Joey Salgado and Josh Moreali are the owners of Progressive Motion Physiotherapy, a progressive health and wellness physiotherapy clinic that focuses on the chain of mind, body and spirit to build up all individuals.

Their journey began with a lot of unanswered questions about their purpose and callings. They had a passion to serve but didn’t know how they wanted to use it. Their passion to serve led to a partnership to help people of all ages and all backgrounds.

Their mission statement, Move Better, Live Happier pushes them each and everyday to live out their purpose. In this episode, we hear how both Joey and Josh navigated the murky waters of physiotherapy and how they wanted to be different, by treating different. We touch on the stigma that traditional PT brings and how Progressive Motion sets out to raise the bar each and everyday.

These guys have an incredible drive, high level skills, and the mentality to serve others. We’re excited to share their story and how they’ve built Progressive Motion into one of the premier physiotherapy clinics in Northern California.
