As an active-duty Soldier recovering from leg reconstructive surgery and new to the area, I had to do my own research to find aquatic therapy nearby because I kept being referred to facilities much farther away. After calling multiple locations throughout the area, I was relieved and excited to find Motion Plus Aquatic Therapy, especially because they accept TRIWEST insurance. That was much harder to find than I expected, as many other facilities do not accept it. I've been in physical therapy for the past seven years across three different states during my military career, and I can honestly say this facility stands out. The therapists are knowledgeable, encouraging, and creative in how they adjust exercises as I continue to get stronger. They consistently challenge me in ways that help me progress while building confidence to return to the activities I enjoy. The electrotherapy services they offer are also impressive. The demonstration they performed on my leg was amazing, and I only wish military and insurance programs covered more of these treatment options. One thing that may seem small but really impressed me was the cleanliness of the facility. After visiting countless therapy clinics over the years, this place has some of the cleanest air vents, ceilings, and treatment areas I've ever seen. It shows pride in the facility and attention to detail. When you're lying on your back during therapy, seeing clean vents and ceilings instead of dust and dirt, as I've seen in many other facilities, is actually reassuring. While the therapy pool is smaller than those I've used on Army installations and at some larger facilities, that's completely understandable given the lack of nearby military medical facilities that offer aquatic therapy. For residents of San Pedro, Long Beach, and the surrounding communities, I believe this is one of the best aquatic therapy options available. I highly recommend Motion Plus Aquatic Therapy to anyone seeking quality rehabilitation, aquatic therapy, and a team that genuinely cares about helping patients regain their strength, mobility, and quality of life. read more

I'm going to be very honest here... When my doctor referred me, I figured they would give me some generic exercises just for insurance money. But honestly, these guys are so hands on and helpful! Mike is from the Philippines and has studied physical therapy and he's very passionate about it. They check on you less than every 10 minutes to make sure you're not in too much pain. The environment is very happy and it makes me feel safe. Here is who is working the front desk has now joined the physical therapy team and he is excellent. Danny is a relatable guy who has also been very helpful and caring. Kudos to this team because you guys are excellent! The space is clean with great music playing 90s & 2000s R&b or 80s workout music! Great environment. read more

I reached out to Motion Plus for support with my knee and later my back and sciatic issues. I attended pool sessions at the Lawndale location and received one-on-one instruction in the gym at the Long Beach location. Both locations boast exceptionally kind, skilled, and attentive physical therapists. Throughout my treatment, they provided steadfast support, enabling me to maintain mobility and independence. I am deeply grateful to each staff member, who played a pivotal role in my recovery. My heartfelt thanks go out to the entire team for their outstanding care. -Gaby read more

No one answered the phone, emails, or text messages to set up appointments. The Lawndale location has an older lady with special needs, apparently, at the desk who mumbles when she talks and throws out insulations when you ask her to speak up. The last time I came no one answered the phone, emails, or texts, either. Multiple insults came my way at me and my young daughter again. She had me redo the pre-authorization for some minor details. That took over a month. My appointment for an evaluation by the physical therapist was set out 3 months away, on purpose to irritate, since nobody is there as usual in the midst of summer. There is no reason for any of this. I had my pre-authorization complete and in hand at the beginning of May 2023. It took over 3 months to get an appointment scheduled because no one answered the phone, email, or text messages, and I had to be evaluated by a therapist before my therapy could start. Ultimately had to go in numerous times to schedule but finally had 3 therapy sessions in mid to late August. Finally. But now it's late August the hottest summer on record, setting a World Record. I wanted to begin therapy at the beginning of May when it was cool but was forced to begin in late August amid a great heat wave. I'm a returning customer, I have been here for over 2.5 years before and during the pandemic. I came in as a quadriplegic, with collapsed lungs, heart failure, and bearly alive. Now I am here for rehabilitation after having a lung removed. I'm no longer a quadriplegic. Almost back to normal, thank God. Lots of hard work! I fell from dizziness on my third visit here because of the heat wave, the pool is turned up too high at 98° - 100° plus, which used to be set at a high 80s max, and the hot sun shines in the pool room, with no curtains. So I cancelled my next three visits awaiting a cool down. Then the older lady at the front desk, Zen Bone, contacted me and canceled all my appointments because I missed them. Just unbelievable. I plan on contacting the owner on Monday, 9/18/23. If no result, I will then contact the licensing board. I've seen many and know of licensing violations. I contacted Zen Bone each time I cancelled and told her I had heat issues especially the 100° plus pool. The owner is Henrick Macalintal I believe. Wish me luck. read more

Started therapy for my hip and back problems, at the beginning of 2024. When I started, I was having a tough time with doing my daily routines. I couldn't stand, walk or even sit for too long. This place has been amazing at helping me strengthen my body. I am now able to do so much more than I have been in years. Everyone here is great, they're all very professional and friendly.

