I'm sure the physical therapists are 10 stars--when I went here a few years ago, Karin Andersson…read morewas my PT and she's out of this world! (Since left, and is at a different agency now). Today was the inaugural day of their new location: 3610 San Fernando Blvd. I put on my yoga pants and left super early, so I wouldn't be deterred by traffic or parking issues. I arrived at 2:15 for my 3:00 pm appointment. Guess what? THERE IS NO PARKING!!! They are located between two tiny side streets, Rosslyn and Dolores; bumper-to-bumper parking already in place, probably employees of the industrial businesses there who grabbed the few spaces at 5:00 a.m. San Fernando Blvd.? Plenty of parking *across the street* from Stay Ready, 10 or so blocks south of the nearest light and crosswalk at Glendale and San Fernando, so if you park there, either risk your life darting across the boulevard, or walk half a mile to the crossing, then half a mile back to Stay Ready. After repeatedly circling around and going up and down the side streets again and again, at 2:32 I called from my cell and left a message detailing the above. I said was leaving. Ha! When I got home, they had left ME a message saying, "Did you forget your 3:00 pm appointment?" I returned the call and...let's just say I'm sure they're happy they'll never get my business again. Sadly, I saw them located on the corner (of Rosslyn), with pretty new spiffy A-Frame signs on the sidewalk, announcing they're open for business. I'll bet they were high with anticipation for the launch of their new digs. I am sure it's gorgeous inside...if you ever make it inside. Whoever made this location decision needs to be...well, gentle reader, I'll leave the punishment to your imagination.

I have gone to see Kevin at Aspire for two separate issues in the last 2 years and he has fixed me…read moreboth times! In 2024 I had an issue with my shoulder rotator cuff from overuse in the gym. After a month of PT and exercises I got full use of my shoulder and no more pain, even to this day. More recently I went back to Kevin in August 2025 because I had pain on my left leg from training for my first full marathon. After getting an MRI I found out that I had a stress reaction on my left femur. Under Kevin's guidance I stopped running for 5 weeks to give my leg time to properly heal. I missed my peak training period, but instead supplemented with PT sessions & exercises, strength-training and low-impact cardio. Three weeks prior to the marathon I was given the all clear to start running again. I cannot thank Kevin & Ryan for fixing me just in time to be able to run my first marathon in October! Any time anyone asks for a PT recommendation, I point them to Kevin. He really cares for his clients and wants to see them succeed. Many of my friends have gone to him for their PT needs. He knows what he's doing and he's the consummate professional, as well as the entire staff. If I'm in need for physical therapy again, there's no one else I trust.

Thalia in the front desk is friendly, professional and makes checking in and scheduling appointments easy. Kevin and Ryan are knowledgeable, attentive and explain every exercise clearly.

After 4 years of lower back pain, visiting 3 PTs, a physiatrist and a couple acupuncturists I am so…read morehappy that I was recommended to visit Lucas by a friend of mine. He helped me finally get the proper diagnosis (an MRI which no one has previously recommended showed a slight disc bulge), and then after a round of much needed steroid treatment he gave me the tools to move forward in a way that was smart and helpful and has relieved about 90% of my pain and made movement and exercise bearable again. It's astonishing to me how much bad information I got before seeing him, but I am grateful that I now have a highly skilled and super friendly therapist I can trust. Highly recommend!

That's actually why I started going to Lucas Hernandez Physical Therapy. I was misdiagnosed and mismanaged by several doctors and physical therapists for chronic knee pain. I found Lucas, and he was able to refer me to high quality doctors who finally figured out my problem. I ended up having knee surgery, and I was able to work one on one with Lucas to reach my personal goals. Because I had the full attention of Lucas, my questions were answered and my progress was steady. Now, I'm able to move and exercise without pain thanks to Lucas! I'd recommend him to anyone!

I've spent a lot of time at MOTI in the last two years--rehabbing from back-to-back knee…read morereplacements. I've learned from past experience it helps if you trust your therapist and there is good communication between you. I found all that with Dr. Javin, plus a great sense of humor. PT is never fun, but it helps if you like the person who's working with you. Shout out to the terrific aides too. Much to my surprise, I headed back today for 12 weeks with a very painful neck problem. (yes, I had to wait over a month to get in) Very pleased to have met Dr. Bella, and getting to work with Dr. Javin again. The space & equipment is clean. Good music. Young patients and older patients so no one should feel out of place. Front desk really tries to help you. Yes, you get charged if you cancel with less than 24 hour notice. Small parking lot but workable. In a restaurant-fillled stretch of Hillhurst in Los Feliz.

