Pasadena Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: Here is part 2 of my review since the first one was too long to contain in one post. Dr Wise, the on site optometrist, created a new prescription for me that shifted my visual perception to the left to prevent my eye from turning inwards to the right. I picked up my new prism glasses from the store the next day and was shocked. Placing my tongue on the roof of my mouth no longer caused my body to launch itself forward into forward head posture! I noticed while trying out the restaurants in Lincoln that it became easier for me to eat and even easier for me to speak. After addressing my vision the next thing they did was address my teeth. I met with Dr. Meagan Hungerford who collaborated with Jason Masek to create a splint for me called a MOOO which is designed to help me sense more of my left molars. These tools helped me perform the PRI exercises more efficiently and at the end of 3 days I made more progress with my breathing than I had in 3 years of pursuing sleep apnea surgeries. I came back home from Nebraska with a brand new understanding of myself and what my challenges were. I wasn’t completely fixed but the glasses and splint were able to restore a basic level of functionality to my life. I was finally able to get a job, pay off my medical debt, and my student loans. These were huge stepping stones for me because the complications I faced from jaw surgery were so severe they prevented me from starting my career. I continued to do the PRI exercises at home but progress was slow and I knew I needed to follow up with Loc to get reassessed. I didn’t see Loc again until June of 2024 almost a year and a half after our first initial appointment. I told him about my experience with the PRIME program and shared what I learned from Ron Hruska. Loc has been able to effectively guide me throughout my rehabilitation more efficiently thanks to the tools I received in Nebraska. I have been making progress much faster once I started seeing him regularly and performing the exercises he gives me at home. He has a way of identifying exactly what the problem areas are and it always surprises me how he seems to know it almost immediately. I didn’t think it would be possible for anyone to help me given the obscurity of the neuromuscular symptoms I had been dealing with but I was wrong. I’m beyond grateful to have Loc who is considered to be an elite PT even among the other practitioners. Most physical therapists give you exercises, stretches, or massages that may offer temporary relief but aren’t really addressing the root cause of the pain. PRI seeks to influence a persons underlying neurology by addressing sensory contributors to pain like your vision bite or feet. It honestly feels like magic to me at times. I can’t thank Loc enough because once you meet him you will understand that the guy is an absolute machine freak of nature when it comes to movement. If I could redo things over again I wish I could have came to him first.

Fantastic experience: I came to Dr. Loc after jaw surgery and tongue-tie release left me permanently unable to breathe and in excruciating pain. I was getting muscle spasms in my diaphragm and couldn’t even place my tongue onto the roof of my mouth without my body launching itself forward into forward head posture. I had previously gone through treatment for sleep apnea by a company called the Breathe Institute which ended horribly and left me with several neuromuscular complications with no clear explanation. I had already consulted with several neurologists, physical therapists, neurooptometrists and chiropractors at this point. I was really in a terrible place mentally, physically, financially and at the end of my rope. A myofunctional therapist named Kristie Gatto had once mentioned to me that it would be beneficial for me to see a PRI trained physical therapist. I remembered her advice and found Loc through the PRI website directory. I had seen so many great reviews from other clients and thought there was no way a physical therapist could be this great. I was wrong because Loc is in an entirely different league compared to other physical therapists I had seen previously. My first session with Loc was in November of 2022. We went over my patient history and discussed a plan for my treatment. He mentioned he had worked through many difficult cases throughout his career but that he was going to need some help with me. He recommended that I fly out to Nebraska to meet with Ron Hruska the creator of PRI and go through their PRIME program. He told me if I was his son he would send me there. I was initially discouraged but decided to trust Loc and made the flight to Lincoln, Nebraska in May of 2023. I’m happy I did because attending the PRIME program at the Hruska Clinic was the single best health care decision I made in my entire life. When I arrived at the Hruska clinic I consulted with Jason Masek and eventually met Ron Hruska. He put me in a room together with several of the other practitioners and told them to take notes. First he identified me as a strabismus patient. I had never disclosed any of my patient history to him, so it’s incredible he recognized this so quickly. I had strabismus surgery when I was four years old because my eye was crooked and my parents didn’t want me get bullied by the other kids when I started kindergarten. However, even though my eyes were cosmetically straight they were not functionally working together. Next he identified that I wasn’t sensing my left molars. He gave me a mouth guard to take me out of my bite and placed some spectacles in front of my eyes to shift my visual perception the left. He asked me to walk with him while biting on a wooden stick inserted between my left canines. I felt an immediate shift in my gait and walking felt effortless. I was shocked and realized at this point that I had probably never walked normally throughout my entire life. What started off a journey to address my breathing quickly evolved into a quest to relearn all of my basic motor skills. Ron compared me to a stroke patient and told me that my brain cannot sense the left side of my body. I needed to be guided while performing the PRI exercises because anything that required me to utilize the left side of my body I could not perform properly. Ron reminded me to not even think of my left side as my left because my brain doesn’t understand what “left” is. At one point Ron asked me to open my mouth and told his colleagues “This guy is choking on his tongue! He cannot breathe! You need to thank Loc for sending you here.” (Character limit reached so I will try to finish in another post)

