Went to evolution after breaking my foot. Have never broken anything and have never gone through PT. I worked with Michael and Daisy for several months and they were amazing. Not only did they get me back on my feet and hiking again, but provided such a great environment that I actually looked forward to going to PT. They were very invested in my recovery and I am very grateful to them both. Truly a great place with great vibes and they made a difficult process much easier. Can't recommend them high enough read more

Cindy and her team are amazing! I came to her with severe shoulder/neck pain secondary to my Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and she has helped better then any other PT specialist I have been to. She is kind, listens, and is supportive. She has the most knowledge of any practitioner when it comes to EDS in California. My twin sister has also seen her for her EDS-related pain and has improved in strength in mobility as well. I strongly recommend anyone with EDS to visit Cindy at Evolution PT. read more

Cindy was fantastic! She took a deep interest in helping me recover from my ACL reconstruction surgery. In addition, the staff in general was friendly and helpful. Would absolutely recommend. read more

I sustained an injury in my hip while training for the LA marathon - I went from running 14 miles to not being able to walk on my own. Devastating! After several frustrating weeks of x-rays, MRIs, and no answers from an orthopedic specialist, I had regained my ability to walk but was still unable to run more than a couple wobbly steps. Then I visited JP! He had me running on the treadmill on my second visit, and a week later I had graduated from PT altogether, able to run pain free and feeling strong. THANK YOU JP! read more

Cindy and her team are great! They are incredibly sensitive to each and every patient's particular injury or ailment. No matter how severe your injury, the care in which Cindy and the Evolution team take to get you back on track is second to none. Being an athlete my whole life Ive unfortunately had numerous experiences with Physical Therapy clinics on the Westside. Most of which have been a bit of a let down and leave me feeling like I can accomplish more on my own at home. However I can truly say since linking up with Cindy and Evolution I have made serious leaps and bounds in the direction I need to be going in to get back to the level of athletic performance I was at prior to my injury. I could not be doing so without her support, guidance and care. Whether coming off a major fracture with a completely reconstructed leg like myself or dealing with daily aches and pains from sitting at computer/desk for extended hours, the Evolution team can cater a program to your needs and desires for a comprehensive and thorough treatment. Everybody is treated in a caring and professional manner no matter how 'serious' ones condition may be. Also the support team (Shawn in my case) is very professional and supportive when going about the exercise, stretching, strengthening, and mobility programs. The clinic is attached to a really nice sized TriFit gym which only enables the therapists at Evolution to expand their treatment programs from the PT table into the gym. The environment is truly conducive to a well rounded recovery for each and every patient they take on. read more

The therapists at evolution are fantastic! For the better part of two decades I suffered from multiple, painful shoulder dislocations and after shoulder stabilization surgery earlier this year, I started six months worth of pt rehabilitation work at Evolution. I initially met with Cindy who is extremely knowledgeable. She explained every aspect of the rehab process, suggested helpful breathing exercises which alleviated my anxiety, and worked with me one-on-one twice a week for one month. When I had to change my schedule due to work, she hand-picked another therapist, Drew, to take over. Drew was amazing. I improved so much with him! He was extremely thorough, knowledgeable and attentive which made feel very secure. Drew also took time outside of our sessions to think about what additional exercises I could be doing as a I kept improving. I appreciate that he incorporated exercises to strengthen my back and stabilize my core in addition to focusing on the shoulder range of motion and strength exercises. He went above and beyond. Now I have near 100% range of motion plus plenty of strength to resume a regular workout routine. I am so thankful!! read more

Great location, very bright and open, with access to lots of space and equipment. That's just the beginning because you also get to work with Cindy, who is a fantastic PT. She listens to what your ailments or injuries are and then develops a plan to strengthen and reduce pain. I strongly recommend Cindy and Evolution PT, a winning combo. - parking is validated, but can get full - location is inside Trifit - locker rooms are high end - free drinks, including tea and flavored water read more

I recently went through 4 weeks of physical therapy at Evolution for a high ankle sprain. The whole experience was top notch. Kelli was my therapist and I was extremely impressed by her breadth of knowledge, work ethic, organizational skills and her manner as a therapist. I made immediate gains and my ankle and lower body are now much stronger than before thanks to the plan that Kelli laid out for me. CJ was great as her assistant and Abel at the front was awesome too. I very highly recommend the Evolution team for you PT needs. read more

Top notch facility, Cindy and Brian are super rad! Couldn't have picked a better place to get me walking again.

