Movement Driven Performance Physiotherapy

Fantastic experience: My primary health provider recommended I see Movement Driven to work on/strengthen my ankle, which I kept rolling while running. After completing straightforward paperwork online, I could make an appointment very quickly. During my first appointment, Dr. Goldberger promptly determined what muscles were underdeveloped and what muscles were overcompensating, which led me to roll my ankle while running. He demonstrated what exercises and stretches I needed to add to my routine to prevent further injury. Seven months later, I have been running without any issues with my ankle. I have continued going to Movement Driven to work on other muscle groups to exercise more efficiently. I recently discovered that I have not been doing pushups and planks properly (or least not as correctly as I should), preventing me from increasing my max. The staff has helped me break down this "simple" movement and retrain my body to do a pushup and plank engaging all the muscles I should and not relying on ones I should not. The staff is very professional but not intimidating. I always feel relaxed and listened to when I have a session. It is clear they have a game plan when you go in for a certain injury, but they quickly adapt the game plan to match your comfort and skill level if needed. The gym is well-maintained and has all of the equipment you could ever need for physical therapy. 5 out of 5 stars. Could not recommend more.

Fantastic experience: My right knee has been swollen for over three years now. Arthritis and a torn meniscus have wreaked havoc on my mental and physical state making me feel like there was no hope of getting beyond this state. Every time I would squat, deadlift or do anything else that was supposed to strengthen the injured area the knee would swell and I’d be out of commission. It felt kind of hopeless, to be honest. A few months ago I went to Movement Drive Performance Physiotherapy and they have moved me way beyond what I thought possible. I can deadlift again, I can squat again and I have renewed hope that I can do what I love most - train hard! I can’t recommend them more highly. The best in the business!

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Dr. Greg to relieve pain and discomfort stemming from a previous ACL/meniscus surgery that caused a ruptured baker’s cyst in the same knee. He quickly identified the underlying issues and has helped me improve my strength and joint health through tough physical and manual therapies, and dry needling. He takes the time to educate on preventative measures and provides a library of exercise resources. As a strength athlete it is so important to protect my joints and ligaments and ensure I am properly recruiting muscles. With Movement Driven I have seen lasting results that keep me lifting. Make no mistake, Greg will make you work hard but the results are worth it!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough amazing things! I started seeing Dr. Greg for a long term (20 years!), ongoing injury with my lower back and IT band. The past 2 years I have been with a strength training gym and trying to do any form of squat or deadlift would cause a lot of pain in these areas. After only a few months working with Dr. Greg, I have been able to squat and deadlift heavier with NO pain. I was able to compete in my first powerlifting competition, hitting personal records on all my lifts with NO pain. I have plenty of other long term injuries to work on with Dr. Greg but am looking forward to seeing the results and one day being completely pain free!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Greg is much more than a physical therapist. First, it's not everyday you run across a PhD in physical therapy. He's more of a movement specialist. He has a deep understanding of the human body and what it can do to heal itself. He's also a mystery solver and a detective. He helped me work through some chronic pain issues that were hard to solve. On top of it all, he's a genuinely good guy.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Greg was incredibly helpful and patient with my slow progress. He actively listened to my symptoms and particular movements that I felt impacted my recovery. We worked on several issues with therapy exercise while incorporating some treatment modalities during office visits. I have had a reduction in pain and improved mobility. I would recommend Dr. Greg without reservation.

Fantastic experience: Movement Driven has been very helpful for my growth as an athlete. They pay close attention to what might be in pain and what can be improved upon and by providing specific exercises to strengthen and improve those areas. They have been very helpful for my performance on the golf course.

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with Movement Driven who completely changed my perspective on the value of proper diagnosis and treatment. I had been experiencing pain between my shoulder blade and spine which I injured one day during an upper body strength training session at the gym. After it didn't get better for several days I went to see an orthopedist. They diagnosed it as a muscle strain and their solution was to give me injections. They also suggested I get an MRI. Following that appt I had no relief whatsoever and quickly become frustrated with a lack of answers or direction. I also had tingling and numbness going down my arm which led to some anxiety about what was truly going on as well. After speaking with the trainers at my gym, they recommended I go see Movement Driven to find a solution. Right off the bat, my therapist explained that this combination of symptoms is likely rooted in my neck and not a muscle strain at all. That first treatment consisted a thorough examination (way more thorough than the orthopedist) along with deep tissue massage and exercises to help me start feeling better right away. Within the next few weeks I steadily progressed and returned to the gym with guidance from my therapist. Now I'm back feeling better than ever and lifting more than I ever could before my injury too! I loved my experience so much I now continue to visit Movment Driven monthly to progress by ability to perform at the gym and reduce my risk of injury. I cannot recommend them enough! Go see them!

