"Great therapist friendly people. My therapist Will gives me a lot of exercises to do at the gym or at home. He also makes my PT time very pleasant to be there. I highly recommend!!!"

"The very best place for physical therapy."

"Well-equipped and convenient (ample parking), I was very pleased with my treatment here. Special thanks to Will Woodward who was very knowledgeable and patient with me, not letting me cheat on any exercise ("slow down," "straighten that leg") and getting me ready for my exercise routine once back at home. I would not hesitate to return here."

"Stuff at Movement Work are very trained and skilled people, shown effectiveness, skill, organization, and seriousness of manner"

"Friendly,highly skilled physical therapy. I have made great strides toward normal function thanmks to Movement Works,"

"I have been taking PT at Movement Works for about six weeks to rehabilitate my right hip after a total replacement. First, the facility is beautiful with lots of different types of equipment. Second, all of the employees are outstanding and pleasant, both the administrative staff and the therapists. Most of my therapy has been with Betina, the owner. She is extremely knowledgeable, personalizes the exercises based on the patient’s goals, and is hands on. She revises, adds, and changes the exercises as the patient progresses. She keeps the sessions interesting and actually manages to make them fun. Her encouragement and positive attitude impact my recovery outlook. This is the first time after several surgeries that I feel physical therapy is actually helping. I keep getting better after each session, and based on the results so far, I am anticipating a full recovery from my surgery."

"I am very thankful to have found Movement Works and therapist Will Woodward to help me on my journey to feel and be strong again."

"Claire has been very attentive and knowledgeable to my concerns. I am just getting started but I do feel like she is helping me. Everyone there is very friendly and acknowledges your presence when you arrive."

"Very happy with the knowledge staff has. Clare has been great. I feel like she understands my sport and what I need to do to strengthen my body for the sport and to heal from injury."

"Just completed a 6 week course of physical therapy with Bettina at Movement Works to alleviate a history of upper back pain. To this end, I was guided by Bettina through a series of exercises to strength the muscles of my body, as she says, "from the inside out". Thanks to Bettina's excellent training, my pain is now gone. More importantly, during the course of the sessions, Bettina gave me invaluable information on how the body works, educating me on the proper movements to implement, or avoid, to assure that the same pain does not present itself again in the future. The staff at Movement Works was always friendly and supportive, and the facility space was excellent, well equipped and providing a very positive experience. Highly recommend Movement Works!"

"Darren, Mia and Ella are awesome! Darren first point of contact very friendly and helpful. Mia therapist very knowledgeable , professional and I learned alot from her. Ella very willing to help out and assist if necessary. Awesome experience!"

"I have honestly got to say that working with Dr. Ramji has been wonderful. When I needed a push to continue through pain and a plateau in my healing she was there to motivate and guide me. Her sense of humor and ability to move me through pain is also something that I feel has been very important in my therapy. She is always introducing new exercises and movements to guide me to the next phase of the healing process. Overall, I have actually immensely enjoyed my physical therapy with her and will miss her/it when I’m done. Julie Lau"

"Saw Physical Therapist, Jill, for strained bicep/rotator cuff. She is an excellent PT. Extremely knowledgeable, personable and helped me tremendously. This is a very welcoming environment, including assistants to Jill and the front office staff. I could not be more satisfied with the PT I received from Jill, how kind everyone is and the whole environmental setting. The entire experience was so pleasant. Thank you."

"I had a shoulder replacement and after several therapy visits, I am almost as good as new."

"Great staff, very attentive. Good focus on how to speed recovery along to regain full use of compromised limbs. Highly recommended!"

"I googled a Physical Therapy near me, and Movement Works popped up. I was not expecting much. Ramji Pasricha was assigned to me. She started to work with me. I had her undivided attention, which was surprising to me. I was not expecting any improvement, so I just went through the motions with her. My Gosh, after one month, I could walk without a cane. I would walk two days without it and one day with it as the pain would come back. She showed me stretches and exercises that I thought would not work. She made a believer out of me. She asked me what I would like to get out of this therapy. I told her I wanted to be able to put my pants and underwear on one leg at a time without any pain, like everyone else and did not want to do this sitting down. She taught me how to do that by firming up my stomach. I continued with her for another month and departed on a two-week European vacation. Not once during the vacation did I use the cane. Not once. I owe her great gratitude and am forever thankful to her. I strongly recommend Ramji for your PT. She truly is a miracle worker. MOK"

"Dr. Ramji has been extremely helpful to my recovery. She has a great outlook and wonderful demeanor and put together a program to quickly address my issue. The entire staff has been very friendly and I would highly recommend Movement Works for any PT needs."