I wish I could recommend these folks but I can't. I started off with high hopes given the reviews I'd read but in my interactions with Evolution the staff was at times rude and other times arrogant. I don't think this is a time when businesses want to discourage customer or patients, given all that's going on in the world. Not going to get my PT done at this location. read more

Kelli and the team at Evolution changed my life. I live with chronic pain in both of my knees and I never knew that some of the pain could be alleviated from physical therapy. I look forward to going to every single session, knowing that I am in the best hands and that I will feel better. Kelli showed me what it was like to live with less pain in my knees for the first time in my life and I cannot thank her and the the team at evolution enough. Thank you!!! read more

JP and the team at Evolution were fantastic! Knowledgable, caring, and honest. They even got me out of PT ahead of schedule. Would absolutely recommend for anyone in the West LA area who has ankle issues. JP will get you right! read more

Evolution is the best PT spot around. I've been to a couple different PTs in the area for a ruptured disc in my lower back and Cindy at Evolution blows the others away. I can't say enough good things about Cindy and the team. read more

Cindy, is the best physical therapist I have ever worked with. She helped rehab my hips and knee, and created a tailored treatment plan to help me get back to my daily workout regiment. Not to mention she is very detailed and listens to her patients. I have loved working with her. Also, her aids are amazing as well! During the second half of my session I worked with Laura (one of the aids), she is so friendly and makes sure you are properly doing the exercises. This is a great location for physical therapy, patients have access to use the gym equipment during sessions which I found very useful. I highly recommend Cindy and the entire staff at Evolution! read more

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST PHYSICAL THERAPY OFFICE I HAVE EVER BEEN TO AND THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!! Cindy Liang is amazing. She LISTENS and is KIND and BRILLIANT. I have been through a lot of PT and it was not successful, but Cindy took the time and has the knowledge to figure out what was going on and come up with a plan to help me. I have pain relief and increased strength for the first time in over a year. I'm forever grateful and would highly recommend Cindy and her team at Evolution. Able at the front desk is personable, kind and helpful. He remembers when you like appointments and contacts you if there are cancellations to ask if you want the appointment. He is super!!! read more

I've been treated by Cindy Liang for over two years now on multiple iterations of a knee injury - she is unmatched. She is incredibly competent, explains in detail the mechanics of your injury and treatment plant, and listens to both you and your body to determine the best way for you to get better. She is relatable, kind, and passionate about getting you back to whatever activity level you'd like to return and has immense knowledge about a variety of injuries. I have a challenging work travel schedule and Cindy has been encouraging and adaptive to continue my strengthening progress on track. I would highly recommend Cindy for any age or injury needing physical therapy! read more

Cindy is the best. Period. She's just a really awesome, honest, caring, intelligent person which is a treat and not so easy to find. She helped me with long standing hip, neck and shoulder issues for which I was getting injections and contemplating surgery, versus just sucking it up and living with it. I had to be diligent with her prescribed regimen for sure, but here I am today, without shoulder pain, and much much less hip pain. It made such a difference in my life and I am so happy that I landed in her hands. Totally worth it!!! read more

I'm so grateful to Evolution PT--and especially Cindy -- for helping me recover after a hip dislocation. I'm used to exercising regularly and staying active, but I had two devastating and scary dislocations (of an artificial hip) within a year, and the second recovery was particularly slow. I had to lay off my regular workouts for several months and then go through a careful recovery process while trying to get back in shape. Cindy was just outstanding every step of the way. The therapy I received was exactly what I needed. I've had competent PT in other places, but I've never had a therapist who listened so well, addressed every question or concern I had with such thoughtful intelligence, and helped me get the most out of my efforts. I'm still building strength, but I've been able to resume nearly all of my normal activities. Best of all, I have a very clear idea of what I should and shouldn't do to keep my hip feeling good and functioning well, so I have my confidence back. My husband also worked with Cindy several years ago to recover from a back injury, with similarly good and long-lasting results. (Cindy was specifically recommended by his excellent doctor.) Everyone I've interacted with at Evolution has been welcoming and helpful. Hours of operation, location, and parking are all convenient. Give them a try! read more

If you are searching for a Physical Therapy location, search no more! I did a deep dive and went with Evolution and it was the best decision! I worked with Cindy and she was thoughtful in her approach to my recovery. I came in with a sprained MCL and felt like I was in good hands with everyone at Evolution. Not only was she knowledgeable, but I enjoyed everyone else I worked with and the environment was great; truly was sad on my last day! COVID wise, I felt very comfortable and safe with the measures they were taking to combat COVID (space, sanitizing, masks, etc.). Highly recommend! read more

