Koh Physical Therapy Lab

After 1.5 years of back pain, going to different PT, chiropractors, and various Drs, I finally found Koh PT. I am so pleased with my results. Im able to get back to working out with little to no pain! They are attentive, knowledgable and great bedside manner! Would recommend anyone to go here! Thank you, Koh PT for getting me back to living my normal life!!!

These guys saved my running. Excellent Active Release Therapy practitioners, very professional staff, state of the art equipment, I am very grateful I’ve found them.

Much more hands-​on than my previous physical therapy in terms of massage time and the session is personal between just you and your therapist, making it very easy to discuss issues and problems and to learn about the methods he/​she is using.

KOH PT was recommended by our friend and we are very happy with the service & results. They are very professional and spend time to explain each exercise to the patient. KOH PT should always be your first choice should you need any kind of PT.

Dr Koh and Perkins have been amazing to work with! The techniques they use in their practice really sets patients up for long term success. I have been suffering from sciatica and have noticed a big difference after a few visits. If you are looking for a Physical therapist, Koh PT is the place to go! I’m so glad I found them.

Our 12 year old daughter tore her ACL in June of last year playing soccer and we have been working with Dr. Perkins and Dr. Garcia since her surgery in late September. Both of them are extremely conscientious, highly-​skilled and excellent at working with kids. We were pretty disciplined at sticking to their regimen and our daughter was highly motivated because the guys made it fun and effective.
The payoff came this past weekend when our she swam in her first competitive swimming event in over 9 months.
She went up against 77 other swimmers in her age category.
She took first place.
Koh rocks and Perkins and Garcia are studs. The best.

Dr Koh and staff are awesome. Very thorough the first appointment asking a lot of questions and explaining how my treatment was going to go. Entire staff is very knowledge and friendly. Looking forward to my upcoming visits as I’m seeing huge improvement in range of motion and dramatic reduction of pain from herniated disc at L5/​S1. Wish I would have started coming here sooner.

It took 1.5 months of seeing another PT before I found Koh. My story is this: I tore my ACL/​MCL at the end of December 2015. My surgeon asked that I go to PT to strengthen the MCL/​ACL prior to surgery. I went to a different PT in Laguna Niguel and what a waste. The day before surgery my surgeon said I had developed arthrofibrosis and he would not operate. He said my Therapist should have known this was happening. I was worse than the last time he saw me, not better, after 1.5 months of prehab. I was devastated. Then I found Koh Physical Therapy and my world changed for the better. Dr. Perkins and Dr. Garcia took charge and came up with a plan to get me into surgery within a month of the arthrofibrosis diagnosis. My surgeon, who happens to be the Seahawks doc in Seattle, was so pleased with the therapy and how well my knee was moving. I finally had surgery last week and bc of the work Dr. Perkins and Dr. Garcia did in prehab, I’m already seeing good results post surgery. I am so happy to have found KOH PT– they are knowledgable, supportive, and I know I will have excellent results.

When it comes to healthcare, I am super reluctant to leave a review based on a single or only a handful of visits. I went to Koh PT Lab after finding them online for a certain type of treatment for low back problems. My first experience with them was awesome. I was leaving for Hawaii in a week with my family and could barely stand up straight. They made room for me (a new patient, which is a longer appointment) and fit in a few sessions before my trip. That trip ended up being wonderful and I owe my mobility to them.
When I returned I started working with Dr. Perkins. He quickly understood my issues and put together a plan for me. Having back problems for a long time, I can vouch that these guys have a completely different and better approach to PT. You don’t go in there and do a couple minor exercises with an assistant. At Koh, you spend ALL your time with a doctorate of PT where they are working on strength and working out the muscular issues that are causing the problem. Dr. Perkins understands the body really well and treats each session as a different challenge which is in contrast to many PTs where you do the same thing each session.
Occasionally, I couldn’t fit a schedule to meet with Dr. Perkins, so I met with Dr. Garcia. You often wonder if the familiarity with your body will change, but it did not. I credit that to the knowledge that both Dr. Perkins and Dr. Garcia have, but also the way the note the treatments for their patients. My treatments with Dr. Garcia were equally high quality.
Either of these guys are awesome and I can’t recommend Koh enough to you. They are head and shoulders above the rest and it should be your first and only call if you need PT.

