About
Meet Dr. Sarah Jimenez
Dr. Sarah Jimenez is a first-generation chiropractor and second-generation Latina, born and raised in East Los Angeles. She built Movida around a simple belief: movement is medicine, and health is earned through consistency, education, and intentional care.
Her path started with a love of medicine and sport — a B.S. in Kinesiology from CSU Northridge, followed by a Doctor of Chiropractic from Southern California University of Health Sciences. Over more than ten years in manual therapy and eight-plus years as a high school athletic trainer, she has worked with student-athletes at Bishop Mora Salesian and Don Bosco Technical Institute, and with athletes throughout the San Gabriel Valley and greater Los Angeles.
Family-oriented and faith-driven, she treats every patient as a partner — educating and empowering them to take an active role in their own recovery. That focus on sports medicine and patient-centered care shapes everything at Movida: movement, recovery, and long-term wellness.

On the sideline
Sports care, proven on game day
More than eight years as a high school athletic trainer means injuries get assessed, managed, and rehabbed by someone who has done it on the field — not just in the clinic.
Health is earned through consistency, education, and intentional care.

Nutrition Partner
Nutrition is part of the plan
Adjustments and movement work address how your body loads and moves. Nutrition addresses what it's built from. Where it fits your goals, Dr. Jimenez folds whole-food nutritional support into your care plan — not as a separate sale.
Authorized practitioner
Our nutrition partnership
Movida is an authorized Standard Process practitioner
Standard Process isn't sold in stores. Since 1929 this family-owned Wisconsin company has made whole-food nutritional supplements available only through licensed health care practitioners — and most of their raw materials are grown on their own USDA-certified organic farm in Palmyra, Wisconsin. Being a partner practice means Dr. Jimenez can recommend specific formulas for your plan and give you direct ordering access, so what you take is chosen for you rather than picked off a shelf.

In their words
What patients say about Dr. Jimenez
Movida opened its doors this year — but Dr. Jimenez has been treating patients for over a decade. These are public Google reviews written by patients she cared for at the practices she worked in before opening Movida.
“Sarah has been my person for all my adjustments for years now!! Everytime my body starts to tighten up or anything, she knows exactly what to do so I feel relaxed and better once I leave! Never disappointed, thank you!!!”
“Best money ever spent! Several times now I’ve gone to Sarah in so much pain and left with 100% relief. Not only does she fix my neck and back problems, but she educates me on how to prevent it from happening moving forward. I am officially a customer for life!”
“Sarah has been a huge help! I have a pre-existing injury to my right shoulder/back. With her help, my quality of life and sleep have improved. Sarah takes her time explaining what she is doing and makes you feel comfortable. She has also taken the time to teach me stretches that are helping me strengthen my muscles. Highly recommended!”
“Dr. Jimenez has magical hands! I swear this is better than going to get a massage at a fancy spa. Her adjustments are both relaxing and healing. I was amazed that Dr. Jimenez could assess my ailments with just her fingertips and without me even telling her. She has an incredible ability to make you feel comfortable so she can adjust you with such ease. I feel like a completely new woman every time I go. She has given me tips to correct my running form and help with my chronic piriformis syndrome and exercises to strengthen my wrists and pains from my chronic tendinitis. I’m so thankful for her holistic care and attentiveness to all aspects of my health.”
