What our patients say:

“I Learned I Didn’t Need Surgery”

Severe knee, neck, and back pain — resolved without surgery

A 59-year-old woman came to Motion with severe left knee pain, along with chronic neck and back pain. She had been told surgery was her only option. At the time, she was managing her pain with narcotics, struggling with her weight, and dealing with the added health burden of smoking.

Through Motion’s integrated approach—including targeted trigger point injections, knee joint injections, physical therapy, and health coaching—she was able to transform her health from the inside out. She strengthened her body, lost weight, reduced her stress, cut back on smoking, and rediscovered the motivation to stay active.

Despite imaging that showed severe arthritis and a knee deformity, her pain dropped to just 1–2 out of 10. Most importantly, she was thrilled to learn that she did not need a knee replacement after all.

“I Danced All Night Without Any Pain”

– Hip bursitis and a painful knee cyst — back on her feet

A 75-year-old woman came to visit Motion with hip bursitis and a painful cyst on her knee that made it difficult to walk. Simple activities she once enjoyed had become a struggle.

Her Care Team drained the knee cyst and administered cortisone injections to both the cyst and the hip bursa. The relief was dramatic and fast.

She was so surprised by her improvement that she was eager to share the results: after treatment, she traveled to New York City and, in her own words, was able to “dance all night without any pain.”

“Thirty Years of Pain — Finally Under Control”

Decades of bilateral knee and hip pain — near-zero pain through physical therapy

A 72-year-old man had lived with pain in both knees and both hips for over 30 years. Imaging revealed severe “knock knee” deformities and significant arthritis in multiple joints.

Rather than jumping to surgical intervention, his Motion care team designed a focused, high-quality physical therapy program tailored to his specific needs and limitations.

The results spoke for themselves: after completing his program, his pain levels dropped to near zero—a life-changing outcome after three decades of chronic discomfort.

FROM OUR FOUNDER

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.