I just started coming here a few weeks ago for some serious jaw pain issues. It’s the first relief I’ve had in this past year of pure pain. The staff is awesome and Dr. Koh is highly trained and has an amazing heart. You’ll love it here.

I started treatment in September 2015 after months of worsening shoulder pain that culminated in very limited movement that prompted me to find a professional. Koh Physical Therapy Lab is conveniently located off Bake Pkwy. The facility is clean, the equipment is in good condition, and everyone there is very friendly and helpful. Special note: You must call 24 hours in advance to cancel an appt.
I was expertly diagnosed with Frozen Shoulder by Nancy and immediately put on a regimen to restore movement. I was worried about the time commitment because I have a busy schedule, but Nancy was very flexible with the recovery plan. I ended up with weekly sessions that made good use of my limited time. I have to mention that Nancy is a pretty petite woman, but her tiny little fists pack an unbelievable amount of power. I seriously couldn’t tell the difference between her and some of her metal tools that she used to get my tendons and ligaments back on track. Once I got started, the results started to materialize and after a couple months, I saw significant improvement with better range of movement and less pain. By the end of 2015, I was almost fully recovered, so I stopped the active treatment and continued with home exercises.
Currently, I feel great and there is no more pain! Before I visited Koh, I actually thought this was part of getting older, so I put off figuring out what was happening to me. By the time I first saw Nancy, I was seriously worried that I had waited too long and would not be able to regain shoulder movement. But she was insistent that she could help and wouldn’t be satisfied without a full recovery. I am so glad for her optimistic energy, exceptional dedication, and lively personality. I highly recommend this place.

Koh PT is the best PT lab in SoCal. The knowledge, experience, and techniques he and his team use are highly effective and work every time! I’m an avid cyclist, runner, and swimmer… and the various injuries I’ve experienced throughout the years of sport have been resolved by treatment at Koh’s lab. Highly recommended!!!

I had ACL reconstruction 7 months ago and after months of physical therapy, I still was in alot of pain. My surgeon recommended coming here and manOman was he right. My knee got better even after just one session with Dr. Perkins. I’ve now been going for about a month and honestly I am amazed at the results. My knee feels sooo much better ~ it works! I’m so thrilled that I found this place.

Came in for a knee issue after running. Place is great very attentive docs. They’re making the pain a thing of the past.

These folks are the best! Dr Koh, Dr Nick & Dr Manny (Perkins & Garcia) are all great. All the staff from front desk to the Drs are Friendly & fun but totally serious about helping you heal or achieve more athletically! The facility & equipment is top notch –but the healing is most important! I’m improving & healing with their help, hands, guidance & encouragement!
Why I ever went anywhere else I don’t know.

The staff is extremely organized, helpful and friendly. Accommodating to my hectic schedule and seem to care about patients. I saw Dr. Garcia and he was awesome. I look forward to healing my injuries with The team at Koh PT

I recently had knee surgery, and after several months of pain, I am ready to get better!
I found Dr. Koh’s facility online, and I am so pleased I gave it a chance. The facility is clean, the staff beyond friendly and helpful, and I truly can’t wait for my next appointment because they all make me feel better.
Everyone is extremely attentive and focus on getting you better. I’ve been treated by Dr. Perkins and Dr. Koh, and both are amazing. I had a slight set back recently that they were both able to get back on track with massage, stretches, and laser therapy. Any pain you may go through while there is well worth it! I am amazed with thier technique of working through tight muscles, relieving pain, swelling, and other unpleasant post-​recovery symptoms. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone dealing with injuries, post-​surgery recovery, etc.
The staff is great at scheduling appointments, and very successful at accommodating most people’s schedules.

