Unfortunately, after two previous good experiences with Athletic PT, this most recent time isn't going well, and I'm going to be making a change. After Covid, this particular location gave up about half of its previous space, making what remains feel small; even claustrophobic. I don't care for all the patients being almost on top of each other in the back treatment room. Going through physical therapy feels like it should be a private experience, or at least semi-private. At this stage of my life, I don't enjoy being cheek and jowl with other patients. They have also cut the amount of time spent with each patient, which surprised me, and not in a good way. There's also a lot of noise happening - the music is loud, and the therapists and their assistants are making chit-chat talk with each other. It wasn't relaxing to be in that environment. This makes me sound like a crotchety old lady, but I think that a Zen-like environment might be more healing than a Gold's Gym (not to pick on them, per se) kind of work-out shop. When I walked out of the first hands-on appointment I told Dear Hubby that it didn't go very well, and in fact was causing pain in my lower back that I hadn't had when I went in to work on my knee. I spoke with several friends who've been through PT to rehab from surgeries and they urged me to move on if I'm not feeling comfortable. I expect that Athletic PT does good things for many others, but in it's current incarnation, and my current physical state, it's not a good fit for me.

I was evaluated for ongoing, debilitating knee pain that has significantly affected my mobility and…read moredaily functioning. Despite MRI findings that documented clinically significant relevant abnormalities, Dr. Hartman repeatedly described the imaging as "normal" and dismissed my concerns without providing a medically supported rationale. The consultation did not include adequate discussion or review of the imaging or imaging results, potential diagnoses, or an evidence-based treatment plan. When I expressed that I was experiencing 10/10 pain and asked how I was expected to function, Dr. Hartman responded, "Well, I come to work with 10/10. I guess it depends on the person." This comment felt extremely condescending and clinically inappropriate. At no point did he assess how the pain was affecting my ability to walk, work, sleep, or perform basic daily tasks. Instead, he referenced anecdotal stories about his brother and a prior patient, which were neither relevant nor helpful. Dr. Hartman attributed the pain solely to fibromyalgia despite the following issues: * The pain is highly localized to my knees rather than widespread. * It does not resemble my typical fibromyalgia pain. * The MRI report included findings that reasonably correlate with mechanical or structural knee pain. His refusal to acknowledge or meaningfully address these findings resulted in inadequate assessment and left me without a clear diagnosis or appropriate follow-up plan. The care provided did not meet clinical expectations and left me feeling dismissed, invalidated, and unsupported. I have filed a formal grievance with Blue Shield and Ventura Orthopedics.

My acupuncturist was able to tell me what's going on after a short evaluation. - Doc made me return and pay a second copay for a full evaluation because he refused to assess more than two body parts per visit, even though everything is connected and related - Front desk (quite grumpy) refused to schedule my third appointment stating there was an insurance issue; we were told it's a training matter when we escalated Too many issues!

When you enter Body Mechanix in Simi Valley, the first thing you see is a sign on your left with a…read moreshort dedication honoring the founders composed by their successors Blake and Taylor Carney. Its message concerns perpetuating a tradition of exceptional service to the medical profession using evidence-based techniques and dedicating time to every patient, each of whom is to be served with compassion and integrity. The message may commemorate the original owners but is true about Blake and Taylor and two therapists who work with them, Andy Macdonald and Erik Iversen. Even if Blake and Taylor and their team may not work any actual miracles, the halt and the lame heal. I've seen it. In my own case a very rare, incurable genetic disease weakens my muscles by counteracting innervation and disabling the systems that keep a healthy person on balance. All Blake and Taylor can do for me is teach me exercises that counteract the steady weakening of my muscles and help me practice balancing. I'm more able to regain my balance and much stronger and more balanced than I was when I began working with them--much. Still, as my nerves continue to degenerate I must keep doing therapy indefinitely into the future. Attending every week, I see other patients progress. People in wheelchairs stand up and walk. People barely able to lift their feet step over obstacles. People who cannot stand without a walker start pedaling an exercycle or pushing a leg press. Blake and Taylor begin with each patient where that patient is: when I began with them, I couldn't trust myself to land safely if I jumped even slightly. I still will never dunk, but I can leap. And all of this progress proceeds in an air of relentless positivity and encouragement. The trainers are encouraging and helpful, the office staff is helpful and encouraging, everyone is just positive throughout. Nothing is ever said except to achieve progress. The work is hard for me and others, but we push ourselves cheerfully because Blake and Taylor create an atmosphere that sustains us. I tripped once--Blake left his own feet diving under me to cushion my fall. Could I have six stars, please? Or maybe twenty? It's that good.

Their approach of educating and therefore empowering the patient on proper body movements is refreshing. My husband recently fractured his ankle and there was no doubt on who he would be seeing for this physical hiccup. I have come a long way since the start of my treatment in mid March.
