MOTI Physiotherapy

Negative experience: I’m going here for a therapy and the therapy is great, however the lack of grace for not calling ahead 24 hours early is insane. I woke up really sick on a Monday morning with an appointment hours away. I called them to let them know my situation and they couldn’t do anything for me. Then on a Thursday that same week, again I was planning on going, I slept almost 18 hours to miss my appointment. Even though I’ve been very sick this was certainly my fault, yes I could have set an alarm even though I didn’t foresee sleeping that long, but I take responsibility as such. But yet of course there wasn’t a later appointment open in the day for me to attend to save myself from the late fee, how convenient! In the end the point I’m making is it is so horrible that such a good place is robbing those who are legitimately sick, and are just doing their best to make the appointments. I haven’t even come close to missing a PT appointment at all this year at MOTI, and now that I miss two really due to illness, just really puts a bad taste in my mouth.

Fantastic experience: I've done my physical therapy at MOTI twice now, once for a knee injury and most recently for a neck and shoulder injury. I wouldn't trust my physical therapy to anyone else. I most recently worked with Allison at the Los Feliz location and her knowledge and professionalism are unmatched. I highly recommend this facility.

Negative experience: I’ve called the last 3 days and left a message through their website and still waiting for a call back.

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience working with the devoted and knowledgeable professionals at MOTI in Los Feliz. My PT, Isabella ("Bella") Raroque, PT, DPT was top-notch. She is a highly informed, even tempered, caring individual who was there for me as I progressed through the work program she customized for my hip issues. The assistants who worked with Bella were also excellent, great folk. Five stars!,

Fantastic experience: i spent almost an entire year getting treatment from Moti and in particular a woman named Bella. first for a knee replacement, then carpal tunnel surgery and finally a left shoulder replacement. Each and every treatment was specifically designed for that area affected and having spent many other years at other physical therapy facilities I had a lot of reference of past performance of theothers and hands down MOTI is the GREATEST PHYSICAL THERAPY I have ever experienced. I don't want to make this so glowing that there is no room for another!

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience with Bella Raroque at MOTI for 4 months. She and her colleagues were always on time for our sessions and they really took care of me. Bella’s exercises, advice and miracle hands have helped decrease the pain in my knee/leg. I will always remember her good professional care of me. I think everyone who works at MOTI is very caring and I highly recommend them. Thank you so much and God bless.

Fantastic experience: Very positive experience! Very professional and they do actually care about your improvement. In the past I had been to other P.T. places but the treatment felt cold and impersonal. Not the case at MOTI, my therapist Fei Zang treated me for TMJ and chronic pain in my back. Dr. Zang was warm and would ask important questions about my pain and my improvement. She was always receptive to my questions or comments on the exercises and she would adjust accordingly. I could tell she cared about my improvement and that was the right kind of motivation I needed to keep improving. Thanks to her I no longer live in pain. Thank you Dr. Zang! Thank you MOTI!

Fantastic experience: I had a really great experience at Moti. I really felt like my PT cared about helping me get pain free. Clean facility, a big parking lot and a helpful, kind staff.

Fantastic experience: A great overall experience. Dr. Rhoda was knowledgable, professional, and enjoyable to work with. We addressed the underlying issues of my pain and I feel back to 100%. The space in Los Feliz is clean, full of natural light, and great equipment. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Updating my review from a year ago because my back unfortunately had a relapse but I was lucky enough to work with Dr. Rhoda this time. Moti really does hire such incredible PTs because Dr. Rhoda was truly amazing. Her attention to detail re where my back was in pain was second to none and I always felt in such incredible care with her. She was patient, listened and always validated my experience with pain. Thank you SO much, Dr. Rhoda! I'm back on my feet again thanks to you! <3 ///Review from a year ago I'm hesitant to write this because I want to keep Dr. Keely Ahrold all to myself but she deserves endless praise for giving me my strength and health back. I just finished a year of PT for a pretty bad back injury where I was barely able to run (I'm a runner), let alone walk, sit or stand without significant pain. I started at Moti in Highland Park with Dr. Megan and Dr. Connor, both of whom were incredible. Then I moved closer to the Los Feliz location and Dr. Keely took over my treatment for the next eight months, usually 2x per week. Not only is Dr. Keely the coolest and funniest person ever, she is literally brilliant. There were times when I went in for an appointment, had absolutely no idea what was going on with my pain, where it came from or how and why it was affecting other parts of my body. Yet, she was able to quickly evaluate it and address it so thoroughly, while giving me all the necessary strengthening exercises. Dr. Keely changed my body, she changed my strength, and now I'm running more than I've ever run before and lifting more than I ever thought possible. Thank you thank you thank you Dr. Keely and the rest of the Moti family. I feel better and stronger than I've ever felt.

Fantastic experience: Great experience. Very easy to make/change appointments, the facility is immaculate and the staff is professional and friendly. Working with Dr. Raroque was a pleasure. She was always prepared, compassionate and scrupulous. The treatment improved my range of motion and allowed me to resume my regular activities. I hope I never need PT again, but if I do, I'll head straight to MOTI.

Fantastic experience: Thanks for getting me balanced, Fei!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to MOTI, working with Chyna, doing physical therapy for my knee for over 6 months. I could not be more pleased with the results. Chyna is friendly, professional, and an all-around amazing human being. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: MOTI is great. I came in with a couple of different issues, and working with Chyna over the course of several months, I was able to resolve all of them.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Moti for over a year and half now and the PTs and aides have done wonders for me. Dr. Traci and Dr. Chyna are amazing physical therapists. Not only did they help rehabilitate my injuries, but they helped me learn how to exercise more effectively. I feel great now and am so grateful for their expertise and care.

