I saw the owner/operator, Michael McKindley. He treated me with physical therapy for bilateral SI joint instability I had for many years. He then referred me to a physician who treats this issue by using non-surgical interventions to tighten and strengthen the SI ligaments. Each time I was scheduled to see the physician for the non-surgical intervention procedure, I would see Michael first that same morning to ensure that my SI joints were in alignment and ready for the procedure prior to driving to the procedure location. It has been 3 years since and I have not had any residual issues. I have never felt better and stronger. So glad I found him!! Liza F. read more

Quality service and therapy! The only place to go for proper treatment. Pre or post op therapy is amazing! The Dr's and techs are top quality. The office staff helpful and gets you scheduled so you can get back to your life asap! read more

Amazing! Michael is the absolute best PT. Been to four other offices and nobody compares to PPT. They truly believe in finding the root cause and working on alignment which not many focus on. read more

Progressive PT has literally saved my life. If it weren't for Michael and his knowledge, expertise and kind heart I don't know if I'd be walking. He has worked with me over the years post a traumatic injury and if you need hope, see Michael. Thank you Michael for caring for me enough to put up with me and my disability and challenges. I know I'm not the "normal" patient but I can give hope to so many to find you. Not your traditional PT. Michael knows more than my orthopedic doctors. read more

After so many failed pt therapists I experienced I finally found a place that has actually helped me find the issue , heal and feel better . I was recommended by my pain management Dr to come to progressive and see PT Michael . Michael is extremely knowledgeable and spend his time trying to figure out where your pain is coming from . I actually look forward to coming to my appointments because after every visit I immediately feel better. The front desk is also so friendly and helpful . They call me for any cancellations and are very accommodating. I can't say enough good things about this place . I'm so grateful I was referred here and I'm looking forward to feeling like myself again . read more

Front desk from HELL, It's unfortunate that the care for patients has gone downhill due to the front office staff being rude and lacking the people skills needed to interact with patients. I sat in the waiting area for 20 minutes canceled 2 appointments with potential clients for my small business to try and make my Physical Therapy. If you are looking for friendly, caring staff go elsewhere, I cannot imagine myself or my staff treating our clients in this manner. The texting system they use does not work to notify you for upcoming appointments like all other medical offices do and i have never had a problem with. I let them know about this glitch and they pretty much called me a liar. When i asked them to text me right there and then in the office to prove my point, all of a sudden they did not know how to use the texting system. Today on my second visit they stated they had dropped me as a patient for missing a visit without even notifying me I guess they are too busy to pick up the phone! I'm a busy business owner here in costa mesa and have gone to these guys before after my ACL basketball injury it's unfortunate that due to the front staff the business owner Micheal will lose business not only my future business but from other friends and family I have referred to them over the years. It pains me to leave a one star review but people should be aware of the front office staff. Not that they care due to most of the referrals coming from Drs. offices. I felt the need to express my experience today due to the lack of empathy for myself as a patient and even when I let them know I had no other options currently for physical therapy their attitude was not our problem. read more

I highly recommend this PT practice. It was easy to get an initial appointment and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Michael was excellent. He took time to carefully explain his diagnosis, how long the healing would take and how I could help it along. I needed 4 f/u appointments within a few weeks and they were easy to book and the people I worked with were great. I was very impressed with my experience at this clinic. read more

As I came to the end of my long rehab after back surgery, Michael and his staff were very patient with my questions and concerns about continuing my exercises and stretching at home and what symptoms is should be worried about. They made sure I knew they would be there if problems came up. After working with him on several different orthopedic problems over the years, I highly recommend Michael McKindley. read more

Michael completely changed my life! I had lived with chronic back pain for five years. He was my 8th physical therapist in one year. I had tried Accupunture and multiple chiropractors. I had also had two epidurals in six months and my back doctor was recommending I see a surgeon. Michael fixed that within a few months and I haven't been back in over a year. I don't need to see anyone for back pain. I was afraid to stop seeing him because I thought the pain would come back but it hasn't. I really can't thank him enough. read more

