If you’re deciding if manual physical therapy is for you, here are some common symptoms we treat:
CHRONIC PAIN

INJURIES
Injuries can result from overuse, trauma, or repetitive motion. Identify the root cause of your injury and receive targeted therapy to minimize discomfort, promote healing, and provide lasting relief.
JOINT DISCOMFORT
Joint pain can disrupt your daily activities. Address joint issues through hands-on techniques that increase joint mobility, reduce inflammation, and fortify the overall joint.
“As a runner who relies on running for my overall mental and physical health, I was ignoring my hip and lower back pain for quite some time. Booking a PT session with Jessica Chang was the best decision I could've made. I learned a lot about my body and what I need to improve during my initial visit. Thanks to the tips and exercises I received at MOTIVNY, I am already in a lot less pain just one-month post-initial visit. ”

“After going to several PTs for a nagging herniated disk in my back and not seeing any progress, I was discouraged. But a friend recommended MOTIVNY, and my first session with James was worth more than all the PT I'd done so far combined...I went from not being able to run or lift without severe back pain to getting back to lifting pain-free and ultimately running in the NYC marathon. It would not have been possible without [MOTIVNY].”