Fantastic experience: Thankfully I don't often need Physical Therapy, but when I do I always choose MOTI. I recently had foot surgery and Bella was amazing at guiding me through a plan for recovery.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend MOTI for physical therapy. Chyna Cotangco helped me with a neck and shoulder issue that was creating numbness in my forearm and hand. She addressed the problem from many angles, giving me exercises, stretching and even cupping to relieve the tightness and she's amazing. The front desk is very helpful in keeping up with appointments especially if you are waitlisted and were they were conscientious about contacting me. They also take insurance and there is ample parking. It's a very comfortable space and everyone is very helpful.

Negative experience: DO NOT GO HERE. WASTE OF TIME. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL EVERY STEP OF THE WAY FROM OWNER TO RECEPTIONIST. TERRIBLE. ZERO PATIENT CARE. I booked at a competitor that is far superior and everything there has been seamless.

Fantastic experience: I arrived at MOTI having developed constant pain and inflammation in my elbow and arm that prevented me from doing regular activities like lifting objects. Most importantly the injury kept me from swimming, which was my main form of exercise, for more than one or two laps before the sharp pain prevented me from going any further. Dr. Aimee Winston and the team at MOTI showed great care, attention, thoughtfulness, and patience with me, both during in-clinic sessions and by helping me improve my ergonomics at home. Even when I was frustrated by setbacks they helped me recover and keep my progress going. She would also email me suggestions and ideas to help my recovery outside of my sessions. By the time I finished, I was not only swimming pain-free like I used to without any restriction, but I completed my first ever long-distance open-water swim race and even won my division. Can't thank them enough!

Negative experience: Unfortunately, I decided to cancel my future appointments with MOTI after two sessions here. This place is very hard to book due to their limited resource and this place has a VERY strict cancellation policy. Do NOT come here if you are looking to get treated soon or if you have ongoing health issues and may need to cancel within the 24 hour window because they WILL CHARGE YOU $75. I chose this place because they are in-network with my insurance and closer to where I live. When I first called, they didn’t have any availability until 3 months out, which has set my expectations high for this place as they seemed to be super popular. I would rate it one star only but because the first session went well, I’m willing to give it 2 stars. I met a physical therapist and an intern student in my first session. They were friendly, listened to my injury journey, did the assessment and everything. After the session, the physical therapist told me she was going to switch to part-time starting next month so her availability will be limited. She suggested to put me with 2 therapists going forward. I was confused and disappointed to find out after waiting for 3 months. When it comes to physical therapy sessions, consistency is very important. I expect my therapist to understand my physical needs and have a solid plan for my recovery process. She did offer to switch me to a full-time therapist right away as an alternative but then the first session would become a waste of time. I expected the business to do a better job only introducing new patients to their staff that’s going to be available. They shouldn’t have put a patient in this awkward position. Today, I called at 8:30am to cancel my 5:30pm appointment and explained on the phone I wasn’t feeling well last night and thought I could sleep it off, but waking up, I felt worse and had to go to urgent care for a checkup. They straight up told me we have to charge you for a $75 late cancellation fee. I was very surprised to hear that they wouldn’t even consider waive it because it is common sense that sometimes health issues happen without 24 hour notice. I spoke to their director Tracy later on to try to explain again my health situation (not to mention how difficult it was to get in touch with her, called at least 3 times and couldn’t reach her) However, she told me unless there’s a big life event (such as a death in family), they are not going to waive the cancellation fee because I only called 8 hours ahead of time, not 24 hours. I mean, I get it, a business establishes a policy to maximize their profit but not understanding or showing any sympathy of your patients who have to deal with unforeseen health issues such as Covid/flu is just another level. I do not want to go to a place like this.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Fei for PT and pelvic floor therapy during my pregnancy and now postpartum. Fei is tremendously knowledgeable, so kind, and makes me feel so comfortable, especially with the more sensitive stuff. She addresses all my needs and listens intently. I truly believe working with her during my pregnancy helped my labor and postpartum recovery go smoothly. I’m so glad my OB recommended her!

Negative experience: I was interested in getting physical therapy here but Moti refused to tell me what my out-of-pocket costs would be despite providing them with my insurance plan.

Fantastic experience: Fei at MOTI is phenomenal. Patient, caring, and collaborative throughout the PT process. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: When I first saw Dr. Rhoda at Moti last year, I had very limited things I could do with my right arm due to an elbow injury. I couldn't shoot a basketball, do workout classes or even extend my arm all the way without feeling pain. It was even hard for me to do normal things around the house like putting laundry in the dryer without shooting pains. After a month or so of therapy with Dr. Rhoda, I didn't have shooting pain anymore, and I was able to start doing more exercises and movements with my arm. A year later after on and off sessions, I'm completely back to normal. I'm back to playing basketball and can do every exercise in my HIIT classes without any modifications. Dr. Rhoda was great to work with throughout this entire process. She was always quick to figure out what was going on, thoroughly explained to me what was happening in my arm and always gave me great exercises and stretches to follow up with. The entire staff is also great at Moti, from Dr. Rhoda to the front desk to all the trainers. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Moti is definitely the best Physical therapy clinic I've ever been to. I hope to not have anymore injuries, but if I do, I'd know I'll be in good hands at Moti.

Fantastic experience: The MOTI team are all pros, and my experience with Dr. Jen Nguyen was outstanding. She always makes the time to listen and tune her focus and the PT program to your needs -- adapting regularly to build on success and drive further progress or circle back where needed. She also brings such a good spirit to every session even as she needs to move from patient to patient quickly and smoothly. The supporting team at MOTI is all great, and I am grateful for all the progress in recovering from my MCL sprain + Meniscus tear without surgery. Thank you, Team MOTI!

