This couldnt have been a more helpful, uplifting experience. I went to MOTI after months of debilitating back pain, frustrated I wasnt getting better. Dr. Kirk Ramirez had such thoughtful courses of action for every issue I brought his way. I love how he encouraged me to stay active as a road toward recovery and taught me basic, foundational movements that, once I started getting better, paved way for more intense exercises that helped me build my strength back up. Not only does my back feel great now. I also feel more excited about exercising regularly than I ever have before. Dr. Kirk and the lovely people at MOTI will meet you where you are, encourage you to be proactive (while coaching you through mishaps along the way), and set you on a sustainable course to taking good care of yourself.

I cant express enough what exceptional care I received at MOTI. Every PT specialist is top notch and Id like to give a special shout out to Ann and Kirk who are both incredible and helped me tremendously on my healing journey! The music at the space always sets a great mood and props to Charles who oversees the playlists. I highly recommend MOTI if you have PT needs.

I saw Dr. Kirk twice a week for six weeks for a shoulder injury. He by far exceeded my expectations in every way. Instead of just helping me do exercises, he taught me different ways to not only strengthen my shoulder but also to strengthen all the muscles around my injury. He explained everything in detail and gave me different exercises to do at home to keep things interesting. He taught me the importance of my overall fitness and strength -- after all, my shoulder doesnt exist in a vacuum!He also took time to ask about my long term goals and worked at every session to help me achieve them. I mentioned wanting to take a strength class at my gym but I was intimidated. He spent time teaching me how to do basic strengthening exercises in all muscle groups. Everything he taught me carried over to my gym classes and Im now going to the gym regularly.Dr. Kirk is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly wants to help his patients live their best and healthiest lives. He focuses not only on the current injury but how to prevent injuries in the future. Im eating better, strengthening my muscles and improving my cardiovascular fitness, all using the tools I learned in my sessions with Dr. Kirk.

Nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience with Dr. Kirk Ramirez and Moti PT! After two other experiences with other physical therapists at different locations, I finally found the right fit for my ankle injury with Dr. Kirk! His experience, knowledge, and professionalism was unparalleled. He had thorough answers to my questions and really seemed to know his stuff. In addition to my ankle, when I asked about hip pain and a hand problem, he immediately had great advice! He genuinely wanted to help and had a variety of strategies and techniques to try. Also, he spent more direct 1:1 time with me than my two other previous experiences which was incredibly valuable. Moti itself is organized, clean, and easy to work with. Overall, A+ experience and highly recommend!

This review focuses on MOTI Highland Park. Ive had three distinct courses of treatment at MOTI which has given me good insights into the quality of care there. First, Dr. Anne DeGrey, recommended by my amazing non-surgeon orthopedic MD, Steve Yoon, treated me for knee disease (arthritis, chondromalacia of the patella and worn anterior meniscus). The condition was painful and disabling -- I was really suffering. With Dr. DeGreys therapeutic adjustments and her strengthening protocol that focussed on legs/glutes, administered by her staff of aides, I now walk regularly without pain. Admittedly I havent hiked up Mt Baldy in a while for fear of starting the cycle of ouch all over again but Ive put off knee replacement and couldnt be happier getting around on my natural knees. More recently, I underwent autologous bilateral breast reconstruction (aka DIEP flaps) and returned for more help, post-surgery and a year later when my abdomen got hard as a rock following revision surgery. My plastic surgeon recommended MFR (myofascial release) but the MFR masseuse wouldnt touch my abdomen because it was so hard. I returned to Dr. DeGrey and she got to work. While I still have some tugging at the abdominal scar line, the shooting nerve pain, the hard fascia and stiffness are gone and I couldnt be more grateful. Dr. DeGrey will use different modalities (massage, fascia scraping, cupping, other) if needed. The facility is very well-equipped with Kaiser machines, TRX, weights, balls, cardio equipment, stretching cages etc. The environment is low-key and comfortable. They have parking. I used to laugh about PT years ago when all Id get was a little massage and stimulation from a TENS unit. I highly recommend MOTI, Dr. Anne De Grey and her staff. Ive also received treatment from Dr. Lei Lee and she was great too!

The physical therapists are kind people, doing honest work.The business admin and cancellation policies are predatory.Several weeks before an appointment I called and canceled all my appointments as I no longer needed them. I was surprised to receive an email reminder for an appointment I thought we canceled. I replied to the email and asked them to cancel the appointment.Days later I get a mailer demon email that MOTI didnt receive my email reply. Why make it hard for your patient to communicate with an email you sent? Its 2024, emailing a business should not be hard.Unfortunately, I get the mailer notice on the day of the appointment. I call immediately and explain the situation. I send a screenshot of my reply to their email. Surely the fact that I called weeks earlier, emailed them days ago, and called again today is enough communication for them?Apparently not.They decided to charge me $75 for not cancelling in time.Ive paid for several dozen appointments at MOTI over multiple years. I appreciated my time here. The PTs are good people. Unfortunately, they havent been able to help heal my hip injury and my doctor wants me to try a different PT company.MOTIs business communications leaves a lot to be desired. They recently raised their prices and cancellation fees. Almost as if they make their money by trapping people with cancellation fees rather than providing a service.Unfortunately, I cannot recommend doing business with them.

Kirk Ramirez is an incredible physical therapist! I went to see him in a fog of continuous headaches that had lasted for months. He listened, and gave me a multi-faceted approach (from humming to stretching to strength training) that has not only stopped the cycle of pain, but inspired my interest in weights and daily strength training. Youll be lucky to get the kind of customized attention and knowledge that Kirk has to offer. He understands that several things may be causing your pain (stress, fear, muscular pain, general cluelessness about living in a mysterious meatsack of a body) and he doesnt make you feel bad about it. In fact he gets you to feel really good and empowered in your body, which is a true gift.

I highly recommend Moti! Dr Kirk Ramirez helped me with my tendonitis on my elbow, he is so knowledgable and put me on a program to strengthen all the muscles around that elbow (wrist, fingers, forearms, and shoulders) to promote healing and prevent future reoccurrence. It was a pleasure to consult with him and have him help with so many questions I had, I learned so much about how the body works, then trained with the friendliest staff at Moti to do my rounds of exercises.

If you are interested in finding a high quality physical therapy location, MOTI Physiotherapy in Highland Park is the place for you. I highly recommend MOTI for any of your physical therapy needs. It definitely deserves 5 stars.I have been going to MOTI on and off since early 2020. My therapist is Dr. Ann DeGrey. Ann is an expert in the field, highly skilled, experienced and caring. I also have the pleasure of working with Dr. Lei Lee. Lei is knowledgeable, personable and attentive. Along with treatments from Ann and Lei, I have a customized exercise program for use in the clinic and at home. As I progress in meeting my goals, the exercises are modified to reflect my improvement and to continue to challenge me. The well trained and capable aides work with me on the exercises in the clinic and are a joy to work with. The administrative staff members are always helpful and efficient.The facility is spacious and filled with high quality equipment. What makes MOTI such a special place, however, is the welcoming, warm and positive environment. All the therapists, the aides and the front desk staff are friendly, encouraging, and supportive. Patients feel everyone is committed to and care about their success.Ann, Lei and the MOTI team have gotten me through back issues, knee issues, cardio issues and 2 total hip replacement surgeries. They have my gratitude and my highest recommendation.