SHADY AND IMCOMPETENT! I came down with what I thought were…read moreallergies but turned out to be a severe cold. Congested chest, sinus and head that were going to prevent me from doing ANY exercise from proper ability to breath. Upon leaving the doctor's office I called MOTI 20 hours prior to my appointment. In spite of my best effort to cancel, they told me they would charge me a 75 dollar cancellation fee. Pretty outrageous for a company that that is soooo booked up if you do not reserve your appointments 3-4weeks a head of desired schedule has to put you on a waiting list. Now what exactly is a waiting list, but an opportunity for them to book you ASAP while no doubt charging cancellation fees while booking a replacement appointment! So let me make this EXTREMELY CLEAR. They had the entire afternoon to call the many patients they have on their waiting list to book the appointment. Case in point they called me once to take a cancellation appointment within much less than 24 hours. Are you people for real??? I suppose they would have preferred I put everyone at risk of catching my cold, since in order to get whatever breath I could in and out of my system a mask would have been impossible to perform the exercises. So I guess they would rather get the entire staff and other patients sick rather than waive their cancellation fee. Let's be clear here; This is is a case of profit over treatment. They'll charge you a cancellation fee, then turn around and book your cancelled slot and make even more money that way. So I showed up signed in for my appointment PAID the co-payment, and walked out, cancelling myself from the waiting and they STILL called me to let me know they would charge me the cancellation fee. Pretty gutsy. BUT WAIT.. THERE IS MORE!! And I guess I am not the only one who has experienced the other shenanigans at MOTI. While my allocated physical therapist was good, within 15 minutes of an appointment, I was passed on to an assistant who may or may not have the proper training to assist in your treatment. A moot point anyway because the vast majority of the time they are not even close to you to pay attention to proper performing of your movement, which is vital for your healing (in my case, arthritis in both knees, with the right knee being particularly painful). At times, you'll find yourself looking around to get their attention. Need I say more? Naturally, they'll be more than happy to blow sunshine up your rear end, telling you how soo seriously they take your comments, but rest assured that they will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about any of them!

Mediocre medicine and a predatory billing scheme designed to extract money from injured,…read moreout-of-work patients while maintaining plausible deniability. This clinic charges a recurring $70/week fee for EDD disability certification. Their own staff confirmed it is a one-time administrative task, and said the recurring charge was "policy". What makes it even more brazen is that they also intended to collect this fee retroactively. California law prohibits providers from garnishing EDD benefits directly, and this clinic knows that. So instead they've constructed a cynical workaround: dress it up as "policy," charge it out of pocket, and bleed it from someone who is already injured, already unable to work, and already financially vulnerable. It is clearly not an administrative fee, it's shameful exploitation. The care itself was no better. Despite several visits, the pain increasingly got worse and two weeks later, we ended up in urgent care. My partner went in with what was almost certainly muscle damage from repetitive work at his job, which he shared with the clinic. They jumped straight to a misplaced rib diagnosis. They recommended heat and rest exclusively. Two subsequent providers told us they would not have jumped to the same conclusion without more telling indicators, and also instructed us to apply ice before heat in order to reduce swelling and inflammation. My partner asked several times about rehabilitative exercises, and each time he was told rest was the only option. The second chiropractor and urgent care physician we saw both provided exercises immediately. This clinic misdiagnosed, mistreated, and then tried to financially exploit a vulnerable patient. Avoid.

Sharon is fantastic. I initially went to see her because I knew I was carrying around lots of…read moretension that was sucking away all my energy and leaving me sore and achey. I had read up on AT and how a teacher can teach you to walk, stand, breathe, sit, and just overall move better. Sharon has totally changed the way I move my body, and even how I use my camera for my videography work. While the biggest physical change has been in my energy levels (so so much better now), the most profound one was in noticing just how much anger and tension I have been carrying around. There were multiple sessions where a bunch of deep seated anger came up, and she noticed it right away and handled it with such compassion and kindness. I had massive releases of anger after those sessions that have left me much more peaceful. She has such a beautiful presence and is so incredibly patient. She also loves to laugh and be a goofball which makes the sessions so enjoyable. The biggest takeaway I want to share is trust the process. It all sounds kinda wonky learning how to move/breathe/sit differently at first, and if you are like me, the magic might not happen until halfway through, so don't give up on yourself. It will be worth it. She has given me the foundation I needed to continue to make progress in all areas of my life. Thank you, Sharon!

I resisted working with her virtually when Covid began, but after I tried it I was surprised at how helpful and effective this was too. I don't think it's any less effective than the in-person sessions. Actually, in some ways it is better because I don't have to take the time to drive to her studio.

She is a wealth of dietary knowledge as well. At our first appointment, she pointed out that a lot of my symptoms indicated I might have a gluten allergy, and after one month of going gluten-free, I actually feel remarkably better (more energetic, less joint pain and overall tenderness) and I've gone for the first month of my adult life without a migraine. Yay! If you want to feel better, don't wait: schedule an appointment now. Your health is worth the money.