Fantastic experience: IMPORTANT: IF A DOCTOR IS RECOMMENDING SURGERY TO YOU FOR SOME LOCOMOTIVE ISSUE, PLEASE CONSISER SEEING LOC FOR A SECOND OPINION FIRST. I saw 6 physical therapists through my health insurance and diligently did what they told me to do. It gave me no relief. I saw Loc once. He got me 90% relieved and it was such profound relief that I had a really profoundly emotional release in the middle of it. Following the exercises he gave me, I have had relief for years. I have recommended 3 or 4 people to Loc so far. Each of them have had similar experiences. Are you in chronic pain? Have your doctors and physical therapists been unable to help? Go see Loc. Nobody else compares.

Fantastic experience: I came to Dr. Loc with severe back pain and sciatica on my left side. I had been doing chiro, physical therapy, and acupuncture for 3 months with no results. The MRI showed a disc extrusion so the orthopedic surgeons did a steroid injection and again, no results. I went to Loc and he put me in new shoes right away. Such a "small" thing reduced my pain by ~30%, which after seeing no results for so long felt like a miracle. Then over the course of 4 months (1 visit every 2 weeks) he gave me exercises that slowly but surely brought my pain down to 0-1/10. The exercises didn't always make sense to me, but they worked, and I now have them in my toolkit if things ever start to flare up again. It was truly transformational. Before the back pain started my husband and I wanted to have a baby. Once the pain started we had to stop trying because I couldn't imagine what the added weight and delivery would do to my body. After going to Loc for 2 months, we decided to start trying again because I was feeling so much better and I'm now happy to be 6 months pregnant with no issues. Sessions are expensive, but for me it was worth it to get my life back. I was also paying close to the same amount when I added up more frequent Chiro, PT, and acupuncture copays. My PPO also did reimburse me ~$90 per session, which helped somewhat.

Fantastic experience: Locatelli at Pasadena PT was my savior in a very difficult and desperate time in my life. When I first met him, I was about to go in for surgery on a herniated disc in my lower back — and ended up canceling because of the hope he gave me that I could heal naturally. Our regimen gave me relief right away, and my back pain has completely cleared up since then. Locatelli is extremely science- and fact-oriented but doesn't let the limiting conventions of the industry hold him back. He's a creative thinker whose zone of genius is clearly the human body. He could basically tell what was wrong as soon as he looked at me lol. He's also super gentle and compassionate and made me feel taken care of, like I was in good hands — which, at the time I came to him, was honestly half of what I needed. Thank you Locatelli for giving me my life back <3

