MOTI Physiotherapy

Going to PT at MOTI was exceptional! My physical therapist, Michael was super friendly, attentive, responsive to what was/wasn't working, and overall a really great physical therapist helping with a complex pain issue. Not only was Michael awesome, but the PT aides are really helpful, ensure you are doing exercises properly, and a wealth of knowledge. I was impressed by the professionalism of MOTI, from the front staff always helping with scheduling/billing requests and things that came up, to the equipment and every employee I worked with. I've received PT at another center in the past, and can say with enthusiasm that MOTI is one of the best out there! I highly recommend MOT for PT services.

Worked with Michael Yip at MOTI and he was fantastic. Incredibly patient and knowledgeable. I had been to previous physical therapists before with some moderate success but Michael really pinpointed what was wrong and created a thorough plan to get me mobile and pain free as quickly as possible. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend visiting MOTI for your physical therapy needs! I was 4 weeks out from the Chicago Marathon dealing with a pain in my calf that wouldn't go away. After meeting with Dr. Lorena Ambriz she immediately diagnosed where the actual issue was stemming from (ankle mobility) and put a plan together to get me back to being pain free and able to run the marathon on time. Without her help I would have either had to pull out of the race or risk further injury. I'm so happy I found MOTI and can't speak highly enough about Dr. Lorena Ambriz.

Amazing staff and facility! Dr. Ann is so knowledgeable and helpful with my injury recovery. All of her staff are smart and friendly when walking through exercises and explaining anatomy. Dr. Michael was also great whenever he had to step in as well. Facility and equipment are all clean, new and functional. Would highly recommend to all of my friends and family.

I went to physical therapy at MOTI in Highland Park for about 9 months due to various issues. I found the physical therapists that I saw, specifically Dr. Mia Sugi-Wassink, to be excellent. I've gone to physical therapy in the past, but I think that Dr. Mia was probably one of the best I've seen. She listened to my concerns, developed a comprehensive plan for me, and helped me through some pain that I was experiencing. Highly recommend her.

This review is specifically for Lorena Ambriz she is a fantastic therapist. I spent many hours in gyms and no longer enjoy spending time in them. However, i had a nasty MTB crash and needed help. i was skeptical going in but was miserable. I got Lorena by luck of the draw and knew within 20 minutes with her that she would help me, so i was in. She evaluated strength and mobility and knew right off that strength was the problem. i had been to an ortho who didn't ID the problem muscles, etc. but Lorena quickly figured out my injured muscles and put me on an appropriately and initially easy (I'll be 64 in December) routine that was tailored to my injury. The ortho didn't recommend enough sessions but she coordinated permission for more and i didn't have to go back to the ortho. She ramped up the exercises in weight, reps and different exercises and got me quickly on my way to recovery. Ask for Lorena!

Front desk admin staff are lazy. I had called 3 times for weeks leading up to my first appointment to get a confirmation on insurance coverage. I had called my own to confirm but wanted confirmation from Moti as well. Day of appointment, front desk lady was so rude right off the bat and was somehow able to figure out my insurance in less than 5 minutes. After that first appointment I never received the stretches and exercises and had called another three times, front desk said they’d notify the PT and they continued to tell me to check my spam. There was zero follow up. I reached out directly to my PT and over a week later she apologized saying that my email when into her spam. And for every appointment they charge a $5 “communications” fee for what?

I cannot speak highly enough about Dr Michael Yip! Michael’s kindness, patience, and commitment to my recovery was unmatched. So much so that when he moved from his previous practice at 1 Physical Therapy, I followed him over to Moti. Anyone in search of a stellar PT would be lucky to work with him.