I had a great experience at MOTI with Dr. Daniel and all the aides. Dr. Daniel listened well, was very knowledgeable and helped me stay patient in my recovery. I am so grateful I found this place and stuck with it. I was having major thoracic back pain with no actual injury. Dr. Daniel was able to explain where the pain was coming from and worked with me to build muscle in order to ease that pain.Also, the facility is great! Good, clean equipment and everyone is so nice and welcoming.

Always great service at MOTI HP! They’ve really helped me get my health back after I was working so many hours at a desk. Love Kirk, Ann, and the rest of the crew.

Dr. Lei was great for pelvic floor PT after my pregnancy left me with pelvic floor weakness and diastasis recti. She was knowledgeable and approachable: she explained things clearly in a way that was easy to understand and would also tell me what she was going to do before she would start. I would definitely recommend her for pelvic floor PT! The facility seems clean and the staff knowledgeable, although they do have a pretty strict cancellation policy.

MOTI was pivotal in my recovery these past few weeks, and the treatment I received there was exceptional. My guy was Dr. Kirk Ramirez, who I absolutely loved, and would recommend to anyone in need of some PT. All of the assistants were extremely attentive as well. I came in there with a shoddy disk in my Neck, and it took a mere 4-6 weeks to get me back to normal, no surgery or anything further required. He also educated me on proper mechanics (form) to take home, which made all the difference in getting me back to game shape. Look no further than MOTI if youre need of high quality PT.

HORRIBLE PLACE! Beware of this place! Its a hustle and a scam. You will spend one session with a physical therapist and the rest of the sessions with an incompetent student intern. I cancelled an appointment a day in advance due to illness and was still charged. I guess they would rather have sick people show up. I will NEVER return.

Review №15

2024-01-03 21:53:47

While the actual physical therapists are GREAT, I am giving 1 star to management due to their cancellation policy. If you are sick with a fever and call them in the morning to cancel your appointment, they will charge you $75!!! Which forces you to come in SICK. So ridiculous!

My experience at MOTI was amazing! I saw Dr. Derek when I was having chronic ankle sprains following two ankle surgeries, and working with him has given me a lot more confidence and strength. Everyone who works there is so positive, extremely helpful, and they all seem to love what they do and really care about all of their patients. Dr. Derek specifically is invested in his patients lives, and he wanted me to get back to doing the things I love as much as I did. If I ever have anymore problems or any friends who need PT, Im definitely recommending MOTI!

Derek Nishikawa is great to work with, especially if you’re an athlete focused on getting back to what you do. Derek took me seriously and set honest and specific goals based on my needs that gave me real results. I had a 2 level lumbar disk replacement in June. I had to completely rebuild my entire core starting from zero again. My first day at MOTI I could barely even walk in the place. Today I’m happy to say that 100 days later I’ve completed my time with Derek and am blown away by the level of strength and rebuilding we were able to do in such a short amount of time. He sent me off with great knowledge and clear direction on a program that will help me with continued strength and physical success the rest of my life.

My experience at MOTI with Dr. Derek Nishikawa was absolutely incredible! I went in with a torn meniscus and a pain level ranging from 8-10 on a daily basis. 6 weeks later and the pain is basically non-existent. Dr. Derek helped me understand my body and movements, build up my strength, and gave me the tools to continue on being mindful of positioning and form while working out and in my every day life. I am so grateful and cannot recommend MOTI and Dr. Derek enough!

Dr. Nico helped my injured shoulder and gave me the confidence I needed to start working out again! Had such a great experience at MOTI and would definitely recommend this to anyone needing the support during their recovery process.

I just wanted to share my experience here because most of the reviews are great, and I had a pretty awful experience here. I spent six months working on an injury without making any headway - my questions were mostly ignored, and I was never assessed properly to begin with. I was passed on to a new PT, and when I explained the situation, he literally rolled his eyes at the work the other PT had done. Still didnt assess me much, didnt explain much. I was able to spend a few hours online looking through my symptoms, diagnosing myself, and got a personal trainer who helped me way more than the people at MOTI did. Hundreds of dollars down the drain. Plus, my grandfather died during the end of my time with them, and when I called to cancel my appointment 23 hours beforehand, they sent me a bill for $75. Lastly, the people who work at the desk clearly hate working there and say hello without looking up at you, and then ignore you. This place sucks, I would highly recommend going somewhere else.

Dr. Derek is a truly wonderful and professional therapist who guided me through healing my injured shoulder. The care he gave and protocol he had me do outside of sessions had my shoulder back in action way quicker than I had anticipated. The whole MOTI staff was great as well, booking sessions was easy as they had the flexible schedule I needed. Highly recommend!

Dr. Derek (Highland location) is hands down the best PT Ive ever worked with. I saw Dr. Derek for recovery from two arthroscopic hip surgeries (my third and fourth overall). Dr. Derek is a skilled practitioner who obviously cares immensely about the well-being of his patients, and who works hard to craft customized and impactful physical therapy programs. He spent the time to understand how I was feeling about my surgeries/recovery, and I always felt heard when I had feedback. With Dr. Derek, I felt like I was getting the most out of the effort and energy I was putting in, and he motivated me to want to engage with my therapy, helping me meet or exceed my recovery timeline at every step. I think a great PT has to strike the balance between meeting their patients where they are, and at the same time, pushing them to go beyond their limits, and Dr. Derek is truly excellent at navigating this. Goes without saying, but Highland MOTI is a wonderful place, where it felt like everyone was rooting me on, and I looked forward to every visit.

Kirk was a fantastic PT helping me recover from double ankle break surgery. He nurtured me through many months of recovery, eventually helping me to walk again. He pushed me past some of my mental limitations showing me what I was capable of.

I tore my ACL in December, and underwent PT at MOTI for 7 months. I have nothing but glowing praise for the facilities and staff. The front office always accommodated my schedule needs, and was friendly and supportive. My Physical Therapist was Connor Munro. I cannot overstate how supportive he was - he really got me through a tough period of time for my body and my mind. He designed a perfectly paced rehabilitation practice, was full of humor and lightness and excellent conversation, and displayed tremendous expertise, knowledge and flexibility. I was always excited for our sessions, which not only brought my knee back to full range of mobility and reinforced the muscles surrounding my injury, but gave me a much needed outlet for exercise. Request Connor! He will become your friend :)

I had a truly great experience working with Dr. Nico Docil at MOTI Physical Therapy after hurting my shoulder. He was understanding, patient and goal oriented. Nico and team members, gave me so much range of motion back in my arm that I am forever thankful. So much of physical therapy is pushing through pain for better results and he struck a great balance of empathy and discipline that made a huge difference in my recovery.

MOTI Highland Park helped me rehabilitate a new hip. Dr. Nico Docil, my therapist was fantastic - always challenging me, but also meeting me where I was physically, and helping me heal and rebuild my strength quickly. The support staff were also great, from the people at the front desk to the PT assistants.

MOTI was a tremendous help in my recovery from a sports-related injury. Derek Nishikawa and the team around him were incredibly friendly, extremely helpful, and nothing but encouraging during my time there.The facility is great and theres more than enough space even when it gets a bit busy. The initial sign up and assessment process was a breeze and made subsequent visits even more seamless. Its bright, clean, and very open – its very encouraging to see all the different types of people getting help and getting better.Derek was the real highlight. He made my recovery so much more palatable because he took the time to understand my lifestyle and cater my activities/recovery to fit. He approached each visit with the same attention and care as the first, even as it was clear I was on the mend. I never felt like I did not receive his full attention. Derek will be my first stop in the future.TL;DR – MOTI is top-rate. Derek is the man. You will get better if you go.

