IPA Physio Orange County

Experiencia fantástica: IPA Physio's team saved me from surgery! They were my last hope and Pete proved he can do what no one else could. 18 months of PT and I was able to get out of a chair and get back to the volleyball court. THANK YOU IPA Physio!

Experiencia fantástica: IPA Physio is first rate from beginning to end. The front office staff are very friendly and professional. The therapist took time to listen and never seemed distracted or rushed during any of my visits. The care I received was better than I could have imagined and I would recommend the office without hesitation.

Experiencia fantástica: From the front desk staff to the therapists, the care I have received at IPA Physio has been top notch. I have been working with Dr. Pete for treatment on a lingering injury. I appreciate the focus identifying the root cause of the injury, which means looking at movement patterns throughout the entire body. I have learned so much during my treatment, which has consisted of manual therapy as well as strengthening exercises. I have even been able to continue activity throughout my treatment. I am grateful to have found such a fantastic PT clinic and I would highly recommend IPA Physio to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been working with IPA physio weekly for close to two years. They have helped me tremendously with the maintenance of my body. I would highly recommend working with the Physios at IPA before you feel physical discomfort, they will be able to detect and solve the problem before it arises.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience with IPA Physio has been nothing short of wonderful. The staff are professional, knowledgeable, and transparent. The facility is clean and well maintained. I highly recommend IPA Physio to anyone looking to heal in an environment filled with positivity and care.

Experiencia fantástica: IPA Physio has been great for all of my therapy and rehab needs. Their facilities are excellent. All of the staff are very knowledgeable, and also pleasant people to work with. I look forward to working side by side with them in the future!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been visiting IPA Physio for the past 18 months and have found it to be an outstanding experience. I typically visit on a weekly/bi-weekly basis and have sought their care for a variety of different injuries. The staff are incredibly warm and welcoming and help to create a positive and enjoyable environment. The clinic itself is clean and well-equipped. One aspect I particularly appreciate is the private consultation/physio rooms where I’m able to receive treatment and openly discuss my condition with my physio. The care that I have received has always been thorough and attentive and I have found the staff to be extremely knowledgeable and professional. I am always afforded the opportunity to explain my condition in full detail whilst feeling like I am being listened to. I don’t feel rushed or interrupted. I’ve been impressed with IPA’s level of clear communication and their dedication to taking the time to customize a treatment plan that is tailored specifically to me. They do an excellent job at modifying any exercises that I’m not able to complete and I never feel pressured or embarrassed during those moments. I would highly recommend IPA Physio to anyone wanting to rehab an injury or have any questions about their physical health answered.

Experiencia fantástica: Incredible place that gave me one of the few real opportunities for relief from pain from my L5-S1 DDD. With a pain of 10+, each day's pain threshold resetting higher, Kevin was able to give me the tools to use to finally break from the tortuous hold this condition had on me and I was able to avoid surgery! Pain free today!

Experiencia fantástica: My time working with IPA Physio has been a really great experience! All of the therapists are extremely knowledgeable and are always willing to go the extra mile to ensure I’m getting the best care possible. I have been dealing with an injury for the past several months, but have seen steady progress and that’s all thanks to IPA. I highly recommend that anyone who is seeking physical therapy should start here!

Experiencia fantástica: IPA Physio is not a physical therapy factory, where too often you do not get individual care. The IPA team will provide a focused professional who focuses on just you for an hour, and that same therapist will continue your care. In the long run, I think that this results in a quicker result, which is a win-win situation.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been having the pleasure of going to IPA for nearly two years now. This is a place that will make you feel welcome, taken care of and that the focus is solely on you from the second you walk in. Specially for me as a professional athlete it’s crucial to take care of my body. They have guided me through different injuries but most important of all helped keep me healthy in tough parts of our season. In addition to having wide but still specific knowledge and ensuring you quality treatment, i’ve been lucky enough to enjoy stimulating conversations about everything from sports, movies, where the best waves are to how important your posture is. Their music taste is excellent as well. This is honest and hard working people who will listen and do their best to make you better. A good tip; ask about their own IPA water when you go!

Experiencia fantástica: For over 12 years I have been in physical therapy due to numerous surgeries. I can only say IPA Physio is 20 steps above any therapy group I have attended. Kevin my therapist will spend the entire hour working and solving the issue. I can honestly say IPA PHYSIO works to solve the issue and for me has helped with my chronic pain. Thank you so much Kevin.

Experiencia fantástica: I've worked with quite a few physical therapists in my time as a professional soccer player, so I've come to really appreciate when you find good ones. My experience with IPA Physio has been so professional. The facilities, the knowledge of the body, and most important, the care. I know that when I walk in the building I am going to work with someone who cares about effective treatment and making sure I am in a better place when I get off the table. They aren't there just to tick a box, they are there to make sure I get better. I'm so thankful for the team at IPA Physio because I can TRUST that the work they are doing and the prescribed exercises I'm getting are putting me on the right path. Thanks IPA!

Experiencia fantástica: Over the course of almost two years, IPA Physio have assisted me with physical therapy, and strengthening areas of weakness in my body. In this period I have gone through a series of different injuries and issues that the talented professionals at IPA have helped me overcome and work on. The personalized treatment plan was effective, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking quality physical therapy!

Experiencia fantástica: Working with IPA Physio has been wonderful! Their expertise and dedication are truly unparalleled. Every session I experience real commitment to my recovery and well-being. Their patient attitudes and deep understanding of my needs have resulted in remarkable improvements. IPA Physio is not just therapy but true healing. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of exceptional physical therapy care. They are simply the best!

