Testimonials

Meryl is excellent! Very helpful and knowledgeable. She is very kind and a great sense of humor. Couldn’t have a better therapist to work with.

Meryl is the best!!    Very caring, upbeat and into what she does. The treatment I received helped me a lot. Thank you!

Motive is a great facility along with awesome people!  Meryl is very professional but also very fun which adds to the great environment.  All of the other providers are great as well. Rachel makes it easy to schedule and is very sweet and accommodating! I can’t think of a thing to improve unless you could serve wine as well as great treatment!

Coming from someone who has been in PT for several injuries at various clinics, Motive is the best! It is hard to find a PT clinic where you get hands-on therapy and truly individualized attention, but Motive is it! Tyler is a great listener, and tailors his treatment plan to how I am feeling that day, as well as what he feels when he’s doing manual therapy. On top of the fact that the treatment aspect is top notch, Kristen at the front desk is very friendly and organized. I have never had to ask my doctor for a new PT script – they take care of everything and communicate with the doc along the way. I highly recommend!

I always have a  great therapy session. My therapist always pays attention to my needs and does not wonder off. Best place I have been to. Thank you Jen!!

The therapist Greg is a PT god. I have severe connective tissue disorder that leads to numerous injuries, requiring lots of treatment and he has helped me immensely. There’s not very many therapists out there who are knowledgeable of rare connective tissue disorders like Ehlers danlos syndrome… highly recommend Greg, especially if you need someone who can customize a treatment plan and is willing to listen and be patient with your unique needs.

I can’t speak about the quality of care I’ve received from Mike and his crew, without telling a bit of my story.  I’ve been seeing Mike for going on 5 years (more on than off).  I’ve got some chronic, degenerative disorders that have resulted in major injuries, major surgeries, and lengthy recovery times. The illnesses are rapidly taking away my quality of life.

Like I said, I’ve been seeing Mikey for years.  He is the one person who keeps me going on a day to day basis.  I see him 2-3x a week, and through traction, hands-on therapy, and a  rigorous exercise regiment, I still am able to live a somewhat normal life.  I know, without a doubt, it has been Mike’s hard work, knowledge, and compassion that have kept me going as long as I have.

I’ve been with Motive from day 1, and I have come to find that it’s not just Mike that cares and goes a step beyond what is expected.

It’s the entire Motive family.

Meryl is beyond skilled and patient!!! She has been so creative in figuring out why my knee is not working. She went above and beyond more than any other PT I have seen in my lifetime. And that is a lot! Thank you Meryl for all that you have done for me!!! If I could give more stars I would!!!

Meryl is awesome. Extremely knowledgeable.

Meryl Goldstein is the best! So smart, dedicated, and committed to finding out what is going on to help you feel better. She’s amazing.

I am so happy to have found Meryl. She is amazing with so much energy and such a positive attitude. For the first time in a long time, I feel optimistic that I will be able to effectively manage lower back pain. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

5 stars for John & Mark at Motive Sports! I went to them with almost 2 years of lower back pain that I thought would never go away. John explained to me why I was having the pain and built me a program that has allowed me to workout and do things I enjoy with little to no pain. I am so thankful for Motive Sports and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for results from a knowledgeable, friendly team.

I have been working with John and Mark since the Fall of 2020. I have suffered with chronic back pain off and on for years and they have shown me the light at the end of a very long tunnel. Chronic pain will never fully go away however John has equipped me techniques, stretches, and exercises I can do at home so that I can stay mobile and keep pain as low as possible. At the beginning of this journey I was not very flexible. Tilting back was something I couldn’t even do without flinching forward. John has taken the time with me twice a week since October to help me regain flexibility and I can now bend, tilt, stretch, arch and all the other fun movements without agonizing pain. The helpfulness doesn’t stop with just them though. The entire admin team are sweethearts. From the moment walking in to leaving, they are always there providing a warm welcome. When there are questions about insurance, they reach out to provide the answers for me. All in all, I love Motive Sports and the team they have built. Highly Recommend to everyone!

I am grateful to have discovered MOTIVE Physical Therapy. As active woman in her 50’s who has participated in Triathlons and other endurance events, I have vast experience with Physical Therapy and other body/injury treatments. The individual attention to my treatment plan and depth of knowledge provided at Motive has renewed my confidence in Physical Therapy as a treatment option. John and Mark were thorough in their assessment of my injury and the treatment progress. They do not rush through the treatment and consistently offered their undivided attention. I never had to stop my training and was able to complete my cycling event as planned!

