I tweaked my lower back earlier this year, and the injury kept me away from basketball and the weight room for at least 3 months. Landed oddly on a rebound and immediately felt something off in my right side lower back. I self-rehabbed at home, but couldn't get to a point where I had the confidence to lift or hoop confidently. I came to Progressive Motion hoping to assess my injury, gain the tools I needed to get back to hooping/lifting, and hopefully learn what I can do to prevent that injury in the future. Dr. Matt took good care of me, assessed my movement/jump, and gave me 4 drills to take back home and rebuild strength in my hips & lower back. It's been almost a month since my first appointment, and after doing these drills daily, I was able to get back on the court last weekend and run full-court 5s pain free. I'd highly recommend Progressive Motion for your physical therapy needs! Especially if you're a 'weekend warrior' hooper like me. Clean, state of the art facilities and the most cordial, knowledgeable professionals. Thank you PM team! read more

I first came to Progressive Motion because of a long-standing knee injury that had been bothering me 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. read more

I want to update my review from April 2015 . I am still with Dr.Joey Salgado , and so happy I retained him . He has helped over the years so much and I feel well taken care of. I still see him about twice a month . His knowledge of physical health is amazing . I can only recommend him and his staff to the highest level . read more

Brian evaluated and treated my 16 year old daughter with a recent sports injury. I was able to book an appointment right away. His evaluation and treatment skills are thorough and effective but more importantly, he was able to keep my 16 year old daughter engaged and laughing during the session. That's no easy task, iykyk. As a result, she was consistent with her home exercise program without me reminding her and that makes this entire household an even bigger fan of Progressive Motion. read more

Queene is a healer. This was my first time doing physical therapy and I feel embarrassed that I haven't done it after all these years. This review is a note to all of you to try it out. I learned more about my body in one session than anything I've learned from YouTube videos or AI in the past decade. We started the session off by going over my exercise and injury history. Then we went over what exercises I do and Queene chose a few of them that were likely causing me problems given my history. She has great experience and intuition about what's going on with my body. We went through the exercises and her intuition was right every single time. These exercises revealed imbalances between my left and right side that I had no idea about, and Queene helped adjust them with proper form and range of motion. She also added a few more exercises. All of this resulted in my body loosening up, with much better range of motion on my squat, and my lower back felt better after a previous tweak. Then, we did some massage and cupping, which was helpful for figuring out more things that were going on with my body. We finished with foam rolling to help address all of the issues that Queene found. At the end of the session, Queene asked if she could give me a hug. That tells you everything you need to know about the kind of person she is. I left the session impressed by Queene's depth of knowledge and her ability to give thoughtful feedback. Most importantly, her genuine care for others shined through--she took the time to educate me and help my body move better with less risk of injury. Her care for others extended beyond my session. When I was working out with a friend afterward, she took the time to teach him new movements and cues for his sports training. I can't say enough good things about Queene, Joey (the founder), and Progressive Motion as an organization. People there were friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. Fitness is one of the pillars of mental and physical health. Progressive Motion is the place to go to address all of your fitness needs. read more

Josh has been my whole family's Physical therapist. He is truly a healer! I feel so much more agile - have suffered from sciatic nerve for many years until I started my sessions with Josh. He has been my physical therapist and trainer for more than 10 years, thanks to him, at the age of 67 feel younger than when I was in my thirties! read more

I can't recommend these guys highly enough! They've helped me through multiple injuries and post-surgery recovery programs and got me ahead of the curve way ahead of expectations. Special shout out to Josh who's got an encyclopedic grip on PT and body mechanics. If you're looking for PT that's the best in the business, this is the place. read more

I started coming here because I needed a different approach than the typical PT I had been experiencing. My inury wasn't improving so I came to Progressive Motion hoping for a change. Their approach found holes in my treatment that I wasn't aware of and I was able to break through my plateau with their help. Their whole staff is amazing and having a care team under one roof has been viral to maintaining momentum in my healing process. Their facility is a perfect place to get your strength back and everyone cares about your improvement. I would highly recommend! read more

