"Jess is amazing. I had a hip arthroscopy and went through two different PTs without seeing any real progress in my recovery. Luckily, a friend recommended Jess at Motiv, and that's when things finally started to improve. She's incredibly knowledgeable and tailors the program to your specific needs."

I have been working with James for 3 months. James has completely changed the way I think of strength and mobility. I went from being told I needed major hip surgery and taking an 8-month running hiatus… to working with James and running several times per week, including long runs. It has been such a positive experience.
After moving to the city, I was fortunate to be referred to MOTIVNY by my run coach. My PT, Tyler Nightingale, has been absolutely exceptional. What sets Tyler apart is his thoughtful approach to treatment. His expertise is evident in how quickly he identified the root cause of my issues.
Team is the absolute tops. I made an appointment with Jessica one of their ace PT's on the recommendation of a friend. Jessica was great. Got me on a program that had me pain free and running again quickly. I decided to also get a run analysis done while I was there and it was one of the most meaningful investments I could have made.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long are your physical therapy appointments?
Our PT appointments are 60 minutes long—double the industry standard of 30 minutes. This gives us time for thorough hands-on manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and individualized attention every single session. We believe rushing through your care doesn't lead to real results.
2. Do you accept insurance?
Yes, we work with most major insurance plans. We also offer self-pay options for those who prefer to pay out-of-pocket. Contact us at (212) 226-0400 or kathia@motivny.com for insurance verification and pricing information specific to your plan.
3. What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring comfortable athletic clothing you can move in, any relevant medical records or imaging results, your insurance card if applicable, and a list of your current symptoms and goals. We'll conduct a comprehensive assessment and get you started on your personalized treatment plan during your first 60-minute session.