Motive Sports & PT provides a personalized plan of action. When I initially met with John, he tested my strength and flexibility, documented specific measurements and noted my strength and stability. He then asked me for specific goals which influenced the treatment plan. In addition to eliminating the hamstring strain, I wanted to resume my regular exercise routine of spin classes, Body Pump and running 5-6 miles 2 times per week. I was impressed that John was not providing a “cookie cutter” approach, but developing a plan that met my objectives. In 6 short weeks, I was better than 100%.

The treatment plan was varied, building on my previous session’s success. John patiently demonstrated how to perform each exercise and stressed good form. The personalized attention and friendly atmosphere is a refreshing approach to sports PT. I left with a series of stretches that I have been following both pre and post workouts.

I’ve had chronic shoulder problems for years, so much so that my doctor thought I had torn things in my shoulder. After an MRI revealed no tears, I began seeing Mark at his practice. It’s been a thorough and invigorating process, but my shoulder health has never been better, and my pain level has decreased significantly. No more catching, failures in the joint aren’t happening anymore, and I hope to be pressing back to my original weights soon! Fantastic care, Mark is a one of a kind guy who truly cares about his profession. Would absolutely recommend to anyone seeking PT.

I came to Motive for a really tricky problem: pain in my tail bone. I had been seeing numerous other people to try to fix it (chiro, accupuncture, yoga) and wasn’t finding a lasting fix. I went to Motive for about 6 weeks. This involved early morning (for me early!) stretches, massage and workouts. It was PROACTIVE and super helpful. NOT only did it help my problem, but it also helped me know how to avoid it and fix it in the future. I can’t recommend Motive enough! Everyone working at Motive has been super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and HELPED me FIX my problem!

I came to Motive for back pain aggravated by lifting workouts and it was affecting my daily life with my kids. John was very knowledgeable about my injury and also the type of movements I was eager to get back to doing pain free. He worked to help me stabilize my back and start squatting and deadlifting without pain. I am so happy with my experience at Motive. John and all the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was always positive. I definitely recommend Motive to all of my friends and family regardless of the injury or activity level. Thank you!

MARK IS AMAZING!!!! I’ve had issues with TMJ for 10 years and after one session I felt immediate improvement!!! Everyone is friendly and accommodating and I always feel comfortable when I’m in the clinic! Thank you Mark 🙂

The staff from the minute I walked in the staff was friendly and inviting. I was referred by someone that goes to the same gym as me and extremely grateful he did. I was worried that my shoulder injury would never go away as I had been experiencing pain for at least 6 months. I tried other therapy places but to no avail. I almost did not want to go in because I was afraid the answer was going to be, “Just don’t workout for 2 months.” This was not the case. John was able to use his therapeutic tools and cupping techniques to get my shoulder pain from a 10 to a 0. This was all done WITHOUT having to stop going to the gym. Thank you to the staff and especially John. Highly Recommend!

Motive PT is amazing. I treated here after being injured in a car accident. The staff are courteous, professional, and most importantly, great at their jobs. I worked with John, who brought me back to 100% in no time. I always received one on one attention, which is hard to find in this field, especially at other chain-PT locations. I’ll be referring all of my friends and family here. Thanks! 

Dr mark really knows his stuff – best PT around

Mark Worrilow was incredible to work with. I had begun experiencing daily lower back pain that was also causing discomfort in my leg. I reached out to Mark, and he quickly found time to get me in for an evaluation. During my evaluation, Mark was extremely thorough and took the time to explain exactly what each technique was going to help us learn about my injury. After two weeks of performing daily exercises assigned by Mark and a second session in the office, I was feeling back to normal again. In addition to the high-quality care, the facility at Motive was also top-notch and super clean. I would highly recommend Mark and Motive to anyone in search of sports/physical therapy!

I have suffered from TMJ for years but within this past year, my pain escalated. That is when I decided to go to physical therapy to get some relief. Dr. Mark has MAGICAL HANDS! Within the first couple of sessions, I started to feel some relief. Mark’s knowledge and professionalism are unmatched. He even took it a step further by teaching me exercises to do at home after I graduated. I will definitely recommend Motive Sports and Physical Therapy to family and friends.

I could not have had a better experience. I had been experiencing some lower back pains from being in the gym and had been looking for a place to go. I learned that Mark had opened his own business and started Motive and so glad that he did. I was greeted by a young woman named Lauren who welcomed me to Motive with a warm greeting and helped make sure I was all set while I waited to be seen by Mark. The waiting area is very comfortable. Once Mark was ready to evaluate me it was a great experience. Mark was very personable and professional and making me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. In the end, I left with an abundance of information and a game plan towards resolving my pain. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to come back!
