Faraz, Ani, and Daniel all did a wonderful job of helping me address some debilitating lower back pain while I was visiting LA during the holidays. I really appreciate the team's ability to fit me in during a busy time. They did a wonderful job of improving my mobility and pain before I needed to head back to the Bay. The facilities are super clean and modern and I was so impressed by the staff that I'm going to send my dad over for his PT as well! read more

Everyone who works there is pleasant and helpful. I am currently being treated for chronic muscle stiffness in my neck and lower back due to an unbalanced body structure from cancer surgery. Cristina focuses on manual therapies with her magical laser hands for soft tissue and applies ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and cold laser as she deems necessary. I'm very happy I found Studio Brava. Every time I come here, after treatment, I feel like a couple of weeks younger. I am going to recommend Studio Brava to my pain management doctor or to anyone looking for a physical therapy place. Try here; you will be super happy. read more

What I love about Studio Brava is that everyone is so professional and knowledgeable. They do not just give you a standard routine of physical therapy - they listen to your specific issues and concerns, and they tailor a program to you based on your individual needs - which I really appreciate. The studio is very clean and bright - it's a pleasant environment - and the quality of care and attention to care is top notch. Fantastic. read more

I am glad finally to find the best professional help. I'm highly recommend this place.amazing and professional staff carrying and knowledge Thank you Studio Bravo read more

Christina gives really good and helpful massages, but that's the only positive. The staff was late to take me every time I had an appointment, one time I was told they were late because they were taking a nap (!?) Twice in a row I was given a massage but no exercises to do, without being given a reason why. Overall, my main issues was that the staff was inattentive and disorganized. read more

I am anxious to speak out about the excellent experience and results with Christina's magical hand. Studio Brava is the best physical therapy group I have ever experienced. Due to my debilitating neck/shoulder to low back pain, I was left an old, old lady that I don't want to accept. After the first session with Christina, about 70% pain was gone. I waited, but it won't be at that point only till now. Now I am sure that Christina's magical manual hand with hands-on care manual therapies, applying ultrasound, cold laser, and electrical stimulation, worked amazingly. Significant difference in my recovery. I am anxious to wait till coming Monday's appointment with Christina. I highly, highly recommend Studio Brava to anyone in need of Physical therapy. read more

I broke my ankle and never broke anything nor have I ever been to PT. So SB was my first experience with PT and I can't say enough on how much better my ankle feels and how professional each person I encountered. The whole team truly works as a team so you feel you have the brain and heart of multiple professionals at the same time! The facility and vibe feels and looks like a 5 star luxury resort. Thank you Cristina and Studio Brava for speeding up my recovery!! read more

I found Studio Brava via my insurance company's website and was really impressed by the bios of Cristina, the owner/founder and lead PT, and the other staff. She is a former athlete who has also worked through her own injuries as well as helped many others across a wide range of age groups. The studio is as bright and airy as it appears online, and it's a warm and welcoming place to come to. It's not dry and clinical. Everyone who works there is pleasant and helpful. I am currently being treated for muscle stiffness in my low back and hip area, along with some inflammation in my wrist. Cristina focuses on manual therapies (i.e. soft tissue), and applies ultrasound, cold laser and electrical stimulation according to what she believes require stimulation. She has also spoken to me about the need for the right type of mattress and how I sleep at night so that I don't end up causing further pain. I see the Studio also offers other therapies like far infrared heat depending on the patient's specific needs, and their physical therapists work with patients on a range of exercises to help them rehabilitate using a variety of equipment. There are 2 other PT's on staff who I will be working with shortly, as well as a massage therapist. And I hear that they will be offering various group exercise classes there soon... So far my treatment is going very well, and I appreciate her care and her concern about how these areas are healing and progressing. read more

I highly Recommend Cristina and Ani. Thanks to the great treatment . I don't need to have surgery on my back and neck. They are professionals . I feel like a new person when iget the treatment!!! read more

Cured my neck and right shoulder pain in 4 sessions. I had a serious neck and right shoulder pain that lasted for more than a month. I tried stretching and exercising but did not see any improvement, so I tried Studio Brava PT. First impression, the office is clean, well-lit, and well-equipped with PT equipment. The owner and therapists are professional and friendly. I had 4 sessions with them, during which the therapist taught me exercises that saw great improvement immediately. My pain was gone after 4 weeks. read more