I had a fantastic experience at MOTI and would not hesitate to use them again in the future. The PT program is tailored to your needs and goals.

Nico was my therapist in the Highland Park location. I worked with him for a couple months prior to an ACL knee surgery to get strong and of course post surgery. Nico made therapy fun but also took a lot of care in personalizing my plan and pushing me. The whole Moti team was excellent.

I worked with Ann DeGray and Daniel Villamayor at Highland Park MOTI for months following my hip surgery last May and they were both INCREDIBLE. Super knowledgeable and professional. They got me on a great treatment plan and were quick to adjust as things came up (as they do with surgery). Injuries and surgeries are pretty terrifying. They can throw our lives into total uncertainty. The folks at Highland Park MOTI really held my hand through recovery and even made it... dare I say, fun...???

This review is for MOTI Physiotherapy in Highland Park and specifically for Dr. Derek Nishikawa. December 2020 I had a cervical disc replacement of my C5-C6 at UCLA. After the surgery I went through PT with UCLA but had to cut it short to leave the country for work (during the pandemic which made getting PT outside the US very difficult)). When I returned, I decided to try a recommendation for MOTI rather then return to UCLA as it was closer to me and I was hoping for my personalized care. MOTI exceeded my expectations. I was a patient of Dr. Derek from August 2021 until last month April 2022. In that time we worked not only on my neck recovery but also the nerve symptoms and pain I had from Thoracic Outlet Syndrome which I likely had as a result of my physiology combined with the scar tissue from my surgery. When I first started working with Dr. Derek I was in a constant state of pain. However, through my weekly visits and the care and strengthening plan he had me on, I slowly started not only lessening the pain but recognizing what would cause the flares and I was able to listen to my body and adjust things like posture or movement to stop the flares before they got bad. These days I still have the occasional nerve flares and some pain if I have been bad with my posture or exercise but these are the kinds of pain I had before my surgery just from daily life and the way we all work in front of computers now. The difference is now I know how to correct things so those little aches and pains dont get bad. Im also at strength training gym now and doing body building and strength training work that I would have never have been able to without the healing I did with Dr. Derek and MOTI. Dr. Derek was also kind enough to email back and forth with my trainer at my gym to ensure everything I was doing would benefit me and not undo any of the work we did. I also have to say that their staff is really wonderful as well- especially Darlene and Christiana at the front desk with Patient Coordination. All of the assistants are wonderful as well when working with you on your strength exercises. I can only speak for the Highland Park location but just based on them alone, I would feel very comfortable recommending any MOTI location.

Loved my experience at MOTI! Im convinced I couldnt have recovered as well from my ACL surgery anywhere else. Dr Derek really helps take your life into consideration when creating plans for getting you back to your normal activities. Everyone from the aides to the front desk were so kind and accommodating. Thanks to everyone for getting me back on my feet!

I had the pleasure to have worked with Dr. Mia Sugi Wassink at MOTI in Highland Park after I injured my knee playing sports. I didnt need surgery, but rather about 6-8 weeks of PT was prescribed. Mia was amazing and really helpful. Always considerate of how my knee was feeling and developing exercise routines based on how it was responding. I graduated the program of about 10 total sessions and my knee feels great and I am back playing sports like I did before the injury. The facilities were excellent too. Plenty of specifically designed workout tools and space to do the exercises. Very clean, as well. I cant recommend Mia and MOTI enough.

I have had 4 knee surgeries, combined with bursitis of the hip and issues with my back - I have had a great deal of experience with physical therapy.I believe that Dr. Connor Munro, at MOTI Physiotherapy in Highland Park,gave me the best therapy program I have ever experienced. His approach was thoughtful, patient, and he adjusted the work to my abilities. I highly recommend Dr. Connor and his staff at MOTI.

Kind of hard to believe that a place could have this many five star reviews, but its real. I came in about 1 month post-op to rehab my right leg tib/fib fracture, and Dr. Kirk helped me learn to walk fully normally again over the course of six weeks. A great listener and full of insights even at the 7AM hour, which is already much more than most PT offices can offer! Everyone at MOTI is extremely knowledgeable and ready to get down into the gnarliest details of your physical performance in order to help you build yourself back up. Dont go anywhere else.

Dr. Derek Nishikawa is the best physical therapist to me without doubt. He is professional and courtesy, and treat his patients with respect. The evaluation at the beginning of my treatment was detailed and thorough. A well thought out treatment plan and patient explanation assured me this doctor knows what he is talking about. It worked perfectly. All my symptoms disappeared after three weeks treatment and tailored individual exercises improved my condition and posture, and kept me symptom free. The staff and his team are wonderful and offered the best support and assistance to me. Thank Dr. Derek Nishikawa and MOTI for an excellent experience at a well equipped facility.

MOTI Physiotherapy is everything youre looking for in a physical therapy provider--friendly staff (literally, everyone), knowledgeable doctors and assistants. In 2.5 months, I went from just recovered from a hip injury and wobbly walking/running, to refereeing competitive older-teenage soccer matches. Dr. Derek Nishikawa, in particular, did a great job of listening to my goals and needs, designed a great program, and pushed me just enough. The assistants are all very well prepared, and played a very important role in my full recovery. The facilities are also very clean, very robust in the amount of equipment/open space available. Top notch! Thanks again, all of you at MOTI. I will forever have great appreciation for your work and dedication.

I had an amazing experience here at MOTI physical therapy with Dr. Derek Nishikawa. He is an amazing physical therapist with a true passion of helping his clients get back to whatever activities they do. He helped give me the tools and confidence to get back into the gym after an injury. I couldn’t thank him enough for the knowledge and support he has provided me. 12/10 experience.

Loved working with Dr. Mia here - shes so hilarious and really knows her stuff. She helped me with two injuries while I was here - a tendon injury to my foot in the beginning of the year and a broken hand rehab later in the year.Their facilities are really clean and they have lots of equipment you can use after your sessions including an army of Theraguns. I almost wish I was still injured so I could keep coming back here!

Dr. Derek Nishikawa was thorough and dedicated to helping me rehabilitate my ankle after a bad sprain that would not heal on its own. He helped me understand the plan to rehab and build the muscles around my ankle so that I was not only doing all of the work, I was understanding the methodology behind it. I am now able to do Yoga, HIIT classes and hike, whereas I was uncomfortable doing those things before PT as I was constantly re-injuring myself. And best of all, he figured out what type of exercises I responded well to (games!) and made physical therapy fun!

Had the best experience at MOTI working with Dr. Kirk Ramirez. I love the space and the people are really kind and helpful. Dr. Kirk along with the help of Ciena really helped get me on the right path to working through my neck and shoulder pain. Their guidance really helped me to feel better and stronger, but also have the tools I need to continue on afterward so that I have more balance and mobility in my body. So thankful for Dr. Kirk and the team at MOTI. Seriously my experience at MOTI has been life changing and Im so thankful I started going there!

MOTI was so instrumental to my healing journey. My work with Kirk Ramirez was enlightening, supportive, and immediately effective. I came to MOTI because I had had tension headaches and migraines for YEARS and was running out of hope they could be improved. I discovered upon arrival that there was a significant postural component with my neck and upper back had been contributing to the frequency and severity of the headaches and no one had caught it in the past. I got results from my work with MOTI immediately. I was only there for two and a half months before I increased my mobility and strength, reduced the amount of headaches I was having--and graduated on to continued recovery on my own. I couldnt believe that Dr. Kirk could look at my body for 45 minutes and immediately diagnose something that had been going on without clarity for years! All the physical therapy aides are fantastic, as well, and were committed to my recovery, and made me feel comfortable with gym equipment that used to intimidate me. I now feel set up to take better care of my body and keep my headaches to a minimum for life. Its clear this is a great place to work. All staff are friendly, committed, and kind. That part, I especially appreciated. Thank you, MOTI!

