I am a fan of this place! At my age (68) over the past decade or more I've used several other local PT facilities, and found them eager to sign me up, then indifferent, commercial and inattentive. Some even bad-mouthed their competition. Functional PT in Pasadena on Colorado Blvd. is quite different from the others I've used: FPT is professional, the staff are attentive and caring, and there's no upsell or marketing done, just health-care. I have used FPT for various issues (legs and shoulders) over the past few years and I've seen how they deal with others with greater challenges than mine, with various levels of need and languages, and the staff listen to the patients, coaching and nurturing, albeit it always busy. Of course, if I followed all of my Dr.'s and FPT's instructions, I might have better progress, but they key is achieving progress, which I do, and THAT happens thanks to Functional Physical Therapy!
I don't quite get the negative comments here. I've had physical therapy other places and it's very much the same. They give you some sort of examination based on your complaint, they tell you what they think is happening, you get some exercises to do, and then they show you how to do them. No, they're not paying attention to you for every moment. They watch long enough to see that you understand the exercises, leave you to do them, then check back at the end to see if you had questions, and get you started on the next set. The bulk of the work will be done at home. They're just making sure that the exercises are appropriate and that you know how to do them. I've found the staff quite friendly and engaging, and they come up with alternatives if something isn't working. Ultimately it's up to you to understand the exercises and make sure that they get done.
Dr.Issac is really kind, caring, and works with you. The staff here are all incredibly great and I have had zero negative experiences here. But I can't recommend Dr.Issac enough. He's been helping me step by step, listens to my problems and tries to narrow it down. Tells me what to keep up with and what to avoid. 5/5 would recommend to anyone I know.
