Since February/March of this year my shoulder issues went from random pain to full blown forzen shoulder. After their assessment, I had an EMTT and Shockwave initial session that offered a free one-hour Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. From the initial improvement I experienced I signed up to their package deal where I get both ShockWave and EMTT regenative therapy. My range of motion has improved greatly and the immense pain has significantly reduced. I have two more therapy sessions left. You have nothing to lose to check them out and if you do take the package deal, do not forget to do the exercises suggested if you want to improve. The EMTT and Shockwave help; BUT do your exercises and PT at home.

I came to HealthFit because I was dealing with chronic hip and knee pain. I'm at a pivotal age…read morewhere I needed to either fix the problem or prepare for invasive medical intervention down the road. Cheri came highly recommended and it was clear from our first session that she really takes the time to figure out and understand what my body was doing and why I was experience the pain that I was feeling. She took the time to evaluate how my whole body was moving and identified several body mechanic and movement issues that were contributing to the problem. We started off with basic exercises that set the stage for more complex ones as I progressed. HealthFit has systems in place to make sure that when you're at home doing your exercises, you have video references with detailed explanations on how to do each exercise properly. After each week, little by little, things started to change. And then there came that moment when everything clicked and started to change! I've noticed a huge improvement not only in pain reduction, but also in my overall stability, balance, and strength. Cheri has given me the tools to break my body's bad habits. I highly recommend working with Cheri to anyone dealing with chronic pain, movement issues, or sports-related injuries. Cheri is thoughtful, knowledgeable and genuinely cares about helping her patients improve long term.

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. In the second visit he freed up my ribs from tightness caused by double mastectomy scar tissue. I couldn't breathe properly for years. Two visits. 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. If you're considering making the drive and investment do it.

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.

It can be really intimidating to find the right Physical Therapist. How do you decide? What makes a…read moregreat PT and how do you find them when it seems like there are so many options. I had been in ankle pain for more than a year....but I did what so many of us do, I put it off, I pushed through. I climbed Mt. Whitney (after climbing all the highest peaks in Southern California) and pushed through it until I couldn't push through it anymore. Running (one of my favorite forms of exercise) was now off the table. I needed help. I sat down with a list of Physical Therapists and started calling and when I spoke to Carolyn - she listened - she asked questions and she genuinely seemed to care. After listening to me she knew I had to get in to see Dr. Maddie and she made it happen. I booked an appointment and then received my welcome packet. It was thorough and helpful and I knew what to expect before I walked into my first appointment. Maddie listened and committed to making a plan to get me back to all of my favorite activities and then she dug in and she worked hard for me and felt invested in my recovery. I can not overstate the value of the 1:1 experience. When you're working with Dr. Maddie you have her full attention and your therapy is tailored to your needs. She answers questions and keeps you informed so that you can be partners in your recovery. She uses an app to provide your home exercise routine and she adapts as needed. I was also pleasantly surprised when I was sent home with the things I needed to do my home exercises, at no extra charge! The attention to detail from Elevated Physical Therapy is unparalleled as is the level of care you'll receive from the whole team. My experience then led my husband to working with Dr. Maddie too. I've been able to return to hiking, playing tennis and running without pain! And I know Elevated PT will be there for me if I need anything in the future.

I was recommended to Dr. Maddie by Dr. Jason Khadavi (also a great podiatrist)…read more I went to Maddie with a foot injury that was already over a year old and prevented me from walking/exercising normally. She was HIGHLY personalized and customized the plan to me, asking about and working with what my goals were at the end of treatment. I had 9 sessions total and those sessions went by really fast. Each session was a balance of PT massage(?) and physical exercises. They were varied and interesting, so I looked forward to each session as it didn't feel like a chore. In addition, there's a companion mobile app where you get daily exercises (with video demonstrations!) to do at home. You also have direct text messages with the receptionist, Carolyn, who is very responsive and such a rarity to find in healthcare. I'm so grateful to Maddie and Carolyn for getting me back to being MOBILE again! I cannot recommend them enough.

They offer three modalities: the Normatec compression boots, the Celluma red light therapy, and the Hypervolt percussion massage combined with assisted stretching. My favorite is the compression boots. After a long hike or run, the compression therapy makes my legs feel amazing! Decreased soreness and tightness. The room is clean, relaxing, and easy to book. If you're on the fence, just try one session in the Wellness Room. Highly recommend Body Synergy for anyone looking for both quality physical therapy and top-notch recovery care.

Worth every penny, truly.

The care and attention the team gave me was outstanding. I worked with Lauren, who took her time to listen to all my issues, investigate thoroughly what might be going on, and to work with me to help relieve the source of the pain. I particularly appreciated that she would dive deep in medical concepts and really explain where the pain was coming from. Unfortunately we only had a few sessions together because... I felt better very quickly! Lauren set up detailed long-term care information for me, and I'm sure I'll be back in the future if I have any other injuries! Other notes: scheduling is easy via text/ phone, parking is super simple and free, they offer early morning and late afternoon appointments which make it easy with work schedules.

Scheduling is easy, the gym and rooms are clean. Staff were all super friendly. I think what I love most is that some physical therapy offices have you see the PT for just a few mins and then they send you off to work with an aide or assistant. At LPI you stay with your PT the entire session. I plan to go back and do some check ins to hopefully prevent future issues or injuries.

My progress from first session to last was very significant and I now feel well equipped to continue the exercises and lifestyle choices to eliminate my issues entirely. Highly recommended.
