DR. MEG MOORE (PT, DPT, PCES) is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Certified Pilates Instructor, and founder of the—reform method, a wellness clinic in Wilmette that’s currently in the process of expanding to another North Shore location. Blending evidence-based physical therapy, Pilates, and contemporary athletic flow, the—reform method offers a comprehensive, client-centered approach to healing, performance, and wellbeing. Dr. Moore’s professional journey started within the sports industry, commencing with an eight-year tenure at adidas Sports Licensed Division and adidas Running. Her passion then led her to Gatorade, where she collaborated closely with collegiate athletes, trainers, and physical therapists/rehabilitation specialists. Driven by an unwavering commitment to the field, she pursued her Doctoral degree in Physical Therapy at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. She is also certified as a Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (PCES), with a clinical focus on women’s health, return-to-sport rehab, and functional movement training across the lifespan. At the—reform method, Dr. Moore leads a multidisciplinary team that specializes in orthopedic and sports rehabilitation, women’s health, and overall injury prevention through movement education—integrating Pilates-based rehab to restore alignment and improve strength and mobility.
What excites you most about the future of your industry? The merging of physical therapy and mindful movement is transforming how we view healing. We’re shifting from symptom management to proactive, preventative care.
What conversations are you passionate about bringing to the table? I’m passionate about breaking down outdated beliefs around strength, mobility, and wellness. As a physical therapist and Pilates instructor, I want to help redefine what it means to feel strong—not by how you look, but by how you move, how you feel, and what your body can do. It’s about movement that supports you, builds confidence, prevents injury across the lifespan, and ultimately makes you feel successful. These aren’t fringe topics—they’re essential conversations in health and longevity.
What’s a trend you’re embracing—or challenging? Longevity and intentional movement over performance-based fitness. I’m challenging the outdated narrative that success in wellness is measured by aesthetics or intensity. Function, confidence, education, and the overall health of your body matter more.
What legacy do you hope to leave behind? A community built on compassion, collaboration, and education. I want to be remembered as someone who helped redefine what strength and wellness look like—especially for women—and created opportunities for others to lead with confidence and purpose.
