Colleen and her team are amazing at what they do here. I'm only sad that I hadn't found this place sooner, since she's closed her practice at the end of June 2026 to pursue new opportunities. I was still really thankful that she was able to squeeze me in for a month to help with my lower back/glute pain though. I work a desk job, so I'm often sitting without much movement throughout the day. One day, I noticed really bad pain in the left side of my lower back that ran through my leg, even felt some numbness in my foot on my worst days while sitting. Through a few sessions with Colleen, I've felt much improvement over the past few weeks and it has helped me so much. On our first visit, she assessed my posture, mobility, flexibility, etc. and was able to pinpoint where it was affecting me the most. She provided me with a structured treatment plan and recommended various stretches that I could do at home/at my desk. Since I've started the PT and stretching everyday, I definitely feel the difference. I've also been more intentional about moving around more throughout the workday, going back to the gym, and standing instead of sitting when I can. I really owe it to Colleen! She is super kind and knowledgable and has an amazing team that supports her and her PT practice. So grateful that I found this place for the short time that I needed her! :) read more

This review is long overdue! Colleen is one of the best PT i have worked with - she has helped me through multiple different injuries (lower back, knee, shoulder). Most recent one being a shoulder injury which I tried other PTs closer to me first but returned to Colleen after the others didn't work out. Longer drive is totally worth the relief I get! Her staff is also super helpful and nice. So grateful for Colleen and team! Thank you all! read more

My 13 year old son, who is a basketball player, was diagnosed with an acute stress injury in his left tibia. Colleen and team were able to squeeze him in and start seeing him regularly within a week of being diagnosed. They were also able to work with our insurance after we paid a premium which ended up saving us a lot of money. Through a combination of their excellent treatment and my son's sticking to their treatment plan and doing the prescribed exercises every day at home he has now made a full recovery and is back on the court stronger than ever! Colleen is friendly, caring and knowledgeable- couldn't have asked for a better experience for my son's recovery! read more

If you need PT, this is your place. Colleen has built an amazing practice here. This place is unique in a few dimensions: 1) hands on body work is a big component of the rehab therapy here and they are VERY good at that. 2) they genuinely care about getting you, a human being, back on your feet and into your regular life. You are not just a patient that goes in and out as a business transaction. 3) the entire staff is wonderful from the PT assistants to the PTs to the front office. I went in because I was getting daily migraines from poor posture. Through her thoughtful treatment plan, Colleen gave me hope immediately. From there, with the combination of a consistent exercise routine, the excellent hands-on work from Lisa and the pep talks about minding my posture, I finally got to a place of significant improvement. I am very grateful to Colleen, Lisa, Kian, Brian and Robin. Just fantastic. Thank you so very much!! read more

Colleen is a great PT, very attentive and flexible in her treatment. The staff is super friendly also. In addition to exercises (which are typical for other PT I had attended in the past) the treatments include a deep tissue massage, an electric stimulation and an ultrasound therapy that I believe stimulate the healing. I attended Bodies In Motion PT two year ago for a shoulder problem and a different PT completely fixed it, I exercise regularly and never have any shoulder problems since. That is why I went back to address my back pain. read more

Colleen is awesome. Helped me with recovery from lower disc herniation. I've had a bad back for 35 years, this was just the latest major flair-up. Her's was the best advice, direction and approach i have had to date. She helped me get to the root issues with overall body alignment (stemming from an old knee injury) and bad movement habits. The net result is that I not only recovered from the injury but have greatly shored up my preventive protection against future injury. read more

Collin is a magician.. I have gone to her for multiple issues over the years and she has always fixed them;

I have seen many physical therapists over the years and Colleen is in a class of her own. The ability to diagnose and treat the underlying functional issue has brought me relief for knee pain that plagued me for years! Highly recommend!! read more

Colleen is great- my family members all go to her. She's worked with runners and other student athletes as well as my 87 year old father. She takes great care in analyzing gate, and range of motion , etc. Her therapy always goes beyond just the exercises but also deep tissue massage if needed, electric stimulation of muscles and ultrasound therapy too. read more

Place is more than a little raggedy. Not enough staff. There's only one PT person most of the time and she's great as well as totally overwhelmed. The staff is nice enough, but they aren't able to give you their full attention. I know the difference because I've don't PT before in San Francisco. Vastly different experience also the location is hard to find if you kind of don't already know where you're going. Their billing is also, pretty AWFULE. I still have not been charged a co-pay. I've mentioned it to the person at the check-in more than once. I'm afraid of what they might be sending to my insurance. They can't bill to an existing auto medical insurance claim. For me that was the final nail in the coffin. The reason I chose them at all is because they are close to my house and had capacity to add me as a new patient. There's definitely a reason that Bodies in Motion had space for me. read more