I have lower back pain from a disk injury I sustained lifting a few years back. I tried traditional hospital-based PT via the various health systems over the years (doing the usual stuff like clam shells, planks, hamstring stretches, etc), but sitting and lifting were still painful. I had basically given up and came to believe that I would be living in pain for the rest of my life. Eventually I stopped doing PT and would just pay lip service to the idea of it. It was only after I starting going to Progressive Motion and seeing Bryan Mai, who taught me about properly stacking my hip and ribcage and breathing into a hardened lower abdomen while lifting, along with proper form adjustments during specific movements like deadlifts, squats, etc, that I found that I could actually live life without recurring pain. I am now starting to believe once again that my physiotherapy exercises actually help, and do them consistently. So thanks Bryan and Progressive Motion in making me believe that my PT exercises actually do make a difference! read more

Can't say enough amazing things about this team. There is no other place I'd go for physio, strength training or massage. They know the body and just working with them raised my own body IQ. read more

I first worked with Dr. Bryan at Progressive Motion four years ago just after I had major back surgery when my L4 and L5 were fused. I am a 71-year-old female and recently I was told that I needed another fusion surgery - this time L3 and L4. I am currently waiting to get second and third opinions about that, but while I was waiting, I knew I needed to build up my strength. I was nervous about seeing a personal trainer because I couldn't risk making anything worse. (I have more issues than just my back!) After my prior experience with Bryan, I knew that returning to Progressive Motion was my only option. Unlike other experiences with a "regular" physical therapist - sessions with Bryan are all one on one. There is not anyone else in the room! He watches me every minute and makes sure that I do everything correctly to strengthen my body - and to avoid doing any more damage. My issues due to back and leg pain have severely affected my life. I have faith that Bryan is going to help me get some of my life back - and may even help me avoid another surgery. After experiencing this kind of attention to detail I know I won't ever be able to go back to standard physical therapy again. read more

I had a bad fall and strained a foot tendon really badly. My doc was nice but not nearly helpful enough so I went to see Matt L. He is the best PT I have ever seen. He not only quickly got to the root of what was going on and gave me the right exercises and stretches, but also helped me with general exercises I had given up on as I thought my body could no longer do them. (I'm in my late 50's.) I'm really excited to be not just healing my foot but revamping and expanding my workouts with his help. So he's now a long-term training partner. Thank you, Matt! read more

My son and I had an amazing experience working with Joey. He made sure that my 11 y/o son understood why they did those movement/exercises and how it translates to the sports that my son plays. For those of you looking to build strength and improving your mobility, hit up Joey and his team. Nobody better! read more

I had a bunch of PT sessions left but after my last session I couldn't go back. The incident with my PT happened in 2023. I'm use to a trainer or doctor asking for consent before touching specific areas of my body but the therapist I had a few sessions with already just kind of went in and didn't really need to touch my glute during an exercise. I thought to myself it was really inappropriate. I didn't even want to text for a refund for my remaining sessions or reach out to any other staff because I just felt embarrassed about it. read more

I'm a 31 year old male and I play a lot of soccer. I've been working closely with a couple of PTs for about 4-5 years, but spring 2025 I had Achilles pain that wouldn't go away. I started seeing Matt Langaman in June 2025 and he's helped fill in some major gaps in my training. He's taught me a lot in terms of how improving big toe extension and working on foot mechanics/mobility can eliminate my Achilles pain and also improve my athleticism. It's November 2025 now and I've learned a lot and have made huge strides towards returning to play. I expect once I'm 100% to be a much improved and much more durable athlete read more

I don't even know where to start! Finally! A place that has given me real hope and results and know I will get back to doing what I love. I'm a mom and former athlete. In the past 4 years I had 3 surgeries: knee surgery for a torn meniscus, hip surgery for a labral tear and bone spur and shoulder surgery for a torn rotator cuff. I also have 2 herniated discs in my lower back. My previous physical therapists only helped me to get some mobility back but there was no guidance for when my prescribed sessions were over. No one asking me how I was doing after my sessions were over. I was still dealing with muscle imbalances and my body was compensating for it. After every surgery my body mechanics were becoming more limited and I didn't want to go back to the previous therapists. I felt like just a number. Then I found Progressive Motion. My time with Dr. Joey Salgado and Dr. Ashely has given me almost all of my range of motion back in my shoulder in such a short period of time. I say almost because we're not done yet. :) I have also been working with Coach Queene who has not only been my strength coach to build my muscle endurance back up but she is also my massage therapist to workout the knots or soreness that happen as I work hard to regain my mobility or from just daily life. I couldn't believe I could get ALL of these services in one place. Progressive Motion has given me results in the most compassionate way and they educate me in the process so I can l come away from each session with more knowledge on how to care for my body. The most valuable thing I have learned is that Progressive Motion is a mindset and lifestyle and I'm so thankful. I know I will make it back to the jiujitsu mat. read more