I went to Michael who was a recommendation from a physician at my husband's work. I had horrible rib pain and pain down my abs and back that really was ruining my quality of life (I couldn't even sleep) . I saw so many doctors including an expert chiropractor and had so many tests and within ONE session michael found the problem and fixed it. My pain dissipated about 80% by the end of the day. Over the next few months it got better and better. I cannot tell you how good this place is , I am so lucky I found someone as knowledgeable as Michael . I couldn't recommend him enough. read more

I have been a patient on and off for several years and believe they are the best in helping you get back to normal function in whatever body part is the issue. Thorough and always helpful on getting you moving as quickly as possible! read more

I climb in a gym and practice jiujitsu every week, also I'm the designated heavy-object-mover in my household. As you would expect, there's a lot of strain on my joints, especially my knees. Thankfully, I found my way to Progressive, via one of my fellow climbers, who I am honored to also now have as my physical therapist. Ann worked with me carefully to identify the cause of my knee pain, craft a plan to get it back in shape, and grind out the knots and scar tissue that limit my movement. It's been a few weeks of therapy and I notice a significant difference in my mobility and decrease in pain levels. Looking forward to doing pistol squats again soon! Also the staff is very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. read more

This place has been wonderful for my recovery! I was in tremendous back and hip pain and after a few weeks at Progressive, I'm almost 100% healthy again. My physical therapist Michelle is fantastic. She immediately knew what was wrong and has worked hard to help me recover. The therapy assistants are great at helping me with my exercises and stretches. And, the front desk staff is friendly and efficient. I hope I won't need physical therapy again, but if I do, you bet I'll make the 20 minute commute here again. read more

This place is great! They are kind, caring and knowledgeable! I was looking for physical therapy for my back and had just started calling around. Spoke to Alix who set me up for my first appointment but for the next month's as well (they book fast and she was thinking ahead!). Met with Stanley for PT and he was knowledgeable not only addressing my initial issue but also "connecting the dots" to my other issues and managing as a whole. Location is easy (for me) and the setting is well organized and clean. Couldn't ask for better! read more

I highly recommend this location for P.T., I have been fortunate to have Stanley Fung, DPT as my therapist. Stanley goes above & beyond, he is caring and makes sure my needs are met!! Everyone there works so well together, all of the assistants, Sara, Max, Bella, Frankie and Samantha are very helpful, they ensure I do my therapy as indicated by Stanley. Front office staff are great also!! I have felt comfortable going during Covid, the facility is very clean and sanitized often!!! read more

After going to many physical therapists, I finally found help at Progressive. Michael has done an amazing job helping me return to my life after back surgery & nerve damage. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, but compassionate & caring too. He has definitely gone above & beyond what I would expect from at pt. I am so grateful & highly recommend Progressive. The pt assistants & staff are excellent as well! read more

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. I've been working with Stanley, for the past couple of months, and he's helped immensely with my pelvis/hip pain. He's also kind and caring, and great at what he does. If you're looking for a wonderful physical therapy, look no further, because this is the best place around. I used to go to a different physical therapy, and they couldn't figure out in 18 months what Progressive figured out in one hour! read more

I am going to Ann at progressive physical Therapy in Costa Mesa I have a s I joint problem Diagnosed by doctor Kimberly safman at Newport orthopedic. I have been having issues since April of 2017. Thankfully I found doctor safman and she said this is the only place to go. Ann really knows what she is doing. I am feeling better even though I have only been there 3 times. She is hands on Thank you doctor safman and that you so much Ann I finally have hope Judy Fleming read more

The best physical therapy center! The staff and therapists are professional and take their time with you. and create a specific program for your needs. Thank you Michael and staff! read more

