If you are over 50 and seeking to increase your strength and become firmer, Darren is the trainer for you. Darren is knowledgeable, patient, kind, supportive, fun to train with and a true Blessing. He is an excellent listener and will check in with you throughout the workout and keep you motivated. Darren has a work around and variations of exercises to ensure maximum progress is achieved. His confidence in me makes me believe I can do exercises that are challenging. I appreciate his positive influence. I am so grateful for Darren. Six weeks ago I started my journey to improve my shape and appearance. I knew I needed help, as cardio alone was unsuccessful for me. Presently, I am stronger, firmer and have more energy. My tummy is getting flatter!!! Yay! Multiple muscles have been awakened and areas that have been on vacation are doing the happy dance again. Two words "muscle memory". It's real! Having successfully completed physical therapy a few years ago, I am truly thankful that Dr. Ja'nae Brown selected Darren as my personal trainer. She is my She-ro!!! It is my honor and pleasure to highly recommend Darren for strength and conditioning. If you are fortunate enough to train with him, it will be time well spent. Hope to see you there. Let's GO!!! read more

I came here after a failed PT stint for my partially torn meniscus tear. Dr. S has been treating me and I have been able to return to lifting, hiking, Pilates, and running again. Still lots of work to do on my behalf and all the physical therapists and aides here are amazing and very knowledgeable. If you're looking to return to sports or physical exercise, physical therapy San Pedro is the place you should go to. They treated my injury with a variety of different exercises before we progressed into weightlifting to help my leg get back to strength. I highly recommend them!! read more

I Started Going To Physical Therapy 2 Months Ago Due To A Back Injury Since I Started I've Dealt With Nothing But Greatness Dr. Brown Deja Dr.S Christian Roger They Helped Me In So Many Ways So Professional They Really Go Up And Beyond To Make Sure Your Very Well Taken Care Of And You Get Back On The Right Track read more

Dr. Silverton has helped me greatly. I have long had an imbalance on the right side of my body. In pictures of me standing against a wall - and also in x-rays - you could see that my right side is lowered. This became an issue when I did overhead barbell presses. My right side had less flexibility and also was in pain. With a judicious application of his full body weight against my right shoulder, and the addition of mobility exercises, my shoulders are now evened out and my overhead presses are progressing smoothly. I highly recommend Dr. Silverton. Thank you, Dr. Silverton! read more

Excellent PT--all therapists are highly skilled and motivating. Because this facility is a very complete gym, strength and flexibility exercises are interesting, varied, and effective. It is very easy to transition to maintenance at home or at the gym. read more

Went for a shoulder rehab and got paired with Dr Yana. She really made it possible to see the light at the end of the tunnel and worked diligently to reach the goals we set out to achieve with the rehab. Alongside being very attentive, she made the experience very pleasant and rewarding. Can't recommend enough to get somebody who has your back and makes it seem they're really on your team to get you healthy again! read more

I just wrapped up my 3rd week with Dr. Sandoval (Jillian and Julie), and I have been extremely pleased with my results. I had a full hip replacement, and each session I'm feeling stronger and gaining more mobility. Dr. Sandoval is a careful listener and takes time to learn more about me, my lifestyle pre-surgery and goals post-surgery. Each session, we check in and that informs the approach for the workout...not cookie cutter, one size fits all. This has also helped me to be more intentional about my workouts at home and listening to my body. Before PTSP, I would simply push through and ignore the aches and pain. The team at PTSP are amazing. Everyone brings great energy and makes you feel like part of their supportive community. I'm truly grateful to be on my journey to recovery with them. If it's time for you start a physical therapy journey, this is the place. You won't find a better team. read more

Doctor Bay and the entire staff is outstanding, and the quality of care is remarkable. I am someone who has had several injuries and plenty of experience with physical therapy, so believe me when I say that Im unbelievably happy to have found this place. For the first time for me it's not been the same old treatments, same old exercises for the same injuries that I've had in the past which always made me hate going to therapy. I'm having great results and couldn't be any happier. read more

I would like to thank Dr. Bay and everyone who has helped my 7 year old, Jodie achieve some major goals she has for dancing. Jodie loves to dance, but she needed some help in the flexibility department. Dr. Bay created a program for my daughter to safely train the proper muscles to get stronger and allow her body to do the splits and back bends that her dance routines require. Jodie looked forward to seeing Dr. Bay and she also looked forward to doing her home exercise program 3 times a week. The exercises she learned are invaluable and we are very grateful to have had this experience!!! read more

