Still dealing with the same injury?
Let’s actually treat it.
Most physical therapy treats where it hurts. We find out why it hurts, then build the plan to fix it for good.
At The Motion Lab in Redwood City, physical therapy, strength training, and recovery work from one movement assessment and one roadmap, not three separate appointments with three different opinions.
The pain goes away. Then it comes back. And every time it does, it takes a little more from you.
You've probably already tried resting it. Maybe you've done some PT before — exercises, a heat pack, a few stretches to do at home.
And it helped. For a while.
But here you are again.
That cycle isn't bad luck. It's a sign that the root cause was never actually addressed. Most PT treats where it hurts. We treat why it hurts — and everything upstream that's been contributing to it.
Physical therapy that looks at your whole system, not just your injury.
At Progressive Motion, we don't just treat the site of pain. We assess how your entire body moves — your alignment, your mechanics, your compensations — and build a care plan around what we actually find.
That means you're not getting a generic protocol. You're getting a plan built for your body, your sport, and your goals.
Whether you're a runner dealing with recurring knee pain, an athlete coming back from injury, or a high performer who needs their body to keep up with their life — this is care that goes deeper.
Let's figure out what's actually going on.
Book a consultation. We'll do a full assessment, explain what we're seeing, and walk you through exactly what your recovery looks like.
A smarter approach to getting you back — and keeping you there.
RESET
We address the tissue, the nervous system, and the structural issues contributing to your injury. Not just the pain site
REORGANIZE
We correct the alignment and movement patterns that caused the problem in the first place — so it doesn't come back.
RELOAD
We rebuild your strength and resilience with movement that's tailored to what you actually do — so you come back better than before.
"I've been blessed with the opportunity to work with Joey and Ashley on my knee recovery process. Everybody here is well experienced and knowledgeable on the stuff they do."

"I had been to well-meaning PTs, massage therapists, acupuncture, you name it. I am not exaggerating when I say that Ashley is the only one who figured out what was actually going on with my body and how to fix it. For the first time in years, I can imagine a pain free life for myself. Can't recommend strongly enough."

"I was lucky to work with Ariana Antonio (PT, DPT, SCS) to rehab a running-related achilles injury. She genuinely cares about helping people return to the sports/activities they love. Ariana is incredibly thoughtful and detailed in her assessments and treatment approach.

FAQ
DO I NEED A REFERRAL FROM A MD?
-
No referral needed in the state of California. Most people think you need to wait and see your primary or orthopedic MD prior to seeing us, however quick or immediate access to your physio can be the difference between an acute or chronic condition.
-
Call, text, or email us immediately if you need help.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT IN MY FIRST VISIT?
-
Your therapist will interview you to get a deeper understanding of your issue and goals, which will be followed by a movement evaluation that will look at certain patterns (squat, single leg stance, lunge, toe touch, etc.). We also take the time to look at joint mobility, muscle length, and also breathing as it relates to core stability. Given the information gathered in the 1st session, we will come up with a plan on frequency of visits and also a home program that includes mobility drills to get you started.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
-
Please wear comfortable workout clothing to the appointment to allow for movement or possible soft tissue work.
-
If you are coming in for hip region, it is best to have shorts available.
-
If you are coming in for a shoulder/neck region, we encourage for women to wear a top that exposes shoulder blade area.
CAN I USE MY FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT (FSA) OR HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT (HSA)?
-
ABSOLUTELY!
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE INSURANCE?
-
In many ways, insurance companies dictate or strongly influence the treatment that patients receive at “in-network” clinics, and we refuse to allow that to dictate what is best for you.
CAN I BILL MY INSURANCE FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES?
-
This depends on the insurance you have, but YES, most NON-Medicare patients can send “self-claims” to their insurance company for their treatments at our clinic. You should be able to print claim forms off your insurance company’s website, and send it in with the needed receipts and treatment codes that will be provided upon request at our clinic.
-
The amount of reimbursement or application towards your deductible is completely dependent on your insurance plan. If you call your insurance company to inquire about what you can expect to receive, you should ask about reimbursement for “out-of-network Physical Therapy” expenses sent in via self-claims.
-
Medicare Beneficiaries: The US government has some interesting laws that control where Medicare beneficiaries can spend their healthcare dollar and persuade healthcare providers to enroll in their system. Because we are not Participating Medicare Providers, we can only accept Medicare beneficiaries as patients when the patient does not want Medicare billed for any PT services. This request to not involve Medicare in payment must be made up front by the patient and be made of the patient’s own free will.
-
In other words, if you’re a Medicare beneficiary and are adamant about seeing us for your care even though we are not participating Medicare providers, we can help … However, the only way we can provide you with PT services is when you truly don’t want Medicare involved and you ask up front that Medicare not be billed or involved in your physical therapy care.
-
If you do want to use your Medicare benefits for physical therapy, we cannot provide you with treatment at our clinic but we can help you find a good Medicare provider in your area.
WHEN IS YOUR SOONEST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT?

Same week availability is very common for us! If you’re struggling to get an appointment with other clinics, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!