When I started at Bodies in Motion, the pain in my knee was so bad that I was barely walking, icing multiple times a day, wearing Rock Tape and knee braces. I remember I helped my mom through knee surgery and watching her recover to more mobility and stamina (and less pain) than I had. I was trying to strengthen my knee and improve my alignment with the help of a friend who is a Pilates instructor but, though I was getting stronger, eventually had to admit it wasn't working. I just kept re-injuring my knee. Finally I took myself to a Sports Medicine Doctor who recommended PT, and I found Colleen based on lots of positive reviews. (Next time I'll go straight to Colleen.) Colleen was able to quickly and correctly diagnose the issue and gave me exercises that I could do with a straight leg that strengthened the muscles around the knee without re-aggravating the knee. She also assigned me the anti-grav treadmill so that could re-learn how to walk with better mechanics than what i'd fallen into. The aides helped with a Tens machine and ultrasound to help (if i understand correctly) break up the blockages that were impeding healing. The combination was nothing short of miraculous. I'm walking, even sometimes jogging, now and am entirely pain-free. My knee no longer goes out, and I'm stronger in other parts of my body as well. I'm so so so grateful to Colleen and her team for regaining the ability to hike with my family. Note: The visits are not quick. Especially as my exercises increased, I was attending for 2 hours each time. Often there is a wait for the physical therapist (which I choose to spend doing the assigned exercises). But the time investment directly translates into healing and regained function, so it's well worth it. Just bring the right expectations when you go! read more

I waited three weeks for my first appointment at Bodies in Motion due to lack of earlier appointments. I had a 3:30PM appointment and showed up at 3:25 with my paperwork and co-payment in hand (they only take cash or check which is very old-school and a bit frustrating). I was scheduled to see Mohamed ("Mo") for a one-hour session, and was told he was running behind schedule. I will note that I did bring kids with me and I had been pleasantly surprised when they said I could bring them (or else I would have had to arrange for childcare). My girls squeezed into one of the two chairs in the tiny waiting area and sat quietly reading. After several minutes, my back pain started becoming unbearable (the reason why I was at PT), so I sat outside the front door, on the ground, with my back against the wall because they had no more chairs and I couldn't stand any longer. At 4:05, an assistant said he'd take me back into a room. I asked him how long it would take to see Mo, and he didn't know. I told him that I could not just wait there indefinitely, so he spoke with Mo who apparently told him he could do a "quick" 15-minute session with me so I'd be done by 4:30 as promised. I didn't want to pay for a full session just to have him rush through our appointment because he was running late - that's nuts! Not to mention, Mo didn't even have the decency to speak to me in person and apologize for his actions. I left the office FORTY minutes after my scheduled time, cancelled my other appointments, and will now start from scratch to find another physical therapist. Thanks for nothing, Mo. read more

Colleen, Alex and entire PT team are the best. I broke my humerus bone in a cycling fall and a month in was starting to get a stiff shoulder. They were quick to fit me into their busy schedule and the team has been absolutely instrumental is me getting back range of motion on my shoulder. The entire team is attentive to your needs, and in general extremely accommodating to work around my schedule (special shout-out to Robin for her scheduling magic :)). I would highly recommend them for your PT needs. read more

Colleen was excellent and took time to explain things. The staff is super pleasant and precise. A very pleasant experience with the appropriate discomfort of rehab of a shoulder surge read more

Just number one on my back. my back was so sore, I need her help just to walk.so give is a five star as he knowledge is gild

Excellent, personal, hands-on attention. Colleen, the physical therapist, is extremely knowledgeable and her treatments are effective. The office is well-run and friendly. I researched a number of facilities before choosing this one; so glad I did! read more

Bodies in Motion is THE best PT resource I've ever personally experienced. Colleen O'Kane and her staff are wonderful. Colleen is especially amazing at diagnosing and providing effective treatment plans. As a physician, I greatly admire her superb diagnostic and therapeutic skills. read more

The whole team is great! I was able to get great results within a few weeks. I'm back to what I was doing before with even a bit more strength for my physical workouts and swimming routines. read more

Had a great time recovering during ACL rehab with PT, massages electrical stim ultrasound and anti gravity treadmill running

Colleen and her staff have done a wonderful job helping me heal a chronic problem as well as addressing an acute injury that came up while I was in treatment. read more

Great service in a very friendly environment. The office is a bit run down and cramped, but they seem to have all the equipment they need, including a high-tech anti-gravity treadmill. They are also contracted with several of the large health insurance providers, so billing is easy. The biggest frustration is that there is no way to schedule appointments online. read more

