I wholeheartedly recommend Las Manos Physical Therapy. After suffering from a persistent hamstring…read moreinjury, and general imbalance from a car accident, I was introduced to Bart, the primary physical therapist at Las Manos PT. I was initially skeptical, since I had gone to 2 physical therapists prior. With the others, I received general physical therapy sessions that did little for the pain and absolutely nothing to help restore my mobility. Needless to say, I was losing hope. Bart identified the root cause of my hamstring injury, and tailored a physical therapy program to build strength and balance. After several months of therapy, the hamstring pain vanished and I was able to resume my normal workout routine - running. What sets Bart apart from other physical therapists is his expertise, creativity in developing customized therapy plans, and genuine care about his patients wellbeing. If you find yourself in need of a solution for pain management, strength, or balance, you will be in good hands at Las Manos Physical Therapy.

Bart is an excellent physical therapist.

In addition to his clinical skill, he really helped me with his positive attitude. I always felt motivated to come in and do PT with Bart, and he is a very skilled manual therapist too! If you're in pain, I would recommend you visit Bart.

PT Michelle is absolutely amazing--she's incredibly friendly, patient, and encouraging, especially with kids. She really took the time to understand our son's needs and created achievable, well-structured sessions that helped build his confidence while still pushing him just enough. Thanks to her thoughtful approach, we saw real improvement and a faster recovery than we expected. The facility itself is spacious, clean, and very well equipped with a wide variety of tools and equipment to support recovery from all kinds of pain or conditions requiring physical therapy. It never feels crowded, and everything feels organized and professional. Overall, this has been a very positive experience for our family. We're grateful for the excellent care and highly recommend Adventist Health Therapy to anyone--especially families--looking for quality physical therapy services.

I recently went to Mel for excruciating pain due to a pinched nerve in my neck. The pain stemmed…read morefrom numbness, tingling sharp shooting pain that went down both my arms. To a point where it would keep me up at night. No relief no matter what I did. I had two sessions and it made a world of difference. I'm continuing treatment because I don't want to lose the momentum and opportunity to heal but I'm so grateful for the difference she has made in the quality of life already that I had to write a review.

I've gone to Mel's studio regularly for over three years, and in that time, she has changed my…read morelife. I have several physical ailments that accompany pain and nervous system dysregulation. I initially went to her for a myofascial message, but soon after she suggested I would benefit more from craniosacral therapy. I wish I could describe how such a light touch therapy works so well, but I cannot. All I can say is that, in Mel's hands, craniosacral therapy has given me pain reduction, nervous system calming, and overall physical and mental relief, in a way no other physical or mental therapy has ever given me. And, I have done years of physical therapy, acupuncture, meditation, mental therapy, regular message, etc. She's so intuitive that sometimes she narrows into working on problem areas I didn't even know were spasmed or clogged until she releases them. I leave feeling like I've been in a meditative state, but better. The calmness and physical relaxation last longer with each session. What started as a few hours of relief, has extended to days, and sometimes weeks. She helped me learn how to unconsciously relax my own system, and reduce the muscle spasms, brain fog, anxiety and other issues that come with it. With her help, I'm managing several physical chronic conditions that literally had disabled me for over a decade before I found her. She's helped me both through crises, and simply to maintain equilibrium in my system. In addition, she's such a kind and smart person. I cannot recommend Mel's services highly enough.

I can't say enough good things about Lorena and Alex. Truly one of the best experiences I've ever…read morehad with physical therapy. From the very first session, they were incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in helping me feel better. They took the time to really understand what was going on with my body and built a plan that felt tailored, intentional, and effective. And the results speak for themselves. I came in feeling stiff, limited, and honestly a little broken... and somehow they worked magic. I feel stronger, more mobile, and more in tune with my body than I have in a long time. It genuinely feels like they took me from Pinocchio to a real boy. Beyond that, the energy they bring is amazing: encouraging, positive, and super professional while still making every session enjoyable. You can tell they really care about what they do and the people they're helping. If you're even thinking about physical therapy, stop searching and just book with them. Absolute game changers.

