Evolution Physical Therapy - Playa Vista

Experiencia fantástica: this is an amazing atmosphere of good health. I am lucky to have Michael Nieraeth to get my knee back in shape. When he was out of town Simiah took over and she is also amazing. Never thought I would feel good again. So professional and friendly. You'll love going here.

Experiencia fantástica: I love this place!!!!! Exactly what I was looking for as a former college athlete turned mid-age. I wanted a place to train where they have caring professionals that are athletes themselves and know physical therapy well. My goal was to prevent injury so I can maintain my highly active lifestyle - marathon, soccer and tennis. Raham is kind, creative and motivating as a personal trainer in both private and group led classes. Dr. Ashley is an excellent PT with in depth personal knowledge of sports as a former athlete. I love how they support my athletic goals even though I am past my prime.

Experiencia fantástica: I used Evolution PT ten years ago for rehab of a torn quad tendon. They were great then and continue to provide excellent treatment and care today. I recently had a hip replacement and have been working with Nicole Schiel. Nicole is professional, knowledgable and attentive. Great facilities with an overall good vibe for your rehab.

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional and rigorous physical therapy led by experienced DPTs and friendly support staff. Definitely feel the positive impact after 6-8 sessions and highly recommend Jeff Roggin as a DPT

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent and friendly staff, and very clean and well-equipped facility.

Experiencia fantástica: A great experience, extremely knowledge and fill of education to give for every specific problem. 10/10 therapist

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t say enough good things about Evolution Physical Therapy Playa Vista. I’ve been to other physical therapy organizations over the years and found Evolution to be the best! Special shout out to Jessica Finley who helped this senior rehab from total knee replacement and return to playing competitive pickleball.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent physical therapists and excellent exercise/treatment facilities. High quality stuff!!

Experiencia fantástica: Brynn is amazing! She’s knowledgeable and works towards ensuring you heal from your injury in a way that meets your needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent experience with a knowledgeable and professional staff. Highly recommend Matt ! He is hands on and cares about his clients.

Experiencia fantástica: Griffin and the team at Evolution helped my son with a hip injury. They were great. Griffin came up with a plan after my son's soccer injury and he was back on the pitch before too long.

Experiencia fantástica: My son’s ankle injury had him on crutches, but thanks to Matt at Evolution PT, he’s now regaining strength and walking much more comfortably. The progress has been remarkable, and Matt’s care, knowledge, and dedication have been key to his improvement. Highly recommend!

Experiencia negativa: My physical therapist is Mike! He’s great! Very well educated, confident, & concerned about giving the best solutions for knee replacement. I recommend him highly & Evolution.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone at evolution is so helpful and knowledgeable! It’s a pleasure working with Matt! He’s incredibly knowledgeable and cares about helping his patients!

Experiencia fantástica: Am such a huge fan of Evolution PT. Not only did I receive excellent care after an ACL tear, it’s been over two years since my surgery/recovery and I’m loving the bootcamp and functional mobility classes. Highly HIGHLY recommend David, Raham, and Haley - they are super professional, patient with students, and perfectly assertive in terms of making sure we’re doing our best work to get stronger. They bring so much creativity to the workouts and fellow athletes are always very friendly, too.

Experiencia fantástica: Received excellent care from Robin. Customizes exercises to address concerns. Answers questions thoroughly.

Experiencia fantástica: I have had several different PT experiences in the past, but none compared to the one-to-one sessions with Matt. I am extremely satisfied and would highly recommend him!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been very happy with my treatment here for a shoulder issue. I look forward to going to PT and have seen considerable improvement. Jeff is my PT and he is the man. He is very pleasant to talk to, knowledgeable, and caring.

Experiencia fantástica: I started my pt with Jessica Finley two weeks ago for my 15 years of back pain and I am already waking up with less pain and have more confidence with everyday life tasks. I highly recommend evolution pt and I plan to use their services in the future

Experiencia fantástica: Jeff is incredible. He is by far the best physical therapist I have ever worked with. His knowledge and expertise is amazing. He listened and carefully diagnosed me, clearly explained everything, and created a successful and dynamic program for rehabilitation. Moreover, he’s brilliant, friendly, and patient. I recommend Jeff for any type of physical injury treatment and Evaluation physical therapy playa vista is the best place.

