I recently started working with The Movement Schopp and wanted to share my experience so far…read more I came in dealing with a disc herniation at L5-S1 that I've had for about seven years. It was debilitating at first, and since then I've managed it, with flare-ups every six months or so. Over the years, I've tried Cox technique, chiropractic care, disc decompression, stretch therapy, acupuncture, and more. Some of these helped, but nothing really addressed the root issue or provided lasting results. This most recent flare-up brought back persistent left-sided lower back and hip pain that would trigger with movements like bending, twisting, core activation, and even push-ups. At times it would "grab" or clench suddenly and affect my day-to-day movement. At that point, I had enough and decided I needed to get to the root of the problem, which I believed was tied to my posture and movement patterns. My initial evaluation with Dr. Geoff was very informative. He explained not just what was going on, but why, and identified issues with my core and pelvic stability that were causing other muscles to overcompensate. He gave me a clear plan with tools I could start using right away, which was very different from past experiences. After just two sessions, I already feel about 80 percent better. The clenching episodes have significantly decreased, and I feel much more stable and in control. That said, this only works if you put in the effort. I've been doing about an hour a day of the prescribed exercises, and that consistency is clearly driving the results. This isn't a passive treatment, they give you the tools, but you have to apply them. I appreciate that approach because it feels like a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix. I'll continue to update this review as I go through the program, especially once I complete the full treatment plan. So far, I've been very impressed and would definitely recommend The Movement Schopp if you're willing to put in the work.

For years as the caregiver/Nanny for my husband, he had at least 15 PTs at home and not one of them came close to Annemarie's talents and professionalism. Bottom line, with the toll on my body over the years taking care of my 200+ lb BFF, my body needed a complete makeover. Annemarie was found and the rest is in the making. In 10 sessions, Annemarie got me up and running so much better to include getting my mindset moving in the right direction. i.AthletePhysio is a wonderful company with such a caring and capable staff - you feel so welcomed every time you step in the door. If Annemarie is not available, I believe you will be in capable hands no matter who you get to help you. I wish i.AthletePhysio and the staff continued success and I will be back as soon as I can (Annemarie, save room for me!). Thank you for all of your support!

I'm not sure how it happened, it wasn't even an injury, I just found myself not being able to move with ease any longer. I had become very stiff. It's as if all the decades of sitting caught up to me. My lifestyle consists of working on a computer all day and I spend another three hours in the car commuting. I went to i.Athlete after failed attempts with conventional PT. I got frustrated because they could never get to the root of the problem. A friend told me about i.Athlete and I've been coming for over a year now and I'm extremely happy with the progress I've made. Without my prompting, I recently had my daughter even comment that I have better mobility. Even though I can now bend down with ease, I plan on continuing the work I started. Based on the results I've seen, I trust the team at i.Athlete to help me break the cycle of a sedentary lifestyle and guide me to build strength and endurance. The team is very knowledgeable, sincere, nice and professional. The atmosphere is clean and inviting. I appreciate the care and guidance I've received from i.Athlete - total pros!

