MOTI Physiotherapy

What MOTI Physiotherapy does

MOTI Physiotherapy, Inc. is a family-owned, private physical therapy practice operating four boutique clinic locations in Los Angeles (Los Feliz, Highland Park, Playa Vista, and Mid-Wilshire), each roughly 6,000-7,000 square feet. Founded by Dr. Nick Cutri, a University of Southern California Doctor of Physical Therapy graduate, the practice delivers orthopedic physical therapy, sports rehabilitation, dance medicine, women's health and pelvic floor therapy, post-mastectomy rehabilitation, prenatal and postpartum care, Pilates-based therapy, and personal training.

The clinical approach is built around the Applied Functional Science (AFS) methodology developed by the Gray Institute, supported by the proprietary Sugarfoot Therapy conditioning program for dancers. Service delivery spans in-clinic visits, HIPAA-compliant telehealth e-visits via Zoom, and concierge on-location services for high-profile entertainment and sports clients. Customer segments range from individual insurance and self-pay patients across roughly 15 personas (active adults, dancers, sport-specific athletes, seniors, prenatal and postpartum women, pelvic health and post-mastectomy patients) to enterprise clients such as X Games, LA Opera, Dancing with the Stars, Wicked, Hamilton, and Demi Lovato's World Tour.

MOTI is in-network with Anthem, Blue Shield of California, Aetna, HealthNet, Tricare West, TriWest, and Medicare, and supplements insurance revenue with self-pay clinic rates, premium one-on-one DPT sessions, specialized a la carte treatments, concierge fees, and two online subscription brands (Sugarfoot Therapy and Mom Growing Strong). The company functions as a teaching institution with clinical instruction partnerships with six DPT programs including USC and Northwestern, and operates without disclosed external venture or private equity backing.
