    This place will absolutely change your life…read more I first went to Physical Therapyworks 15 years ago - my back was killing me because I sit at a desk all day. After 10 sessions, my back pain was completely gone and they'd given me a list of stretching exercises that I have done twice a day every day since then. I went back to Physical Therapyworks a few weeks ago. I'm 65 now and my lower back aches every morning when I get up. I was afraid this would be my permanent condition. But Michelle diagnosed me and showed me new stretches I needed to add to my daily routine. Then I had 10 sessions with Brit, who made sure I was doing the stretches correctly and getting to the right muscle groups. 6 weeks later, my back pain is gone and I feel like myself again. This place is truly transformative. I can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you, Michelle and Brit, you have changed my life.

John's attention and understanding of my problem is excellent; his hands-on approach is sensitive to my limitations, yet he challenges me to advance. In just this month, my range of motion has increased tremendously and I am excited to continue on this journey to full recovery. Thank you to John and his staff for all your help.

His office is conveniently located at 7th and Broadway in Santa Monica, and sometimes you can find parking in the building garage, which is a plus. When I met Gadi, he had a calm, welcoming presence and immediately started asking thoughtful questions about my concerns. He explained the Strain Counterstain method, and what was amazing was that during the treatment I not only felt relaxed, but actually started yawning as my body shifted from a sympathetic to a parasympathetic state. What stood out the most for me is how gentle the technique is. It is completely different from the deep tissue massages I had been getting without much improvement. The idea that you do not have to force things, and that the body can benefit from simply relaxing, was eye-opening. I left feeling better and with a new appreciation for how powerful gentle treatment can be. I have now returned several times and Gadi, the ever patient teacher, has been helping me learn how to perform my own psoas muscle release. I have had much less pain, improved mobility and am very grateful for what he does and who he is. I doubt many people have tried or even heard of this technique, and it is a shame, because it is amazing. I hope you try this out.

The experience was wonderful, and Mr. Kaufman was incredibly kind and did an amazing job making me feel safe and comfortable throughout the session. He worked on several spasm points and helped release tension in my body, which was fascinating because I could immediately feel relief from the pain I had been carrying. The office space is small, so I wouldn't recommend bringing children if you're planning to receive treatment. Overall, a 10/10 experience!!!

    Postureworks Physical Therapy is THE go-to clinic for movement retraining and pain management…read morefocused help. They started my treatment by quantifying imbalances with a proprietary series of motion tests captured and analyzed in real time. They used the results and my doctor's suggestions to curate a sustainable pre and post operation rehabilitation program that fit me. I required custom at-home regiments to improve hip, spine, neck, and ankle mobility on top of recovering from knee surgery. Kathleen delivered this for me along with masterfully employing their Redcord technology during in-person sessions. She has an incredible ability to create intuitive movement cues that stuck in the outside world (I highly recommend her). The NEUBIE system combatted pain and ensured that I improved every session. Finally, Lisa Marie helped me submit out-of-network claims that got partially re-imbursed! This was a huge savings for me, along with my ability to exercise again! Thank you Kim!

Just days before I was scheduled for surgery, I decided to give Dr. Carr's therapy a chance. She cured/healed my knee and now--a decade later--it remains fine. Further, my involvement with full-contact Martial Arts and training/completing ten marathons exposed me to unique injuries. I gladly credit Dr. Carr for PT mastership on my back, shoulder, and two toe injuries. Do yourself a huge favor, visit Dr. Carr as part of your decision process when considering treatment options.

    Surgery, avoided!…read more Dr. Carr is an outstanding physical therapist who is knowledgable, intuitive, and caring. I had a great experience working with her as she helped me recover and regain full function after my injury. While practicing with my Division 1 tennis team, I suffered a complete (non retracted) tear to my ACL along with a meniscus tear and bone bruising. After scheduling ACL surgery, I needed to select a physical therapy provider to work with pre and post surgery. Having had my share of sports-related injuries over the years, and experiencing insurance-driven overcrowded PT facilities, I was looking for a PT who offered a more integrated and personalized approach for my pre-hab, and re-hab. Then I found Dr Carr via her website. Dr Carr's therapy practice is a soothing boutique-style space to heal. Her range of modalities are gentle, and the re-training exercises she prescribes are effective. She is also a walking encyclopedia on nutrition and supplements. She is the picture of health, so she walks the talk. As my surgery date approached, the thought of surgery and my ACL being replaced by a cadaver tendon freaked me out so much that I cancelled my ACL/ meniscus surgery. But I continued therapy with Dr. Carr. Dr. Carr suggested I might seek a second opinion and look into stem cell/PRP regenerative treatment. I was interested, so she referred me to a leading functional medicine doctor. Long story short, I was a candidate for the procedure, and it was a success! My follow-up MRI revealed my ACL was intact and the meniscus was healed! The combo of the procedure and Dr Carr's treatments and exercises got me back to playing tennis again. P.S.: Since the ACL journey went so well, I decided to have the stem cell/PRP procedure done for a chronic foot issue I had been living with for years. Again, under Dr Carr's care, she guided me through the healing process and I am back to doing the activities I love.

From the beginning, he took the time to really listen and understand what I was going through. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and is deeply committed to helping them get better. He has a great balance of honesty and motivation. He's straightforward about the work that needs to be done, but he encourages you in a way that makes you feel supported every step of the way. His calm energy also makes you feel heard and immediately puts you at ease. The entire environment here is also incredibly warm and welcoming. The therapists clearly know each other well and have real relationships with one another, which creates such a positive and supportive atmosphere. You can feel that sense of community the moment you walk in. If you're looking for a hand therapist who is knowledgeable, patient and truly invested in your recovery, Paul is someone you'll be very grateful to work with.

    Highly recommend this practice!…read more Following surgery for a fractured scaphoid bone in my wrist, my surgeon referred me to Hands On OT. I was assigned to work with Lori, who was excellent -- experienced, knowledgeable and informative. She helped me improve my strength, flexibility, and movement in my hand/wrist/fingers, using heat, exercises, and cold. I went 2x/week for several months before eventually tapering down to 1x/week. I kept requesting my doctor's office renew my OT order because I found the guidance there so helpful, and the atmosphere so friendly. (All the staff seemed equally caring and skillful.) Note: This small homey office is located in a converted ground floor apartment of a vintage 2-story apartment building (about a block from the Santa Monica beach, south of Pico Blvd.) I was always able to find a metered parking space within about a 5-min walk for my apointments (Mon-Thur afternoons.)
