More importantly the PT's are knowledgeable and dynamic with the therapy plans they recommend. My case is rather complex and challenging but I know I'm in great hands at Evolution. Highly recommend seeing Jenna Marshall if you can. read more

The care I've received at Evolution is by far the best PT experience I've had in my long life. I was searching for a therapist that would not only help me heal but finally teach me how not to injure myself as I get active again. Katie has been treating and training me for eight months. She is knowledgeable, insightful, creative with her solutions, and patient. The facility is welcoming and has a vibe of community not clinic. The scheduling and billing staff are also excellent - efficient and accurate. I especially appreciate that they have Pilates equipment and other state of the art tools on site. read more

Dr. Sico is knowledgable about my particular case and is easy to communicate with. Dr. Sico takes special care for overseeing my therapy while at the same time developing another PT, so I was getting twice the attention!

I will recommend this business. read more

Need a chiropractor? Like, desperately? Dr. Dave (David Birznieks) is a WIZARD. He's that rare Dr you find that early in, you know just knows his stuff.. 4 days ago, my lower back went out. The bad kind that kept getting progressively worse. I couldn't stand up straight or walk without being slumped over, with an annoying constant dull aching pain. A wrong move or even laughing sent electric shock waves -like that. I was MISERABLE. Today, I got a reference from a friend to see Dr. Dave @ The Wellness Bank up the street. 1st, this guy really cares -a warm people-person (Imagine how much better a any #1 robot doctor wld be if he/she was also kind.). Next, he's an athlete himself and works on the pros, meaning, he sees some of the most extreme cases. It feels like he treats it like a puzzle he's excited to reassemble. He saw me same day (I don't know if I got lucky or if that is why you want a "caring" Dr.). He took the time; asked good questions, examined me, stretched, rubbed, contorted, pulled, stepped back to think, cracked left, then right, thought some more, measured my leg lengths, explained stuff as he went (not annoyingly), etc... and he did so all while listening to REO Speedwagon :) After about an hour, I actually stood up straight and walked outta there, dull pain gone...Incredible. Yes, I was given homework & warned to take it easy, to not go bull riding (his words) and to report back tmrw and we'd take it from there.. Awesome. UPDATE: It's the following morning and his work is holding. No sitting yet, but the fear of moving is definitely subsiding and pain still gone. Relief! Many hugs & thank you. GO SEE DR. DAVE! read more

Evolution Physical Therapy & Fitness - Physical Therapy Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Talented and caring staff! Frank Alvarado Jr., the neuromuscular massage therapist, was able to finally fix a shoulder injury I had been dealing with for a year! He took the time the explain his process and asked questions to pinpoint the problem. A few sessions with Frank did more than 6 months of physical therapy. read more

These guys are great. I worked with Denise a couple of years ago to improve my recovery from a TKR (total knee replacement). Previously, I'd gone to another PT facility - which did a good job with my initial recovery. But once I was back on my feet, I needed/wanted to achieve better joint biomechanics and more advanced functions. The Wellness Bank understood my goals, and Denise customized a program that really helped. Also - lots of good equipment at the Wellness Bank - a pilates reformer, Cadillac, and nice sunny working space. I returned a couple of weeks ago for help with a shoulder injury - Karena and Denise have helped with some soft tissue work and strengthening exercises, and stretches. Feeling much better already. read more

The Wellness Bank is the perfect environment for PT. Denise is not only extremely skilled and competent, but she is very caring as well. It's hard work and she puts me through my paces, but that's what it takes for PT to work. There is plenty of free parking in a bright and airy environment. I have, unfortunately, experienced many physical therapists over the years and can say from personal experience, Denise is in the top tier. read more

To the postpartum MOM: THIS IS AN AMAZING PLACE for you. I wish I would have come earlier to this wonderful place. I work with both Denise and Lisa to help me repair my post partum body. My souvenirs after my two lovely daughters are: diastasis recti and an umbilical hernia. At first I just accepted this as my fate... but as months went by and I was injuring my back every other week my doctor finally recommended me to Denise Cheyette. The first consult with Denise was very thorough, knowledgable and gave me a direct plan to help restore my core muscles. Now with the help of Denise to help with functional movements and Lisa to regain core strength through pilates, I feel like a changed human. I am eternally grateful to the patience and time this team have given me. I recommend this place to everyone I know!!!! read more