Fantastic experience: Movement Driven is your go to place for aches, pains, and injuries. Dr. Greg goes above and beyond for his clients. After months of seeing a physical therapist through another facility I still found myself limited in activity and mobility. I decided to try Movement Driven after seeing positive reviews. Those reviews were spot on. I left my first session feeling more confident and strong! Every exercise was thoroughly explained, the pains that I had were given direct attention, and it seemed that every 'problem' finally had a solution. Even after several sessions with Dr. Greg he is still working to ensure that I am living a pain free life. It is so reassuring to finally have found someone that you feel is in your corner.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Greg Goldberger knows his stuff! I came to Movement Driven Performance for knee pain and left not only feeling 100% better but he also managed to help me with shoulder pain I had been living with for 8yrs! He not only focuses on treating your current pain but he also educates you on how to prevent it in the future. Believe me when I say Dr. Greg isn't your average PT. He is passionate about his work and makes sure you are making strides toward your recovery. He makes you fully engage and sweat at every appointment! Who knew you were supposed to sweat at a PT session??? I can't say enough about the care you will receive at Movement Driven Performance. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Movement Driven Performance! Dr. Greg Goldberger is fantastic. He did a full analysis of the way my body moves to help understand what has been fueling the pain in my hip/leg. His focus went beyond helping the pain, it was about preventing future pain. I learned so much about how the body should move, which muscles should be activating, and how to move in a way that is more natural and easy on my joints. Every visit is spent re-analyzing what's working and what's not, and re-focusing my strength training so that it I'm maximizing my efforts. Overall, it's been extremely helpful and educational!

Fantastic experience: After having major back surgery last May 25, 2021, I had various physical therapist treat me. All were good at their craft, but when Greg Goldberger arrived on the scene, he was very hands on and explained, in layman's terms, exactly what he was doing and why. Over a period of many months, he treated me with massage and instructed me in the various exercises that I needed to do religiously. He is very professional and caring and I always felt that he took a sincere interest in my journey toward wellness. There is no magic wand. The patient has to follow the routine if they want to improve. If I hadn’t had Greg’s support, I doubt I’d be where I am today. Recovery is a journey and I’m so grateful I took mine with Greg. Most sincerely, Sandy Archer

Fantastic experience: I started off with Movement Driven going over some stretches that I could not do before. I had tight hips in which prohibited me from doing a lot of stuff. They gave me several stretches that helped me improve my hips mobility. My experience with them was amazing. Always there for me & now I’m better for it. I would definitely recommend anyone who not just have tight hips, but for physical therapy & advice on the types of stretches that can help you in your everyday life.

Fantastic experience: I came into Movement Driven with a pretty long running issue of Achilles tendinitis and a noticeable weakness in the area. Due to having this issue for a while I was skeptical to visit another professional because I had already seen several and felt I could mostly resolve the issue with my own knowledge. However, I’m happy to have visited Movement Driven as they provided a desirable experience. They were really good at identifying minute issues and putting together a more complete and dynamic program for me to follow. The staff was knowledgeable and motivating making this one of the best physical therapy environments I’ve been in. I recommend Movement Driven to anyone who wants to really understand what they are doing and how it helps them.

