I've had an excellent experience at AJ Physical Therapy. I came in after knee surgery feeling uncertain about my recovery, and the entire team made a huge difference from day one. They are incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in your progress. My PT (Barak) created a thoughtful, personalized plan and consistently adjusted it based on how I was doing. I have also worked with Salley several times, and she is super knowledgeable and experienced. They know exactly when to push you and when to hold back, which gave me a lot of confidence throughout the process. The clinic is also very well equipped, which makes each session effective and efficient. Beyond that, everyone there is friendly, professional, and supportive--you really feel taken care of. I'm stronger, more mobile, and much more confident than I expected to be at this stage (on the path to going back to running and regular strength training). I highly recommend AJ Physical Therapy to anyone needing high-quality care. read more

I started PT at SCOI & didn't take to how large & impersonal it was. Switched over to AJ per my friend's rec & have been so happy! From the front desk to every technician they are knowledgable, professional & friendly. And most importantly are helping me heal from a full knee replacement. I refer to Barak as Coldplay because he "Fixed Me". I would say with confidence, don't go anywhere else! read more

I truly appreciate your commitment and contribution to making my body physically better. Your care and dedication towards me did not go unnoticed. Thank you Barrack for your assistance. You have manage to assemble both on the floor and the front desk a magnificent group of technicians that are talented, profesional and personable. THANK YOU! I'm for ever in debt to you. read more

I've been going to AJ Physical Therapy since late August after having surgery on my hip. I've been pretty happy with my results, as has my surgeon. My surgeon even said at one point that we were 'ahead of the curve' recovery-wise, although he wasn't super happy that I was doing unsupported standing/weight-bearing on the operated side within the first few days after surgery (which he said was listed in the referral's recovery plan outline. I had my initial evaluation with Barak, who was very friendly and knowledgeable. After that first session, however, I was assigned to work with Mike. Mike is also very good at what he does, although I had one frustrating incident in which I was being asked to balance on my affected side which I was finding almost impossible as I had hurt my large toe on that foot (bruised the bone or hairline fracture that took a couple of months to recover), even though I had expressed this. After that session we worked on different exercises. The layout is essentially one big open room with some massage-esque tables in the back and all the equipment spread throughout the main room. Some of the equipment/gear is a little old, as an example the ankle-weights I work with frequently have velcro that seems to be hanging on by a thread, though the things have never fallen off of me. There are some offices in the back for other kinds of work (I've not been back there except for the restroom). The staff always greets me with a smile and within a minute of my walking in I'm offered a heating pad to warm up the affected area. They have music on the speakers that's usually pretty good (sometimes 'skips' despite not being a CD player) and a weekly poll on the white board that they invite clients to participate in ("hot cocoa or egg nog" as an example). I enjoy coming here for my workouts, although sometimes the therapists are balancing two people at a time so once they confirm you're doing the correct form, they can pop off to work with another person for a moment. I haven't felt neglected, tho, as the others who are working at the time check in on how I'm doing as I go. They also speak a couple of languages, too, which is great. I think Hebrew (?) and Spanish, but I'm not 100% sure on the latter. The atmosphere is nice, as well, and both staff and clients chat about whatever, generally. One thing I would improve is being more diligent about the 'no phone calls inside' policy, as a lot of the clientele skew older and they tend to chat loudly on their phones or put it onto speaker to hear it better (?). And on occasion just watching videos with the volume on, which can be distracting in the open-floor plan of the place. I will say, they can be heard from their office space which opens to the main floor, and I heard a woman (sally?) commenting the news with statements of how 'of course those people don't speak English' and 'all that misappropriated money Elon found' which worries me regarding media-literacy there, since I heard someone agree with that easily disproven statement (when looking up 'doge actual findings') but I acknowledge that that has nothing to do with physical therapy. Overall a great place to get physical therapy. read more

I went here after having a total hip replacement surgery. Mike was amazing ! I went in 3 months ago limping, came out being able to do all the activities I used to do before the surgery. All team members are knowledgeable and caring. Scheduling was easy and flexible. Highly recommend this place ! read more

After my accident and hip replacement, my physical therapy at home referred me to AJPT for further treatment, and I couldn't be happier. I'm so grateful to my home service provider for recommending this amazing place. Everyone working here is incredibly nice, professional, and welcoming. Before the New Year, I worked with Mike, who was so helpful, and today, when I returned for treatment, I had a new Mike assisting me. He was equally professional and attentive. Joel is also wonderful. I highly recommend AJPT read more

