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. read more

Unfortunately first review is not showing - thanks Yelp! I worked for about 6 months last year with Kirk and Katie - they are the best. Thanks guys for helping me get back to my sport. Can't recommend this place enough. Therapists are super knowledgeable and help educate you about your body. read more

They severely injured me due to their factory like method of packing patients in. You only see a real therapist at the top of your session for a short chat, then you are pawned off on very young, inexperienced and overwhelmed assistants that are juggling 3 patients at a time doing their exercises. On more than one occasion they got my care wrong. The first time the assistant asked me to do something I knew was wrong and I pushed back and it was later confirmed the assistant was mistaken and had I followed him blindly I could have severely injured myself. But the last time I trusted the assistant and she put me in an exercises that re-tore the very ligament in my ankle that I had repaired, resulting in what looks like thousands of more dollars of surgery, lost wages and another yet year of my life trying to walk again. I cannot warn you enough!!! The people are nice but the system is dangerous and you're paying for a real therapist and instead getting inexperienced kids overseeing your therapy. For your own safety avoid this place! read more

I love this place. I came here last year for a torn meniscus. Traci healed me and then some. My son hurt his knee and he sees Kirk! He is great. Honestly anyone you see here will do you good. I feel stronger. New location is in Highland park and I see Ann she is fantastic! read more

MOTI Physiotherapy - Physical Therapy Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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. read more

Seeing as I rely heavily on yelp reviews, I think it only fair to leave reviews for exceptional service. I visited Lindsay Brunner for pelvic floor help after the birth of my first child and she was fantastic. She made me feel comfortable and listened to and after 12 sessions or so, I resolved my symptoms 100%. We worked together during year one of the pandemic, and she was very accommodating when I wanted to switch to at home sessions (aka virtual). I also found the front desk to be lovely and never had any issues scheduling or with billing, etc. read more

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! read more

Traci has been my primary physical therapist and she is just the best. She has both charisma and professionalism. For anyone who has injuries this is where to go. But keep in mind they will make you work as they believe that motion is lotion!! It's located in Los Feliz and has plenty of free parking which is ideal as plenty of places charge for parking. The space is massive and equipment it perfect. The assistants that help you also are great and are what I call "form police" Def . Recommend this place! read more

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. read more

I've been working with my therapist Kirk for about 3 weeks now. He is fantastic! I give MOTI a 5 Star rating! I am 59 years old and a former competitive athlete who has had her share of injuries, (and physical therapy). I've been to PT at 3 separate PT facilities before MOTI. By far, MOTI is the best! My physical therapist (Kirk) spends quality time with me on each and every visit. He is knowledgeable and seems to really care and want to help. He both challenges me and motivates me. Plus, the aides that work with me on the exercises are diligent, thoughtful and competent. The staff at the front desk are friendly and very helpful. MOTI is very clean. There are bathrooms, changing rooms, showers and lockers. And, a water dispenser so we can stay hydrated throughout the PT session. There is a free parking lot adjacent to the building. Two thumbs up for Kirk and MOTI! (I would give a three thumbs up review if I had a third thumb). read more

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! read more

Nancy Wong is a magician. I never knew how much I would look look forward to my physical therapy session. She methodically evaluated my trigger areas and helped me piece together how they are all related. Her sessions were packed with helpful information and she made sure I had an understanding of each exercise, also how to change problematic movements/behaviors I was doing in my day to day life. It was truly a unique experience. The whole team at MOTI is professional and welcoming. read more

I have been to a few places for PT over the years, but MOTI is the first place where I have gotten a well rounded rehab from foot surgery. My mobility is better and I also have a better understanding of how to get strong and heal. Traci is a skilled and personable therapist who has helped me so much after an intense foot surgery. I'm grateful to Traci and to MOTI. read more

I had such a positive experience working with Eddie and his aid James. I had a fractured ankle and Eddie was instrumental in getting me back to where I was before the injury. He was knowledgeable and really took his time with me. It's also a great facility- very clean, great equipment. Easy parking in their lot was definitely a bonus! read more

MOTI is wonderful. I was sold when I saw one of their top priorities in addition to providing great healthcare was that they were doing so in a safe, respectful, welcoming environment. After years of dealing with unsympathetic doctors, this was so refreshing. I worked with Dr Rhoda who has a wide range of knowledge, is so professional, and made me feel so safe and comfortable in her care. She was amazing and helped me so much. Everybody here has been as kind as they are knowledgeable. I've worked with several great people including Mandy, Candace, Diana, Tippi, Vartan, Ivan, and those are just the aides I spent more time with. Communication is great. They helped me develop better exercise habits, and greatly helped me with the issue I was there for. They help with a wide range of things. If you're willing to do the work, the support you get here is truly excellent. read more