Fantastic experience: After an awful knee injury, I went from being an active adult to wondering if i was ever going to walk right again. I tried the PT that my insurance assigned me but started becoming frustrated from lack of results over time. I also started to develop anxiety from stress as the injury was affecting my livelihood. I came across Dr. Loc's practice online and was intrigued by his approach to finding and treating the root cause of issues. I decided to make an appointment and get assessed. That day i learned that bad habits over time had caused some serious issues for me. But the good news is that they could be directly addressed. I learned about the importance of breathing and how such a simple thing that i never thought about dictates so much about how i feel and act. It was discouraging to hear about my issues at first but after trying the techniques that were instructed i felt an immediate difference. I was determined to stick to the plan. What i found was, the more i did the exercises i was taught, the better i felt. Sometimes it actually felt weird NOT to have pain in certain areas that had hurt for as long as i could remember. Every session is a learning experience and some of the exercises are tough to perform correctly. But each new thing i did had me becoming more and more in tune with my mind/body connection. If i ever got stuck and had questions, Dr. Loc was quick to answer them to help me perform the exercises correctly. Its been a challenge, but when i actually see results it motivates me to keep going. The most important thing to me was that all the effort i was committing was actually addressing the cause of my issues and making me feel better. It's been about two years now since the first appointment and im happy to say that my life has changed so much. I'm lifting weights, playing basketball, boxing and building up my confidence to train BJJ again. Learning how to breath correctly has helped me tremendously to find my center if i am feeling anxious. My only complaint is that i didn't start sooner. Invest in yourself, it WILL pay off in the long run. Thank you Dr. Loc!

Fantastic experience: The entire staff has been very supportive. My son, who is 14 tore his ACL and meniscus and underwent surgery to repair and reconstruct the damage. He has been working with Justin who has been vey kind and engaging helping him through his rehab and helping him deal with not being able to play team sports this year. We highly recommend Justin and PPT for your rehabilitation needs. Its much more personalized and effective than the service received at Congress Medical on South Raymond.

Fantastic experience: I have severe arthritis which is relieved with aquatic therapy. I've been in many pools in southern California over the last 20 years, ranging from hospital settings, to private PT pools, and I've had many many pool therapists. I was looking for a setting which was cheerful, bright, and clean, but expected the usual PT who sat dressed in street clothes on the side of the pool and gave me range-of-motion exercises. What a wonderful surprise Kerry is! She's in the water with me, judging each and every exercise. She immediately corrects what's not working or painful, and substitutes another exercise. This is the first time I've ever had a real aquatic therapist who pays attention and knows what works. The Waterworks pool is also really nice. It is such a pleasure to be in an enclosed setting yet still have windows and sunlight. and what fun it is to see all the babies with their moms and dads. I'm having a therapy pool built in my backyard, but I will continue to work with Kerry because I feel she holds the key to better mobility for me. It's so nice to have a kind, encouraging, and knowledgeable therapist!

Fantastic experience: My experience at this facility with Kerry has been great. Im progressing very fast since knee surgery.

Fantastic experience: Great people, nice facilities! Am a repeat customer (unfortunately) and would definitely come back again and/or recommend Pasadena pt to my family friends coworkers. Kerry is the bomb... :)

Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff and personalized care. I feel very confident in their ability to help me get better. I also appreciate the idea that their goal is to get you to discharged from their facility--they aren't going to try to keep you longer just to increase billing.

Fantastic experience: Kerry and Malia have both been amazing. I am well on my way to recovery after a shoulder injury. The rest of the staff are very professional and knowledgeable as well.

Fantastic experience: Superior care here, highly recommended! Wish I had found them sooner. Friendly, caring, and extremely knowledgeable staff. Kerry and Loc have been fantastic to me and I know the other staff offer excellent care to their patients as well. Give them a call, they will take really good care of you!

Fantastic experience: Great staff. They are always willing to work with my schedule.

