Athletic Physical Therapy - West Los Angeles

Positive experience: the rating is for the business. it should be two stars but they managed to get about two good guys in there. crystal and the guy that used to do tae kwon do (I think he might've gone to another company now though). i've learned it's more about the staff than the company. this firm needs to treat its people better. that said, i have another prescription for PT. i'm not going back here. i'm going to find out where the tae kwon do dude ended up and get my care from there. whoever hires talent and cares to retain talent gets my return business.

Fantastic experience: Mat is so great and the support i received was top notch.

Fantastic experience: Very attentive and professional

Fantastic experience: Great expedience at Athletic PT! The West LA team is friendly & knowledgeable - you’re in great hands.

Fantastic experience: Great and clean experience with outstanding staff. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The employees here are very friendly and so helpful! I came in with excruciating pain at the beginning of 2023 and they helped me through my surgery and recovery! I am back to my everyday life and very grateful I went here. Very professional and a great group of people!

Fantastic experience: Great experience with Athletic Physical Therapy. I tore a ligament in my elbow and they helped me rehab it back into tip top shape. Kevin, Allison, and crew are always very thoughtful and effective with their approach to PT. I’ve never stuck with PT for as long as I have with this team. The office is located in a nice gym as well, so you can access more equipment than you usually would at other offices. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The trainers at APT are fantastic. They helped me rehabilitate my strained calves in 5-6 weeks. Alison is especially awesome, since she understands what it means to get back to “soccer shape”. Each session is tailored for the client’s specific needs and goals. Never a waste of time! Thank you, APT!!

Fantastic experience: Last September I was seriously injured with 2 dislocated and broken shoulders. Yes, plural. I was unsure if I was ever going to be able to use my upper body the same way I had. I highly recommend Matt and Kevin. While the exercises aren’t all fun and games, these guys know what they are doing.

Fantastic experience: I can not say enough great things about this place! After trying a couple of other places that I was unsatisfied with, I came here. I knew after the first appointment that this place was different and that it was the perfect fit for me. It's located inside of a gym, so there's access to tons of equipment. I love the variety of exercises I'm given - it never gets boring. Kevin & Matt are incredibly knowledgeable and informative. They always answer my questions in a way that I can understand. They're also kind enough to laugh at my bad jokes- hahahhaa! I look forward to my appointments and always leave with a smile on my face. A new therapist, Allison, recently started there. I've had the pleasure of working with her a few times now. She's incredibly sweet, encouraging, and a great addition to the team!

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Athletic PT. Everyone is super helpful when it comes to treatment.

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t be happier with the treatment I’ve received from Complete PT! My therapist, Mallory is invested, knowledgeable, knows how to make the smallest tweaks make a difference and gives me confidence when doing my day to day activities. My shoulders are pretty messed up (surgery is inevitable for both) but I have so much more movement since starting here and So much less pain to non existent pain (sometimes pain would wake me up at night). My advice to anyone would be to share as much as you can with your therapist session to session so they have as much information to assess the progress. That’s it! Big thanks to Linda and Mallory!! ~ Michael

Fantastic experience: I have had a few injuries in recent years from working out and from playing Pickleball. Each time, I went to Athletic PT and had a great experience. I always receive excellent treatment, learn a ton, and come out smarter and stronger. Kevin is very professional and knowledgeable. A huge plus is that the office is located inside a gym, and we have full access to the equipment. I give Athletic PT my highest possible recommendation and refer my gym friends and Pickleball friends to him whenever they get hurt.

Fantastic experience: Kevin and his team were fantastic. They got me out of pain pretty quickly. Their exercises were easy to follow

Fantastic experience: The PT team at Athletic PT is outstanding and provided excellent treatment for me following my total knee replacement in January 2023. I highly recommend Kevin Nakayama and his fabulous assistants, Lesley and Hannah, for their expert care on every level. I couldn’t be more satisfied. Jane Grant

Fantastic experience: Leslie and Kevin helped me so much, super kind people and genuinely cared about my well-being

Fantastic experience: Ditto of all positive comments below and extra stars.

Fantastic experience: Amazing, professional treatment. Didn’t think my knee pain could be fixed I couldn’t be happier!

Fantastic experience: Employees were accommodating and the PT instructor was really knowledgeable! Will definitely be back.

Fantastic experience: This place is excellent. I worked with Kevin and Leslie for 6 months and they were lovely, professional, and very generous with their time and knowledge. I’ve done a lot of physical therapy in a lot of places and you will not get better care than this. Thank you to both of you! You guys are the best!

Fantastic experience: 10/10 would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Matt has been a true professional! He considers all the aspects before he tailors therapy for that day.

Fantastic experience: Kevin Leslie and Matt are kind, cheerful, caring and very accomplished. They are true muscle whisperers. I’ve come to them many times with chronic back and neck pain. Each time they assess the circumstance and then do physical exercises to strengthen so the issue resolve. They put you to work so that you can get back to life. I’ve often heard PT sucks. PT with them is great. I trust them and highly recommend you choose them.

