Testimonials

Caho Gold

Professional Dancer

Usher, Janet Jackson, Ciara, Ne-yo & Jason Derulo

Born and raised in Japan, I’ve been dancing for over 15 years. I moved to Los Angeles 6 years ago and met Dr. David in 2018 after I tore a ligament in my right ankle. I had therapy with him for a month and since then, I haven’t suffered any other ankle injuries. He has continued to help me with various injuries throughout my career.

Jared Lanctot

Founder of Pinecone Golf Club

I suffered an unlucky period plagued by severe injury that spanned roughly two+ years. Thankfully, I met Chris and our bond grew throughout recovery. His knowledge and expertise, with my focus and determination, became unparalleled. His medical expertise and delivery mindset helped me get back to the athleticism that I feared losing. Now, years later, I am able to pursue all things full steam ahead and relish my health. From 2 shoulder surgeries, 2 ankle surgeries and a shattered leg, my focus is not of the past, but directed towards the continued growth of the SCGA organization.

Irvin L.

Surfer, Rock CLimber

I first started working with Chris because of some injuries I experienced while weight lifting. The original cause of my pain turned out to be another symptom of a more profound issue. Chris was able to provide a thorough checklist of exercises and has helped me move much better now than I did while playing sports in high school. As someone that works relentlessly to push my physical and mental limits, it reassures me to have a knowledgeable and articulate therapist on my team. It takes an athlete to understand another athlete's needs and Chris is definitely the one person that has helped me accomplish my goals without fear of pain or setbacks.

Helen N.

Snowboarder, CLIMBER

When I broke my leg rock and fractured my shoulder I sought out various other PT options and landed at Proletics.

He listened to my problems and started a treatment plan that was specific to me. Under Dr. David's care I was able to get back on a snowboard and improved my skills by sharing my snowboarding videos for his feedback. Dr. David has also improved my mobility, strength and overall coordination which has made me a better athlete.

How do I know if Physical Therapy is right for me?

Physical therapy can benefit anyone experiencing pain, limited mobility, or recovering from injury or surgery. Our therapists conduct thorough assessments to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition and goals.

Based on this evaluation, we will create a personalized treatment plan designed to address your needs and achieve optimal outcomes.

Do you accept medical insurance?

At Proletics, we operate on a direct-pay basis and do not accept medical insurance for outpatient physical therapy services. This allows us to focus on providing personalized, high-quality care without the constraints often associated with insurance billing.

Can I receive reimbursement for PT from my insurance?

At Proletics, we are pleased to offer a superbill upon request for our patients. A superbill is a detailed invoice that includes all the necessary information about your treatment session(s), including diagnosis and treatment codes.

Here's how our superbill service can benefit you:

Insurance Reimbursement: You can submit the superbill to your insurance company for potential reimbursement, depending on your policy coverage for out-of-network providers.
‍
Transparency: The superbill provides transparency regarding the services you received, facilitating clear communication between you, your insurance company, and any other involved parties.

If you require a superbill or have any questions regarding insurance reimbursement, please let us know. Our team is dedicated to assisting you with the documentation and information you need to navigate your healthcare expenses effectively.

Which location is right for me?

Choosing the right Proletics location for your physical therapy sessions depends on several factors that cater to your specific needs and preferences:
‍Proximity: Consider the clinic that is most convenient for you to travel to. Opting for a location near your home, workplace, or along your regular commute can make it easier to attend appointments consistently.
‍
‍Specialized Services: If you have specific therapy needs, such as sports injury rehabilitation, or performance training, check which clinic offers those specialized services. Choosing a location with expertise in your area of concern can enhance your treatment outcomes.

‍Facility Comfort: Consider the atmosphere and amenities of each clinic. Factors such as parking availability, waiting area comfort, and overall ambiance can contribute to a positive therapy experience.

‍Availability: Review the operating hours of each location to ensure they align with your schedule. Selecting a clinic with flexible appointment times can accommodate your availability more effectively.

To determine which Proletics location is right for you, we recommend contacting us directly. Our team can provide detailed information about each clinic's services, therapist expertise, and any other considerations you may have. Together, we can ensure you receive the best possible care at a location that meets your needs.

How long does a typical Physical Therapy session last?

Physical therapy sessions at Proletics typically last between 45 to 60 minutes, depending on your specific treatment plan and goals. Our therapists work with you to ensure each session is focused, effective, and tailored to your individual needs.

Do I need a referral from a doctor to start Physical Therapy?

In many cases, a referral from a physician or healthcare provider is not required to begin physical therapy at Proletics. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage purposes. Contact us and our team can assist you in determining your specific insurance requirements.

What should I wear to my Physical Therapy sessions?

We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for ease of movement during your physical therapy sessions. Depending on your treatment plan, you may also need to wear athletic shoes or specific attire for certain exercises or activities.

How often will I need to attend Physical Therapy sessions?

The frequency of your physical therapy sessions will depend on your individual treatment plan and goals. Initially, sessions may be scheduled several times per week, and as you progress, sessions may decrease in frequency. Our therapists will work with you to create a schedule that fits your needs and lifestyle.