Their chiropractor Drew Vercellino is a whole body healer. His curiosity and desire to learn more about how best to naturally heal someone's body and maintain the best health possible is rare to find. read more

Been in and out of pt for the last 8-10 years. Between having 3 kids and trying to stay active in between, I was constantly injuring myself. The approach Roneil takes is unlike any other pt I have ever worked with. He has been amazing at helping me address imbalances and wake up sleepy, underutilized muscles. Roneil's approach is so positive without bs and also not making me feel broken. I am approaching a whole year of not getting sidelined with a back spasm/injury. I now have a pretty big toolbox of exercises and cues to get after my aches and pains before they turn into injuries. With Roneil's help, i am definitely feeling stronger, healthier and more empowered in my 50s than I did in my 40s. read more

I had the best care at the Palo Alto's location. Dr Ro Urbino is an excellent professional. My first appointment I came with a lots changed of pain in my right feet. Pain was caused my sciatic nerve injury. Dr Ro guided me with therapies and exercises that helped me go through the pain. Once pain was gone, we started working on my balance, and proper movements. I learnt so much about my proper lifting techniques, movements that I became very aware of it when I'm working out. Dr Ro goes above and beyond!! He answers all your questions. He is present and listens to your concerns. His holistic approach makes your workouts more efficient and prevent injuries. His care exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Dr Ro and Progressive Motion team. read more

I first saw Dr Drew because of headaches and neck pain and I'm thankful he was able to help. They had been bothering me for at least 3 years before seeing him. I work with a lot of heavy equipment and he helps me stay moving well along with the rest of my team. Highly recommended! HE IS THE BEST!!! read more

In the summer of 2021 I tore my calf at my boxing / muay thai gym. As a person who likes to spend 2hrs in the gym a couple days a week, I wanted a physical therapist specifically trained for sports related injuries to get me back on my feet ASAP. After a search of the bay area, my wife and I found Progressive Motion and I was given a free televisit with Dr. Roneil Urbino (aka Ro) and I immediately booked an appointment. Ro was fantastic.I found his understanding of the musculoskeletal system to be superb. With each session I made marked improvement. He not only helped fix my muscle tear but also focused specifically on the weak areas of the kinetic chain which likely predisposed me to this injury. My calf is now 100%. Zero Pain. I have full range of motion. My balance, stability and execution of explosive movements has improved better than before my injury. Ro is a boss! read more

I was lucky to work with Ariana Antonio (PT, DPT, SCS) to rehab a running-related achilles injury. She genuinely cares about helping people return to the sports/activities they love. Ariana is incredibly thoughtful and detailed in her assessments and treatment approach. Unlike other PTs I had seen before, she created a personalized, effective plan that really addressed my needs as a runner. She introduced exercises I hadn't tried before and made sure they were appropriately challenging, just the right load and intensity to help me get back to running pain-free. Ariana was also excellent at adapting the plan based on how my injury responded, always listening and making smart, informed adjustments. It was nice working with Ariana, a specialist in Sports Physical Therapy, as she knows how important it is for people to get back to the sports they love. I highly recommend Ariana for anyone looking for top-quality, personalized physical therapy. read more

Cory comes from a background in playing sports, so it is always very easy to communicate pain points to him because he understands the repetitive motions I go though in my sports and physical activities. He does a really great job at analyzing my body as a whole, from taking into account my posture at my desk, while walking, all the way to if I'm performing any strength exercises incorrectly. He is attentive, knowledgeable and reassuring in the way he handles our sessions, giving me confidence that with proper rehab and exercise I can fix my shoulder and back pain. read more

Dr. Cory is a highly skilled physical therapist, who is able to listen to my concerns and accommodate to my learning style and needs for my body/injuries. Cory takes a holistic approach, considering the total body/person as well as specific areas that need to be addressed Dr. Cory has extensive knowledge in strength training, nutrition, and sports. I've had some on going back and knee pain from playing basketball. Cory provided me details on what was going on, performed manual techniques, gave me specific drills/exercises to focus on, and kept checking in with me incase I needed any adjustments. I really appreciate Cory! It was more than just PT, but a learning experience about how to be in-tune with my body and making better choices in my exercise selection and everyday movement. read more