Experiencia fantástica: Brooke is great!

Experiencia fantástica: I love Evolution Fitness. I have been there years ago for Physical Therapy. I love my Physical Therapist Brooke Taylor. She is so caring and patient. She is always professional and personable as well. She explains why the exercises are helpful in your healing process. Love Her! I highty recommend her as well as Evolution Fitness.

Experiencia fantástica: I have gone to Evolution Physical Therapy in Playa Vista four times. My PT is Brooke, and I find her fabulous. She listens to my issues, she recommends exercises based on my age and issues, with not too many exercises at a time, and above all she watches what I do and is VERY encouraging. I would highly recommend Brooke.

Experiencia fantástica: Clean space..... The staff is friendly , and professional.

Experiencia negativa: After reaching out via the appointment request form with no response twice, I finally called. No response yet again even after leaving a message and my number. I called again the next day and scheduled an appointment a couple weeks out. Called in the week before my appointment to confirm and was told my appointment was never scheduled and the next opening is in 3 weeks. Maybe this place is great to their patients but if you’re new, don’t bother.

Experiencia fantástica: Nick is great to work with. Very professional and knowledgeable. He was able to lay out a great plan for me which has helped immensely with my lower back pain.

Experiencia fantástica: Easy to get to, easy to sign in and schedule future appointments. Trainers are great. Personally I had Jeff who was the best. Highly recommend for anyone struggling with new or past injuries

Experiencia fantástica: Very very helpful. 5 star therapist Nichole is vocus on getting my foot and balance up to where I am back to a quality of enjoying life once again

Experiencia fantástica: I can't say enough great things about Brooke Taylor! After suffering an injury, I was hesitant to start physical therapy, but Brooke immediately put me at ease with her warm and caring demeanor. Her expertise and knowledge were evident from the start, and she tailored a treatment plan specifically to my needs. Brooke's enthusiasm and encouragement made every session a pleasure, and I was amazed at how quickly I began to see progress. She genuinely cares about her patients and goes above and beyond to ensure their success. Brooke Taylor is an exceptional physical therapist, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch care!

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience from the start. From checking in for your appointment, to the time you leave, the experience was great. And Connor Frerichs who is my PT, is awesome. The dude is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and very attentive. I had been doing Physical Therapy at another place and I felt that I was not having much progress so I came in and started working with Connor, and I know some might say it is too soon, but just after my third visit with him I am already noticing a big improvement. The place is clean, and not packed with people at one time. I think they are doing an amazing job. I highly recommend it.

Experiencia fantástica: Evolution PT on La Brea is a peaceful place staffed with the best Therapists I've worked with..and I've had a long haul. I'm extremely happy to have found Jon Bernfeld & his staff. I'm facing 2 more joint replacements, and it's comforting to know that I'm in good hands.

Experiencia fantástica: Brooke is my physical therapist at Evolution Physical Therapy in Playa Vista. She and the entire staff are expertly trained, welcoming, and always take the time to listen to my concerns and questions. My back pain is improving after only a few sessions so far.

Experiencia fantástica: I have had physio here on two separate occasions - with Madia and Sophie. Both therapists were very knowledgeable and provided comprehensive plans to help address shoulder and knee issues. Sophie also got rid of my vertigo! Would highly recommended Evolution to anyone looking for injury rehab or prevention.

Experiencia fantástica: I had Ankle stabilization Surgery in July - I am a 30 year old who really thought my body would never recover from this injury. Carolyn Phan & Jess have me moving and grooving like I never had surgery. I feel a renewed sense of youth. Highly Recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: I had only one visit there, but Nicole gave me 4 exercises which I've been doing at home and they have virtually eliminated my hip pain!