I just wanted to share my experience here because most of the reviews are great, and I had a pretty awful experience here. I spent six months working on an injury without making any headway - my questions were mostly ignored, and I was never assessed properly to begin with. I was passed on to a new PT, and when I explained the situation, he literally rolled his eyes at the work the other PT had done. Still didn't assess me much, didn't explain much. I was able to spend a few hours online looking through my symptoms, diagnosing myself, and got a personal trainer who helped me way more than the people at MOTI did. Hundreds of dollars down the drain. Plus, my grandfather died during the end of my time with them, and when I called to cancel my appointment 23 hours beforehand, they sent me a bill for $75. Lastly, the people who work at the desk clearly hate working there and say hello without looking up at you, and then ignore you. This place sucks, I would highly recommend going somewhere else. read more

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! read more

Moti has helped me overcome a long-term, painful hip injury. I can't say enough good things about them and their facility, and in particular Fei, the therapist I've worked with for the last several months. First, their location is convenient and walkable to most people in Los Feliz. If you need to drive, they have free parking. They run on-time and have never kept me waiting. In general, the staff is helpful and respectful. Moti feels different than most of Los Angeles's medical offices. Their facilities are clean and hygienic. Fei is a gem. She's determined and patient. She listens carefully so she can problem solve. She's evolved my treatment over months as I progress, neither making me go too slowly or too quickly. During the quarantine, we worked together safely over Zoom. Her attention never waived. Fei and Moti have legitimately changed my life for the better and allowed me to live pain-free again. There's no better review I can give than that. read more

I'm getting older and everything is starting to break-down. The arthritis in my knees was causing enough pain that my doctor recommended physical therapy. It was the best medicine I have ever been prescribed. My physical therapist, Megan, is terrific. She's figured out and explained the bad habits in my posture and walk that are exacerbating my existing arthritis. After only 2 months, I am seeing such a difference. I can get through most of a work day without pain, as opposed to the 3-4 hours that were my "normal." After working with me, Megan sets me up with interns to go through stretches and exercises. The interns are all terrific and will be wonderful assets when they are fully trained. In the meantime, Megan is quick to jump in, explain, or adjust if they have overlooked something. Although she's always very busy and deeply involved with each client, I never feel as if I am being rushed through. Each session feels as if I am receiving full attention and focused care. And it's working! I have less pain, greater mobility and am building strength where I need it. I am very grateful for the work they do here at MOTI. read more

I've just finished a six week physical therapy plan with Jake at Moti in Los Feliz. I had an ankle injury and he helped me enormously, not just with the ankle but with an arthritis problem that it's been bothering me for years. At the end of our work, I feel stronger, steadier and much more confident, about my injury and also about my physical abilities in general. There are trainers who help with exercises and for me, Jack and Ryan were good instructors and also kind, especially in those frequent moments when I doubted myself. I feel world's better but I'll miss the good company of Jake and his co-workers. From the front desk to the work mat, the Moti folks are super nice. read more

I ruptured my quad tendon in April 2021 and after my surgery - was given a prescription by my surgeon for PT, very standard. I wish they would have given prescriptions for therapy too - for both myself and the physiotherapists. MOTI employs some of the most lethargic and unsupportive PT's - and mine was the worst, Gregory Moy. Very lackluster, couldn't motivate anyone to save his life. Boring PT that did not push me - we literally did the same exercises for weeks - and he would only "pop" in for 10-15mins before handing me off. The air of arrogance around him reeked! Aside from not being happy with my team, I was mentally not prepared for a fall that incapacitated me and kept me from walking and life and through me into a Great Depression. The MOTI team is more worried about making a buck. If you miss a session - $75!!! PAY $75!!! No, are you okay? How can we get you in today or this week? Greg was the worst - and I am happy to be rid of them. I am doing much better with my own private PT. But I was literally going 2x a week at $135/session - they were making bank with the churn and cash-in mind-set. The audacity that I or anyone else severely injured wouldn't want to go to PT - you were FORCED or pay the $75. Awful. I hope MOTI becomes more enlightened one of these days - until then...AVOID. read more

The care was fine..but the billing is atrocious and incompetent. They double charged my bank and Amex, and could not figure out how to bill my insurance. They send me bills constantly for services received and PAID FOR two years ago, and despite repeated calls and emails, they cannot and will not rectify. It is harassment and I am considering further action. Do NOT go here, unless you pay cash, as their billing is unethical. read more