Dr. Derek Nishikawa was an incredible therapist to work with. I went from zero functionality to full functionality in my shoulder in just a few months. Derek took great care to design a personal therapy experience that applied to all of my daily activities. Hes knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive. Whole staff was kind and helpful as well. Cheers!

I had broken my ankle in May ‘22 and originally I was supposed to go to PT in Pasadena since that’s where my ortho surgeon recommended. However, my MIL had mentioned how much she loved Moti - Highland Park after she had bunion surgery so I decided to try them out.Let’s just say Dr. Mia is the best! I started PT with her in July and by Sept, I was back running on the treadmill for Barry’s and OTF!! Also, I had my wedding in Oct. By then, I was able to run in my heels! I returned back to Dr. Mia when I sprained my wrist and she helped me too!! The people who work here have the utmost respect and care for you as a patient. They’re all so relatable and personable from day 1! Definitely recommend to everyone I know!

I have been to physical therapy several different times over the years at different facilities, all for the same issue- chronic lower back and hip pain caused by arthritis. Working with Dr. Derek at Moti was the very first time I had been discharged from a facility while feeling absolutely no pain. Its literally the first time in years I have spent consecutive days pain free. I had come to believe that even though I was young and in great health, my chronic pain was something I was going to have to manage for the rest of my life; thankfully that doesnt seem to be true and I am hopeful for a healthy, comfortable and active future. Dr. Derek absolutely knows his stuff. From day one he was able to articulate what was happening in my body, why it was happening, and what we needed to do to keep it from progressing. He didnt simply tell me I needed a stronger core, which was a confusing thing other therapists would say to me, but instead he recognized that I was already strong and just needed to be able to utilize that strength throughout my daily activities and make sure my back was supported by the power of the other areas of my body. I worked hard in these sessions with Dr. Derek and the assistants- I never left MOTI without sweat dripping down my back. But the results were almost immediate. The new, piercing pain I arrived with on the first day was gone after the second session, and the lingering, constant pain I had come to live with was also gone after I had been visiting MOTI for several weeks, which I didnt expect at all. Even though it was hard work, I looked forward to coming into MOTI every session because I was seeing results and was finally optimistic about my back problems, for the first time in years. I highly recommend MOTI as a facility and I think that Dr. Derek is an absolute gem - you are lucky if you get the chance to work with him! Also, shout out to Christine at the front desk who never failed to give me a bright hello each time I walked through the doors!

I have been seeing Dr Ann on and off for about 7 years. She is fantastic! I have followed her as she has moved to different locations. After my first hip replacement she helped my recovery time go much faster. Now unfortunately it looks like the other hip needs replacing and she is helping me again. I look forward to another speedy recovery.The staff at MOTI are great. All friendly and caring and very respectful: something I really appreciate You can’t go wrong checking out MOTI if you need help.

I had a GREAT experience working with Dr. Nico Docil and the staff around him. In May this year, I hurt my left knee while playing basketball. I got to work with a physical therapist right away but after a few visits, I didnt feel like I was getting better. After some googling, I made an appointment with Moti Physiotherapy (Highland Park) location and got referred to Dr. Nico Docil to help treat my knee pain. Dr. Nico was really professional, communicative, and knowledgeable. He spent time to understand the cause of my pain and my lifestyle and build out tailored programs to not only help me alleviate my pain but make me work on core muscles to get stronger. He was very attentive during each appointment to understand how my knee felt and what I did throughout that week, and he worked with his team to build out programs to help me progress. After a few months of working with him and the team, I feel not only confident to return to the activities I enjoy doing but also more conscious of my form and movements when working out, which is crucial to prevent me from re-injured. I would highly recommend Dr. Nico to any hoopers or athletes who are dealing with tendonitis or pain in general. Lastly, the clinic in the Highland Park location is clean, spacious, and well-equipped. I have never felt it was too crowded or I had to wait to use any equipment for my treatment.

I had such a great experience at Moti, particularly with Dr. Lei Lee who was my therapist. Dr. Lei is attentive, knowledgeable, kind, and supportive. She really knows what shes doing and helped both my back pain and pelvic floor issues immensely. When I began my sessions I was unable to run more than two miles and was experiencing stress incontinence whenever I ran. Now I am easily running seven miles with no issues. Highly recommend her and everyone at Moti!

Dr. Mia Sugi Wassink at Moti Physiotherapy is a great physical therapist. She takes the time to listen to your concerns, assess your condition, coordinate the exercises that will benefit you and encourage you to do them at home as well as at Physical Therapy for the best outcome. She remembers what you have discussed with her during the sessions, whether relating to physical issues or personal matters, and asks you how you are coming along as it relates to all that you have discussed. In addition to her excellent physical therapy expertise, she is very kind and nuturing. It would be very wise to seek her out if you are in need of physical therapy.

Dr. Kirk Ramirez at MOTI was recommended to me by a friend who had gone through physical therapy with him for a knee injury. I am a nerd and hate gyms so I was nervous about the gym setting when I arrived. But Dr. Kirk is no meat head. Hes super professional and hes *not phoning it in.* He really cares about his patients success in recovery. Hes just a sincere guy. He listens to feedback and adjusts treatment as needed. And he pushes you to keep challenging yourself physically (without hurting yourself). And hes got a sense of humor.The gym setting is kind of nice because it doesnt feel like a medical setting. Ive been to PT places in the past that felt very much like a clinic and made me feel like a sick person. MOTI is more like an all-abilities gym. Everyone there is working through some sort of physical injury at their own pace. Ive had a lot of progress (more than I expected) working with Dr. Kirk to reduce the severity of my sciatica. I thought for sure I would need another surgery but now that my pain levels are so low Im not looking for surgical options. Just looking to keep up with the PT exercises at home.

I had the greatest experience coming here the whole team is so friendly and caring. I fully tore my meniscus and had to get knee surgery. Recovering was difficult and I couldnt fully bend or sit on my knee before coming to MOTI. My physical therapist Derek was extremely helpful and showed me exercises to improve the areas I was struggling with. I was concerned I wouldnt be able to skate again but after hard work with MOTI I improved to a point where I am fully recovered. Thank you Derek for saving my knee! I highly recommend this place!

There should be more space to describe what a great clinic Moti is. Mia is fantastic! Super professional, has a deep understanding of body mechanics and wants to teach you whats going on so you can take that knowledge with you when youre done with therapy. Then you add in a great personality to be around and youve got a super motivating, positive and informative PT. Shes my girl! This is the place to go.

If you are on the fence about giving Moti a try for your recovery, please dont. I worked primarily with Dr. Kirk Ramirez for 7 months following my stroke. He was very thorough during my initial assessment. Way better than my neurologist at the time. He listened to me each and every session and focused his care based on that and overall goal to strengthen and help regain my balance. He is tough and warned me from day one, that he would not take it easy and he didnt. There were times when coming in for therapy was the only help I felt I was getting to make a difference in my recovery. I also got to work with Dr. Ari (also highly recommended) a few times. He worked with my husbands terrible neck issues. Dr. Ari also recommended me to the best neurologist in Pasadena! and for that Ill be eternally grateful. I could go on and on.... Moti is really a great place to go for your therapy. I miss them and the ONLY reason I stopped going is that my insurance carrier changed and they dont work with Cigna.