This review is for the chiropractor Dave. Been to many chiro's and he's among if not the best. Has worked on NFL players. He'll do massaging, stretching, explain muscle groups movements, and demonstrate exercises to help and cure pain and imbalances long term- definitely a wholistic approach with his treatment. Sessions are about 1 hour with the soft tissue work but he can just do adjustments in less time if that's all you want. I highly recommend him! read more

Denise is a fantastic PT! I found her through a friend that referred her TeleMed services during the pandemic, and it was wonderful to be able to get PT in the safety and security of my own home! The exercises she worked with me on for my particular conditions were gentle, yet effective. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any friend, family member, or neighbor and assure them that they are in the best care possible with her! read more

Karina is fantastic! I had bad lower back pain at 4 months pregnant and knew it was just going to get worse so saw Karina for about 6 weeks. Pain completely went away and I had zero back pain for the rest of my pregnancy. I'd highly recommend seeing her if you have any pregnancy back pain! read more

Amazing! A hidden gem in Manhattan Beach! Physical Therapy and Pilates studio. Behind Manhattan Bread and Bagel, the studio space has ample parking. It's large, bright and clean and my therapist Jerry helped my neck feel better immediately and gave me exercises to do while I was out of town. read more

Great place. A little hard to find at first because it is on the second floor of a bank, but once I found it, the name made sense. I am a patient of Dr. Karena Hobus who is fantastic. She is a miracle worker. She explains things well. I highly recommend her. The rest of the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The place is clean, and they have a lot of good equipment. Plenty of parking too. read more

I have enjoyed the Wellness Bank in the past for my knees, and now I'm back for a little "tune up" on my Lumbar and Cervical Spine. The clinic is very clean, well staffed and efficient for all of my needs. My therapist, Karena, never disappoints and she's a real expert in PT. I have only been in a few times now and I'm already getting some good results. Another BIG plus is that they are right next door to one of my favorite bakeries, Manhattan Bread and Bagel !!! lol read more

I was introduced to Karina at Pacific Therapy several years ago. When in need of therapy I would go to Pacific Therapy where I was assigned an available therapists. After having been assigned Karina I was no longer satisfied with anyone else and started asking for Karina by name. When PacifIc Therapy closed its doors I followed Karina to the Wellness Bank where I am currently seeing her. I have found Karina to be very knowledgeable of how to best treat my problems and achieve excellent results in a short time. Karina is also very considerate and a pleasure to work with. I enthusiastically recommend her without reservation. My husband also sees her now for back pain and core strength. Judith Russo read more

Dr. Dave Birznieks is the best! He has been my primary go to for all my physical ailments over the last 12 years (from pregnancy, TBI, neck and knee injuries). I trust him to always take the time to assess, and consider the best strategies for treatments. Dave is a Fascial Stretch Therapist (Stretch to Win) & ZHealth Neural Trainer. He is not just looking for a quick crack or adjustment. Dave also works with my daughter when she has sports injuries and made sure she felt comfortable in his care. read more

It can be a little scary to go to a new chiropractor because you just never know what philosophy he or she practices. You can definitely trust your care to Dr. Dave. I have had shoulder and lower back issues for a number of years. What I love about Dr Dave is that he gently treats the problem, getting positive results without the necessity of going back again and again and again. Dr. Dave is all about making his patients feel relief and not about racking up charges with months of therapy. He really "knows" what he is doing. In addition, he's a great guy! I strongly recommend The Wellness Bank and especially Dr. Dave. J. Stone, Esq. read more

Knowledgable staff, great individual care, all the equipment needed for a successful and varied journey to recovery and/or improvement.

I'm a volleyball player who has had multiple injuries and I've been coming here since I was 12. I have the people here to thank for keeping me healthy and able to be a committed D1 athlete. This place is amazing!! The people, the treatment, everything!! Not only is it a super friendly place filled with amazing supportive people who are genuinely interested in your recovery and your life, it is a place where recovery is fun and effective. I cannot imagine going to another place! read more

Just had hip replacement surgery and luckily found this group which had a therapist well versed in this area. Just started treatment but I feel much better knowing that Denise is so knowledgeable, even acquiring a copy of the surgery operation report as my scarring indicated a posterior approach rather than the more common minimally invasive anterior approach which changes what one can do with the hip during rehab. Looking forward to my next informative visit! read more

