I developed acute pain from TMJ injury. I've heard the clicking for years and never had any pain till one day I yawned SO BIG, I thought my jaw wasn't going to click back. Thank goodness my daughter recommended this place. Not many places specialize in TMJ therapy, but thank goodness for Dr. Ko. Very professional. Hands on care excellent. Instructions are easy to follow and understand. Thank goodness he has a pillow to place underneath my knees which helped lessen any lower back pain. The majority of the staff I liked. Nice sitting area while you wait. Many treatment rooms which are also very nice and clean. Parking is usually $6 if you get out on time. There's also metered parking if you choose not to park in the building. They take Anthem insurance. After paying my deductible, each treatment was $15 each afterwards. Well worth it. read more

I have had several PT prescriptions for different issues over the years and each time. I return to Dr. Ko. He's like a detective searching for clues for root causes then treats it accordingly. For example. when my podiatrist said there was nothing wrong with my foot, Dr. Ko found issue and treated it. The office staff is friendly and welcoming making each visit a pleasant experience. The space is light, airy and clean with large windows. Dr. Ko is a physical therapist who listens to your pain and knows how to treat it. read more

Dr luk and staff are the best. Me and my both spare patients. Thank you for care love and absolute perfection.

Located on the 3rd floor of an office building in downtown Glendale, Joseph S. Luk Physical Therapy is an inviting office with a very friendly, helpful staff. Insurance and billing are handled with minimal fuss, and everyone is extremely nice. While recovering from bunion surgery, I was extremely lucky to work with Dr. Ani, who is an absolute pro (and a lot of fun). Her prescribed exercises got me walking again, her guidance filled in the gaps in my surgeon's instructions, and her care on the would itself helped it to heal with very little scarring. Now I'm just about 100%, and I'm actually sad that I won't be coming by. Rest assured that if I am physically screwed up in the future, I will be back! read more

I had a great experience at Luk Physical Therapy dealing with some acute knee pain that I developed from running and biking. Dr Ani was great at understanding what my particular issues were and providing different types of treatments from stretches to cupping to releasing fascia. She provided exercises for me to do at home and adjustments to my work environment to help long term that have really helped get me back to normal. Additionally, the office staff were really friendly and super flexible with me and scheduling. It took a while to get my initial appointment but it was well worth the wait. read more

Dr. Ani is the absolute BEST! I was having so much tightness in my back and after just ONE cupping session with her, my back felt so much better for WEEKS! She's so gentle, responsive and friendly - a true professional in her field. Couldn't recommend her enough to anyone in need of physical therapy. Thank you for getting me back in tip-top shape, Dr Ani! The world could use more people like you. read more

After 6 months of severe low back pain I visited Dr.Ko and so far I've seen him 4 times and see a huge difference. My pain level has gone from 9 to 2. He's amazing at what he does. I have referred family members with back pain as well to Dr.Ko. read more

I needed physical therapy after having a spine surgery. I cannot say enough how wonderful this Physical Therapy office is! The front desk women are amazing! Everyone is always so pleasant! Especially Karine and Karen! read more

Dr. Kuo has helped me tremendously with back pain and has treated my husband for shoulder pain. He has a very calming presence, is very kind and really pinpoints what treatment will work best for you. So glad my doctor referred me to this clinic. The staff are great and very helpful. My husband and I call Dr. Kuo a miracle worker ! read more

Dr. Michael Ko tried his best to understand my issue and treat the root of the problem. Although my issue is not completely gone, I think now I have more information and tools to deal with it. The office staff were really nice and caring too specifically Naira. read more

Dr. Ko is extremely thorough and knowledgable and works diligently to identify the root of the problem. He takes the time to explain, and provides manageable follow-up to do at home. The aides are incredibly friendly and the office is beautifully maintained! I highly recommend! read more

I was very happy with this place and they helped me a lot with my back problems and I would highly recommend

