Working with Nusheen Okamoto is the best! She is very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable right away. Highly recommend.

It's ALL in the name! After suffering from multiple injuries, I found that place that would help me recover and get back to my daily routine... In Motion O.C. I was unsure of how things would turn out. So, I put faith in action, walked through the door stiff and eager to find relief several days a week and got connected with my P.T Reena! She's the truth! This place is filled with trained professionals ready to work with skill, knowledge and the perfect touch! Reena and her team will have you feeling like someone hears you and concerned about the person not just another patient. Take my advice, Run if you can, DON'T-walk! or just set an appointment asap! Thank me later:) read more

I can't continue to say enough good things about Madi M. and Andrew at In Motion OC in Irvine. They're always incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my progress. Madi does an amazing job explaining the "why" behind my plan, which really helps me stay motivated and confident in the process. Andrew brings positivity to every session and knows exactly how to push just enough while still making sure I'm safe and comfortable. What really stands out is how personalized the care feels. They take the time to listen, adjust, and make sure I'm improving each visit. The whole environment is positive and encouraging, which makes a huge difference when working through recovery. If you are looking for a physical therapist business that truly cares and know what they're doing, I highly recommend In Motion OC. Everyone is great there and in my experience with Madi M. and Andrew, I've been in great hands! read more

I've been going to In Motion for almost a year for different issues and I really enjoy being in the company of such a friendly, professional, and all around great team of physical therapists and aids. My absolute favorite is Nusheen. She is very personable, smart, and kind. She's been helping me strengthen and understand my body. I would highly recommend her! read more

In Motion OC claims to be the highest-rated physical therapy in Orange County, but does it live up to the hype? I visited in August 2025 for cervical radiculopathy after a neurosurgeon referral due to worsening neck pain, especially on my left side, though my right side also had issues. Pain radiated from my neck to my shoulder on the left and into the scalene muscle on the right. The virtual front desk was a unique touch. You check in via video chat, scanning your insurance card and ID, which is processed remotely. It's fancy but feels odd, though convenient for remote staff. My initial evaluation was with Lina Ha. She identified tight neck muscles and poor shoulder internal rotation, confirming my suspicions. However, despite emailing my MRI and X-ray results beforehand, they weren't shared with her, so I had to resend them during the appointment--a frustrating admin oversight. Lina prescribed exercises and stretches to improve posture, noting weak postural muscles and tight neck, traps, and shoulders. In Motion's app was a highlight, offering video examples of exercises, real-time updates, and a daily achievement system. You can also schedule appointments and message your therapist, though rescheduling requires calling, and responses to messages take 1-2 days, sometimes longer. Scheduling with Lina was tough due to my 40-hour workweek, so I alternated with Dr. Christian. Both adjusted manual therapy well, but communication between therapists was poor. Dr. Christian admitted he didn't know my case as well as Lina, and exercises he prescribed weren't shared with her or updated in the app. This lack of coordination was frustrating. My cervical radiculopathy improved slightly, likely due to exercises and an epidural steroid injection from my pain management doctor. However, new shoulder and upper back pain emerged, possibly from a rotator cuff issue or impingement (awaiting MRI approval). Exercises involving arm movement worsened this pain, affecting my ability to use a computer mouse. Lina eventually reduced my exercises to every other day, focusing on those that didn't trigger pain, and introduced cupping, which helped. Dr. Christian later adjusted therapy for tingling in my pinky, possibly from ulnar nerve sensitivity. Despite these adjustments, I often left sessions in more pain. Only my final session, where Dr. Christian used a neck traction device after chest-opening stretches, left me feeling better. Frustratingly, this wasn't tried until my 12th session, and Dr. Christian was unaware of my cervical disc herniations, despite my submitted MRI. I question whether In Motion's standard approach--minimal therapist time and reliance on aides--failed to monitor my progress closely. Advice on computer posture, critical for my issues, was given only twice in two months. Most sessions focused on exercises I could do at home, some of which worsened my pain. In Motion's aides are nice but juggle multiple patients and tasks, leaving me waiting. This is typical of PT places but disappointing for a "top-rated" facility. A perk was 50% off my first massage with Annette Nolasco, which was decent but not worth full price compared to other options. In Motion is fine for single, acute injuries but struggles with complex cases. If you need one-on-one attention to avoid exacerbating issues, look elsewhere. After two months, I'm switching to a place offering dedicated therapist time. In Motion feels like a polished but ultimately standard PT experience--more zoo than personalized care. read more

Nikki is the best physical therapist I've ever met! She is incredibly professional and truly knows what she's doing. She pays close attention to every movement and makes sure my posture and form are correct during each exercise. I came in with severe lower back pain that felt unbearable, but after her treatment and guidance, I experienced immediate relief. I was amazed by how much better I felt in such a short time. Nikki is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely cares about her patients' recovery. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional physical therapist! read more