Wow what a place, no where can you find a better group of skilled professionals who will help you through all your pain body needs. I've been a client of MOTI on and off over the years, as I've had continuous back problems and as a result have had to have to minor surgeries, every time they've nurtured me back to health. A special thanks to Megan, who I've had the luxury of working with over the years ( first at axis in downtown LA ) She also spends the time to address the underlying issues, and she is literally the nicest person you could know and work with. I can't recommend MOTI enough for any spine, joint and general body physical therapy rejuvenation you might need. Thanks again for all help over this long journey. Btw, Megan's pretty much a celebrity in the field, no matter which specialist I go to, they always ask if I've see Megan at MOTI, which I'm not surprised at ALL. read more

MOTI is the best. I've been to TONS of PT throughout my life and have never received better care. Katie has been my PT on and off for 3 years, and she has helped me get back to playing competitive soccer after a car accident, a contact injury, and a couple of overuse injuries. She cares about my goals and has gotten me beyond the fitness level I came to her with. I'm definitely physically the strongest I've ever been and can work with her to fine-tune anything any time. I love Katie, but I would trust any PT at MOTI. read more

I did their Mom Strong program, which was focused on building strength and learning the correct ways to move your body/workout postpartum. Megan, who led the classes, was so great in showing us how to do these new strength building exercises and also how to implement them easily at home. She took time with every person to correct their positions and show us how our bodies are supposed to look and feel to get the most out of each exercise. The class was 6 weeks long and each class we progressed our abilities and stamina. By the end, I was able to hold poses/do reps that I did not think I could do, I definitely noticed an increase in my strength! I would recommend this program to any new Mom who doesn't know where to start in getting back to feeling like "yourself". Because it's not just about getting back your original body, you want to feel strong and capable in your NEW body, and MOTI and Megan were really integral in helping me get there. read more

I am a HUGE fan of MOTI! I wish I could go everyday!! I am a professional dancer, teacher, choreographer and visited MOTI first to have Dr. NICK CUTRI work with me on my hip mobility, stability, and strength. After being in AWE of his knowledge on the body, especially an athletes body, and his approach to treatment, and preventative care, I wanted him to work with me on EVERYTHING! He is the first person I think of when I have any questions about the body, and the first person I recommend when asked by my students where to go when injured or to prevent injury. Nick Cutri and his team truly care about you getting better, not about getting you back in the door. They take their time creating a program for you to work on at home, stepping you through the execution of every exercise in the program, and answering all the questions you have. The facility is beautiful! The equipment is innovative and clean. The location is perfect, not to mention FREE PARKING! I also got my husband hooked, who is not a dancer! This place is for anyone looking to take care of their body, and take control over how they feel! read more

I recently fractured my shoulder and was referred to MOTI. It is a wonderful, spotlessly clean facility with lots of room and a hard-working front desk staff. After my consultation, we got right to work on day one! At each session, your therapist will check your muscles for the progress you're making (or not making) and then get you started on a handful of exercises. The therapists are friendly, but they know when you're not working hard enough and will give you a little encouragement. Then, at home, you can log into their website and review videos of your exercises while you workout. Concerning the therapists: Fei is simply the best in the business, but Cindy, Andrew and everyone that I've worked with are dedicated and knowledgeable professionals. I'm still hard at work, but my shoulder will soon be back to normal, thanks to MOTI. I highly recommend this facility and its staff. read more

I have arthritis in both knees and was feeling somewhat hobbled. Working with the excellent therapists at MOTI -- Nickon and Fei -- has made a huge difference in terms of strength, stamina and agility. To be honest, I wasn't looking forward to going to P.T., but they really helped me develop a program that works for me. I worked most closely with Fei, who is very personable, knowledgeable and patient. In fact, everyone at MOTI is professional and welcoming. Highly recommended! read more

I had a rotator cuff and bicep tenodesis surgery a year ago and I'm thrilled to say that after a full year of physical therapy, Dr. Lindsay Brunner at MOTI Physiotherapy helped me to reach close to my full range of motion and level of strength that I had before my surgery. My shoulder was very stiff and in a lot of pain post surgery, so I didn't think this was going to be possible but after the therapy, stretching, and strengthening program Lindsay laid out for me, I'm feeling much better. I wouldn't have had this successful outcome had it not been for Lindsay's skill, intelligence, and understanding. Lindsay was more than just a PT, she really encouraged me to stay positive and address any pain issues so that we could work together to move past any challenges. I still have a way to go but I'm diligent about my home exercise program. My steady recovery is really a testament to Lindsay's skill and talent. The physical therapy aides are very kind, encouraging, and helpful too. They made sure I was moving through my exercises safely and thoughtfully. The front desk staff is helpful and friendly and always helped coordinate a schedule that worked for me. I highly recommend MOTI, and thank you so much, Lindsay! read more

