Pogson physical therapy saved my LIFE!! I'll try my best to keep this short but it's going to be hard considering this is the best Physical Therapist in all of Los Angeles. July of 2023 I had shoulder surgery and by December my shoulder was stuck and I was told I was going to need a second surgery (not good, since this means they would have to take out part of my rotator cuff). I was going to another PT at the time when my shoulder froze and 2 weeks before my 2nd surgery my surgeon recommended to try a different Physical therapist before I went under the knife again. Thank God for Dr. Pogson! This is not an exaggeration but one visit improvement with Pogson was the same as 3 weeks (2 times a week) at the other PT before I came to Pogson. Before I came here I was convinced the only way to fix my frozen shoulder was with another surgery and didn't know what the point was of going to another physical therapist....boy was I wrong! I have only been seeing Dr. Pogson for about 3 months and I almost have my full range of motion back. He is by far the best, most experienced physical therapist I have ever seen. I would've came here alone if the only good thing was his expertise in Physical therapy (in my case post op) but it's an amazing place to be at. Dr. Pogson is kind, funny, sympathetic and has an overall great energy. The rest of the staff are also great and make you feel right at home when you are there. The gym is nice and big, with plenty of equipment and they are always cleaning and wiping down stuff to make sure it always looks tip top in there. Also, there is always a ton of free parking in the back of the building. Please don't waste your time and health going to other places you don't know well. If it was up to me I'd come here twice a week forever hahaha. Thanks for everything Pogson PT! read more

See all

Best in the City. They really care and are highly qualified and experienced

Though hand-selected by the top hip and knee replacement specialist in WeHo to help me walk, after verifying my insurance and several calls back and forth over 3 days, I was just informed that "because of covid," Chris Pogson will not see me as a Medicare patient, but would take the identical covid risk of seeing me if I paid cash ~ $235 for an evaluation and $165/session after that. Or, I could see another "well-qualified" therapist in his office. I told the receptionist up front the reason my surgeon referred me specifically to Chris Pogson and that my surgeon would speak with him about it (very rare for this busy doctor). The difference here is cash. Truth is I'M at greater risk of exposure to covid by entering ANY facility than they are from me because I completely self-isolate (which they also knew 2 days ago). It's not about "covid precautions." Chris Pogson is about the money and that's his bottom line. If you are a Medicare patient, he will not see you even when you're specifically referred to him. Be warned. read more

Chris Pogson is a competent and skilled professional with years of PT experience who takes a no nonsense approach towards recovery. He helped my husband with a speedy recover from rotator cuff surgery and also helped me with my hip mobility. He provided manual therapy, therapeutic exercises that were targeted towards strengthening specific muscle to increase range of motion. His facility is sanitary, his staff is professional and his knowledge is unparalleled. read more

My knees have been in pain for around five years. I went in at the suggestion of my orthopedic surgeon, and now am pain free. They also taught me exercises and stretches to do after the program to keep my knees in great shape. Everyone that works there is very friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed. I would highly recommend Pogson for any physical therapy you may need. read more

This review is so long overdue! My husband was in a bad car accident and broke pretty much every bone in his legs and feet. He was unable to bend his knees or bear weight (stand) for over 3 months. He had to learn to walk again. We tried a few PT places initially, but Pogson was THE BEST and we felt it the moment we entered. Chris is brilliant and Alley, Kenny, Maty and E-Lo are incredible too. And we also love Cathy at the front desk! My husband hit major milestones within the first few sessions - moved from walker to cane, got out of his boots and into tennis shoes, started practicing going up and down steps. I know this review just won't do them justice but you will not find a more talented, caring team. Alley has developed the most incredible, specialized programs for my husband and the amount of progress he has made is truly unbelievable. He still has a ways to go and more surgeries in his future, but we are most certain his progress is all do to the vested interest of this magnificent team. We are moving too far away to continue and unfortunately have to say goodbye. And we both had the revelation that it's not leaving the beach that is so difficult for us, it's leaving Pogson PT. read more