I enjoy going to In-Motion O.C. for my physical therapy and pain control. My Therapist, Jessica Leimkuler-Buus developed a personalized Aqua workout that is specific to my injuries. With Jessica's guidance the aqua program has been a lifesaver and has helped me to improve my quality of life without constant pain. I would highly recommend Jessica and In-Motion O.C. for any and all physical therapy needs. Please check them out, you will not regret it! Wendy Portillo read more

I highly recommend everyone to book with Nusheen. read more

I've been coming to In Motion for about 6 months now both 4 months pre surgery and then 2 months now post. In that time I've seen many great Physical Therapist at In Motion. I've been working with Nikki for the last two months post shoulder surgery and making excellent progress. Nikki is always caring and supportive providing excellent exercises to help my recovery and there to provide hands on manual therapy in addition to guiding me through different exercises insuring I'm doing them correctly and maintaining proper form. Highly recommend Nikki and any and all the PTs at InMotion. read more

the entire care team is the absolute best! They truly have taking great care of me through my knee recovery, pre and post surgery, always thinking of creative ways to help me advance in my recovery.

The entire aide team as well is so supportive - I cannot recommend this place enough!!!! read more

I am going to In Motion OC for some PT for my hip and I am glad my insurance suggested this structure. The location is big, sorry, brought and clean. Everything is well maintained and they have plenty of room, equipment and staff, everybody is really great, in particular, Nikki has worked with me a few times and she has golden hands and tries to get the best exercises and care for my case. But all the therapists are knowledgeable, kind and polite. I highly recommend this structure for PT. read more

In Motion O.C. has been an amazing experience. It's always great to see other rugby players and what's great is that there are TWO at In Motion! I fractured my right hand a couple months ago, and was nervous to go back to rugby afterwards. But, Madi gave me the confidence to get back on the field! She is kind, supportive, and very fun to talk to. The staff are also so chill and friendly, making sure that you get your exercises done. I also worked with Nikki a few times and she was great too! Anyways, thank you to all the staff at In Motion O.C., you guys are the best read more

The Pts and Aide are amazing and caring there! I really like Reane she does a great job!!

I didn't expect physical therapy to become the highlight of my week, but thanks to Dr. Lina at In Motion O.C., here we are. Dr. Lina is truly exceptional. She is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely cares in her patients' progress. She somehow manages to push you just enough while still making the whole process feel encouraging (and even a little fun). Thanks to her, my recovery improved more than I expected, and I always left sessions feeling better than when I walked in. Grateful for her dedication and highly recommend her to anyone needing physical therapy! read more

Very clean location and trainers are wonderful. It is a family vibe for sure. It was my first time back working out in months and they are always welcoming read more

Nikki is great. She is personable, patient, informative and caring'. I always feel better after my treatments.

Of the many physical therapy places I've had to go to, In Motion O.C. tops the bunch by a long shot. After MPFL surgery, I could barely lift my leg up. In just a few short months, a couple months before the timeline my surgeon set up for me, I was able to start jogging and running again. I'd like to especially shoutout Nikki, who's the most responsible for my recovery. She explains every exercise in detail and clearly outlines my progression path. Overall, if I had to pick, I'd go back to In Motion O.C. and work with Nikki 10/10 times. read more

after 18 visits they charged me $50 no show fee that happened the only time I suffered a new injury. they are great for back pain but id not have that so the 18 visits did not address my ankle sprain. also had a rude female therapist one time but Madi and Christian were great. read more

My doctor referred me here initially for a torn meniscus. I went to the Fountain Valley location. At first I was really high on the experience. Loved the virtual check in and the fact you got videos of your exercises which you could use as you practiced at home. I found the therapist was extremely personable. I quickly felt my knee was fairly stable but noticed the placement on the table for my meniscus therapy was bothering preexisting lower back issues so my doctor changed the prescription from meniscus to lower back. Unfortunately, the back therapy made my back worse! I clearly discussed with the therapist the back pain generated on the table in the meniscus sessions. Despite the input, the first thing he did was put me on the table and used a strap to raise my legs, which caused intense pain which took significant time to recover from. The assistant who took over for half of each session did not routinely demonstrate exercises. When the assistant did explain, her verbal prompts were less than concise. I found this part of the appointment stressful as I wasn't sure I was doing things correctly. I now see a personal trainer elsewhere, who is not a physical therapist, he's located in a gym. He is able to avoid inflicting back pain which has enabled me to benefit from lots of stretching and incrementally greater weight lifting exercises. The gym trainer demonstrates each exercise, without prompting, until it's clear I have a familiarity with the routine. His tone is upbeat and attentive to the progress being made. Given the mostly high In Motion ratings, perhaps my experience is atypical. I'm a senior and may require more demonstrative repetition than a younger person. It could very well be a better fit for you than it was for me. read more

