I've been training at Raw Performance for the past 4 months, and honestly, it's one of the best places I could have found, especially being 6 months postpartum. The classes are incredible: super well structured, well demonstrated, and clearly instructed. I always feel supported, challenged, and motivated every time I go. The gym hours are also really flexible, which makes such a huge difference as a mom trying to fit training into a busy schedule. What I love most is that Raw Performance has helped me push past goals I honestly didn't think I could reach yet postpartum. I feel stronger, more confident, and truly cared for in my fitness journey. Also, if you're looking into physical therapy, Sophie is amazing. She has been helping my 6-month-old baby with crawling support and development, and I'm already so encouraged by the process. I can't wait to see even more progress. Highly recommend Raw Performance for both training and physical therapy ,such a great environment with people who really know what they're doing. read more

My wife and started going twice a week to the Hyrox class. It is a good balance of strength building and conditioning. The gym has a fun vibe, everyone greets and encourages each other. Definitely not a sterile "big box" gym. We have gotten much stronger and in better shape. I am happy to have lost 15 lbs already. Come check out this gem of a gym. read more

Dr. Sofi is truly one of a kind. From day one, she made me feel heard and supported. She takes her time--not just rushing through exercises, but really getting to know you, your body, and what you're going through. It's clear she genuinely cares about her patients and wants them to feel better, not just physically but mentally too. She's incredibly patient, never makes you feel like just another appointment, and she explains everything in a way that makes it all feel manageable. The exercises and homework she gives you are all so helpful! If you're looking for a physical therapist who's not only skilled but kind, attentive, and committed to helping you heal, I can't recommend Dr. Sofi enough. read more

Dr. Sofi and Armador you are amazing! Dr. Sofi worked with my daughter after her ACL reconstruction and got her back on the soccer field stronger than ever. Both Dr. Sofi and Armador have also supported my son in every aspect of physical therapy, strength, and conditioning. Their ongoing care has been essential throughout his taekwondo training and track season--he's a high-performing athlete, and they truly understand what that level demands. What sets them apart is that it's never a one-size-fits-all approach. They take the time to learn about you, your goals, and what works best for your body. Then they execute a personalized plan that gets results. Fast forward to 2025--after my own ACL rupture and an initial lack of proper PT, I'm now under Dr. Sofi's care. Her intuition, research-driven approach, and unwavering support are helping me navigate a complex recovery, including severe quad atrophy. She motivates and encourages me every step of the way. Dr. Sofi and Armador are the perfect team. I can't recommend them enough--they are knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely care about your progress. They are exactly who you want in your corner! read more

Dr. Sofi was recommended to me by a friend when my 17-year-old daughter tore her meniscus and ACL. We weren't getting the care and attention she needed--until we found Dr. Sofi. Her dedication and support are truly unmatched. Just this week, Dr. Sofi met my daughter on the field--outside of her office--to help her start practicing and implementing the drills she needs to continue her recovery journey. That kind of personal, one-on-one care is almost unheard of. She brings so much more than physical therapy. She sees her patients as people, and they feel genuinely supported and understood. I'm beyond grateful for what she's done for my daughter. Thank you for everything you do it means so much to me. read more

Dr Sofi is the best! Most knowledgeable and caring PT I ever worked with! It's been a year since she's been helping me and we did so much progress! She keeps me pain free and I have been able to hit new numbers, as a competitive athlete I could not recommend Sofi enough!! read more

Dr. Sofia is a blessing & a find just when I needed it! 3-4 weeks after hip surgery typical PT was failing me. She customized a recovery plan just for me, not a run of the mill program for anyone who's had hip replacement surgery, especially since I'm a little younger than the average patient. I always look forward to the improvement & she makes me feel hopeful that I can return to my normal activities. Highly recommend! As a bonus Buddy the greeter usually meets me at the office door! read more

Not an athlete but have lots of injuries. I'm getting stronger with the support fr Dr. Sofi and training in the gym with the trainers. My workouts are tailored to my limitations. The other clients there are friendly and supportive. Everyone is on their own journey. read more

I went to Dr Dr Sofi to deal with muscle weakness caused by medication. She was thoughtful and very specific in her exercise routine and her exercises helped me restore coordination and core strength. I felt that she listened to me and respected what I was going through. read more