I was having some recurring leg, shoulder, arm, and back issues that were affecting my quality of…read morelife, so I reached out to my PCP about physical therapy and they referred me to this place. A friend of mine told me that they had gone there before and filled me in on the best parts of what they have to offer. I was very excited to try it out and get relief from all the pain and tension in my body. However, I quickly realized that the expectations that I had in my head did not align with reality. The location itself is on the first floor of a building and to enter the building (from the parking lot), you must go through a security checkpoint. They don't allow vapes, sharp objects, or metal canteens, so if you have any of these items, you will be forced to turn around and go back. Upon walking in, there is no signage indicating if there is a line or where to form one; when it's busy, there is a jumble of bodies you must try to navigate. There is seating around the walls, and it is usually loud in the reception area. If the receptionists aren't talking on the phone or amongst each other about their Starbucks order, you will have to try and force eye contact for assistance. When seeking assistance, if you interrupt them, you are treated like an annoyance. The whole experience felt overwhelming and the uncertainty of what to do or what to expect added to it. My first visit, Kash, a physical therapy student, was very nice. His instructions on what to do were clear and after he did an assessment and asked some questions, a plan for therapy was formed. When I finally returned for my second visit, this is where things got a whole lot more uncomfortable. I don't know why, but I had envisioned working one on one with a trainer. This was not the case. Apparently, when you are finished, you have to flag down one of their staff to be told what to do next. They started me on an arm machine by the wall, very close to the speaker and it was so loud, my ears were hurting. Thankfully, they turned it down. After starting some leg exercises with Kash, he stepped away. I assumed he would return but was unsure of when that may be. I continued my exercises and scanned the room for him. A short woman with fair skin and straight black shiny hair came up to me. "Are you done with the exercises?" she asked haughtily. "Oh, I was waiting for Kash, so I figured I'd just keep doing them until whatever is next." She grabbed the paper up from next to where I was sitting and said, "Well you need to let us know when you are done because we have things to do." I said "Oh, okay," and after she instructed me on what to do next, I spent the rest of the day wondering if I did or said anything that she may have taken offense to. After all my therapy was done for the day, I asked if she had a printout since I wouldn't remember the exercises. The same lady told me, "We don't do that here," very curtly and then walked away. I felt disheartened and wondered if I should even bother going back. After talking it over with a friend, we figured maybe she just had a bad day. This time, things seemed to mostly be ok, except it was jam packed with staff and patients. At some point, I was on the massage table, waiting for instructions on my next exercise when suddenly, the building got quiet and there was a large roar. A college basketball team on the television screen had scored a basket, and every single staff member on the floor abandoned what they were doing to huddle around the TV (it was March Madness). In all my time there, I felt that most of the staff were only engaged in talking with each other and that the customer service skills there were very lacking. At least this time, at the end of everything, Kash did give me a printout for some exercises. The final straw was when I missed a second visit. I had missed a visit before due to a pressing health issue I had to attend to. I had mentioned to one of the receptionists that I did not want to schedule an appointment before I left the country due to me possibly forgetting. She persuaded me to set one and then change it later, against my better judgment. Three weeks go by and I missed the appointment because, of course, I forgot to put it in my calendar and now someone from the office is calling me to tell me that I now have to speak to the manager and they can only accommodate me if I call in day-to-day. I have a literal disability that the staff should have been well aware of (I had written it down on my intake forms at the very beginning and mentioned it multiple times, to multiple staff) and none of their policies, procedures, or staff (except Kash) seem to accommodate a person like me. On top of that, I felt personally bullied by one of their team members on the floor. I thought about calling them to see if they could make this right, but I was on hold for about 10 minutes, which seems to happen pretty frequently. Overall, I am very disappointed. Gardena PT, do better!

Before I started therapy I called and told them I had a Humana Medicare PPO policy and a six month old list of in-network providers that listed their address and phone number, but did not specifically list their company name. I asked if they were still in network with Humana, was told that they were. I made an appointment and at the first session gave them my Humana insurance card and was charged the in-network copay of $10 for that session and eventually for the 7 sessions that followed. At the end of the 7th session, I was told that they were actually not in-network and that the copay was actually $45 per session. I called their billing office twice and asked to speak to someone about this. The first time I was told that someone would call me back in a few minutes...they didn't. A few days later I called again and was told that a manager would call me back in a few minutes...they didn't. I wrote them a letter explaining the problem and stated that I would not have had a single session with them had I been told that they were out of network...they didn't respond. Eventually I got a bill from them stating that I owed them $280. I wrote them another letter specifically disputing their bill. They ignored my letter and just sent me the same bill again the next month. All of the confusion stems from two issues. First, this facility was a different company in 2024 and at that time was in-network with Humana. Around that start of 2025, they were acquired by Calif Rehab and Sports Therapy, which is not in-network. Second, they do not have a dedicated front desk and whoever is not working with patients at the time does the check in. There does not appear to be a list of insurance companies for them to consult when someone checks in. Neither of the therapists I dealt with or their assistants knew that they were no longer in-network with Humana. They really need to decide if they want to stay in business. Unless or until they get their act together I would advise you to avoid dealing with them. In the mean time, I hope someone in management over there directs their billing office to fix this.