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Jackie my past few PT sessions has been wonderful. I look forward to our sessions and she’s not only fun to chat with but also very knowledgeable.

Experiencia fantástica: My physical therapist Raziel has been with me throughout my healing journey for a couple months now. I personally have a high standard for my care and she’s one of the few providers that exceed my expectations. She creates a personalized treatment plan and works with how my body responds/feels each day. I can tell Raziel truly cares about my wellbeing and getting better. I like that we try various treatments such as massage and cupping in addition to my PT exercises. She also educates me a lot about my body. When I started last year I felt so broken mentally and physically. Now I feel great about my body and it has really boosted my confidence!

Experiencia fantástica: I've been seeing Carolyn here for a few months, and she is AWESOME! I'm new to physical therapy, and Carolyn has been incredibly supportive. For reference, I'm trying to regain basic strength and flexibility after a hospital stay last year. I'm especially targeting my neck, glutes and back, as I spend a lot of time hunched over at my computer working from home. Carolyn creates a welcoming, fun environment that also lets me feel safe, and tailors each session to my energy level. She generally uses a combination of targeted massage work, stretching, resistance band exercises, and bodyweight exercises for me to do, and no two sessions are exactly the same, which I really like. I've noticed a significant improvement since I've been coming here, and I can't thank Carolyn enough for her great work with me!

Experiencia fantástica: Mike is the man to see. I’ve seen many physios over the years, but Mike is by far the best of any of them. He is extremely knowledgeable, very professional and friendly. Highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Great P/T facility. Knowledgeable staff and personal attention.

Experiencia fantástica: I absolutely love this place! The physical therapists here are not only incredibly knowledgeable but also have a fantastic energy. The atmosphere feels more like a lively gym than a typical doctor's office, which adds to the overall positive experience. Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: I was very happy with the care I received at Evolution Physical Therapy Playa Vista! My trainer there Bo Heris (Bozorgmehr Baradar Heristchian) is a great physical therapist.

Experiencia fantástica: For months I was in constant pain due to disc degradation in my neck and lower back and was contemplating surgery and nerve oblation to manage the pain. I was waking up nightly and could no longer do any of my favorite activities like running or surfing. After the routine of waiting months to get a 20 minute appt with spine doctors, working with Raziel was so refreshing. She is an incredible listener and diagnostician. She walked me through exactly why I was having pain and explained the muscle groups she thought needed strengthening. After a few months of going twice a week and following the her prescribed home routine, I feel like I have my life back. I can run and surf again, and most importantly I feel like she gave me the tools to understand how to better keep my body in shape and prevent pain again. I can't recommend Raziel and Evolution enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Raziel is a very knowledgeable therapist with a very upbeat and positive attitude. She has knows how to get the best out of you because she knows how Parkinson's affects you and I'm confident that she has a good plan to help me be safe and active in my daily routine.

Experiencia fantástica: Bo is the BEST PT.

Experiencia fantástica: Kristin has been amazing and everyone who has worked with me in assisting her have been great. They have been kind, supportive, and attentive.

Experiencia fantástica: I started at Evolution after suffering a severe ankle fracture and dislocation. Mike Nieraeth helped me to walk again. He’s thorough, tough and very knowledgeable. The clinic is friendly and helpful and they make it easy to go there. Thank you Evolution for making a difference in my life!!

Experiencia fantástica: Evolution Physical Therapy is an excellent option to facilitate recovery and rehabilitation after injury. Both my daughters and I have all benefited from therapy there. Tim Brown has been a wise, thorough and exceptional therapist through two of my own surgeries. I feel blessed to have him as my physical therapist and you highly recommend both Evolution and Tim.

Experiencia fantástica: Evolution Fitness is amazing. Bo is a fantastic and thoughtful PT and would highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff is friendly and highly skilled, and the facility is clean and well equipped.

Experiencia fantástica: Brynn is fantastic and really takes the time to get to know what you are struggling with. Only have had a few sessions but am already starting to feel better!