See all

This has been my first experience with physical therapy. Now it is my sincerely belief that 95% of the general population could probably benefit from a PT program. I've been very pleased with Physical Therapy San Pedro and the whole team. They're great at communicating a customized program for your goals. Experts in their field and enjoyable to be around. Something I look forward to throughout the week! read more

The reviews here and on Google didn't lie! PTSP is an excellent PT place. It's not your run-of-the-mill physical therapy. It's one-on-one personalized PT, every time, not just the first visit. The treatments and exercises are customized to your specific needs and constantly adjusted to continue to meet your needs and help you improve. Everyone I've worked with there so far is amazing, from Drs Yana, Brown and PTA, Priscilla, and the newest addition to the team, Dr. Silverton. I could barely get up the stairs or get up from sitting before, a few weeks later and it's going a lot better! Hope I can continue to work with them! read more

Dr. Bay and the whole team at Physical Therapy San Pedro are excellent! My daughter had a dance injury and her doctor recommended physical therapy to correct strength imbalances. Dr. Bay made a great plan, kept me updated on her progress, and helped me make good decisions for my daughter's long term health. We are very grateful! read more

Saved my back, neck and lifting career! I am an experienced Strongman competitor that was injured in a car accident around July 2022. I ended up with 8 herniated discs in my back and neck ... not exactly something you want to deal with whenever you are attempting to carry 1000 pounds on your back. I had never had a back issue before the car accident. I live in Texas by the way! Everything was done remote! Dr Brown did a complete assessment on me and developed numerous different warmups and workouts for me to do as I was easing myself back into lifting. Keep in mind, I do not lift as the average man does, I pick up 400 pound stones, carry yokes on my back, and shoulder 350 pound sandbags. This is only important because it relays just how incredible Dr. Brown is. In the middle of my recovery from the car accident, I was hospitalized with appendicitis and had 4 incisions to my abdominal wall, stayed in the hospital 5 days with blood infection, and lost 35 pounds. Dr. Brown didn't miss a beat, she pivoted on my rehab plan and included the abdominal injuries as part of the plan. She always made time for me on the schedule and made it super easy to get in touch. The virtual physical therapy was excellent as well. I have had several injuries that required PT in the past and the experience I received online with Dr. Brown was superior to the in person treatment at other facilities. Overall, Dr. Brown then left me with warmups that I could continue to use for years afterwards before my workouts that completely changed my functional abilities. Within weeks of both injuries I was already returning to normal function and working out again. I even recommended her to my wife after she gave birth to our youngest son. Dr. Brown has my absolute highest recommendation for the best experience I have had with PT in my life. Thank you and your staff so much Dr. Brown! read more

Almost 3 months of PT so far after hip revision surgery, after a hip replacement back in July 2020. Dr. "D" Saiki has been AWESOME with my strength building and recovery after 4 years of pain and leg atrophy. My PT is not over and I have a lot more work ahead of me, but I feel much stronger so far physically and mentally, thanks to Dr. D and crew!!! read more

I was told that I needed a knee replacement but I should lose weight and do physical therapy. I was reluctant to do pt as I had done it once before after my hip was replaced. I am sure it helped but lack of attention while I was there made me reluctant to do so. Thankfully that office was booked a month in advance which made me look elsewhere. When I called they said they could get me in within a few days. Was glad to get started. I am seeing Dr Sandoval and am so happy with the care I am getting from him And everyone else there. I am never without someone guiding and evaluating what I am doing. I receive constant encouragement and look forward to working out. If your looking for a place with kind, caring, attentive and knowledgeable therapy this is the place. read more

Had tremendous pain in my knee from years of ballet. As an older adult, I thought that it was permanent and my quality of life would never return to what it had been. After a visit with Dr. Bay I was able to take a ballet class the following day. Feeling 10 years younger, I was able to sleep due to reduced pain. If I am consistent with my exercises at home, I'm hopeful for a full recovery. Thank you Physical Therapy San Pedro for your care and expertise! read more

My 13-year old son who plays basketball was experiencing knee pain. He was eventually diagnosed with two knee bruises that played a role in him developing Patella tendinitis. After weeks of pain, we scheduled an appointment at Physical Therapy San Pedro. Within a couple of sessions, the swelling and sensitivity were reduced. We followed both the in-person and home-program instructions which were both important in regards to him returning to sport. Though it was inspired by a setback it was an awesome experience. We both learned a lot, thanks to the team at Physical Therapy San Pedro! Thanks! read more