I'm so glad to have found AJPT. They're doing a great job putting me back together. Barack and his staff are not only excellent physical therapists; they are friendly, kind, and understanding when it comes to my often hectic schedule. I can't recommend them enough. read more

I worked at AJPT with Sally for several months following an ankle injury and can't recommend the team enough. Everyone was so kind, helpful, and patient with me during my sessions and I was given exercises to continue my progress at home. Hoping I don't need physical therapy again any time soon, but if I do, I know where I'll go. read more

I have been a client at AJ for nine months, attending four times per week, following a car accident. I cannot speak highly enough of their level of professionalism and knowledge. The entire staff embraced me in my time of need, sharing their kindness, patience and humor every day. They raised my spirits and saved my life. You won't find better care anywhere. read more

Came here for recovery after breaking a bone in my foot. I left stronger than ever, and had the pleasure of working with this team of friendly, patient, and informative physical therapists. The front office staff is wonderful too. Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Wonderful experience here. Received great care here after right shoulder replacement and returned for some more therapy before scheduled left shoulder replacement. Warm and friendly staff but most importantly, provided great care. Could not recommend this business more! read more

I was referred to AJ Physical Therapy by my orthopedist after I had experienced a miserable four months with an injured knee. In hindsight , I was very lucky because, by chance , I was assigned Reese. I have quite a bit to to say about Reese. First of all, I was struck by his professionalism. He greeted me with such kindness. This whole experience has been very embarrassing. I know I'm not alone in feeling this way. Injuries are terrible and physical therapy is not always pleasant. Reese meets patients at their most vulnerable time, after surgeries or injuries. Throughout my treatment he treated me with the utmost respect, I have a feeling he picked up on my unease. It is for this reason that I am taking the time to write this review. I know there are many out there who feel the same and would benefit greatly in their recovery by having someone like Reese as their PT. Most physical therapists are skilled in their craft, but it is a very special individual who has mastered the interpersonal side. Reese is that person, he is just the right mix of professionalism skill and humor, yep he is funny too! For most, all of the above would be more than enough, but there is more. Reese is exceptionally dedicated. I notice a lot as I go through life, I pay attention. And what I noticed about Reese is that he doesn't just go through the motions. He really cares. I am admittedly ridiculously uncoordinated and therefore a bit of a challenge. Most physical therapists would be content to finish their part and then let the assistants conduct the exercise portion. Not Reese, often he would keep a close eye and he would stop his paperwork or whatever he was doing to make sure that I was doing the exercises properly. These days it is so difficult to find anyone in any capacity who goes above and beyond, but Reese is THAT guy. I really could go on and on, like his willingness to try to help me with a paperwork issue, or squeezing me in even though I wasn't on the schedule but by now I think it is clear that if by some misfortune you wind up finding the need to have physical therapy don't consider going anywhere else, and, by all means ask for Reese. I don't want to leave out the rest of the staff, because they are all great. In particular, Leah seems to handle everything with simple, quiet efficiency. I highly recommend AJ PT Solely based on my experience with Reese, he is the best! On the Covid front, I inquired and was told that all staff has been vaccinated. In addition, all equipment is wiped and sanitize after every patient. read more

I was referred to AJ Physical Therapy because "they specialized in orthopedic physical therapy". After 3 previous rehabs over two years, (which helped me tremendously), I was finally diagnosed and was looking forward to getting specific help to finally heal my injury. I wish the therapist would have just told me they were unsure how to proceed with my treatment. Instead, they just started me on certain exercises. I was surprised when part of their patient agreement was that they charge an (opt in/out) $25 per visit, (in addition to co-pays and insurance payments), in case you needed supplies or accepted the ice/heat automatically offered upon arrival and at the end of each session. In my previous rehabs, any needed heat, ice, tens machine, pressure boots or any other possible rehab equipment/tool was part of rehab. I "opted out" of the additional $225 per month for ice and heat. Unfortunately, soon after "opting out", the personal attention disappeared and I re-injured myself during one of the exercises they had me doing. The most disappointing part in my opinion was that the therapists seemed unsure of themselves.... maybe even insecure. I had an injury that they were not sure how to handle and when I re-injured myself, my therapist suggested that perhaps I wasn't improving well enough. It was suggested that she print the exercises out and I should just do the exercises at home. (I never received the promised printouts) nor was there any follow up. I am now starting with another facility. Please do your research before you try this location. read more

