I can't begin to tell you how lucky I feel to have found Origin PT!
2 years ago, I found out I had a genetic mutation which gave me a 50% chance of getting breast cancer. Coupled with my family history, it was a no brainier for me to get a preventative double mastectomy. I had a horrible experience with my surgeries, having suffered intra operative burns on my breasts, tools dropped on me and just generally poor care from my original surgical team. Needless to say, I was super traumatized and not feeling the medical world AT ALL. After my mastectomy surgery, I was having a lot of pain and difficulty with mobility. I asked my surgeon if I could start PT and they referred me to a hospital style clinic that had a 2 month wait list. I can't even imagine what the therapy would've been like there.
I asked my GYN if he could refer me to a female based PT place and without hesitation, he said go to Origin PT!
After my first call, I already knew I was in good hands. They were pretty booked, but made room for me to be evaluated in the Brentwood location the next day so I could get on the schedule in Weho as soon as possible. They took my insurance and were so on top of communicating with me about the specific prescription I needed and were very thorough. It was a breath of fresh air coming from the horrible office I dealt with during my surgical experience.
I first met with Johanna, who I immediately clicked with. She fully understood what my body needed and we were able to drastically increase my mobility in preparation for my upcoming exchange surgery, which is when they replace your spacers with implants. After suffering another injury during that surgery, she encouraged me to switch surgeons and even helped me find the surgeon I ended up getting my reconstruction done with and I couldn't be happier with the results. She truly went above and beyond and offered support in a way that I always wished for, but just hadn't seen at the big hospital medical offices I was going to. She offered support to me in so many more ways that go beyond PT and I can't begin to thank her enough. Her hands are insane too! She has an understanding of the human body that is rare to find and I always leave my sessions with her feeling way better!
Through her, I met Jada, and Morgan who were her students that I was cool with having learn in my sessions. They are now Dr.'s and were hired there.
Jada's strengths are mobility exercises and she really knows what types will get your mobility going.
Morgan has hands of gold and is the cupping queen. I've seen tremendous progress in my scar healing and mobility through sessions with her.
When Johanna left to have a baby, I met Anthea who is amazing as well! Her chill energy is so calming and she also has hands that get in there!!
Plus they're all dolls. Like, I want to hang out with them and braid each others hair. They are all so unique and special to me in different ways and I can't believe this isn't a review for my best friend but my PT place!!!!
Haha
Oh, and the front desk girls are bomb as well. Shoutout to Natasha, Kim, Flor and Dana, who always greet me with a big smile and set the tone for the experience I'm about to have.
I can't say enough good things. If you want a PT experience that will change the way you think about healthcare in the best way possible, do yourself a favor and make an appt. at Origin Physical Therapy. read more