Negative experience: 2021-22 Moti therapy was very effective , caring, with great therapists for one hour. The therapists were exceptional. Unfortunately, I had to go back for therapy again this year with new surgery. Therapists have changed. Cold and impersonal atmosphere, service time decreased to 45 minutes. To be honest, all these months, same basic few exercises that we all do at home. Very impersonal . Disappointed and quit.

Fantastic experience: I've successfully recovered from two soccer-related injuries (torn achilles and, later, a sports hernia) with the help of the lovely folks at MOTI Los Feliz. I joke with friends that MOTI is my happy place. It is truly a joy to go in and get healthy and strong with their staff. I've worked with Dr. Aimee Winston, Dr. Rhoda Bea Hernando, and Dr. Fei Zhang at the Los Feliz location and they are all fantastic PTs - deeply knowledgable, encouraging, and personable. The aides are also excellent and their front desk staff is maybe the best of any medical office I've visited. Can't recommend this place enough.

Fantastic experience: Nickon was great! I felt pain reduction immediately and have been able to find full recovery.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Lindsey Brunner for a few months now for physical therapy/personal training for some spine issues. She is excellent- knowledgable, patient, and kind. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need.

Fantastic experience: MOTI has been an awesome experience! I worked with both Dr. Ari Basquet and Dr. Derek Nishikawa at the Highland Park location for separate injuries, one from rock climbing/wrist/hand related, and the other for an ankle sprain. The doctors and aides here are respectful, professional, super attentive, supportive, and genuinely listen to their patients. They're really good about focusing on your goals (Why did you come to PT? How do you want to improve?), and help push you to get stronger. Not only do they focus on the injured area, but they also help you strengthen the surrounding muscles and look at any structural imbalances so that you have a better foundation to prevent future injury. I also learned a ton about the different tendons/muscles/and bones that work together at my joints. Visits are 1-2x per week for ~1 hour, you work with your doctor for 30 min and then do strengthening exercises with an aide for the remaining time. Most of the exercises they teach you use a resistance band or a single dumbbell and can usually be modified to do at home, even when you're done with the program. They work on doing small progressions over time, so it has been really cool to look back and see how strong I've become! One of the most beneficial takeaways of Moti is that the doctors really want you to come out of physical therapy with a better understanding of your body, how to prevent further injury, and what to do if you do become reinjured. Being able to recognize why and where you're hurting is a skill and is the first step to recovery!

Fantastic experience: this is the spot--wonderful facilities, trainers, and PTs. go here

Negative experience: I have yet to utilize their services-this is strictly on the fact that THEY NEVER ANSWER THE PHONE. What kind of viable business never answers phone calls? Completely unprofessional.

Fantastic experience: I've always had a fantastic experience here. Megan is a great therapist and trainer that I've worked with on 5 or 6 different occasions. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rhoda Hernando is an absolute gem. The difference in my condition after working with her was day and night. She helped me find an awareness of my whole body that I didn’t have before and she made me feel so comfortable and safe the entire time.

Fantastic experience: When I was prescribed physical therapy by my doctor I was thrilled to hopefully regain the strength, muscle and movement I had pre-pandemic. When MOTi was suggested I wasn't quite sure... believe it or not, not all PT places are created equal. In recent years I've been disappointed by the level of expertise by "experts" who really don't know how to improve your mobilty so you can go back to enjoying your life. MOTi is truly different. They are packed because they are good, but when you get in the system and they set you up with weekly visits you will see a difference. I'm lucky enough to need two body parts worked… And work they do. With care, knowledge and YOUR feedback they set up various regimens for you and with your consent email updates on a regular basis. I've been very blessed to work with Katie Lichty and Nickon Sharifabadi and everyone there has been top notch. Speaking of which, the three vixens at the check-in desk are absolutely fabulous. They do everything they can to make your visit nice and carefree along with handling scheduling conflicts or other issues that may come up. They are professional, gracious and welcoming. Oh and free parking is on site.

Positive experience: I went to Moti Highland Park for 2 sessions paying $150 for the first and $110 for the 2nd (100% out-of-pocket since Moti did not take my insurance). From the experience of the 2nd session, I decided to not continue therapy with Moti: 1. I arrived 5 mins after my appointment and waited another 5 minutes before I saw my therapist. 2. He seemed rushed and after a brief time sitting on the exam table, we performed some exercises, then he passed me on to a junior guy who did 2 more exercises with me. We finished 15 mins early and the junior guy wasn't able to get a hold of the therapist to see if there were stretches we could do, or anything else. 3. So I had a 35 minute session and paid for a full hour. This was to help with recovery of a torn hamstring. I've previously torn my ACL and have had ~2 years working with various PTs and this was a below average experience. 1. There was very little stretching and virtually no massage of the primary + secondary muscle groups. 2. There was no follow-up on exercises (either a piece of paper or email) so I had to memorize everything on the spot and make the most of it. I tried Moti because a friend highly recommended the Los Feliz location. Since there were no immediate appointments I went to Highland Park to my great disappointment.

Fantastic experience: This place and these people have become family. The genuine care and persistence they show to help you feel better cannot be denied. This place saved my entire dance career. Their knowledge and wisdom have helped me understand how to properly care for my own body. This has truly been a gift that keeps on giving since I began receiving PT here. I've worked with several PT's both at this location and HP. You really cannot go wrong with any one at either location. They're all equally extremely intentional.

