I am so convinced of this that I am disposing of every garment that has become too big for me. I am never going to need those "fat pants" again.

The end result is the same: a lighter body, easier movement, healthier cholesterol and blood pressure numbers, loose clothing, other ailments disappearing (tendonitis, arthritis, post-nasal drip, heart burn, hot flashes), and the personal pride of achieving goals, all through the science of cellular hydration.

She looks over my food charts weekly and is available daily for food support and recipes and suggestions for clean power foods and supplements etc that I would not have tried otherwise. I have worked with nutritionists in the past who do the basic weekly food checks with me but Emily has a very revolutionized method that incorporates ALL aspects of good health, wellbeing, mindfulness, movement, focused exercise and nutrition all together. She provides a complete package that includes all the nutrition and food support anyone would need with expert suggestions and insights. PLUS she encourages and takes our twice-weekly meetings out into nature for power walks, mindful meditation, pilates, stretching, beach walks etc so that the coaching and food work follows me everywhere in my daily life in a truly positive and all encompassing way. It is a miraculous way to break one out of a negative mind set and turn around a life that was going the wrong way for many years. I am truly amazed at all the accomplishments so far and look forward to many more to come. Emily is also a trained pilates instructor and introduced me to trying pilates for my first time on a reformer machine which is an amazing and awesome experience I now do weekly. In the past I have only done pilates mat classes and felt intimidated to try a reformer machine because I wasn't confident in my ability to keep up with classmates and use the machine correctly and I hate not doing well at things. Emily has such a glowing and supportive spirit that it wasn't hard to agree to try this workout with her. The one on one work reformer work I have done so far is super helpful and not at all stressful since she tailors each session to my needs and current ability. I have experienced nothing but great results through her expert instruction, dynamic personality, and desire to help me in every area of my life that needed healing. I wish I could give her 20 stars! I cannot recommend her highly enough!

This is a 5-star review (but I want to give 10 stars) of Dr. Brooke Phillips at Hayashida Physical…read moreTherapy in Goleta, CA. If you know anything at all about myofascial pain syndrome, or MPS, it's this: if you suffer from it, you just want it gone. (I had endured it in my neck for over two decades.) Maybe you've tried physical therapy already with little to no results. Or you've been attempting self-manipulation techniques such as a Theracane or a foam roller. I now use these tools for maintenance in addition to physical therapy because no one technique could achieve what Dr. Brook Phillips has done for me in a relatively short period of time. In January 2025, Dr. Amit Nathani performed a reverse total shoulder replacement and bicep tenodesis on my right side. Both of these procedures were highly successful, way beyond my expectations. However, taking into consideration my age of 67, and this not being my first joint replacement, coupled with Rheumatoid Arthritis and a lifetime of bad posture, the recovery from this has been absolute hell. I'm now at 10 months post-surgery. I fully intend to reach '100%' again, but I can't say when. I still have some weakness. Recently, I pushed it too far and had to stop everything completely, but the therapeutic devices. Dr. Brook anticipated my needs and pain relief goals not only in the hands-on therapy but for post-therapy management as well. I'm positive that without his excellent care, I would not have progressed this far so successfully. When I say "so successfully", I mean with so much reduction in the pain department. It literally improves every couple of days and rarely regresses. When I say "progressed this far," let me tell you what that really means: I now have perfectly relaxed shoulders, my back is straight, my hips are tucked in, and I walk with a normal gait. Before this, if you take every physical aspect I just mentioned and imagine it at its worst, that is what I had. And along with all those conditions came a lot of pain. But as Dr. Brook addressed my physical limitations and, one by one, removed them, I was able to restructure how I carry myself. And along with the lower back pain that was always in the background, and the painful left knee scraping that required injections, the punishing MPS- all of these painful limitations are gone now. And it started really with the therapy for the shoulder recovery, but he just naturally moved into addressing anything else that was causing me pain. You wouldn't believe how back pain affects other parts of your body! I am immensely grateful for Dr. Brook. You must believe me when I say I know physical therapy: I was in a devastating car wreck 40 years ago, and I've had a lot of PT since then. Recently, I asked him, "Are foam rollers new? Because with all my issues, why did no therapist ever suggest using one? It has helped me tremendously." He said, "No, they aren't new." Then he confessed that every therapist has a different technique... But I know what is really going on here. It's the DPT and OCS after his name that give Dr. Brook distinction and are the reason for my success. I went in for a bit of therapy after surgery, and ended up addressing nearly every other issue that was currently giving me pain. Being able to manage the pain with tools that I now have at my disposal is something huge for me. Thank you, Dr. Brook