Experiencia fantástica: The best!!! They helped me recover from an injury that had been stopping me from practicing sports for over 18 months and other doctors could not figure out; personalized program, great level of detail and relevant information to help you improve quickly. On top of that, great service, super responsive, flexible and supportive all the way, from questions on the program to rescheduling, i cannot recommend them enough

Experiencia fantástica: I'm very grateful for the care my son received at IPA. Through a friend's recommendation for vestibular issues, we were led to Jessica at IPA. She and the staff helped my son through the scary acute stage of dizziness to regaining his balance and enjoying life again. Jessica is very knowledgeable and was quick to respond to all our questions outside of the PT sessions. The individualized and high quality care was key in helping my son get better in a couple months time. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend IPA Physio! I worked with Ryan and Jessica and they are both amazing. I had neck pain with every movement when I went in and now no pain at all. They also fixed my knee issues. I will never go anywhere else!

Experiencia fantástica: IPA and Pete are simply the best. I have been to numerous resources for injuries and overall body health and mechanics, and no one compares. They are highly knowledgeable, professional, and go way beyond what a typical PT would provide. Highly Recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: IPA came highly recommended to us for an issue with my son’s knee. While in therapy for his knee, we mentioned that he had felt pain in his elbow while pitching in a baseball game the weekend prior. The therapist examined him and immediately knew that it needed to be looked at further and referred to us an orthopedic doctor. After many opinions, it became clear that his elbow required surgery. I am forever grateful to IPA for identifying the issue quickly. Had it not been for their decisive action, we likely would have rested the elbow and returned to play not knowing the significance of the issue and causing further damage. We have been seeing IPA for almost a year now. They have taken extreme care with the rehab of both my son’s knee and elbow. The post-surgery protocol for his elbow is significant. They have gone above and beyond to coordinate with the surgeon and to create a plan that my son executes at home on our off days. I cannot say enough about the personalized and professional care that we have received at IPA. They are simply outstanding.

Experiencia fantástica: I truly cannot say enough good things about IPA Physio. To start, the front desk team is warm, friendly, and helpful. The energy among the entire staff is upbeat and contagious. I have had the privilege of working with Dr. Kevin Hartsough for neck and shoulder pain, likely due to a previous car accident and additional whiplash injuries from roller coasters (the Harry Potter ride at Universal was ALMOST worth the chronic pain I have been experiencing...). Although it is a long process to heal, Kevin is extremely thorough and knowledgeable and I trust him wholeheartedly. He is also deeply dedicated to what he does and he genuinely cares about his patients. After having a flare-up of symptoms after a deep tissue massage (not at IPA, to clarify), I e-mailed Kevin and he took time after work hours to FaceTime me, understand my symptoms, and help manage them while on I was on vacation. Additionally, I was fortunate enough to have Dr. Pete Rumford join in on a session with Kevin to learn more about my symptoms and understand how to support. I admired that Pete was all-in, really wanting to understand my pain points and collaborate with Kevin to figure out how to help alleviate my symptoms. I have also worked with Dr. Kat Wong, who is not only a complete ray of sunshine, but also super attentive and skilled in what she does. I plan to continue seeing her for pelvic floor therapy and treatments to strengthen that region that has been a bit neglected. My husband sees Dr. Spencer Lee and has said only positive things as well. He has been focused on incorporating Spencer's stretches and exercises into his routine and is looking forward to continuing to improve his mobility. To the team at IPA Physio- thank you for everything!

Experiencia fantástica: I've been super happy with my progress working with Spencer. I had an L4/L5 herniation and microdiscectomy in January, and Spencer took me from post op PT back to my athletic endeavors and I'm back to rock climbing, running, surfing, and everything I was doing prior with minimal to no pain. All this while based around a busy schedule and only 1-2 sessions a month (with lots of PT homework for me to do while I was at work).

Experiencia fantástica: I was diagnosed with golfer's elbow a few months ago, and it was really starting to affect my ability to play sports and even do some simple tasks around the house. I was referred to Dr. Spencer Lee at IPA Physio Orange County, and I'm so glad I was. Dr. Lee was very thorough in his assessment of my elbow, and he was able to quickly identify the cause of my pain. He explained the condition to me in a way that I could understand, and he outlined a treatment plan that he was confident would help me recover. After a few months of treatment, I started to notice a significant improvement in my pain. I'm so grateful to Dr. Lee for helping me recover from my golfer's elbow. He is a skilled and knowledgeable physical therapist, and he truly cares about his patients. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is suffering from any type of pain.

Experiencia fantástica: I was hesitant on going at first. I kept with it, and now I feel way better. The PT’s have good people!

Experiencia fantástica: Pete and the IPA Physio team are incredible. They discuss, diagnose and treat in the most efficient and professional manner possible. I have been to enough PT's to know that they are the best.

Experiencia fantástica: My therapy at IPA has been amazing. I’ve had an arthritic knee since childhood with limited mobility and increasing pain. There were days I had to crawl up to my 2nd floor. But I really believe there’s so much we can do before resorting to pain meds and surgery. I wanted to be treated by people who would come alongside me as I invested in my own recovery. I found exactly that in Spencer. I was really impressed by how knowledgeable he is. In the few months he’s been treating me, most of my pain is gone and my mobility has increased. I’m exercising and climbing freely again. He understands what I want out of my body and works hard to get me there. He corrected my movement patters and I’m back to lifting close to my old numbers. The front desk is very professional as well. They’re organized and always greet me by name. Everything is done in a timely manner. I can’t ask for more.

Experiencia fantástica: I had the good fortune to find IPA Physio. As a physical therapist myself, I know exceptional care when I see it. I thought I was headed for surgery with a neck issue, but after 6 visits with IPA Physio, my strength and function has returned to normal. They provide one on one therapy uninterrupted for an entire hour which is unheard of in today's PT clinics. They are highly skilled with their manual techniques and I strongly urge you to consider them should you need PT.

Experiencia fantástica: IPA Physio was recommended by my nutritionist. I had chronic hip and back pain and I couldn't go about my daily activities normally. I had hip injuries and couldn't sit in the car for more than 15 min. I thought it will take me months to be normal again. With only 4 sessions I was able to walk with no pain and the soreness was gone. I could now sit for hours in the car with no pain. I am grateful for their effectiveness and kindness and my body has never felt better. Thank you IPA.

