    I first came to Progressive Motion because of a long-standing knee injury that had been bothering…read moreme for years. I never really considered seeing a physical therapist until I started working with Dr. Joey, and I'm so glad I did. During my sessions, we worked through targeted exercises and drills, along with cupping therapy, to improve my mobility and reduce pain. Dr. Joey took the time to educate me on the root causes of my issues and provided video demonstrations of exercises I could continue doing at home. Over time, I noticed a significant improvement in my range of motion and a reduction in pain, especially with everyday activities like bending down and picking things up from the floor. Now that Dr. Joey and Dr. Josh have opened their new facility in Redwood City, I've been able to continue my strength training while also rehabbing my knee in their gym. What really sets Progressive Motion apart is the integrated approach they offer. Not only do you have access to exceptional physical therapy, but there are also in-house personal trainers available to help guide you through your workouts. The entire staff is incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and supportive. Whether you have questions about exercise form, movement mechanics, or injury prevention, there is always someone available to help. It's reassuring to know you're surrounded by Licensed massage therapists, physical therapists, and personal trainers/strength coaches who share a common philosophy. As well as, individuals who genuinely care about helping you move and feel better. I highly recommend Progressive Motion to anyone looking for physical therapy, injury recovery, or simply a supportive environment to improve their strength and overall movement quality.

    I grew up in Palo Alto but live in New York now and had a total knee replacement in early November…read moreafter decades of competitive soccer. I saw Dr. Greg for three weeks when I was home for the holidays and am so glad I found him. Unlike most PT practices that require their therapists to juggle multiple patients at once, Dr. Greg is a one-man shop who spends the ENTIRE session with you. And he's excellent-- kind of a walking encyclopedia of human anatomy. When I got back to Brooklyn, my surgeon and PT here were both impressed by my progress. I've already connected Dr. Greg with a former teammate who is also slated for a TKR . Highly recommended!

    Strongly recommend. I'll share an update once I've had more time with the treatment plan, but I was…read moreso impressed after just one session that I wanted to leave a review. As a dance teacher, I know how important it is to find a PT you can rely on -- Greg absolutely stands out in that regard. From the start, Greg struck the perfect balance between personal and professional. He immediately put me at ease, and it's obvious how knowledgeable and thoughtful he is. He genuinely cares -- not just about symptoms, but about your overall progress and long-term well-being. He took the time to really listen to my concerns, questions, and medical history, and approached everything with patience and care. I've been dealing with persistent hip pain for a year. While resting and seeing a couple other PTs helped, the pain never fully went away. I came to Greg wanting to understand why it was still lingering and how to prevent it from coming back. Even when I struggled to explain things clearly, he asked the right questions and guided the conversation toward uncovering the issue. He quickly identified the source of the problem while still taking the time to look at contributing factors elsewhere in my body. One quick tip for first-timers: when you enter the complex from the front, go inward and slightly to the right. It's not directly under the clinic sign (which threw me off), but it's easy to find once you've been there once!

The billing is based on the doctor's CPT codes, so that means they can bill you anything and you won't know the total payment until receiving the invoice. You don't have any choice to decide if you would like to go to the appointment based on the cost before going. I went to my first appointment and thought it was just finding my issues and the causes. The provider was Tanvi Mamtora. During the appointment, I was asked to do all kinds of the postures and tests to identify my problems. I was billed Manual Ther Tech 1+Regions - 97140 (CPT®) $175.00 and Pt Eval Low Complex 20 Min - 97161 (CPT®)$374.00 And the doctor was asking me to practice certain movements to do it at home everyday. I thought that was a demonstration but I was billed as Therapeutic Exercises Ea 15 Min - 97110 (CPT®) $178.00. If I know they charge like this, I never would like to go to the appointment. I rather use the money to Yoga or Pilates class since the fee is more reasonable and effective to cure my issue. I am trying to disputing the bill and I feel it is like a long path full of troubles. I have to back and forward to call/chat the insurance company and message/call PAMF billing. They said based on their internal research, the codes are all correct and ask me to appeal the claim again if I don't agree. It is still ongoing issue. I wish this review can help people who just got referral to see the physical therapy. Please be aware of it.

His goal is for his clients to become independent in the gym which scared me at first, but I am so grateful for. I appreciated how Vien took the time to explain exercises and their benefits all in basic human language :) Vien also was a huge help in assisting with rehabbing an injury I had sustained. His vast knowledge in fitness and physical therapy was able to shine (and this was before he completed undergrad!) Despite his great knowledge then, I could see his thirst for more. He is someone who is constantly striving for more knowledge because he knows he can always be better. Anyone would be lucky to be trained/treated by Vien. He is the best!

    Although the staff and PTs were super friendly and helpful DURING my rehab visits, I have to say I…read moream sorely disappointed by the way the front office/admin handled the billing/payment upon my graduation from rehab (I graduated from rehab 3 months ago). They have had my payment information on file, and was charging it post-visit, which made sense to me. However, 3 months later after I graduated from rehab, I have been slammed with 2 billing statements, with the most recent one being almost $500. When I called the office yesterday, they told me someone by the name of Jasmine handles billing, so they could not help me. When I called her, I was fwded to her voicemail. Today, I called Jasmin again, and was again fwded to her voicemail. Again, I called Cal rehab office confused today (5/16 at 10:15am) because my card payment transaction states that I've been paying per-visit, I told them they have my payment on file, so was confused as to why it looked like I had an outstanding balance. To which, the receptionist/front desk I was talking to said "oh so do you want me to just run your credit card?" This was extremely inappropriate, why would I want you to run my card again when I am communicating that this has already been paid, to my knowledge? Update: I called again and thankfully jasmine, the billing specialist, was available and helped me out by giving me a breakdown and was very helpful in explaining the copay vs deductible. I would've appreciated if the front desk at Cal Rehab was more transparent about how payment worked and estimated cost because being charged $65 was very different from the real balance of $300 per session per deductible so I could anticipate this cost. It was fine for me because I'm fortunate enough to be have the resources to fulfill the payment, but others may not be so fortunate and could've been in a financially strained situation because they weren't upfront about the anticipated payment. Patients beware.

Getting a home program that requires equipment that I have stated I do not have is not practical. In addition, home programs should be tested prior to being assigned for home -- this did not happen and the exercises hurt me. I was patient, I was assertive, and then when I wrote a negative YELP review, they did wanted to discuss the review rather than solve the problems. I switched to a different provider and thankfully was back in the land of normal, sane, polite, effective therapy, with ZERO complaints.
