Let me introduce myself 🤗 I am Dr. Jessica; owner of Doctor of Human Movement. Believer ✝️ Physical Therapist 👩‍⚕️ Dog-mom 🐕 & Runner🏃‍♀️ I started running around the playground at recess in elementary school and received a cross country award by my 5th grade teacher. I didn’t know what that was, but I joined the cross country team in high school and started competing cross country and track. My favorite events were the 1 mile with a PR of 5:09 and the 2 mile where I got 3rd in the Maryland state track meet with a PR time of 11:18. I loved running so much that I decided to run D1 cross country and track at Liberty University in Virginia where I picked up the steeplechase event. I struggled with many injuries throughout my running journey, and wanted a career that would allow me to give back to the running community. So, I graduated with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Azusa Pacific University and followed that up with an Orthopedic Residency at Kaiser Permanente, and Sports Fellowship. After 6 years of experience I decided to open my own private practice; & yes, I still run for fun!

Some people show up to serve.⁠
⁠
And then they surprise you by showing up to compete.⁠
⁠
Dr. Jessica Gass is known throughout the running community for her knowledge, precision, and passion for human movement. Founder of Doctor of Human Movement, DPT, CSCS, FAAOMPT, her credentials place her in the top tier of her profession nationwide.⁠
⁠
But what we love most about Jessica is not just her resume.⁠
⁠
It is the way she shows up.⁠
⁠
Last year she hosted a pop up clinic at the Malibu Moves Expo, supporting runners before they even reached the start line. And then, at the last minute, she stepped in as a 1:30 Half Marathon pacer.⁠
⁠
And then quietly placed 3rd overall.⁠
⁠
That smile says everything.⁠
⁠
Jessica understands the anatomy, the biomechanics, the science behind performance. But she also understands the heart behind it. As a former Division I athlete who battled injuries and fought her way back, she knows what it feels like to be at a crossroads. And she has dedicated her career to helping others find strength and success through movement.⁠
⁠
We are so grateful our paths crossed.⁠
⁠
Jessica, thank you for bringing your brilliance, your energy, and your joy to Malibu Moves.⁠
⁠
If you are looking for physical therapy or performance coaching from someone who truly lives it, she is now available and accepting clients.⁠
⁠
This is what community leadership looks like.⁠

Meet Dr. Jessica, Malibu Moves Ambassador 🌊⁠
⁠
Jessica competed in high school and as a Division 1 cross country and track athlete. Over time, her relationship with movement shifted from performance-driven to personal: stress management, grounding, and a sense of accomplishment.⁠
⁠
Now she's a running physical therapist and owner of Doctor of Human Movement, helping runners find movement that feels good, sustainable, and supportive for their lives.⁠
⁠
"Let it be an experience, not just a goal. Take a moment to look around, breathe in the ocean air, and appreciate what your body is doing for you.""⁠
⁠
Her biggest advice for new runners: build mileage gradually. There's nothing to prove. ""Listening to your body matters so much, and learning to work with it instead of against it is one of the most powerful things you can do."⁠
⁠
Dr. Jessica is running the Half Marathon at Zuma Beach this October.⁠

We’re addicted and we just can’t get enough. ❤️

The power of women lifting each other UP.

All through running.

I wouldn’t want to have it ANY other way…

Tuesday nights at Birmingham High School 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
There’s something special about watching a group of runners show up, put in the work, and encourage each other through every interval.

As a running PT, I love being part of this community! to help when something hurts, to help runners stay healthy, understand their bodies, and keep doing what they love.

Injury prevention isn’t always complicated. It can be as simple as paying attention to changes in your body, having the right support around you, and recovering well.

And sometimes, it’s just having someone on the sidelines reminding you, “Good job,” “Looking good,” and “Keep it up.” Because encouragement matters too. 🙌

I’m grateful to be able to join the Tuesday Night Track crew each month and be a small part of the community they’ve built. From the energy of the pre-workout “Fire it up” to the last interval, it’s pretty awesome to see runners of all levels show up for themselves and for each other.

Here’s to more healthy miles, strong finishes, and plenty of Tuesday nights on the track. 🏃‍♀️💨

My thoughts this morning post announcing to the TEAM that we were meeting at 7:30 AM high in the mountains above the ocean for a trail run: “I was thinking no one was going to come and I was like… really?” 🤣🤔

But then… THEY SHOWED UP 🙌🏽👏🏽🔥

And we had an unforgettable morning with breathtaking views, quad challenging hills and bonding with teammates that are right by your side.

WOW.

Look at what we are building. ❤️

When these ladies stand on the starting line in 3 weeks…

they’ll be ready.

No empty glasses over HERE - we like our glasses nice and full of positivity.

Cheers to running!!

Shout out to my right hand dude - @joshmitchell_xc who has been by my side the entire summer of this project in every way!

WHAT. A. SOLID. SESSION. 💯🤩
This team absolutely showed up today! Dynamic drills, threshold intervals, hill sprints, strength work… we checked ALL the boxes. 💪🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

So proud of the way everyone keeps rising to the challenge, trusting the process, and bringing energy for each other. THIS is what summer training is about. 🙌

We’re not just chasing faster times—we’re building strong, healthy athletes and stacking quality sessions the smart way to stay ahead of injuries.

Santa Monica Classic 10K, we’re coming for you! 👊🔥

Keep showing up. Keep believing. Keep putting in the work.

This team is getting stronger every week. 🚀