Experiencia fantástica: I started going to IPA Physio a year and a half ago and couldn’t be happier with the treatment I have received and the results I have had. They have been very knowledgeable and effective identifying the sources of my pain and tightness, working on those issues during my sessions and giving me a plan for what to work on in-between sessions. I strongly recommend IPA Physio.

Experiencia fantástica: IPA is a lifesaver to our entire family! I was originally referred to IPA by a good friend after I had foot surgery that didn't eliminate the constant pain I was suffering from. After a couple of months of going to IPA and learning exercises etc., my pain diminished and I was able to go back to my active life. My husband also goes to IPA after many years of pain in his knees from being a soccer player and he too is now able to be active again. We also have a teenage son that is an elite athlete and the therapists at IPA are always able to help him quickly get back to his sport after minor injuries and pain from growing and excess training. I highly recommend all of the therapists and would encourage you to go there before you decide to have surgery!

Experiencia fantástica: I was so lucky to find Jessica Workman for physical therapy. She is a miracle worker! And not your average PT. Instead of just treating the symptoms with exercises I had to do at home, she physically manipulated my body to re-balance it at the source of the problem. It was sometimes painful but completely got me back in action after a surgery and saved me from future surgeries. I highly recommend Jessica for what ails you. Her approach is unique and impactful.

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic physical therapy service. Instead of seeing the PT for 5-10 minutes at the start and then being sent to do exercises, Pete and team work with you on the manual manipulations for the whole hour, then trust that you're going to do the homework on your own.

Experiencia fantástica: IPA has a unique model that really works. The entire hour is spent with a highly skilled physician -that seem to be looking at your issue through an entirely different scope than traditional physical therapists do. Their insights are quite astonishing. The manual therapy clears the “road blocks” and then they show you exercises that will change how you live and move in your body. I’m very grateful that my doctor recommended IPA to me!

Experiencia fantástica: I was working through a lingering injury and my therapist gave me strength and mobility work to help get me back to 100%. The care and attention that went into my program was above and beyond any PT clinic I have been to before. The front office is very friendly and professional. You get a whole hour with your PT here and at most PT clinics, you only get 20-30 minutes. This combined with incredibly knowledgeable and experienced therapists makes all the difference in getting to the root of your problem and fixing it!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a patient at IPA for 9 months. I have been a PT patient for over 10 years, for various injuries and rehab post spine surgery. Let me tell you the IPA philosophy and approach is the only way to go. Standard PT treats the part, not the whole system. IPA treats the whole system, the whole person. Because it is ALL connected. How is your stress level? Your sleep? Your diet? AND.. unlike regular PT, they don’t put pressure on you to perform exercises and hit goals like a trained monkey. You go at your pace, your comfort level. It is about continuous progress, not perfection. If something doesn’t feel right, there is no push thru mentality, it’s let’s back off that approach and attack from a different angle. Unlike most PT factories, where you are 1 in room of 20 tables, getting 15 minutes with the therapist. At IPA you get a full 1:1 60 minute session. As the patient you drive the session, you tell your therapist what you need to focus on and together in partnership you develop a plan. The front office staff is also fabulous, they help navigate insurance, send in the bills, they are prompt when you call or text and always so sweet. The last nine months have been a game changer for me and my physical wellbeing. My therapist, Kat, diagnosed the root cause of the issue I have had for four years. I finally have relief and we continue to work on improving my day to day life, more mobility and a significant reduction in pain.

Experiencia fantástica: After my knee surgery, I attended IPA Physio for PT and I couldn't be happier with the progress I've made in my recovery. Their staff is very skilled and knowledgeable and provided me the care and support that made a full recovery possible. I highly recommend IPA Physio for your PT needs.

Experiencia fantástica: I started going to IPA Physio a year and a half ago and couldn’t be happier with the treatment I have received and the results I have had. They have been very knowledgeable and effective identifying the sources of my pain and tightness, working on those issues during my sessions and giving me a plan for what to work on in-between sessions. I strongly recommend IPA Physio.

Experiencia fantástica: I got such great treatment here. I’m sure everyone that works here is great but Spencer helped me out so much. I have been to so many places for my back and leg pain but Spencer really gave me a very personalized treatment for my specific problems and it is very evident to at he cares so much about what he does and gives everyone’s problems 100% effort

Experiencia fantástica: Spencer‘s has helped both my husband and myself. Within 3 to 4 visits my husband‘s sciatica pain was completely gone. After injuring my left side and neck from falling several times, Spencer helped me to increase my mobility and greatly decreased my pain. He is very hands-on. Change is through direct manipulation. I have seen many different types of practitioners to seek relief and right away Spencer eliminated the nervy feeling down my arms and hands. He amazingly has straighten my leg, loosened my ankle and my hip. I no longer swing my leg around in order to walk. I have much better control over my entire body and I am eternally grateful.

Experiencia fantástica: I saw Dr. Kat Wong at IPA Physio for several sessions. Dr. Kat is caring, so easy to talk to and work with. She has techniques that helped soothing my pain. She has extensive knowledge not only in physical therapy in general but also in pelvic floor therapy. I highly recommend Dr. Kat, especially when it comes to a need for pelvic floor therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: I have gone to this place multiple times for check ups and to help relieve muscle tightness and problems I was having with my joints. All staff were supper friendly and kind through out the whole process. During the appointments I immediately found relief and was very comfortable. They also provided lots of accommodations like water, snacks, and also provided at home stretches I could do on my own. Would highly recommend this place.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to IPA Physio OC for the last 2 months and the changes I have experienced while working with Kat in that time have been amazing. IPA Physio OC's entire staff have been a joy to work with from Michelle and Hannah at the front greeting me to working with Kat for the entire hour instead of the 15-20 minutes with a PT that normally occurs at traditional insurance based clinics before going off on your own for exercises. I have a history of a L4-5 microdiscectomy surgery in 2016 after neural tension/pain down my leg from a weight lifting accident that was causing significant challenges to sitting, most forms of movement and sleeping. While my pain went away after the surgery, my ability to return to my prior activities like recreational soccer (played college soccer prior to the surgery) and running did not return even after going to physical therapy. Something always felt off, stuck or not stable enough whenever I tried to do any of my higher forms of activity like running, playing soccer and weightlifting. From the beginning with Kat, she took the time to listen to my story and evaluated my whole body to see how each body part played a role in my current lifestyle/movement challenges. Unlike many other physical therapy places, IPA Physio does not focus on 1 body part and takes the entire person into consideration during each treatment. After every visit, my body felt more mobile and more importantly, more stable. I felt like I was able to move easier and obtain positions I had not been able to get into for over 4 years. I felt more and more confident that I would be able to reach my goals and I have been able to return to running pain and mobility restriction free. After my first run, I realized how much I enjoyed and missed running and am extremely thankful for Kat and all of her hard work to help me find that joy again. Another welcomed benefit of being treated at IPA Physio is since they focus not only on your pain but on improving the entire body's ability to function better, I have seen an improvement in my ability to complete my own work duties. I work as a physical therapist and have felt more connected to my body while treating my own patients which has helped me more effectively provide care to them and help them reach their goals. Thank you Kat and the rest of the IPA Physio OC staff for all your hard work in helping me reach my goals.