Fantastic experience: I had a traumatic injury this year and Dr. Keely made the entire experience of recovering.. dare I say… fun?? Her individualized approach to my care was unparalleled and she approached the entire treatment program with empathy, enthusiasm and ultimately VERY effective practices. The staff was all incredibly nice and easy to schedule with, and I loved the facilities and all that was available to me as well. After around 15 weeks of treatment my injury is completely healed and I’ve returned to my normal lifestyle, which seemed impossible to imagine after my surgery. Go to Dr. Keely - I miss her already!!

Fantastic experience: MOTI was the most supportive and positive environment for me to learn to re-build my lower back strength. I was felt supported and encouraged and heard. Dr. Lindsay Brunner is the most kind, supportive, intelligent and thoughtful therapist. I was so lucky to get to work with her. As a woman, she heard me about all of my issues, and we addressed them all and worked through them as a team over time. She is pure magic. If you have the opportunity to work with her, RUN don't walk. I would highly recommend doing your PT at MOTI.

Fantastic experience: MOTI physiotherapy is a fantastic place. My PT—Dr. Rhoda Bea Hernando—is fantastic; knowledgeable, patient, thorough, sensitive and professional. I was in therapy for 9.5 months and came to treasure my relationship with Rhoda and her aides. The staff here are always polite, helpful and friendly. I would absolutely recommend MOTI to anyone who is in recovery from injury or has structural abnormalities that could benefit from postural training and strengthening. I came in with multiple repetitive strain injuries, and left MOTI not only having addressed said injuries, but also feeling far better equipped to manage my scoliosis, winged scapula and hypermobility—minimizing pain and avoiding further injury. My most sincere thanks to Rhoda, Diana, Ivan and the whole team at MOTI. I love you guys!

Fantastic experience: When I walked into Moti three months ago, I could barely walk with a herniated disc that had pain radiating down my legs. My doctor at Cedars recommended I see Megan and Holy Moly and Hallelujah that she did! I was initially nervous because I had been going somewhere else prior to MOTI for my PT and had shown no progress and ended up re-injuring myself. And within one session Megan helped me switch my mindset from that nervousness and fear, to hope. She is beyond knowledgable, kind, attentive, positive and just an all around miracle worker. She immediately asked how I was sitting when working, traveling etc. And a lot of what I was doing (reclining on my couch, sitting for too long in positions that curved my lower back) were the culprit for a lot of my ongoing pain. She said "give me three months." And three months later I walked out pain free, doing exercises that I never thought I would be able to do again. Each session, we worked steadily adding new exercises with both Megan, and the incredible team at MOTI pushing me in the best way possible. I also learned in my time there that I would have good days and bad days with my pain and that that is ok. This is a process and even in those moments to know it will get better. I now have the knowledge and tools to move forward with my life in a way that I couldn't even have imagined when I walked in that door. I cannot recommend MOTI and Megan enough. Yesterday was my last day and on my last exercise as I was running up and down the drill ladder, (something I wouldn't have imagined myself doing again in a million years,) I almost cried because I felt like myself again. Thank you thank you thank you to everyone at MOTI!

Fantastic experience: MOTI is a wonderful place. Both the therapists and support staff are incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, and supportive. Greg Moy was my PT and I will never go to anyone else after working with him.

Fantastic experience: When I was prescribed physical therapy by my doctor I was thrilled to hopefully regain the strength, muscle and movement I had pre-pandemic. When MOTi was suggested I wasn't quite sure... believe it or not, not all PT places are created equal. In recent years I've been disappointed by the level of expertise by "experts" who really don't know how to improve your mobilty so you can go back to enjoying your life. MOTi is truly different. They are packed because they are good, but when you get in the system and they set you up with weekly visits you will see a difference.

They do everything they can to make your visit nice and carefree along with handling scheduling conflicts or other issues that may come up. They are professional, gracious and welcoming. Oh and free parking is on site.

Fantastic experience: MOTI is one of my favorite places in the world. They take such delicate and holistic care of your body, either to tune you up after a minor injury or for more intense rehab pre/post-surgery. All of the doctors and aides are extremely kind and take your feedback into humble consideration. The front desk staff is just as awesome. I couldn't recommend this place any more highly. Shout out to Dr. O'Linn for curing my shoulder ailment and dealing with my whining.

Fantastic experience: I started working with Dr. Lindsey for my pregnancy strength and an SI joint issue I had been having since before pregnancy. I started seeing her at around 19 weeks. The exercises helped immensely with my low back and hip pain and have helped me to feel stronger, healthier, and have more energy throughout this pregnancy. Dr. Lindsey was super helpful at talking about all things pregnancy and baby related, and recommending appropriate exercises. All of the PT aides that worked out with me were fantastic— very attentive and always aware of proper form. I’m now 31 weeks and going to MOTI was absolutely the best decision I made for my health. I have none of the aches and pains that I hear many other pregnant women complaining of at this stage! I’m looking forward to starting back when I am postpartum. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Gregory Moy is a one of a kind PT! He is very knowledgeable and understands what it takes to get his patients back to optimum health! I recommend Moti Physical Therapy to anyone who want's to get moving again.

Fantastic experience: First, let me start off by saying I have been to my fair share of physical therapy facilities and MOTI is by far the best. The facility and staff are incredibly caring, they worked with me to set up my schedule, and everything was always clean and up to date. Nickon, my therapist, was professional and easy to work with. I actually enjoyed going to PT after awhile (something before I had always dreaded). I had a lot of pain for a long time with my knee surgery and would get discouraged, but Nickon was always supportive, honest, attentive, and tried to find new ways to help me navigate the pain until it got better. My knee feels so much better now, and I owe a lot of that to MOTI and Nickon. I am so thankful that I had found this place to be a bright spot and a place of healing amongst having knee surgery and navigating the chaos around COVID.

