Pregnancy is a beautiful season—but staying active can feel a little different when your body is changing every week. 🤰🩷

That’s why FIT4BABY was created: a pregnancy-safe fitness class designed to help you stay strong, connected, and confident throughout your pregnancy.

And now, FIT4BABY is at MOTI Physiotherapy in Playa Vista!

🤰 Every Saturday at 9:00 AM
📍 MOTI Physiotherapy, Playa Vista

Come move with us, meet other expecting moms, and build your village before baby arrives. Because you shouldn’t have to navigate pregnancy alone. 🫶

A special thank you to Dr. Caroline, Dr. Alex, and Dr. Christine who gave back to the dance community by sharing their expertise.
And thank you to the dancers who came out for a Free dance screen in honor of National Dance Day on September 19!
As you can see, these dancers were guided through multidirectional movement patterns for a comprehensive look at how they move…including lots of rotation!

An incredible honor for MOTI Physiotherapy to be recognized by West Coast University for our commitment to clinical education.

When we created MOTI (Movement Therapy Institute), we intentionally built education into our identity. We wanted to create a place where patients could learn about their bodies, clinicians could continue to grow, and students could develop into exceptional PTs.

We’re especially proud of our partnership with West Coast University and the many students who have completed clinical rotations at MOTI…and even more proud of those who have gone on to join the MOTI team after graduation.

Clinical education is about more than teaching students what to do. It’s about teaching them how to think, giving them space to ask questions and challenge ideas, and helping them develop the curiosity, confidence, communication, and professionalism that define great physical therapists.

Our clinicians who serve as mentors and clinical instructors deserve enormous credit for investing their time, energy, and experience in the next generation of our profession. Special thanks to Dr. Ann DeGrey and Dr. Jacob Moyer, who have played major roles in developing the clinical education partnerships at MOTI.

To the students who have come through our doors…thank you for challenging us, bringing new ideas, and reminding us why we fell in love with physical therapy in the first place.

We are honored to play a small part in developing the future of physical therapy; and incredibly proud that so many West Coast University graduates have become part of the MOTI family!

Thank you, West Coast University, for this recognition and for trusting us to help educate the next generation of physical therapists. by @moti_pt

Pre-season starts with knowing your body.

Yesterday, our Physical Therapists facilitated injury screens for the pre-professional dancers at LA Establishment, giving each dancer and their teaching staff valuable insight into physical strengths, areas for improvement, and potential problem areas.

Think of it as a musculoskeletal pre-season checkup: identify issues early, make a plan, and give these athletes the tools to stay healthy throughout the year.

A great day of teamwork, education, and setting these dancers up for a strong season.

Editing after a long shoot day? Your desk setup might be the reason your neck/back hurts 💻🪑

As a PT and photographer, here’s what I actually fix in my own setup:

1️⃣ Monitor height: at eye level (top of screen or just slightly below) + Length: about an arm’s length away(~20–27 in)
2️⃣ Elbows at 90–100° w/ wrist neutral/flat
3️⃣ Feet flat, thighs parallel to the floor
4️⃣ Mouse right next to your keyboard — no reaching
5️⃣ Move every hour — sitting still is the real enemy 🚶

Reality check⚠️: no one has perfect posture but having more body awareness in how you sit and trying to change positions/stretch after every hour or so will have you gaining longevity in your career

💡Pro tip: pair these adjustments with upper body strengthening exercises such as low rows, pec flys, and chin tucks taken in Los Angeles, California by @moti_pt

How many of these myths have you heard? 🤰✨

For years, pregnant moms have been told to “take it easy,” avoid lifting, skip core work, or stop exercising altogether. The truth? Research has come a long way—and movement is one of the best gifts you can give yourself and your baby during pregnancy.

💗 Staying active during pregnancy can help:
• Reduce back and pelvic pain
• Build strength for labor and delivery
• Improve energy and mood
• Support a smoother postpartum recovery
• Connect you with other expecting moms who are on the same journey

The key isn’t doing more—it’s doing the right kind of movement with instructors who understand the pregnant body.

✨ Join us for FIT4BABY!
Our next on-going session begins Friday, July 11 at 9:00 AM at MOTI Physiotherapy in Playa Vista.

FIT4BABY is designed specifically for every stage of pregnancy and is led by pre/postnatal certified instructors in a welcoming, supportive community of moms-to-be.

🤍 Your first class is FREE!

Comment BABY below or send us a DM, and we’ll send you all the details and help you reserve your spot!

Tag an expecting mama who needs to hear these truths today. 💕

There really is no “best” exercise, but this is one I do a lot!
It’s versatile and is definitely a prerequisite for any runner.
Here are some ideas on how to modify it!

@feetures socks still the 🐐
@districtvision shirt is cool
@tenthousand.cc shorts for my non running stuff