The staff at MOTI are incredible! As a professional dancer, Ive struggled with recovering properly from a knee dislocation and remember my early PT experiences involving a lot of icing and electrical stimulation. I heard about MOTI within the dance community, so I decided to sign up and start committing to PT again after almost 8 years. I worked with Daniel V. who was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and just fun to work with. This was probably the first time I was ever aware of intentionally activating the arches of my feet and it has made all the difference in my therapy. With just two months at MOTI, I feel less strain and fatigue in my knee joint, and I feel like I can better trust my body in weight-bearing and moving on my left leg again. I am seriously so thankful for all the help and support I got from Daniel and the incredible PT aides at MOTI. Truly such a treat. The education/training I got during my short time there is indispensable and I cant recommend them enough!

I had the pleasure to work with Dr. Nico Docil at MOTI Physiotherapy, and this was by far the best physical therapy I have ever had. Nico and the aides at MOTI are extremely knowledgeable about biomechanics and human musculature and ligamenture, and employ a wide variety of exercise to aid in recovery.Moreover, this facility is extremely well equipped, allowing for a huge range of different exercises to be performed. My favorite thing about working here was how often they emphasized a pain-free road to recovery. By gradually easing my back into the exercises that I wanted to do, slowly increasing my range of motion and load, I was able to make a recovery on an injury I had been dealing with for over a year before coming to MOTI.Of course, I hope I never need physical therapy again, but if I do, MOTI will be the first facility that I go to, and Nicos will be the first name that I request. I highly recommend this center for all your physical therapy needs!

Dr. Mia Sugi Wassink was essential in my recovery after breaking my foot. She brings a warm positive energy and a sense of humor to her sessions, and was really able to assess and figure out what I needed to do to get stronger and back running. Because she is a runner herself I felt she could really relate to my desire to return to running.I really like this clinic as well! Its set up like a gym and after you meet with your PT, you get to do exercises with one of the aides. Theyve got music playing, adding to the enjoyment of the PT experience.Not to mention, Fresco community supermarket is next store if you feel like picking up groceries or a yummy snack after your session.

From the first consultation I was taken by her breadth of knowledge, attention to my specific PT needs, and her rockstar personality...shes an absolute delight. The entire staff is attentive, present, and dedicated to making MOTI a top tier destination for physical therapy and training. The facilities? Awesome and designed to keep your program fresh and relevant through the various stages of your recovery/training cycle . From professional dancers to pro skaters, entertainment folks, and everyone in between-- this is the spot. A great vibe. Youll be well taken care of, enjoy.

I went to MOTI with a herniated disc. When I arrived, I could barely move, and could not stand up for more than a couple moments. Under Dr. Kirk Ramirezs care, I was able to make a strong recovery and avoid both surgery and injections. I had been dealing with this injury for a while, and it had become more painful than anything else Ive experienced, now after a couple months of care I have significantly less pain than I had all year, and the tools to keep progressing. The care I received here was thoughtful and thorough, and the care plan was comprehensive and clearly laid out. Definitely would recommend this as a top choice for any kind of recovery.

Last fall, I started dealing with tennis elbow, as well as shoulder and neck issues. After seeing a few different specialists and trying various forms of therapy without any substantial result, someone highly recommended me to try MOTI.So I started physical therapy at the Highland Park clinic back in November. I first worked with Mia (who went on maternity leave after a few months), and then continued my treatments with Lei. Both of them took such great care of me, were always so attentive and really wanted to help and improve my situation in order for me to feel better. They sometimes would even check on me on their own time via email, which was so thoughtful and appreciated! Their knowledge of the body and dedication to their patients is truly remarkable. And the entire staff at MOTI is extremely kind, welcoming and professional as well.I have now graduated from MOTI as I recently got discharged by Lei. I have seen a lot of improvement in my body and feel much much better. I also learned so many things through the process to improve my posture and health, which I have been applying in my everyday life and has been making a huge difference.I STRONGLY recommend MOTI, and specifically Lei and Mia whenever she returns, for anyone dealing with injuries and/or needing a little TLC. As a professional dancer and athlete, I look for someone I trust and feel at ease with to help when my body needs it, and I will DEFINITELY return to MOTI anytime I need a fix!Thank you Lei, Mia and everyone at MOTI Highland Park!!!!

I cannot express enough how much Moti physiotherapy and especially Derick have helped me. I came in with a serious shoulder injury after surgery and had a tear in my knee.Derick patiently helped me through the process of fully recovering from both injuries. At times I felt so discouraged by Derick never let up and was immensely encouraging and positive which really helped when I was over it. He also pushed me exactly the amount I needed to be to recover.If anyone has an injury I reckoned Moti 10/10 times. All the staff are incredibly knowledgeable and understanding. Best Pt in town. Thank you derick, I have my body back!

I have nothing but great things to say about MOTI! From the beginning, the customer service staff has been friendly and helpful and got me a same day appointment. The facility is clean and large enough that it feels safe in COVID times. My primary therapist Kirk is supportive, incredibly knowledgable, and great at breaking down treatments/exercises and why they work. The techs/trainees are also well qualified and friendly. Ive come a long way in my treatment (Sciatica) thanks to MOTI, but Im almost sad to stop treatment since I look forward to coming in for each appointment and getting a solid workout and catching up with the MOTI therapists and staff. I recommend MOTI to anyone and everyone!

I cant rate Moti any higher. I had a pretty uncomfortable shoulder injury, could barely comb my hair at the beginning. Started with a great consultation with PT Kirk Ramirez who then guided me through a several week program that was fantastic. The program not only helped me regain my mobility it also helped me stabilize my shoulder and get my mechanics a lot better. Also, I was able to do all this thru telehealth sessions which has been a great option during this time of Covid-19. I am now back to doing all my pre-injury workouts and feeling pretty great! I highly recommend.

After 6 months of tailbone pain, seeing a chiropractor and acupuncturist, and having x-rays with my MD, I was referred to MOTI through my insurance. I was unable to sit or lay down without being in pain. I started working with Kirk (Kirkland Ramirez) and on our first visit saw improvement. Kirk helped me to strengthen my muscles and start to get back in shape. Kirk is very professional and personable and helped pinpoint exercises to improve my workout posture and focus on the correct muscles when working out. My tailbone pain decreased by 40%, but since some still remained, Kirk referred me to Nancy Wong to have my pelvic floor checked. I really appreciated how many different exercises Kirk had me do to try and figure out the source of the pain.It was so convenient and helpful to be able to be referred at the same location. Nancy is amazing and makes you feel so comfortable. With her pelvic floor stretches ( and other treatments) and foam rolling, I was able to significantly decrease my tailbone pain. This was so exciting after so long! Nancy taught me really easy and helpful exercises that work to relieve my pain. I saw Nancy twice a week and over three weeks my pain decreased completely. The best part is that the exercises I can do Independently if I need them.It happened that I had two road trips during the time I was at MOTI, both Kirk and Nancy took time to go over exercises that would help to relieve my pain since sitting while driving was painful for me. I really appreciated both of their care.Aside from Kirk and Nancy, ALL the MOTI employees are phenomenal—the employees at the front desk, the amazing aids (Thank you Victor and Maria!), and other therapists. MOTI is a great place to recover. I recommend 10/10.