Fantastic experience: The whole team at MOTI is professional and welcoming. Nancy Wong was my PT and she set me on the road to recovery with compassion and understanding. I never thought I would look look forward to my physical therapy session. It was truly a unique experience.

Fantastic experience: An extremely professional, pleasant and engaging team of people. I can't thank Dr. Megan O'Linn enough for her help in getting me back up on my feet (I had ACL reconstruction surgery). Also special thanks to every PTA that worked with me - they are all great. They keep you motivated and inspired; they keep you going. Every session was rewarding and the feeling of progress you develop is just special. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: My experience at MOTI was extremely beneficial and enjoyable. Greg was very thorough and knowledgeable, he listened well to all of my issues and answered all of my million+ questions. Our workouts were creative and targeted towards my specific issues related to my ACL/meniscus injuries, and I knew from the first session that I was in good hands. Elton was a great aide and he was very motivating during my sessions. I left MOTI feeling ready to begin strength training on my own, doing deadlifts and squats at my new gym. I'm ready to go back to playing soccer and I feel confident in my body again. I've also learned a ton through Greg and Elton that I can take with me and incorporate into my workouts. I'm grateful for having found MOTI and I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Luckily I've only needed PT a couple times as an adult, and was not real happy about either experience in the past. Recently been having serious pain and discomfort in my right elbow, which was a constant daily distraction. I was very fortunate to work with Dr Kirk Ramirez and all the friendly and knowledgable staff at MOTI Physiotherapy in Highland Park. It took some time, but Dr Ramirez devised a plan that got results, and I'm now able to play golf and workout without pain in the elbow.

Fantastic experience: MOTI is the best Physical Therapy experience I've ever had. My doctor, Dr. Rhoda, and all of the aides were extremely knowledgeable, great at listening, patient, kind, and fun to talk to. The facility is very spacious and includes a big gym, plus a few other rooms with spaces for private treatment or quiet recovery. I came here for pelvic physical therapy which is a specialized treatment that I was really glad to find here, and Dr. Rhoda led me through a treatment plan that helped bring my pain down drastically. My sessions with her were manual therapy and then a strength workout. It was really helpful to work out with the PT aides at Moti. They're all experts at proper exercise form and they watched me carefully to help me do the exercises correctly, and now I really feel a huge difference in my strength and my pain levels! Dr. Rhoda paid a lot of attention to how I was feeling and the ups and downs I would tell her. She was able to put me in touch with other specialists that were able to help me with pain and nutrition. I felt that she really cared about my recovery and also helped me manage my recovery in a holistic way. I looked forward to my sessions with Moti because everyone there was so helpful, and I had fun there! Before I started my treatment at Moti, my pain would range from 2-8 on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the worst) and my right hip muscles were often frozen and difficult to use. Now, my pain has plummeted down to 0-2 and my hip moves freely. THANK YOU DR. RHODA AND MOTI!

Fantastic experience: This is a wonderful place. I was sold when I saw that one of MOTI's top priorities was a safe, respectful environment in addition to its extensive and thorough knowledge and understanding of physical therapy. After years of dealing with unsympathetic doctors and care centers, this was so refreshing. I worked with Dr. Rhoda who provided a high standard of care and made me feel safe and relaxed in her care. Every aide I also worked with was also kind and wonderful. The front desk is great with communication and scheduling. They do take insurance so check to make sure yours is on there. If you're willing to put in the work, the support you get here is excellent.

Fantastic experience: Super professional, clean, fun environment, extremely knowledgeable staff. Couldn’t be more pleased.

Fantastic experience: These guys are great. Got me through shoulder surgery. Thanks

Fantastic experience: MOTI is the best!! Katie and all the PTs and aides there are amazing at what they do. Knowledgable, dedicated, personable. Can't recommend MOTI enough.

Fantastic experience: Lindsay Brunner is absolutely the best. I enjoyed every session and got stronger in a very short time. The stuff is also very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and facilities. Helped me recover from a very challenging, long term knee injury. The trainers provided excellent advice, resources, and care to conquer both the physical and mental obstacles on my road to recovery. Could not have done it without their help, can't recommend enough! Shout out Greg!

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and incredible physiotherapists. Walked in with a pretty debilitating and extremely limiting muscle/nerve condition and walked out 2 months later in better shape than I've been in for years. Love the MOTI fam!

Fantastic experience: The attention I have received from the staff at MOTI is incredible. They take incredible strides to make me feel informed and positive about my recovery. I simply cannot recommend their care highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I went to Dr. Kirk for some persistent shoulder pain I was having. He was extremely patient and paid attention to what about my lifestyle was causing the pain and what could be done to alleviate it. The training program was designed keeping my health in my mind and trainers that works for him were pretty good too. I would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I've always been nervous to go to PT and always put it off. I'm so glad I finally decided to go for some shoulder and groin PT and chose MOTI. Facilities and staff are amazing and I always felt safe and cared for. I am recommending them to anyone I talk to about PT. They really seem like the choice place to go in LA, especially having heard some stories about other PT programs and operations just trying to get people in and out the door. Sooooo A++++

Fantastic experience: This year has been different. We can all agree on that. I was diagnosed with an inflammatory arthritis at the beginning of this year. Having been a long distance runner for my life, it was extremely difficult to not only no longer have the ability to run, but to even walk for more than 5 minutes, go up and down the stairs, or even get up from the couch. Suddenly I was basically immobile. My rheumatologist recommended I try physical therapy and I found MOTI, nearby to my home in East LA. I mentioned that I was a long distance runner and they paired me with Kasia Gondek. I am so thrilled they paired us together. As a runner herself, she understood my goals and worked every week to get my joints moving again, creating a super helpful Home Exercise Program, even as we entered lockdown and continued working through zoom calls. That's care, that's dedication. After months of work together, I am now back on the trails and I've worked up to solid 4 mile runs again. I'm running better than I have in the past year and my form is better than ever. I can't begin to thank Kasia and the entire team at MOTI enough. Some days it felt like I might never get back to where I was, but they all were there for me every week with kindness and knowledge, understanding and helpfulness. I looked forward every week to working with them in their awesome, clean, and advanced facility.  I was even working with another PT at the time and Kasia was able to help in so many more realistic ways than my other therapy was. MOTI is the real deal. They are the best PT you can get in Los Angeles. Hands down. I am so thankful for all of their help.

