Surgery isn’t always the answer.


But all too often, that’s where patients with musculoskeletal pain are guided first.
As a young orthopedist, I was a “ski doc” in Tahoe. At the hospital there, we were constantly pushed to do more surgeries to bring in more money. I left because I couldn’t be part of that kind of system — but throughout my career, I’ve kept seeing that pressure to operate play out. Too many practices are procedure-oriented rather than being solely focused on patients.
The problem is, surgery doesn’t always help patients feel better. And the more you do, the riskier and less reversible it is. If you replace your hip or have an operation on your back and it doesn’t fix your pain, what then? Surgery is unquestionably the right option in many cases, but it shouldn’t be the default.
We started Motion to show patients another way.

How we show up every day
We’re with you all the way
We go beyond what’s expected to create outstanding experiences that build lasting trust and respect. Because every patient matters! Every interaction is a chance to show care, go the extra mile, and make a difference for our patients.
Healing happens together
We work as one team to restore health and hope. No matter our role, we put patients at the center, making compassionate, evidence-based decisions. We collaborate deeply because lasting recovery requires real care and true teamwork.
Own the challenge, drive the change
We solve problems with heart and take action with purpose. We move thoughtfully, speak honestly, and always act with integrity - because getting it right matters more than being right. No egos - just a team with a shared drive to make a real impact.
