Dr. Josh is the absolute BEST if you need any kind of physical therapy! I don't say that lightly--he truly worked a miracle on our daughter's shoulder, and we feel incredibly blessed to have found him. His demeanor, KNOWLEDGE, approach, and genuine empathy are unmatched. He is worth every dollar we spent and every mile we drove to see him. We traveled from Orange County to Arcadia every week at first, and eventually every month, because we knew she was in the right hands. We need more physical therapists like Dr. Josh--professionals who truly LISTEN, take the time to understand the individual person and their injury, and then create a recovery plan specifically for them rather than taking a generalized approach. We came to Dr. Josh after our daughter had been receiving physical therapy elsewhere for a labrum tear in her shoulder. While her previous PT helped somewhat, she continued to experience flare-ups. It felt like we were taking one step forward and two steps back, and we knew we needed to try something different. Then came Coach Sean from Aquatic Sports Performance, who frequently highlighted Dr. Josh in his Instagram videos while working with some of the best swimmers in the world--many of whom were dealing with injuries far more severe than my daughter's. I thought, If Dr. Josh can help rehab these pro/elite swimmers, I feel confident he can help my daughter. From our very first consultation, I knew we had found someone different. Dr. Josh asked question after question because he genuinely wanted to understand every detail of my daughter's injury, her history, what she had been experiencing, and how we had gotten to the point of seeking him out. He explained his approach, what needed to happen to get her shoulder pain under control, and how he would ultimately help her regain her mobility. One year and a few months later, my daughter can finally say she is PAIN FREE! We truly believe that is because of Dr. Josh's knowledge, expertise, caring nature, and individualized approach. He performed countless assessments, checked in with her weekly, texted with us, and had long and sometimes difficult conversations with her about her future in swimming and water polo. But he also celebrated her victories right alongside her. There were a LOT of tears and heartache along the way. Even after she was pain-free and had regained her mobility, she struggled month after month with the disappointment of not making her cuts in swimming. Through all of it, Dr. Josh was there. He helped pick up the pieces, encouraged her when she was devastated, and reminded her to keep pushing forward. And then came May 2026--her FIRST sectional cut! Then June brought TWO MORE! I will never forget telling Dr. Josh the news. He was just as excited as we were, texting us and then celebrating with a huge smile and a, "LET'S GOOOO!" when we saw him. That moment meant so much because he had been there through the entire journey--not just the physical recovery, but the emotional one too. We are forever grateful to Dr. Josh. He is truly one of a kind. Whenever someone asks us for a physical therapy recommendation, our answer has been--and always will be: "GO SEE DR. JOSH AT REASON PHYSIO! HE IS WORTH IT!" read more

I went to Dr. Beth Chan at Reason Physio with severe tennis elbow in my right arm. The pain was so intense that I couldn't even open doors or hold anything--everyday tasks felt impossible. I honestly just wanted to be able to use my arm again without constant pain. From the very beginning, Dr. Chan was professional, thorough, and incredibly honest. She gave me a fair warning that it could take 3-5 months to see results, which at first felt discouraging--but I appreciated her transparency. She carefully assessed my condition, explained exactly what was happening, and laid out a treatment plan that was realistic and tailored to me. It's been about 4 months now, and I am completely pain-free! I was initially skeptical--what could physical therapy really do when the pain was this severe? But the results speak for themselves. My arm is fully functional again, and I've been able to get back to activities I love, including pickleball and other racquet sports. Dr. Chan's approach is thoughtful, personalized, and effective. She listens, understands, and genuinely cares about her patients' progress. I can't recommend her enough to anyone struggling with pain or injury. If you're looking for a physical therapist who delivers real results and restores your confidence in your body, Dr. Beth Chan is the one to see read more

It's funny how as you get older, the body becomes more prone to soreness - and what used to be a quick bounce back now takes actual time in order to recover. I'm relatively new to CrossFit, but enjoyed the fast paced workouts, the push of wanting to become stronger and faster, and the amazing people I've met from the gym. Unfortunately with the excitement, I ended up hurting my lower back pretty badly where the pain was so intense that I couldn't be seated comfortably for long periods of time nor could I get in and out of a car/get out of bed without excruciating pain. I wasn't sure what to do - the pain was so bad and affecting my work and overall mental health. That's where Reason Physio came in. Both Dr. Beth and Dr. Josh are certified and licensed physical therapists who specialize in providing PT in order to solve the pain and allow the individual to be able to pursue his/her version of a healthy lifestyle. I worked with Dr. Beth on finding out the location of my injury, what movements aggravated it, and how I could strengthen the muscles/body parts surrounding it to eventually heal the pain. I was given exercises and homework to complete on my own, which honestly helped a ton. I worked with Dr. Beth for about once a month until the injury disappeared. I was able to do those movements again, but now I had more knowledge of what I needed to do to prevent future injury. I was able to graduate from PT until I had another injury where I ended up reaching out to Dr. Beth again. I'm now injury free (and hopefully will stay that way) but wanted to reiterate how amazing it is to work with someone who not only understands why I am having pain, but also how I can overcome the pain and get back to what I physically want to do. If you're ever feeling pain and not sure what to do or where to go, definitely reach out to Reason Physio! Incredibly thankful for this team and their outstanding service for the community. read more

