This is physical therapy unlike anything I have ever experienced. Steve and Lindsay provide unparalleled knowledge and accomplished huge physical improvements in a frighteningly quick time. In under 3-4 sessions, I had recovered from a shoulder injury and developed routines to strengthen my shoulders, hips, knees, and core strength. They look at a problem as a part of a system, and correct not just the injured area but the system as a whole. I have never felt stronger or safer going into any workout since learning from them. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to live an active life for their entire life. read more

I started crossfit a year and a half ago and even though I have been getting stronger every month, my squat mobility was very limited! (feet to hip width was not close to ideal, toes out, not full depth, etc) Steve immediately detected the problem and attacked it. He assessed my issue in one session by having me do a bunch of movements and gave me tons of homework to perform on a daily basis. After five one-on-one sessions and persistence, I am happy to report that I am seeing the gains not only in my lifts but in the way I feel, walk and eve run. I cannot recommend Steve, Lindsay and Prehab 2 Perform enough and I only wish I could have come to see them earlier!!!. Mega Recommended, you won't regret it! read more

I tore my ACL and had surgery in May 2016 in Jacksonville, FL. My physical therapist said a former colleague had moved to Venice and opened up a PT place. I looked up Steve and reached out. He got back to me asap. His pricing is very fair! He gives you his 100%+ attention and is super knowledgeable. He switches up the exercises so you're never bored. He knows how to comfortably push you to your limit. I've been seeing Steve for the past 6 months and I feel the best I've ever felt. I didn't work out much before my accident but he's helped me create a regimen. He's a great therapist and always available whenever one may have questions! If your schedule, is crazy, he goes above and beyond to squeeze you in even if he has to wake up earlier or stay later. I've seen lots of therapist for various injuries but I've never had a therapist like Steve! My grandmother is 86 and has bad shoulders. She has had several surgeries and came to visit me in LA this past summer from Alabama. I booked her a stretching session with Lindsay while I had PT with Steve. My grandmother's range of motion after the session was instantly noticeable! She made such progress from one session. My grandmother wished Lindsay had a clone in Alabama! These two are great at what they do but also just all round awesome people who care about your well-being. read more

There is so much goodness to say about Prehab 2 Perform. Steve & Lindsay are phenomenal practitioners. They have a wealth of information as well as experience and know how to work "magic." Steve, a physical therapist, and Lindsay, an occupational therapist, are a dynamic couple who have not only helped me reach my mobility goals and helped optimize my performance in workouts but Steve has helped rehabilitate my knee after years of being in pain. I am so grateful to this super couple and am so happy I found them. You will not go wrong working with Prehab2Perform ! read more

I chose this place because I wanted PT from athletes so that I can get back to working out quickly. I wasn't let down. I've now been here for multiple injuries. Great instruction and guidance, and I love they gifs and guides they send to me so that I can do more at home. read more

I can't thank Steve enough for everything he's done to help me improve my strength and mobility. I strongly recommend you come see him if you have any aches or pains. He is a wealth of knowledge and a great physical therapist. read more

I had a yoga injury 4 years ago that took me out of weight training and nearly all exercise for quite a while. Steve helped tremendously with his super efficient and effective mobility exercises. No matter where you're at in your fitness, I feel everyone needs to spend some time with Steve to make sure they are moving correctly and fixing imbalances so you can minimize injury. Can't think of a better person to work with. Thanks again Steve. read more

Amazing! Our experience with Steve has been far superior than any other attempts we have made at Physical Therapy. My son who has suffered from multiple injuries beginning with a dislocated shoulder, several injured rotator cuffs, a stage 4 MCL strain, ankle sprains, and now an ACL strain has found his strength growing each week. Steve works beyond the injury to take care of all the muscle groups and to strengthen the body as one. My 100% recommendation. read more

Steve is one of the best physical therapists that I have encountered. He is professional, available, and compassionate. I have consulted with him on lots of occasions when I injured myself doing one thing or another. Not only did he quickly and accurately diagnose the problem, but he developed a plan to help me feel better and get stronger in the injured area so it wouldn't happen again. As someone in the health care field, I cannot more strongly recommend Steve for any of your physical therapy needs. read more

I broke my right meniscus a year ago and saw Steve the very next day. I was surprised when he had me move and rehab right away, but within weeks I was able to function and a year later I squat more than I did before my accident. I broke my left meniscus three months ago while traveling and applied the same principles he had taught me right away: move, ice, massage. I'm now back on track and feeling stronger than before. He taught me that exercising with proper form is the key to recovery and prevention. We're now working on targeting my weaknesses and strengthening my muscles and joints. He's a great athlete, constantly trains and improves himself, and I love that in a PT. Curiosity, openness and the fact that he practices what he preaches. Highly recommend. read more

