State-of-the-Art Physical Therapy

Forty years working at a desk takes a toll. Upon retiring I discovered that while the spirit was willing for lots of adventure, my muscles weren’t as interested in participating. Visits to my primary doctor and the orthopedic specialists offered pain killers and they recommended I exercise. I don’t react well to pain medicine and exercise is not for the faint of heart, i.e. I just kept making the leg pain worse. A friend suggested I seek out a physical therapist and I landed on State of the Art Physical Therapy’s step and Rena’s table. Best. Thing. I. Ever. Did. For. Myself. We started with baby steps and fundamentals and started providing my leg muscles a new memory database to rely on. Stretches and excercises I would have never known to do. Slowly my muscles started to cooperate, the chronic pain subsided and I continued to improve. Rena coordinated my recovery beautifully and launched me into success post therapy with knowledge of what to do every day at home and at the gym to continue to be as strong as I can be. I go to the 24 hour fitness every other day and work out and participate in water aerobics — and I love it. Something I never would have imagined.
Physical therapy is the medical field’s best kept secret. Why that wasn’t my doctors first recommendation has certainly been a conversation we have had — I think maybe with their next patient it might be. The common school of thought of physical therapy is for recuperating from surgery or injuries. What you need to believe is that physical therapy is also for building stronger bodies, and rescuing people who have been behind a desk for a lifetime.
State of the Art is different from any other physical therapy office I have been seen at. It is result based and hands on. Their therapists are knowledgeable and passionate about their ability to make you well. I owe my stronger body and spirit to Rena and the people at State of the Art. This facility and it’s people truly is as good as it gets!

Having a great Physical Therapist in your corner is just like having a great Plumber – you never know when you’ll need them but you’re so happy to have them when you do.
Barry and his twin brother run a great therapy center. I’ve been to several physical therapists and chiropractors and this place takes the cake. The facilities are huge with countless machines and therapy options. The staff is courteous and attentive.
Upon your first visit, you will be provided with an in-​depth analysis of your ailments and discomforts. They take obsessive notes and write down every detail about your trauma.
The therapy is wonderful. I initially came here to for a muscle issue with my shoulder and they got me up and running in a matter of days – and I thought I’d need surgery!
I also have a bad lower back and instead of coming here only when back pain persists, I’ve started coming here for more preventative measures and I’m so happy that I did. I highly recommend you give State of the Art a chance.

I can’t tell you how grateful I am to the team at State of The Art! They really did a great job of getting me back to normal after my elbow surgery.
They are all extremely friendly, personable, and are experts in their field. Some I will continue to keep in touch with now that I am done.
A special thanks to Reena, who was my main therapist during treatment. She is incredible and I wouldn’t be at this place now without her. Also thanks to Brian and Brantzen, and he rest of the crew.
Highly recommend… they really are State of The Art!

I feel very blessed to have met the SOTAPT team even though it was under unfortunate
circumstances. Both my husband and I had surgery last year, what a good way to spend your first year of marriage right? He had torn his ACL, MCL, and Meniscus playing soccer, and I had Periacetabular Osteotomy surgery (PAO) to correct my hip dysplasia. They all have truly played
a vital role in my husband and I’s recovery as well as so many other patients who have walked through their doors. I’m sure their profession can get physically and mentally exhausting, but going in for therapy is the highlight to many, many patients day. In most cases it is the only time we really get any relief from the daily pain we go through. So in short they were the best part of our day! Its nice knowing the world has people like them who care about those of us who are going through life changing events that we have no control over, and having empathy while doing it.
I have learned so much from my experiences here at SOTAPT, and have been fortunate to have been seen by a truly talented team of therapists. They are all «Black Diamonds» in my opinion in the industry. Because of them, my hip has felt amazing and I have a renewed sense of hope that I can get back to where I used to be and have my old life back. My husband was able to snowboard and get back to his fitness in a few short months because of his treatments here. We wouldn’t go anywhere else for our recovery!