I had a previous PT in Redondo Beach for the last 4 years and decided to switch after seeing the gym and personally meeting the with staff at Physical Therapy San Pedro. The facility is very clean and the staff are all very welcoming, polite and easy to work with. I have been seeing Dr. D. for approx 2-3 months now for long term back and neck issues and I have to say I am feeling stronger and in less pain since I started working with him. He is very knowledgeable, encouraging and patient. Dr. D. does not just "give" you exercises - he "explains" the reasoning for them. That sounds silly, but it's really helpful to understand the why. I have a greater knowledge of my limitation but more importantly, a greater knowledge as to HOW to get stronger and maintain. I'm so happy I switched and I shall continue my rehab there for as long as it takes. read more

This is hands down the best PT spot around, exactly what san pedro needed. The Doctors and aides here are amazing. I literally had a broken back, L1 compression fracture. All I heard from other people was that I would never be the same again and this is something that will nag me forever. Blah blah.. Well Dr Brown and Dr P. assured me that wasn't true and as long as I did my stretches and core work outs I will be as good as new. I'm actually stronger than I was before the accident. Everyone at this place is top notch. Theyre a sweet yet tough bunch who will Whip you into shape in no time. Grazie! read more

Dr Sandoval and his staff are wonderful. Dr Sandoval treated me for vertigo. I felt hopeless and was worried on how I was going to be able to work and go on with my daily life. He treated me and made me well. I am so grateful to him for that. He is an amazing physical therapist and is credentialed in many specialties. He has the ability to help you because of his knowledge, commitment, and genuine concern about your well being. No words Can ever express how much I appreciate Dr Sandoval. I strongly recommend him for you and your family and friends. Sincerely Louise V. read more

If I could give more stars, I would. The doctors and aides are very committed to your well-being and progress. They change up the exercises so you don't get bored and extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The atmosphere is energetic and fully equipped. The staff is super nice. They provide you an app so you can follow your exercises at home. Thank you PTSP! read more

Best place to get rehab, I had bad knees from soccer and jiujitsu. In the past I had gone to other pt but when I came here they really work with you. They are very sports orientated and everyone is very friendly and supportive. read more

I've had plantar fasciitis pain for almost a year, and after only 1 visit, I was able to get out of bed this morning with minimal pain. I've been doing the at home exercises and stretches for 5 days now and have already noticed a difference. I saw Dr. Palermo, and she really took the time to explain everything to me and answered my questions, without feeling rushed. I am a runner and she truly made me feel like she understands how important it is for me to start running again ASAP. I'm looking forward to my next session to learn more and get stronger. The office staff was also very nice and friendly. They are helping me navigate my insurance, and have been super helpful too! I am very impressed with SP Physical Therapy and would definitely recommend them! read more

Great podcast. Episode 16 on back pain was very helpful to me being that I do suffer from chronic back pain. I now know that the more flexibility in my hip flexors and hamstrings will help alleviate some of my pain and of course having good posture. Thank you! read more

Dr Sandoval and staff are wonderful! Broke my ankle and they were able to get me moving as fast as lightning. Thanks Doc & Staff!

I am a 67 year old man and an avid scuba diver. Due to Covid, it had been a while since I had a diving opportunity. In October of 2021 I went diving in Mexico. I realized in that situation, I didn't have the flexibility that I enjoyed in the past. I decided I had to do something about that, and read the article about PTSP IN THE San Pedro Today. I went to the gym and was welcomed in and met a great group of therapists and clinicians. They put me through an extensive therapy/ exercise program twice a week for the last 4-1/2 months to improve my balance and flexibility. Dr. Bay and Dr. Brown along with therapist Kristen Clothey took a personal interest in my situation. All of the young ladies in this facility are a great bunch. I have another dive trip scheduled for May 2022 and I'm certain that the work PTSP has put into my care, will allow me to enjoy the scuba experience again. Thanks to Physical Therapy San Pedro., and the AllFit Gym. read more

I came in with sharp pain in my right shoulder while bench pressing and bicep (both) tendon pain. After 2 sessions, shoulder external rotation went from poor and restricted to amazing and mobile. As a powerlifter, I was able to achieve a great low bar placement while squatting, something I was never able to do! Currently working on addressing knee and abductor pain so I can comfortably squat. With Dr. D's knowledge and experience, I know I'll be ready to start my prep for my next powerlifting meet injury free! read more

