Physical Therapy in Pasadena

“LOVE this service. Money well spent.

Decided to train with Amber through my pregnancy. As someone who's not an avid gym goer, I was hesitant about spending the money on personal training. Found this spot and decided to pull the trigger. Could not have asked for a better service! I've learned so much about strength training and more importantly about how to do it without injury. Feel like they've set me up for life!!“

“Great customized physical therapy program that got me feeling more like myself much faster.“

“After my car accident I had multiple herniated discs resulting in severe pain from my neck down to my fingers. I was not able to sleep on my right side and I was barley able to hold a cup of coffee. Maddie was incredible and adjusted our therapy as I began to improve. After 6 months I was better than ever. I can't thank Maddie and her wonderful staff enough for their support during this trying time. Now I just have to find another injury for her to repair;)“

“I highly recommend coming to Monty if you are having pains, especially chronic pain. Upon first visit, he'll ask for details as to why you're going to see him and from there lets you know what areas he will target first. He'll go over those areas by warming you up first and then gets down to the nitty gritty. It is by no means a relaxing massage, this is a massage because you need help. I had a history of horse riding accidents, along with stress from life/work, stress on my body from climbing, and just sheer neglect, I developed a lot of tightness in my body that I felt unbearable pain for years. I went to the typical massage places, I saw two different acupuncturists and none were able to help the pain I felt. After one visit with Monty, and spending a few days feeling sore, I was able to feel relief that I had never felt before. I went in a total of 3 times, and can honestly say that the pains I felt before are gone. Occasionally, they'll come back, but he showed me how to target specific areas with a lacrosse ball and told me to foam roll, which I do now and am able to find relief on my own. I know that whenever I find myself unable to help my own body, that Monty will be the first one I'll reach out to. My fiance also goes to him and has found so much relief from all of his sports injuries.“

“I’ve posted about how great Dr. Richard Cheung is on Yelp, but I thought I’d share my thoughts here, too. I’ve been to quite a few Chiropractors over the years, ranging from a few in NYC to several in Los Angeles, Atlanta and Hawaii. Some have been ok, some have been terrible and a few have been great. I am here to tell you Dr. Cheung is the best of the best in my experience. I go to him for regular maintenance adjustments most of the time, but when I’ve had the occasional really out of whack back or neck vertebrae, Dr. Cheung consistently has been able to alleviate any pain I might be in, and correct the issue immediately. He’s simply amazing and very gifted. Trust me, you won’t find a better Chiropractor anywhere.“

“I completed 24 AidsLifeCycle ride, a 550 7-day bike ride from San Fran to Los Angeles and developed more serious hip and neck pain as I trained for my 25th June 2024 ride. From an X-Ray, a medical provider recommended that I stop my long distance cycling to avoid future hip surgeries. I was devastated. A 2nd opinion with Sports Medicine disagreed discontinuing my long distance cycling but recommended a bike fit and physical therapy. Fortunately, Ari Baquet was highly recommended as a bike fitter by my bike store. With only two months before my 25th ALC bike ride I thought "What do I have to lose." After working with Ari, I refer to him as, "A human MRI." He's amazing. He did a thorough evaluation, reviewing records, physically examining my body posture both on and off the bike. He's collaborative and gave me his full attention. For two months, I followed all physical therapy exercises. Before Ari, I was hoping to at least complete half of ALC's daily miles. From his help, I not only completed all 550 miles with less physical pain but I broke my personal times records in comparison when I rode my first San Fran to LA ride when I was 45 (I'm now 70 years old!). I'm grateful. He's busy and worth the wait because he's so good. He really loves what he does and as I said, he's A Human MRI in figuring out what, where and how changes are needed.“

“It’s a amazing place clean and helpful and Sandy she very nice and amazing and very helpful“

“The staff were friendly and super efficient and Dr. Schwartz was a pleasure to work with. Would definitely recommend.“

“Alexa at PHRC Pasadena is wonderful. I can’t recommend her or this place enough! I was able to meet my goals fairly quickly, all thanks to her help and a thorough home exercise plan. Five stars!“

“Here is part 2 of my review since the first one was too long to contain in one post.

