Dr. Cheung has been the most pleasant experience I could ask for. With an upbeat attitude and incredible knowledge, his office runs smoothly and efficiently. There's plenty of reserved parking for his patients alone in the back of the building. His staff is lovely and will work with you and your availability. They are very accommodating and understanding. Big plus is that they are also open weekends. I feel like a new woman every time I walk out of there. I had all over back pain, and with the variety of treatments they offer, my pain subsided substantially. I choose Dr. Cheung every single time. He's a cut above the rest and a gem in the Pasadena community.

On the roller my favorite machine.

Hands down, Richard is one of the best chiropractors around! I was in a bad accident, and he has been taking excellent care of me. I couldn't ask for better service. From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, you're treated like a friend. Every visit feels warm and welcoming. This is by far the best treatment I've ever received for an injury. You can't go wrong with this amazing team!

Unfortunately I was only able to attend one session due to other financial constraints/medical…read moreissues. However, after only one session I've had only one tension headache (probably my fault for sleeping on my side). I have been in and out of physical therapy for three years for a shoulder impingement/tension headaches. For three years I could not get relief. After ONE SESSION with Dr. Maddie, I felt better than I had in YEARS! I have continued to do the prescribed exercises, and I am only getting better. I was living in debilitating pain that caused me to miss out on work and life in general. Now I'm happier, my body is more relaxed, and my quality of life has improved. It took Dr. Maddie one session to fix what others had tried to fix for years. I will tell you it's because Dr. Maddie and Carolynn (the kind woman who takes care of the front desk and I'm sure much more) listened to me and made my treatment work for me. I'm so grateful for these two people. What a wonderful place!!!

I had been in ankle pain for more than a year....but I did what so many of us do, I put it off, I pushed through. I climbed Mt. Whitney (after climbing all the highest peaks in Southern California) and pushed through it until I couldn't push through it anymore. Running (one of my favorite forms of exercise) was now off the table. I needed help. I sat down with a list of Physical Therapists and started calling and when I spoke to Carolyn - she listened - she asked questions and she genuinely seemed to care. After listening to me she knew I had to get in to see Dr. Maddie and she made it happen. I booked an appointment and then received my welcome packet. It was thorough and helpful and I knew what to expect before I walked into my first appointment. Maddie listened and committed to making a plan to get me back to all of my favorite activities and then she dug in and she worked hard for me and felt invested in my recovery. I can not overstate the value of the 1:1 experience. When you're working with Dr. Maddie you have her full attention and your therapy is tailored to your needs. She answers questions and keeps you informed so that you can be partners in your recovery. She uses an app to provide your home exercise routine and she adapts as needed. I was also pleasantly surprised when I was sent home with the things I needed to do my home exercises, at no extra charge! The attention to detail from Elevated Physical Therapy is unparalleled as is the level of care you'll receive from the whole team. My experience then led my husband to working with Dr. Maddie too. I've been able to return to hiking, playing tennis and running without pain! And I know Elevated PT will be there for me if I need anything in the future.

This review is a little long, but I hope you'll take the time to read it…read more Last May, I welcomed my first child. Since it was my first time being a father, I didn't really know the proper way to hold a baby, and over time I ended up straining my left wrist. For a while, it was quite painful. It wasn't a sharp or severe pain, but more of a constant dull ache. My wrist would also make clicking or popping sounds whenever I rotated it. I asked several friends who have children, and they all told me that it was probably caused by the way I was holding my baby. They also told me that this type of injury could be difficult to reverse and that I might eventually need a steroid injection. Since I heard pretty much the same thing from several different people, I started to believe that I would just have to live with it. I was even more skeptical because I already had a similar problem with my right wrist. I injured it years ago while playing basketball, and even today, I still occasionally experience a dull ache. I've seen many doctors about it over the years, and I was always told that there wasn't really a way to completely fix it. Because of that experience, I had basically accepted that I would probably need to wear a wrist brace and simply try to prevent my left wrist from getting worse. One day, I mentioned the problem to my wife. She suggested that I try shockwave therapy and EMTT, and she made an appointment for me with Daphne. I went into the treatment somewhat skeptical. After all, I had been dealing with my right wrist problem for years, so I wasn't expecting too much. Daphne turned out to be a wonderful therapist. Before starting, she took the time to explain how the treatment worked and the principles behind it. I won't go into all the technical details here, but after her explanation, I decided to give it a try. The treatment lasted about a month. To be honest, immediately after that month of treatment, I didn't notice a dramatic difference. There was some improvement, but it definitely didn't feel like the problem had been completely resolved. At the time, I was a little disappointed, and I brought up my concerns with Daphne. She was very patient and explained that the results wouldn't necessarily be immediate. She told me that it could take around six weeks after completing the treatment before I would really start noticing a significant change. And she was right. Over the following month and a half, the pain in my wrist gradually disappeared. Today, I still carry my son every single day. He now weighs about 26 pounds, and after adjusting the way I hold him, my wrist no longer hurts. The pain has not returned either. I've been pretty busy lately, so I'm planning to wait until things settle down a little before going back to have my right wrist treated as well. Thank you, Daphne, for your patience, professionalism, and help. I was skeptical when I started, but I'm genuinely grateful that I gave the treatment a chance.

