Who needs a Muscle Tune Up?! I have used these techniques on olympics athletes prior and after their competitions, with Team USA Weightlifting and AVP Beach volleyball athletes. If you’re an athlete looking for some mobility work prior to your workout or competition, or work at a desk all day and need some mobility work on your neck and back, come see me for a quick Muscle Tune Up! ... I am one of few physical therapists that are CERTIFIED in Myofascial Decompression, as well as IASTM and Kinesiotape with experience treating all sports and athletes in the LA region and I can help!! Myofascial Decompression (negative pressure) and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (positive pressure) are a tissues mobilization technique that improves Myofascial mobility by increasing slide and glide between tissues, inducing space between structures, improving circulation and drainage, ALL while incorporating neuromuscular re-education with movement retraining. I have used MFD AND IASTM to treat neck pain, back pain, IT band syndrome, runners knee, golfers elbow, tennis elbow, Achilles tendinitis, patellar tendinitis, post op rehab AND SO MUCH MORE! At Moti PT, I incorporate MFD and IASTM into my physical therapy practices and see great benefits and results, short term AND long term for the my patients. Feel free to ask me questions OR stop by if you’re in the area! I provide MFD, IASTM, or KTape as a quick 30 min tune up session at Moti Physiotherapy in Los Feliz. Please check out their website @motipt for appointments and rates! #beyondcupping #myofascialdecompression #whatthecup #cuptherapy #cupping #myofascialrelease #mfd #dpt #physicaltherapist #pt #physiotherapist #sportsrehab #sportstherapy #sportsinjuries #movementculture #prehab #rehabilitation #functionaltraining #sportsperformance #muscletherapy #musclerecovery #mobilty #stabilty #injuryprevention #recovery #musclerehab #muscletuneup #movementspecialist See more

Patellar Maltracking causing pain in front of your knee? A common cause of anterior knee pain is due to the knee cap not gliding on the groove it’s intended to move in. When the knee cap is off it’s track, like a off it’s rails, it could cause irritation and pain in front front of the knee. ESPECIALLY with squatting, lunging, running , or going downstairs. One of the ways we can alleviate this is with taping. Taping the kneecap could help guide it back onto the co...rrect pathway, reducing pain with activity. HOWEVER it is not the solution! You must also address bio mechanical faults and strength/flexibility deficits that contributed to this maltracking to fix the CAUSE of the problem!! Come see me or one of our PTs at Moti if your knees hurt and we will get you back into running in no time!! With A Physical Therapy Session, we can analyze your movements AND tape you up AND give you the right exercises. But if you just want the taping, we can do that too with our Manual Tune Up Sessions! @motipt #dpt #dptlife #physicaltherapist #pt #physiotherapist #sportsrehab #scs #sportstherapy #sportsinjuries #movementculture #prehab #rehabilitation #functionaltraining #sportsperformance #muscletherapy #musclerecovery #mobilty #stabilty #injuryprevention #recovery #muscleactivation #musclerehab #muscletuneup #movementspecialist #patellafemoralsyndrome #kneepain #kneepainrelief #mcconelltape #tapingneuromuscular See more

#Repost @dralexweber Covid-19 has flipped our world upside down. While it’s still best to stay home and be safe, we are adapting so we can continue to care for patients with musculoskeletal injuries. For the vast majority of patients we can provide continued care via telehealth. As you can see from the first picture, I have employed a new Director of Telemedicine. He is generally a fair boss but he will cry if he doesn’t get his way! * We are still communicating with o...ur physical therapy partners to ensure mutual patients are getting the best care possible. Thanks to @dpt_ann @moti_pt @eliteorthosport @aspire_physical_therapy @uscbknpt and many others! * We know this time at home can be difficult on bones and joints as posture can be tough and exercise has to be modified.

All the PTs at Moti are working diligently on a Saturday to make sure our patients get the continuous care they need through these weeks of quarantine! I love my Moti Fam Repost @moti_pt The world has gone digital, and the Doctors of Physical Therapy at MOTI are here for you through Zoom Telehealth! .... Offering Physical Therapy initial evaluations and follow up sessions, as well as Personal Training sessions all for just $50 a session. OR for physical therapy, if we are an in-network provider on your insurance plan, we will bill telehealth visits directly to your insurance. . Many people/patients have emailed or called us asking for your therapist to send you new, personalized home exercise programs while you are practicing social distancing... To be honest, our small, family business has lost more than half of our income in these past 2 weeks due to this unexpected and unprecedented public health crisis. . If you are looking to your DPT for guidance, please consider booking a telehealth session rather than asking them to work for free and send you updated programsBecause working for free is not sustainable. . We know many are probably feeling the economic impact of this situation. We humbly plea that if you are able, please do what you can to support MOTI and the therapists who have helped you up until this moment. . With great appreciation and respect, The MOTI Team See more

And we so appreciate all of our wonderful patients who make it a joy to come to work everyday.

#Repost @moti_pt with @get_repost To our valued patients: We want to inform you of a policy change announced yesterday, March 17, 2020 by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in response to the COVID-19 nationwide public health emergency. The CMS has broadened access to Medicare telehealth services so that beneficiaries can receive a wider range of services from their doctors without having to travel to a healthcare facility. This includes e-visits with your... physical therapist (for existing MOTI patients). . In compliance with CDC, OSHA, and federal, state, and local government mandates, MOTI remains open exclusively for 1-on-1 patient care. If you would like to schedule a telehealth e-visit with your physical therapist instead of coming to MOTI in person, MOTI is now set-up to provide HIPAA compliant telehealth e-visits using Zoom Telehealth.