Experiencia fantástica: Had several sessions with Spencer. Did a great job diagnosing and fixing a shoulder issue for me. Highly reccomend.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience at IPA Physio with Dr. Pete and his excellent staff. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was a clean and modern facility, and that they offer complimentary top-shelf snacks and water. Pete saw me right on time and got to work assessing and treating my injury. He gave me a detailed treatment plan to follow. Most importantly, my shoulder felt much better after I left. Thank you IPA Physio!

Experiencia fantástica: IPA came highly recommended to me by a friend. I've had chronic back pain & mobility issues from a curved spine, plus shoulder limitations from 3 surgeries. As someone who has had years worth of physical therapy over the last 20 years, I can attest to the precision of care I received at IPA. The office is well run and very friendly, easy to schedule, plus text reminders were helpful, and my appointments impressively started on time. Plus, I loved the stocked mini-fridge in the waiting area. But the test is in the care... Pete was my PT, and there was a wide range of techniques he employed with each session. It was a combination of him working on my trouble spots, as well as teaching me how to more effectively stretch for alleviating muscle fatigue/soreness. After each session, I felt like I met with a personal trainer, a physiology teacher, a physical therapist, and had deep tissue massage. It's a comprehensive experience where a lot happens in 1 hour, both receiving care and feeling better equipped for self-care. I can say for days after my sessions at IPA, I felt looser and more balanced, like my tightness was lifted. That's not something I've experienced after a PT appointment. All told, I thank IPA for offering something effective, unique, and personal, and am grateful because my body has never felt better.

Experiencia fantástica: I was recommended by my health coach to find a physical therapist who focuses on kinesiology to fix my posture, which led me to IPA Physio. Spencer was my physical therapist for five months in 2019/2020. The experience was professional and he helped create lasting improvement in my mobility and posture. He took the time to create a thorough daily routine for me to maintain all of the improvements I had seen throughout the therapy, which I have continued following to this day. I feel that I am rather knowledgeable about health and wellness, however I gained valuable information through the education I received from Spencer regarding body mechanics, proper posture and mobility. Spencer implemented various techniques to help improve my stiff or tight areas including cupping, deep tissue work, and stretching to name a few. Recently I started physical therapy at a new location since I now live in Arizona and it is a stark comparison. The personal attention and guidance I received from Spencer is unmatched compared to visiting a traditional physical therapy location. I recommend having a consultation with Spencer if you are serious about your rehabilitation and health goals.

Experiencia fantástica: Inexpressible thankfulness for this clinic… hey PT’s out there check this out!! -after 1st visit I could breathe better, kick my right foot as high as my left (they didn’t even touch my leg/hip ) -after 3rd visit I could sleep deeply on my right without this deep huge stretch along my entire back (have NOT been able to >5 years) -had a concussion hitting the back of my head on concrete, weeklong headache fixed in ONE session -2 wks of vertigo started after the headache from the concussion, they fixed this in ONE session, mobilizing my skull and scalp (amazingggggg) -in the beginning my right vocal cords were hoarse compared to my left, now they are even in strength and sound (SO COOL) -head to toe nerve problems (>10 years) are FINALLY getting fixed I’m also a DPT, been working on myself for years, stretch/exercise/run/travel regularly, snowboard 20yrs, went to a couple PT’s, an akinesiologist, who were all only able to fix my problems temporarily, was told by other PT’s that I was FAKING all my head to toe nerve problems… I met Greg and his therapists at a conference last October, took all these courses from them and was just mind blown! Started therapy here last November, seeing them 1x/wk vs every other… every other other wk depending on work schedule Transformative, incredibly insightful, thoughtful and loving therapists here!! Thank you Kat, Spencer, Pete, Greg for taking the time, letting me problem solve with y’all, teaching me in the midst of treating me!!!! Everyone is awesome here, LOVE that all the therapists there get mentored regularly by the crazy brains/creators of their techniques The healing journey continues!!! And I get to take my first course with them April fool’s weekend

Experiencia fantástica: I could not recommend this team enough! I have had issues with my right shoulder for the last 4 years. It got to the point where my hand was frequently numb, I was constantly in pain at work, and I couldn’t enjoy activities that I once did without fear of injuring my shoulder (surfing, lifting, etc.). I talked with a couple of surgeons, went to PT’s where they just “took me through the motions”, and tried PT by myself. The issue progressively got worse. Within a month of working with the IPA Physio OC team, I finally had results that I never had from those past four years. After several months, the numbness in my hand was completely gone, and I was was able to resume the activities I enjoy. Over the past year I have continued to see progress by following the guidance and exercises given to me. I truly am grateful to have worked with them. Worth the drive from LA with rush hour traffic every time!

