I wanted to like this place. My orthopedist recommended it. I was initially impressed with the nice equipment, the spacious layout, and the ample free parking. But I'm sorry to say, that's where the good stuff ends.
I'm not a one-star kind of guy. You can check my hundreds of reviews on Yelp and see for yourself.
I've been through 3 ACL reconstructions, had a few bouts with a herniated disc, and have spent years as a physical therapy patient. I have had great experiences, and have developed much reverence for the field. Which is why I'm quite critical of any

Best physical therapy location I've ever been to (I've been to 5 before this) Chi Tso is a master at her craft and has the best bedside manner of any physical therapist I've ever encountered. The staff from front desk, to the aids, to the therapists are friendly, well trained, caring, and professional. A+++ I live in Glendale and pass many physical therapists on my way here, but I get so much it's worth it. Never rushed. Tons of personal care. Have always made me feel welcome and well cared for.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Leslie for being so wonderful. Called to make an appointment and asked her a question. Even though she didn't know the answer she put me on a brief hold to ask. Other people would just tell me to come in and ask but I really appreciate her for doing her job!! Thanks Leslie!! . Even before I get there I'm already pleased.

How this place doesn't have 5 stars is beyond me.
First of all, Barry Shafer is the best therapist for sports injuries in the world. I'm in better shape after my surgery than before, and with much less pain.
I can't begin to list all of the support I've gotten from Barry over the years, but in terms of health care professionals, he is the most caring one I've worked with. He wants your health to be at its best and will work with you however he can to make you better. Isn't that what we want from every healthcare provider??
Beyond that, I love the staff and patrons

The therapists here are very good and deserve 5 stars. The frontreception desk employees drag the overall score to 2 stars. The receptionists are unprofessional and there seems to be no direction over them. On my visit today the systems were down, phones and internet. This systems outage increased the lack of professionalism in the receptionists. Their lack of duties to perform turned the front desk into a playground atmosphere. Gum popping, constant giggles and loud personal conversations that included very personal remarks that should be kept private. I am not expecting perfect customer support

Elite Montion is the best location to be at! The environment is meant to get you at your 100 percent as soon as you can. When I first came in around October 11, 2019 I was not confident in my ability to walk or do much of anything but after my first session with Elite motion they had built my confidence up that same session and made sure I pushed myself out of my comfort zone. Barry is the best of the best if I ever had to come back after my current recovery I already know who to ask for. The sessions may be difficult but Barry and his staff will get you to your goal faster.

I just contacted them for assistance on finding out my out-of pocket expenses, based on my insurance, and my response from them was "sorry, can't help you, but we'll give you our tax ID so you can call and find out yourself." When I said I didn't have time because of my job and needed some help they were apathetic. When I said I guess I'll just skip the treatment, her reply was "Ok, bye." If that's the level of care I can expect, then no thank you.

Another broken wrist and this time I didn't want to risk surgery, so I came here for therapy. While I question my decision on surgery, the therapy here is fantastic! Emily got me back to close to normal quickly and effectively. She set expectations clearly up front (it's going to hurt, but I can get you back to doing what you love to do) and delivered far better than I expected.
In addition to getting me back to normal, Emily gave me some exercises to do at home so I can keep improving on my own. Her explanations throughout therapy were clear and concise, and she experimented with

I highly recommend Elite Motion for all of your physical therapy needs. All of the therapists are not only knowledgeable but personable and incredibly caring. You’ll receive an individualized program that’s carefully designed to not only heal your specific injury, but lead you to a greater overall fitness level that will hopefully prevent future injuries as well. They educate their patients so that they can independently work on their areas of need and understand proper form and function of each exercise. I’ve been fortunate to have received PT for my ACL and Barry not only healed my injury

The professionalism, level of care and follow-through of the physical therapists (Dr. Matt has been my PT from the onset) as well as their aids is commendable. The entire staff, including the front desk ladies are very courteous and friendly and the atmosphere is very cheerful which makes some of the challenging exercises much more tolerable. I am very glad I was referred to this facility by my physician and I will let him know when I see him in a few weeks. He will be very pleased to see how much progress I've had during these past few weeks.