Fantastic experience: Physical therapy at MOTI was an outstanding experience in professionalism and effectiveness. Dr Lindsay Brunner was impressive in her evaluation and re-evaluation skills. She targeted her choice of exercises to restoring & improving important daily functional abilities. She was positive and encouraging, also a very effective teacher. She took me from a plateau of home PT for my fractured kneecap to resuming my life somewhat better than it was before my fall. I'm even able to run the agility course with my dog again! MOTI administration was seamless in enrollment and scheduling. There was no pressure to purchase exercise equipment. Overall I would highly recommend MOTI.

Fantastic experience: I can’t thank my physical therapist Greg Moy and the team at MOTI enough, this place is the BEST!! From the very beginning, I felt my voice was heard and Greg made a specialized program specifically for me to suit my own individual needs and concerns. Not only did they help me recover from bicep surgery but also improve my range of motion from my two shoulder surgeries 14 years ago. Absolutely incredible!! The facility is clean, modern and top notch. The front desk staff is amazing, caring and very helpful. I feel better than I have in many years. If you’re in need of physical therapy, look no further than MOTI!

Fantastic experience: Where do I begin??? I broke my ankle in September 2019. Ann Helped me heal and become stronger without her who knows where I’d be. My son Jonas who is experiencing some weakness in his knees from playing basketball. We were so lucky that Kirk was available to work with him and help make him a stronger athlete. This is the best physical therapy office I’ve ever seen. Everything is top notch and they have the best at their fingertips. We love it so much that my son continues to go for personal training with Kirk. They have a special bond and my son loves it so much that he is considering becoming a physical therapist himself. They can handle any injury with care. This is way above and beyond manipulating and massage. You will be stronger when you leave. I am a year post ankle break and I am able to do all of my daily activities perfectly. Out of all of the sadness that came from my injury my happiest day was showing up at Moti!

Fantastic experience: MOTI Physiotherapy is a great place. I am being treated at the Los Feliz clinic for chronic tendonitis in my shoulder. In a few short months I feel like I have made great progress. Strength and balance have returned to my upper body and pain and soreness have diminished. I could not be more pleased with the results. Dr. Katy and the whole staff at MOTI are wonderful.

Fantastic experience: My experiences at MOTI have been entirely positive. Dr. Katie Lichty is an extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful physical therapist. Katie paid careful attention to everything I said and did, constantly adding to my program, keeping it interesting, building my strength and stamina, and increasing my flexibility. The administrative staff are expert schedulers and equally good at communicating with my insurance. All this housed in a light, airy, well equipped facility. I couldn't ask for more! Thank you MOTI!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to some form of PT many times in the past decade and nothing compares to MOTI. I’ve been going to MOTI for about two years now. The facility is tops! The entire staff, including front of office personnel, are incredibly helpful and pleasant to be around during a time where you are healing and need the extra TLC. Jake is not only the best therapist I’ve had, but the best medical professional I’ve ever worked with. His awesome bedside manner is only topped by his knowledge of his field. He takes the time to really understand your pain and discomfort. He’s not only constructively curious, he actually cares. I always leave MOTI feeling better than when I walked in and I have Jake to thank for that!

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with MOTI, and especially the therapist I worked with there, Greg Moy. Greg spent a lot of time working with me to understand my injury, work through the immediate issues that were limiting my activities, and then set me up on an ongoing program I could do on my own to complete my recovery. Highly recommended, whether you have a sports-related injury or just aches and pains from the dreaded old age.

Fantastic experience: The entire team at MOTI was great. Greg was always engaged and aware of my history and my progress. I'm very used to having to repeat myself to the medical experts in my life and was very pleased when Greg would remind me about something I told him over a month earlier. Facilities are great. Everybody took the COVID precautions seriously and I never once felt at risk. I just finished 3 months of rehab on my knee surgery and was super grateful to be able to ski with my kids and have total confidence that my knee and leg were stronger than they've ever been. If you live nearby, it's also nice to run into your neighbors as they mend and rebuild themselves! Don't think twice. Just go here.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of both Dr. Nick Cutri and Dr. Lindsay Brunner at MOTI for different diagnoses. I love them both!! Most recently, I worked with Lindsay throughout my pregnancy to strengthen my pelvic floor and prepare me for labor. As I reach my due date, I am feeling stronger than ever and have learned so much about my body mechanics and how to handle the birthing process. I would never have found the strength and understanding of my body entering the birth of my first child had I not worked with Lindsay. I feel confident that my recovery postpartum will be as smooth as possible thanks to Lindsay's care. I am so excited to return as her patient for postpartum recovery and care! I cannot say enough great things about the team at MOTI. Always attentive, caring, and encouraging throughout my treatment. Pelvic Floor PT and women's health treatment at MOTI has been a complete game changer and I'm so happy to have found them! Thank you MOTI!!!