Experiencia fantástica: I've made great progress at IPA for my low back and hip issues that have been getting steadily worse for years. I'm excited that it is finally getting better and my mobility is increasing and pain decreasing. They have a different approach that most PTs and it is all 1 on 1 with your PT.

Experiencia fantástica: Quite simply, IPA is the absolute best physical therapy that I have ever received. The offices are super clean and professional, the staff is very friendly and accommodating, and the therapy is top - notch. I am a fan and if and when i need PT in the future, it will be at IPA.

Experiencia fantástica: I am a long distance runner that runs primarily in the mountains. In July while coming down a steep trail I tripped and partially tore my hamstring. From the start I knew this would be a long recovery and that I needed to get the right team working on me. I was referred to IPA Physio by a fellow runner. After doing some research on them I was confident they would be a fit. I was looking for a specialized practice and not a run of the mill practice that gets you to work with an aid doing exercises. After talking to Kat on the phone I was “ almost convinced “ she and I would work well together. I say almost as one never knows what actually happens once treatment starts. I was pleasantly surprised as to what I learnt about IPA on my evaluation. Each therapist works one on one with the patient. No assistants or aides. That was a first! Kat and I put a rehab plan together that would work for me and we started. I worked at whatever she threw my way no matter how much I disliked it with one thing in mind “ my race on December 4th “. This time I listened rather than told and 2.5 months later I was back running and building back my endurance. My race went off without any issues. A 100% healed hamstring, a stronger core and a lot more flexibility. I am now “ 100% convinced “ that if it was not for Kat and IPA Physio I would not have had these results. One thing I will note that without the patient putting in the work no amount of therapy will heal you. Work hard and get results.

Experiencia fantástica: In my past there are years of intense activities like heavy strength training, boxing and BJJ with some inevitable injuries. I've done some minimal stretching coupled with some chiro sessions, but not much more. Eventually I had to give up heavy squats because of debilitating knee pain. Some Youtube videos encouraged me to try some physical therapy and I'm happy I did! After a few sessions with Spencer from the Irvine office I am now able to squat heavy again without any knee pain whatsoever. I started light, expecting the pain to creep in, as it always does. It didn't, so I've been adding weight every training and my knees are pain-free. That alone is worth the money, but Spencer has been working on a few other issues I have, like stiff shoulders, hips, back. Things that I assumed are just the price to pay for intense activities have actually gotten much better. It's like a mini-reset for the body that will allow me to perform at higher levels than before.

Experiencia fantástica: After churning through 4-5 physical therapists for lower back/hip/sciatic issues with almost zero results, I finally landed at IPA Physio in Irvine. This was the first place in over two years where I was able to make significant progress in reducing pain. Staff has real expertise and work to identify and treat you as an individual. I wish I had come here when I first started having pain!

Experiencia fantástica: IPA Physio has helped me with multiple orthopedic conditions, posture issues and pain. My pain level was 8/10 before I started my treatments with IPA and after 2 months all of my pain was decreased tremendously! They gave me back my life quality and I’m so glad I’ve found them. Other PT-places can only offer 20/40 min manual therapy sessions, but the 1 hour functional manual therapy session is totally worth the investment, for a happier and healthier life. I cannot thank IPA enough for their work and commitment to helping patients get out of pain.

Experiencia fantástica: I was referred to IPA from another REALLY GOOD PT - however my condition is extremely complex and rare. I went at the recommendation of another PT I was seeing and prior to having major surgery. After two visits with IPA I had more range of motion and less pain than I have had in years. They took their time with me, there was no rush, a full hour (plus more on the 1st visit due to my extensive medical history). The Doctor was thoughtful, caring, compassionate, NOT BURNED OUT, and very knowledgeable in my condition. She showed me things that are related which no one else has ever mentioned. I have really good insurance and have been to the best doctors/surgeons etc. Yet IPA found things that have been overlooked. I continued for about 2 weeks and was amazed at the gain of function in such a short period of time. The home exercises are well demonstrated and you don't forget them by the time you get home. The office staff is super nice and really tries to accommodate appointments that fit your schedule and travel preferences (avoiding traffic LOL). I highly highly suggest if you are on the fence of trying IPA - give them two visits and I guarantee you they will impress you. I am happy to personally share my experience with anyone. I am not a ROBOT posting a fake review. IPA knows me Renee M. Call them and leave your # and I will give you a call. I don't put my personal info on the internet but I want everyone to know this review is from a VERY HAPPY PATIENT!

Experiencia fantástica: After receiving treatment at various physical therapy offices throughout my life, I can confidently say IPA Physio is the best place for pain management and treatment! I cannot recommend them enough. While other places give you a handful of exercises and send you off, IPA Physio searches for the root of the problem, identifies it, and explains how they (and you) are going to fix it. This is exactly what I was searching for. I had the privilege of being treated by Kat Wong. What stood out to me most was this: her advice and instructions genuinely HELPED me. I could actually feel the difference in my posture, which helped reduce my pain. She even changed the way I walk. I will carry her tips and advice throughout the rest of my life! Thank you IPA Physio and Kat!

Experiencia fantástica: In my past there are years of intense activities like heavy strength training, boxing and BJJ with some inevitable injuries. I've done some minimal stretching coupled with some chiro sessions, but not much more. Eventually I had to give up heavy squats because of debilitating knee pain. Some Youtube videos encouraged me to try some physical therapy and I'm happy I did! After a few sessions with Spencer from the Irvine office I am now able to squat heavy again without any knee pain whatsoever. I started light, expecting the pain to creep in, as it always does. It didn't, so I've been adding weight every training and my knees are pain-free. That alone is worth the money, but Spencer has been working on a few other issues I have, like stiff shoulders, hips, back. Things that I assumed are just the price to pay for intense activities have actually gotten much better. It's like a mini-reset for the body that will allow me to perform at higher levels than before.