I have been working with Cory for some time now. His attention to detail and knowledge about the musculoskeletal system has fixed my hip and lower back issues that I have been dealing with for a long time. Cory also has a deep background in sports which is great when it comes to learning sport specific exercises that have helped improve my vertical jump and performance on the basketball court. I would recommend Cory to anyone who is dealing with hip, and/or lower back issues, or is interested in sport performance training/Physical Therapy. read more

During my powerlifting training, I had knee pain that restricted me from doing heavy squats. I was worried because I was 3 weeks out from a powerlifting meet. I saw Roneil who first assessed me and made some recommendations on mobility and exercises to help strengthen the areas that would reduce the knee pain. After executing his recommendations, I was able to complete my powerlifting meet without any knee pain! To this day, I still don't have knee pain and will continue to see Roneil for any other areas that need work. I've also recommended family and friends to work with him! Thanks Ro! read more

I really enjoyed my experience working with Dr. Roneil (Ro) Urbino! I'm relatively new to lifting weights, and wanted to address lower back pain and improve mobility to prevent future injuries. Ro listened intently to my goals and concerns and, after carefully assessing my body, recommended exercises and stretches that could help me alleviate my pain and more effectively warm up for weightlifting. He did an excellent job explaining how to do the exercises, how they engage my body, and how I can use different (everyday) objects so I can successfully do them at home or at the gym. He also emailed me my treatment plan, which included videos of my exercises for me to review when needed. On one of my sessions, he noticed how tight my muscles were and asked if I would be interested in more manual work to help loosen them. I really appreciated the massage therapy, stretches, cupping, and scraping to increase blood flow and loosen up my muscles--it felt great and I felt ready for my next workout! Throughout our sessions, I especially appreciated how Ro prioritized the significance of breath work to better engage my core, go deeper in my stretches, and incorporate in my workouts to prevent future injuries. After three sessions with Ro and warming up with the exercises he suggested, I've already noticed a marked improvement in my mobility and workouts and feel much more confident in my weightlifting! Lastly, I valued how Ro was interested in getting to know me as a whole person throughout our sessions and building rapport instead of only focusing on what appeared to be wrong. Not only did I feel like he genuinely cared about me as a client/person, I also believe this helped Ro better understand what might be contributing to my pain and allowed him to make more appropriate recommendations for treatment. He also asked for permission/consent every time he touched or moved my body, which made me feel comfortable and safe throughout our work together. I highly recommend Ro and the team at Progressive Motion! read more

My experience working with PT, Roneil at Progressive Motion has exceeded all my expectations for what efficient, productive, effective therapy should look like. I'm fairly young and have mild arthritis in one of my knees and Roneil has been so helpful in targeting the sessions for low-impact activity while remaining highly effective to cater to my condition. I also practice jiu jitsu which can at times put a strain on the body, but Roneil tailors my workouts to address any concerns/issues I have. His knowledge of body mechanics, physiology, functionality, and movement is unmatched and he truly upholds values of patient/client-centered care with his professionalism and passion for the field of work. Additionally, Roneil consistently uses evidence-based research and implements modern and innovative techniques in his practice. Participating in this program/community has truly improved my quality of life overall and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to take their health and mobility to the next level. read more

Coach Queen has been very helpful with teaching and showing me body recovery for powerlifting purposes and overall longevity. She helped me with my sciatica and now we are working together to fix any knee pains and how to prevent them going forward. Helped with my squat form and growth. read more

This is the right place if you need any help with your muscles/joints. If you ask for Josh's help with knee or lower back pain, he might start with tests or exercises elsewhere in the body - which might seem odd at first. But if you stick with those, you'll find that it's by far your best shot at fixing the root cause of your issue for the long term, rather than short term pain killers. I grew up with scoliosis and all the downstream pain from the asymmetries - after working with him was the first time I was pain free and could got back to any of my big lifts again. I drive down from SF to San Jose to see him, and would see him every week if he were closer. He's simply great. read more

Chiropractor Dr. Drew is awesome. He is really knowledgeable and helped me eliminate the frequent headaches/migranes I was dealing with. Highly recommended him! read more

These guys are the best. Coming from an semi/pro basketball athlete lifestyle and doubling with a grad school degree in chiropractic, they helped me get right after my car accident and covid. Words cannot express how much these guys know from neuroscience to respiration to biomechanics of the human body to fitness and movement. You must check them out if you are looking to get right or in pain. Excited to see what the PMPT has in store for the future. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. read more

Dr. Drew Vercellino, the Chiropractor on site is very knowledgeable, patient and provides the best care.