Dr Sof has been such a secret weapon in my fitness endeavors. Her attention to detail is exceptional. She provides manual therapy, soft tissue and deep tissue work, to cupping and even blade scraping. It doesn't stop there. She will also craft a program for you to do when you're not in a session with her. To those uninformed, it is imperative to do your pre/rehab work outside of your sessions in order to speed up your recovery and get you back to 100. If you haven't seen her, what are you waiting for? read more

Dr Sofia is kind and a great physical therapist. I've had extensive spine surgeries... 3 of them to be exact. I've been to many physical therapist and Dr. Sofia is the first Dr to really listen to me and cater to my specific needs. I'm still in treatment with her and I'm feeling better. I plan to continue working with her and hopefully when I'm well enough she'll help me get back into shape as well. If you're looking for personal care I highly recommend you connect with Dr Sofia read more

I am 53 years old and started experiencing severe lower back pain to the point where I considered quitting golf, a game I love. I visited a physician who suggested fusing my lower back. At that point, a friend recommended that I see Dr. Sofi. I was initially hesitant because I had seen several physical therapists with minimal improvement. Dr. Sofi was a breath of fresh air. Not only was she a physical therapist, but she also had first-hand experience with injuries from her college water polo days. Her empathy and understanding were unparalleled. She listened intently to my concerns and was determined to guide me toward recovery. Her tailored stretches and daily routines were a game-changer for my injuries. Dr. Sofi also recommended that I start a completely different exercise routine than I was used to. That's when she introduced me to Coach Amador, who runs the group CrossFit program at Raw Performance. I was initially skeptical because I had tried other CrossFit gyms, but the exercises were complicated and far too advanced, making it hard to get a good workout. They also seemed very territorial and not inviting to new people. This gym was different. The exercises were quick to learn, and the 60-minute sessions were impactful. I have lost 17 pounds and now enjoy working out again! The people that attend the classes are very friendly and encouraging of one another. With Raw Performance's combination of Physical Therapy and Exercise, I'm 30 years old again when I'm golfing. I highly recommend a visit if you want to avoid surgery and get in the best shape of your life without spending 3 hours a day in the gym. Best of luck! CE read more

Raw Performance is the best PT in the great LA county and SGV area, bar none. Dr. Sofi is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and attentive. Whether you are an athlete or not, Raw Performance will address the issue. Furthermore, they will educate you throughout giving you a more efficient and effective body. read more

Dr. Sofi is incredibly knowledgeable and helped me get back to running & lifting pain free after dealing with back issues for a year. I would highly recommend her to anyone. You will not find many therapists like her that will be willing to dedicate this level of effort and attention to their patients and the results speak for themselves. read more

I started 9 months ago, and it has changed my life! I never worked out before. I've gone through a few injuries pushing myself and I've had to explain to the doctor and physical therapist, and I'm not going to stop working out. So, they're going to have to figure out a different remedy for me besides saying "take it easy". I've learned how to heal my injuries from Raw Performance, much better than the physical therapist that my doctor recommended. This is all from a physical standpoint, but the relationships I've made, I can't put a price on it. read more

Dr. Sofi is possibly the most empathetic and intuitive clinician I have ever met. Working in the healthcare industry, I see countless qualified practitioners every day, but meet very few that have Dr. Sofi's respect for the patient. In her care, I feel heard, respected, and advocated for. read more

I've been making tons of progress with my bum knee with Dr Sofi. I still have a long way to go, but I greatly appreciate her knowledge, skill, and dedication to helping her patients improve the quality of their lives. Although it is private pay, it is worth it and she doesn't try to get you to come in more than is needed and sends me home with exercises to do on my own through an app. By far the best experience with PT I've come across throughout 40+ years of sports injuries! read more

So thankful to have found Dr. Sofia Prorok after having a knee injury. Looking forward to learning how to take it slow while recovering, new rehab exercises and proper form as the year progresses. Very appreciative for your time and help! read more

I have been going to Dr. Sofi since 2020, and have had the best experience with her thus far. When you go to any other PT office, they typically have aides running the exercises and heat/cryotherapy and you only see the PT for 15 minutes. I know because I was that aide before! I digress, you get your moneys worth with Sofi! You only see her the entirety of the visit and she provides professional, quality, evidence based practice care. She's HEALED me from a crossfit-related injury and gave me the confidence I needed to get back into the gym. She also sends home exercises and stretches which is awesome. She's an athlete herself so she definitely knows what she's doing. Give her a try only if you want to be left feeling superhuman after she's done with you. read more