I've been to a bunch of physical therapy offices over the years for various sports injuries and the care I got here might be the best I've ever received. It's really hard to find a good PT in LA that isn't booked out for months, so I really lucked out finding this place! It only took a few minutes into my first appointment with Dr. Ani to know that I made the right decision. I was down bad after hurting my shoulder from a climbing accident that resulted in surgery. Dr. Ani helped me through it and then some. She's amazing at what she does and it's not just her either - the entire staff took such great care of me and I'm forever grateful. You're in good hands if you come here read more

I am writing this review as a past employee of over two years with this company. I can confidently say I have never came across a healthcare clinic that truly cares for the well being as much as this company. From the office administration to actual doctor treatment, Luk physical therapy is a special office that truly cares for the improvement of your health. The attention to detail and thoughtful care sets this office apart from others. Also being a patient who has personally received care from all four doctors, I undoubtedly experienced the "fully body approach" has significantly changed my physical well being as a bodybuilder. I believe this clinic has made substantial change in the healthcare community, changing lives, and will continue to grow and rise. I highly recommend any patient in need of physical therapy to contact the office and receive treatment. read more

Joseph S. Luk Physical Therapy - The doctors! - Physical Therapy Near Me - Glendale, California

Dr. Ko and the staff here have been great and instrumental in my care and rehab. Very much in tune with what is working, what isn't, what needs more attention and what we can move on from - I am positive that should I have gone elsewhere I would not be as functional as I am today. Fine-tuning as my needs/concerns change/evolve - an absolute solid care provider. Would recommend 10 out of 5 times, lol. The back office staff and PTAs are also great - friendly, eager and willing to help and make you feel comfortable. Ample (validated) parking in the garage below. read more

Everyone really cares here and is so nice! The best PT experience I've experienced. I've had issues with both my knee and shoulder and both were greatly improved by the expert attention of Michael Ko and staff. Great hands on attention to the joints and muscles during visits, and great instruction for home exercises and beyond. Questions answered very clearly! There is a lot of care and expertise here at Joseph S. Luk. Great space with great equal as well. highly recommend! read more

Tape ! With nearly a lifetime of abuse to my body and, after visiting the multitude of Dr.'s, instructors, Therapists, acupuncturists, and a voodoo priestess or two ( that's another story ) , I must shout " Tape " you can't live without it !! The power of tape is incredible!!! First, after a thoroughly comprehensive interview with Dr. Ani Khachatoorians, PT, DPT. She was able to diagnose a few issues and determined where and how we should begin to " Fix " me. ( I'll attempt to be clear ) It appears that my outer muscles are causing my inner muscles to behave badly thereby causing pain, dizziness and fatigue . TAPE!! 30 mins after the application ( see photo ) The muscles started to respond correctly, The nerves stopped sending random messages of pain due to misaligned skeletal and muscular structures, and the feeling of spaciness floated away. The bottom line is this, I am in good hands, I trust those hands and the person to whom they belong. I trust the office, the staff and the incredible attention to detail, cleanliness and safety. If you or someone you know needs or could benefit from PT, May I suggest no other than Dr. Ani Khachatoorians, @ Joseph S. Luk, Physical Therapy. read more

I suffered a bad break and dislocation in my right ankle about 25 years ago. For a long time, it was okay, but as I got into my 40s, arthritis really started to set in. It got to the point in the past few years that I could barely walk a mile (running was out of the question) without limping and/or having deep discomfort. A surgeon I consulted with recommended I do physical therapy, but I was dubious that it would have any real effect. However, working with Dr. Ko helped me regain both mobility and some added durability. I don't think running marathons is in my near future (not that it ever really was), but I have been able to really improve my day-to-day life, and the instances where my ankle feels extremely weakened or painful have grown fewer and farther between. As the parent of a four-year-old, and an active person as well, this has been a real boon. Add to all this the fact that Dr. Ko has a great disposition, as does the office staff, and it really made for an incredibly positive experience working with them. I highly recommend their services! read more