What a fantastic place. I had a very serious knee injury that required surgery and 12 months of rehab and I owe my recovery to the team at The Wellness Bank. Between physical therapy with Denise, chiropractic and soft tissue work with Dave and pilates sessions with their certified instructors I am in way better shape than I was before my injury. I would recommend their hands on approach and thoughtful, caring instruction to anyone. In fact, i still check in from time to time just to get a tune up for my body. read more

Evolution Physical Therapy & Fitness - Physical Therapy Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Denise helped me rehab my knee after an arthroscopic surgery and Dave worked with me on some shoulder issues I was having. I really couldn't be any happier with this office. They give personal attention to each patient, unlike some other places I have been to. The place is spacious and bright. Everyone has a great attitude. I would recommend this place to anybody. read more

I am very pleased that I selected The Wellness Bank for my physical therapy needs. I have brain cancer and recently underwent brain surgery. I need to work on my balance and strength. I have been working with both Denise and Jerry. Both are very attentive to my needs and receptive to my limits. I feel myself getting stronger and highly recommend the Wellness Bank to anyone who has PT needs. read more

Dave has kept me moving for the past few years. Dave worked with me when I dislocated my shoulder, after rotator cuff repair, and through various knee and ankle injuries. I've been working with Denise to get my ankles back into dancing shape. These two have worked well together and with me to get me back to walking my dog and into dance class again. Everyone at The Wellness Bank is friendly and welcoming! read more

Denise Chyette at the Wellness Bank was instrumental in helping me through my twin pregnancy. My OB prescribed prenatal physical therapy to relieve worsening lower back and sciatic nerve pain, and I would literally count the days between my weekly visits with Denise! I saw her during my second and third trimesters and up until a few days before the twins were born. She began every session by assessing how I was doing and where I was most in pain, and then tailored each physical therapy session to help me target my priority areas. She guided me through every exercise, ensuring safe and proper form, and by the end of each session I was relaxed and in less pain. Denise also taught me exercises to do on my own at home, which really helped me get through the week in between our visits. I also credit the therapy regimen for my faster recovery from my delivery! On top of it all, Denise is a kind and genuine person and it was clear that she cared about me (and my babies!). The Wellness Bank also has ample and convenient parking, nice and comfortable therapy spaces, and clean equipment. I highly recommend Denise and The Wellness Bank to other mommies to be! They are a professional business that puts their clients first and offers truly individualized attention. Thank you, Denise, for helping me enjoy a healthy pregnancy. I am forever grateful! read more

I LOVE Karina. She is the best PT I have come across. She is my 3rd PT in 6 months. I've seen the most results with her, in the least about of time. I've had 3 injections from my doctor and still nothing has come close to how she has helped me! Would highly recommend Karina. Everyone at the Wellness Bank is professional and friendly. read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful Dr. Dave is! He really helped me get out of pain! The Wellness Bank has a very friendly atmosphere and a great staff!!! I highly suggest giving them a try! read more

I highly recommend Denise Chyette and The Wellness Bank. I was there for herniated disc & sciatic injury.

From physical therapy, yoga, pilates to therapeutic massage, The Wellness Bank and their phenomenal team helped me tremendously through my pregnancy and continue to strengthen my core to get back to my regular self after babies. Thank goodness such wonderful staff and programs exist! read more

Before I came to The Wellness Bank I had lost all my hope to feel pain-free ever again. After a car accident, I tried different doctors, endless medications, and various physical therapy places but unfortunately, nothing was helping me with my headache, neck pain and back pain. I am so grateful to Dr. Lee Kissel who referred me to Denise Chyette (a Doctor of Physical Therapy) at The Wellness Bank. I have to admit that I was a little skeptical to try yet another "physical therapy" place. At that time, I did not believe that anything would work to alleviate my pain. With that in mind, I arrived at The Wellness Bank and was greeted by Denise whose energy and bright smile made me return for the second visit. In addition, I liked the fact that there was convenient free parking in the back. Also, the place was bright, clean, and spacious. Denise suggested that I see "Tami" and, boy, was I glad she did! After a few sessions with Tamara Gatinel, my pain was going away! It was like a miracle! She explained to me that in addition to Pilates, she practices CranioSacral therapy which is using gentle touch to relieve pain and dysfunction in the body to promote self-healing. Today, I am not in pain anymore. I keep returning to Tami to maintain and enhance the sense of wellbeing. If you are one of those people who think they are a hopeless case because nothing has worked for you in the past, I recommend you try The Wellness Bank. read more