If I could give more stars I would!! The staff at Motion Plus is AMAZING they're all so kind ! As soon as you walk in you're greeted with smiles, I definitely got a positive vibe from everyone. This is a place I would recommend for anyone if they need therapy. I came here when I tore my meniscus and I struggled with walking but over the time that I've spent from coming I am in much better shape. Huge thank you to Mike though because he was my main therapist from the beginning! I am forever grateful to this staff for helping me get better and feeling good about myself again! read more

Don't bother going here, the staff is Very Rude! Your first time that you're in the pool you're told that you will be on your own doing your exercises in the future. The only exercises that I was taught were simple stretches. I can learn a lot more watching online videos. They don't observe while you're doing your e exercises (first time) he was on his computer 100% of the time. Don't waste your PT Money here! Waste of My Time! read more

Its my 5th PT session today and I am very happy with the progress I made on the range of motion on my left shoulder. I came in with chronic pain on my shoulder and left SC jt and paralysis of my left trapezius muscle. Denise and Henrick did an amazing job on their plan of care and treatment plan. I love the combination of modalities and exercises they gave me to improve my strength and decrease my pain. They use Extracorporeal Magnetic Transduction Therapy device, ultrasound , cupping, red cord, shockwave and joint mobilization. Not all therapy clinic provides modalities that can help with pain and discomfort. As a therapist myself, I highly recommend this place. So grateful to all the amazing staff of motion plus aquatic and therapy center!! read more

Similar to Michael S.'s comments, no one answered or returned even email communiques. Appears to be a mismanaged, substandard, unprofessional, and unresponsive medical facility which does not value new or potential clientele. How on earth does this place stay in business, and who is giving them 5-star ratings??? read more

I broke my ankle in February of 2022 and began therapy mid-May at Motion Plus Aquatic & Therapy Center Long Beach location while still using a medical boot and crutches. I have been going for therapy with them two times a week for around a year and four months. And during my time with them I have regained my ankle's mobility and have even improved my physical strength. By keeping up with my exercises at home and following the teams' recommendations not only did my ankle improve more than my doctor's expectations, but it is also almost at the same level that it used to be. And as a bonus of following the exercise routines at home I was even able to lose 47 lb. and maintain the weight off. Everyone at the therapy center is extremely welcoming and friendly, they have all been very attentive to the exercises my ankle needed and they have been very encouraging throughout the entire process. The whole team goes above and beyond to help everyone at the center making it a truly memorable experience. I will miss all the team Mike, Denise, Harris, Dianne, and Jocelyn. You have all treated me like part of your family at Motion Plus which I am grateful for. I give a special thanks Mike and Denise for pushing me to my limits which has helped me greatly in the long run. I will take with me everything that I have learned during my stay and promise to keep up with my exercises. I would definitely recommend others to come to Motion Plus Aquatic & Therapy Center in Long Beach. And once again thank you read more

In 2022 I suffered from lower back pain, I had multiple X-rays but yet there was no underlying issue. My doctor recommended physical therapy and sent me here. Not only is the place close to my home, they have parking and a clean workplace but the therapists were so kind and welcoming. Right when you come in you are greeted with a smile, they explain your exercises: which muscles you're working out and why and how to do them correctly without hurting yourself. I was lucky enough to get aquatic therapy there too. It's a 4 feet deep pool so it's okay for non swimmers like me. I now have little to no pain in my lower back! Whenever I do after a long day, I know the stretches that I have to do that were recommended for me during the sessions. Thank you everyone at the Long Beach location for helping me able to walk straighter, lessen the pain and even get tone. Shout out to Denise, Mike, Harris, Diane, and Joselyn, thank you guys for making me feel welcomed and for being helpful. read more