I came to PPT&R with a patella femoral pain syndrome diagnosis from an orthopedist, I had been limping around for almost a month, and I had a 200+ mile backpacking trip planned just 6 weeks out! Moyra gave me an in depth initial check-up, made sure to rule out as many things as possible, and began with an adjustment of my SI joint that immediately improved my pain symptoms. From there I came in approximately 3x/week. Moyra worked in depth with my muscles to remove scar tissue, continued to adjust my SI joint as necessary, gave me exercises that progressed as I became stronger, and when she was gone on vacation, Sean who took over for a week was completely up to speed on my case. Both Sean and Moyra were excellent at answering questions (I had a lot), would take the time to check out certain joints I asked them to, and are just overall very pleasant and easy to be around. I saw consistent improvement throughout my time there (I should say also that I put in the work, making sure to consistently do the exercises at home I was supposed to), and I hiked 235 miles over 20 days, with greater than 46,000 feet in elevation gain (not to mention loss!), with no pain from my previous issue at all! Moyra also called me after my trip to make sure all was well. Front desk is very kind and easy to schedule with, also there are not penalties for missing an appointment. Assistants who work with you on stretching and exercises are professional, friendly, patient, and knowledgable. Great experience here :) read more

"Glad to be back" probably isn't the correct phrasing, but I'm a huge fan of the new space! Office is clean and inviting. Lots of light. Equipment is state-of-the-art. Convenient location, lots of parking. When all my spinning, running, surfing, power yoga-ing, 24-hour fitting, skiing, and general OCD-workout regimen (see reviews of local boutique workout establishments) leads me to the inevitable chronic overuse injury, there is no one I trust more than Michael, Jennifer, and the rest of the team at Progressive. They really know their stuff! Great friendly staff and quality personal attention. They take their time diagnosing you and let you know exactly what the treatment plan is and how they think you are progressing during and after each session. I've recovered from a number of chronic injuries thanks to the professionals at Progressive. I wouldn't trust anyone else to get me back in the game after an injury (pun intended). read more

Michael is the BEST physical therapist you could ever hope to work with. He evaluated me for vision vertigo and BPPV. Michael helped me to learn the eye exercises that gave me my life back again. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind and encouraging. I am incredibly grateful for his expertise and ability to help me get well again. I would not hesitate for a moment to highly recommend him to my friends or to come back personally for any other challenges in the future. Michael, thank you from the bottom of my heart!! read more

Brought my 75 year old mother-in-law with back and knee pain to see Jennifer last year, and over the following nine months Jennifer helped her tremendously. Jennifer and her team slowly introduced many great exercises that Mom could actually do, worked with us to make sure we could help Mom do them at home, and even had Mom see a knee surgeon once things didn't improve at the rate she was hoping (and the surgeon made the exact diagnosis Jennifer had predicted). Mom has some memory issues, and Jennifer and the whole staff were patient and wonderful with her. Scheduling appointments was incredibly easy. I've worked with multiple other PTs in the area, and Progressive has by far the most availability on short term notice. A few times we had to change appointments only a day or two in advance, and they always found room for Mom in their schedule. Billing was relaxed and easy. Nothing but great things to say about the entire staff there! read more

I had ACL and meniscus repair with a great surgeon at NOI in March 2017, and I was seeing a different PT group for about 6 months post-op. My progress had stalled, so when I saw my surgeon again for the 6 month checkup, he recommended I go to Michael McKindley at Progressive. I am SO grateful that I followed that suggestion! At our first meeting, Michael sat with me for about an hour describing what he thought the problems were and answered all my questions. He then worked on my knee capsule for about 5 minutes and got several degrees of range of motion that I had not had in months of work at the other PT facility! No one at the other PT facility even mentioned the capsule could be an issue. That's when I knew I had found my PT! I travel for work, so I ended up working with Michael, Sean, and Moira to fit my schedule. All were excellent, and most importantly they communicated with each other so that my care was coordinated and never skipped a beat! I ended up having to have another knee scope to clean out all the scar tissue accumulated from the first 6 months of not making progress, but Michael and the Progressive team were there for me through the entire process. It was a lot of work to get and keep that range of motion, but they got me to the finish line! I now have full range of motion, and I have Michael and the Progressive team to thank for giving me my knee back! Thank you all! My surgeon said to me "For most patients the choice of PT doesn't matter as long as they are credible and the patient does the work. Some patients, however, have complications for any number of reasons, and for those people the choice of PT is CRUCIAL." Apparently, he sends those patients (like me) to Michael. If you want to save yourself the trouble of second surgeries, pain, time, and expense, you might want to consider going to Michael and the Progressive team first. read more

