I spent many months at a different PT facility and then 2 years of continued workouts attempting to recondition my body after years of recurring low back pain and spasms. In February 2026, I suffered a compression injury in a car while going over a massive speed bump/pothole in Costa Rica that left me back at square one. The silver lining of the entire miserable experience was that I found Dr. Louie at In Motion HB to address the new back pain after an MRI showed no visible injury, just extreme muscle guarding. In my initial assessment, he uncovered a severe imbalance in my pelvis due to a posterior rotation of my left hip that was causing weakness, overcompensation of the strong side, and resulting sciatic pain in my left glute. He felt it had been there for many years, and my prior PT got my core strong enough to compensate but didn't address the underlying problem. It has been a little over 6 months, and I "graduated" from simple stretches, new strength-building, and corrective moves to working with the fitness coaches in their practice. They have restored my ability to do any activity without fear or pain and built new confidence in my workouts. The insight, experience, education, and support I received from Dr. Louie are next level. He explained everything in detail and set realistic goals and expectations. He is on speed dial for the rest of my life. I am 63 years old, and in the best shape of my life and getting stronger by the day. My goal is to avoid any medication or back surgery in my lifetime, and I feel confident that the right PT and a commitment to movement and strength are the only way to accomplish those goals. The "vibe" at In Motion is fun, friendly, and supportive, and I now call them my fitness family. My experience was so amazing and the results so obvious that my husband started going to Dr. Louie to recondition his legs and build glute strength to support his knees because of old sports injuries. In just a few weeks, his legs look like they did at 40, and he is doing activities he was previously afraid to do. I have already referred several friends and clients to In Motion. If you have injuries, chronic pain, have had surgery, or just want to improve your fitness, do yourself a favor and let these amazing people help you get to the best physical version of yourself. read more

I have worked with all of the PT's here at In Motion and they are all by far the best. Mitchelle and Maddy are thorough and spend time going everything to make sure I am healing properly and they work through the tightness in my ankle. Their assistants are wonderful and make sure my form is correct in all my exercises. I i'm so happy I chose this place for my recovery and should I or my husband ever need PT in the future I will definitely be back read more

In Motion O.C. - Sports Medicine Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

The team is amazing! They're so attentive and the customer service is amazing. Also, everyone is so knowledgeable in their space. I personally am a full-time client on their gym side, but whenever I have pain or discomfort, the coaches are so easy and quick to grab someone from the physical therapist side to assist, but the coaches are also trained on pain management by the gym Manager, Edgar. Incredible coach. Easy parking! Very clean and bright. Decor is so cute as well. Everyone takes great care of their people and clients. read more

My lower back recovery journey with In Motion O.C. has been nothing short of amazing. I've been working with Mitchelle, and she has given me significantly more confidence in my movement. What really stands out is how she explains every exercise--she doesn't just tell me what to do, but also why I'm doing it, which helps me fully understand the purpose behind each movement. She's also gone above and beyond by adjusting my program when I told her I started playing golf. That level of care and attention shows how much she truly prioritizes her patients' goals and lifestyle. Mitchelle is not the therapist we deserve but definitely the one we need. I'm beyond grateful for the progress I've made under her guidance. read more

My son is a freshman football player and attends physical therapy to improve his strength, mobility, and performance. His physical therapist is knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly invested in helping him reach his goals. Every session is well planned, and they take the time to explain each exercise and ensure he's using proper technique. He's become stronger, more confident, and better prepared for football because of their guidance. We truly appreciate the excellent care and highly recommend this physical therapist. read more

I had spine surgery last year which caused atrophy, numbness and tingling in my left arm and hand. I've gone to a few physical therapy locations in Huntington Beach for past injuries. I've been going to see Louie at In Motion OC on Bolsa Chica and Heil for the past few months and highly recommend Louie and this location for post surgery therapy. Louie is friendly, he listens and analyzes your current condition and takes his time to explain your recovery plan. This location is clean, plenty of space and has a separate gym next store that they utilize. The aides are very friendly and caring. There's enough aides present that someone is always with you to make sure you are doing your exercises correctly and that you are safe. I go to PT twice a week. Louie is gentle and non-intimidating. I look forward to my visits. Louie analyzes my current condition and determines if I continue with my existing program or if we need to add or increase my difficulty level. At the end of each workout Louie does massage therapy my arm and shoulder. Scheduling or rescheduling an existing appointment is easy. If you are looking for a PT location that has knowledgeable, professional and kind staff you can't go wrong with this location. read more