My calves and hamstrings were really tight and kept on getting strained with all of the scar tissue I built up over the years. It got to the point where I was afraid to run because I might strain my muscles at any moment. Thank goodness for Stat of the Art Physical Therapy and their fantastic physical therapists. They helped me get through these issues and I feel confident running again. State of the Art is a well run operation and I would recommend them to anyone

Very good experience at State of the Art Physical Therapy! Dan and Lindsey designed exercises that helped me with my torn ACL. They were gentle, yet challenging, and I was able to improve strength, flexibility without pain. The group is flexible with appointments and also helped me with my insurance. I definitely recommend SOTA…

I had shoulder surgery a few months back to repair a nasty labral tear. My surgeon up at Cedars Sinai asked his network of orthopedic surgeons where he could refer me for excellent physical therapy in Orange County. His colleagues all agreed: State of the Art Physical Therapy. They were right.
Throughout every stage of my recovery the staff tailored therapy to meet my needs. Each session was 1-​on-​1 with a therapist who was familiar with my HPI and who carefully documented my progress. They provided easy to understand instructions for home exercises and gave me thorough professional guidance. My surgeon was pleased with my recovery and cleared me to go skiing even sooner than anticipated because of my speedy recovery. The staff made it easy to schedule follow-​ups and they handled all billing efficiently. I especially enjoyed the friendly, welcoming atmosphere around the clinic; within only a few sessions nearly every staff member knew me by name and greeted me warmly. The location is clean and spacious and easily accessible from the 5.
I have had the pleasure to work with nearly every therapist there and had great experiences with all of them. You will be happy with your treatment. I would refer friends, family, and patients to State of the Art and will return myself for any future needs that arise.

I came to State-​of-​the-​Art for my left shoulder pain. My left upper arm was injured from over lifting weight. I had a hard time even raise my left arm half way up. I have pain for months and finally my friend recommended this physical therapy office. I have been to other physical therapist in the past. The doctor just asked me to do exercise on my own and he only spent max 15 mins hands-​on therapy which didn’t help me much at all. I am now coming to State-​of-​the-​Art regularly and symptoms have improved a lot since the first time I came. I am very happy about it. They have many therapists and all of them are good. They take care of their patients just like they take care of their family. I am also very impressed of how clean the office is. That shows how much they care and respect for their patients. Strongly recommend to whoever needs professional and outstanding treatment for their physical problems. This is definitely the place to go!

I can’t say enough great things about SOTA! As a first responder, I’ve had the pleasure of accruing many injuries while on the job. I’ve seen more physical therapists that I care to remember… however, since I began treatment with State of the Arts, I’ve found the perfect Treatment facility!
Brian, Barry, Nandi, Reena and the rest go above and beyond your expectations. I really became spoiled with the one on one treatments, multiple laser treatments and innovative treatment methods they offer.
Are there closer treatment centers to my house, yes. But when you find the best it’s worth the time and the drive! I encourage anyone who’s looking for something other than the «run of the mill» physical therapy to give State of the Art Physical Therapy a try. You will find you can’t compare them to anyone else!

While visiting my son in southern California recently, I needed assistance for a very painful pulled muscle in my neck. State of the Art was highly recommended by my son who was currently receiving physical therapy after neck surgery. I was able to get an appointment almost immediately and after only three visits with the help of marvelous therapists, I am pain free. Thank you !!

When I arrived at State of the Art Physical Therapy, I was on my 4^th major back surgery. I could barely walk and had so much pain that you could not put the lightest pressure on my back or leg. Amazingly, and with incredible encouragement, patience, and professionalism (and some tenacity on my part) I am walking unassisted and getting stronger every week. I have NEVER worked with a more professional, kind and caring group. I never would have survived without Dan and the entire staff encouraging me along. They conduct thorough and efficient treatment plans and infuse it with positive attitudes and genuine concern. As a side note, my little dog, Ziggy, severely injured his back and Brian Wong graciously used the lazer on his back. He has made remarkable progress and is no longer whimpering in pain. Talk about going the extra mile! They are family now and stuck with us for a good long while. If you need rehabilitation. State of the Art is the ONLY place to go!

State-​of-​the-​Art Physical Therapy is amazing. Their people take the time to really do a thorough work up. Once that is done, they develop a rehabilitation plan that brings you back to health in the least amount of time. It’s no wonder they are therapists of choice.