Dr Wise, the on site optometrist, created a new prescription for me that shifted my visual perception to the left to prevent my eye from turning inwards to the right. I picked up my new prism glasses from the store the next day and was shocked. Placing my tongue on the roof of my mouth no longer caused my body to launch itself forward into forward head posture! I noticed while trying out the restaurants in Lincoln that it became easier for me to eat and even easier for me to speak. After addressing my vision the next thing they did was address my teeth. I met with Dr. Meagan Hungerford who collaborated with Jason Masek to create a splint for me called a MOOO which is designed to help me sense more of my left molars. These tools helped me perform the PRI exercises more efficiently and at the end of 3 days I made more progress with my breathing than I had in 3 years of pursuing sleep apnea surgeries.

I came back home from Nebraska with a brand new understanding of myself and what my challenges were. I wasn’t completely fixed but the glasses and splint were able to restore a basic level of functionality to my life. I was finally able to get a job, pay off my medical debt, and my student loans. These were huge stepping stones for me because the complications I faced from jaw surgery were so severe they prevented me from starting my career. I continued to do the PRI exercises at home but progress was slow and I knew I needed to follow up with Loc to get reassessed.

I didn’t see Loc again until June of 2024 almost a year and a half after our first initial appointment. I told him about my experience with the PRIME program and shared what I learned from Ron Hruska. Loc has been able to effectively guide me throughout my rehabilitation more efficiently thanks to the tools I received in Nebraska. I have been making progress much faster once I started seeing him regularly and performing the exercises he gives me at home. He has a way of identifying exactly what the problem areas are and it always surprises me how he seems to know it almost immediately.

I didn’t think it would be possible for anyone to help me given the obscurity of the neuromuscular symptoms I had been dealing with but I was wrong. I’m beyond grateful to have Loc who is considered to be an elite PT even among the other practitioners. Most physical therapists give you exercises, stretches, or massages that may offer temporary relief but aren’t really addressing the root cause of the pain. PRI seeks to influence a persons underlying neurology by addressing sensory contributors to pain like your vision bite or feet. It honestly feels like magic to me at times. I can’t thank Loc enough because once you meet him you will understand that the guy is an absolute machine freak of nature when it comes to movement. If I could redo things over again I wish I could have came to him first.“

“I had an amazing cupping session with therpaist Jeanine Kim. This heat treatment with the glass bowls and heated stones were exactly what I needed to unblock my energy flows and get me clear-headed. The bonus was Jeanine explaining the whole process in a calm and soothing voice as she applied the treatment with her healing hands. The Vitality Center's ambience is also super clean, organized and very calming. There's convenient parking in the back lot. The whole experience was not stressful, comforting and healing. I highly recommend Jeanine!“

“Very thorough with physical therapy. Makes sure you ae comfortable. Staff is very friendly and easy going.“

“Justin helped me recover from a bad back injury that I sustained a few years ago, so when I injured my knee skiing last week I immediately thought to contact him. He was able to very accurately assess the extent of my injury (confirmed by my GP with an x-ray), and already in two sessions with him I am starting to see improvements with my comfort and mobility.On top of his ability to heal, it is clear that Justin has a great deal of care and compassion for his patients. I always feel put at ease when I am in his care and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of physical therapy.“

“Kevin is a fantastic therapist! The facility is extensive and the assistants are helpful, friendly and always encouraging. Getting my shoulder working again wasn’t easy but the Catz team was an essential part of the journey!“

“Dr Nino is the best chiropractor I’ve ever encountered. Very professional, amazing staff, and a great value. Highly recommend.“

“They have very competent therapist , friendly staff they are bilingual I totally recommend them“

“Great staff. And Dr. I was going there for 6 months. I have not been to new location. As I no longer need the therapy. I would recommend.“

“They are knowledgeable, they are encouraging and they are kind. I was able to relax and focus almost immediately because of the positive people and environment. I enjoyed the casual conversation and when I had questions they had answers! Because of this team, I was able to avoid surgery, forever grateful. Thank you.“