I could not have had a better experience at MOTI. I came in with a scary level of back pain, to the point where I was worried Id never feel like myself again. But Derek Nishikawa helped me manage that pain, change a ton of bad habits, and get strong enough to begin returning to my regular life. And he somehow managed to make the whole process, as daunting as it was, enjoyable. The entire MOTI team contributed to my incredible experience as well. To a person, they were the kindest, smartest, most encouraging group. Ill never forget my experience there. And so I cant recommend working with them highly enough.

This combined with their ability to listen and intertwine the therapy with my lifestyle ultimately lead to an effective at-home routine and a better understanding of what my body needs to function at its best.

I went to MOTI during my second and third trimester of pregnancy for pelvic floor therapy. My doctor recommended it as a preventative measure for common pregnancy related symptoms like lower back pain. I recently gave birth and I believe it is because of these sessions and the exercises I learned in them (I got a customized recap of my exercised emailed to me after the initial session which was updated periodically) that I did not have any back pain AND that I had a quick (10 minute!) delivery. I worked with Dr. Lee specifically and I cannot recommend her enough.

The facility itself is decent despite exuding corporate vibes with a long counter populated by receptionists on headsets right when you walk in. The front desk staff was always cold and reluctantly helpful when forced to interact with me. The handful of PT staff I worked with were pretty good except for one particular therapist named Kirk who was unwelcoming and condescending. He ruined this place for me. When I bristled at his toxic behavior he tried to gaslight me by saying it was just “tough love.” This place also has a $75 cancellation fee with less than 24 hours notice which is a bit steep if you ask me. One time I had to cancel the day before, I called their front desk with 22 hours notice, and they still charged me. Too bad this place is ruined by a bad apple and a terrible cancellation policy.

I did a few months of physical therapy at MOTI for my shoulder, which had limited range of motion and a lot of pain when I started. When I was done, the pain had subsided completely and my range of motion was *drastically* increased, as well as my strength. And honestly, coming to MOTI was always the highlight of my day. Christiana and Gabby were wonderful at the front desk, and every single therapist I worked with was SOOO sweet and smart and helpful. From brilliant Dr. Ann DeGrey to the terrific Lei and Nickon and Charles and Victor and Erik, every single therapist was great at their jobs, and had real positive energy too. As far as COVID, the environment was always incredibly clean and their mask-and-glove protocol made it completely safe. I could not give a higher recommendation to MOTI. (Almost wish my shoulder didnt heal so I could keep going!)

I went with my wife to see Dr. Kirk Ramirez today for her first physical therapy evaluation & treatment after her full knee replacement two weeks ago. We were referred by a friend who is getting work there for her pelvis after her cancer surgery.I’ve been to three other physical therapy places for my very significant bilateral shoulder tears and was so impressed with Dr. Ramirez’ assessment & work for my wife that I signed up for treatment for myself today.I just came back from my evaluation & first treatment and was so impressed that I signed up for physical therapy twice a week for the next six weeks with him.Once my shoulders improve I will have him start physical therapy for my knee as well.Excellent doctor of physical therapy and fantastic, clean office with complimentary parking in their large parking lot. They are very conveniently located 1/4 mile off the 110 freeway at Ave 60. Their staff is also very nice.You will be in great hands with Dr. Kirk Ramirez and his fantastic clinic.Cheers!DocMikeChiro

Cant stress enough how great my first ever experience with PT was with Dr. Derek and Moti. I spent my entire life naively disbelieving in the benefits of PT and erroneously thinking it was only for people who suffered something grave like a stroke, car accident or other bone-breaking injury. Though I initially came in for minor, but significant enough, pain related to dancing, Dr. Derek helped to correctly identify the cause of this repeat pain. We worked on strengthening and correcting this issue. What I appreciate most is the candidness and the fact that unlike say a mechanic or autobody shop, they didnt try to upsell you and claim a million other issues were present with your physical health. I was able to target precisely my problem area and not spend months of time and money on it. They were honest about being ready to be discharged and I really do see an improvement in the area (and also no more pain).

Kirk and his staff are amazing over at MOTI. I couldnt have asked for a better experience for my rehab from a torn rotator cuff. To make matters even more complicated, I tore it right in the middle of the pandemic. Their amazing staff made all arrangements for a sanitary and safe rehab experience. I 100% thought I would need surgery and was just going through the Insurance motions to get to the surgery. Im happy to say that because of Kirks rehab techniques and years of experience, I am no longer considering surgery and my shoulder feels great. Dont hesitate to come here for your rehab.

I came to MOTI Physiotherapy after a bad fall that hurt my right knee. I saw Nico at the Highland Park location and not only did he help me instantly relieve soreness through scraping/Theragun techniques to relieve the surrounding muscles, but he taught me strengthening exercises to eliminate my habit of putting pressure on my knee joints. Ive noticed a tremendous difference after 6 sessions and feel I have a long-term plan in place through the daily exercises Nico taught me! Nico is obviously extremely knowledgable in his field, and hes fun to chat with also! While Ill miss working with him and the MOTI team, Im so grateful for the success they have set me up for!

MOTI is the greatest. I literally hobbled in there, barely able to walk because of sciatic nerve pain I didnt even know was sciatic nerve pain, and walked out about ten appointments later in even better shape than before I was injured.Kirk and his team are brilliant physical therapists, but the front desk staff deserves plaudits as well. Always accommodating, welcoming, and kind. And they seamlessly dealt with all the usually painstaking insurance and billing stuff.I didnt know it was possible to be passionate about a rehab center but here I am. Thanks Moti.

I went to Moti Physiotherapy in Highland Park for about a month (I wish it was more but my health insurance made it difficult) but it was such a fun, nurturing, and insightful experience! I’ve been to many physical therapists over the years and this was by far the best! I worked with Lei and she was so fun and really made me feel taken care of and secure in my treatment!The space itself is amazing. Well maintained, clean, and there is so much you can work with and lots of space! Also plenty of parking!

Derek was amazing and I highly recommend him for anyone seeking an expert physical therapist. I threw out my back ice skating and found myself barley able to walk. Derek quickly diagnosed my situation and pinpointed the muscles that were the source of the problem. He then helped me to quickly heal and build strength and flexibility to avoid future issues.

Everyone at MOTI is so amazing. I went to see Dr. Lei Lee and she really helped me with my hip pain after years of sports injuries. Not only did she help with the injury, but she showed me how to stretch and strengthen my body for rock climbing. After two months of seeing Lei 2x a week and following a daily regimen of stretches, I was able to have more flexibility in my knees and hips. I highly recommend going to MOTI!

MOTI Physiotherapy is outstanding. Hands down Dr. Lei Lee is amazing. Dr. Lei Lee worked diligently to help me see the bigger picture of my Achilles injury which helped me take ownership in my recovery in more meaningful way. She gave me insight and tools to continue exercising safety. I learned how to ask for options and alternatives so I would not give up if I was having an off day here or there. They are patient and provide variety to keep your interest. It is an empowering process. For a time with my treatment she was lending to her expertise to a fabulous intern from USC (shout out to Summer). It has been a few months and there really is not a day that goes by in my physical efforts - yoga, walking, hiking, sitting at my desk - that I do not think of how grateful I was sent to MOTI by my ortho. Highly recommend them.