Experiencia fantástica: IPA Physio improved my life so much!! They realigned my coccyx and taught me certain exercises to relieve/avoid pain. My mobility has improved so much! I’m so glad I went to them; I really recommend them :)

Experiencia fantástica: From front desk to therapists , IPA Physio is amazing. I have been to many PT clinics in my adult life, and this is by far the best. They are extremely knowledgeable, and intuitive with their treatments. I travel an hour to my appointment and it is worth every mile. When I arrive, I feel accepted, motivated, challenged, and empowered to overcome my physical limitations and excel in my life. If you're dealing with pain or bodily problems, even if you've gone to traditional PT in the past, give IPA Physio a try. It just might change your life.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Pete Rumford is an excellent physical therapist and I would highly recommend him to anyone! I suffered a hamstring injury around the time that COVID shutdowns began. I visited a sports doctor in search of treatment options, but the only advice they gave me was to ride a bike. Since everything was shut down, I attempted doing rehab myself for a couple of months, but nothing seemed to work. I signed up for a virtual consultation with a physical therapist I found online. He suggested manual therapy and recommended I visit Dr. Rumford. I showed up to Dr. Rumford’s office in pretty bad condition – unable to put any weight or extend the injured leg. But just after our first session, I began feeling much better. He was able to quickly analyze my situation and develop a plan to assist in my recovery process. After each session, Dr. Rumford would email me a specialized plan to continue my rehab at home. Thankfully, he was able to get me back on my feet and doing all the things I love to do. The IPA Physio facility is very nice and clean, and the staff members are awesome! I would like to thank Spencer for taking my wife’s phone calls when Dr. Rumford was unavailable and thank you to Hannah for helping us schedule our appointments during times that best worked for us. And thanks again to Dr. Rumford for everything! - Chris

Experiencia fantástica: I was referred to IPA Physio by my Functional Medicine MD. She told me that "Pete and his team are levels above anyone else" and I so went. I travelled 32 miles one way for PT sessions to be treated for peroneal tendonitis. Nothing else was working, not podiatrist tweaking my custom orthotics or their laser treatments. Only the expertise of Pete and Spencer to treat me, and more importantly, TEACH me proper exercises to strengthen core, abs, gluts and feet. I thought I was doing core exercises properly, even with trainers, but clearly other muscles groups took over,. So I am dedicated daily to doing these exercises, which along with their treatments, are sending me back to recovery and hopefully another 200 miles on El Camino (post COVID). I recommend this group without reservation!!

Experiencia fantástica: Pete & Spencer have been fantastic in assisting me in dealing with both shoulder & hip lingering pain issues. I tried to work them out on my own to no avail. They've worked together to identify and treat both issues and after a few weeks, things are very much improved. I highly recommend the services they offer. Great guys, positive attitudes, great communications, clean offices and great service!

Experiencia fantástica: Pete helped me resolve a long-standing jaw and neck issue that had started to effect my quality of life. He took the time to really listen and understand the problem, and took a diligent and thoughtful approach to resolving the problem. He provided exercises to work on at home and followed up with me to keep track of my progress and how I was feeling. Even as an LA resident there’s no one else I’d trust to help resolve any future physical problems. I highly recommend Pete and IPO Physio.

Experiencia fantástica: IPA Physio is fantastic, been there several times and would not hesitate to go back or refer a friend, which I have done on multiple occasions. I was able to avoid a shoulder surgery by just doing what they told me to do, great friend of mine had the same results only with a major back surgery. Highly recommend, especially if a doctor is recommending surgery, much better to try to work it out through physical therapy if possible

Experiencia fantástica: After suffering with scoliosis, sciatica, and other back and leg pain for the past five years, I started treatment at IPA. After about two months of weekly treatment, and doing my home exercises, my pain has definitely lessened and my mobility and posture have improved. In the past, I have tried other therapies, including chiro, acupuncture, massage, and PT, without much success. I highly recommend IPA - their knowledge and professionalism is truly outstanding.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Rumford resolved my chronic problem in one visit! He took the time to really understand the issue and develop a plan to permanently resolve it. I've been to many PT, and he is by far the best!

Experiencia fantástica: This place is AMAZING, not your typical place they are special and can fix anything. I send everyone to them now. So happy I found them

Experiencia fantástica: These guys are really great. I worked with Kat and Pete after a knee injury and received top notch treatment. Studio is nice and they were very good at explaining things and answering questions too.

Experiencia fantástica: I went to see Dr. Peter after chronic issues with my SI joints and lower back resulting from two lower back surgeries 10 and 20 years ago. Over this time, I have been to many physical therapists, but Dr. Peter is special. He did a comprehensive assessment and spent as much time as I needed to understand the issues. He created a treatment plan that has been extremely effective. In addition, he coordinated and communicated my treatment plan to my general practitioner and personal trainer to create continuity for my healing. I have improved tremendously and continue to go see Dr. Peter as I trust him with my health. His personality and deep knowledge of human anatomy and physiology coupled with his innovative and effective methods make Dr. Peter my go to for any physical therapy needs.

Experiencia fantástica: IPA Physio is incredible! As I was training for a marathon, I worked with the team to ensure my body was in tip top shape. They helped me with preparation, stretching, and injury prevention. Without IPA Physio, I'm not sure I would have been able to accomplish my lifelong goal of running a marathon! Extremely knowledgeable and customer service oriented, I wouldn't recommend anyone else!

Experiencia fantástica: I have spent the last year and a half with knee pain following a meniscus tear resulting in surgery. The surgeon made note of arthritis during surgery. I have done multiple procedures this year, Including PRP. Initially I had a good result, but about 5 months after the PRP my knee pain gradually came back. My son is currently a Physical Therapy student and searched for what he thought would be the best step for me to try to avoid replacement surgery. He found IPA Physio in his search and the credentials that Pete and Spencer have were exactly what he was looking for. After only one month of weekly therapy with both Pete and Spencer, I have had tremendous results. The sessions are total one on one, working not only on my knee but working on mechanics which are contributing to my pain. I like that they work to incorporate exercises and suggestions to improve the condition long term. You will not be disappointed with the phenomenal work that Pete and Spencer are doing!

