Align Physical Therapy & Chiropractic

Experiencia fantástica: Amanda changed my life. Her level of expertise and care is unparalleled. Important to note that she is a second generation chiropractor who was trained in Canada where the training for chiropractors is much more extensive & rigorous. Without a doubt more knowledgeable than PTs I have worked with. I had been suffering from chronic lower lumber back pain and came to see her in severe pain, unable to move. Left after one session, unstuck & with a little homework to keep me moving. After roughly 6 weeks of treatment, things improved significantly. I was taught about the multitude of deep interior, abdominal & gluteal muscles needed to support the LL area & introduced to the Redcord system which was a real game changer. The supplemental laser therapy to relieve pain was an added amenity that was EXTREMELY helpful. Although I ended up receiving a spinal fusion later, my recovery was incredibly speedy because of the work I'd done with Align practitioners. I believe the level of success I received from the surgery would not have been possible without their preparation. In fact, I relocated toLA for a month specifically for post surgical rehab with Sara, who's also amazing. She knew just when to start encouraging me to work out again, assuring me I had more capacity than I thought. What's so amazing about this practice is that you can sense that the level of warmth, care, compassion, skill and expertise the practitioners offer is directly tied to their passion for this work. Additionally, their friendly conversational style makes it easy to take in the educational components of the healing process that are critical for chronic pain patients to understand in order to maximize their healing efforts. Thanks to Align, I am walking into a future not only having experienced profound shifts in my healing process, but also armed with all the information and resources necessary to prevent ever being "stuck" again!

Experiencia fantástica: I have had a wonderful experience working with the staff at Align. I was a competitive rower in high school and college, so fitness has been a very important part of my life for 20+ years. Amanda and her staff do an excellent job of helping your body heal, recover, and grow stronger. Perhaps more importantly, Amanda and her staff are also excellent teachers — extremely knowledgeable about how the body works, how different muscles and movements can complement one another (or not), and what you need to do to accomplish your goals. Can’t recommend the staff at Align highly enough.

Experiencia fantástica: If you want the BEST physical therapy program and experience possible, I recommend Align Physical Therapy and Chiropractic on Larchmont Blvd. in L.A! I could write pages on how good the services, therapists and programs that are offered are, but you can find everything you want to know on their website clearly laid out and explained succinctly. Personally, I cannot recommend my PT Sarah Court highly enough; her knowledge, competence, caring and hands on in my 55 minute sessions have made a huge difference in my life.

Experiencia fantástica: I first started working with Dr. Phithsamay Anderson after my 2-level lumbar disc replacement in 2022 and it was an extraordinary experience. I had been to many physical therapists in the past for various issues and I was so surprised by her...she is completely unique in the way she handled working with me and my issues- particularly my somatic issues that arise from nervous system dysregulation and cPTSD. She undersands the body and it's connection to the nervous system and breath, like no one I've ever worked with. She is deeply compassionate, and intuitive, and attunes to what is needed in a way I can only describe as perfection. I loved my time at Align, in the physical studio- the Red Cord method is outstanding for anyone who has asymetrical stregnth or body imbalances. Unfortunately I had to leave LA for a while and I missed our sessions dearly. I had thought about continuing virtually but I assumed that would be a waste. I was so wrong! I regret the time I spent struggling without Dr. P's support. Her online sessions are just as powerful as her in-person and she never fails to know the perfect solution for whatever I may bring to the session that day. The other day I called her the Leonardo DaVinci of physical therapy, and I really meant it! Over time in working with her, I can see the organization of my brain and entire system is changing, it's as if my body now has new circuits to access resource- a library of movements to relieve pressure and disregulation, rather than just become frozen in downward spirals. My proprioception is much different now- and this is a subtle but wonderful shift in what it feels like to be me. She has been an unexpected and critical piece of my trauma healing and I am so thankful. Plus... I just really like her as a person.. she's so warm, funny, compassionate, insightful and her smile really lights up my day. Thank you Dr. P & Align! <3

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have found Align and Dr. Sarah Court. From the very first appointment, I knew I was in excellent hands. The team here is not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely caring and attentive to their patients' needs. I suffered from hip pain that kept me from doing my favorite thing, marathon training, and Dr. Court helped me get back on my feet stronger than ever and better prepared to care for my physical health. After a thorough assessment, we tailored a personalized treatment plan that addressed my specific issues. Over subsequent visits, my pain diminished entirely, and I regained flexibility and mobility. If you're seeking top-notch PT and chiropractic care from a dedicated and compassionate team, look no further than Align.