I highly recommend this place to any one in pain that needs physical therapy. Amazing and experienced staff. Super knowledgeable , Kind and caring. You will notice result after couple visits . Best physical therapy center ever. I cannot say enough good about them. Total satisfactory and totally free of back and knee pain. read more

After partially tearing my calf muscle, I was advised by my orthopedic that I would need physical therapy to recover. I found Studio Brava through my insurance and have been a happy patient for over the last 3 months. The entire staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly though I've worked mostly with George and Faraz, who are both amazing. George and Faraz have made a significant difference in my recovery through a combination of focused exercises and manual therapy. Throughout my sessions, I felt genuinely cared for and supported. I highly recommend Studio Brava to anyone in need of physical therapy. read more

Cristina and Ani are wonderful! I'd never had any PT services before, but I had a minor knee injury that wouldn't heal. My doctor suggested I try PT to see if they could give me exercises or stretches to strengthen my knee. My first day I just expected to go in and they would just tell me to do lunges or something (haha). Cristina greeted me and asked me for a brief history and what was bothering me. She examined my knee and ask me to do a few moves to assess my injury. After that she explained what my injury was and the plan for me. My doctor thought I shouldn't need more than a few sessions but they are on top with billing and getting more days approved if you need it. My sessions typically included massaging, cupping (yes on my knee!), electrical pulsing, and some exercises. But it just depends on your injury and what you need. After 5 sessions my knee feels no pain and tightness! I went in 2x a week. I was pleasantly surprised as I'd been trying to nurse it on my own for 4 weeks prior. Definitely go here for any PT work! They are very friendly and knowledgeable. It's a comfortable environment. They are pretty flexible with scheduling as well. read more

I am very happy with the staff here and the quality of the services they provide. Everyone is invested in helping you heal and become your best self. Their approach is a nice balance of hands-on care (massage, manipulations, assisted stretches, cupping, electrodes) and also properly targeted exercises. The facility is a nice open space with separate rooms for parts of your treatment. All of this and they take a wide variety of insurances! One month here equals 1 year at other PTs. You won't regret it. read more

I was referred to this PT studio by a dear friend and this place... it's above and beyond all expectations! Firstly, the owner, Cristina, is a top notch professional - along with all of her staff. Maya at the front desk is fabulous and also a great trainer. I went there due to some hip pain and as well as recently having a tendon pull in my calf. Both times I was treated as if i was the most important client they had! They literally bend over backwards to make sure you receive the treatment you need for whatever ails you, and the entire staff are extremely knowledgable about physiology, cause and effect, pinpointing areas that need the most attention and then delivering a comprehensive menu of treatments that make you know you are in good hands! The studio is clean, modern and has the latest technology and machines as well as physical therapists who spend the time to get to know the client and then treat each patient as an individual. No cookie cutter solutions here - these folks are the real deal. They also have events and special classes for those who want to take their fitness to another level once they heal. I realize by writing this review I may have to schedule my visits sooner than i do now, but they deserve the praise! Bravo Studio Brava! read more

I love StudioBrava! I call it my "happy place" because it's clean, classy, great physical therapists/masseuse, music, and lots of modalities. And, they take most insurance/Medicare. You will not be disappointed! read more

One of the most beautiful and welcoming physical therapy clinics I've ever seen! Happy to be here.

A few months back, I started having some pretty bad tendonitis wrist pains from my desk job, and my PCP recommended I go to Studio Brava as she had nothing but good things to say. After a few months of going, she's absolutely right, it was a pleasure to be treated by Cristina and her team! Cristina and her team were very personable, always making good conversation as she proceeded with treatments. For tendonitis pains, we went through a range of treatments, from laser treatments, to electrodes, through focused massages and wrist exercises. Depending on the severity of the pain that week, we alternated or did all of those at once per session. Cristina really tailors the treatment plan based on you and your pain, so in my case we had started with twice a week treatments then slowly tapered to once a week as the pain got better. Eventually after a few months, I was fully treated and she just sent me home to keep doing wrist exercises with weights to prevent this in the future. All in all, I was very satisfied with Studio Brava, would highly recommend them to anyone! read more

I HAVE NEVER HAD PHYSICAL THERAPY THAT WAS SO EFFECTIVE...I was going to an office that was using 1970 and 80s techniques..then I found Studio Brava, Christina and the staff...what a breath of fresh air and current treatments..I honestly can't say enough. read more