When I turned a certain age, ahem, everything started to hurt. Knees, my back...well you know the…read moresong. Seriously, this place helped get me primed for the Rose Bowl Half Marathon within a couple of weeks. From the admin staff to their PTs and PT students, folks are kind and efficient at what they do. Their POS kiosk check-in system is very effective for checking in without waiting in a line, and their cubies to house your items are just so tidy versus having to run back to your car to leave behind your bag or keys. Brandi and the rest of the admin staff are so quick and skilled at their jobs and make it so easy from booking appointments, to getting papers signed, to ensuring that they coordinate with your PCP on orders. We did self-pay since our insurance did not cover, but were able to access services due to our FSA/HRA card. They also provide superbills if you need to remit those to your insurance company at all. My PT, Ciara was great from initial assessment to getting me a proper recovery routine that would help me get from pain to 20k gain in a couple weeks time. Her PT assistant Gev is also really friendly and knowledgeable and I'd honestly be happy with either one of them guiding me through my workouts. I had never had PT, but the process was very seamless. The best part is that the place is just a sweet 5 min or so drive from home and that is just icing. Check out MOTI PT--it surely doesn't hurt. Ba dum dum ;D

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Dr. Loc?…read more In one sentence... He is a living healer. Yes, he's far and yes he's expensive but in ONE visit he fixed my shoulder pain.

Yes I did weekly physical therapy, weekly massages, acupuncture, Rolfing, sauna, cold plunge, PEMF mat, hyperbaric oxygen, I honestly could keep going but you get the point.

I never find myself writing reviews for anything, but I think I owe it to anyone looking to get out…read moreof pain, perform better in their sport, or just recover from an injury or surgery to share the experience that I, and four others, had after seeing Dr. Locatelli Rao in Pasadena. TLDR: He has been able to help each of us after we all were separately convinced that we had seen "all of the best" PTs/therapists/healers in California, Minnesota and Vancouver. I found him while I was training for an Ironman a couple of years ago. I had experienced a number of injuries while training that were starting to slow me down. Not only did those injuries resolve, but in later appointments with him I was able to fix my chronic shoulder/neck and low back pain that I had been living with for the last 15 years after injuries/surgeries from playing high school football and baseball. I can't put a price on what this has done for my quality of life as someone who values taking care of my health and fitness. Since then I have sent my parents, girlfriend and one of my friends to him and we have all had the same experience. Parents: Dad (ankle) Mom (meniscus) - - both of them are now pain free after they had been living in pain for the past two decades after each of their injuries. One of my best friends experienced a near-death skydiving accident. Broke 4 cervical vertebrae and tore his acetabular labrum (hip labrum) and had seen 12+ specialists to try to get out of pain and regain his mobility he had lost after being in a neck brace for 4 months. He was told that all of those specialists were the best in their fields/techniques but he only saw either marginal improvement (if any) or temporary improvement/relieve with them. After one appointment with Dr. Loc he regained most of the functionality of his left hip and is excited to go back and address his neck pain with Dr. Loc. For the first time in half a decade he is feeling confident that there is actually a path out of pain for him. My girlfriend had low back pain throughout her life as long as she can remember. After a single appointment with Dr. Loc she has not experienced anywhere near the intensity/frequency of pain that she was experiencing prior. Even a day of sitting too long at her desk chair would have her at 6/10 pain and now the worst she experiences is a 1.5-2/10 after heavy lifting/long hikes. (follow him on Instagram and you'll see dozens of case studies and other examples of this happening for other people as well) Put simply: We all call him a wizard and he is the now the first person we are all recommending other people go and see when they're dealing with any sort of pain. It's a long drive for me to go and see him, but I'd make the trip if it were 10x longer.

If you're experiencing UTI-like symptoms, post-UTI discomfort, or that confusing feeling where…read moreeverything seems like a UTI but all tests come back clean--no infection, no answers--you need to see Rose. Rose is truly beautiful inside and out. She is an incredibly kind, compassionate, and genuine person with such a beautiful soul. From the very first moment, she listens to you, really hears you, and makes you feel understood. She is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, and skilled at what she does, but what makes her special is how deeply she cares. With Rose, it never feels like "just a job" or about money--it's care, care, and more care. She takes the time to understand every step of what you're feeling, connects with you on a human level, and works thoughtfully to find what can truly help you feel better. She has an amazing ability to work with everyone and create a safe, trusting space. She is highly knowledgeable in pelvic floor therapy and always tries to understand the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. She truly feels for her patients and goes above and beyond to support them. I am 100% grateful to have found her and will always be thankful. She is a rare and wonderful soul. I highly, highly recommend Rose to anyone who is struggling and doesn't know where to turn.

