Unfortunately I was only able to attend one session due to other financial constraints/medical issues. However, after only one session I've had only one tension headache (probably my fault for sleeping on my side). I have been in and out of physical therapy for three years for a shoulder impingement/tension headaches. For three years I could not get relief. After ONE SESSION with Dr. Maddie, I felt better than I had in YEARS! I have continued to do the prescribed exercises, and I am only getting better. I was living in debilitating pain that caused me to miss out on work and life in general. Now I'm happier, my body is more relaxed, and my quality of life has improved. It took Dr. Maddie one session to fix what others had tried to fix for years. I will tell you it's because Dr. Maddie and Carolynn (the kind woman who takes care of the front desk and I'm sure much more) listened to me and made my treatment work for me. I'm so grateful for these two people. What a wonderful place!!!

Before seeing Dr Maddie, I had written off distance running as something my body was not capable of due to knee and ankle pain, and somewhat discouraging experiences with other PTs. After reading the reviews here and the initial consultation appointment I decided to give PT another go, and I’m so glad I did. Dr Maddie was encouraging of my goals while realistic about the work it would take to get there. She assessed my existing imbalances using redcord and provided tailored strength and mobility exercises. The exercise tracker app was really helpful for form videos and reminders to complete the exercises. Now I’m on track to run my first trail 50k in a few weeks! I’m so grateful for Dr Maddie’s work and I would highly recommend Elevated PT to others :)

I was recommended to Dr. Maddie by Dr. Jason Khadavi (also a great podiatrist). I went to Maddie with a foot injury that was already over a year old and prevented me from walking/exercising normally. She was HIGHLY personalized and customized the plan to me, asking about and working with what my goals were at the end of treatment. I had 9 sessions total and those sessions went by really fast. Each session was a balance of PT massage(?) and physical exercises. They were varied and interesting, so I looked forward to each session as it didn't feel like a chore. In addition, there's a companion mobile app where you get daily exercises (with video demonstrations!) to do at home. You also have direct text messages with the receptionist, Carolyn, who is very responsive and such a rarity to find in healthcare. I'm so grateful to Maddie and Carolyn for getting me back to being MOBILE again! I cannot recommend them enough.

I recently completed a 12-week program at Elevated Physical Therapy for ongoing foot, ankle, and calf pain, and I couldn't be happier with the results.To be honest, I was very reluctant to start physical therapy and put it off much longer than I should have. Looking back, I wish I had started sooner. Dr. Maddie did an outstanding job helping me understand the underlying causes of my pain rather than just treating the symptoms. She developed a personalized plan that focused on strengthening the areas that needed attention and gave me the tools and exercises to maintain my progress long-term.Most importantly, she helped me regain confidence in my body and movement. After months of dealing with pain and uncertainty, I now feel much better equipped to return to a more active lifestyle. The entire staff was knowledgeable, supportive, and encouraging throughout the process. In addition to being an effective physical therapist, Dr. Maddie is a wonderful person and exudes happiness and positivity. I highly recommend Elevated Physical Therapy to anyone dealing with chronic pain or recovering from an injury.

It can be really intimidating to find the right Physical Therapist. How do you decide? What makes a great PT and how do you find them when it seems like there are so many options.I had been in ankle pain for more than a year....but I did what so many of us do, I put it off, I pushed through. I climbed Mt. Whitney (after climbing all the highest peaks in Southern California) and pushed through it until I couldn't push through it anymore. Running (one of my favorite forms of exercise) was now off the table. I needed help.I sat down with a list of Physical Therapists and started calling and when I spoke to Carolyn - she listened - she asked questions and she genuinely seemed to care. After listening to me she knew I had to get in to see Dr. Maddie and she made it happen. I booked an appointment and then received my welcome packet. It was thorough and helpful and I knew what to expect before I walked into my first appointment.Maddie listened and committed to making a plan to get me back to all of my favorite activities and then she dug in and she worked hard for me and felt invested in my recovery.I can not overstate the value of the 1:1 experience. When you’re working with Dr. Maddie you have her full attention and your therapy is tailored to your needs. She answers questions and keeps you informed so that you can be partners in your recovery. She uses an app to provide your home exercise routine and she adapts as needed. I was also pleasantly surprised when I was sent home with the things I needed to do my home exercises, at no extra charge!The attention to detail from Elevated Physical Therapy is unparalleled as is the level of care you’ll receive from the whole team. My experience then led my husband to working with Dr. Maddie too.I’ve been able to return to hiking, playing tennis and running without pain! And I know Elevated PT will be there for me if I need anything in the future.