For the first time in over 25 years, I am pain-free. Dr. K is an incredible physical therapist. Her kinesiological knowledge base and ability to understand a problem's cause and design a custom-fit solution are beyond measure. The entire organization is beyond measure. The front office staff and physical therapy assistants are kind, professional, and equally knowledgeable. The entire experience, from start to finish, is efficient yet personal and considered. My experience has been that when you go to a physical therapist with a complaint, they work on the area causing pain and no more. Most PTs don't know what to do if that doesn't work. It felt like PT was a one-size-fits-all experience, like an assembly line. NOT at Dr. Luk's! I feel treated like an individual with my own needs and experiences. Dr. K will never give up until she finds the cause and designs a solution that works. Look no further, Dr. K is the best around. read more

Michael Ko is outstanding. He helped with my knee pain, which had been bothering me for a year, and finally figured out what other therapists couldn't. It was an amazing experience. read more

Dr. Michael Ko is amazing, professional , friendly and knowledgeable. He answer all of my questions and take his time to make sure you get the right treatment. I want to say he has magic hands! I remember the first day I went there with very bad shoulder and back pain, now , no pain at all . His staff are very nice and helpful too , especially Naire is awesome, she make's scheduling easy. I had the best experience here . Thank you Dr. Ko and Joseph S. Luck physical Therapy team! read more

I chose Joseph S. Luk Physical Therapy from a list of 4 that my spine surgeon recommended for pain issues related to my severe scoliosis. I based my decision on high ratings and the fact it was close by and had a McDonalds(!) in the building lobby. I was not disappointed. The office is bright and airy, clean and well run. The layout includes nicely furnished private rooms for therapy sessions. Ani Ailian is often at the front desk and is the efficient and capable manager of the office. She and the staff I met - Nick, Naire, Rachel and Jordan - greeted me with a friendly hello, by name, each time I came in. And they were kind! They were also eager to assist me with anything, from validating my parking, leading me to a therapy room at the appointed time, offering water, or setting up a wonderful heat pack for my back. I came in for PT sessions from February through June. The office became busier as the Covid pandemic waned and masks became optional, but there was no change in the courtesy and care I received. And, I definitely pulled the brass ring when I was assigned to Dr. Ani Khachatoorians as my physical therapist. At our first meeting, I knew I was in capable hands and was excited to start treatment. I was impressed with her positive energy, her honesty and knowledge, her professionalism AND sense of humor. She observed my gait, determined where I might be stiff or hurting and manipulated my body in different ways to relieve my tension and ease my pain. Early on she taught me 5 key stretches that I could do daily at home to help manage my pain. I asked and learned how the exercises were helping me. I appreciated that she was willing to answer any question and did so with thoughtful, honest feedback. When my primary care doctor asked me to have muscle strengthening exercises included, she had Nick teach me 8 new exercises that same day. Nick also provided me with written instructions for each to take home. Dr. Ani was direct and easy to talk to. I looked forward to my sessions with her because friendly conversation was always part of it, and there was always laughter, even if there was pain. I gained more than physical therapy in my sessions with her. I was sad when it was time to end my sessions, but I ended with a deep appreciation for the care physical therapists provide, a greater awareness of my body, and tools to help me manage my pain and keep my body strong for possible future spine surgery. I am grateful for the compassionate and capable care I received. Huge respect to Dr. Ani Khachatoorians and ALL the staff at Joseph S. Luk Physical Therapy - they are the best! read more

Dr. Ko was recommended for the bruxism I was dealing with. He was excellent and exhibited a healthy curiosity about my functionality and engaged in a real conversation about areas on which to focus. He also helped immensely with tendinitis in my arm as well, I went in a total shambles and came out with targeted ways to improve my mobility and use! My relationship with PT isn't over, however, I'll be seeing Dr. Ko when I'm ready to work on my usage again, anytime, hands down, 5 stars. Can't recommend him enough, and he's very knowledgeable about neck and jaw area. read more

Dr Jason Luk is one of the best health care practitioners I have ever been to, full stop. His office is caring and exceedingly competent, and his assessments are thorough, practical, and address your physical self not only through exercises and adjustments, but also on an emotional level. He understands that stress affects compliance! I went to Dr Luk and got the tools I need to stay healthy for my life. Chiropractors can't give you that! So this is a vote for physical therapy in general and Dr Luk especially! read more