So being somewhat of a virgin when it comes to physical therapy, I must say it’s been an enlightening experience regarding my hip! IMO, PT is like having a personal trainer, masseuse and dr all in one, score! I have excellent benefits so let me tell you, the price/$e$$ion (copay) is chump change for the services I’ve received thus far. Not to mention I have unlimited amount of sessions. Thanking my premier employer right about now, lol!
So far I’m on my second week of treatment (3x/​week) and here’s what I like about Koh PT:
Great location, plenty of free parking
Facility has up to date equipment and an excellent variety, including laser therapy
Decent size, never seems overly crowded
Extremely clean and well kept
Rooms are completely private for 1:1 therapy and massage
Open gym space with lots of natural light
Both Dr. Garcia & Dr. Kim are extremely professional, kind, demonstrate patience especially when I need it in layman’s term!
Therapist always ensures I’m warm before beginning any treatment
Thorough evaluation of my hip, very similar to my experience with my Orthopedic surgeon
You can book appts up to 6wks out (score bec I like routine)
I also like that I am not tied to one specific doctor! The dr’s take copious notes of each session, treatment and they scan copies of my take home exercises for my records. This allows me to see any Dr (thus highly flexible when it comes to booking sessions) I also appreciate varying perspectives and years of experience combined!
YOU ARE TREATED BY YOUR THERAPIST and not some trainee handed instrux on how to treat me! Deal breaker for me. Sorry I fully support learning, students and graduates but just not with my body and personal time!
So why 4 stars and not 5? When I first arrived the front desk associate was pleasant and had me fill out paperwork. I proceeded to meet with Dr Garcia for the first time. He did a thorough examination of my hip and spent a little bit of time treating me. When I checked out to pay my co-​pay, I was told it would be TWICE the amount. What? DOUBLE CO-​PAY for one visit? Was not provided a thorough explanation as to why, so I asked for their directors business card to follow up. This was a shocker and I still need to follow up on how this is billed and discuss with their OPS Director. Not exactly professional to slap that surprise on to your client the day of. I’ve never experienced this before and I’ve had my fair share of visits with «specialists» through my insurance. I also feel a business should fully disclose this policy upfront. After I follow up on this, I’ll provide a review update of their policy. I’m hoping this is just a front desk error/​misunderstanding, so more to come.
**No issues with the Dr.‘s whatsoever**
Tip: Ladies if you’re in need of therapy and Shia LaBeouf is your cup of tea, ask for Dr. Garcia! I swear this guy is his doppelgänger!!! All jokes aside he’s legit and has a sense of humor so makes the time fly.
Dr. Kim is one petite little lady that can pack a serious punch. I saw her this past Monday and dammmmn this woman has strength. Super strong hands, super thorough and wrote down all my home exercises.
I encourage you to check out their website and read up on each Dr.
Good luck future PT patients!

I came to Koh Physical Therapy for rehab on my ankle that I’ve re-​injured many times after reconstructive surgery. I was skeptical at first, thinking there’s no way rehab could accomplish what I’ve needed surgery for in the past. However, my doctor insisted I give PT a try first.
In about 2 months I’ve gone from barely being able to walk, to better shape than I’ve been in over 10 years. Dr. Nick Perkins got me there through a progressing regimen of exercises and massage. I’m now running and jumping again, and I finally have confidence in my ankle’s stability!

I had a real issue when coming to doc koh. I had bilateral thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) in both arms. Dr KOH had me doing over head squats, turkish get up, and battle ropes with thoracic outlet syndrome that was cause by my shoulder blades being downwardly rotated and a WEAK! upper trap and serratus anterior causing my clavicle to press against my first rib closing off my Thorasic outlet call droopy shoulder syndrome. I hope someone at KOH physical therapy reads this review. I was here for about 3 – 4 months 2 — 3 times a week cost me around 3000ish out of pocket. I’m not
mad about spending the (MONEY) I’m upset that some with this much education and experience in this field didn’t take the time to step back and look my problem. Dr koh only spends 20 min with each patient doing soft tissue work (gradston ART w/​e u want to call it) He didn’t even catch my anterior pelvic tilt… I wouldn’t recommend this place if you have a problem truly from a muscle imbalance. Over head squats, Turkish get ups??? with TOS let’s step back and think about that one. After treatment with him I had to go back to the Doctor and get Botox and brachial plex MRIs. Maybe after reading this review he will take more time looking at his patients instead of trying to fit as many people in his schedule. I think he could of figured it out well no I’ll take that back battle ropes with a impingement??? What the hell. Saw other physical therapists after and they were flabbergasted with the exercises. This place is ran like a BUSINESS like the other reviews said trying maximize profit maybe that’s why he has MBA on his coat next to his DPT.
1. Don’t go to this place if you have anything that requires thinking about your injury.
2. Don’t go to this place with a chronic issue such as TOS
3. If want to pay 100 $ per session for 20 min for soft tissue work then this is your place!!!
Overhead squats with bilateral TOS END OF STORY:) lets depress the shoulder blades even more
This review was written due to the fact that that the EXERCISE’s that were used were completely WRONG… This review has nothing to do with money or soft tissue work. Be careful what exercises your doing at KOH physical therapy.