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience doing PT at MOTI with Dr. Fei Zang. We worked together for several months and she helped me recover and build strength to prevent future injury. Fei really supported my goals and helped me surpass them. I highly recommend working with her! At first I went in person and felt very satisfied with their COVID protocols, but I switched to virtual during the Winter surge. It was still very effective and I was happy to have the option.

Fantastic experience: I am stronger and more agile, thanks to the top-notch care I received at MOTI Physiotherapy. Working with two fantastic therapists - Nickon and Fei -- I have overcome a lot of the pain and fatigue of arthritis in both knees. They were both professional, courteous and attentive - as was every member of the staff at MOTI. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Just finished my 5-month shoulder surgery recovery with MOTI and I can finally do pull-ups again! What a success. To start MOTI will by no means ever be the cheapest PT in town, but they aren't fighting for that bottom shelf. They're fighting to provide the best PT and recovery that you will need after an injury or intense surgery, like what I went through. MOTI is a facility for patients who care about recovering. I originally wanted to take the cheaper route and go with my in-network provider but after 5 months, to have the ability again to move my shoulder or work out without pain, I can easily say that I made the right decision with MOTI. MOTI has wonderful state of the art PT equipment, from their Keiser machines to their iPhone app that helps walk through the at-home exercises with videos. Their facility is one of the cleanest I have seen. When I first began going I thought it was brand new, only to learn they had been open for a couple of years. Plus now with COVID ( hopefully not applicable in the future), I felt safe because each time I went to PT because not only did every individual in the building, from staff to patients, have proper PPE but every time I put down a piece of equipment it was thoroughly sanitized and cleaned. I was amazed and comforted by the effort they put into my safety. And finally even though deep down I don't want to do this review because if MOTI gets the recognition it deserves for its quality of PT, I know that means that the next time I screw up my body I might not be able to get an appointment as quickly! But that would be selfish to hold back after they have done so much for me. Megan and her team did a wonderful job helping me recover after my surgery and I cannot say thank you enough. But (always a but!), if there was one note to give…. it would be there needs to be more Ariana Grande playing! Thank you

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough positive things about my time at MOTI. After a surgery to repair a torn labrum and AC joint in my shoulder, I began rehab in Jan 2020. I began my recovery with serious discomfort in the shoulder and low confidence about my strength in general. Working with Clinic Director Dr. Megan O'Linn 2x a week, I made remarkable progress with whole body exercises and shoulder specific treatment, e.g., cupping, theragun, manual mobilzation, and more. Once lockdown became a permanent reality, Megan kept up treatment via Telehealth and crafted a comprehensive home excerise program to continue the recovery process. In the past month, the clinic has done an excellent job creating a clean and safe environment for us to return for in-person treatment. After "graduating" from my PT rehab, I continued at MOTI with a personal training program. The clinic is filled with high quality equipment for all kinds of different workouts. Today, I could not be happier with the condition of my shoulder and I owe it all to the MOTI team. My rehab was challenging but pleasing. I will also add that the administrative team was a pleasure to work with, before and during the COVID circumstances. Thank you MOTI!

Fantastic experience: My therapist, Fei Zang, carefully planned a program to strengthen and repair my a rotator cuff injury. After eight months of expert care, education, and practice, I recently graduated to self care at home. I am forever grateful to her for all of her help and guidance. I am thankful staff at MOTI as well. It's a warm and friendly place. ... A big THANKS!!

Fantastic experience: I love the convenience of going to Moti in my neighborhood. It's a much friendlier place than a hospital for seeing a Physical Therapist.

Fantastic experience: MOTI, located in Los Feliz, was a perfect venue for my shoulder rehabilitation. Clean, organized with a very thoughtful staff, they may have saved me from having surgery. In particular, Jake Moyer took a personal interest in helping me heal, for which I'm grateful.

Fantastic experience: There are truly not enough words in the English language to describe my gratitude for Fei! I sustained a severe foot injury in February that left me unable to lift my big toe or put any weight on my foot at all. I began physical therapy in person at MOTI prior to the shutdown. Fei's kindness and professionalism struck me from day one. As I continued to make progress, we began working over teletherapy due to the shutdown and the transition was seamless. Fei was able to be just as effective over teletherapy, and thanks to her I "graduated" last week with the full ability to walk, run, jump, climb, AND move all of my toes! I would not be where I am without her and am forever grateful. If you need a physical therapist, GO SEE FEI!! You will be so happy you did!

Fantastic experience: Moti physical therapy is so Amazing. I have had this pain on my hip/Leg for quite awhile. The staff is so professional and they listen to all you have to say. There's even one time I came in early cause I forgot my appointment and they took me in. I love the passion and care and attention they give you. Especially all the text appointment reminders they give you to remind you a few days before. I also love that they email you your own exercise program on your phone and you can download your sessions. I love all the staff and also the fact that when I'm tired from work I can even shower there cause they have there own shower to accommodate their patients. i Highly recommend this place. Brian and Kirk are wonderful. Thank you to all your staff. You Recovering patient Anna

Fantastic experience: I would strongly recommend MOTI to anybody seeking help with back pain. I've the pleasure to be working with Megan and Bryce (PT) and they are just amazing at their job. All staff has been nothing but supportive and very helpful in my recovery. Everyone I've seen working @ MOTI seems to be very professional & caring about recovery and health. Thank YOU all. You have made me come along way from when I fist visit your office for consultation.

Fantastic experience: just finished a round - my second - at Moti. first time was for my knee, this time for my neck. the fact that I returned says something. there's a welcoming attitude and a calm but serious attention to their patients. warm and friendly atmosphere, and smart, intuitive, and positive attitude therapists. my neck is so much better, and my knee remains functional - I play full court basketball every week. Ann was a superstar with my neck. Brian was great with my knee. I'm a fan, based on personal experience and positive results.