Five Stars! I have attended State of The Art PT for several years now and they are family to me. I absolutely love Brian Wong, the owner. Brian has been like a Dad to me and helped me so much. He and his entire staff are top-​notch amazing therapists. I have learned so much and look forward to seeing each and every therapist. I deeply appreciate the care dedication i have experienced coupled with excellent therapy. I highly recommend the staff and the clinic to anyone that needs a serious solution and results from their injury. They put their patients first. Kris Scott

My wife has been seeing Brian and/​or Ming for the better part of the last decade! She suffers from a neurological disorder that is chronic and needs consistent physical therapy. You will not find a better staff of professionals who care more about the maintenance and rehabilitation of their patients. I should have written something here a long time ago. Sorry guys, but better late than never.

Getting «back to healthy» was the goal and then, a quad injury, and another, and another, all in my legs. It wasn’t quite as easy bouncing back being in the «40ish» age bracket as it used to be and the entire team at State of the Art was there for me every step of the way.
A dedicated team of talented and fun professionals who enjoy what they do and are committed to their patients. The encouragement from the entire staff was motivating. The administrative process and scheduling was smooth, just what you would expect from a five star PT team!
A special «shout out» to Nandi Sundaram, PT, MPT, whose knowledge and skill was evident. The coaching and counseling he provided along the journey back was particularly helpful to prevent further injury.
A huge thank you to Brian and his entire staff for being there for me in my journey «back to healthy». I couldn’t have done it without you!

I wanted to add to my last review, which was outstanding. They have an excellent staff that has cured my various injuries from ice hockey many times. I’ve sent several of my friends here, who have also received great PT services. It is a large facility, with many ways of treatment. Go there, you will be very happy you did.

So where do I begin with this amazing place! I came here for a shoulder injury (literally couldn’t move my arm an inch) and within 2 weeks I had my strength, my ability for use and comfortably back 100%. Just my luck I got in a car accident. But I was not the least bit worried, I had 100% confidence in State of the Art! I called Brian let him know about my accident and immediately he and Dr. Ming (the merciless) created a plan for my recovery. Going here three times a week I got the pleasure of working with numerous different therapist! Can I say they are ALL amazing… Bob, Nandi, Ming, Chanel, Dan … I mean every single one takes time to understand your body, also teach you not about your injury soley, but also preventative care. The owner are ridiculously amazing! Brian will personally come and treat you and assist the therapist you are working with. They are all happy ALL the TIME and make you feel like family. Here you are treated as genuine family.
This place is my home away from home!!! They are amazing and I will never go anywhere else as long as they are around
I love State of The Art Physical Therapy!!!

Working with State of the Art has been a wonderful experience. They’ve taken care of all insurance related matters, scheduling has been easy and they’re always friendly and accommodating.
I’ve worked with three of their physical therapists, and they are all terrific. They know what they’re doing, ask questions about your issues and work directly to address them.
Everyone there is friendly and helpful, and they all work together to create an environment conducive to healing.

If you’re in need of some physical therapy, don’t even think about going anywhere else besides State of the Art, they have an amazing program. I had back surgery at the end of July and was physically incapable of bending over or lifting weights like I used to. After about 5 months of therapy with their millions of exercises (with insane equipment) I am now done and back in the gym 6 days a week and am back to my normal physical shape. I can touch my toes and then some!
But really, every single employee is a great one I had just about every one throughout my time there and everyone is extremely nice, extremely polite and extremely knowledgable about their profession.
I’d really like to thank Dan and Ming, without you two especially I don’t know what I’d be doing right now and I know if I ever have any questions even if it’s not about my back you guys are the first people I will call.
And on another note, if you guys EVER need any graphic design work for some reason you have my number.

I tore my ACL a couple months ago, and went to the most convenient location near my college. They ended up ignoring me for the greater portion of the time, and made me do the exact same things that they asked of me to do at home.
State of the Art is quite different. I worked with Dan, and not only is he knowledgeable, you can tell that he tries to understand your injury and develop a regimen that will heal you faster. You also receive their utmost attention throughout the whole hour. I highly recommend Dan, or any other of the PTs here.
