Physical Therapy Services

Physical Therapy, also called Physiotherapy or PT, is the practice of treating disease, injury, or deformity through physical methods such as massage, corrective exercise, and other techniques. A key element of Physical Therapy is that it takes a holistic approach to wellness and recovery, focusing on the whole person, including general lifestyle and health. Evolution Physical Therapy offers various Physical Therapy services to treat patients with all manner of injuries and conditions and help them achieve optimal recovery.

Evolution was recommended by my surgeon from the Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute. I'm recovering from a separated rotator cuff and torn bicep tendon in my right shoulder. The recovery time is estimated 12-18 months or more (wow).Recovering is essential and a good PT is a must. Evolution has been exceptionally in taking care of all aspect of the processes i.e. working with the insurance company, writing and submitting medical reports to the appropriate medical providers and surgeon associates. It's lots of paperwork that they complete in a timely manner and with a smile.The Physical Therapist (Anna Lee) is exemplary. Anna is an educator, explains and provide detail treatment information (videos of prescribe movements, and exercises necessary for recovering). She also is a strong communicator and explains the details in terms that are understandable and providing meaningful feedback, along with being a good listener, taking notes of as I explain any difficulties and symptoms I am experiencing.Anna and the assistant PT are professional, the treatments and exercises are done with great care, they are very encouraging and positive/upbeat!Evolution environment is very welcoming from checking in and all the services they provide.My surgeon is very complementary to the reports and my progress.Overall, I would highly recommend Evolution!

I've lived a full active life with frequent Physical Therapy opportunities. I am currently recovering from a full knee replacement. I chose Evolution as a result of a recommendation from my at home PT immediately following surgery. I have been pleased with Evolution overall as they are well run, have convenient locations, clean up-to-date facilities, take insurance etc. However, the most important reason is the therapy itself. I was assigned Anna Lee who is helping me navigate one of the hardest situations I've ever been in. She is knowledgeable, professional, hard working, accountable and most of all, empathetic. This hasn't been easy, but it's likely the best PT experience I've had. I would recommend Anna to anyone and I assure you as I navigate this nasty thing called old age, I will seek her assistance in the future.
Response from the owner: Hi Bart,Thanks for the wonderful and thoughtful review! So glad to hear that you've been having a great experience at Evolution and particularly with Anna!
Kara has been amazing. She helped my 10 year old twins be pain free after having leg pain for 5 years. She was so thorough in her evaluation and throughout her therapy with them. She made PT so fun for them they looked forward to going. Kara is the best!
Response from the owner: Hi Rashelle, Thanks for the great review! So glad your twins had a wonderful and fun experience in PT with Kara!

I have chronic back and hip issues; although a candidate for surgery postponing indefinitely. After a few searches and reviews decided to try this location. Front desk team were helpful and informative regarding insurance plan (Medicare+supplemental). Easy to schedule. There is metered and side street parking. I always found a spot. Be prepared and patient though.Erica Seto was awesome; she reviewed my both MRIs provided comforting feedback, explained her process. I had my own patient portal so I could continue the recommended exercises at home.I practice Tai Chi regularly, she helped identify why I had issues with some of the poses; easy corrections.Highly recommend Erica and this location. This is an active and lively location. Very upbeat and positive team.