I'm a competitive distance runner that had a persistent and worsening achilles and plantar fasciitis issues. Tried other PTs with no improvement. Went to Cindy Liang at Evolution and I'm back and a stronger runner than ever. In addition to helping manage the achilles issue, Cindy helped address some of the underlying causes--that I wasn't fully utilizing my glutes and obliques when I was running. The achilles issue is now better and manageable, and the plantar issue is gone. As an added benefit, running with these muscle groups engaged makes a remarkable improvement in performance. Thank you! read more

I've been meaning to write a review of Evolution in SM, and today when I went to the page I was surprised to see a negative review of the office manager, whose name is Mynina. It's like a different person was being described. I have needed PT on numerous occasions, so as a result I've frequently seen Mynina at work -- she stands out as an incredibly smart, friendly and super efficient office manager. Mynina routinely goes out of her way to accommodate schedules and patient needs. As mentioned, I've had PT at Evolution many times. I started with Jennifer Unterreiner at the Brentwood location. She is an amazing PT who helped me with various issues I was having as a result of medication I'm taking. When other problems arose and I needed to go back to PT, Jennifer had moved to the Beverly Hills office and recommended I see Cindy Liang in Santa Monica. I could not be happier with my experience with Cindy. She's an outstanding physical therapist as well as the clinic director. Cindy is so knowledgeable, patient, warm and helpful, and I'm always impressed with the level of her expertise. She's not only made me feel better but she assigns excellent exercises to do with the well-trained and friendly aides and at home. My husband saw CIndy for a chronic neck issue, and after one visit he reported that "She cured me!" He jokingly added that Cindy must be a witch because she's so good at what she does. I know when I'm in pain or something isn't working that Cindy will know what the problem is and show me how to address it. I have had PT at another company in SM and there is no comparison with the quality of the treatment and service. I've referred everyone in need of PT to Cindy or Jennifer, and they've all come away with the same reaction: Evolution has fantastic therapists! read more

I am so happy with my progress at Evolution! Kristyn has been helpful. She is very knowledgeable and encouraging with my hip issues. Everyone who has worked with me has been great. read more

I have been a runner for years and never had any issues. All of a sudden I started having a pain at the bottom of my knee/side of shin, and that pain persisted for about a month before I went to Evolution. Cindy was so great -- not only did she evaluate my running, she conducted a comprehensive examination of all factors affecting my running. Within three weeks the pain was completely gone, and I left with a whole new set of tools to prevent future injury. Cindy is extremely sharp, calming, and encouraging. It is great to know she is there if ever something else comes up! read more

Cindy and the team at Evolution PT in Santa Monica are incredible. Cindy is extremely knowledgeable and so generous with her time. I came in with a handful of issues and after some manual therapy and corrective exercises I walked out feeling great. I have a new sense of confidence going forward with tackling these old nagging injuries. Thanks again! read more

Cindy is a dream and hands down the best physical therapist i have ever worked with. she is kind, approachable, but knows how and when to push me. Evolution is the only physical therapy office i have ever looked forward to attending. Dinah and JP are also such gems! thank you team for your positive attitude! read more

I came to Evolution to try and alleviate severe back pain after several visits to the doctor couldn't determine the cause. As soon as I began working with Michael and the team, my symptoms reduced dramatically, and currently my back pain is no more! It was such a comfortable and easygoing environment for PT, and while I hope I won't have a reason to return soon, I would come back to Evolution in a heartbeat!! read more

Best PT in town. Cindy is extremely knowledgable, more so than many of the physicians I've seen regarding EDS. She's helped put me back together and keep me together. The entire team has been wonderful and I feel stronger, more stable and truly cared for here. Cindy really knows her stuff and deeply cares about her patients and it shows. I am so grateful I found her and I can't emphasize enough how much I appreciate her help and how much better she's made me feel. read more

I had shoulder surgery this year and went in to work with Cindy a month later to help rehab it. She did an amazing job of getting my shoulder back to fully functioning in a couple of months. She strictly followed the doctor's protocol but also added in core exercises to help meet my needs as well (because I hadn't been exercising in awhile from the shoulder injury). She is a lovely person and very patient and kind. Her massage technique is amazing (when she stretches and works out the muscles around the injury). She uses the perfect amount of pressure but also challenges the muscles. I have been to many physical therapists for injuries in the past and Cindy is one of the best I have ever worked with. When it comes to scheduling I suggest booking all of your appointments out early and to secure the times you want. They are very good about helping you re-schedule and getting you in if you have last minute changes. It has been 9 months since surgery and I am back doing every exercise I was doing pre-injury. The shoulder I had surgery on is actually stronger than the other shoulder. read more