I absolutely love In Motion OC!! I have been dealing with chronic pain from rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, and degenerative disc disease for years. I have been treated by many specialists and prescribed a boatload of medication, none of which provided much relief. I have tried other physical therapy clinics in the past, but typically gave up treatment after a few weeks, due to overcrowded centers and little 1:1 attention. In Motion OC is different. They provide individualized therapy, centered to each individual patient. My therapist, Michelle, is absolutely amazing! I have a wide array of symptoms and there hasn't been one thing Michelle has not been able to address. And not only is Michelle professional and knowledgeable, she is extremely entertaining, making therapy fun for all her patients! I highly recommend Michelle and the entire In Motion OC team! read more

Dr. Jesse and Dr. Mitchelle were amazing. They treated my daughter who sprained her wrist and enabled her to recover quickly. Very impressed and already recommended OC in Motion to several of our friends. read more

I couldn't ask for more from a PT office! I've rehabbed from various injuries here over the past two years and have always received top-notch care.

This is my first time going to a PT for my lower back pain that was bothering me for months. Mitchelle and assistant Noah are amazing!! They truly care about their patients and create such a welcoming environment. I never dreaded going in for sessions and now my back is back to normal! read more

My orthopedic doctor referred me for Physical Therapy. I specifically came to see Louie Labial, as he had handled a complex back recovery for my husband a few years ago. It's been a great decision on my part. I noticed improvements in my condition early on, and continue to improve with each visit. Louie and his staff are all great at what they do, are very helpful, and really good at explaining things. I highly recommend Louie and his colleagues if P.T. is necessary. read more

Mitchelle Arvizu in Huntington Beach is amazing! I went to a few other physical therapy places for my foot issue, but unfortunately, none of them really knew how to treat it, which was very frustrating. My orthopedic doctor recommended Mitchelle, and I'm so glad I found her. She is incredibly knowledgeable, takes the time to listen, and really knows what she's doing. I've seen a big improvement since working with her. Highly recommend! read more

I've been seeing Mitchell now off and on over the last 7 years at In Motion OC for different injuries. She's extremely talented in her diagnostic and manual skills and always knows how to put a smile on my face! Because of the incredible care I've been given at IMOC, I'm now back to working out and I am able to keep up with my kids. I'm so grateful for the entire IMOC team and all the care and help I've been given! read more

Dr. Maddie is THE best! I visited for the first time today with some shin pain from running. Check in was super easy and a total breeze. The clinic was so cool, lots of equipment and they have a pretty amazing looking gym adjoining the clinic. She greeted me warmly and was very attentive to what my needs were and I came out with a list of exercises to do and honestly, my shin muscle felt much nicer and stronger as I walked out. read more

I showed up 6 weeks ago unable to stand still for longer than three minutes without significant hip pain. After two weeks of working with Maddie my pain was reduced by 90% and would have been tolerable if that was where I ended up. Today I "graduated" and thanks to Maddie/In Motion I have not experienced any pain while standing for the last three weeks. In addition to eliminating my standing pain, today my overall body feels better than it has in a long while. I am so thankful for the professional care I received at In Motion and could not recommend them any more highly. I will miss the twice weekly visits, the smiling faces and the welcoming atmosphere but know that Maddie has equipped me to keep my hip problems at bay moving forward. read more

I try not to give bad reviews. BUT I will this time. this place saw my dad, and stated "I can't help him, because he doesn't have the strength to walk. we do light psychical therapy. " I explained, this is why I want him here. they stated they don't to TBI patients. Prior to this I asked them 5x are they willing to work with a TBI patient Charged me quiet a hefty for the initial evaluation only to be rejected. I felt scammed to say the least. read more

