Movement IQ Physical Therapy

I was very impressed with the care that I received. My bicep and shoulder had been hurting for several months and wasn’t going away. After only two treatments, I am back to normal. Thank you so much Michael Ko!

Absolutely LOVE Dr. Michael Ko! I’ve been in the fitness industry for a long time and have seen many health professionals and I have to say, I think I found my PT home! As a Crossfit coach, I would highly recommend him!

I have some hip and knee pain I been resting for a while due to my addiction to crossfit. I never took weeks off and went in 4 – 5 times a week. This took a toll on me and one side of my hip was the first to let me know that I’d gone overboard.
I went to Dr. Ko with what was bothering me and he gave me a few tests to pinpoint where I needed work. What is also nice is that he participates in crossfit himself so we were able to easily communicate about the common movements that I would perform in the gym as well as how my sedentary office job affects my hip. He baselined me before performing any work on my hip so I knew I already had improved results by the end of the session. Lastly, he showed me a few simple movements to do at home or in the office to help my hip. He is very personable and I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Ko has hands of magic. I teach martial arts all day and it takes a toll on the body. For the past 2 months I’ve been noticing a limited range of mobility and some very obvious imbalances. In steps Dr. Ko!!! At your typical physical therapy facility, you may see the practitioner for up to 10 minutes. They then assign you some exercises you can do at home and hand you off to either a physical therapy assistant or aide. I know this from both sides as a patient and from working in a physical therapy office. Now, what Dr. Ko does should be happening in more therapy offices. He spends the whole hour with you, assessing and manipulating the affected area. I walked away feeling immediate relief and was given some exercises I can do at home to continue feeling good. Dr. Ko’s philosophy on treatment is refreshing and is much needed considering the physical demands of my job and hobbies. THANK YOU!!! I will be coming back.

I suffered a sports injury that injured my right shoulder. I experience lots of pain daily and had very limited movement with my right arm. After three weeks, I went to Movement IQ Physical Therapy. After the first time Dr. Ko worked on my shoulder; the pain was significantly reduced and I was able to use my arm once again. I saw him a few more times. Every time I saw him my shoulder felt better, the pain was reduced and my range of movement increased. I’m very satisfied, thankful for his services and wished had gone to see him sooner. I’m highly recommend Movement IQ Physical Therapy and Dr. Ko to all of those who have sports or any physical injuries.

My husband is in his mid 50’s. He is in better shape than 99% of men his age because of his diet but primarily because he trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 5 to 6 days per week. His addiction, for lack of a better word, causes injuries. The one that nagged him the most was his shoulder. He had an MRI and was diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff and a swollen labrum. It was very painful but he refused to let it rest. He mainly tried to do bjj without using his left arm. My husband suffered sleepless nights, could not take off his shirt by himself and basically lost all the strength in his shoulder. He could deal with the pain but took aspirin on a daily basis. Finally, he sought out Michael Ko, Doctor of Physical Therapy. After five treatments, my husband was completely healed. I mean completely. Dr. Ko explained that my husband’s muscle groups weren’t working together properly. My husband said Dr. Ko is the nicest guy. He explains everything as he is working on the body so your not left to guess what’s going on. My husband also said Dr. Ko gets so focused that it’s almost like he gets in a zone. My husband said he’s never been impressed with any Physical Therapist that he’s experienced in the past until now. My husband who is a Purple belt summed it up perfectly… he said Dr. Ko is a freaking Black Belt when it comes to physical therapy!!!

Dr. Ko was very helpful to me when I injured my left hamstring. He was able to identify the problem and put me on a path to correct it. He is extremely knowledgeable in his practice and takes his time with you to ensure you understand. Dr. Ko is a very positive person at a time when you may need that positivity most.

I have Traumatic arthropathy due to an injury to my hip joint, which has resulted in degenerative changes to my femur, limitations in movement and pain. With that said I had learned to accept my pain and discomfort, however after having a consultation with Michael my options seemed to change to include a sense of hopefulness. Michael is very thorough, knowledgable, honest and kind. He does not seem to stick with the traditional PT exercises but rather explores and educates in order to determine what individual plan best suits each individual. I highly recommend his services!

I saw Dr. Ko for a shoulder injury that my doctor had told me was most likely a rotator cuff tear. Feeling anxious and scared that I would need to have surgery to repair the damage, I visited him to see if there was anything I could do to relieve the pain. During just one session, Dr. Ko not only provided me with the tools to begin healing my shoulder, he also correctly determined that my injury was not a rotator cuff tear after all! I had to get an MRI and see a specialist in order for my doctor to finally come to the same conclusion…
I’ve seen Dr. Ko for a knee injury as well and my knee pain is significantly reduced. Thanks to Dr. Ko for taking the time to work on me and giving me back my peace of mind every single time!

Dr. Ko is an extremely knowledgeable therapist. After a shoulder surgery that didn’t heal quite right (and after working through pain, loss of neck mobility, and other therapies for over a year), Dr. Ko worked on it and, after one session, I had regained my full range of neck mobility, almost all the pain was gone, and the grinding noise in the joint was eliminated. After a second session to address knee pain, he had eliminated 90% of the pain. His methods are very different than those of other pts I’ve seen… he spent the entire session each time (60 – 90 minutes) working on me directly, (rather than just a few minutes after I’ve been handed off to an assistant to do generic exercises, as is usually the case with pts).
As a yoga studio owner, I take a great deal of care when recommending someone, since I consider my own reputation to be on the line as well… I have recommended Dr. Ko to several of my students without any hesitation whatsoever and he has provided significant relief to those who have contacted him!