Such a great experience! There is no one like Dr. Sofi! I've taken my daughters to many different physical therapist throughout the years because all of them played competitive sports and went on to play in college. She is currently helping my youngest daughter recover from ACL reconstructive surgery & has helped her immensely! No doubt she will be ready to play in college! Highly recommend! read more

Of all the PTs I've seen across 12+ years of being active and having gone through multiple sports-related injuries, Dr. Sofi is by far the best. Her expertise is evident from the moment you meet her. She takes the time to listen and understand your unique situation, tailoring her approach to suit your specific goals. As an athlete herself, she brings a deeper level of empathy and insight into the challenges we face during recovery. read more

Raw Performance PT was amazing. My daughter suffered a serious shoulder injury and Dr. Arteaga was extremely attentive, knowledgeable, and invested in my daughter's recovery. Dr. Arteaga tailored her treatment plan specifically to her injury and sport. The exercises she gave her were challenging yet achievable as my daughter regained mobility and strength. Dr. Arteaga is hands-on and does not hand off her patients to assistants. Lastly, she also helped my daughter mentally... from an athletes perspective she understood what my daughter was going through and worked with her throughout the entire recovery process. read more

Dr. Sofi has been helping me recover from a back injury. After working with her, the fear of hurting myself again while working out has slowly gone away. I've had a great experience with her being my PT! read more

Dr Sofi is a healer! Saw her for some neck pain. Walked in with a headache and neck strain. I walked out feeling like a million bucks. Seen over a dozen physical therapists. Sofi is among the best I've seen. Great first impression. Professional. Clear. read more

Finished my second week and really love the class environment! I've never felt judged and each instructor took the time to make sure I was doing the exercises right and wouldn't accidentally get hurt read more

Dr. Sofi is one of the best in the area, she's very knowledgeable in what she does and has helped me recover from a bad knee injury. She has given me a program specific for my needs to help me increase mobility and strength. It's the attention to detail that she brings that really has made me come back time and time again. I absolutely recommend her to anyone. Thank you again sofi!!! read more

Dr. Sofi is amazing! I've been seeing her for about a year and no matter what issues I have, she will help me feel better. She understands that I enjoy working out and with that I need maintenance. Highly recommend if you have an injury or if you just need some care and encouragement. read more

Dr. Sofi is the best! This was the best place for me to land during my postpartum journey. After an unplanned c-section, I was feeling quite lost during the healing journey and unsure of how to get back to being physically active. During our first session, I felt seen, validated, she honored my story, and acknowledged my goals. She has helped me become more in tune with my body and she has a gift that has helped me make connections both mentally and physically to challenge my growth as an athlete and mother. Her expertise, genuine care, and her approach to tailor her treatment for her patients is truly amazing. I leave every session feeling hopeful, confident, and stronger. Thank you so much!!! read more

Dr. Sofi is literally the best. I started seeing her after a motorcycle wreck. As a former Army Ranger, getting back to training was extremely important to me. Dr. Sofi not only helped me get back to a normal training schedule, she helped me hit new PRs, correct imbalances, and improve my running. My only regret is thinking that you should only go to a PT after an injury. What to expect: after an initial evaluation, Sofi will test things like range of motion to find the root problem. You'll then either get a set of exercises, massage, cupping, that scrape tool thing, or stretches. She'll then re-test you to show you the improvement. Afterwards you'll either get an email with videos or an app that will show you what to do between then and your next visit. Example: I showed Sofi a video of a deadlift. I was stuck at a certain weight. She noticed my shoulder was rolling forward. After massaging, cupping, and stretching, we retried the lift and it moved a lot easier. After a couple weeks of following her advice, I hit a new pr. Do yourself a favor and book a visit already. read more

Dr. Prorok has been rebuilding my arm for about 4 weeks and I see more improvement with my rotation every week. I truly thought I was doomed and might need surgery after an injury. She has given me confidence that I will definitely be feeling back to normal sooner than later. If you read this, thank you so much for all of your help, Dr. Prorok! read more