Maddi and Nikki are fantastic! They take the time to truly understand what's going on and any problem areas, are super compassionate, and are genuinely invested in providing the best care tailored to each person. read more

From the first day I walked in they have always listened to me. On that first day, Nusheen asked me what I was feeling in conjunction with what the doctor wrote to focus on the right treatment plan. She and her team ask every time how I'm doing and adjust my treatments to my ability and needs. I'm showing improvement but not there yet. I would recommend In Motion to anyone seeking PT. read more

I'm a true believer in IMOC Fitness! I've been coming to every class since the soft opening and I could not be more of a believer of the coach's expertise and my body's transformation. They are trained to help with fitness and rehabilitation training. Two very big differences and I came to IMOC Fitness with a back injury and every class they help me to modify the movements to strengthen the specifics of my back injury. I am six weeks in and my lower back pain has decreased, and I have not thrown my back out. my body is stronger and my body is already transforming.

In Motion is the jewel of Orange County. It is so much better than other physical therapy workshops for a very specific reason, the people who work there. Jeff, the owner, values others who work for him. This is a people business, and therefore, it needs to be people centered. I remember as a teacher, one of my favorite quotes about teaching is, "it's not what you say, it is how you make them feel, and that is your legacy." Everyone who works at In Motion strives to make their clients happy and comfortable, and they do. This is a special place. read more

I've been seeing Lina and Nusheen after dislocating my knee at a concert, and they have been nothing but incredible. They're kind, knowledgeable, and friendly. They explain everything in a way that actually makes sense and always set me up for success with day to day movement and strengthening. I leave every session feeling supported and a little more confident in my body. Plus, we always share a good laugh! Truly grateful for both of them. read more

I have really enjoyed my sessions at In Motion. This is a very good PT place and I felt so at ease with my physical therapist Lina Ha who helped me improve so much. I really like the remote receptionists here who are so friendly! And also like that this office has a gym, showers and personal trainers and they also have massage therapy and even cupping! It's so unusual for a PT place to have it all read more

I did not recommend this location to anyone that's seeking physical therapy. Office staff is poorly managed. It's had been over three weeks since the date of the request has been made for physical therapy and I have not received any response related to my request. Office staff has seemingly held the welcome packet and application as hostage until they're able to fully verify insurance liability. This is a turn off to any customer in need of services . After making several attempts to resolve this matter, I moved on to a different location that had the resources to make stuff happen! Office staff seems to be very unprofessional and they lack urgency, time management and communication skills which is needed to run a successful business! read more

Highly recommend coming here for your physical therapy needs. I have been working with both Lina and Nusheen and they have been amazing. I have made so much progress in the few weeks I have been here and look forward to making more progress. I must mention their bedside manner is amazing as well. Lastly, they are ALWAYS on time! If you need PT come here. You won't regret it! read more

I went to this facility specifically to see Alan Vogel. He was recommended by my orthopedic doctor and did not disappoint! Alan has soooo much experience and I enjoyed learning from him the science of physical therapy. He took time to explain to me the impact of different exercises. He approached my knee injury with a myriad of options, from strengthening exercises, to cupping, to massages and ASTYM. I also saw Andy several times and he was also great. Highly recommend this facility! read more

My wife had PT with Alan for her knee and raved about his expertise. So I also went to Alan for my adductor/ sports hernia injury. I had tried everything over a period of almost two years and nothing worked -- until I worked with Alan. After a few months I am back to fill activity. I can't thanks Alan enough. The other staff is also fantastic, especially Andy -- who tailored many of the exercises to my unique frame. 5 stars for sure for this facility. read more

I separated my shoulder AC joint in a MTB crash early this summer. I've been coming to In-Motion twice a week since and Alan Vogel has been awesome in guiding my rehab. Highly recommend! read more

This was my fourth round of PT with this company and was very happy the previous times hence coming back for a fourth round. But things have changed, they have switched to an impersonal check in process by speaking to someone remotely rather than in person. The remote person did not collect my copays on my visits but I figured they would send me a bill. No, that's not what they did. 2 days after my last appointment they thought the more appropriate action would be to have someone named Roseanne call MULTIPLE times in 3 hours. I couldn't understand the stalking over a $240 balance. On the third call in 3 hrs, I told her I would handle this after work. But apparently that was not good enough be because that day they without my permission they charge the balance to a credit card of mine, one I did not give them authorization to hold. The unprofessional behavior by their office staff/collection agent Roseanne and the unauthorized charges on my card has made me change my mind about returning to them after my surgery next month. Seek treatment at a more professional office! read more
