My name is Brenda Nava, Doctor of Physical Therapy, and I am deeply passionate about helping people make sense of their pain and feel at home in their bodies again. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals who were doing “everything right” yet continued to live with persistent or unexplained pain. Many of them had been told their symptoms were all in their head, minimized, or left without real answers. Hearing their stories and seeing the emotional toll that pain can take shaped the clinician I am today.

Rather than focusing only on where it hurts, I believe in understanding why pain persists. This belief led me to pursue advanced education in pain science, nervous system regulation, and a bio-psycho-social approach to care. An approach that recognizes that our experiences, stress, emotions, and environment all play a meaningful role in how pain shows up in the body. I’ve learned that healing is not about “fixing” a person, but about empowering them with knowledge, movement, and support.

I founded MOBI Physical Therapy & Wellness to create a space where people feel heard, believed, and respected. A place where care is never rushed, questions are encouraged, and treatment is collaborative. Whether someone is navigating chronic pain, recovering from injury, or seeking wellness support, my goal is to provide evidence-based tools that help them understand their body, calm their nervous system, and move with confidence again.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: your pain is real, your story matters, and you deserve care that honors the whole you. I am honored to walk alongside my clients as they reconnect with movement, regain trust in their bodies, and reclaim the parts of life pain once took away.
