I've been to two different physical therapy groups and could not come up with a solution. And finally, I was led to stay ready, which is 30 minutes closer to my home, than where I was going for my other PT. It's not that it was discovered right away. In fact, it was a journey. But TJ, the amazing physical therapist, that he is, figured out how to get to the issue that I was dealing with, and basically changed my life. I couldn't do a push-up up until sometime after working with him. And have been working on strengthening since we figured out the issue. Everyone at the Atwater stay ready location that I have encountered are friendly and easy to interact with.

After 4 years of lower back pain, visiting 3 PTs, a physiatrist and a couple acupuncturists I am so…read morehappy that I was recommended to visit Lucas by a friend of mine. He helped me finally get the proper diagnosis (an MRI which no one has previously recommended showed a slight disc bulge), and then after a round of much needed steroid treatment he gave me the tools to move forward in a way that was smart and helpful and has relieved about 90% of my pain and made movement and exercise bearable again. It's astonishing to me how much bad information I got before seeing him, but I am grateful that I now have a highly skilled and super friendly therapist I can trust. Highly recommend!

That's actually why I started going to Lucas Hernandez Physical Therapy. I was misdiagnosed and mismanaged by several doctors and physical therapists for chronic knee pain. I found Lucas, and he was able to refer me to high quality doctors who finally figured out my problem. I ended up having knee surgery, and I was able to work one on one with Lucas to reach my personal goals. Because I had the full attention of Lucas, my questions were answered and my progress was steady. Now, I'm able to move and exercise without pain thanks to Lucas! I'd recommend him to anyone!

I've learned from past experience it helps if you trust your therapist and there is good communication between you. I found all that with Dr. Javin, plus a great sense of humor. PT is never fun, but it helps if you like the person who's working with you. Shout out to the terrific aides too. Much to my surprise, I headed back today for 12 weeks with a very painful neck problem. (yes, I had to wait over a month to get in) Very pleased to have met Dr. Bella, and getting to work with Dr. Javin again. The space & equipment is clean. Good music. Young patients and older patients so no one should feel out of place. Front desk really tries to help you. Yes, you get charged if you cancel with less than 24 hour notice. Small parking lot but workable. In a restaurant-fillled stretch of Hillhurst in Los Feliz.

SHADY AND IMCOMPETENT! I came down with what I thought were…read moreallergies but turned out to be a severe cold. Congested chest, sinus and head that were going to prevent me from doing ANY exercise from proper ability to breath. Upon leaving the doctor's office I called MOTI 20 hours prior to my appointment. In spite of my best effort to cancel, they told me they would charge me a 75 dollar cancellation fee. Pretty outrageous for a company that that is soooo booked up if you do not reserve your appointments 3-4weeks a head of desired schedule has to put you on a waiting list. Now what exactly is a waiting list, but an opportunity for them to book you ASAP while no doubt charging cancellation fees while booking a replacement appointment! So let me make this EXTREMELY CLEAR. They had the entire afternoon to call the many patients they have on their waiting list to book the appointment. Case in point they called me once to take a cancellation appointment within much less than 24 hours. Are you people for real??? I suppose they would have preferred I put everyone at risk of catching my cold, since in order to get whatever breath I could in and out of my system a mask would have been impossible to perform the exercises. So I guess they would rather get the entire staff and other patients sick rather than waive their cancellation fee. Let's be clear here; This is is a case of profit over treatment. They'll charge you a cancellation fee, then turn around and book your cancelled slot and make even more money that way. So I showed up signed in for my appointment PAID the co-payment, and walked out, cancelling myself from the waiting and they STILL called me to let me know they would charge me the cancellation fee. Pretty gutsy. BUT WAIT.. THERE IS MORE!! And I guess I am not the only one who has experienced the other shenanigans at MOTI. While my allocated physical therapist was good, within 15 minutes of an appointment, I was passed on to an assistant who may or may not have the proper training to assist in your treatment. A moot point anyway because the vast majority of the time they are not even close to you to pay attention to proper performing of your movement, which is vital for your healing (in my case, arthritis in both knees, with the right knee being particularly painful). At times, you'll find yourself looking around to get their attention. Need I say more? Naturally, they'll be more than happy to blow sunshine up your rear end, telling you how soo seriously they take your comments, but rest assured that they will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about any of them!

Sharon is fantastic. I initially went to see her because I knew I was carrying around lots of…read moretension that was sucking away all my energy and leaving me sore and achey. I had read up on AT and how a teacher can teach you to walk, stand, breathe, sit, and just overall move better. Sharon has totally changed the way I move my body, and even how I use my camera for my videography work. While the biggest physical change has been in my energy levels (so so much better now), the most profound one was in noticing just how much anger and tension I have been carrying around. There were multiple sessions where a bunch of deep seated anger came up, and she noticed it right away and handled it with such compassion and kindness. I had massive releases of anger after those sessions that have left me much more peaceful. She has such a beautiful presence and is so incredibly patient. She also loves to laugh and be a goofball which makes the sessions so enjoyable. The biggest takeaway I want to share is trust the process. It all sounds kinda wonky learning how to move/breathe/sit differently at first, and if you are like me, the magic might not happen until halfway through, so don't give up on yourself. It will be worth it. She has given me the foundation I needed to continue to make progress in all areas of my life. Thank you, Sharon!

I started seeing Sharon some years ago to help me with a persistent pain in my hip and the lessons transformed this pain! I've continued working with her off and on over the past few years and she has helped learn how to work on the computer in a way that doesn't cause wrist pain, reduced my anxiety, and helped me to appear and sound better on camera. I resisted working with her virtually when Covid began, but after I tried it I was surprised at how helpful and effective this was too. I don't think it's any less effective than the in-person sessions. Actually, in some ways it is better because I don't have to take the time to drive to her studio.

I went to Kathryn on a strong recommendation and as promised, she changed everything about my body. Especially my relationship to my body, which I was worried was breaking down and never going to heal.

She is so educated, patient, gentle, fun, and clearly loves to teach and help people. She also gives helpful advice about walking, sitting, using my muscles in ways that help support my alignment. I recommend her highly, eagerly and passionately.

Now other people are starting to comment on the positive changes in my appearance, too. Rolfing itself isn't always a pleasant experience (my own sensitive areas include my calves, shins, and ankles), but Kathyrn will always do her best to make you as comfortable as possible. She is a wealth of dietary knowledge as well. At our first appointment, she pointed out that a lot of my symptoms indicated I might have a gluten allergy, and after one month of going gluten-free, I actually feel remarkably better (more energetic, less joint pain and overall tenderness) and I've gone for the first month of my adult life without a migraine. Yay! If you want to feel better, don't wait: schedule an appointment now. Your health is worth the money.