Fantastic experience: My second experience with PPT was as productive and rewarding as my first - which is not to say that I sailed through without effort or without challenges! In 2013 my primary care dr. sent me to PPT to ameliorate the knee arthritis from a 45 year old injury. I had dislocated my patella in high school. Working with Loc and his team, I learned how to relieve the pain in my hamstring, better strengthen my legs, and buy time to delay surgery. In December 2014 I had a total knee replacement. My insurance sent me to another therapy group for the first three months; then Fate directed me back to PPT. My flex range was only 105 in mid April. I was frustrated but determined. Dr. Liz was the perfect therapist for my temperament and my problem. She motivates but does not coddle - which works for me. Loc clearly always had an eye on my progress and was a fountain of information, as usual, on the latest techniques, the future of massage balm therapy, and more. When I saw my physician in July, he told me, "you've done a lot of hard work but you have a lot more to go." Liz helped me get to where I needed to be. I graduated on Tuesday, Sept. 12, (9 months post op) with my flex at 124. "Go to your happy place" is the phrase that reminds me I am a slow healer, but by golly I got it done with a lot of hard work and encouragement from Liz! My determination kept me in therapy after my medical plan quit paying; but their determination helped me complete rehabbing my knee. If you're a slow healer, don't give up! Go see Liz and ask her to take you to your happy place. Just be prepared to work mentally and physically to get there!

Fantastic experience: Amazingly genuine service and care! Professional and fun environment to rehab. Highly recommended for men and women of all ages. KERRY IS THE BEST ;-) Hope you enjoy recovering at Pasadena Physical Therapy!!!

Fantastic experience: I recently had total knee replacements (both -- only 5 weeks apart). Due to my insurance and location of surgery, physical therapy was not covered. Kellie who greeted me was and is incredibly nice, professional and goes out of her way to help find the best times, works out any issues she can (and she *will* try) and helped me understand the best strategy to be cost-effective with my rehab. Besides the normal necessary office tasks, she takes the time to communicate genuine care for your health and you as a person. I checked many places since I would be paying out of pocket and decided to try Pasadena Physical Therapy after talking to colleagues, reading reviews, etc... No regrets. The DPT's, PTA's and front desk are terrific. The therapists are encouraging, helping, pushing (in the right way -- expect to work!). I can call out my particular DPT's Chase Bauer primarily and Jordan Perry and PTA's Claire and April -- they are first rate. Choosing the right surgeon for my knee replacements was a huge decision. Picking the right PT was similarly critical. I had 6 prior arthroscopies and in my experience, these men and women are world-class, the best. Kudos's for my recovery go to Chase who has never had to deal with the challenges of a misalignment from birth but has been resourceful and tireless in helping me get the best result. Along the way, they helped me lose almost 50 lbs so far.

Fantastic experience: After just one session with Jordan Perry, I am living a much happier, more pain-free life! He diagnosed and treated what three other doctors had failed to diagnose. I was almost resigned to a life of no physical activity and chronic pain until my time with Jordan. He was very professional and clearly knew his stuff! He also sent me home with stretches and exercises that have continued to help my recovery and have helped me regain my strength. I highly recommend Pasadena Physical Therapy, and Jordan Perry for your physical therapy needs!

Fantastic experience: Kerry is the best. I ruptured my Achilles' tendon a couple of months ago and she has definitely helped me put my best foot forward on the road to recovery.

Fantastic experience: Kerry is my PT and is amazing. I can feel myself getting stronger every time! I look forward to every appt :)

Fantastic experience: Rao is a true master healer.

Fantastic experience: I was a patient of Dr. Rao, and went to him after other PT experiences left me lacking and still in pain. I had chronic neck pain, weird hip stuff, and was recovering from a tib fib fracture. Feeling at the end of my rope. Dr. Rao helped me feel normal again! His process is different than most and that was why I chose him, even though I live in Oakland. The monthly visits reset my body and I did my work at home in between. I am pain free walking now and moving better than I have in years. The exercises feel and look weird sometimes, but even a single round of the right intervention instant results in testing and how I felt. It was nothing short of magic, but really, attentiveness and caring by a doctor that knows more than most. Grateful I found him, worth every dollar I spent.

Fantastic experience: I have an l5 s1 protrusion, i first strained my back 2 years ago and the latest incident in December 2021 where I started getting sciatica. I went to orthopedists, neurosurgeon, got multiple mri’s. And was panicking when I came to dr rao. He’s fixed me, I don’t feel pain in my lower back and don’t feel sciatica. I can lay down in my bed now without my foot getting tingly or feeling pain. I’m so so grateful and happy. His knowledge on the body is immense and the method he uses empirical, practical, based on science. I will be returning to further my knowledge on the body, exercise, etc. Thank you so so much !

