INTRODUCING

Your Guide For Strength & Conditioning

Dr. Drew Morcos earned a B.S. in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Athletic Training from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Hi there,

I’m Drew Morcos, founder of MOTUS Specialists Physical Therapy in Orange County, California and Physical Therapist for the Los Angeles Lakers.

After working with top athletes over the past 20 years, I’ve noticed something: those who have a solid understanding of the science of exercise biomechanics are more likely to stay healthy, consistently achieve their goals, and enjoy their sport more.

I originally developed the MOTUS Strength and Conditioning course to help sports medicine professionals get better results with their clients. But why not put this critical knowledge in the hands of athletes themselves? This pro course will guide you through everything you need to know to enhance your workouts and train yourself – smarter, safer, and more effectively.

Recognizing that their area of expertise is separate and distinct, CSCSs consult with and refer athletes to other professionals when appropriate.”