I love this place! I have worked with 2 physical therapists here, Ann and Moira and I cannot recommend both of them enough. Incredibly knowledgeable women who are both perfectionists at what they do- which is exactly the attitude I want with anyone working on body! read more

Michael is an expert at fixing SI joint issues. My orthopedic doctor referred me to him a few years back and he has been fixing me ever since that time. I am a runner and "overdoer" in my 50's so Michael puts my SI joint back in place. He develops a therapy program to get the joint stable again which will hold it until I do something stupid again. I am now working with a trainer at the facility to enhance my core stability and keep me on track. This office has a great team of people that are upbeat, positive and encouraging. I almost hate it when I am all better because I miss the "good vibes". I have been to other places where the employees are just going through the motions but this place the whole staff really cares about the patients. read more

I have been dealing with lower back pain for years. I have been to numerous doctors and numerous physical therapists but nothing has ever worked for me long-term. That is until now. I went to Dr. Safman at Newport Orthopedics and she sent me specifically to Michael McKindley at Progressive for SI joint and disc issues. I was skeptical because of my previous experiences with physical therapy, but agreed to give it a go. This physical therapy facility is different from any that I have visited in the past. I knew on my first visit that this was going to be different. Not only is everybody who works there professional, friendly and encouraging but the amazing results make rating Progressive Physical Therapy at the highest rating, easy. I can't thank Michael and Christian enough for changing my life. read more

Progressive Physical Therapy and Rehab - Michael and Christian at Progressive Physical Therapy. - Physical Therapy Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Unfortunately, I've been too many PT facilities, and I have to admit this is the best one hands down. The entire staff is fabulous. Michael and Moira are the only ones that have treated me, but I tell you, they are great. From the front desk to the assistants working their way up, you can't go wrong here. read more

For the last year I have been treated by Moira and the staff. They are by far the best physical therapy group in Southern California. Due to their work on and with me I finished ahead of schedule and 100% recovered. They rehabbed my shoulder after torn rotator cuff and labrum surgery and work on my knee. I have no pain at all due to their program. I've been to a number of P.T. In the last thirty years and they are the best. I highly recommend them. read more

The whole Progressive team is fantastic! This has been my second home for almost a year as Laurie's care and expertise, aided by a fun and helpful staff, have nursed me back to health through a dislocated shoulder and pre- and post-surgery recovery. Many are intimidated by physical therapy, but here the atmosphere is always positive and welcoming. I felt so comforted in the detailed attention paid to my progress along the way. Laurie, Jennifer, and the team always provided honest and helpful advice and encouragement. Thank you so much guys!! I highly recommend Progressive to those needing all stages of PT. read more

I was a client of Progressive Physical Therapy on two separate occasions, rehabbing foot post surgery and a shoulder issue. I worked with many of the therapists while I was there and they are all friendly and professional. The environment was always clean and welcoming. I'd definitely recommend Progressive PT to anyone seeking physical therapy. read more

I am so glad that my wife has found this PT place. Michael, the owner, is a specialist in Parkinson's disease as well as orthopedic care. He is able to taylor the care to all of my wife's complex needs. Their staff is very helpful and understanding. Another benefit is the care plan/suggestions they provide for care at home. My son also had a very positive experience with them after his ASL repair. I certainly would recommend them to family and friends. read more