Experiencia fantástica: Very clean Very attentive therapist, Carolyn

Experiencia fantástica: Kristin Sakoda is an amazing physical therapist. I am in my 2nd week of therapy for a lingering shoulder issue and feel I have made great progress under Kristin's care. She has a clear plan for my recovery, is knowledgeable, has remarkable attention to detail and also listens to the patient about what they're feeling in their own body. Her positive energy is off the charts which goes a long way towards making the process an encouraging experience. I would highly recommend Kristin to anyone looking for a physical therapist.

Experiencia fantástica: Evolution is great place for physical therapy. Nicole was my therapist and she was friendly and her treatment helped me immensely. If I ever have to do PT again (let's hope not) I'll be back!

Experiencia fantástica: Chelsea Ortega and the entire staff at Evolution Physical Therapy is amazing! Her expertise and commitment to patient care are truly exceptional. She personalized my treatment plan, showed remarkable knowledge, and has an undeniable passion for helping patients achieve their goals. Thanks to Chelsea, I've made significant progress in my recovery. I wholeheartedly recommend her for top-notch physical therapy. She's a five-star therapist in every sense. Thank you, Chelsea and the entire Evolution team for your all your hard work and support!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent PT. Very knowledgeable and personable. Most important though, I am seeing results.

Experiencia positiva: My experience with the physical therapist was fine. My issue is with their admin staff and billing department. Extremely frustrating people who seem to not keep records. It is a shame when you as the patient have to explain how things work to the staff and correct and catch their mistakes (more than once).

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely sensational experience!

Experiencia fantástica: I am being treated by Raziel at Evolution and have found her to be very knowledgeable, extremely caring, very positive and very enjoyable to work with.

Experiencia fantástica: I was referred by my Doctor for my calf injury and didn't think much how PT might have helped but boy I was wrong. I've only been here for two weeks and I've seen significant improvement and have learned so much while also having a great time and laugh throughout the pain and workouts. Bozorgmehr has been nothing short of amazing and has provided me so much knowledge and curated a plan for me to improve my strength and stability. Sophia and the aids are so knowledgeable and walk me through the workouts to make sure I am not comprimising any form or technique. I am so grateful for Evolution and will always keep this place in mind for any future injuries and recovery. 5 stars!

Experiencia fantástica: Really great experience so far. I am only a week into my PT program to rehab a shoulder injury, but it already feels better!

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly, knowledgeable staff. I would recommend David, he's good at explaining the exercises and he knows how to correct your technique politely. I would've gone longer, but the location was too far away. Good experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Terence Crossan is an amazing Physical therapist. Terence and I meet at least once a week. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, explains everything to me that we’re going to accomplish that day and fields all of my questions about my recovery. I knew from the first session I was in the right place with the right PT. The entire Evolution facility is amazing and I truly look forward to going there every week. My recovery is going great!

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly, knowledgeable staff. I would recommend David, he's good at explaining the exercises and he knows how to correct your technique politely. I would've gone longer, but the location was too far away. Good experience.

Experiencia fantástica: I just started at Evolution and Terence is very knowledgeable with the treatment I need for my condition. I look forward to continuing my therapy sessions so that I can get stronger and get back out on the road again.

Experiencia fantástica: The warm and professional attention to my well-being and progress in healing was shoulder makes me recommend them to everyone I know who needs PT. Thank you, Brynn!

Experiencia fantástica: I have shoulder pain and much reduced motion range in one arm. The therapists, Brynn and David know what to do right. I had been many different physical therapy places before. Never felt much improvement to my injuries. After first couple of sessions at Evolution Physical Therapy in Playa Vista with Brynn Condy I already felt the improvement and increased motion range. I would recommend anyone who needs to go this place.

Experiencia fantástica: Cannot say enough great things about the staff at the PV location: all trained on the latest technologies, science and research. Most of them have PhDs in Physical Therapy so it's the best place on the West Side for getting all the cutting-edge therapy to help you heal and come back to doing the things you love to do. They are also very good at pushing you to get results. My mom is a PT/OT in Florida. She has been providing her own feedback to me, as a professional therapist. Have also been coming here for two years thanks to a series of ankle injuries and subsequent treatments.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome staff in a great venue. Highly recommend PT and/or training here.

