MOTUS Specialists Physical Therapy, Inc. of San Clemente, CA

Motus Physical Therapy has been crucial in my shoulder injury recovery. The knowledgeable and caring team provided personalized sessions that greatly improved my mobility and reduced pain. The clean, well-equipped facility made each visit positive and productive. Thanks to Motus, I’m on my way back to playing baseball. Also the staff is truly incredible!

Went to MOTUS after full year of struggling to make progress with other PT’s with both my rotator cuffs. Amazing combination of massage work on the table to loosen area and effective and efficient exercises to build strength. Drew and Calyn were focused for the complete hour on me and my shoulder issues. As opposed to other places that worked on me for 10 minutes and then sent me off to do non-dynamic exercises to fill the time. This is the kind of expertise and attention Olympic athletes get, and MOTUS has those kind of athletes walking in on a daily basis. Amazing opportunity to do PT around and with some of the best athletes in the country. Highly recommend MOTUS.

I recently had surgery and Motus was the place that helped me find my diagnosis. Through the whole process of surgery and then after surgery Christy and Shelby have helped me. They have improved my strength overall and have given me a fast recovery so I can get back to soccer. I am so happy I chose Motus as my physical therapy place and I am happy with my results.

I’ve been in pain dealing with lower back issues for the past few years. I decided to come try Motus thru a friends recommendation & they have been able to help minimize my back pain where it’s not even noticeable even after just a few visits. I would highly recommend them if you’re dealing with constant nagging back pain.

Shelby Dopudja is fabulous! Her knowledge about the body and recovery is incredible. She taught my son so much about how to keep his body strong and healthy.

I grew up an athlete, very active, and a competitive swimmer. I have received five shoulder surgeries starting in middle school to my freshman year of college. In the end, I was left in debilitating pain for years and no answers from the surgeons and physical therapists that were treating me at the time as to why my shoulders were not healing. I was told nothing more could be done, I would never be able to swim or surf again, and was told by my surgeons all I could do was see a psychiatrist to cope with a life of chronic pain. I had to leave the college I was attending because I could no longer function in my daily life due to the shoulder and neck pain. Shortly after coming home, I found MOTUS by word of mouth being told this place is magic and that their approach to therapy was different than any other clinic around. After almost 7 months here, I can definitively say MOTUS goes beyond what I have ever experienced in my years of therapy. The care I received from the MOTUS staff, team, and my PT, Tara, has been nothing but care and kindness. Everyone there truly wants to see their patients heal and feel better. Having a team where every therapist has that in mind, I believe is what makes this place different from any other clinic. Before going to MOTUS, I thought I would never heal and that I had to just live with the pain left from the aftermath of all these surgeries. After about 7 months of therapy here, my life has transformed. This time last year, I could not even get out of bed without pain. Now, I am surfing, lifting weights, going to yoga almost daily, and even back in the pool swimming. Coming from someone that thought I was a lost cause at 19 and that nothing would be able to heal my injuries, the therapists at MOTUS can help you heal. I am so grateful for finding this place and for my therapist Tara who is exceptional at what she does as she truly cares for every single one of her patients. If you have the chance to work with her to aid in your recovery, I highly recommend it. Thank you to the MOTUS team and Tara for treating me so kindly and helping me get my life back, I am forever grateful. -Hannah

MOTUS transformed my life in a positive way. Two years ago I had acute knee pain from an unresolved injury. Just walking up stairs caused discomfort. Doctors told me I would need a knee replacement! I’m 32, this was shocking news. I started looking at better ways to solve my problem and that’s how I found MOTUS. Tara O’Brien (DPT @ MOTUS) took me through some thorough diagnostic appointments and then proceeded to address each of the incorrect movement patterns I had developed as a result of the injury. She taught me how to strengthen the right muscle groups and how to maintain proper posture while doing everything from walking and running to lifting weights etc… Two years later I feel better than I ever have and carry out normal and strenuous activities with almost no pain… a far cry from where I was. I am extremely grateful to Tara and the MOTUS team for their genuine concern, professional approach, and dedication to helping me progress. I would highly recommend MOTUS to anyone recovering from an injury or looking to prevent injury. You will not be disappointed.

Worked with Motus Physcial Therapy. They have been amazing. They have helped me come along way with my injury. Would recommend this place to anyone who needs help with an injury. They will help you get back to where you need to be.