"Movement Works Physical Therapy is the best. Great facilities in a beautiful area of Long Beach. My therapist, Heather, is excellent. I couldn't have asked for or imagined better treatment, both physically and personally from her and the staff."

"Highly recommend doing your PT here with Dr. Ramji Pasricha! From the start, Ramji provided me with an individualized plan that took into consideration my other life activities (e.g., my job requirements, the sports I play, etc.). She has given me a variety of exercises, with a focus on encouraging me to develop practices and patterns that I will carry with me after PT for long-term health. And, probably most importantly, she has worked with me on understanding and being more aware of my body. Ramji doesn’t just give you exercises to work on strength and control—she also teaches you so much."

"Ramji Pasricha is a most knowledgeable, caring and attentive physical therapist. The staff at Movement Works are knowledgeable, attentive and provide a high level of patient care. I can recommend Movement Works and Ramji Pasricha without qualification."

"From starting my physical therapy journey at Movement Works a couple months ago, working with Dr. Ramji Pasricha has been amazing. Her knowledge and professionalism moving through each exercise and educating me in the process has made me feel more confident in my recovery. Her encouragement during my physical therapy visits motivates me to continue my strength training outside of the office. For anyone looking for a Physical Therapist I'd 100% recommended Ramji!"

"Very professional staff but also caring and friendly. Ramji, my PT is fantastic. Really thinks about what she is prescribing and explains exactly what to do and why. Solid 5 stars."

"Ramji Pasricha is a great physical therapist who helped me regain my range of motion after my knee injury and she has continued to help me in my recovery post-surgery. She is very understanding, cares a lot about her patients, and she addresses her patients’ questions and concerns with compassion throughout their recovery. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a physical therapist."

"Movement Works Physical Therapy assisted me last year and when I needed help this year I did not hesitate to return. I have worked with two different PTs and their colleagues and have always received outstanding care and training. It's a five-star establishment."

"Have been using Movement works for two post ops on a knee replacement and knee scope, past 10 and 1 year respectively. Now I am back for tendon and ankle pt to avoid surgery for a bit…won’t go anywhere else! Professional, courteous and they know what they are doing!"

"I have been a few times now and am very pleased. Front office staff is remarkably efficient and helpful. I have been working with Ramji and she is great - informative and patient. She has time for my questions and answers them all. She has a good knowledge base of her discipline. Convenience of location is nice because I live close by and bicycle there. Will recommend to anyone needing physical therapy."

"I have multiple body ailments and have been going to Movement Works for years. Love everyone there and the management is awesome. Highly recommend this place to all."

"Betina is top notch! I have been to PT many, many times over the years. At Movement Works they really listen, push you, challenge your thinking, and help you not only rehab your injury, but retrain the way you move to avoid injury in the future. Couldn't be happier with the patient care here!"

"This is my third time at Movement Works, for different body parts. They're very knowledgeable and efficient as well as just being darn nice people. I'd had an experience at another PT center where they basically gave up on me rather than try different modalities to address my issues. MWPT doesn't give up until they find what works for the individual. I'm very fortunate to be able to go to Movement Works!"

"I received the best care and my back pain was fixed."

"First class professional therapy"

"Nice place, great staff - have used their services on and off for years -"

"After hip replacement surgery my neighbor recommended Movement Works and now I would recommend them to anyone on the mend, Jill, my PT was very knowledgeable and helpful. The facility was spotlessly clean and all the staff were very knowledgeable and personable."

"This is my second experience with Movement Works. The first was a few years ago when Bettina, one of the physical therapists, assisted me with my shoulder, with a torn rotator cuff, as well as other torn tendons and muscles. Surgery was averted and I have a full range of movement with my right arm Now I am once again working with Bettina, with a new focus on my left hip which has bursitis and is presenting difficulty with walking and range of motion . The facility is clean, well organized, with multiple therapists working simultaneously. Bettina has always been on time with our scheduled appointments. Free and plentiful parking in the Marketplace. A great spot for your therapy."

"Physical therapy isn’t always fun but it is necessary to improve one’s help. Thank you to Heather for working with me in a professional, yet caring, way."

"Close to home, in Long Beach, Friendly and knowledgeable staff,"