I'm a relatively complicated orthopedic case as I've had several complications of an ACL reconstruction when I was 16. After several disappointing encounters with UCLA physical therapy, I finally requested a referral for a good physical therapist from my orthopedic surgeon. I am quite pleased with the results so far. I willingly pay out of pocket because, when my sessions are over with Pogson, I know I was worked hard, and that my leg is finally getting stronger and more functional (after years of frustration). He tailors your therapy to suit your needs and limitations without sacrificing the utility of the therapy. read more

Chris and staff take the time to really build a program around what ails you. I have been going to them at the recommendation of a co-worker and I can honestly say that he has made me a believer. If you "hate" exercise and feel there is not enough time to do it. Go See Chris. read more

I picked Pogson Physical Therapy out of a variety of options presented by my Dr. based on the solid ratings here and so wanted to return and report back after seeing him for about a month. The other reviews did not steer me wrong-- he's a good doctor and I'm seeing much quicker improvement than I expected/hoped. The course of therapy is not yet complete, but unlike my last physical therapist, he's actually helping a lot and I feel confident I'm going to make a complete recovery. I should also note that he has an excellent staff of assistants who really know what they are doing and make the exercise portion of the treatment more of a joy than a chore. :) read more

Pogson PT is top notch. I have been to many places, over the years, for various injuries. Pogson stands out for many reasons. First, your physical therapist will focus on you, not multiple patients at the same time. A physical therapy assistant will also help with exercises. The entire team makes sure you are doing it right. Another plus is that all the equipment is there. You don't have to go to another gym to get that important part of the treatment, unless you do more on your own. It is also very clean. They are continually wiping down tables and equipment after use. Most importantly they do a good job. Kenny has helped me with a knee and an ankle problem so that I can now get back to walking. It is obvious everyone loves what they do and it makes for a very healthy and pleasant experience. read more

Pogson PT has really helped improve my strength, flexibility, and overall pain management following two torn ACL's and two torn labrums. Specifically, Kenny has been great. Very knowledgeable, wise, and friendly. I would refer him to any and all of my friends. I've been to a number a Physical Therapists for my knees and hips but Pgoson PT beat them all with the quality of service and treatment. read more

I've been coming to Pogson Therapy for several months after rotator cuff surgery and I am very impressed with my progress and quality of care provided. Not only do i feel like i'm back to 100%, but i can sleep on my shoulder without any pain. Chris and his team are A+ and the facilities and equipment are clean. I highly recommend Pogson Physical Therapy. read more

Chris is a magic worker. I started from not being able to move my arm (after shoulder surgery) to my arm being stronger than before (after Pogson). If you want a very effective therapist in a very welcome environment, I highly recommending this place. read more

When your back hurts in two places, and your ankle starts popping, and then there's that weird pain under your right rib, and one knee doesn't bend as much as the other, you start to think that you're getting OLD. But if you're me, then you rememeber that you haven't really gotten old yet. It's just the 10+ years of gymnastics pounding that's coming back to haunt me. Rathar than just relying on Alleve to mask the pain, I decided to do something about it and called physical therapist extrodinaire, Chris Pogson. Chris is great at treating athletes/former athletes. He listens really carefully and is very meticulous, thoughtful, and strategic about the therapy he recommends. He understood that just because I can do the splits doesn't mean that my back should be fine because I'm flexible enough. He's had a significant impact on helping me manage my back pain with a focus on giving me exercises that I can do on my own and at home. It's a good thing when I don't have to go in and see Chris regularly but if I do, I know that he'll do his best to fix me. read more

I've been seeing Joyce at Pogson Phys Ther for at least 10 visits and I can't say enough about her. She's re-teaching me how to breath, walk, move my body after a lifetime of playing violin professionally and gradually getting stiffer and sorer. I feel great and without getting into detail, I appreciate Joyce's perspective on therapy, which very holistic. read more

Chris Pogson is a master of his craft. You can't ask for a more qualified practitioner. Highly recommended.