Experiencia fantástica: Manreet is amazing to work with, its obvious she really cares. I am feeling better since starting PT! Postpartum has been hard on my body and finally addressing this all here, I really enjoy going!

Experiencia fantástica: I started with Brooke the end of last year for plantar fasciitis- my feet were always hurting. I walk ALOT! and was finally going to do something to make my walks more enjoyable. Brooke was great from day 1- of the assessment to every appointment after with teaching me exercises to help. After a few months with her ( it has been months since I last saw her) I was able to stop wearing compression socks and enjoy pain free walking. I highly recommend Brooke and Evolution!!

Experiencia fantástica: Evolution Physical Therapy provides great care. Dr. Carolyn is an expert in her field. She is warm, professional and always makes sure that my questions are answered. She has a good way of explaining things. I highly recommend this facility.

Experiencia fantástica: Brooke was most knowledgeable, not only about the human musculoskeletal system, but at least as importantly, how to best improve a condition resulting from an injury. She was also a lovely, caring person.

Experiencia fantástica: My name is Nicolaus Getz and I had a partial knee replacement on April 19, 2023 and have been a patient at Evolution for over two months since just prior to the surgery. Chelsea Ortega was highly recommended to me by a friend and at first I was going to the Hawthorne location but now I only come to the Playa Vista one because it’s near to my home in Marina del Rey. Both locations are just awesome. I just have to tell you that I am so impressed with your company and the people that you’ve chosen to work for you. The professionalism and most importantly, the energy and friendliness of your staff is incredibly great. Chelsea is phenomenal of course!!!.. but I’ve greatly enjoyed also working with many others here including Jacqueline, Brynn, Leanna, Karina, and Sophie(Pooh). I also think it’s wonderful that Mike’s dog Charlie adds a therapy dog touch to the entire operation! I really love the fact that I am able to get some dog love when I’m in a painful position. I’m serious! I just can’t express how much I look forward to coming to physical therapy! and I know successful companies all trickle down from the top!.. so kudos to you, sir. Best, Nicky G.

Experiencia fantástica: i always look forward to my physical therapy appointments thanks to Brooke!! I tore 3 ligaments while skating and she has really made me feel supported in my physical and mental journey with healing. I know that because i’m in Brookes hands, I will (and have been) healing in the best way possible!

Experiencia fantástica: Thorough,knowledgeable and patient , I’m learning so much about my own self care. Great place

Experiencia negativa: Edit 3/9/2024: I used to really love this place and still think the PT services themselves and the therapists are great. The problem is the increasing nickel-and-diming (except it it’s much larger than nickels and dimes) bills I get that two years ago was never the case. I paid my copay, and that was that. Now I get large bills with adjustments after coverage, and charges for no-shows when I actually attended the appointment. Something has changed here with the management of their business and it is not for the better, has really soured me on going back because I’m expecting a crapshoot when I get the bill later. Old review 2023: I’ve seen phenomenal results with Evolution’s physical therapy for a lingering back injury. Gradually I am able to do the things I was once able to do again, and it has been restorative to my overall health and well-being to be able to engage in those physical activities once again. I’d also recommend them for classes!

Experiencia fantástica: Actually if there were ten stars I would give it! I was hesitant about coming for PT but I was assigned to Carolyn and immediately I knew I was in good hands.

Experiencia fantástica: All around great experience with Evolution, starting from Liz in the front office to my physical therapist, Manreet. Manreet had a wealth of knowledge to share. I left one visit with not only new exercises to immediately manage my discomfort, but also a program to prevent related issues from arising in the future. Highly highly recommend.

Experiencia positiva: This is a very nice location, as well as, a nice facility. My trainer on the 3rd floor knew her stuff. She analyzed what I thought was the problem and found a totally different reason for my pains. She was on point. If you need a place for therapy this is the place to come to. Now I can keep on keeping on!

