Sports Medicine in Arcadia

“SO glad we were referred to Ben and Longevity & Performance Institute! My teen daughter is a competitive swimmer and injured her shoulder last fall. She was in dire need of a good physical therapist to help her get back to health with the new swim season approaching. It was clear from the first intake appointment that Ben would be a great PT for her. He took his time asking questions and explaining everything, including the cause, the goal, and the plan to recovery. Throughout the multiple sessions, Ben was patient and helpful, and customized the therapy sessions to my daughter's needs and progress. Her pain and discomfort started subsiding after just a couple of sessions, and with Ben's encouragement, she felt more motivated and confident. She is back in swim full force now-shoulder pain gone, and even stronger than before. In addition, logistics-wise, LPI was very professional and helpful with appointments and insurance claims. It's a relief to know that she can always return to Ben and LPI for any future physical therapy needs and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for an attentive, competent, and professional physical therapist who can get you results!“

“Listen, I hate needles and if I can avoid it I will, but I've been to Dr. Tu a handful of times due to lifting injuries or other injuries. To be honest, acupuncture is my last line of defense and I'll do it as my last resort just because I hate needles, but the fact that I keep coming here to fix myself despite the aversion to needles is a testament to how GOOD Jenny is. If you're an athlete, come here. She will understand, as she's an athlete herself, as she was an elite powerlifter and martial artist. She, as a clinician just "gets it." which is so important as a clinician! I want to show the few times she has literally and figuratively saved my ass: My sciatica. I went on a road trip and it flared up so bad that I contemplated going to the ER. I couldn't even touch the skin around my glutes, it was so bad that I had numbness and tingling in the saddle area, injection of toradol didn't work, vicodin didn't even work. I was in bed laying on my left side for days. I couldn't walk. My entire right side and some of my left from the low back to my heel hurt, and when I got there some of the symptoms subsided in it's intensity but it was still there. I'm a physical therapist, but II couldn't even do the easist exercises I would prescribe to my patients because it hurt so bad. I couldn't even tolerate any soft tissue massage. She did her work and her magic and brought my pain down to a manageable level where I could tolerate walking, sitting and going to a massage therapist (shout out to citris body workx) who aboslutely annhilated my piriformis and then I was fixed. She was able to get deep into the piriformis and into my hamstring insertion points (it was NOT painless but she did such an amazing job) If it weren't for Jenny, I wouldn't have been able to get there. More recently, she helped me with my neck and shoulder problems that have been getting worse over the past couple months and it came to a head a month ago. Again, acupuncture really fixed a lot of muscle trigger points that was causing the pain. and after a day or two I felt so much better. I even started lifting again (lightly). I am still going to her for the same issue, but the fact that I was living with probably an 8/10 pain (dull deep aching pain) and went to a 4-5/10 is amazing. For my sciatica I went from a 10/10 (as in, almost into the ER, sometimes crying) to a 4/10 immediately and was able to tolerate massage work from somewhere else. Also, if you like dry needling (like physical therapists outside of CA and CA athletic trainers do) then she does that as well.“

“I’ve seen Tracey for a few issues over the years and I’ve been completely satisfied. Doctors usually try and give me cortisone shots or other types of anti inflammatory medicines but each time Tracey has helped relieve the pain with only a few sessions. He’s also taught me stretches to help manage the pain and when I listen and apply what I’ve learned it works. I’m on my way to recovery.“