For weeks, asked for more exercises. Every time, no, said I needed to come back. I went to another provider, they correctly diagnosed my issue: anterior pelvic tilt. Something on EPT checklist/assessment form, that they completely missed. And, new provider gave me a complete exercise program (10-12 exercises). I don't think EPT was able to deliver for performance, and they were not flexible with my time/needs. Although I'm sure they are fine for most, for me, most importantly, they missed a seemingly obvious assessment/diagnosis.

I was reluctant to try PT again after a poor experience with a past provider at another practice…read morebut I'm so glad I did! I struggle with intermittent pain which is challenging to communicate to a doctor when it's not actively flared up, but Aimee is empathetic and kind and really listened and believed me when I was describing my pain while not actively in pain. She gave me homework and things were going well, but my real 10/10 experience came when a flare up coincided with my appointment date. I arrived in tears because my neck and hips hurt so badly. Through massage and stretching and being gentle with me, I left the appointment feeling significantly better than when I came in and was able to go about my day without crying in pain. She has since taught me some great exercises for when I'm in an active flare up to reduce pain and we're working on building strength. I notice a big difference in my workouts from small adjustments she's given me. Also, the whole staff is warm and helpful. I know having to pay out of pocket can be a challenge and I was certainly skeptical to not get insurance coverage for PT, but I just can't recommend Elevated enough.

Vincent is amazing! I've been seeing him for the past couple of months after I tore my meniscus. I…read morewas skeptical my knee would heal, but now I'm shocked how much progress I've made - it's kept me from needing surgery!! Vincent is so professional and knowledgeable, he went to the best PT program in the US (USC), so I know I'm in good hands. I've seen other physical therapists in the past, but they usually don't spend the whole hour with you and instead your healing is in the hands of an aid who is not really trained or paying attention, which can lead to more injuries or just taking longer to get better. It's worth it to pay out of pocket and get a full hour with Vincent 1:1 - I'm never using insurance for PT again. I have other chronic health conditions and bad experiences with PT in the past (that's how I tore my meniscus in the first place), so I was nervous about seeing Vincent at first, but he is so patient and kind and attentive and smart - he knows about my other conditions and knows when to pivot to another exercise to not make my pain worse. Vincent tailors the exercises to me (not just getting them out of a binder like a lot of PTs) and even makes videos so I can watch how to do them later. He's so organized and I love how he posts all the exercises on this app called TrueCoach so I can keep track of it all (which is SO helpful when you have brain fog and can't remember your homework!). As long as you actually do your homework, you will see results. I love his approach to PT and will continue seeing him for all my other chronic injuries as well - he's helped me walk again so I really can't be more thrilled!

Thankfully I found Vincent. He brought out skeletal diagrams and explained to me as much as I could understand about how my spine, back, nerves, and pelvis interact. He asked me what my goals were (in my case it was to play basketball again). Then he worked up a plan and we agreed on how to approach the issue. Each session, Vincent took measurements and recorded my mobility and pain metrics to track my progress. He gave me exercises and if I said they weren't working, he changed them. He always listened to me and adjusted based on what I was feeling. I feel like I found my physical therapist for life!

After getting an MRI I found out that I had a stress reaction on my left femur. Under Kevin's guidance I stopped running for 5 weeks to give my leg time to properly heal. I missed my peak training period, but instead supplemented with PT sessions & exercises, strength-training and low-impact cardio. Three weeks prior to the marathon I was given the all clear to start running again. I cannot thank Kevin & Ryan for fixing me just in time to be able to run my first marathon in October! Any time anyone asks for a PT recommendation, I point them to Kevin. He really cares for his clients and wants to see them succeed. Many of my friends have gone to him for their PT needs. He knows what he's doing and he's the consummate professional, as well as the entire staff. If I'm in need for physical therapy again, there's no one else I trust.