Fantastic experience: I’ve never been the most athletic and I do regularly done exercise to stay heart healthy. I am a mom and a teacher so staying active is a must. When I had a bad fall and tore my ACL, MCL, meniscus, strained my peroneal nerve and basically shattered my knee, I never thought I’d have a success story to tell, but here I am, and I owe It all to Greg. Upon falling, my knee was so swollen that I couldn’t have surgery right away. My Orthopedic Surgeon suggested I start with a bit of physical therapy, to help alleviate some of the swelling and pain through deep tissue massage, cupping and electric stimulation guided exercise. Within a few weeks, Greg had me doing not only the things my surgeon prescribed, but strengthening exercises that I thought I’d never be able to do without being in pain. And I didn't even have my surgery yet! I would leave the clinic feeling such incredible relief in my knee every single time… …With the set back of Covid limiting elective surgeries being performed, I was unable to have surgery for six months. I was in Greg’s trusting hands the six months leading up to surgery, and right back the very next day after surgery. Within a few months of hard work on both of our parts, my knee was starting to feel really good. I couldn’t believe all the progress we had made. Greg’s knowledge, his ability to build relationships with people and his personable demeanor help make these situations all the more pleasant. On days when I felt depleted and defeated, he was always in my corner supporting me and making sure I knew that I could do this. I hope I never have to go through anything like that fall again, however, there’s no one I would ever trust, the way I trusted Greg. Here I am two years later doing exercises I never thought I’d do again and feeling like I gained a forever family!”

Fantastic experience: When I met Greg, I had gone through two failed surgeries, multiple epidural injections, and too many doctor visits to count! I was desperate for chronic pain relief in my lower back and neck. After working with Greg a couple sessions, I started to get the relief I was desperately seeking. Greg is caring, compassionate and dedicated to treating each patient back to health. I am forever indebted to him for my improved quality of life.

Fantastic experience: Great experience with Dr. Greg and the team at Movement Driven Physiotherapy. We took my son who plays highly competitive baseball there for lower back pain. Within just a few sessions, the problem was almost completely resolved and we continued biweekly visits for strengthening and agility work. We really appreciated that Dr. Greg works one on one with every patient and provides the highest level of care and attention- much more than you’d find at a traditional physical therapy office where several patients are treated at one time. I would highly recommend Movement Driven Physiotherapy for high-level competitive athletes and anyone else looking for more individualized care.

Fantastic experience: Greg has been a fantastic therapist for my teenage son! He really helps him understand why he’s doing the exercises and how it will help his golf game. His attention to detail and one on one training is exactly what we needed! I love that he sends us videos on how each exercise should be broken down to make sure it is done properly for our home workouts. Highly recommend Dr. Greg!!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Greg is a trusted partner of our fitness community. He takes what most PTs understand and takes it to the next level. He has an incredible depth of knowledge and understanding of pain. He has helped several of our clients improve or eliminate their knee, hip, low back, or shoulder pain and discomfort when they thought they might live with these conditions forever. Dr. Greg is genuine and thoughtful. I encourage you to take action now and book a consultation. Don’t waste another day living in pain. Dr. Greg can help you raise the quality of your life.

Fantastic experience: Greg was able to rehab me after my total knee replacement. Following surgery and rehab I have never felt better. His knowledge and caring attitude helped me through my recovery and this Grandma thanks him for being able to get me back to chasing my grandchildren again.

Fantastic experience: The Movement Driven Team was recommended to us when my son had pain in his elbow from pitching during a baseball game. The team was very responsive and spent a lot of time ensuring that we not only treated the current injury but educated my son on how to prevent it in the future. The recommended exercises were easy to follow at home, and they even sent videos so that we could confirm that we were doing them correctly. The Movement Driven team was excellent on follow-up and showed genuine concern in ensuring my son was healthy and building strength for future growth and performance. I highly recommend them to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Movement Driven, Greg, helped me immensely! When I started with Movement Driven I had difficulty walking long distance with my lower back and right hip. Movement Driven showed me hands on exercises that helped me. He also email me videos of the exercises to do at home. I now can walk without pain. He explained to me how important it is to continue with my exercise to keep my core and muscles strong. I have been in physical therapy before, but never had this outstanding care before. I highly recommend Movement Driven!!!