Experiencia fantástica: Great PT, mellow vibe.

Experiencia positiva: My therapist is very attentive and easygoing. She has given a well-detailed analysis of my situation and how to attack the problem. The environment is welcoming. The music in the therapist building is on point. I would give it a 4.5 if it allowed me to. The only complaint is the parking. Very..... different. But hey, it's L.A.

Experiencia fantástica: Mike and his colleague, Christina, have been amazing. I’m feeling improvement already after 3 sessions. They are serious about helping you get back to 100% but keep it fun and lighthearted.I recommend you give Evolution a try if you are suffering and could benefit from PT!

Experiencia fantástica: Location is great. Gym has all the equipment you’ll need, and it’s clean! I’ve been training with Raham since October 2022 and have seen great improvement in my physique, endurance, and overall mental health. Raham listens to your goals and makes them come true! Maybe most importantly, he makes working out fun and something to look forward to. He’s a sweet, funny, and respectful trainer. 10/10 would recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Jacqueline is an amazing PT. She is professional, friendly and very committed to her patients. The work we have done together has made a huge difference in my recovery from injury. I can count on her to be honest and creative with me. I would recommend her to anyone

Experiencia fantástica: I love coming here for Physical Therapy. All the people who work here are knowledgeable and super friendly and supportive. They focus on healing then strengthening your muscles for a full recovery that will takes care of the root cause.

Experiencia fantástica: Professional, trustworthy, friendly, and empathetic all around.

Experiencia fantástica: Brook has been terrific, and within a week my back is already feeling better. She has use some techniques on me that have reduced my pain that I have been living with for months.

Experiencia fantástica: Brooke has been a wonderful physical therapist. She has helped me with my back spasms and given me exercises and stretches that I can easily do at home.

Experiencia fantástica: David Gasster - is truly a fantastic PT! - knowledgeable, and someone who does care about your health and well being

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone is so nice and caring!My PT Sophia is absolutely a gem!I’ve been to many Pt places in my life and nothing like Sophia and evolution!

Experiencia fantástica: Manreet is the best. She knows what she is doing, she gives all her expertise to you. She is a gigantic asset to Evolution. She really cares about her patients, and makes sure you get great care. I always make sure that when I go there I have her as my therapist.

Experiencia fantástica: David is outstanding therapist listen to your needs and explain all exercises so you can do them at home

Experiencia fantástica: Cannot say enough great things about the staff at the PV location: all trained on the latest technologies, science and research. Most of them have PhDs in Physical Therapy so it's the best place on the West Side for getting all the cutting-edge therapy to help you heal and come back to doing the things you love to do. They are also very good at pushing you to get results. My mom is a PT/OT in Florida. She has been providing her own feedback to me, as a professional therapist. Have also been coming here for two years thanks to a series of ankle injuries and subsequent treatments.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone here is fantastic. The staff at Evolution are so welcoming and encouraging, it’s a great environment to work on your physical therapy. I’ve spent most of my time with Manreet, Gretchen, and Janelle. They are amazing- patient, kind, and have made me feel so safe and cared for! I can’t stress enough how important their help has been. PT is a journey and I’m so glad to have their support. The front desk team is a warm welcome every time I come in (Dom + Barbara, I’m looking at you) and they are great at reminding me when the schedule is open to book more appointments. Also, shout out to therapists Brooke, Jackie, and Robin who I have also worked with and are excellent! You can’t go wrong choosing to come to Evolution.

Experiencia fantástica: Totally happy with your p.t. just what i need thank you

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic therapist. Thorough, kind and sharp.

Experiencia fantástica: Gretchen is really amazing. I feel like I work hard and they teach me everything I need to know to continue to build at home. I've been to other PT where they just stick you on a machine or give you an ice pack and a few stretches and send you on your way, THIS IS NOT THAT. They actually help you rehab and heal. 10/10

Experiencia fantástica: Great facility - attention to detail and amazing Care! It is a great opportunity to have Nate care for you!