There is no other physical therapy group I trust more than MOTI, and I am so thankful that they finally opened their doors in Los Feliz! As a s a professional dancer and choreographer, I rely heavily on my physical body for work. After I sustained a bad MCL pull (ligament in the knee) AND ankle sprain this last July, I knew I needed to find some professional help. I initially went to another physical therapy clinic, but was very underwhelmed by how they handled my case. I could tell they weren't used to working with professional athletes. I didn't want to waste my time or money, and sought recommendations from my peers. I was directed to Dr. Cutri at MOTI, and after my first visit was immediately impressed by his breadth of knowledge. He took his time to understand how my injuries affected me, and created specific exercises to address weaknesses that exacerbated my pain. He also gave me a sequence of exercises to do at home to help strengthen my muscles and to prevent further injury. The facility itself is really clean and welcoming. It's equipped with all the latest machines/accessories you could think of at a PT clinic. The added bonus is the parking lot attached, which is a rarity here in LA. Overall, I give Dr. Cutri and MOTI five stars for his excellent treatment and the excellent facilities. Whatever it is you're recovering from and whatever level of physical activity you are used to, I am confident that this PT clinic will facilitate a speedy and safe recovery process. read more

I have been to multiple physical therapists and the team at Moti was the only place that was able to heal my knee pain. They took the time to understand my body and created a custom routine that did the trick. Highly recommended. read more

I had a really encouraging experience working with Kasia for postpartum support/pelvic floor PT. She played a meaningful role in my physical recovery, as well as being someone I could trust with my emotional experience of becoming a Mom (during a global pandemic). She had a sensitive approach and was always available to listen and hold space without judgement. I also really enjoyed working with the assistant Victor over at the Highland Park location. read more

The worst PT ever! The staff is extremely rude. The physical therapist was very good, but dealing with such a bad attitude on the phone wasn't worth it. The staff seems young and unprofessional. They weren't knowledgeable about the process. Very disappointing! read more

One of the best physical therapy businesses. Very clean and the staff is athletic and friendly.

I was hit in the knuckles by a foul ball at a baseball game and broke my hand. Being an artist, this was my worst nightmare come true and was in a very scary situation of not being able to work. I was given a prescription for Physical Therapy by my hand doctor and found MOTI Physiotherapy based on the wonderful reviews. It's an absolutely wonderful place and I highly recommend it to anyone! I've been seeing Ann Nguyen DeGrey, who has been kind, funny, and made me feel very comfortable in a hugely stressful and frightening situation. The results have been great - I'm strong enough to lift weights now and she has given me great tips and exercises to do at home without having to buy a ton of really expensive equipment. I don't think I could have asked for a better experience! read more

Love love love this place. Really experienced doctors and assistants that really focus on your recovery. I had Dr. Ahrold for roughly 4 months and the care she gave me was amazing. She was solely focused on my health and recovery, took time and listened. I don't want to get hurt again but if I do, I'll go to her without a doubt. The assistants were also amazing. Ivan, Rebecca, Ryan and co. payed attention, not letting the slightest cheat get by. Couldn't recommend this place any more. read more

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. read more

I don't know why it's taken me so long to write this review, but I LOVE Moti. I tore my ACL end of last year and had the patellar replacement at the beginning of the year. I was so nervous about physiotherapy but after the first two sessions I started looking forward to going to Moti. The environment is uplifting, everyone is warm and welcoming. I've loved all the therapists and aids I've worked with. Megan, Traci, and Daniel are all wonderful PT's.. but my schedule worked with one, so this shoutout goes to Daniel for being so patient with me, and motivating! I can be pretty stubborn, but he's definitely found a good balance for me that is working (needless to say recovery is going very well). I'm forever grateful to all of the staff at Moti! read more

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. read more

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. Scheduling is easy. 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! They give you a home program too, and I was good about following that, which is very important! 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. I had back pain and abdominal pain. Now, my pain has plummeted down to 0-2 and my hip moves freely and I never have back pain. I can feel how strong my core muscles are, it's almost like being In a different body. THANK YOU DR. RHODA AND MOTI! read more