Dr Mitchelle Arvizu is simply the best! I've struggled with pain for my entire life and I've been to many physical therapists. Mitchelle is different in that she really sees me, listens and addresses the problems. She helps me come up with ways to adjust my home environment as well as providing simple exercises that I can take with me at home and when I travel. I actually look forward to P.T. because I leave feeling better. It changes my outlook for my whole day! read more

When I first came in to see Dr. Mitchelle, I could barely sit without being in excruciating pain. I couldn't even throw a ball for my dog to catch! Fast forward, I now not only know how to lift gravy things properly, I can get back to doing what I love and feel hopeful again! Gunther, Dr. Mitchelle'd assistant, has also been amazing in my recovery journey. It's always a positive energy seeing them. read more

I worked with PT Mitchelle at the HB office for over a year and she was fantastic. The facility is very well kept and clean and everyone there is extremely friendly. Mitchelle personally helped me a ton by teaching me numerous different exercises that I could also do at home. And those have really been a game changer for me day to day. Highly highly recommend going here if you need PT. read more

This is my favorite physical therapy clinic that I've been to in SoCal, and I've been to quite a few in both the LA and OC county areas. I couldn't recommend my PT, Matt, more. He was patient and listened to my challenges, provided an in depth recovery plan and was always there to help me modify it as I progressed. It was also nice to work with him as he is a former athlete and is an avid gym goer, which I can relate to. All in all, if you're looking for a PT in Huntington Beach, please give this clinic a shot. I guarantee you'll love it. read more

Not all Physical Therapy places are equal in the quality of care you receive! It took 6 years and 8 different PT places till I came to InMotion OC. They were highly recommended by my co-workers and I finally got the treatment I needed. After 20 years of debilitating chronic pain, I'm finally pain free and prioritize my muscle health. I lost so much muscle from the other PT places telling me not to lift anything over 10 lbs. I was told I could never again do any of the things I love like scuba diving or paddle boarding. InMotion is different. They believe motion is the lotion and focus on getting you to the place where you can do whatever you want. They really care about their patients and listen to you! I think that is key. They make sure you're comfortable and will spend extra time to show you an exercise and adjust your corrective exercises as needed. Matt and Michelle are the best physical therapists I've ever worked with and I'm grateful to them for how youthful I feel. I can do and lift things Ive never been able to do. I couldn't lift over 10 lbs and now I can deadlift 205lbs! read more

Jessie is an amazing Physical Therapist. The perfect combination of knowledge and care. In Motion O.C. is top notch. Professional, effective, caring. They did wonders with my body after my back injury. read more

I became a patient of Mitchelle's in July when my lower back decided to freeze up on me. From the first day she treated me I knew I was in good hands (pun intended). I've been in therapy off and on for the last 20 years, mostly because of my low back, and Mitchelle is without a doubt THE BEST physical therapist I've ever seen. From the start she showed me different ways to move my body to prevent another 'episode'. Her attention to detail and her knowledge of how the body works is extremely impressive. The stretches and strength building exercises she assigned me were challenging (but doable) and very effective as I was back on my feet, so to speak, in no time. Have to give a shout out to Gunther! He is also quite knowledgeable and helped make sure I was doing everything correctly. I HIGHLY recommend Mitchelle to anyone looking for a physical therapist. Mary Reyna PS. Wanted to mention Mitchelle's bedside manner and calm demeanor is icing on the cake! read more

I highly recommend this spot for PT. Everyone from the front desk to the PT's are all compassionate and friendly. The clinic is clean and welcoming. Matt, my PT, really listened to me and took time putting a unique plan in place for me. Every week he re-assessed my progress and continued to get my strength back. Matt spent time with me, encouraged me and cared about my success. Looking for an amazing PT, look no further! read more

This office is awesome!! You will not be disappointed! Everyone from Physical Therapist, Amanda to Anna and Matt who schedule. They are all friendly, passionate, knowledgeable and caring. The communication is great! My daughter is a teen athlete who is passionate about softball. Amanda helped my teen rehab from a prior injury that flared up. Amanda was relatable to my teen, firm but kind and honest with her. Amanda made her work hard and it's paid off. My daughter is back on the field and feeling good. At my daughters final visit, Amanda gave her a hug and asked her to come back to visit, even shadow if the field interests her. During a tough time personally, my daughter truly had an awesome experience at In Motion O.C. Thank you all for being so wonderful to me and my kiddo. read more