What a wonderful experience! Dr. Sofi figured out what happened to my back within 15 minutes of walking into her clinic. My back has been hurting for four weeks since I hurt myself from deadlifts. I couldn't sleep right, couldn't walk right. Dr. Sofi pinpointed the exact spot that was sprained, and we are now working together toward rehab. Thank you, Dr. Sofi! read more

It's been steady improvement to my balance and stability since I last posted the review of RP/PT and Dr. Sofi. Certainly more endurance and confidence in walking Elysian Park trails and in general. read more

I've always took my health important but with training and lifting heavy I noticed physically I wasn't listening to my Performance and worked through the pain, not knowing how important it is to also relieve some of the tension in my joints and Shoulder pain, especially my back. Working with Dr. Sofi has changed my perspective because the last thing I want is to injure myself to point where I can't workout. Every session I had has been remarkable. She listens and pin points exactly the cause of the tension. It's by far the best experience I had with any physical therapist. I highly recommend Dr. Sofi and will continue to work with her to improve my mobility and strength. Bree read more

Being an athlete herself, Sofi understands the value of movement in treating injuries. She really is a healer that will listen to your concerns and work to address the root cause. Cannot recommend her enough. read more

I am extremely pleased with Coach Amador and Dr. Sofi. Coach Amador coaches my 7 and 8 year old sons. He is patient and knows how to transition each workout effectively, he makes it fun! Another plus, my boys are exhausted but look forward to each class. Dr. Sofi is wonderful, I had my first examination with her and she asked what my concerns were. After my first treatment, I felt a huge relief . She also provided a band and videos to help with healing of an injury. I am excited and looking forward to my next sessions with Dr. Sofi. RP Athletics is a professional and effective team. read more

Coach Amador is unlike any other CrossFit coach I have ever had. He has helped me grow tremendously over the past few years. Other programs led me to months of plateaus and feeling over trained, but with RP athletics I still continue to hit new personal records and feel stronger and faster every month. Amador takes the time to answer my questions and give me constructive criticism so that I can truly reach my potential. It is clear through the way he conducts his business and cares of his athletes that he is truly passionate about helping others achieve their fitness goals. If you're looking for someone to help you get out of the Quarantine Slump, I 100% recommend Coach Amador. read more

Raw Performance Physical Therapy - Fitness & Instruction Near Me - San Dimas , California

I first sustained my foot injury running the hills in Echo Park back in May of this year. After seeing a few different Dr's that failed to help me figure out my injury I started seeing Dr. Sofi at Pharo's Athletic Club in Echo Park. She diagnosed my injury and put me on a program to build back strength in my foot and ankle so I could start working out again. Dr. Sofi was always very responsive and helpful throughout the whole process of my physical therapy. I will be recommending Dr. Sofi to anyone I know who's dealing with a sports-related injury because I know with her patience and dedication she will get them back to working out again. read more

Dr. Sofi has helped me become more in tune with my body over the last 3 years of working with her. When I started my olympic weightlifting journey in 2020, I had a lot of frustration around not having enough mobility to get into the positions I needed to be in to lift with proper technique. She helped me understand what my movement limitations were and why, and then gave me a stretching program that helped improve my overhead squat positioning within 1 month. Since then, she has continued to help me understand (and work through) the aches, pains, and roadblocks that my body runs into during my normal day-to-day weightlifting programming. I have referred countless friends to her over the years, and she has helped every single one of them heal from injuries and reach their movement goals. If you have ever wondered why you can't squat that deep or feel like you'll never be able to run again after that ACL surgery, make an appointment to see Dr Sofi today. You won't regret it! read more

Called the business yesterday, left message and no return phone call. Called again today during business hours, no answer again. Sent message through yelp, no reply. Called again today, finally picked up by the owner I guess, and without greeting with professional business practice, sounded being bothered....then told me that only accepting cash, no insurance at all. This is ridiculous practice and it's the first time I ever heard a doctor's office only accept cash. If all the doctors like her, nobody can afford to see a doctor. So why doctor office only accept cash? This is not normal. read more

Sofi was able to help recover my right knee very quickly! I had a couple of strains, and my knee would swell and lock up on simple walks. After a few visits to her and doing recommended home exercises, I am able to hike and ride bikes again. Raw Performance is great!! read more