The consultation done by Colleen for my daughter's knee issue was extremely thorough and the 8 week intensive twice weekly visit had her back on her feet playing soccer. The office has several aides that help with ultra sound and the application of the pads for the tens machine, both of these devices were not offered at the previous PT. Colleen's manipulations and the solid knowledge of how bodies work are part of why what she does works so well. Although the overall office is small, there are 3 consulting rooms and an additional table in the open area. The equipment available is in good condition and although there may be several people working out at once, most people share the space well and politely. Communication from the aides with children/teenagers is great. They could improve this for adults, especially checking in on them whilst doing exercises to ensure correct posture and making adjustments as necessary. Also sometimes adults do require additional attention to ensure completion of given exercises. I comment specifically on this as most people go to PT to get better and may have to be out of their comfort zone, sometimes hurting will mean improvement down the line which is often missed in the throws of that 10th push up!! Which if aides were more attentive to more progress might be made in a shorter time period. I have also had the pleasure of using Colleen myself for my shoulder and neck issue. Very pleased that I have made good progress. Having had surgery earlier in the year whilst I had made progress and had a good range of motion with my previous PT, Colleen understood that I wanted to get back to actually using my shoulder in my sporting activities and as close to 100%. Not just average use. I have some scar tissue build up that she is working the kinks out of to get me there! Overall, Bodies in Motion is highly recommended for both children and adults. read more

I sprained my ankle badly. Colleen and team did an excellent job of helping me recover full range of motion and stability in my ankle as well as resolving the residual pain I was experiencing. This visits are not quick as you come in do your exercises, then see the PT for assessment and massage and then receive ultrasound/stim/etc. But you are getting 1) supervision and support on your exercises, 2) personal attention and treatment from the PT herself every time you come in and 3) the full range of therapeutic modalities that can benefit your condition.... a very worthy investment in your physical health IMHO. read more

I have been a patient of Bodies in Motion for over a year now. It was recommended by a specialist Dr, who thought that I needed no X-ray or medications, just a good PT. After a few months of weekly treatments the strain in my neck nearly went away. It came back last summer, and after few more months of weekly appointments improved again, dramatically. Colleen, the owner, really understands the body and is highly skilled in her craft. Aside from sessions of deep, and yes, often painful, deep massages, she had recommended daily exercises that have strengthen my back and neck and have had great results. Her staff is very polite and helpful. Highly recommended if you are looking for a top notch physical therapist. read more

Colleen was the first professional who took my daughter's knee pain seriously. By then my daughter had been in pain for over a year and had seen several doctors and other professionals. Collen was our second PT. She was able to give us the right clues. We got more testing done and were finally able to find the root cause for the pain. read more

Selena and her team are great. I came here because my bunion surgery 3 months ago which prevents me walk normally. With 3-time therapies, Selena helps me walk normally again (with my entire foot - not on the side of the foot due to the pain on my surgery area). Whenever I come to the the therapy, she asked me what issues that I still have attentively and came up with various therapies and exercises to help me improve. And sure enough I continue to improve. Greatly appreciate her expertise. And the staff are great, and always make sure I finish my exercises. read more

I've been going here for a few months for a bad ankle I keep rolling. Dr. Colleen O'Kane has guided me on how to strengthen my ankle and reduce pain, and it's been working. The staff are very helpful and polite. Robin is the office manager and she has been very helpful with my uniquely difficult insurance billing issues. Couldn't ask for more. read more

Bodies in Motion Physical Therapy is an excellent place to go for therapy. I tried them because they were on my doctor's list of places he recommended to get physical therapy, and luckily they had some openings, as I needed to get started with a therapy program as soon as possible. Everyone who works there is very professional, very nice, and knows exactly what they can do to help you recover from any injury you might have. They design a program of exercises you can do at home, and make sure you understand how to do these exercises correctly. I highly recommend them. read more

Such a grate place! I go here for physical therapy once a week and it really helps. The people who work here are profession yet very conversational and kind. They help a wide variety of people and do a lot of good in their clients' lives! They have a lot of facilities and the woman in charge of the business is very gifted. I totally recommend going here for physical therapy or just to meet the amazing staff that works here! read more

Great Place! Everyone has a great attitude. Jacob has been able to get me mobile in no time and Robin in the front room got me settle with patience and a smile. 5 stars for the team! read more

I have been going to Bodies in Motion off and on for the past two years, and have had Kate as my pt. I totally disagree with Harriet's comments about her abilities and her professionalism.. She did wonders for me after my neck surgery, and in fact was the one who figured out that something was going on with my shoulder (turned out to be a torn rotator cuff). After I developed a frozen shoulder from the surgery on my shoulder- I didn't hesitate to go back to her. My shoulder is almost healed now and I give Kate a ton of credit for helping me. She outlined from day one what our objectives would be, and what needed to happen to get there. I have been to other pts over the years and would say that Kate has been by far, the best one that I've had. read more