After my hip replacement, I needed to go to a rehab facility that would not just help me get better, but return me to where I was physically before my hip was ever a problem. I wanted my strength and mobility back, and this place proved to be the ticket. After an extensive evaluation by my therapist, I was placed on a program working with the therapist along with very capable and observant assistants to help me get back to being the stronger, more active individual that I was before. Constant oversight during my visits by either my therapist or the assistants as I performed my exercises helped me to perform them correctly, allowing me to improve at a steady pace. Constructive criticism and additional instruction was given when I needed it, and lots of praise was given when I performed my exercises well. The facility offers a complete array of weightlifting equipment and exercise machines to allow me to do any exercise that the staff feels I am capable of performing in the course of my treatment. The therapist and assistants possess a high level of professionalism delivered in a low-key manner, making tasks performed during therapy easier to complete without stress or anxiety. Office staff, proactive and efficient, are always there to cheerfully assist you with your appointments along with referral and insurance questions. Thanks Physical Therapy San Pedro for giving me back my freedom! Martin P. read more

Even though I live in Long Beach, I followed Dr. Palermo from her position in Long Beach to her new position at Physical Therapy San Pedro (PTSP)because she had done such a great job working with me. She's totally professional while making me feel welcome and comfortable. Not only is PTSP lucky have Dr. Palermo, she is fortunate to have found such a great place to work. All of the staff I have dealt with are warm, personable and know their stuff! If you're looking for a place to experience high level service and healing, look no further! read more

Dr. D is amazing! He has gotten my son back in shape for Lacrosse after a torn ACL. This program has gotten him strong and field ready!

I am a 74-year-old woman. We recently did a remodel in the master bath and closet area. I found myself moving things from one place to another and back again. It took a toll on my right leg and I was in real pain. I found PTSP on the internet and gave it a try. Dr. Bay along with therapist Kristen worked diligently with me. In about 2 months I was out of pain and walking in the park again. I am so grateful to them for their expertise and encouragement. I highly recommend PTSP. read more

Best place for PT!! I have had back pain due to a disk protrusion L4-L5. Since I have been coming to San Pedro PT I've noticed my pain has gone down tremendously. Also, after my first week, I noticed my core a lot stronger as well. Dr. Brown and Dr. P take their time, are very attentive to your specific needs and also go above and beyond to assist you in getting better! I trust them with my recovery and their work. This is a one stop shop for all your recovery needs! read more

Over the years I have suffered various injuries both large and small, so depending on how you look at it I am unfortunately very familiar with physical therapy. I have been to so many physical therapy clinics throughout my different rehab stints that I have lost count of the number. This has given me a unique perspective on what constitutes great physical therapy experience. One of the first things that you notice at PTSP is how much individual time you get with each PT. One of the things I looked for when choosing a clinic is that you were able to spend a good amount of time with the physical therapist each session in order to ask questions and receive feedback as well. Some clinics I have been to in the past were very crowded and it felt like you were being hurried through your session or quickly passed off for the therapist to move to a new patient. That is far from the case here. Each PT spends ample time with the patient and is always available to answer any questions. I have worked with Dr. Saiki in the past where he really helped me recover quickly and strongly from a torn ACL. I was back running within 4 months which was much earlier than my prior experience. When I was looking for a PT clinic again, he was one of my first calls where I found him at PTSP. For someone like me, a former now retired athlete ); , I love that he challenges me by switching up exercises and staying at the forefront of the industry. I first used BFR technology with him and feel like it really helped me in my recovery. The physical therapy assistants are also very qualified and able to assist with exercises/answer questions when necessary. All the therapists here take the time to build relationships with the patients to better understand their short- and long-term goals. This helps in your recovery as they assist you in building plans for both at home and at the clinic to reach your goals. Everyone brings an energy that makes it easier to push through what can be mental and physical barriers. With that in mind, I would be remiss if I didn't shout out everyone at the clinic as they have all had a hand in one way or another of assisting me. Dr. Saiki, Dr. Brown, Dr. Bay, Dr. Sandoval, Rachel, Erica, Christine, Darius, Joanna, Antoinette, and of course can't forget Jessica I appreciate all of you. Rehab can sometimes be monotonous and taxing. Having the right people around to encourage and push you can really make all the difference. Of course, knowing what they're doing helps too! As far as the facilities, there is a nice large area and full weight room that gives plenty of room for any exercises required. I have never felt limited from doing any exercises. It's actually one of the more spacious and well-equipped clinics I've been too. If you have taken the time to read all the way through here, firstly, I'm both flattered and appreciative. Secondly, what I'm saying is that if you're looking for a caring physical therapy clinic that can get you back recovered quickly and better than ever, I highly suggest Physical Therapy San Pedro. And you can check the tape, I rarely write reviews. Only if the establishment is really above and beyond :D read more