I thought I seriously injured my hip flexor. I was in a tremendous amount of discomfort. Driving was difficult and the idea of exercising was out of the question. I saw Dr. Steve Sudell and he was able not only identity the issue as extreme tightness in my hips and hamstrings but also gave me a full regimen of stretches and exercises to address the issue. I was back in the gym again the next week. The advantage of Prehab 2 Perform is that I was able to see a qualified professional who is familiar with athletes and the common issues associated with strength training. The normal route of seeing a general physician who would than recommend me to an orthopedic doctor, would then recommend me to a physical therapist was avoided by going directly to the source. I saved weeks of doctors visits, fees and unnecessary tests. I was back in the gym armed with the knowledge to alleviate my discomfort and ultimately eliminate the issues causing it. I would highly recommend seeing Steve with any injury or issue that is hampering your physical pursuits. He will save you time and get you on the road to correcting the issue. read more

I have terrible knee issues, and my first session was great! I signed up for two more. I didn't know the first session would involve a Graston therapy, and that helped tremendously with releasing tension around my knee and hips. I absolutely recommend this place for effective muscle therapy. read more

I have always been struggling with my mobility and without any change or success in recent years. When I came to LA and Paradiso Crossfit so I was told about Steve and his knowledge. I met Steve for the first time four weeks ago that I wanted help with my mobility. He noted that I really need to improve my mobility and above all, it was my glutes, hips and hamstrings really tight. Even my upper body was really stiff. He gave me exercises that I would focus on, and that I have done before training every day. Today, four weeks later, we met again for the last time before I go back to Sweden, and results were actually surprising to me. So very great improvement !! Steve's knowledge is immense and he is amazing at what he does. He is meticulous and knows what he's talking about. I have never met such a good physical therapist! I'm so glad that I came in contact with him and that he helped me! //Petra read more

I'm surprised there aren't more reviews! I have seen Steve at least 10 times over the past few years for various injuries. He's extremely knowledgeable and cares about all his patients, even when you are healthy and he sees you in passing. His rates are very fair and affordable. Whenever something's bothering me this is always my first stop. If you have something bothering you I highly recommend you check him out. read more

I've been doing CrossFit for 10 months now and it has made such a positive difference in my life. I've been conscientious of my alignment, posture, and form since Day 1 as I know how important it is to execute all movements efficiently and safely. Even though I pride myself on being really mindful of my movements in class I know that I can always learn more seeing as classes can be intense and go by quickly. That's when I decided to take Steve's 6-week Prehab 2 Perform class, co-taught by his wife, Lindsay. I have learned so many new exercises and stretches that I now use to prepare my body for all different types of lifting. I was humbled to learn that my shoulders and calves are not as flexible as I originally thought, however, with Steve and Lindsay's help I now have the tools to improve my mobility in those two areas as well as many others. I feel much more confident executing lifts in class and my overall performance continues to improve. I would highly recommend Prehab 2 Perform. I'm very impressed with Steve and Lindsay's knowledge, experience, and teaching abilities. read more

Steve has saved me more times than I can count. When I have injured myself (which is more times than I care to admit) he was able to pinpoint the exact spot the pain was coming from and gave me a comprehensive plan to get me back to training. One of the biggest takeaways I've gotten from Steve, though, is how to maintain my body so I can avoid future injuries. Every time I step foot in the gym now I make sure to properly mobilize which has kept me from the injured list ever since. read more

Jess is absolutely amazing! It was the first time I had Graston and cupping done and Jess was a real professional who made me feel very comfortable as she listened carefully to all the areas which were bothering me. She treated every spot with the utmost attention and the cupping and Graston actually felt kind of good. I left the session feeling better than I had in a very long time. I saw Steve for my second appointment and he's amazing as well. Attentive to detail, professional, knowledgable and super friendly! Steve also provided movement exercises to treat my pain long term. Everyone at the office is terrific and I've been going weekly for a month now. My pain has subsided greatly and I'm hooked for life. read more

Amazing results after one session with Steve! I have been dealing with a knee injury, which kept me from reaching full depth in my squats and generally led to poor squat form. In my session with Steve, he took me through a series of exercises and stretches designed to improve the areas where I was tight and where I needed to build strength. The next day I dropped into a crossfit gym and did a wod with front squats. I prehabbed with the exercises and stretches Steve gave me and focused on the tips he gave me while squatting. I noticed a drastic improvement in my form and how I felt in my squat. Full depth and no knee pain! I'm so excited to see how I improve after additional sessions. read more