Experiencia fantástica: From the start, this practice changed my life and spine injury for the better. I was running low on hope, my 2 other physical therapists weren’t helping yield results. Then I met Dr. Phithsamay and she dove into the history and full story of my injury. From there, with the help of top modern Swiss excites machines, Dr. Phithsamay created a full plan to help with everyday life, work, and extra circular activities. She took notes and kept track of progress and when I was showing healing results, she would alter my workouts accordingly to my my strength. You must must go here if you want results and are WILLING to to the work!

Experiencia fantástica: Align is THE BEST and has changed my life. I have arthritis and it got so bad I couldn’t bend my knee enough to get on rides at Disneyland. Now a year later I went to Disneyland and my knee could bend enough to comfortably and happily ride every ride. I think my two therapists Amanda and Sarah are geniuses when it comes to the human body. They way they have transformed me is so cool. I also train with Kari who is the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. Align is a very special place with very special people

Experiencia fantástica: I was recovering from tears in 3 of my lumbar discs. I had been to 3 therapists with little progress. When I came to Align and met PT Phithsamay, my trajectory of healing and recovery immediately changed. From the first evaluation, Phithsamay was able to diagnosis and pinpoint the cause of my pain through a series of tests. Additionally, she was able to educate me about the connected causes of pain, the goal of our recovery, and exactly the plan to achieve my health goal. I had 5 amazing sessions with Phithsamay at Align and I can say without exaggeration that these sessions changed my life for the better. It was good hard work and incredible direction. I highly suggest this practice and therapist. I will continue to see Phithsamay at Align in the future for check ups and rehabilitation for Muay Thai and drumming.

Experiencia fantástica: Align is a great place for PT/Chiro. I walk in with pain and out without(nearly)... night and day. Everyone there is so smart and knows so much about the body, why it's not working right and how to make it better.

Experiencia fantástica: After injuries and a couple of spine surgeries I followed thru with PT's referred by MD's and 'experts' and kept searching until I found Sarah Court. All PT's are not created equal. Her years of rigorous academic and hands-on study, paired with a very seasoned eye, have proved transformative for me, returning mobility and empowering me with the tools necessary to promote healing in between studio visits. Her professional manner, stellar knowledge base, and a determination to find therapies tailored to a client's unique situation are unmatched in my experience. I have zero hesitation and great confidence in recommending Ms. Court and Align Physical Therapy studio.

Experiencia fantástica: When I finally connected with Align, I had already seen two other physical therapists with no results, and had been in severe pain for over six months. After just a few visits with Sarah Court, my pain started to diminish dramatically. Align is professional and client-centric, tailoring therapy as needed. No cookie-cutter routines. I hope you never need a physical therapist, but, if you do, go IMMEDIATELY to Align.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr.Phithsamay is a guru! There are not enough words to explain how life-changing my experience with Align has been. I reached out to Align after a weekend of strenuous exercising consisting of running and jumping. A few days later I noticed my body was leaning toward one side and that I was experiencing very severe back pain. I tried a chiropractor and had no relief. It wasn’t until I contacted Align and met with Dr. Phithsamay, that I started seeing results. She reassured me that my physical condition wasn’t anything out of the norm. I did a consultation visit and immediately felt relief. Dr. Phithsamay also diagnosed my problem and followed up with a 12 week plan specifically designed for me, to get me back on my feet. I had so much relief after just doing the consultation that I made the decision to commit to the personalized 12-week plan Phithsamay created for me. Each week I got stronger and became more and more mobile. This program was to get me back on my feet but I honestly got stronger than I was before and my core became more defined. Well after working with Align and Dr. Phithsamay (my trainer), I utilize a regimen she’s developed along with the home gym she’s helped me design. During this process I’ve learned more about my body and the range of motion of movement. Phithsamay is not only a Doctor, she’s a trainer, mentor and a true savant to the field of physical therapy!

Experiencia fantástica: I was so happy to find Align PT to help with my knee rehab. I had already done the "assembly line" type of PT where it feels like all patients are treated the same, given the same exercise whether they work for you or not. I was looking for something different, and I really found it. I've been working with Sarah Court for almost a year, and the pain on the opposite side of my body that brought me in, that had become unbearable and was affecting my sleep, is totally gone. She taught me how to re-balance my body to stop favoring the "good" side, how to really strengthen the muscles I need to keep my knee going as long as possible, and even how to walk "right." I have benefitted greatly from the depth of her knowledge and the warmth of her care. And, the Red Cord approach is actually fun, and gave me a good sense of my continuing progress. I feel a lot of gratitude for the quality care I have received from Align PT and for Sarah.

