The ER doctor recommended my mother to physical therapy after being hospitalized for almost two weeks. She had pain and swelling in her arms and feet. I went on Yelp to check reviews and Balance and Motion Physical Therapy had the highest best rated reviews. My mother called and made an appointment the same week. We arrived on a Friday late afternoon for her first session. Location is clean and well managed. Leonard is the MPT and he is the sweetest! He was very welcoming and my mother felt very comfortable. He is very personable and knowledgeable. Within my mother's 60 minutes session, she would do the following: stationary bike, assisted pull ups from the chair, weights, and treatment for her areas of pain. After a couple sessions, my mother was able to see results. Her swelling went down and she started to gain her strength back. She saw Leonard twice a week for two months and she is back to her normal self. Overall, I highly recommend Leonard at Balance and Motion Physical Therapy. read more

Leonard is the best. He's been in the business for 20+ years and really knows what to do to get you Back On Your Feet! When all the other businesses in the area were booked ten days in advance, Leonard was able to get me in for an appointment the same day. I'm so grateful to have come across this business because I came here hobbling, barely able to walk, and by the end of my first visit I was undoubtedly feeling tons better. Give him a call, he'll do his best to work with your insurance and if not, the cash price is worth it. You won't regret it! read more

The staff and physical therapists are very friendly. Love coming here for my physical, they make you feel welcomed and take great care of you . I highly recommend them ! read more

Leonard has been a God-send for my husband who has developed tendinitis of the shoulder and elbow. My husband has been muscling through the pain for a over year and half now. He tries to massage it himself daily, stretch and practice exercises he had learned from another physical therapy office. He has only felt true relief after visiting Balance and Motion Physical Therapy. What sets Leonard apart is that you truly feel like you get personalized care. It is the same person treating you and understanding your pain points. At the other office, my husband was passed around and left alone to practice the exercises, but it didn't feel like you have someone advocating for you to get better. With Leonard, he cares about you getting better. He communicates what he is doing to treat you and he is the one booking appointments with you. I highly recommend those who need physical therapy to come check out Balance and Motion for that specialized care! read more

I worked with Leonard at a local hospital in the area 20 years ago. I called to set an appointment with him... and I came by one day for shoulder, neck and back stiffness. When you come to his office and business, you just sit in his lobby until he finished with his current client. Once he called you in the rehab therapy area... he does full assessment of what issues or problems you have physically. Leonard worked on the knots and muscle stiffness with his hands and gadgets to loosen up the problem area. Working with him 20 years ago and seeing him the first time... it's good to know that he hasn't change. Leonard is knowledgeable, good-nature, friendly, caring and thorough with his craft to help ease his patients. Definitely, I'm looking forward to continue my rehab at Balance and Motion. If you have any pain, soreness or any issues... drop by and experience the best care. Also, support your local business. read more

I could not even stand when I had my cast off for a few days from having it on for a month from breaking my ankle. Leonard was able to get me in with a same day appointment and in that one appointment, I went from not able to stand to walking without assistance to my car to go home for the evening! Amazing! Leonard takes about an hour with me each session and he takes great care in the treatment of my ankle and getting it back to full functionality. After about 6 sessions I was able to almost walk without any kind of limp or impediment. I'm going to continue my sessions and I know with Leonard's skill that I'll be better than new in no time. I highly recommend this place! read more

I'm brand new to working out and when I started, I went REALLY HARD and because I wasn't being trained properly and because I am not conditioning, I ended up having painful tendinitis in my knees!!! When I came, Leonard was very welcoming, kind, and professional. He helped me learn and practice new stretches to do on a regular basis to help warm my muscles and help prevent future injury. He also gave such a soothing and relaxing massage to help with the pain along with light therapy and kinesiotaping. I had such a good experience, I highly recommend. I felt very cared for and if you come, you'll be in great hands! read more

I have been going to this particular physical therapy center for about a year or more now and have to say that overall, the therapist and the type of therapy I have received thus far and continue to receive is absolutely superb! The therapist really knows what he is doing for your particular need, has the right tools to use, gives great advice that you can use at home on your own, and really makes you feel comfortable overall. He really takes his time and is very careful not to overdo it when not needed (particularly when the injury is fresh), but also knows when to push you within the constraints and/or consistent improvement of the injury/medical need of your particular body part. I would highly recommend this therapy center! read more

Leonard helped me out with some recurring back pain that I couldn't shake no matter how many chiro sessions I went to. Working from home and sitting all day really did a number on my back and over the course of a couple months the sessions I had with Leonard + the exercises he told me to continue from home eventually made it go away. Super kind and caring guy! read more