Fantastic experience: The staff is well trained, friendly, and highly professional. The location is very beautifully designed, well equipped, and extremely clean. Kirk has always given me full attention, kindness, and support as I try to resolve some physical kinks. This opportunity has been phenomenal, and also, the location is fantastic. You are right on Hillhurst, and if you don't want a fancy lunch after getting some training, there is a Subway next door! Oh yeah, when I inquired about the location, the owner, just before going on paternity leave, he called me to have a conversation. I was like, "are you serious, why are you calling me, should you have someone else follow up with me?" He said, "well, MOTI is my baby and I want to make sure you are in good hands." Highly recommend. Check it out for sure. Let's not also forget, the staff behind the front desk are super responsible and friendly.

Fantastic experience: My experience with MOTI Physiotherapy is absolutely great! The facility is spacious with modern touch. The team of physical therapists is knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I have been suffering too long from headaches and neck pain. My first visit was with Brian Schwabe, who made an evaluation and the initial diagnosis. I have been coming to see Daniel for a couple weeks now. He is amazing! Daniel helped me to strengthen and stretch those muscles and I found immediate relief. He is very thorough in his explanations about why I was having pain and how to exercise to gain long term relief. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great, clean facility with a kind and expert level staff. Identified my issue quickly and I felt results within a few weeks. Would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Nothing but a positive experience at MOTI. Clean facility, positive environment, helpful and attentive PTs + staff. Definitely recommended!

Fantastic experience: The staff is professional, friendly, knowledgeable. The facility is clean and comfortable!

Fantastic experience: MOTI helped me to get back to my daily routine and active lifestyle faster than I ever have before. Thank you to everyone over at MOTI. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: My physical therapist Kirk is terrific -- very knowledgeable and pays detailed attention to how I'm doing exercises rather than just putting me through the motions. Also, the beautiful big open space with skylights doesn't hurt!

Fantastic experience: Great, supportive, hard-working team of people here. They have fixed my body 3 times now. Unbelievable work from Fei, in particular.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant customer service from entrance to exit. Clean, modern facility free from pretense. Wonderful techs, excellent parking, and Kirk Ramirez! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Brian Schwabe is outstanding. You will be hard pressed to find a more knowledgeable and skilled physical therapist anywhere. He helped me immensely with my total knee replacement recovery. The facility is first rate and immaculate and the staff is flawless. A totally positive experience.

Fantastic experience: I've only been going for a few months, but the care and attention I've received has been amazing. After being in and out of PT for almost 3 years now, it's easy to get discouraged and feel like you're hearing the same thing over and over. I feel truly listened to and cared for, with the perfect combination of bodywork and exercises. And, the staff is incredibly friendly!

Fantastic experience: I'm a professional dancer and MOTI Physiotherapy helped me heal from a shoulder separation injury quickly and efficiently. Their therapists are incredible, facility is clean, and the Normatec technology available helped tremendously. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Meghan is great! I’ve gone to her for both an elbow and shoulder injury. She takes the time to listen to my concerns, and clearly knows what she’s doing. The space itself is super clean, professional and friendly. The equipment is clean, modern, organized. Highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Spotlessly clean facility with plenty of room and state-of-the-art equipment. All of the physical therapists are knowledgeable, dedicated and super friendly. (Well, not "super" friendly, they'll give you a little nudge if you're not working hard enough!) Fei is simply the best in the business, but Cindy, Andrew and many others are truly experts in their field.

Fantastic experience: The care I have received from Dr. Zang and MOTI has been nothing less than stellar. She is a model clinician with an empathetic and personalized approach. She is constantly incorporating my responses to the exercises to further tailor my care plan and enhance its effectiveness.

Fantastic experience: I was having a knee issue that was causing excruciating pain. I've been seeing Nick Cutri and Jake Moyer for PT for less than 6 weeks I'm doing remarkably better. I recommend Nick and Jake at MOTI to everyone. Both of them are incredibly knowledgable and keyed right in to what my issues were immediately. I thoroughly enjoy going to PT, and the exercises are fun. I'm no longer limping and I'm back in the pool swimming laps.

Negative experience: I’ve had a couple sessions at Moti and have decided to cancel any further treatment with them. When selecting an establishment for PT, I feel like consistent, knowledgeable care is important, along with a well staffed and organized office. Moti did not deliver on most of that. My physical therapist was very knowledgeable and friendly, but I feel like his effectiveness was hampered by poorly designed system. The space is convenient to my house, and the parking lot is nice. That’s about my extent of the positive marks I have. Both times I’ve been there, a front desk of 3-4 people stared blankly at computer screens not even recognizing I was even there. My first visit they scheduled me with one of their therapists and had a good lengthy discussion about what we were working on. After finishing that session, the front desk told me that he didn’t have an opening for another two weeks! This didn’t phase them at all though, they seems fine with shuffling me to different therapist. This is not my idea of personal care, or a well organized system that takes the patient into account. This shuffling around seems to be a way of business for them. After my second appointment, a waiting list appointment I had lucky gotten with my original therapist, I was shuffled between different techs working me through my exercises post therapy. I stood around waiting after I finished workouts, as they buzzed around dealing with other clients. One tech actually set me up for a workout at a weight would would have aggravated, if not injured the very think I was dealing treatment for. I had to ask him to lower it by half and still have a difficult time. In another instance my PT had to ask the tech what exercise I was doing, as it wasn’t something he prescribed. All these stories are indicative of a business that seems not to have effective personal care as a top priority. After all I’ve experienced, I feel like a 2 star rating is very fair, and that’s mostly based on the personality of my therapist and the convenience of the location.