We found Dr. Josh after my son struggled with shoulder pain from competitive swimming. We had tried other chiropractors and physical therapists, but the results were always temporary. As a swimmer himself, Dr. Josh truly understands the physical and mental demands of the sport, which built instant trust with my son. Instead of just treating the symptoms, Dr. Josh worked on the root causes through strength and mobility training. Since the initial assessment, they have worked on strength, mobility, and created a plan focused on long term prevention. My son has now been pain-free for over eight months. We gladly drive over 40 miles each way to see him, and it is worth every mile. Highly recommend for any athlete! read more

Dr. Josh has been taking care of my various nagging injuries (hip, knee, shoulders). His knowledge and willingness to find the root cause of the issue has been very helpful in making sure that I am in good shape to reach my fitness goals. To this day, I implement many of his pre-hab exercises as part of my warm-up and cooldown routine after training. read more

I highly recommend you check out Reason Physio for any of your needs. Everyone there is super friendly and welcoming! Dr. Josh helped me out with some neck and rib pain from two different injuries and he was able to pin point the areas right away to work on. Not just a great session, but he also left me with multiple work outs and stretches I could work on to improve mobility and relieve the pain I was having. You can't go wrong with these guys! Great service from great people! read more

This review is long overdue. Josh has worked on me before with my low back, and more recently with an injury to my right arm. One thing I appreciate about Josh is that he never rushes treatment. He takes the time to dive deep into both the current issue and the past events that contributed to the injury. His approach to observation, testing, and re-testing is extremely thorough. While some might find this process slow if they're unfamiliar with physical therapy, it's actually a huge advantage. A physical therapist doesn't have X-ray or MRI vision to instantly see what's wrong. Too often--myself included--patients expect PTs to have a "magic touch" and fix everything immediately. But injuries that build up over months aren't going to resolve overnight. Josh is mindful, methodical, and committed to getting it right. He tests and retests until he identifies exactly what's causing the problem. Instead of guessing, he collects real data to make a precise assessment--something I think is hugely overlooked in the PT world. Another thing that sets Josh apart: as a former collegiate athlete, he understands firsthand the frustration of being sidelined by injury. He's relatable because he's been through it himself and knows what it takes to come out the other side. Bottom line: finding the right physical therapist isn't just about knowledge--it's about trust, experience, and relatability. You'll find all three with Josh and the team at Reason Physio. Highly recommend. read more

5 Stars! Dr. Beth is a Game-Changer for Fitness Goals If you're looking for a trainer who combines brains, heart, and sheer athletic prowess, look no further than Dr. Beth (aka Coach Beth)! With her Doctorate in Physical Therapy, she doesn't just train--she transforms! From tweaking form to preventing tweaks, she's always one step ahead, making every session feel like a custom blueprint for success. I've watched this phenomenal athlete in action on the pickleball court, where she turns into an absolute beast--dominating with skill, power, and a killer smile! Thanks to Dr. Beth's guidance, I've unlocked a newfound confidence in my body's pickleball prowess--holding my own (and then some!) against competitors who are, on average, half my age at 60. It's not just playing; it's thriving on the court like never before! What truly sets her apart? Her warmth and humility.

I've had many issues over the years from performing activities as crossfit, martial arts and recreational sports. Visiting the office inside of Reason Fitness, I did not know what to expect at all. I specifically asked Dr. Bethany to look at my shoulders because it didn't seem to be that my mobility and range of motion were in optimal positions. I had issues trying to get my arms straight up in the air to the point where my bicep couldn't touch my ear. I also had issues in that I would arch my back to compensate to get my arms up. Thanks to her, I learned that physical therapy works. It's not just for injuries or injury prevention. It can improve balance, strength, fitness and especially the quality of life. She gave me a list of exercises that I needed to do multiple times a week in order to correct those issues. I learned that muscles are connected and can improve the overall experience when it receives proper attention. After a few sessions, Dr. Bethany instilled confidence in me and I've noticed that I can perform controlled movements with better quality and not have to think in the back of my mind about overcompensating my back and other areas of the body. The attention to detail that she provided is top notch and it has improved my day to day life. read more

I would absolutely recommend Reason Physio, especially Dr. Bethany Chan to anyone I know! I was skeptical at first, but having injured both my calves and knees within months of playing pickleball, I became desperate and really did not want to be surprised by another injury. The journey with Dr. Chan was encouraging and the initial sessions along with the assigned exercises were tough, but for good reason! Dr. Chan would observe and know if she needed to lighten or even increase my exercises. Literally just after 6 sessions, I was ready to get back on the courts confidently. Even my fellow pickleballers were impressed and stated that I was actually moving better on the court than before my injuries! I've been injury and pain free since April 2024! Dr. Chan has such positive and motivational vibes and not to mention, she is an excellent pickleball player and most importantly, awesome sportsmanship! read more