I give this establishment a full five star review. I had issues with sciatica and tendonitis and Leonard expertly and unhurriedly dealt with my issues. He is competent, knowledgeable, and helpful. I highly recommend this Physical Therapy clinic to those who have a need for such services. The place is very accessible with ample parking as well. read more

I was referred to Balance and Motion by a friend who had experienced great results from treatments with Leonard. I had been having recurring lower back pain for months and had tried a different physical therapist previously as well as acupuncture sessions but nothing seemed to help. However, after the first session with Leonard, I immediately began feeling relief. He pinpointed the issue quickly and was able to apply methods that addressed the pain directly. I would highly recommend anyone to see Leonard if they are seeking physical therapy. read more

I was having elbow pain for about 2 months and was told by Doctors that I should be resting my arm, doing cross friction massage, and icing due to inflammation. I was doing all three for a while and was still in pain and wasn't seeing any improvements. I looked around for physical therapists near me on Yelp and found Balance and Motion PT. I read through the reviews and really liked what others had to say. I also liked that there were pictures of inside the facility which helped ease my decision of what I thought I needed. It looked like the perfect place for me. I called first thing in the morning and was scheduled for an appointment in the afternoon for the same day. I was seen by Leonard R. Bautista (the owner). He was attentive, friendly, and helpful regarding my elbow pain concerns. He also answered any questions I had for treatment and recovery. The session lasted for about a hour where I received deep tissue massage, cupping, laser therapy, as well as ultrasound and icing. I immediately felt a difference in my elbow area hours after the treatment was over and cannot express how thankful I am to have found this place. I already know I will be back if any future issues arrive with my arm. Leonard provided excellent care. Thank you so much for treating me! I highly recommend Leonard and Balance and Motion PT. read more

I highly recommend this place. Leonard is heaven sent! I am so grateful to have found him he has helped me so much with my back pain, stretches, exercises and feet pain. I have a lot of work to do but he has been so helpful and really takes the time to make sure i am doing everything correctly. I have learned so much and have been feeling better ever since i started coming here. Not only is he a great physical therapist he is a great guy!

I highly recommend Mr. Leonard as a Physical Therapist. He takes the time to listen to his patients and understands their needs. Then he creates various regimens to improve their physical abilities. Mr. Leonard helped my daughter after her accident tremendously! He is very knowledgeable and sincerely wants to help his patients. read more

Leonard is a miracle worker! He has been helping me with PT the last few weeks after a torn ACL and meniscus tear and I have progressed so well. I had started seeing a different PT early on post surgery but had to make a change due to where I was recovering and I'm so glad I found Leonard. He does multiple treatments to help your muscles loosen up so that you're able to do the post surgery exercises with less pain and discomfort. He'll also look into other areas of your body that could be affecting your recovery. I even referred him to my parents and now they wish they could see him every day. He definitely works with you individually to make sure each treatment is specialized. Highly recommend for anyone who is recovering from surgery or has any ailments in their bodies. You will not be disappointed as he's got years of experience. I now commute over 45 minutes to still see him 2-3x a week as I know the quality of care is worth the drive! read more

First of all, I hate going to physical therapy... they send you to some large over-crowded, far out-of-the-way place (in a town you'd never normally go visit), show you some stupid exercises, and really don't listen or help you with your problem/ailment. so when I turned 65, medicare said I could go anywhere I wanted... and hey, I spotted 'Balance & Motion' in Cerritos. I went in and Dr. Leonard listened (and asked the right questions!) and worked with me on solving my shoulder problems. his small office and therapy rooms are tidy/neat/clean (so is the bathroom). you lye down, soft music plays, lights are low. he spends about an hour with you, and uses various therapy techniques to address the problem, plus a hot or cold pack at the end. Leonard is knowledgeable, professional, very likable, and easy to talk with. he even plays catch with me (it's part of my therapy, and I now go twice a week). thanks again for solving this maddening "therapy nightmare" of mine! your new pal and fully satisfied customer/client, The High-Mileage Varmint (P.S. I know you can only give a 5 star rating in the review, but I give B&M two thumbs up and 6 stars... so now Leonard, let's talk about getting a small fridge with a few of my favorite beverages in it... ) read more

Mr. Leonard Bautista, the Physical Therapist and Owner of Balance and Motion Physical Therapy, provided my wife with very effective and professional treatment on her leg muscles. Afterwards, my wife was able to to walk with less pain. Although we were walk-ins to his clinic, Leonard treated us with kindness and understanding and left us with a feeling that he cared about our ailment. I highly recommend that you see Leonard for any physical therapy treatment you may need. I am sure Leonard will treat you as well as he did we. Thank you. read more

Unlike most if not all therapy places, here you are working with the owner and therapist himself. He does not tell you to do a task and go away, to return to check on you.. He is with you every moment. A great guy and place. read more