Experiencia fantástica: After a few months of numbness in my foot (and some neck stiffness) due to an injury, I made my first ever PT visit. In one session, Dr. Spencer Lee identified the problem, worked on it there, and gave me at-home stretches and movements I can do to keep working on it. But beyond that, Dr. Lee is kind, patient, professional, and highly skilled in his practice. He listened well, and offered constructive feedback in a way that made me feel safe and not inferior (my posture needs work!). Dr. Lee has my highest recommendation!

Experiencia fantástica: Physical therapy 1 by IPA Physio changed my life - I was struggling with back injury for more than 2 years now, tried everything and and finally discovered IPA Physio. I highly recommend it!

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend IPA Physio as this advanced physical therapy office offers extraordinarily knowledgeable therapists who are also very talented and compassionate with their treatment.

Experiencia fantástica: IPA Physio is excellent. I couldn't do much athletically given the pain in my right shoulder and now I'm able to do almost anything that I want. Thank you IPA Physio!

Experiencia fantástica: Simple stated - awesome! In dealing with multiple spine issues I thought the time had come to when something major may have to be done. After 4 visits [coupled with compliance of at home exercises] an epiphany hit. I realized they had been realigning my body mechanics/posture + getting me to understand how to truly engage the core. The result - the majority of my back/neck issues have either diminished and/or are gone now! In fact, my workouts are even better than they have been for months. Taking what they taught me + applying continuous daily work to maintaining and strengthening I now realize I can stay in front of any issues in the future and enjoy a very active lifestyle.

Experiencia fantástica: The gentlemen that run IPA are very talented, attentive, and really very good at what they do. If you want to heal, consider going to IPA

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Spencer Lee is an amazing and gifted Physical Therapist!! I have suffered with knee pain for years and was scheduled for a full knee replacement on October 29,2019. After receiving treatments from Dr. Spencer Lee for the past 2 months, I have experienced miraculous results! IPA PHYSIO is unlike any Physical Therapy out there. Hands on, one on one ,cutting edge therapy. I have since CANCELLED my knee replacement surgery and will instead work with Dr. Spencer Lee for continued healing of my knee. Finding Dr. Spencer Lee and IPA Physio has been a total life changer for me!

Experiencia fantástica: I came to IPA Physio after I thought I did some knee damage from too much training, but with some PT and TLC I was able to to run my first ultra. Also took care of a strained back.

Experiencia fantástica: Pete is a highly skilled Phsiotherapist that has a vast knowledge of the body, movement, & how to help resolve injuries through his therapeutic methods. He has a genuine concern for helping his clients resolving their pain & injuries. I would highly recommend anyone to Pete at IPA Phsio OC!

Experiencia fantástica: Pete was a blessing when my wife found him. Having just been impacted by a bulging disc n tear to her rotator cuff she was in significant pain. Going thru our insurance was long, cumbersome, and not very effective. With our first visit to Pete we saw results. Over the next four weeks his impact was astonishing giving significant relief. His practice is highly professional, ethical, effective, respectful, patient, and gave us amazing results we weren’t getting for our health plans PT dept. We got an hour of care with Pete where our healthcare PT was lucky if they actually worked on the issues more than 15 minutes. Much respect to Pete, his skills, his business and results. We will now head to Pete for future Physical Therapy before our health plans. Even without insurance coverage for his service the results out weigh the cost. Nancy and Bob

Experiencia fantástica: Highly specialized and personalized treatment! Pete helped me identify a postural issue that was at the core of the problems I came to him for. Other types of physical therapy had me do exercises in house with less experienced assistants helping me, and offered me 15 min with the actual therapist. Pete is different, you commit to doing your exercises on your own, and you get the full intense hour with Pete working through the issues. Pete communicates well, is thoughtful, attentive to details, and really listens to feedback. Most importantly, Pete is realistic about progression timeline and how to best follow-up. Pete helped educate me about the proper body mechanics, and was careful to ensure the taught technique would yield results and not more issues. Highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: This is one of the best physical therapy experiences that I've ever had. I came to Pete for physical therapy after my total hip replacement surgery. Pete provides customized solutions to my needs and educates me on the what and why. I'm 3 months post surgery and am very happy with the results. I recommend Pete to anyone who wants more of a personalized physical therapy experience.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Pete as a physical therapist. He is highly professional, educated, and knowledgeable about physiology and manual therapy techniques. Pete helped me avoid surgery for a herniated cervical disc that was affecting my neck mobility, and nerves which resulted in decreased strength in my right arm. I was struggling to hold my 1yr old baby and using a fork. 4/5 orthopedic surgeons recommended immediate surgery. I opted to postpone surgery and risk permanent nerve damage to try physical therapy. I am so grateful I made this choice and met Pete. Within the first 2 weeks of starting PT my pain level started to decrease and I started to regain strength in my right arm. Two months after starting PT my pain level was almost zero and I had regained 95% of my strength. I do not think I would have made as quick of a recovery with another PT

Experiencia fantástica: Pete is a expert PT, and has helped me greatly improve my jaw pain/grinding issues by treating the underlying muscular imbalances in my body. As a PT myself, I can say I have learned so much from our sessions together, and would go back to him in a heart beat. I brought my baby along to a few of our sessions (not by choice...and not necessarily recommending this, hah!) but Pete was so accommodating with my newborn situation at the time. He is just a genuinely good person! Highly recommend!!

Experiencia positiva: Went to see Dr Peter for a recurring issue with my neck. He was very professional, thorough and friendly. Very informative with the treatment and the reasons behind what he thought would best help me heal. I've been dealing with this issue for the past 8 years and been to a variety of Physical Therapists. I've never received this kind of one-on-one treatment. I felt a tremendous amount of physical relief after 4 treatments. He worked with me on a maintenance plan with very detailed exercises, making sure I fully understood all of them. I hope to never see him again, as this would mean my issue is gone. But I will certainly visit should the need arise and would highly recommend him to all.

