MOTIVATE Physical Therapy

"My husband and I cannot say enough about Christine Stathes at Motivate Physical Therapy in Cornwall-on-Hudson! Our twelve year old is a very competitive hockey player who is on the ice five to six days a week. After a flawed diagnosis, she was finally diagnosed with patellar instability. Due to lost time, we knew it was essential for her to see an experienced and committed therapist who would provide her with the necessary therapy and guidance to get her knee in shape for her level of physical activity. Our daughter connected with Christine immediately! In addition to her expertise and professionalism, she engaged with her about her different sport and personal interests. Within a six weeks, our daughter exhibited significant improvement in knee strength and stability. Her therapy also improved her posture. While our daughter no longer requires in-person physical therapy, we would not hesitate to have her resume therapy sessions with Christine."

"The staff is very professional, understanding and patient. The PT was developed for my needs. I was listened to, my questions were answered and the best part was the PT helped me to heal. With guidance I have been able to continue doing my everyday activities and haven’t gone back to my orthopedic doctor. Thank you Christine!"

"Christine is a phenomenal therapist! From my son’s first session she made us feel like family. She has extensive knowledge in her field of orthopedic sports medicine and functional movement. Christin has a kind and caring heart, with a very warm and friendly demeanor and she continuously goes above and beyond for her patients care. My son had an elbow surgery that has kept him away from his favorite sport of baseball and I was extremely worried about finding someone who would help him get back to his full pitching ability, but after working with Christine for his therapy, I have no doubt he will be a much stronger athlete both physically and mentally. The tools & understanding of his body and the mechanics of how everything ties in together that he has learned from Christine are something he will use for the rest of his sports career in school and beyond. You can see the passion and love she has for what she does in the care she gives to each of her patients. And it gets even better that she surrounds herself with a team of amazing therapists that share her love of helping others. The front office staff is wonderful too, they are always helpful from working with you on insurance issues and questions, to finding convenient times to fit into your schedule for appointments. I am truly grateful to have found Christine and the MOTIVATE Team… I would highly recommend them if you are looking for the absolute best!!"

"For years I have had various hip, neck, back, and shoulder issues. I was constantly doing exercises that I thought would help that were actually hurting! Going to Motivate over a period of a few weeks has changed my life! Christine is focused, attentive, and knows her stuff. After being trained to perform a specific, easy to manage, empowering exercise regimen, I feel great! I also worked with Seema who was wonderful. Elena, the receptionist, made the insurance and co-pay process seamless. I highly recommend Motivate!"

"I’m extremely happy I found Motivate. Christine was amazing. I have had shoulder issues for years and went to another PT place. The other place had someone helping me who was also helping 2 other people at the same time giving each person a few minutes before rotating. I felt I was by myself almost the entire time. With motivate this wasn’t the case at all. Christine worked with me the entire time while I was there for each session. She explained things very well and watched me doing the exercises to ensure they were done correctly. Well after a month my shoulder impingements were significantly better and I am now able to do certain motions that hurt in the past pain free. I now understand what I was doing wrong and what I have to do to continue progress. This significantly helped me. Thank you Christine!!"