Great place for PT. Mike is my PT. I had a knee replacement 2 months ago. For me it has been a very painful recovery. Mike has spent a lot of time with me , getting my range of motion back and building back lost muscle. It's not easy but I'm getting significantly better and I give Mike all the credit. He spends a lot of time with all of his patients and is very compassionate. Everyone who works there is extremely nice and helpful. I've met one other PT who is also very nice and great with his patients. I highly recommend AJ PT. read more

This place and the staff are amazing! I cannot say enough great things. I've been to a few other places, but no one has really taken the time of cared enough to actually help me. If you need physical therapy, this is the place you want to go. You will get results and they actually care about your wellbeing. Thank you AJ's and the entire staff. Love you guys. read more

My girlfriend was in a bad motorcycle accident and for over a year we wasted a lot of time and money seeking help from more than half a dozen different physical therapy clinics to no avail. They were all either incompetent to treat her trauma from leg/knee surgery, or did very basic therapy that did not help her progress. It was a massive opportunity cost and we regret not visiting AJ Physical Therapy sooner. My experience with the staff has been very professional and welcoming, but my main reason for writing this review is out of appreciation for Barak. He is the ONLY physical therapist who examined her x-rays, asked pertinent questions, and confidently performed actual physical therapy in addition to providing useful recommendations (stretches, devices, etc.) all without sugar-coating the time/work required for her to properly heal. We are very grateful, and I can see why they have a 5-star rating. Thanks! read more

This is an exceptional place to go for physical therapy. I went in due to a fractured patella, and through the expertise and guidance of Barack and his staff, I was able to build back the strength in my knee. So appreciate this valuable resource. I highly recommend! read more

My experience with AJ PT in the Calabasas office was first-rate. Reese and Ken (and Ofek earlier) guided me through recovery from an elbow injury. They were all very professional and knowledgeable. If the need arises in the future, I will definitely be returning. Thanks, guys! read more

I came here feeling hopeless after having an injured back for 3 months. Over the course of a month an a half, Barak and his team have strengthened me too feel better than I have in a long time. The place is clean, well organized, and the staff is kind. I wouldn't recommend another place and I have been to 3 prior to this. read more

I like AJ PT , very friendly and knowledgeable staff . And my spiritual appreciation to Yelena, my therapist! She is very professional, knowledgeable,friendly and nice lady! I feel much better ! I really recommend this office in Encino! Thank you very much for help! read more

Finally decided to take care of my bum knee after years of neglecting it. Super easy to make an appointment, and everyone there is very nice. My physical therapist set me up with a few exercises I can do at home and encouraged me to get a band. This place is clean and has updated equipment. read more

My therapist, Barak is extremely knowledgeable, honest, straightforward, easy-going and an overall nice guy to be around. He knows his stuff. The facility is well run, organized, and has easy parking. I would definitely recommend AJ Physical Therapy to any friend in recovery from an injury or surgery. I am a fitness trainer, myself so I would not trust anyone who didn't really know what they were doing, and Barak most certainly does! :-) read more

I contacted AJ Physical Therapy for help with some terrible lower back pain, and my experience was wonderful from beginning to end. The receptionist was so helpful in following up with me about my health insurance questions before scheduling an appointment, and after working with Reese and Colleen for a few weeks I feel so much better, and well equipped to continue on with exercises on my own to prevent my pain from flaring up again. I felt well cared for here, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

I would highly recommend AJ Physical Therapy to anyone! I was fortunate to with Barak and can't speak highly enough about him and the whole staff....Reese, Colleen and Sally they are all great! Everyone there is so professional and supportive and kind. I went due to a broken patella and worked my way back to being able to do what I could before the accident. I'm very grateful that my doctor recommended me to go there! read more

Barack leads a great welcoming, friendly, experienced, thoughtful staff. I came after my left knee replacement.

Highly recommend Barak and his entire staff. Had an emergency pulled muscle and they fit me right in and got me situated with high tech and low tech therapy. They told me a clear plan of action and made it simple! So glad I landed at AJ Physical Therapy. read more

I've taken my mother to other physical therapist and I must say she truly loved coming to AJ physical Therapy. She was seen by Janet and she was amazing! Janet helped her a lot with her neck and arm pain. Janet was very nice and really cares for her patients. She is always in a helpful and in a good attitude. My mother was having a hard time moving her neck and with the help of Janet she now is able to move it. We would 100% recommend AJ Physical Therapy. read more