I had the awesome chance to work with Mia and Lei, amazing PTs at MOTI. Mia had incredible strength and great ideas for healing. She left on maternity leave and I was partnered with Lei. Lei is tremendous at precision and has excellent knowledge of exercises that led to me getting back to working out! I would, for sure, recommend both PTs at MOTI.

I worked with Dr. Derek Nishikawa at the Highland Park location. He and his team worked with me to recover after a knee and wrist injury.According to my ortho doctor, my recovery was faster than average. She was impressed that I was able to return to many activities quicker than she expected.I felt that I was able to not only heal but also strengthen weaker surrounding muscles and use them to support my knee and wrist.It was hard work but I felt encouraged and it really paid off.Many thanks to Derek and the whole group in Highland Park.

Staff is great, the facility is clean and welcoming. Dr. Kirk Ramirez helped me recover from a knee injury and over the course of six weeks I went from experiencing intense pain to none at all. The therapy can be intensive, but the care is oriented to each individual and the therapists are patient and attentive. Had a great experience.

If you are looking for Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy, Nancy Wong is exceptional. As a former D1 athlete I’ve worked with my fair share of PTs, and Nancy is by far the best master of their craft that I’ve ever worked with.Nancy is professional, warm, and knowledgeable, and if I could I would refer every postpartum birthing person to Nancy. She helped me heal and strengthen my pelvic floor and recti diastasis after baby #1, and continue strengthening when I got pregnant with baby #2. I am so thankful to Nancy and consider her an integral part of my recovery and birthing journey.

The facility has top-of-the-line equipment and is always well-kept. The staff, from the front desk to the PT aides, is warm and friendly. And the PTs are highly-trained pros who know what theyre doing. If youre in need of a good PT clinic to help you get healthy again, this is the place to go.

Ive been going to MOTI PT for almost 8 months under the care of Dr. Ann ( the amazing).In the front desk Gabbi and Christina always smiling, super friendly and helpful with scheduling and insurance stuff.Dr. Ann has the best attitude . She is always tailoring the sessions to my needs and condition. She is caring, attentive and super knowledgeable. I honestly can say that I would get discouraged without her constant vibrant positivism.When Dr. Ann is unavailable ( yes! that happens), I get to work with Dr. Nickon. He has become an amazing complement to my therapy. He is super motivating yet attentive to my abilities. He works along side Dr. Ann to provide me with unparalleled treatment plan.Shout-out to Charles the PT aid who is always around willing to assist.I had experience with PT practices in the past and I can say with confidence that the people at MOTI making it, by far, the best PT clinic around.

I highly recommend MOTI Physiotherapy. Kirk, Megan, and Nick, have helped me return to playing rugby after two knee surgeries and a back injury. All three are knowledgeable and effective PTs and Im sure the other PTs that I have not worked with are as well.The facility was always really clean had all of the equipment Id ever needed. I was a big fan of the Normatec compression/ice machine for recovery after a tough session.The rest of the support staff are also great, particularly with scheduling and dealing with insurance things.Overall Ive never had anything but a pleasant experience with MOTI and Ive spent plenty of time there. Give them a shot, they will exceed your expectations.

Thank you to the team at MOTI Physiotherapy! Special thanks to Dr. Ann DeGrey for taking me in. I was suffering from major lower back pain that would shoot down my leg, and her and her team at MOTI have helped me get back to lifting weights and walking around pain free. I stuck to her exercise plans and did the work at home, and it has made a huge difference in some of my weightlifting forms. She’s also helped me identify my weaknesses so that I can work on them at my gym and at home. Thanks Ann and the team at MOTI for helping me get back to living a normal pain free life!

Moti saved me! I couldn’t speak more highly of Anne DeGrey and everyone at Moti! After having spinal fusion surgery and coming in with a collapsed trap muscle Anne brought my body back to life! She was able to rebuild the muscle and help with my mobility in my neck while helping relieve the pain and stiffness that was there post surgery. All of the PT assistants were awesome. Erik, Charles and Carlos were awesome and kept me motivated though all the strengthening work I did. All of the receptionists were always so kind a helpful. Love moti!

Moti and Ann are great! Honestly, all the staff there have been wonderful to work with. I had a neck surgery in October and started having nerve pain a few weeks after, but before I started physical therapy. I felt pretty hopeless but Ann and the staff at Moti really turned that around. I am now pain free for the first time in over a YEAR.Great people, great facility and great results.

MOTI is by far the most professional and advanced physical therapy, or training center, Ive ever seen. The staff there is top of class, in every aspect. When I started, I was unable to move my arm because of a shoulder injury and I wanted to be able to throw a baseball again. After a few months of work with the team there, Ann DeGray being my primary therapist, I am now able to throw again. Their plan worked flawlessly and I never experienced pain or felt over worked during my time there. Ive come such a long way and I owe it all to the MOTI team in Highland Park. Wish I could continue going from now on!!

Kirk Ramirez is a fantastic physical therapist! The work he has done with me has had an extraordinary impact not just on the area of injury, but also on several other physical issues that I didnt even realize were related to my injury. Best of all, Kirk has been very helpful in directing my recovery in ways that build my overall strength, and thats been a great side benefit of PT.

I can’t speak more highly of my experience at MOTI Highland Park. Everything from the exemplary, kind and loving MOTI family at the front desk, to the knowledgeable, patient and effective therapists. My physical therapist is Ann, over the course of the past year, I’ve had the pleasure of working, growing and realizing the importance of structural health with her and her team. Knowledge is the root of power and Ann is the epitome of a capital D Doctor, with pristine efficacy and magnanimity. She transfers her understanding and knowledge of how to heal and strengthen your body with grace, yet positively challenges your conceptual limits of how much you can push yourself. Nick, the owner of MOTI is simply awesome. A pro in the Physical Therapy arena, both in practice and proprietorship.As you can see above, I can’t recommend the MOTI Highland Park team highly enough.If you are in pain; pre-op; post-op, etc, please, please do yourself a favor and book a consultation. Watch your life change.

Last summer I tore my meniscus. I wasnt sure if Id ever be able to run again. But just this past week I finished my first 20-mile week since my October surgery. The week was filled with runs up and down mountains, including a long run of eight miles. Im beyond thrilled with the progress Ive made.I fully credit MOTI Physiotherapy for getting me back to the sport I love. I worked primarily with Dr. Ann DeGrey, who is smart, kind, and exceptionally talented. The last two months of PT were done via telehealth and I encountered zero setbacks as MOTI transitioned to the online realm. Dr. Degrey monitored my progress on a weekly basis and put together excellent, challenging workouts for me to do at home with the equipment I had. Thank you, Dr. Degrey. Youre one of a kind and Im so grateful to you and your clinic for all the help youve given me.

Part of recovering from an injury or dealing with a physical issue is the emotional and psychological aspects of physical therapy. Ann DeGrey and the team at MOTI not only have the physical side down - the knowledge and talent to design individual regimens and exercises to help deal with physical issues - theres also a deep understanding of the emotional, personal aspects of recovery. The mood is always positive, the attention is meaningful and not rote, and the result is an awesome experience. ideally I would never need physical therapy again, but thats unlikely. and when I do, Ann at MOTI is the only place Im going.