I sought out Dr Drew because of the specialized work he talked about with the neck because my neck and upper back was bothering me so much from all the work I do as a Chef. During the initial exam, Dr. Drew could easily tell that my lower back and hips was in pain also but I didn't mention it on the paperwork because I didn't think what he could do would help. Dr. Drew gave my some stretching exercises to after the adjustment to regain my mobility. Now my posture has improved exponentially. What I appreciated the most was that he was upfront about what he thought it would take to help me. After just a few weeks I was feeling great and my back/neck pain symptoms were almost completely gone and my sleep has improved aswell . A few months later and I barely go into the office once or twice per month and hardly ever need to get adjusted. I'm glad I got in and Dr. Drew was able to help. read more

All I can say form personally experienced is WOW!! Those employed at Progressive Motion Physiotherapy really do know what they are doing. I have had the pleasure of working with and continue to work with Cory Low a current employee for PMP. Not only is his background in the field incredible extensive and impressive but the sheer passion, joy, and knowledge that comes from working with him in person speaks for itself. I walk away with a better understanding of my body and how to care for it. Not only does Cory take extremely great care of you and your body he makes you feel understood and heard. His practice is incredible authentic and I couldn't imagine working with any other PT. After each session my body feel better then it ever has and it stays that way. Now I know sometimes the instant gratification is there but somehow we end up back at the doctors NOT IN THIS CASE!! Cory Low is very genuine in his practice and his end goal is to share knowledge with you in hard to better care for your body so that you won't have to see him again. Unless you really want too! In my case, I just love how my body feels after working with him and I always walk again gaining new knowledge over my body and it's functionality! Cory Low is a 10/10 and you would be in the care of one of the best! read more

I had the opportunity to work with Roneil Urbino and it was as educational as it was restorative. I have had lingering lower back pain for many months and it was hindering my ability to be myself. After careful diagnosis and treatment, I was put on a plan that would require me to do exercises and stretches to help alleviate any discomfort. While it did not happen over night, through consistent work with Roneil over the next few months, I feel the best I have felt in years. The largest Value I have gained is what to determine the cause of the discomfort, and how to solve the problem if it continues to persist. Roneil comes highly recommended. read more

Coach Q is one of the most talented coaches and massage therapists that I have ever met. She had an appointment with me 3 years ago or so, and it was an above and beyond experience. Her attention to detail on my right shoulder injury was awesome and as she provided her services, she was constantly asking how everything was and making sure I was doing well throughout the appointment. 10/10 experience and I would go back to go see her any day. She will make sure your body is taken care of to the highest standards! read more

I have worked with Queene and it was nothing but an excellent experience that exceeded my expectations. Queene has been my strength training coach, mobility coach, massage therapist...she is knowledgeable and supportive. Through her I've learned the importance of mobility exercise to improve my performance in the gym. My form improved in areas that I didn't realize needed improvement and she was able to explain things in a very simplified manner that just made sense. A plus - she is a kind and empathetic human, with a great sense of humor. Always made our sessions fun. I highly recommend Queene! read more

In September 2021, I injured my lower back and was hard to get out of bed. I reached out to Dr. Joey Salgado at PMPT and, after diagnosing the problem, we were able to work on a detailed plan to unlock my lower back stiffness. The next few months were very tough, but rewarding. The biggest takeaway from my time working with Joey was learning and educating myself about my body so I have an arsenal of techniques and exercises to alleviate my discomfort. Joey is an all around great person to work with. You'll be physically and mentally at ease knowing that he's investing in you and your journey. He wants you to have autonomy over you health by giving you the tools and education so you don't have to rely on him and continue to see him. I am in a better place, both physically and mentally, than before my injury and it's all thanks to Joey and the PMPT team. read more