Hello. My name is Vivian Chinelli. I highly recommend my physical therapist, Jonathan Bernfeld. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, encouraging and fun! He's helped me move through my range of motion issues caused by frozen shoulder very quickly. Just a few more tweaks and I'll be free and clear of movement and pain issues.
Response from the owner: Vivian, thanks for your wonderful review! So glad that Jon is getting you back to 100%!
Mitchell McLaughlin has truly helped me by taking the time to access my injury and by continually adjusting my stretching/strengthening routine. His knowledge of the body and concern and care for my injury make him a truly effective physical therapist. My injury is 5 years old and he’s the first one to address the root causes of my injury. I’m stronger and in less pain after only 4 weeks of pt. The environment at Evolution PT is open and easy going. Always greeted with a smile, and cancelling/rescheduling (w/24 hours notice) is simple. There is ample street parking in all directions.
Response from the owner: Thanks for the great review, Joe! Glad to hear that you're getting better with the help of Mitchell!
Jonathan Bernfeld is a truly knowledgeable and gifted physical therapist— he understands anatomy and is highly skilled. And he really cares about his patients. Jonathan substantially improved my pain and stiffness. I would definitely recommend John for anyone in need of physical therapy.
Response from the owner: Thanks for the kind review! Glad to hear you're feeling better with the help of Jon!
Lauren great!!!
Response from the owner: Thank you for the review, Eugene!
I came to Evolution Physical Therapy to heal a knee injury so I could get back to training for my next marathon. Dr. Carole Gong has been absolutely wonderful in assessing my weaknesses and teaching me the exercises I need to build strength and heal quickly. She is compassionate and, as a runner herself, understands how important the sport is to me. More importantly, having a reliable physical therapy program gives you the confidence and freedom to know that you are on the path to recovery so you can get back to doing the life activities you love. The patients here come from a wide spectrum of backgrounds in their physical needs, from post-surgery healing to age-related mobility issues to athletic people recovering from injuries. Everyone is welcome. The Evolution facilities in Beverly Hills are clean and well maintained, and the front desk is well organized and efficiently run with scheduling and billing. Highly recommended!
Response from the owner: Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad to hear you are regaining the confidence to get back to doing what you love! See you at the next finish line!
Jennifer is a life saver. She is kind, patient, methodical and professional. If you need physical therapy, don’t look elsewhere. I have been there and done that.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the kind review, Daniel!
Evolution PT has been excellent for strengthening my neck to return to running.Carol Gong has been my PT therapist. She’s very professional and experienced. I’ve gotten the tools /exercises to become aware of what I can do myself @ home to relieve neck pain, strengthen neck/shoulders/back and continue my running routine. Evolution works with you with exercises @ each session. It gets you into the routine of doing the important exercises!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for the review. Glad to hear you are back to running pain free!
One wonderful thing about by terrible bike accident has been getting to work with the best PT in L.A., Dr. Ethan. The charisma he brings to his work is beyond compare. Ethan doesn't just treat his patients he forms relationships with them; you'll feel his support and care from the moment you walk in. Watching him nurture junior staff and help young kids recovering from injuries during their jr. sport career with passion and presence is simply a joy. His slappin playlists, lively personality and humor keep every session fresh and fun. I wouldn't have kept up with my recovery with out this sensational human <3
Response from the owner: Thank you for the kind review! We're so glad you are doing better and can see the passion and joy our staff have for what they do.
I had the pleasure of working with Lauren Lee and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a PT. From our initial evaluation, she correctly diagnosed my injury (later proven correct through an MRI) that my primary care doctor had misdiagnosed, and she properly designed my treatment plan accordingly. She is also extremely easy to work with, caring, encouraging, and knowledgeable. Definitely 5/5 and would return myself for my next injury.
Response from the owner: Thanks for the review, Joshua! So glad Lauren was able to help you and that you are feeling better!
I am having Physical Therapy to help reduce the pain in my shoulder. I am getting great attention... helping me work on better form with everyday exercises (bench press) and simple exercises that help build the smaller shoulder muscles. Carole has been great. I have just started but already seeing improvement in mobility.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review, Robert!
Great place for PT. Krysia is fantastic.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the review, Raymond!
Kara Pilar is a great PT! Very knowledgable and patient--highly recommend!
Response from the owner: Thank you for the review, Kathryn! We agree, Kara is great!
Can't ask for better care. Nick Davis has been nothing but amazing since I've started working with him. I highly recommend him. I've tried other physical therapists before and none of them come close.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review, Meir!