Experiencia fantástica: Natasha is amazing. So knowledgeable and really strives to teach you so you’re more equipped to prevent injuries from happening. Highly recommend. My shoulder has never felt better!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Amanda Star is a brilliant holistic healer. I have worked with her for almost a year. In that time I have gone from chronic pain and difficulty with basic daily functioning to now feeling strong and stable. She has so many skills and tools at the ready and can really meet you where you are on your healing and strengthening journey. The combination of training she has means she can really provide a holistic program. I would highly recommend to anyone in a process of rehabilitating or for someone who just wants to Improve strengthen and function. The office is run professionally and all billing and scheduling is done with ease .

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Phithsamay Anderson PT, DPT Physical Therapist Redcord | Neurac I Trained Certified Pilates and Level II Gyrotonic® Instructor Gait Happens Practitioner Phithsamay Anderson brings all of her accumulated knowledge of Pilates, Gyrotonic and Redcord into her practice. With her guided approach, I’m finally on the path to feeling stronger and with lessening pain. She is gifted, with an intuitive appreciation of the body, and how best to find ways to accomplish a plan to address my specific issues. I couldn’t be happier about my continued progress and I feel fortunate to be working on my physical goals with Dr. Phithsamay Anderson.

Experiencia fantástica: I started working with Dr .Star in 2019 after many failed attempts at finding relief for two totally unrelated issues (bursitis in my hip and post-concussion neck pain/depression). As a 35 year old, both these issue were confounding and frustrating. I couldn’t run anymore and I was in near constant pain. Dr Star took a holistic approach to my diagnosis. Through consistent adjustments and Pilates work, she helped me retrain my body to move properly and engage the right muscles groups to protect myself. My body has transformed after a year of working with her. I feel like myself again. I can do all the things I used to and have found ways to combat my depression. She’s truly gifted and I’m grateful for stumbling into her office a year ago.

Experiencia fantástica: Working from home and managing distance learning for four kids had me anxious, stressed, and rushing through exercise if I did it all. I paid the price with excruciating hip pain and a lower back that stabbed me all day long and left me hobbling out of bed in the morning. I was so happy to find Dr Amanda, and right away she was able to help me tune into the parts of my body (butt, core) that weren't working optimally, leaving my back and hips to take the punishment. We've had sessions 2-3 times a month since July, and I'm feeling so much stronger and more flexible. I can tune into where I'm pushing too hard, or not pushing enough. Dr Amanda is knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and makes me hurt and sweat in a good way through our sessions. Looking forward to continuing our work together and staying strong, flexible, and pain free.

Experiencia fantástica: Second time I’m coming to Paulas place. She is totally awesome and absolutely knows what she is doing. The first time even someone can help me with my migraine headache.....

Experiencia fantástica: I've been here twice now and can assure you that Paula's PT is second-to-none. If you care about your recovery, don't waste your time going to one of the exercise factories that call themselves PT clinics. Come here and get real treatment. Paula finds the actual source of your problem and treats you far more effectively and attentively than the vast majority of PTs out there. Also her Redcord suspension system is super cool and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: Paula is truly superb at what she does. She is very professional, positive, caring and so talented at getting to the root of your injury and the best course of action for your treatment. I have worked with Paula for various injuries over the past 7 years (I am extremely active and an equestrian who has had a few bad falls from my horses) and she has always managed to help me recover, feel better and give me the right exercise regime to keep me on the right track between visits. She goes beyond a 5 star rating and I would highly recommend her!

Experiencia fantástica: Paula treated me for whiplash across my neck and back after a bad car accident, and for another injury when my pelvis was severely pulled out of whack (from dogwalking 3 Labradors) so much that my right side from hip, knee & ankle felt pain standing and walking. After a series of Physical Therapy treatments involving stretch exercises on massage table and on Pilates reformer, deep tissue massage, taping my knee and electric stimulation on my back (for whiplash), I felt that she healed not only my body but my mind from the trauma of the accidents. Paula cares about you and treats you like the doctor I always wished for. She is constantly evolving her own skills & practice. Paula is a healing force!