This review is sooooo overdue but here it is finally! It's also insanely long so the TLDR version…read moreis this: if you've been dealing with regular pain for a long time, and are ready to put in the work to finally get to the bottom of what's going on, put your trust in LPI! I've worked with both Ben and Bryant since 2021 back when they were still running their clinic out of a little room at Reason fitness; and I went from waking up every day with some amount of neck/shoulder pain to feeling the strongest I've ever been in my life and 90-95% of my days with no pain. I wouldn't be where I am today without LPI and their help and guidance so I really can't thank them enough Working with Ben: So what eventually brought me to LPI in 2021 was that I'd been having increasing bad bouts of pain where I would get like a crick in the neck so bad it locked up my entire upper back and I'd only have about 25-50% range of motion of my neck in any direction without pain. I suspect many of my symptoms were built up overtime due to a bad ergonomic work setup and stress. From day 1, Ben was super attentive and eager to help. Most of what he talked about was new to me but he always took the time to explain things and answer any question I had. During my time with Ben, I gained so much understanding about how connected every part of your body is with each other, and how much modern life has made our body adapt in ways that aren't the best for longevity(!!) We worked a lot on how to create a stable trunk through proper breathing mechanics in the beginning and then later strengthening the muscles in my shoulder area to better support and stabilize the shoulder; and so much more! What I can tell you now is that I'm not waking up every day in pain, I don't have pain going down my arm anymore, my neck and jaw are so much less tight, and even if I do have days when that crick comes back, it's much less severe and resolves a lot quicker than before. One thing with chronic pain I didn't realize before was how much you lose hope that it will ever get better. So it kind of surprised me that having someone who cares so deeply about getting you better would help, but Ben's hope gave me hope, and in time the results spoke for itself. The body isn't as weak or fragile as you might think, it's actually super resilient and adaptable. There's a solution to pain that doesn't involve bandaging the pain but rather retraining your body to do what it was meant to do so you can live the life you want to live. This isn't something I believed before but now I'm living it! And Ben has the skills to help get you there. Don't get me wrong, it is HARD work on your part, and while you're in it, it might not feel like you're getting better for awhile, but be kind and patient with yourself in those first several sessions! Working with Bryant: Eventually I hit a point where I needed less PT specific guidance (I also just really sucked at keeping up with my PT exercises at home), so Ben suggested I transition to working with Bryant on a regular strength and conditioning program, which is now what I've been doing for the past 3 years. I started off hating exercise and never having done strength training, to hating exercise slightly less (lol), hitting PRs, feeling less tired in my body all the time, being more confident in the strength I have (especially when needing to lift heavy things!), and of course being in SO much less pain, most days no pain! If you work with Bryant, he'll help you come up with a program that fits your fitness goals, whatever that means for you. All you have to do is show up and do the work! Which is still a lot, but it really helps lower the barrier to exercise for me (someone figuring out the program and also coaching me through sets--I would not push myself as hard otherwise). I like that he can also make adjustments on the fly depending if I am having pain that day. I've also talked with him before about how I like/don't like to be pushed, and I appreciate that he understands how to coach me best through tough sets. I've definitely broken down multiple times during different sessions (whether with Ben or Bryant) because I was having a really bad day or just feeling hateful towards myself for not being able to do an exercise and both of them always held space for me with care and without judgment, and I am super thankful to them for that Mental health and physical health are absolutely tied to each other and they both recognize that. On a final note, I've now sent the rest of my family to them as well haha! My brother has been working with Bryant for about 2 years and has made his own huge fitness gains, and my mom has started seeing him for her pain too. And shout out to Wendy who's also been helping my mom!! It's great to see LPI continue to expand their space as they grow too. Anyway, wishing you all well out there with your own PT journeys, it's not an easy path, but the investment in your health is worth it!!!

I've been meaning to write this review for quite some time now, and shame on me for not doing it…read moresooner. I was the most miserable person-literally. I had just about every bad ache a human being could possibly have: lower back pain, neck pain, and numbness and tingling in my hands, feet, and legs. I couldn't get a good night's sleep because of the constant discomfort. I went to see practically every specialist my insurance offered, only to be told it was "normal" because I was getting older (I was only 45 at the peak of my pain!). I felt like a guinea pig going through spinal taps (which are super nasty if you've never had one), endless blood tests, and studies, but nothing worked. The only thing I hadn't tried was voodoo. LOL One day while scrolling, my algorithm started suggesting chiropractors and alternative treatments. That's when I found LPI. I felt like the guy in the video was talking directly to me and describing everything that was going wrong with my body. Without hesitating, I booked a free consultation. That turned out to be one of the most important decisions of my life. When I showed up for my appointment, Doctor Wendy greeted me. There are NOT enough positive things I can say about her. She isn't just super nice-you can tell she was born to do this. She's passionate, incredibly knowledgeable, and never rushes you out the door to get to the next appointment. She treats you like a real person, not just a slot on a schedule. Honestly, she's a miracle worker. When she asked what my goal was, I told her, and she promised to do everything she could to get me there-and she delivered! Thanks to her, I can now take long drives without my legs going numb, play with my kids, play golf, go on walks with my wife, and enjoy downtime together. These might sound like basic everyday activities to most people, but I couldn't do any of them before. To me, being able to do these things is priceless. If your story is anything like mine, don't hesitate to go. Wendy and the team at LPI will have you feeling like a million bucks. Doctor Wendy, you are the GOAT!