Just completed six months of post-surgery PT on my shoulder with Colleen. I've had good PT over the years, and Colleen was simply as good as anyone I've ever experienced. She is personable, caring, and a first-rate therapist. The facilities are top-notch as well. Although I hope I never need PT ever again, I would not hesitate to go back AJ Physical Therapy. read more

I love coming to Aj's Physical Therapy, The people there are always nice, everything is done in a timely manner, and after SO much pain from dislocating my shoulder, AJ rehabilitated me until i was able to bring my arm to full swing again. I highly recommend coming to AJ and his wonderful team. read more

Very professional and educated doctor Matthew is a great guy and very caring for his patient read more

I can see the reason why AJ Physical Therapy, INC receives 5-star ratings, and I concur. From the first day, I entered AJ everyone was nice and kind. From the receptionist who was very kind to everyone involved in my therapy. Especially Matthew, he was exceptionally gentle, strong, and smooth in manipulating my injured hip. I had total trust in him which allowed me to be very relaxed and let him do his thing. I highly recommend AJ Physical Therapy, INC. read more

For six months, I had persistent, debilitating back pain and back spasms that radiated from my mid back all the way to my abs. Everything hurt--picking up my daughter, getting down on one knee, sitting, standing, shifting, driving, walking...pretty much any word that ends with "ing." In order to fix it, I tried everything. I saw my internist twice. I got an MRI. Xrays. I was prescribed muscle relaxers and pain killers. No improvement. I did 4 months of physical therapy at a different place. No improvement. I saw two orthopedic surgeons. One gave me steroids. A little improvement. Finally, one sent me to Barak. Barak is a goddamn wizard, and I will tolerate no argument on this. I don't mean that as a metaphor. I truly believe he is a full-fledged, spell-casting wizard. In my initial appointment, he accurately determined the source of the pain when none of the other doctors or therapists could. In two weeks it was dramatically improved. In one month, I was pain free. The difference between a good PT and a bad one is months of pain and potentially hundreds of wasted dollars and pointless appointments. Don't risk it. Get your ass to AJ PT and request Barak. read more

I have been working with sally for over 30 years, this is the only place I will do my physical therapy. I drive 36 miles round trip just to get my physical therapy done there. The whole team is great so nice and they know what it takes to get you better. So if you want to recover from your injury and want to heal right you must go to A.J. Physical Therapy. Just remember "No Pain No Gain" read more

After being a patient at AJ Physical Therapy for the last 10 years, having many varied issues (knee replacement twice, back issues, neck issues and others I cannot remember), I cannot say strongly enough - THEY ARE THE BEST THERE IS. Not only are Barak, Sally and Reece top notch therapists, but LB and the crew of assistants are professional quality. The attitude and attention that is given there is unmatched in the many other PT offices I have been a patient of. Everyone is met with with the same warmth and expertise and attention to detail and working with each individual. To sum up, I am always looking for a reason to go back. That says something! read more

AJ Physical Therapy is the very best! One month after total knee replacement surgery and only 5 visits and I am doing amazingly well. Matt is my PT and he is so knowledgeable and knows just how hard to push me. Matt is patient and listens to my concerns and explains why I need to do every exercise. Everyone at AJ PT is professional and caring. The facility is immaculate and I never have to wait to be seen. Barak is always encouraging and keeps up on my progress even though I am not his patient. I am so very thankful that I was referred to AJPT. I have been to other PT facilities and by far AJPT is the best, hands down. I can't say enough good things about AJPT. I owe all my success to Matt and the techs. I will refer everyone who needs PT to them. read more

I've done a lot of PT over the years. AJ is a great combination of a relaxed atmosphere, knowledgeable and attentive therapists and up-to-date equipment. Tucked away in a strip mall with plenty of parking. read more

AJ and his team are absolute Rock stars. They know their job. They are loved by their patients. Easy with the scheduling. Free parking around. A must visit should you need any physical therapy. read more

I have been attending appointments at this facility for about 2 weeks now. The atmosphere is very welcoming. The staff are all very knowledgable. I have been noticing a difference in my knee ( which is why I go) and that makes me very happy. I was even 10mins late to my morning appointment and Sally still greeted me with a smile and ended up completing longer than my full hour of therapy, which surpasses my expectation. I can't say enough good things about this facility read more

For all I know this is a great place to get physical therapy. But since they don't take an "Exchange Plan" even though its Blue Shield Silver PPO we'll never know. Give me a break. Oh, and don't give me the excuse that "it's not our fault, it's the insurance company" - AJ takes all Blue Shield plans except those purchased on the Exchange? That's AJ's choice not Blue Shield's read more