This place is absolutely the best Physical Therapy on the Westside. As a physician, I have sent most of my patients to Cindy who some how always manages to get positive results no matter the diagnosis. Her approach is very practical based of the latest SCIENCE, yet doable for the real world individuals. She has managed high level athletes to my weekend warriors. I highly recommend this place. There is even a first class gym with personal trainers once you graduate from your rehab. What more can you ask for? read more

Cyndy is the best. I broke my ankle skiing in Feb of 2019 and it was a long road back. I had surgery and was on crutches for a long time. Cyndy's exercise and rehabilitation regime was exactly what I needed. She carried me through my recovery and was instrumental in my healing and was patient with me and kind. I have full range of motion, fully active and now I am skiing again. These guys are the best read more

This is the best PT and the best people. I highly recommend using them- easy to book appointments and call anytime. I've had 4 PTs there (over the course of several injuries- not all at once) and all of them were very knowledgeable and genuine. The took the time to diagnose and provide the correct the right move based on the individual. read more

My doctor told me he was sending me to the physical therapist he sees for his own issues, and I see why he loves this group and Cindi in particular. The whole staff is a joy to work with, and I feel especially fortunate to have found Cindi and Ben. They are knowledgeable, personable, and they communicate well so I understand what we're working on and why. They're also good about checking in with me to make sure we're getting the desired results. After any appointment where I get a new stretch or exercise to incorporate into my routine, I receive a personalized email describing the movement so I can remember how to do it correctly at home. The place is clean and located within a very nice gym (Trifit) so you have access to great equipment and validated parking. Extremely highly recommended! read more

This is a long overdue review. I first saw a PT at Evolution about two years ago and I was so impressed by their level of expertise. As an athlete that has lived in LA for twenty years, I have seen my fair share of PT's and none of them come close to the quality of care that Evolution provides. Recently I saw Cindy at their Santa Monica location, and she was AMAZING. She is not only thorough, she is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and caring. Their Santa Monica office is brand new, it is so clean, and is located in a great gym that has valet parking. If I could give Cindy 6 stars I would! If you are injured and looking for the best rehab available you need to see Cindy. The Best. read more

Working with evolution fitness especially Cindy has been great. They know what they are doing and are extremely professional. I have had some swimming injuries in the past and with their help was able to completely rehab my shoulder. They also have built an network of people who will help with whatever else you need from: personal training, acupuncture and etc. read more

Dr. Liang and her staff are nothing short of amazing. I got exactly the care I needed in order to recover from my broken arm and I am so glad - and lucky - that I went with her office for treatment. read more

What an amazing facility and staff. From the front desk to PT and assistants, I could not have had a fast enough recovery!! Lots of encouragement and patience with my torn Achilles injury. Cindy my PT is knowledgeable, listens and super technique savvy. I am now 7 months post surgery and starting to light run now, life is 95% back to normal. Thank you Evolution for your commitment and hard work!!!!! read more

Highly recommend! Have been going to Evolution Physical Therapy since early 2017 beginning at Brentwood location and currently in Santa Monica at TriFit. Love this group of multi-talented therapists! Cindy Liang & Ben Hubers are caring, compassionate, competent and helpful. Couldn't ask for a better team. I see improvement day-by-day and am so grateful for their expertise! read more

I've come to Cindy (and her team) for multiple injuries and issues over the past year. all of which have been managed and gotten back to the proper form, and allowed me to continue my active lifestyle as quickly as possible. the biggest thing that has been addressed in my chronic pain from TOS which has been the bane of my existence, and after seeing multiple PT's/Doctors has finally gotten under control. it's been a life saver and with Cindy i really don't know where i would be in my day-to-day. the pain was so severe i hadn't had a good nights sleep in years. Not only did she work with me in terms of therapy she got me in touch with the right doctors to compliment the PT work. I can't say enough about her and her team and I wouldn't recommend seeing another else but her. read more

So grateful for Cindy and the Evolution team!! I started coming to Evolution to recover from a FOURTH sports related knee surgery, but my first time at Evolution PT. Cindy is so knowledgable and has made personal adjustments for me throughout my entire recovery especially since my knee has been through so much trauma already she knows how to work with me. One of my favorite things about Evolution is that they have catered to my sports related injury and recovery. So Cindy has not been going easy on me in the best way, in the way an athlete like me needs to recover and come back stronger and ready to return to sport. I have found in other PT places sometimes they don't know how to cater to athletes and protect my knee, but Cindy and team are the best at it. Definitely go here. Do it. Your body thanks you. Also the Tri-Fit gym and the Evolution office are just such nice facilities, it's hard to get better! read more

I've been going to Evolution to see Cindy wince March 2019. I tore my ACL and had surgery in April 2019. Cindy is an amazing PT - she has not only helped me get back on my feet but is very personable! I would highly recommend. read more
