A word from the founder
“Due to the complexity of these issues and the frequency at which we see issues that present as acute but are truly chronic, our existing healthcare system is not equipped to diagnose nor treat them. All these patients were misdiagnosed or mismanaged at some point which contributed to the building complexity of their issues, only making it that much harder and lengthy to treat. Fortunately for us we have the capacity to take the time to build a program that will actually help the patient. In traditional insurance type clinics, patients are either discharged to early and not taken through an entire course of care. So even if they “feel better” after their course of care they typically will present again in 3-6 months with the same issue or something similar that stems from the same issue.
At Motus, we take you through the entire course of care and ensure that we are not only making you feel temporarily better, but actually resolving your issue. We have to take into consideration what demands you are putting onto your body and how we have to prepare it for those demands. Typical care is too generic and doesn’t allow for us to treat a patient who wants to run a marathon, or a pregnant patient who wants to be active or someone with chronic low back pain who wants to run. These patients all would of been told to rest, wear a brace, take pain meds and give up on what they wanted to do. Almost anyone can do what they want to do, the question is, "Are you willing to do the work and do you have the right team to get you there?"”

“After a pretty serious knee operation, I decided to give Motus a try...The clinic itself is beautiful and full of new equipment. The Physical Therapy and massage that I have received has been fantastic and I have been making great progress. They consistently go above and beyond my expectations.”

“After visiting 3 different clinics in San Francisco, Meg and Lindsay are the best PT/Chiro combo I have found.They were able to get me back out and running again pain free.”

“Overall, I cannot recommend Motus strongly enough. If there's a persistent ache/injury/other physical challenge that's been weighing you down, don't give up until you give them a shot!”
Sasha K.Yelp Review
“I am a HUGE fan of Motus. The whole team is extremely professional and kind. They know their stuff inside and out and have delivered results for a number of issues I've had (Achilles, back, knee)... CrossFit can take a toll. I couldn't recommend them highly enough!”
Alex S.Yelp Review
“I have been a ballet dancer for 21 years, have lived in 3 cities and had many chiropractors, massage and physical therapists over the years in different places and I have to say that this group of people at Motus is the best I have experienced. They have a genuine desire to understand what your body is doing, find the root cause and work from there.”
Leyna S.Yelp Review
“I recently suffered a rhomboid strain and was referred to Salvatore, a massage therapist at Motus by my doctor. The massage provided instant relief, and he even took the time to demonstrate some rehabilitation exercises. Convenient location, reasonable prices and seamless reservations -- I am very pleased.”