The quality of care and extent of expertise of the physical therapy doctors and their assistants is outstanding. I was barely able to walk when I started therapy and after 3 months was able to kayak and hike glaciers in Alaska. I continue to receive therapy 2x weekly and continue to hike and lead an active life. Dr.s Rossman and Cowan do exceptional diagnoses and treatment of my weekly aches and pains and I highly recommend In Motion. read more

My PT Matt has been very helpful treating my knee pain that started after playing pickleball. I am on the mend and back out on the court!​

I've had to have PT several times in the last 16 years. In Motion OC is far and away my favorite. Kind and knowledgeable staff and honestly fun to be around. They take care not to push me too far and are so encouraging! I feel my balance returning and I'm getting stronger every day. On another note, even after the pandemic, I am masking and my PT continually masks for my sake. I don't ask her to, she does this on her own because that's the level of consideration you can expect from them. I cannot recommend it more. My PT is Dr. Madeline Cowan and I highly recommend her and you'll love her assistant Elizabeth too! She always has a smile ready to greet you. read more

I cannot recommend In Motion OC HB enough. Amanda and her staff are excellent skilled practitioners who care about their patients and moving them forward in their progress towards wellness. This facility IS NOT like others who want to milk your insurance for profit. They are honest in their assessments and keep up-to-date progress notes. Every session Amber meets with you and determines your progress and makes any needed modifications to your treatment. While performing your exercises at the facility, you are constantly being watched to ensure you are doing them correctly. On your first visit, you leave with a folder of exercises to do at home, and there is also an app you can download for more clarification. In Motion OC HB is a beautiful, well appointed facility with a welcoming atmosphere and a top notch staff. I recently moved from the East Coast and am so happy I found this place. read more

I appreciate the care and attention that was needed to get better after a minor shoulder injury. Matt, the main therapist, and his staff were very attentive and made sure I was doing my exercises correctly with good form. I'm proud to say I didn't need surgery and they got me better with their expertise. read more

I would recommend In motion OC every day of every week 100%! Their location is always clean, comforting, energetic and filled with progress! Matt Rossman and Brittney were my main Physical Therapists. They were phenomenal individually and as a team, constantly in communication to make sure that my goals were met and that I was cared for. Each day they had positive attitudes with life giving advice and knowledge. When I tore my ACL it was a nightmare, it really wore down on my positivity and flow of life. After surgery I had no movement or ability to even walk. Almost a year later I can now say that with the help of Matt and Brittney, I am able to be confident in my work place, in sports, and in life post ACL reconstructive surgery. read more

Finally!!! A remarkable group of caring professionals in the field of physical therapy. Everything about my entire experience since I started my treatment with this facility has been phenomenal. Giving credit when it's well deserved is important and I have to say that Amanda (Doctor of Physical Therapy) has been instrumental to my recovery. The amount of care she provides during each session is something I have not seen by many physical therapy clinics from Los Angeles to San Diego County. YES, this opinion matters for having my fair share of injuries and treatment process since I spent the last 20 plus years in the military. I have seen my fair share of physical therapist out there. If you are reading this, perhaps you were on the same boat as I was months ago looking for the right facility and professional medical care to get back on track of being healthy again. The entire staff of this particular clinic understands what it means to have above reproach customer service. Anna (front desk) has been on point with accommodating all scheduled sessions to include cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances. Lastly, I give Kayla (Physical Therapy Aide) for never letting me out of her sight when performing my movements during each session. I can tell you that most facilities out there will leave you by yourself for that hour and just collect the significant amount from your insurance without evaluating each of your performance to ensure it was done correctly and systematically. I am grateful for having found this place and highly recommend this particular facility to anyone who seeks the proper treatment. I don't know about you but having a clean immaculate place is important to me. I pray they are paying this entire staff well for keeping the clients and owner happy. Check it out...you will not be disappointed. read more
