Bodies In Motion Physical Therapy, Inc.

Colleen has been amazing for me. I was sure I’d need back surgery but she has gotten me to the point where the chronic pain is reduced to a very manageable state without any medication. I will continue to go until I have no pain at all. I’m sure she can do it. The other women are wonderful as well.

I never thought I could recover from a serious knee condition. I would have never considered traditional physical therapy (after 10 years of traditional, cumulatively in my lifetime). Colleen and team have a very unique approach — it’s hands on, out-​of-​the box thinking that has yielded nothing but results since I started. I will never fully recover, but I am blown away daily by my progress and the confidence I have gained since working with Bodies In Motion PT. I have so much gratitude!

I am writing this review because Colleen has saved me from three operations.
1. A shoulder that was dislocated.
2. A knee I thought was damaged and had to be operated on.
3. She new the difference between a arm pain and cardiac issue.
My cardiac doctor is Dominic Curatola. He is known as one of the number one heart doctors in the bay area. When I dislocated my shoulder, he suggested I see Colleen.
I did and she found more than my shoulder issue. My body was out of line and she fixed problems that have been with me for years.
I had arm pain and she suggested I see Dr. C. A few days later I had a small operation on my heart. Thanks Colleen. You saved my life.
The knee, I blew it out skiing. I was so upset that I was going to be out for months with an operation. Well she fixed it.
Believe me before you get cut, check her out.

I was helped by Kate, a PT here, months ago. She was kind and professional. She thoroughly explained what was going on with my knee and how to rehab it and how to prevent future injuries. I definitely recommend Bodies In Motion and Kate!

My son went to Bodies in Motion for knee problems and the physical therapy was very successful.

My personal experience has been with Colleen at Bodies in Motion. I had a nagging foot pain back in early 2006 after a workout at the gym. The pain persisted and increased in intensity to the point that I could not place any substantial weight on my right foot. I consulted an Orthopedic Surgeon, the doctor after doing an examination of my foot and going over questions regarding my condition diagnosed me with Plantar Fasciitis and referred me to Bodies in Motion. I scheduled an appointment and went in for the first consultation with Colleen, after going over questions related to the pain that I was suffering, she had me to do some movements to evaluate my condition. After finishing the set she was quickly able to determine that what had been originally diagnosed as Plantar Fasciitis was in reality related to my lower back due to a muscle imbalance between my lower back muscles and my lower abdominal muscles. Colleen treated my lower back condition during that same visit, and right away I was able to get results by being able to put weight on my right foot and substantial reduction of pain on my right foot. It took several months of PT to get back to close to 100% but Colleen had me back on my feet.
Over Thanksgiving weekend in 2011 I suffered an injury on my left hip/​glute during a heavy leg workout at the gym, over the weekend the pain became, much worse. The first thing that I did when the weekend was over was to to call Bodies in Motion hoping that Colleen was still there (had been 5 years since I had her as my PT) so that I could schedule an appointment, I was fortunate to be able to be scheduled into her busy schedule. The recovery took longer than my previous injury in 2006 due to the nature of the injury but I was very satisfied with the help that Colleen provided during my recovery.
Only gave it a 4 star due to Colleen’s busy schedule, and perhaps because the facility is not as fancy as other bigger facilities. But when it comes down to knowledge about their profession/​field Colleen is a standout.

My experience with Bodies in Motion has been nothing short of incredible! When I suffered a severe ankle sprain I worked with Colleen who was very knowledgable and kind. Being someone who loves sports I was lost without running. Colleen helped me to a safe and speedy recovery. I also got to run on the Ultra G (anti-​gravity treadmill type deal) while my ankle was still healing. To be able to sweat and run again helped save me during my recovery process!!!
Also, as a coach I have referred many athletes both young and old to see Colleen, Kate and Marten. They are extremely knowledgeable especially when it comes to working with high school athletes. Our athletes have come back strong, healthy and ready to compete!
Highly recommend bodies in motion!

I would never use this place again, I had Kate as my PT and she is very nice but lacks the expertise and professionalism of a real PT as well as the office staff, very disorganized in their paperwork and they don’t even go over what they will be doing for you. I just started going to another Physical Therapist «Breakthrough» Physical Therapy in Sunnyvale and what a difference and very professional. Bodies in Motion lacks lots of expertise in comparison. I should have used Collen as recommended. Oh well.
