Went for treatment…read moreevery week, sometimes twice a week, from being immobile (after surgery) to now fully mobile with excellent range of motion, and knowledge of how to maintain the health of the muscles and bones, with correct exercise. It took some time but it is all worthwhile because it is for my health. Everyone in the office, from administrative staff to the therapists, was very friendly and helpful. All the therapists were knowledgeable and very patient. The massage that they did was crucial and helpful as part of the healing journey. I had experience in a couple of other places before I came to B&C, and B&C has been the best & would wholeheartedly recommend this facility.

Boris, the PT I worked with, was very friendly and helped me resolve the issue I came in with. He shared lots of useful advice in regards to working out that I have been able to apply to daily life.

It's an open concept and bright space with lots of patients and physical therapists. Mary-Claire took the time to diagnose my issues and tailored a PT program to get me right. The rest of the staff are also friendly and helpful, including AJ, Christian, Adrian, and Andrea. I didn't work with Andrius but he seemed knowledgeable and caring. My one note is that it can feel like the patients are put through an assembly line so you might have to speak up to get extra attention on your exercise form or discuss what's working or not in the program. Very easy to call in to make an appointment or change it. The office also helped me deal with an insurance snafu. There's parking in the back but all the spaces are reserved for specific businesses so you may have to do street parking even if it looks like there are open spaces.

My orthopedic doctor advised me to go to physical therapy for up to three months, after one month of being in a sling. I have had plenty of other injuries in the past and this one has definitely been the slowest to heal and quite limiting in terms of going through daily lifestyle tasks. Finding a facility for physical therapy was a bit challenging. Many in my area had no reviews, or even worse, negative reviews. The facility which my doctor recommended did not even return my call for a consultation. I decided to take a chance on Mariners, which is established in Orange County, but new to this location. Upon my first consultation, I felt very comfortable there. It is organized, clean and professional. Service is great. They process your insurance claims, which I am finding several places do not do. The therapists are very knowledgeable and just pleasant - positive. They share duties so you may interact with multiple therapists and aides in one session. Most importantly I am seeing progress with my mobility and flexibility with their treatments. They add and remove exercises each week, so it is not monotonous. In the past I have had PT that involves lots of manual massage (which I love) and I've had some sessions where the therapists spend two-three minutes with you then send you to a roller table the rest of the time. Mariners definitely has substantive treatment the whole hour or so you are there. The only thing I would prefer is more of a massage component as it is a bit painful to just jump into exercises. They do however, do stretches with you before the exercise component. I would also like to see a more formalized program of at-home exercises to do. In the past I have received these plans with diagrams and instructions. I had to ask about at-home exercises after several weeks of treatment since none were offered to that point. Aside from those small matters, I do have lost of confidence in Mariners and will continue to work with them.

My footpain is an old broken foot injury that flares up seasonally. I worked with Dr. Kimmi and Dr. Cheri on building strength and with shockwave therapy. My foot responded very well to their protocol and I was able to continue on to run a Disney half marathon as well as the Altadena to Palisades Ultramarathon Relay. I continued to work with Dr. Cheri and Dr. Kelli during my pregnancy for strength and prenatal chiropractic care, which helped immensely to address my aches, pains, and changing body. Needless to say, I am a huge Healthfit advocate to care for your body- the entire team of Drs. are fantastic. They are constantly upgrading their knowledge, equipment, and you will not go wrong with any of them. The front desk group is hilarious, friendly, and easy to work with. I highly recommend giving them a call to see what they can do for you. My only regret was not seeing them sooner.

Mari, my wife's long term Physical Therapist is awesome. She's patient, caring, knowledgeable, and very friendly & personable. She's also very good at adapting the treatment to the unpredictable changes in wife's condition. It seems like other patients there have their own favorite Therapist, so I assume it's a strong staff all around. Lately there's an assistant / intern, Matthew, who is a great addition. The facility is always clean and calm, with a relaxed, friendly vibe. Great location, right near the freeway and tons of nearby lunch options and parks. The sessions are always one of the highlights of our week. We come across town for this, and are happy to do so. Also, they validate parking, which is always appreciated! A+!!!

I highly recommend NeuroSport Physical Therapy, especially Grant Duncan. From my very first visit,…read moreI knew I was in great hands. Grant is knowledgeable, patient, compassionate, and truly cares about his patients. He takes the time to listen, explains everything clearly, and never makes me feel rushed. What impressed me the most was that he focused on what would be best for my long-term recovery after my upcoming hip replacement surgery. It's rare to find someone who genuinely put his patient's needs first. I also appreciate the hands-on treatment he provides. He spends time working directly on my muscles and mobility instead of relying mostly on machines. Before coming to NeuroSport, I could't fully extend my leg or turn onto my side in bed. Now I can do both without struggling. Everyone at NeuroSport is friendly and professional. If you're looking for a physical therapist who is skilled, honest, and truly cares, I highly recommend Grant Duncan and the entire NeuroSport team. I have been to five or six physical therapy clinics over the years, and NeuroSport stands out. The quality of care and the personal attention they provide are truly exceptional.

He also recommended me to get a therapeutic message with Jessie. I've been coming every 1-2 weeks for the past 3 months. All I can say is that my body feels so much better and don't get lower back pain as often! Every time I see Dr. Aldana, he tells me sees improvement! :) I also highly recommend Jessie!

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.

She has so much knowledge and is very caring and supportive. The class was with 6 individuals with very different stages of fitness journey and needs. (Some have bad shoulders, injured body parts etc.) Tracey gave everybody with very customized, individual cues and progression/regression, and I am amazed how she helped everyone to push just right amount so that everyone can get good workout while not injuring themselves. The whole class flow was amazingly choreographed with proper techniques and hands-on adjustments. I am at the phase to undo my bad habits and correct my alignments deviations. Without me communicating verbally, Tracey understood my intentions and guided me through the whole class. She gave me so many aha moments and I finally found some of my muscle groups firing which I haven't felt for years. She has such a sweet, nurturing personality, and it was such a pleasant and fun experience to move in her class! Highly highly recommend to anybody - from a person who has never taken a Pilates class, or recovering from injuries, to a Pilates enthusiast looking for learning from an instructor at the mastery level of arts of Pilates.

These are group classes, 8 people max, and you all do the same set of exercises but each at their own pace/intensity. People aged late 30's to 70's. Everyone there trying to help themselves and each other. The trainers breakdown all the exercises so that you learn them well and don't injure yourself while still pushing to get better. You start by stretching/warming up, then do a compound weight lifting exercise (depends on the day it may be squats, dead lifts, or overhead press). Then do some body weight exercises and then some cardio. Definitely love going here.