Fantastic experience: I have struggled with hip mobility issues for the past 15 or so years. Before finding Dr. Rao, I went through a number of other treatment options that either didn't work, or only provided short term relief: traditional exercise-based PT, Active Release Therapy, muscle scraping, acupuncture, chiropractor, massage and stretch, all kinds of fancy lasers and machines, etc. I found Dr. Rao's Instagram off a Reddit post (of all things!), gave him a follow, and decided to commit for the first visit. Driving up once a month from Orange County to Pasadena became a monthly pilgrimage of sorts for me. After going through my patient intake form and putting me through a couple baseline tests, he had a good idea of what was going on. We tried a couple drills, then re-tested and confirmed the drills would help. He devised a treatment plan and he gave me some homework. This became the template for every visit (about once a month for ~7 months?), and Dr. Rao helped me work through the postural compensations that had taken over my body in the past 15+ years. Within the couple days, I could tie my hockey skates without any pinching or pulling from my hips and lower extremities. At about the 3 month mark, I started getting about 15-20 degrees of seated hip internal rotation in our tests (my baseline on day 1 was 5-10 degrees). By the end, I hit 35 degrees of seated hip internal rotation, and I feel like I can train into the capability to take more. I just graduated this past Friday and could not recommend Dr. Rao's practice more. Commit to the plan and trust the process.

Fantastic experience: I came from out of town to see Dr Loc after suffering from golfers elbow/elbow tendinitis for years. I had daily pain and had given up activities I loved (weight training, cycling, surfing). I had 1 session with Dr Loc in which he was incredibly attentive and focused. After going over my history and some tests, he walked me through some exercises and explained the physiology of how each was connected to my injury and how they would aid in my recovery. He wrote me and exercise plan to continue on my own and over the next 2 months we corresponded via email. Since this one visit and a couple months following his instructions, I am back in the gym, on the bike, and in the surf. I have had knee, shoulder and ankle surgery but never have I had such a great experience with a PT/medical professional. Thanks Dr Loc!

Negative experience: I've put a random two stars here, to get people's attention before they leave messages and try to book. This (formerly) wonderful PT office appears to be closed until further notice. Unfortunately, they have not updated any of their info or VM to reflect this.

Fantastic experience: This review is long overdue. I want to first start by giving a little information about myself. I was a multi sport athlete my entire life along with martial arts. It’s safe to say that my body is taking a good beating for a good portion of my life. By the time I was in my early 20s I was dealing with a lot of pain. I went to several different therapists and different types of practitioners with never getting any real results. That’s when I decided to start going to school for kinesiology and try to fix myself. While I was able to undo a lot, there where a few things i could never seem to resolve. Last Year i decided to seek Out help to address these unresolved issues. my pelvis was a mess and my neck always hurt. I met Loc through the fitness community and knew several people that had work with him personally. I will admit I was a bit jaded towards physical therapist giving all my past experiences but I could tell Loc was different. Within the first 15 minutes of our session I could see his passion for helping others because i too live to help people. His no bs approach Was also very pleasant I like that he educates while treating. The biggest thing for me was how he approach the body as not only a whole but in addressing the root cause instead of just treating just the symptoms. Fast forward and I’ve done over eight sessions with Loc I continue to progress and get better and better after each session. If you’re someone in pain Or just need a physical therapist Dr. Locatelli is the best in the business hands-down. People Think it’s crazy that I drive 200+ miles “ to see a physical therapist” but Loc Is more than just a physical therapist he’s a true healer.

Fantastic experience: I discovered Dr. Loc when I did my FRC and FRA (functional range conditioning) certifications. From there I consumed as much of his FREE content as I could get my hands on via his social media accounts and have continued to learn so much from him. I recently had a client book a virtual session with him as I was stuck in helping her with an neck/shoulder issue and the care he gave both my client and me was above and beyond even from 1800 miles away! Book him today.

