Currently we only have two patients, two PTs, and the office manager in the clinic at any one time. Patients start on time on the hour and leave 5 minutes early before the following hour to allow for social distancing and the clinic to be thoroughly cleaned.

I cannot say enough about this place and the staff, My daughter had knee surgery and needed PT. Her surgeon recommended Axis and we were lucky that they were in network with our out of state insurance. My daughter is a college student and thousands of miles away from home and the staff was amazing and so helpful to myself and my daughter. They worked around her crazy school schedule and her school breaks. The therapist knew how important is was for my daughter to make a full recovery to return back to dance and she pushed my daughter at every appointment. My daughter will never go to another place

Earlier this year I started having bad pain in my left shoulder; an orthopedist diagnosed it as chronic tendonitis, and everything from reaching up to a high shelf to putting on a shirt was excruciating. What's more, my partner and I were expecting, complicating things further- would I be able to carry a baby with a bad shoulder? Would my partner leave me for someone with two working shoulders? Could this be the beginning of a precipitous decline to ruin and decrepitude?
No, because I found Axis PT!
Sharon, my PT, is absolutely fantastic. She quickly identified the specific problem areas

This review is long overdue but I'm glad I finally have time to write it. I was recommended to visit Axis PT by my personal injury attorney after I got rear ended on the freeway last May. I ended up getting rear ended by a Ford F-150 truck so you can imagine the sheer power of the impact while driving on the freeway. Anyways, when I got my first appointment, that was when Steve started opening up his business because of the pandemic and he did everything professional in terms of cleaning and sanitizing.

After an MRI confirmed I had a torn hip labrum, I had to give up playing college hockey as I wasn't prepared to undergo surgery at the time. For years I dealt with pain in this area, so much so that even going for walks was a painful problem. At 25 years old, I didn't want this to get any worse, and I took a recommendation to try out Axis PT. After only a few months, they not only helped me get back on the ice without any pain, but gave me the tools and knowledge to keep getting stronger on my own. To this day my pain has gone down to almost completely nothing, which a few years ago I

This is hands down the best PT office in LA if you are looking for therapist that are hands on & know what they’re doing. You get one on one time with your actual PT, not an aide/assistant. These people can help you with simple sprains to complex injuries & chronic illness. I’ve had all of them, so I know. I searched in vain for two years to find a PT who could help me before finding Axis & they have dramatically improved my quality of life.

I had an issue with scheduling, but Steve the owner called me and apologized, I really appreciate a company that does what it takes to make their clients feel heard. Overall, the service was great and the team was pleasant, I would highly recommend them for a smooth recovery! I was told by my doctor I wouldn't be able to play basketball for 6-8 months after a Patellar Tendon tear, they had me back on the court in 4 months, thanks guys!

Truly enjoyed my physical therapy sessions with Steve. Not only was he patient, he was very thorough in explaining each therapeutic exercise and modalities. AXIS is located perfectly near DTLA but the best part is that they work with your work hours. Steve was always on time and ready to start @ 630am. That's right, 630am! Parking is very minimal with parking validation from AXIS.

I have had issues with my right shoulder and rotator cuff for several years to the point where I had unmanageable sharp pain that kept me up all night for 2 weeks and I had to wear a sling. I decided to check out Axis PT after all the Yelp reviews because my shoulder started to feel strained again (perhaps it was all the swimming from 5 back to back triathlon races). After many chiropractors and doctors through the years the universe introduced me to Jeff and let me tell you why he's the real deal. In a few sessions he discovered the core issues that contributed to my shoulder pain. I learned

This Physical Therapy spot was recommended to me by a friend who also had an ankle injury. It came with his high words and I can only agree.
The staff here are great, and apparently this doesn't happen everywhere, but you spend your time with ONE therapist. (I've been going 3 months and have only had Sam). This way they get to know your injury personally and can manage your PT even better.
A lot of people's experiences with PT can be daunting, or painful, or patients may just not want to go. Every time I have an appointment with Axis I can't wait to go and hang out to the

I worked with Jeff for a couple months on some ongoing pain in my left shoulder. He put me through various rehab exercises (gave me a good list of exercises to work on at home too) that I've never tried before and they resolved my pain! I really appreciated how thorough he was in explaining the causes and effects of my movements and exercise practices (I had a ton of questions and he was always willing to fully explain what's going on). The rest of the staff were always super friendly and helpful as well.

I had very annoying pain in my left shoulder and neck. And thanks to Sam everything is fixed. She's really knowledgeable and listens to every detail you say, doing notes and adjusting the program accordingly. You can see her professionalism starting the first session - the diagnosis - doing all those unusual movements and stretches under different angles and positions - feels like every single muscle is involved to find the cause of your pain. Exercises are pretty easy to do, but they help a lot - even after the first visit and a couple of workouts at home I've felt so much better. Also

I started recovery from ACL Surgery at another facility in Burbank, and after 1 appointment, I knew I wanted more personal service. I looked at 3 more facilities before choosing Axis. I can not recommend these guys highly enough. You will have one-on-one attention. I have been seeing Steve, the owner....THE BEST!!!

I've trusted Axis PT for physical therapy since it opened (I think at least 10 years ago). Actually, I was going to Steve for physical therapy even before he launched Axis PT. He is a healer!
A combination of tissue work and exercise has helped me with an array of issues: repetitive strain in my arm; an injured hip flexor; post-surgery rehab for an ankle; and TMJ pain. He even has provided PT to help me more efficiently use muscles around my lungs after a COPD diagnosis, so that my exercise can get back to levels of a few years ago.

Steve is such a fantastic human being. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, but he has such a calm, positive energy and makes every session so pleasant and as fun as physical therapy can be. He also goes above and beyond, has truly helped me with multiple injuries, and is genuinely a really caring person. Everyone in the office is equally kind, and I absolutely recommend AXIS PT! :)

Axis PT is awesome and both facilities is clean.
Cynthia(Front Desk) She's great, very friendly and so understanding. Many times I had to cancel the morning of (last minute) and she does her best to fill the spot so I don't incur a cancellation fee. Both of their facilities is clean and nicely equipped.
Adam my PT: He is totally chilled. I really appreciate that he takes time to listen, take notes of your aliments during every visit and then works on the problem areas. I also appreciate that he is not like some PT that discourages you from being active. Instead he encourages movement

Steve and his staff are awesome! The place is clean in that they take care of cleaning their work area and equipment after each treatment, and their bathroom is clean too. Cynthia is great in scheduling me in and pleasant to speak with when I have questions. But let's face it, a clean environment and a friendly staff is not all we're looking for in a PT place - BUT IT'S A PLUS.
I have been coming to Steve for eight years for a herniated disc that the surgeon insisted I needed surgery for - it's no surprise coming from a surgeon as they're in the business to do surgery

This was my first time doing PT. I went because of a herniated disc in my lower back. Let's just say it's been the most physically painful event of my life and Axis fixed me in just one visit! I've had sessions with Megan and Steven and they were both fantastic. Within a day I was able to walk and move around without wanting to pass out. The second session really got me back on my feet permanently. I can't say enough positive things about Axis. I really felt well informed and educated on what was happening to my back and what activities and movements I needed to do to reverse

No one likes getting injured, and rehab is no fun either. But if you do need physical therapy, this is the place to go.
I've been coming to Axis PT for a year and a half now for two ACL reconstruction surgeries, and they are just top notch. I can't speak about the other therapists (though they seem quite knowledgeable too), but Steve is fantastic. He is very experienced and knowledgeable, friendly, funny, personable, and most of all, he is dedicated to helping you improve.