Positive experience: Steve and his staff work hard with their clients to create a sensible and effective physical therapy program. I continue to benefit from their work.

Fantastic experience: If only there were more stars to give! My therapist, Dr. Kevin Nakayama, is a gifted bio-mechanic with magic hands. He is the consummate athlete’s physical therapist and trainer because he is able to diagnose and “manually” treat muscle malfunction and joint alignment issues. His knowledge of flexibility and strengthening regiments is excellent as well. I am very fortunate to have discovered Kevin and his wonderful staff. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: I have been to a few PT offices and have to say that this is the best place. The whole team is wonderful in taking care of the patients. Steve Crear is knowledgeable, caring, and skilled in what he does. Gloria's positive energy keeps you going even when in pain. Sydney's calm demeanor and patience make you feel at ease. I'm very happy with the results and highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: I was first referred to Steve Crear and his team (Gloria and Sydney) by my shoulder doctor who thought I might avoid surgery by working closely with Steve to repair a rotator cuff problem. After that (successful) experience I became a convert to the possibilities of PT, so when I recently had a hip replacement I followed the operation with two months of work at APT which I believe greatly hastened my recovery. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Steve C. and Gloria M. of Athletic Physical Therapy are truly exceptional, both professionally and personally. I look forward to each PT session and the earnest care and attention that I receive. My highest praise and kudos.

Fantastic experience: Steve and Gloria and Sidney are great, friendly, helpful and professional physical therapists. Always on time with my schedule. They help me to feel confident with myself and cope with my trauma insertional Achilles tendinitis. I'm getting better everyday. They are highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff & superb results. Very caring, efficient, & knowledgeable pros. Highly recommend to anyone in need of PT. Kevin, Leslie, & Gloria are fantastic & helped me get back to hiking, being very active, & pain free.

Fantastic experience: Wide variety of up to date equipment and resources.

Fantastic experience: Great job! They're very helpful. They give people a lot of good support. I feel it's the best physical therapy I've ever been to. It's a great place.

Fantastic experience: Excellent Physical Therapy office. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Just over a year ago I started having shoulder pain. I tried cortisone injections, sports massage, acupuncture, creams and all the quick fix stuff but nothing helped. I finally went in to see a doctor. I'm sure the doctor explained what frozen shoulder mean but I was so crushed that I didn't catch a word he said and forgot to ask all the important questions. I got in my car and realized I had so many. I was given a sheet of information and a referral sheet for therapy. So I called a few places to gather up information. When Gloria picked up the phone I knew they were the ones. She was accommodating, knowledgeable and took me in at 6:30 a.m. plus validated parking. Steve Crear took time to explain everything to me. He even pulled out a full chart and pointed out exactly where and what adhesive capsulutis is. This past year was physically and emotionally difficult. Chronic pain can be debilitating. Trusting someone when you are in pain is not easy, not for me at least. I was a very difficult patient. The pain, fear, meds and lack of sleep had gotten the best of me. I soon realized they were experts. Steve and Gloria knew exactly what I was going through. They were compassionate, caring and gave me hope. They made me dig deep in days I thought I couldn't. I never left their office in pain, never rushed, never pushed too hard, just enough. Hours and hours of physical therapy with this amazing team and lots of determination have gotten me to where I am today. They make it clear that putting in your own time and effort is key. They prepare you for a life time of changes and to make all your workout routines and activities properly effective. I'm swimming, lifting again and just ran the LA marathon on Sunday. I'm sore but I'm sore everywhere not just my shoulder. This was the final test. I'm so satisfied with the results and forever grateful!

Fantastic experience: My son engaged with Athletic Physical Therapy after a broken ankle potentially impacted his high school baseball participation. The team at APT not only sped up his recovery, but educated him on the physiology of his injury and the plan for therapy. He worked hard and has recovered complete, stronger for the experience and the education. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: After my rotator cuff surgery I did physical therapy here and was happy with the results. I worked primarily with Steve and Gloria and they are both knowledgable, friendly, patient and caring. I began PT a week after surgery. They started me off slowly and would gradually build up the movements, weights and resistance-- nothing was ever rushed or pushed harder than it needed to be, which I appreciated. Setting up appointments was always easy and I had no issues with billing, they made sure all of that went as smoothly as possible.

Fantastic experience: Steve Clark was knowledge, compassionate & gave me lots of confidence.

Fantastic experience: I have had long standing neuropathy in my left leg and months ago I had a total knee replacement of my left knee. Rehabilitation with Steven at Athletic PT has been a life saver. I no longer need to wear a knee brace and the muscles in my left leg are getting stronger. I am 77 years of age and am grateful to Stephen and the staff at Athletic PT for the work they do in getting me to walk again!