I have been to a few physical therapy offices over the last 10 years and Moti is by far the BEST. I broke my knee in April and after several months of healing I needed PT. I chose Moti because of their reviews and I was not disappointed. Due to COVID I started working with Dr. Ann DeGrey via Telehealth. It worked fine however I felt my progress would be faster if I received treatment in person. My decision was the right one. When you first walk in you are greeted by two great ladies, Christiana and Gabby. They then walk you through their strict protocols to say safe. The facility is large enough where you can keep your distance from other patients. Dr. Ann put together a great recovery plan for my in person visits along with a plan for at home exercises. In addition to working with Dr. Ann I also had the pleasure of working with Lei who was an intern. Both were personable, professional and made you feel very special. I went from barely able to walk to back to working out an hour a day 5 days a week. MOTI, Dr. Ann and Lei are the BEST!

I saw Nancy for a few months last year. I enjoyed my time with her as she was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I was very comfortable with her and saw improvement with my symptoms. I would highly recommend her!I was fortunate enough to visit both locations, Highland Park and Los Feliz. The PT aides, Hannah, Candice, and Ciara, we’re all a delight to also work with. I was actually pretty sad when I was discharged because it was nice to have such great people in my routine.

Dr. Ann DeGrey truly changed my life!Upon initial arrival I had limited range of motion in my shoulder and pain when walking. It was so bad I would reach for something in the back of my car and my shoulder would come out of socket. After months of physical therapy I can move freely and now have the confidence to lift items I would not dare to in the past.Moving forward, I am now equipped with the tools to help myself. Now when I start to feel pain - I have the ability to do the correct exercises to help my condition through Moti’s custom app which has videos and exercises made just for me.Dr. Ann DeGrey and her team of superstars have alleviated my pain and in the process truly made me feel at home during my time spent there.

After severely straining my calf muscle, I worked with Daniel and the rest of his staff members to rehab it properly. They put me through a series of exercises each meeting that varied between different muscle groups. Daniel was attentive to me and payed great attention to the pains I was dealing with and how I was progressing. For me, this didnt feel like rehab at all. It felt like I was going to workout with a bunch of my friends. Strongly recommend Daniel and the rest of the staff here at MOTI!

Derek Nishikawa at Moti in Highland Park treated me post total knee replacement surgery for the last couple of months, and I can not praise him highly enough.Not only is he supercompetent in terms of physical therapy, but he also is very good at identifying mental or psychological difficulties in patients. I cannot speak for others, but with me he understood my problems even before I understood them (and I am a well-educated person with deep interests about many things, especially in the psychological arena, so it is not easy to impress me!). He then was able to address my issues gently but firmly and with patience and persistence until he got me over the hump and to the next stage of functionality.He possesses rare insight, even rarer capacity for empathy, along with excellent intellectual skills and ongoing curiosity. He knows when to push and when to be more lenient, he always has a sense of humor, he knows when to tell me what to do and when to listen. And when he listens, he REALLY listens and then applies that knowledge to updated or modified practices to MY benefit, not to his!I am not the easy praiser, in fact I mostly find fault. So my praise for Derek is worth at least double in my mind, as it is so rare. HE is rare, and a keeper!The facility in general is perfect, clean, functional, efficient. The front office girls are very affable and competent, they always try to help you out if you are in a jiffy with rescheduling, or if you are late. NO ONE has any airs, everyone keeps an eye out for patients in difficulty, even if they are not their patient. The atmosphere is as if you went to visit family friends, but without the family baggage. So easy, fun, good, but also substantive. I was sad when i finished my physiotherapy cycle.Good going, Moti!

I love MOTI! Clean, plenty of space, and plenty of parking. Therapists are engaged and always up to date on the newest research and technology. Front desk staff is friendly. PT “homework” is sent online which includes GIFs or videos of the exercises you’re supposed to do.When everything went crazy during the COVID pandemic, MOTI was up and running doing Telehealth appointments within, like, a week! It’s obviously not the same as seeing a therapist in person but it has been nice to prevent back sliding in my recovery.

Im there to see Dr. Ann DeGrey for post-knee surgery rehab, but also saw Dr. Josh Arrelano as well initially. The PTs are great and are focused on more than just getting back to basic function. They take the time and effort to understand what it was that you did prior to the injury and put together a gameplan to get you back to your prior form. The facility itself is spacious, and the equipment is all clean (and basically new). The PT aides are great too - very personable and personal when it comes to your experience going through the exercises. Highly recommend!Update: finished PT - knee is doing great! Will need to do some stuff on my own as well, but Dr. DeGrey and her team were really thorough and put me through a variety of exercises over the past few months that tested my knee to make sure it is stable enough to return to sport (though there isnt much right now with COVID restrictions and whatnot). Cant recommend Dr. DeGrey or Moti enough for anything that you need a physical therapist for!

MOTI and especially Ann Nguyen have been incredibly helpful in keeping me active, moving and hiking despite a plethora of sports injuries. I highly recommend the facility and Ann in particular. My body is a minefield of injuries and Ann is wonderfully skilled at working through all that with keen intelligence, skill, experience, kindness and humor. Thats why I wont see anyone else and neither should you.Nickon Sharifabadi has been a wonderful addition to the team. He monitors my exercises, keeping a terrifically sharp eye on HOW Im doing what Im doing, providing tips and reminders, without being intrusive. Hes respectful, but knows exactly what hes doing and makes sure I avoid the bad exercise habits that got me injured in the first place. Nickon manages that perfect blend between pushing just a bit but knowing when to back off as I get tired. I wish I could have him monitor my exercise routine always. Id be healthier and safer for it.

Kap & the whole MOTI team were great. I came in with back pain and hips that didnt move too well, I left 6 weeks later with little to no pain in my low back & hips that move within a healthy range.

Couldn’t be happier to have MOTI in highland park. Nick is an amazing therapist and the facilities are absolutely amazing. The aids are all knowledgeable and the front desk is beyond helpful. So grateful to have found this place!

This place is terrible. Ive been going here 2-3x week for close to a year (self pay––thousands of dollars) for my back, hip, and knee injury and not only has there been no improvement but I have never received any clarification on what the diagnosis or treatment plan is. They always tell me Ill receive an email with home exercises that same day but Ill not hear back from them for weeks; when I call to check in they will have forgotten about what injury I even have, let alone the home exercise plan they promised.Also their billing dept is sketchy––I called in to cancel an appt after Covid exposure well within their cancellation policy and somehow still got charged $75. When I called to inquire about this, they said they lost the voicemail I left.I concur with the previous review that this is more a gym than a health center. Its not even that great of a gym. Save your money and trouble and go somewhere else.

Dr. Kirk at Motis is by far, hands down, the best PT I have ever had. Actually, I was losing hope that PT could ever help. But the PTs and staff at MotIs especially Kirk changed that experience. I saw great improvements with compliance and consistency. I highly recommend Dr. Kirk and MotI

Dr Lei Lee and the staff at MOTI were great helping me recover from a herniated disc. This is an excellent place to get good recovery and I highly recommend it to anyone who needs help for a speedy recovery.

Moti is an amazing place. They have been so helpful in continuing my PT in the time of Covid. I had been on my road to recovery when they had to close due to the stay at home order. They seamlessly switched to telehealth and I was able to continue on my path with weekly virtual appointments. It has been extremely helpful to be able to continue healing without a break in exercises. Anne is wonderful and couldn’t have been more helpful. Thanks you for being there for me! I look forward to continuing the process when you open again soon. Until then, I’ll see you on the computer!

This place has only ever left me smiling. It is an undeniably welcoming environment. Kirk is a true listener who takes the time to understand. His persistence does not end until you feel an improvement. You really cant go wrong with any of these PTs. I have worked with several at both this location and Loz Feliz and they are all equally so intentional. I could not recommend this place more!