This review pertains to the practice, not the therapist. My physical therapist is wonderful, but if…read moreI need PT in the future I will go elsewhere. The issue is administrative - Sutter dictates that you can only make two appointments in a row instead of scheduling further out. The problem is that very often there is no availability. My therapist has instructed me to return weekly, but, for me, half the time the appointments end up being every two weeks. That has made it more difficult for me to meet my treatment goals - the therapist says we will add something new next week, but it ends up being two weeks later. That not only means that it takes much longer to complete your treatment, but the long gaps can lead to a less successful result. Update: I found this note in my Sutter chart: This patient got all rude as soon as she couldn't get an appt when SHE wanted. She is non post op and doesn't understand why Sutter Health has a policy of only 2 appts at a time when SHE needs to get in. She said she wrote a bad review about our practice and will continue to talk bad about our practice, but not the therapists. She is very unhappy and says she will probably look elsewhere. It is not like it was a matter of my convenience and I insisted on mornings when they offered afternoons or I wanted a Monday and they offered a Tuesday. I was trying to comply with my therapist's instructions to return weekly - it had nothing to do with what "I" wanted - but it is true, I don't understand why they only make two appointments ahead. I have had lots of PT over the years and they have always scheduled multiple appointments at the start of treatment and sometimes even all of the appointments for the duration of the treatment plan. In addition, I absolutely did not say that I talked "bad" about the practice. What I said is that I could not recommend it to others because of the way they schedule appointments. I stand by that opinion, and I should I need PT in the future I will absolutely seek care elsewhere.

I had done over a year of physical therapy which resulted in temporary relief. I heard about Rita and her work and figured I had nothing to lose and a lot to gain. She fit me in the same day and did an evaluation. She showed me pictures of my back and spine alignment and explained why my range of motion in my shoulder was limited. (It had been diagnosed as a frozen shoulder.) My alignment was clearly off and impacting my limbs. I did 8 sessions over a 4-6 week period. We worked with yoga straps and blocks and the ball and I learned exercises to help improve my posture. I feel better as a result than I've felt in 18 months and have a new awareness how my alignment affects the rest of my body. Not only do you receive physical training, Rita is positive and uplifting and I received mental health benefits from working with her as well.

Body by Emilee: I'd never done Pilates (or really any…read moreorganized exercise) until I started with Emilee 5 years ago. Since then I have had classes with other instructors, but I haven't liked any of them quite as much as I like working with Emilee. She is a great trainer, watching every move, changing exercises to suit your needs and moods. Some days she pushes you hard enough to be sore the next day, others are more focused on working the really deep core. You never get too much into a routine--always pushing different muscles in different ways. I discovered just how effective Emilee was at crafting bodies when I found myself in a contest at a pub--who could hold the stein of beer at arms length the longest. I assumed I would be hopeless. I was as surprised as any when I outlasted all these big muscular dudes! I'd built core and back muscles to balance and support my arms. Huh! I also gained half an inch after doing Pilates for a few years--I stand straight, which I had never done previously. Thank you Emilee. Emilee is wonderful fun, with an infectious personality. She makes workouts fun and I love Pilates, but I would not have become a devotee without Emilee as a trainer.