I recently completed my physical therapy program at Elevated PT, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing experience I had. I came in with a painful AC joint strain in my shoulder that was seriously impacting my day-to-day life. From the very first visit, Dr. Maddie and Carolyn made me feel supported, informed, and motivated.Thanks to consistent weekly sessions with Dr. Maddie and a well-structured at-home plan, I’ve fully recovered pain-free and back to all of my pre-injury activities. The care and attention I received were top-notch. While I’m thrilled to be feeling like myself again, I’ll genuinely miss my visits. Thank you, Elevated PT, for helping me get back to doing what I love!

I came in unable to walk around without pain in my left hip and now I walk around with no pain. Mic Drop?My primary physician said if PT doesn't work, the last resort is surgery. I definitely did not want surgery. Shout out to Lew Medical for referring me to Elevated PT! I've had other PTs in the past for other reasons but Dr Maddie is the best! First of all, you get an hour, 1 on 1. My previous experience at other places is that the PT shows you something for you to do, then leaves the room. They are not continuously checking that you are doing the exercises correctly because they have moved on to their next patient. Then it usually involves laying on some cold pads or some electric shocking massage thing, but not here at Elevated PT! After the 1 on 1 session, you have access to videos so you can remember how to do the exercise to continue your recovery at home. It's homework, but you gotta do the exercises if you want to get better right?Dr. Maddie genuinely cares for her patients and it shows. Carolyn at the front desk is also awesome and part of this Elevated PT experience. She gives positive vibes, she's organized, responsive, and obviously great at what she does.

Maddie is beyond excellent in her service as a Physical Therapist and as a person! she is the kindest person and yet knows her stuff down to the T! I went in after having an L1 to S1 laminectomy where I could barely lift anything! Lets not forget about Carolyn too, She is great at scheduling around your needs and can get you in at a moments notice too! After the fist set of treatments and exercises, I was back to my normal life to an extent (still not able to do some things, but that's because of the surgery not her work!) Maddie removed that pain and discomfort and it was a godsend! A few weeks later I had come back to due overdoing something that I wasn't supposed to be doing, and I had an appointment that same day! WOW! That normally never happens! So super points to both Carolyn and Maddie there! Before surgery, or even after for Sciatica reasons or any other reasons, go here! They will make a difference! If I could I'd give them 10 stars I would!

After injuring my neck/back while rock climbing, I was in pain for weeks and wasn't able to identify the source of pain or which movements were causing it. I decided to try Elevated PT after researching PT's in the Pasadena area, and this was definitely one of the best decisions I have made for my body. I am so grateful for Aimee! She is so knowledgable and was able to identify my source of pain right away while also providing me with tools and a tailored regimen to help me recover, prevent future climbing injuries, and strengthen my weaker areas. I'm now a stronger and more confident climber after only a handful of sessions with Aimee, and I feel that each session has been worth the cost and a great investment for maintaining my long-term physical health. Highly recommend!

I was reluctant to try PT again after a poor experience with a past provider at another practice but I'm so glad I did! I struggle with intermittent pain which is challenging to communicate to a doctor when it's not actively flared up, but Aimee is empathetic and kind and really listened and believed me when I was describing my pain while not actively in pain. She gave me homework and things were going well, but my real 10/10 experience came when a flare up coincided with my appointment date. I arrived in tears because my neck and hips hurt so badly. Through massage and stretching and being gentle with me, I left the appointment feeling significantly better than when I came in and was able to go about my day without crying in pain. She has since taught me some great exercises for when I'm in an active flare up to reduce pain and we're working on building strength. I notice a big difference in my workouts from small adjustments she's given me. Also, the whole staff is warm and helpful. I know having to pay out of pocket can be a challenge and I was certainly skeptical to not get insurance coverage for PT, but I just can't recommend Elevated enough.

After dealing with various running-related injuries for months (primarily knee and foot pain), I decided to return to Elevated PT to get me back on track and running again. Having worked with Dr. Maddie a couple of years ago for an unrelated issue, I knew I could rely on her genuine care, attention to detail, and expertise to help me figure out the source of my pain and chart a path to recovery. I especially appreciate her specific understanding of running injuries as a runner herself and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who can go beyond cookie-cutter exercises and instead prescribe the tools you need for your unique body and goals. Whenever I present her with a new issue I'm dealing with, she's consistently able to find the right exercise to target it along with an explanation for why it will help.One of the things that sets Dr. Maddie apart is her curiosity when it comes to exploring all of the potential causes and solutions for a problem. She takes her patients and their concerns seriously and I never feel that I'm being rushed or wasting her time when I ask a lot of questions or am updating her on my progress at the beginning of a session. As a result, she is able to provide the most comprehensive and personalized care possible.I understand how scary it can be to start physical therapy because it requires you to admit that there's a problem, but I've learned that the sooner you can come to that realization, the faster you will heal. Thanks to Dr. Maddie, I feel a renewed sense of hope and am excited about what I will be able to do now that my body is on its way to reaching its highest potential.