Fantastic experience: About 2 months ago I pulled my back doing tire flips. First day was extremely painful and each day for the next few days it got just a little better. I thought for sure after about 1-2. Weeks I would be fully recovered. Sadly that wasn’t the case. My pain lasted well over a month. It affected my mood very much and I quit going to the gym for that time. Finally went in to see Movement Driven(who happens to have an office in our gym) after one session he taught me three simple exercises I could do to help. Guys, within one week my back pain was almost 100% gone and by Wk 2 my back was back to normal. I can now do squats, deadlifts and workout as the happy person I normally lol. I am extremely grateful for his guidance. Go see him if you have any pains from injury. I did not think it would help that fast. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Fantastic experience: Greg was vital in getting me back to full strength and being able to throw. Also provides some great tips and tricks to help you down the line. Always a great contact to have and responds promptly if you have any issues! Have recommended him to many people and will continue to recommend him to anyone that needs a great PT!

Fantastic experience: Very pleased to recommend Movement Driven Physiotherapy not only for your PT needs but also for enhancing your game , whatever that may be. I originally found them for post op therapy for my rotator cuff repair. Therapy was fun and I couldn't wait for my next session.....nah that's a lie . If you are enjoying your shoulder rehab then you're doing it wrong and when all is said and done, you won't have full range of motion and strength as I now do. When my surgeon saw how far I had progressed in my follow up visit, he was eyes-wide-open visibly impressed. I give all the credit to the Movement Team who didn't let me slack and pushed me to get back to where I needed to be. However , they wouldn't let me over do it and knew when to stop me for the day. I needed that because I have a tough guy attitude and beat up used car body. During my sessions I also learned that I was using bad form on some of gym workout movements that I'd been doing for years. I am now in the process of modifying my workouts to be more wholistic and less ballistic. So at the end of the day I picked up better movement patterns, new exercises, and a fully repaired shoulder. These guys are definitely my go to group from here on in .

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience with Movement Driven. The staff are very knowledgeable, professional and personable. With each exercise or treatment there is an explanation as to why you’re doing it which helped me contextualise my injury and helped me stick to doing my rehab. The process and attention to detail at Movement Driven is why I was able to get back to coaching pain free.

Fantastic experience: Movement Driven Performance Physiotherapy(MDPP) was referred to me by my son who is a Personal Trainer for a living. This is his goto when he needs tweaking. I have had left shoulder/neck issues all from sleeping the wrong way. After 2 months, the pain shifted all the way down to my left elbow. I had constant tingling as well from shoulder to my finger tips. I slept on my right side bc the pain on the left shoulder was too much. I also stopped doing my upper body weight exercises bc I didn't want to make it worse. So I made my appt for a consultation at MDPP on Dec 5th. The Physical Therapist (PT) took all my concerns and asked me questions. Had me on the table, tweaked my left shoulder, neck, left arm, and head. He took his time, explained every process of what he is doing, and very professional. I did not feel rushed at all. After, the PT demonstrated to me a set of exercises that I can do daily at home. Unfortunately for me, since I am on Social Security and it is not covered by insurance, I could not continue to go to MDPT. It has been 5 weeks since I went to MDPP. The home exercises that was shown to me had helped me tremendously. The pain on my left shoulder, neck, and left arm is completely gone. I can sleep on my left side like I used to. I am also back to doing my upper body weight lifting without any setbacks. There's still a little bit of tingling but not enough to bother me. I'm sure in due time it will go away completely. What impressed me with MDPP very much is that even though I did not become a client of theirs, the PT followed up on me to see how I was doing. Now that's impressive!!!

Fantastic experience: I came to Movement Driven for an acute hip injury that was impacting my ability to exercise and even do some basic daily activities. I was weary about choosing a PT practice and knew I needed a team that was a part of the fitness community. At my first session, I was confident I was in the right place and in good hands. After 3-4 sessions, the acute pain that had been a constant for 2 months was completely gone. I leave every session feeling stronger, less nervous about reinjury of my hip and more educated on how to prevent future injury. It is SUCH a relief to back in the gym pain free. I couldn’t recommend the Movement Driven practice more!

Fantastic experience: I made an appointment with Dr Greg after dealing with some pain in my knees. I will only work with physios like him who have experience working with athletes and weightlifters since I am a trainer myself. My visit with Greg was very thorough and informative. He took the time to ask questions about my routine and then we went through a series of movement tests to determine where the pain might be originating. After the session, he sent me several exercise videos for me to practice at home which I truly appreciated. Overall, a great experience and I highly recommend Greg for anyone who wants to feel better in their body during exercise or just their day to day.