Unfortunately I would not recommend Bodies in Motion. First of all I was lied to by the office manager Mike. I asked him to check if my insurance would be accepted. He guaranteed me it would be and said he had checked with my insurance. After attending several sessions, he called and said my insurance wasn't approved. I was left paying more than $500 out of pocket. (That's 4 days of my substitute teacher pay). What saddened me the most is that Colleen did not even apologize for her employers lie. The second reason is that Colleen overbooks and I often had to wait 30 minutes for my appointment. Not OK. read more

My son went to Bodies in Motion for knee problems and the physical therapy was very successful. Why have all of the positive reviews been filtered here? read more

I was helped by Kate, a PT here, months ago. She was kind and professional. She thoroughly explained what was going on with my knee and how to rehab it and how to prevent future injuries. I definitely recommend Bodies In Motion and Kate! read more

Colleen has been helping my shoulder get its range of motion back. I had rotator cuff surgery about 3 weeks ago and I'm surprised at my progress after each visit. She's also knowledgeable and answers any questions I have, even regarding other health issues. What I really like is that she can modify the exercises specific for me (I have issues/pain on the other shoulder sometimes!) and her manual/massage work on my shoulder is very painful but I'm glad she doesn't "take it easy on me" because the pain is necessary in order to make progress in recovery. The staff is also very friendly. I've been to other PT facilities, and this is the only place that actually requests documents/reports from my doc in order to give me accurate treatment. I think that's a smart way to approach it instead of solely relying on discussions with the patient (which is not always accurate). read more

My son plays football and recently hurt his right shoulder. As a quarterback, we thought he would be out for weeks. We made an appointment with Colleen at Bodies in Motion and after a couple of sessions, he had no more pain. I'm so glad I took my son to see her. Not only is he 100% better but she taught him how different exercises to keep his shoulder and body strong. She is amazing physical therapist and I highly recommend her! read more

I am writing this review because Colleen has saved me from three operations. 1. A shoulder that was dislocated. 2. A knee I thought was damaged and had to be operated on. 3. She new the difference between a arm pain and cardiac issue. My cardiac doctor is Dominic Curatola. He is known as one of the number one heart doctors in the bay area. When I dislocated my shoulder, he suggested I see Colleen. I did and she found more than my shoulder issue. My body was out of line and she fixed problems that have been with me for years. I had arm pain and she suggested I see Dr. C. A few days later I had a small operation on my heart. Thanks Colleen. You saved my life. The knee, I blew it out skiing. I was so upset that I was going to be out for months with an operation. Well she fixed it. Believe me before you get cut, check her out. read more

Colleen and her team helped my daughter recover from a knee injury two years ago and more recently has been facilitating my son's recovery from a broken ankle. We are extremely satisfied that we chose Bodies in Motion in each instance. Colleen and her team are responsive, knowledgable, caring and fun. Both kids enjoy their physical therapy sessions and appreciate Colleen's caring and supportive approach. I know that these sessions have been instrumental in getting my young athletes back on the field with confidence and in some aspects stronger than they were before the injury. We highly recommend her team! read more

I'm Francis, studying to be a priest for the Diocese of San Jose in California. I sprained my ankle on February 1, 2016 while I was playing scrimmage basketball in preparation for our big game on Feb. 19th vs the priests. I was trying to defend my man as he was driving to the basket. I jumped to block his shot and after that my left foot landed awkwardly which caused my ankle to roll. My ankle blew up and was the size of a golf ball. I got an x-ray and there was no break or fracture. I followed the R.I.C.E guideline which resulted to reduce swelling. But after two weeks, my ankle was still in pain and not ready for basketball. I felt frustrated because our game only happens once a year and I really wanted to play. Five days before the big game, I decided to call Bodies in Motion to schedule an appointment with Coleen O'Kane. After the three sessions doing exercises, using muscle stimulator and taping for stabilization, things dramatically improved. My ankle felt so much better and ready for the game. During the warm up, my coach notice how ready I was running back and forth the court. He decided to put me in the starting line up and did my very best to contribute to the team. After four periods and double overtime, our team (Seminarians) won the game by just three points. It was a fun game! I give a lot of credit to God for the gift of healing and Coleen of Bodies & Motion for the the job well done. When I first called the office, I told Mike Morris, the office assistant how much I wanted to recover from injury really soon. He told me not to worry because Coleen is the best in the business. I definitely agree! Thanks a lot Bodies in Motion... read more

Bodies In Motion Physical Therapy, Inc. - Physical Therapy Near Me - Mountain View, California

I would never use this place again, I had Kate as my PT and she is very nice but lacks the expertise and professionalism of a real PT as well as the office staff, very disorganized in their paperwork and they don't even go over what they will be doing for you. I just started going to another Physical Therapist "Breakthrough" Physical Therapy in Sunnyvale and what a difference and very professional. Bodies in Motion lacks lots of expertise in comparison. I should have used Collen as recommended. Oh well.. read more