Experiencia fantástica: Pete is a very professional and really knows what he’s doing. He helped me and my husband with different issues and we both had amazing results. He will be our family physical therapists from now on and I would recommend him to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: I went to Pete Rumford with pain in my shoulders. He determined this pain was actually being caused by significant tightness in my lats and chest. He gave me good daily maintenance techniques that have completely eliminated the pain in both shoulders. I am very happy with the results and am very relieved that surgery isn't needed.

Experiencia fantástica: I am so thankful to have Pete in OC. I was having chronic neck and upper back issues that I had been dealing with for the last 5 years. I had been to chiropractors and gotten acupuncture and tried a number of different methods but even if my neck pain eased for a bit it always came back and was increasingly getting worse. In just my first appointment the work Pete had done and the exercises he had given me to do were making an immediate impact, but the best part is that its helped my neck to increasingly get better and better and now I rarely have issues. He also was able to fix areas of my body that I thought were permanently damaged. I had lot's of previous sports injuries and Pete went to work on my feet, running form, and core and it's made a massive difference in me getting to train harder again, play soccer once more, and do activities with my kids that I couldn't previously do. Pete has amazed me with his attention to detail and in depth knowledge of the body. I feel like he can solve any problem when it comes to the body and I'm so glad to have a professional in my corner with that skill set and care for his patients.

Experiencia fantástica: Pete Rumford takes physical therapy to the next level. The man is extremely knowledgeable, innovative, on the cutting edge of medicine and completely holistic in his approach. Pete is very friendly, easy to work with and healed my knee up in no time diagnosing me with a look at my full picture of health then narrowing in on the specific urgent issues. Highly recommend IPA Physio as they are the best in SoCal!

Experiencia fantástica: If you are in need of personalized, expert care for your physical ailments, then look no further. Pete is by far the most knowledgeable physical therapist I have worked with. However, his greatest attribute is his ability to take his time and listen to you as the patient in order to properly diagnose the cause of the symptoms. As a dentist, I am prone to neck and back issues that he has not only helped to correct (in only 2 sessions!) but proactively avoid from suffering from again. He even offered his time to train my staff on proper posture and body position while at work! Pete is a true professional!

Experiencia fantástica: Hard to find anyone more knowledgeable or professional in Orange County. Getting his expertise and undivided attention each and every session is invaluable and helped me overcome a number of issues over the past year. You should definitely give him a call.

Experiencia fantástica: Pete is a true professional. He is committed to getting results and figuring out ways for me to be able to sustain my progress at home. I have had amazing results in getting out of pain and into healing mode. I highly recommend Pete because of his comprehensive approach and collaborative mindset.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Rumford is highly recommended by me!! I have a unique situation, I have pain in my mouth and jaw and have trouble chewing food and being able to swallow it. First, Dr. Rumford evalualuted me very thoroughly giving me a chance to explain what I was going through. He performed many excercises each session on my mouth and had me continue doing them at home. At the end of every session he gave me time to ask questions if needed. So much pain has been relieved since being treated with Dr. Rumford and I will return to him anytime I need him for any treatment.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Peter Rumford is an excellent clinician with great therapeutic skills. When I went to him a few weeks back, I was in excruciating pain 10/10 in my neck and Left shoulder and elbow areas, and I could hardly move my neck and arm. Within a couple of sessions that I took with him, I started having relief from my pains. I remember for how many days I did not sleep due to severe pain, but after his therapy sessions my pain started getting better and I could sleep my full hours. Today, I can say I am pain-free and I am back to my functional life. I was fortunate to find him through the internet search, and I would highly recommend him for pain management where sometimes medicines won't help you. Thanks so much, Dr. Rumford and GOD BLESS!

Experiencia fantástica: I am truly I am that I was referred to go to Pete. He is able to utalize his wealth of knowledge and put it all into practical and individual care. I came to Pete 10 months post partum dealing with a separation of my abdominal muscles called diastasis recti. Pete was very welcoming, encouraging, and has a gift of explaining things in a practical easy to understand format. After the first meeting I walked away with a game plan and exursises to work one. The weeks following Pete would check in via email to see if I had questions and how progress was going. This was very welcoming and encouraging. Within a few month I saw progress on my healing along with better posture which eliminate much of the other physical discomforts I was experiencing. Now 6 months out I know I can call/email Pete and ask him any question I have.

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot recommend Pete highly enough. He is amazing. If you are looking for treatment that works, delivered by an extremely talented and personable practitioner go see Pete!

Experiencia fantástica: Since an auto accident 3 1/2 years ago, I have been to multiple physical therapists. They range from torture treatments where they left me alone shivering on an ice pad or on a traction machine, to simply deep massaging which feels good but doesn't have lasting results. My expectations were not extremely high when I went to see Pete. The experience with him was completely different. His passion for what he does shines through. He is earnest and kind and respectful and considerate. I was thinking the work and exercises we were doing were more for information gathering purposes - to see my limitations, etc., but when I left I realized my pain was reduced and I had better range of motions. And the improvements remain. He didn't try to sign me up for ongoing visits, but is intent on finding and fixing our issues so we can go on with our lives. I can't recommend Pete enough. He is not only a brilliant practitioner but a good person through and through.

Experiencia fantástica: I was referred by a friend who had a great experience here dealing with a knee injury. For myself, I had injured my shoulder and after months of lingering pain, feared I needed surgery. I've done a lot of physical therapy in the past, but this a more holistic, hands-on approach, which I really appreciate. In the first appointment, Pete was able to examine, treat and then give me the info I needed to test the shoulder with various exercises. After subsequent treatments and further exercise, the shoulder recovered and I was back out in the water surfing and back on the course golfing again :) Thanks Pete!

Experiencia fantástica: Pete provided me with the most comprehensive approach to achieve my physical goals within the difficult parameters I provided. I was only able to come in once every few weeks and yet he was able to help me change my body in addition he gave me the tools and guidance to achieve my PR in the OC half marathon. He is who you want in your corner for any permanent changes you desire to make in you physical ability whether it be sport or just be able to sit without pain. He is a gem here in Orange County and I am so happy he is here.