I now do indoor rock climbing with absolutely no issues. My carpal tunnel has improved greatly also! It's hard work and not painless at times. It's worth it to make sure my body is working the way it should be. The facility is clean and you can regularly see them clean it after each patient. It also doesn't smell like a medical facility at all. You are required to wash hands upon arrival which makes total sense. They are prompt and are mindful of your time to make sure that you end your session within the hour. Many times I've been asked if I have enough time for a treatment. It's easy to make appointments even with their long long wait list! At first you might not get the times and days you'd like since they're booked solid for weeks, but eventually booking ahead of time makes for an ideal schedule. They even have a wait list that they put you on to call when appointments get canceled and become available. Yes, they will call you as soon as something opens up! Never had a problem with billing here! They even check your insurance coverage for you and make sure you're getting the benefits you're covered for. To sum it all up, this is how every single medical facility should be run! Timely, easy to make appointments, personable staff and therapists that welcome you and make you feel at ease, and no crazy billing!

When one suffers any kind of injury, and its concomitant loss of the ability to engage in normal day-to-day activities, it takes both a physical and psychological toll. We go through our lives with the presumption that tomorrow will be just like today, and when there is a breakdown in that pattern, we have to entrust strangers to the task of helping us repair the damage and to return to our lives. I consider myself incredibly lucky that the staff of Sports and Spine Orthopedics was recommended to me for this purpose. After my surgery, my doctor informed me that not all therapists are created equal. Sadly, many places simply throw an ice pack on your injury, give you a couple exercises to do, and send you on your way. This almost guarantees your injury will never heal correctly, and your lifetime mobility will almost certainly be impacted. From day one, my therapist, Dr. Joy Puente, pushed me and ensured that although the process wasn't a physically pleasant one, it was necessary and she made me feel very comfortable pushing my body where it needed to go. She was not just an incredible therapist, but she always maintained a strong sense of oversight over all of the events occurring on the floor. Even though she might be working with me, she was constantly aware of other patients, and other employees. She provided guidance, and ensured that others were given gentle correction if an exercise was off or being done incorrectly by a patient. It's the little things that separate the average from the superb. She is a wonderful leader, therapist, and person. I'd like to acknowledge some of the other employees as well. Ashlee was the first face I would generally see upon arriving for my appointments. She always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. One day I heard her recounting a story for a client who pointed out her bubbly personality. She told him that her mother had told her, "Nobody who comes to a hospital wants to see a frown on an employee," or words to that effect. It is words of wisdom such as this from our parents that set us out on our path into this world to become valuable employees, friends, and civic minded citizens. She's a wonderful young lady. The world needs more smiles and kind words for those in need of them. Big shout out to Marco, Diego, and Katherine (Catherine, Kathryn?). Each of these employees helped me on numerous occasions, even though the floor was busy, they painstakingly and caringly helped me with my exercises, and made sure I wasn't cheating. As our coaches once taught us, when we cheat, we're only cheating ourselves. God bless each of them for their kindness and care. In short, I was given excellent attention and, in a small way, wished that my sessions did not come to an end. These therapists are often tasked with working with some difficult clients, and they also have to listen to some very personal life stories. Part of their job, although certainly not in their job description, is to provide some "pastoral care," to these men and women, many of whom are elderly. The care they give is an excellent manifestation of the corporal works of mercy which we are called to provide to our fellow brothers and sisters. If you're still reading, I hope that this review has properly acknowledged and lauded those who helped me get back into the gym and back to work. My shoulder is back to its full range of movement, and I'm even "pre-habilitating" my other one. I wish all of the employees at this office the best and may each of you who read this who are recovering from surgery be returned to your former active lifestyles.

There ended up being a small snafu with the requested test not being available for me at the lab, but his staff did all they could to assist me with still trying to get it done. After several attempts to get the correct test for me on hand, I sadly had to leave without accomplishing the objective. But the funny part was that I just see this as I will have another chance to see the smiling faces of the Sports & Spine staff again in another week when the test does become available for me. The staff is so welcoming that it is actually a doctor office that I look forward to visiting, and for that I say THANK YOU! Thank you for making me feel seen and heard. And thank you so much for keeping me calm as I navigate the difficult waters of back pain. I appreciate all that your office does for me and others.