Fantastic experience: Had a hip issue I have been dealing with for nearly 5 years. Worked with way too many practitioners to bother listing here but they just couldn’t quite get me back to fighting shape. Dr Locatelli has delivered more in 3 Zoom sessions than any of them has with months of consistent treatment. Direct & knowledgeable, he is worth every cent and won’t waste your time.

Fantastic experience: I have not been a patient at this clinic but was kindly allowed the opportunity to observe Dr. Rao work and it was a real honor. He was very professional and knowledgeable way beyond your average PT and what really stood out was the level of attention he gave and listening he did with each patient. Every patient that I observed, both new and returning, truly appreciated him for his work and learned a lot. Would HIGHLY recommend this place for physical therapy

Fantastic experience: TL;DR Loc is fantastic-- he takes a holistic approach to finding the limiting factor / source of pain, and integrates many systems of treatment rather than sticking to standard textbook practices. I found Loc through the FRC community on Instagram, and I can say without a doubt that he has made a difference in my life. About 4 years ago, I hurt my lower back, and had chronic discomfort/pain in my lower back for the following 2 years. I'd seen multiple massage therapists, PTs, chiros, osteopaths, each assuring me that they'd be able to get me back to normal via their treatment philosophy. But it was very cookie cutter, and they'd always attribute the pain to core/spine/pelvis and try to do a little manual manipulation/massage, keep me doing bird dogs, and telling me to just continue with their treatment plan. Eventually I was able to get to a point where my lower back was no longer nagging me every day, but no matter how I tried to train, there would be a point when I would hurt myself (throw out my back, left shoulder get strained, hip flexor issues, etc), and would have to take time off, and start from the beginning. Frustrating cycle. After being treated by Loc for over a year now, I no longer have any pain anywhere and honestly can say that my body has never moved better. This allows me to be more active in sports as well as workout better and more consistently. I no longer have to take time off because I've somehow thrown out my back. Loc helps me find where my movement pattern is sub-par and teaches me how to work on that limitation and incorporate the fixes into my daily life and my active/fitness life.

Fantastic experience: I flew out from Chicago IL to see Dr. Loc Rao on the referral of 3 separate, trusted friends who called him a "miracle-worker." I had been told by everyone up until that point that surgery was my only option for a bilateral hip labral tear. My flight was delayed and I missed my original appointment time, but Loc stayed hours later so that he could still see me. His assessment was thorough and he provided me with an avenue for reconditioning that I didn't think was possible. Beyond that, he worked to pair me with practitioners in Chicago and continued to support me as best he could from afar. Through this process, I've gone from chronic pain to 0-5% pain on any given day. I'm returning to my passions and activities, and doing what all other doctors told me I wouldn't be able to without surgery! I can't thank Dr. Rao and Pasadena PT enough for what has literally changed my life. I would refer anyone here, and do already do so.

Fantastic experience: Loc is the easily the best physical therapist that I’ve ever worked with, hands down. Having been an athlete for most of my life, I’ve had my fair share of injuries and rehab. After seeing 6 physical therapists over 6 years for a bad shoulder, Loc is the first one that has actually made a significant difference in my shoulder’s functioning. I’ll admit, I was hesitant to pay out of pocket to see him, but it was worth every penny. Loc spends the entire hour with the patient, no messing around with PT aides, ice, heat or ultrasound. Every time I see him I get his complete undivided attention. His bedside manner is excellent, there are no stupid questions, and I have never felt him be dismissive with my concerns (unlike some other pts I have seen in the past). In my sessions with Loc, we spend as much time talking about concepts as I spend performing exercises. He is an excellent educator in addition to being a treatment provider. This has helped tremendously with my ability to understand and care for my own body. Pasadena PT is NOT a clinic that simply gives you a print out of exercises to do and sends you on your way. It IS an involved process, it DOES require learning new things, but it is completely worth it. The knowledge I have gained through working with Loc I will have for life. Loc’s toolbox is cutting edge. He has spent far more time in continuing education than any other PT I have worked with, studying with the Postural Restoration Institute, The Prague School (DNS), and Functional Range Systems. As a true doctor of human movement, he created a practice that combines these different schools of manual technique and corrective exercise into a highly effective treatment method. Loc’s approach does not simply address symptoms of injuries but looks at WHY these symptoms might be happening. The ultimate goal is to improve function, so nothing is overlooked, even the way you breathe. This is a whole body, systems approach to movement medicine. Lastly, my experience with the office staff has been great. Scheduling appointments is easy and the office texts you the day before your appointment to confirm. There is even an iPad for check in. It seems like they make every effort to modernize and streamline the patient experience. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Loc and his clinic. It’s easy to see how passionate Loc is about his work and helping people.