I originally came here because of my debilitating neck/shoulder pain that left me unable to function for months. After I finally decided I should go to pt (don't wait like I did!), Faraz examined my injury and began treatment. After only a few sessions, I could feel a huge improvement in my pain. In time, I was back to functioning normally and going to the gym. I will forever be thankful to the team at Studio Brava for their help. Everyone there is extra friendly and very knowledgeable. They continuously work with you to identify and treat your pain, adapting treatment as needed. They really care about the wellbeing of their clients and go above and beyond to help. At this point, I have worked with almost all the staff at Studio Brava- Cristina, Faraz, Thomas, George, Blake, Maya- and they are all excellent. Each of them specialize in certain areas from massage therapy, active exercises, and more. I could go on at length into how great each one of them is but I think I would run out of space. I genuinely look forward to going every week because I know they will not only take care of my pain, but also expand my range of motion and help fix the problems long term. Honestly, I can't even begin to thank them all enough for how much they have helped me. I've been to other pt places before, and I cannot recommend Studio Brava enough. read more

Earlier this year I had a rough ski injury that resulted in a torn ACL, MCL, MPFL, and meniscus. There was also severe bone bruising and sprained TCL. Surgery was as required, along with a doctors order of 2-3 days of physical therapy per week. I am so grateful that my insurance plan covers Studio Brava! I have now worked with almost all the staff here and feel confident that I'm in great hands. They're all very experienced and qualified. Each session is very personalized to each persons specific needs, and the studio offers a diverse amount of exercise equipment and open space. There are even private rooms for massage, stretching, and e-stim. I am now ten sessions in, and completely in awe of my progress since the start of my injury. When I came here I was on crutches barely able to walk, and now I'm fully active and much happier. So thankful for Studio Brava for getting me back on my feet and closer to a full and speedy recovery! read more

The B-BOARD Workout is challenging and fun! Eric is a great instructor. New, well-maintained equipment in a clean, airy studio in a convenient location with parking nearby. I'm looking forward to trying more classes! read more

I took a B board class here with Eric. Booked it through classpass and had a great time! Eric is a very patient and encouraging instructor. The class is really cool and challenging (in a good way). The instructor did a great job of teaching me how to properly get on and off the board, and how to be stable while on it. It was a good mix of stretching, balance, yoga, and even some more challenging moves that made me break a real sweat - it's definitely a proper workout with restorative elements. Parking at the lot across the street is super easy and convenient too! read more

Can you imagine looking forward to going to physical therapy? It can happen. Studio Brava is a delightful space with personable therapists who, by the way, reduced the pain in my knees by about 75% after two months of twice-a-week 45-minute sessions. Cristina, the founder and a veteran certified PT, is also a force of nature with an eye for art and design who created a spacious, multi-room environment with music, lighting, and wall hangings more often experienced in an upscale contemporary restaurant than in a PT center. I had a feeling I was in good hands (pun intended) when my thorough new-patient interview by my PT Faraz lasted 30 minutes. Faraz used not only a full array of therapies to relive my knee pain but also went beyond that issue to address my slumped posture, mediocre agility, and poor balance. On the admin side, Maja is the charming caretaker of the necessities of scheduling and insurance compliance. I hope you never need physical therapy, but, if you do, this is the place to go. read more

My acupuncturist recommended Studio Brava and I've been going for a couple of months. My scoliosis and other spine issues cause the muscles to cramp up. Wow, what a difference after getting the treatments, especially the hands on manipulation, plus ultra-sound, cupping, and electrodes. I am now able to get around without a cane, which is so freeing. Plus everyone there is so absolutely committed and caring and friendly. There is no "cure" (yes, I've gotten 2 opinions on surgery, not possible) but when someone is right there with you trying to make your life better, that's really special. I am very grateful! read more

My experience with Studio Brava has been beyond expectations. Cristina is amazingly knowledgeable and professional. I've had neck pain for two years and she is the reason I was able to go back to normal life. Maya is very friendly and accommodating, always making you welcome and taken care of. Blake is a wonderful asset to the Studio team. I have no words to express how grateful and fortunate I am to have found this place. I highly recommend Studio Brava . read more

Great fitness studio, really well equipped. Eric is a supportive and encouraging teacher. Bonus of being able to cycle outside!

