Movement is Life was founded in 2010 by a coalition of healthcare leaders, researchers, and advocates who recognized the powerful connection between mobility, overall health, and quality of life. Together, they sought to address the barriers that prevent women from living active, healthy lives and to advance solutions that improve health outcomes through movement.
With the early support of Zimmer Biomet and the unwavering commitment of a dedicated advisory board, Movement is Life grew into a nationally recognized initiative focused on improving the lives of women through education, research, advocacy, and community engagement. For more than a decade, these leaders helped guide the organization’s vision, ensuring that women—particularly those facing barriers to health and mobility—remained at the center of the work.
In 2022, Movement is Life transitioned to an independent nonprofit organization, strengthening our ability to expand partnerships, deepen community impact, and advance our mission across the country.
What began as an effort to address disparities in musculoskeletal health has evolved into a national movement focused on empowering women and girls to improve their health, mobility, and quality of life. Over the years, Movement is Life has expanded its impact through community engagement, leadership development, health education, national convenings, innovative partnerships, and advocacy efforts that help women take charge of their health and future.