Dr. Ani Khachatoorians (Dr.K) is an absolute godsend! I'm a graduate student, and I sit at my desk for hours on end working and, as you can imagine, always stressed! The muscles in my shoulders and neck are the first to seize, spasm, and cause me tension and pain, making it hard to function daily. Dr. K's magical touch, knowledge, and years of experience were my life-saver. She doesn't just help in the hour that I'm in the office, but she goes out of her way to teach and print exercises/stretches that I can do on my own time to help speed up the healing and maintain my own as well! 10/10 don't walk--run to make an appointment with Dr. K! read more

Joseph's Luk Physical Therapy is THE BEST. Hands down. I have been treated both by Dr. Luk and Dr. Michael Ko and I couldn't ask for better therapy. Their expertise in assessment and treatment is always clear during every visit and I personally improved very quickly under their care. The office is also so warm and friendly, I felt very comfortable and in good hands all the time. No one wants to be injured but if you are-- this is the place to go. read more

Problem: SI joint inflammation. Dr. Ko's hands on approach is very helpful. Prescribed post-treatment exercises focused on core strength & hip stability. Treatment schedule was reasonable, and frequency of appointments was reduced as the issue improved. PT assistants were focused & responsive. Office staff is professional & nice. Facility & equipment were great. read more

I just got off the phone with their manager Ani, who cancelled my 1st appointment scheduled for this morning because I told them that I would not sign their outdated strict $75 penalty policy for LATE arrivals and MISSED appointments. Charging $75 for a late arrival is unheard of : what is considered late? 5 min, 10 min? I arrive late for a 45min appointment my penalty is I don't get the full time of service. Missing an appointment without 24hr notice can happen now with COVID. I discussed that their policy verbiage needs to be updated to accommodate the current health crisis and unfair for the late arrival clause (charge a late penalty and still charge the insurance, excellent scam) but she refused to do that and just verbally said that she would evaluate each situation but I needed to sign the policy(?) ((This happened after they called me this morning at 8:30am to confirm that I am coming to my appointment for 10am. Which I said I am. They ended up cancelling my appointment for this morning (without a 24hour notice! I think I should send them a bill! :-/) read more

Joseph S. Luk Physical Therapy - $75 charge for late arrivals to physical therapy! Is that legal? - Physical Therapy Near Me - Glendale, California

At 46 I started having chronic hip pain after working stressful desk work for 25 years. After working with Ani I learned the stretches and exercises that put me on the path the healing. She's such a great person she not only helped my injury but also talking to her cheered me up each time we met. At last, I'm pain free and healthy again and feel 20 years younger! read more

The whole experience at Joseph S. Luk Physical Therapy was professional, effective, efficient, professional, kind, caring, outgoing, and what else?!!! Clean and a surplus of equipment for PT. They helped me so much with my recovery of 2 patella replacements. Don't go anywhere else in the City of Glendale!!! read more

This is a kind, helpful, healing environment. I felt so taken care of coming here after my knee surgery, and stronger when I left. Everyone took time to explain to me what we were doing and why. I got excellent help from Dr. Yeterian who was knowledgeable and observant. The PT assistants were on the same page and knew their stuff. I got clear, specific direction and enjoyed being in a helpful, friendly environment. The space is nice too! Just great energy all around. read more

Had an amazing experience and came out healed after my sessions with Dr. Michael Ko at Luk Physical Therapy!!! Went to them based on their good reviews on Yelp for intense shoulder pain. Dr. Ko had amazing bedside manners, and magical hands that rubbed the pain away. The exercises he gave me for homework were easy to do and also helped ease the pain. Also, a big shout out to Ani at the front desk- super organized, calm, easy to connect with, and just simply nice! read more