I have been to many physical therapy studios in Los Angeles over the years and this is by far my favorite. I won't go anywhere else from now on. It's a friendly environment and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable, personable and flexible. Everyone who works with clients -- Cristina, Maya, Faraz, Thomas and Blake -- are top-notch. I appreciate that the staff is small but always there. They make you feel like you are more than just a client, and they understand the right treatment for your condition. I've learned great exercises to address my hip and knee pain, and the use of ultrasound and electro-stimulation has really aided in my healing. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

I injured my back working out a few months ago and was unable to continue. It was a muscle strain that I expected to go away with rest, but after weeks of no progress (and interrupted sleep) decided to seek out PT. I ended up at Studio Brava under the caring hands of Faraz and Christina. They had me go through some routines that definitely had me finding muscles I didn't know I had. Within a few weeks I was better than new and back on my own fitness journey. I really appreciate the work they do here. read more

I had knee surgery 4 years ago and went to another PT Studio. When I had my 2nd knee replacement, I needed to find another PT Studio. I was lucky enough to find Studio Brava. Cristina, Miya, Faraz and Thomas are exceptionable. They are friendly, provide an atmosphere of warmth and are knowledgeable. It is a joy to go for my sessions. They are flexible when it comes to appointments changes. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a PT Studio to check out Studio Brava. read more

I have hip pain caused by weight lifting and shoulder pain from incorrect sleeping position. They've been bother me for months, and thankfully I found this great physical therapy place and Cristina is great! She helped me recover from pain and inflamation. Highly recommended. I'll keep going there for guided workout. read more

I highly recommend Studio Brava. Cristina, Maya, Thomas and Faraz at Studio Brava are all amazing professionals who really care about their clients. I was considering back surgery until I came to Studio Brava but after therapy with Cristina and workouts with Thomas I canceled my surgery and don't think I will need it in the future. My wife works with Faraz and Cristina and has also had great results. Maya stays on top of the scheduling and assists in some of the therapies, she like every one there is highly professional and very welcoming. Cristina did a great job designing the place. It's stylish and inviting. The atmosphere is always warm and friendly, almost like family. I will miss them all when my therapy is finished. read more

Cristina, owner of Studio Brava, has the best Physical Therapy practice out there! Following a car crash where our car was hit from behind, I have had complex multiple issues from a neck concussion to vestibular, visual and vertigo issues! Cristina has been extremely compassionate, patient and knowledgeable in regard to the various modalities and treatments, I need to deal with the nuanced pain and mobility issues I am having! She has a healing touch and knows exactly where to manipulate in order to alleviate my ongoing pain and stiffness! I had early onset, osteoporosis and she is sensitive to my exact needs that are ever changing as I heal! Recently, Cristina welcomed Dr. Faraz Sadighim, to her practice! After extensive interviewing, she made a very wise choice in choosing him to join her highly professional staff! He has a fantastic hands on technique and I will see them both, going forward! He is knowledgeable, warm and compassionate and also has an intuitive touch! They both have given, great at home exercises and advice as well! Blake, the sports, exercise and massage therapist, continues to do deep fascia relief treatments that have really helped my various aches, pains and nuanced health issues. He also has me do uniquely personalized stretches during the session to increase mobility as does Dr. Faraz and Cristina. Maya who oversees, coordinates and runs the whole practice, really makes a positive effort to stay attuned to the bustling studio! She has a great sense of humor that helps me plow through as she gives me my ultrasound and exercise routine. Esthetically, the space is large, tastefully decorated and very Zen! Parking is very easy with an abundance of free meters on Sepulveda Blvd. The location is great and freeway close! The entire staff may look like they stepped off a movie set as they are beautiful people, inside and out! They really know what they are doing! I am eternally grateful to this fabulous team, for making each visit a positive, fun experience! I am looking forward to the other services that will be offered soon! read more

I've had my share of PT over the years but no one has even come close to Cristina and her team when it comes to healing. There's even an acupuncturist in-house for next-level treatment. It's a state-of-the-art facility. Easy to get to and park. Bravo Brava! read more

I got into a car accident on 1/29/2018 and severely tweaked my lower back, causing random shooting pains that were best described as mini lightening strikes. Painkillers only mask the problem so my physician father recommended I try physical therapy. I resisted because I always thought PT was lame. Turns out I was the lame one because PT works! Or at least it works at Studio Brava. Cristina (owner) and Ani ("adopted" co-owner) make Studio Brava a bright, welcoming, therapeutic environment. My first session was with Cristina; immediately afterwards the severity and frequency of my back problem started to subside. I had about 7-more treatments, all with Ani except another one with Cristina. I stopped going because they did such an incredible job. Ani taught me a variety of stretches to do on my own to loosen the muscles, which I do to this day. PT worked for me, and the women at Studio Brava made my experience so memorable that I had to share it on Yelp. read more