Fantastic experience: The best in the business. Loc is a wizard.

Fantastic experience: In short, Loc Rao is a wizard, and PPT was worth every penny. Dr. Rao has a long history in healing people, and his breadth of knowledge is extensive and deep. I found him on Instagram looking for a Functional Range Release practitioner, as my 'normal' PT resources were not doing anything for my injuries. Loc is an FR practitioner, as well as educated in DNS, PRI, and a host of other mindblowing anatomical systems that fix people at the source of the problem. I came in with 0° dorsiflexion in my left ankle, left kneecap pain resurgence after 'fixing' my chondromalacia patellae a year a go, a burning right hip, footstriking and putting all my weight on my right leg, and a spinal/back issue that was 8 years in the making (an ortho had told me it was permanent). I did 4 total sessions with Loc over 5.5 weeks. After the assessment session, he restored 90% of my dorsiflexion in one treatment, fixed most of my right hip pain in another, improved my back issue by 50% approx. in the 3rd, and gave me the movements necessary to get back to footstriking evenly. My range-of-motion in my hips, shoulders and ankles was stunningly improved, and my body feels better than it has since I was a child. Loc is worth every dollar I gave him - in the 5 weeks I saw him, the man went to 3 different weekend seminars to learn new skillsets. He's been studying for 15+ years and voraciously adding to his skillset. I emailed with him frequently throughout our time, and have been in touch with him after my sessions ended. He asked me to follow up whenever I can to let him know how I'm doing, gave me resources and other practitioners to reach out to and train with, and provided fun, stimulating lessons during my sessions. Get to his clinic immediately. The other doctors there seem great from what I saw of them, but you want Loc treating you. Really nice facility, fantastic range of equipment, nice staff, easy location. Will probably treat myself to 'tune-up' sessions frequently, even without anything specifically wrong. He's that good, and I feel that incredible after treatment.

Fantastic experience: I have been through a lot of physical therapists, but I 100% credit my return to basketball officiating to Loc and his team of therapists at Pasadena Physical Therapy. After a horrific accident and multiple injuries, I doubted I would ever return to a life of normalcy, much less back on the floor again. There is just something special about this place - and I can honestly say that his patients and their care is something Loc genuinely cares about. Loc and his therapists showed me my deficits, and where my body was compensating for the injuries and how that would affect my entire core. Working together with Loc broke the endless cycle of pain and compensations, and in re-learning how to move on a daily basis, I am able to continue to be injury-free and referee. So THANK YOU to Loc and his staff, I know that I am only back doing what I love, because of YOU!

Negative experience: Avoid. The services are fantastic, but their billing department is very questionable, constantly sending false

Negative experience: I called to ask a question about insurance accepted and the receptionist was very rude and hung up on me.

Positive experience: Wonderful skilled caring staff who sincerely are involved in helping you heal and succeed in therapy. I worked with Dr. Joshua Schwartz, a very knowledgeable and empathetic therapist. Josh pushed me when I needed it, held my hand with his eyes when I got discouraged, and encouraged me always to strive for all the goals we set. I had a great experience there.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! Had a pretty bad labral tear but Josh got my shoulder feeling better than ever! Everyone is very friendly and provided attentive, personalized care. Thank you!