I've seen a myriad of specialist in my young age. Consistently doctors that rather treat the symptoms than discover the root of the problem. I went to Dr. Luk via a general PT referral from my GP. I had initially gone in to receive a referral to a neurologist because my presenting symptoms led me to believe it was potentially significant. My GP asked that I be evaluated by a PT before escalating and I agreed. Upon my initial evaluation Dr. Luk confidently determined that it wasn't in fact a root neurological issue but rather a slew of untreated residuals from my previous surgeries and conditions. After a month of multiweek treatment I was truly floored. When I'd entered his office I took our appointments standing because the drive to his office rendered myself unable to sit. By the end of our treatment I was doing the periformis 4-stretch without hesitation. I pray I don't ever need a specialist again, but if I do, I wouldn't go anywhere else. Descriptive. Authentic. Great facility. Vibrant young staff. Enough said. Thanks to the whole team. read more

In the past year I saw both Dr. Ani Khachatoorians and Dr. Michael Ko for separate issues. I have nothing negative to say so I'll keep this brief. All of the staff here are super friendly and helpful. The doctors are knowledgeable, great communicators, and most importantly, they fixed the issues I'd been dealing with and I haven't had to go back since. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a PT in the Glendale area. read more

I received PT treatment from Dr. Ani Khachatoorians over the course of 2 months to relieve my lower back pain. She was professional, easy to talk to, brutally honest (which I loved), and she greatly aided in fixing up my lower back issues with manual therapy + prescribed exercises. The PT aides & administrative staff are all very friendly and helpful. The facility itself is exceptionally clean and modern/aesthetically pleasing; their exercise floor/equipment is very well taken care of, and patients usually start off with manual therapy in a private suite. Additionally, I've only heard positive feedback from other patients who were frequenting this clinic, so you'll have a good time regardless of who you see for treatment at Joseph S Luk Physical Therapy. Overall, I had a very positive experience as a patient here and will definitely come back in the future if I have any further need for physical therapy treatment. read more

Dr. Ko and the staff at Luk Physical Therapy are wonderful. I had suffered a horrible spasm that left me in the worst pain of my life. I was afraid I would not be able to go back to my old workouts. But Dr. Ko was able to work his magic and got me feeling like my old self. I highly recommend this great group of Doctors and PT Aides. read more

I have been to so many other facilities for physical therapy and honestly none of them come anything close to this facility. Dr. Karine Yeterian and Dr. Ani Khachatoorians are absolutely outstanding physical therapist who go above and beyond to help you and they have done nothing short of miracles on me. Understood exact points of problem and worked on it with so much care. I wished I had come to this facility years ago, most of my issues would have been solved much faster. The staff, each and every one of them are so kind, so caring and very professional. Putting it simply I look forward to my days I have to go for therapy. I highly highly recommend this wonderful group to anyone in need of physical therapy. read more

I was referred to this practice by my doctor for some issues with my hips, shoulders and back. I did multiple sessions over 6 weeks. In that short amount of time, not only did I experience significant improvements but by the end of it most of my issues had gone away completely. All of the staff are very friendly and inviting. They happily accommodated all of my scheduling requests. I missed one appointment by mistake and they were very nice about it. Finally, Dr. Ani took very good care and provided an excellent recovery program. Throughout that time she showed genuine care and concern for my well being. I stopped going after 6 weeks, only because she was a victim of her own success. I would highly recommend her and this team for anyone experiencing musculoskeletal problems. They will definitely take good care of you! read more

This was the second physical therapy office I tried after a 1.5 year-long issue with plantar fasciitis from running. Dr. K was able to fix in a couple months what others weren't able to fix in over a year! (A previous provider recommended 3 cortisone injections, custom orthotics, PT - so I've really tried it all!) This entire office was so professional, clean, helpful, informative, flexible - I will recommend this office to anyone who needs PT. read more

Been visiting Dr Luk for many months now and his knowledge and technique is very unique and I appreciate the time he puts to make sure his patients are taken care of. I never felt rushed at any of my visits or when I brought my son to see him. I highly suggest having a consultation here with Dr Luk and his staff. Everyone is very friendly and caring during the difficult time in our lives especially when pain is involved. Only suggestion I have is that you do everything he or his staff tell you to do and you will see a better result and improvement in your recovery. read more