The care I have received at Elite Motion after my ankle surgery has been exceptional. My sincere gratitude to Dr. Matt Miller my physical therapist, and also to his assistants Reid, Josh, and Don for their tremendous help in my road to recovery. I'm so glad to been able to meet and continue my treatment with DPT Matt. After starting therapy my range of motion was coming back, and I was able to put weight on my foot and walk. What was the most crucial part of the recovery was the "hands on" for a well trained and educated physical therapist. I truly appreciate your kindness and caring attitude.

I love this place. I have had 3 back surgeries in 3 months and they've always been so helpful and work me out hard and help me to get off meds and workout my headaches. I love Chi! I love Tori! I love Clint, ken, and I Love Petros and love the multiple people who have helped me work out my back issues. (I wish I knew all their names) I even drive to arcadia, even though they have a place closer to where I live. There are so many people who have helped me since 2015 and I can't even count. Elite motion takes care of you. They know what you can do and what

I'm not one to post reviews often, but the therapists at Elite Motion are nothing short of miracle workers! If you aren't afraid of pressure and determination to heal quickly and properly, Petros is the man!! He incorporates all aspects of healing into the regiment....again, all the therapists are awesome! My preference was to heal at an aggressive pace so I got what I asked for and couldn't be happier to be able to get back to my normal pace of life after surgery.

Elite Motion is the best physical therapy clinic I have ever been to! All the physical therapist there are very friendly and know what they are doing. I personally worked with Barry and I could tell that he truly cares about his patients. The aides are great as well! I always feel so welcomed when I go to physical therapy and truly looked forward to my appointments. I would highly recommend Elite Motion Physical Therapy to anyone that is willing to work hard and get the best recovery possible.

I had come to Elite Motion a couple of years ago for a back issue and had a great experience with their physical therapist Petros. He was informative and attentive and seemed to really care about his patients getting better. Back then they had 1-2 receptionists who were kind and the price for each session was reasonable.
My recent experience with Elite Motion was a complete reversal at least with their front desk which is really as far as I got. I re injured my back so I called Elite Motion to schedule an appointment with Petros. On the day of my appointment there were 3 receptionists at the

This place is a pretty good place to get PT because they definitely have a lot of equipment there to help. Most of the staff are kind a courteous. Some of the staff don't even know what their doing and rely on the owner Barry to direct them every step of the way.
The down side was when the owner Barry himself straight out told me that I was fat and need to lose weight or else I would reinjure myself, and he didn't say it in a kind manner either, he was so damn rude! I know many people who aren't overweight and still get injured, so u can't just blame it on someone who&apos

Would have been a 5 stars because of Tim - he is the best physical therapist and the nicest/knowledgeable!!! What is really unacceptable is the holding period for calling them - I just spent 15 minutes waiting. First, on hold by Congress then on hold again by Elite. Is 15 minutes reasonable? I think not.
Second issue with this place is you cannot book appointments until one week before month. I cannot book my appointments for June until 5/21. My treatments has been so far extended because I cannot get enough appointment per doctor's order.
Lastly, most receptionists are nice and helpful

Terrible front desk receptionist who is rude and unhelpful. It was also very difficult scheduling an appointment. If your doctor prescribes pt twice a week and you can't get in, what's the point? Dealing with the front desk lady was frustrating and maddening. It's unfortunate we never got to experience the good therapists because the receptionist made us walk away to try another pt with good customer service.

I was very happy with the care I received at Elite! I had PT for my injured knee (skiing accident, no surgery) and buldging disc in my neck (gym accident, no surgery). They were able to resolve my injuries to the point where the residual pain was minimal. They provide PT for everyone from athletes to the elderly. The staff was always friendly and I felt like I was at the gym rather than a depressing doctor's office! They had early morning and some later appointments to accomodate my work schedule. They are also a teaching facility so they had PT interns perform some of the PT under supervision
