MOTIVATE Physical Therapy

Christine is a phenomenal therapist! From my son’s first session she made us feel like family. She has extensive knowledge in her field of orthopedic sports medicine and functional movement. Christin has a kind and caring heart, with a very warm and friendly demeanor and she continuously goes above and beyond for her patients care. My son had an elbow surgery that has kept him away from his favorite sport of baseball and I was extremely worried about finding someone who would help him get back to his full pitching ability, but after working with Christine for his therapy, I have no doubt he will be a much stronger athlete both physically and mentally. The tools & understanding of his body and the mechanics of how everything ties in together that he has learned from Christine are something he will use for the rest of his sports career in school and beyond. You can see the passion and love she has for what she does in the care she gives to each of her patients. And it gets even better that she surrounds herself with a team of amazing therapists that share her love of helping others. The front office staff is wonderful too, they are always helpful from working with you on insurance issues and questions, to finding convenient times to fit into your schedule for appointments. I am truly grateful to have found Christine and the MOTIVATE Team… I would highly recommend them if you are looking for the absolute best!!

For years I have had various hip, neck, back, and shoulder issues. I was constantly doing exercises that I thought would help that were actually hurting! Going to Motivate over a period of a few weeks has changed my life! Christine is focused, attentive, and knows her stuff. After being trained to perform a specific, easy to manage, empowering exercise regimen, I feel great! I also worked with Seema who was wonderful. Elena, the receptionist, made the insurance and co-pay process seamless. I highly recommend Motivate!

I’m extremely happy I found Motivate. Christine was amazing. I have had shoulder issues for years and went to another PT place. The other place had someone helping me who was also helping 2 other people at the same time giving each person a few minutes before rotating. I felt I was by myself almost the entire time. With motivate this wasn’t the case at all. Christine worked with me the entire time while I was there for each session. She explained things very well and watched me doing the exercises to ensure they were done correctly. Well after a month my shoulder impingements were significantly better and I am now able to do certain motions that hurt in the past pain free. I now understand what I was doing wrong and what I have to do to continue progress. This significantly helped me. Thank you Christine!!

Christine is the consummate professional and an outstanding clinician. Every facet of her practice is exceptional, whether it be the courteous staff, the efficient billing and insurance sector, or of course the healing hands and empathic heart of Dr. Christine herself. I will admit that I was not terribly optimistic when I initially presented to Motivate physical therapy. I was convinced that my chronic and debilitating shoulder pain was simply a lost cause and that any conservative effort would prove futile. Surgery was my only realistic option and I dreaded the thought of months of debilitation and inability to do my job. After her comprehensive initial evaluation she made some extremely insightful observations and set to work on both passive and active therapies that swiftly elevated my optimism. Measurable relief was realized in a finite period of time and before long I was back to work with virtually no pain and returned to my coveted exercise regiment that I had all but given up hope on. What an epiphany this was! Her one on one attention is uninterrupted throughout each appointment. There is nothing cookie cutter about it, in fact every visit had a new challenge and protocol that made me wonder, "how much of a store house of information and wisdom does she possess?" It seemed virtually inexhaustible. Recently I was asked by a friend about my shoulder. I said it is doing extremely well. Then he asked which shoulder it was...and I had to think for a second! A miraculous result. I am indebted to this dedicated and gifted healer. I enthusiastically tell others about her much like I'm doing in this forum right now!

I have been going to Christine at Motivate Physical Therapy for laser treatments of the arthritis in my foot for over a year. Prior to going to Christine I could barely walk, let alone put a shoe on my foot. Christine and her laser treatments have been life changing. I can walk several miles a day and do yoga like never before! It has changed my quality of life!

I started going to Motivate based on a friend’s recommendation. I’m so glad that I did. I had a total knee replacement in August and was able to return to my teaching job for the first day of school. The entire session is 1-1 hands on, unlike other PT practices where you are doing exercises unsupervised. Christine and Seema are super knowledgeable, professional and completely dedicated to successfully rehabbing each patient by addressing their individual needs. I highly recommend Motivate!

I was in a car accident in Nov 2018 and still experience back and neck pain and headaches. I completed 3 rounds of PT at 3 different facilities and I experienced the most relief at MOTIVATE PT! Christine is very knowledgeable and is always willing to take the time to share this knowledge for your improvement. The 1-on-1 appointments allow for more personal and interactive appointments where Christine is there to check your form and provide feedback. She also performs laser therapy which helped relieve pain during my round with Christine. I would recommend MOTIVATE PT to those looking for relief!

Best PT I've ever had, and I've had my fair share. As you would expect, Christine as a PhD is incredibly knowledgeable, every question is answered in detail in a manner that can be understood and acted on. She is able to communicate what her plan is, what you're doing right and how to improve. She and her team are friendly, accommodating and great professionals.