So far so good! Already seeing improvement in my plantar fasciitis and I am only in the 3rd week of PT... but not for anyone who just wants a delicate massage, only come here if you are willing to put the work in to make yourself heal. read more

My experience with Steve has been absolutely perfect. I have been doing my physical therapy at Prehab 2 Perform for the past 8 months following an ACL / Meniscus surgery and have been enjoying every single step of it. I visited a few physical therapy centers before opting for Prehab 2 Perform and definitely chose the right one. Steve listened and showed extreme care throughout the whole rehab process. Steve has an extensive knowledge about his profession and has helped me regain mobility and strength. My knee is back to normal thanks to his therapy sessions. Steve shows a lot of interest and care about his patients by constantly adapting his sessions and innovating with new drills & exercises. I have seen Steve over 40 times and I have never done the same session twice. Highly recommended!! read more

After a car accident left my back angry and unable to perform the most basic moves like standing upright, I was referred to Steve sudell for physical therapy to strengthen my core and get me back on track - exercising safely and efficiently. We worked together for 12 weeks, 3 times a week. Steve was always professional, sensitive to my physical limitations and highly creative with my workouts. Using my natural body weight we were able to achieve more progress than I had anticipated. Steve is a young, talented, driven physical therapist running a well established business at Paradiso CrossFit as well as stretch lab. Having worked at Shape Magazine, I have worked out with many trainers over the years and Steve falls into the category of highly trained, professional and present. There was never a time I felt he wasn't paying attention or that his mind was elsewhere. He welcomes new clients into the community seamlessly. If you're looking for an untraditional rehab where you are actively part of the process in the gym and on the move rather than a patient on a bed doing small movements, check out Steve sudell. read more

I have been working with Prehab 2 Perform for approximately eight months and couldn't be happier with the process or results. After dislocating my shoulder several years ago, I came to Steve with very limited mobility and weakness hindering my athletic performance. Steve was patient and knowledgable, listening to my many symptoms and thoroughly examining the area. While the physical therapy was challenging, Steve always double checked that I was okay and never pushed beyond my comfort level. After eight months of physical therapy and Graston, I have significant improvement in my mobility. Overall, Steve has been extremely professional and friendly, always giving me extra exercises and checking in on my progress. I highly recommend! read more

Having had back issues for over a decade, I have been through 4 surgeries, 14 cortisone shots and many many months of physical therapy over the years, as well as any other modality I thought would help. Having found Steve at Prehab 2 Perform was worth the long journey as I am seeing improvements I never thought possible. Steve's academic expertise coupled with his motivational demeanor is a winning combination for great mental and physical improvement. I can highly recommend Steve without any hesitation. read more

I Highly recommend Prehab 2 Perform, whether it's to help with a current injury or to prevent an injury from happening! I had a back and shoulder injury on two separate occasions so I went to see Steve. With having an active lifestyle and being a hairstylist I needed to heal as quickly as possible. Steve pinpointed the problem very quickly. He is very knowledgable and passionate about his work. Steve showed me stretches and gave me homework to do before and after working out and I was better in no time! read more

I injured myself running and developed tendonitis in in a tendon from my left knee to my foot (the anterior tibialis). Steve worked with me so the pain was gone and I could go back to training. Steve is great to work with, very knowledgable and fun to work with. read more

I was born with various debilitating abnormalities of my right foot, knees and back. I have a permanent limp, an unstable and deteriorating spine, and severe arthritis in both knees. I have been to literally dozens of physical therapists overs the years, I am PT's pin up girl! I was referred to Steve a few months ago and he is literally the first PT I have ever been to that did not make me feel like I was always going to be disadvantaged in some way. His knowledge, passion and imagination for coming up with different ways to tackle difficult problems is outstanding, and his devotion and drive to make real changes makes a huge difference to my progress. He makes me believe, guiding me in a great way to do more rather than less, without endangering my specific problems. I have seen results already. I recently had to undergo surgery for the instability in my spine and Steve is coming to the house to do specific physical therapy to get me back on my feet again and fitter than before. He is able to work with all ages and ranges of problems, from people who can barely move, to the super fit who want to just keep getting better. He is a great athlete himself, but he never makes me feel that, even with all my injuries, that I am any different than his athletic clients. I know I am going to be a pain free, much stronger, more flexible and more active person now I am working with Steve. I couldn't recommend him more highly. read more
