VERT Fitness & Sports Therapy

I had the great pleasure of working with Jessica Lauppe and she definently knows how to heal you and she takes the time to make sure that you are taken care of. I highly recommend her services.

Great place for physical therapy. Caring staff and very good therapists. Convenient location. Had a back issue and they quickly tackled the problem. Highly recommend it.

I have 2 herniated disks in the thoracic area of my back. The pain had gotten so bad that I went for a surgery consultation with a leading surgeon from USC. My insurance and the Doctor wouldn’t agree to the surgery until I tried physical therapy first. I went in thinking I would go through the motions and just get it over with so I could get the surgery. Richie was my therapist and from day one really showed me the mechanics and exercises to strengthen the disk area. It’s been 3 months since my first visit and I’m no longer considering surgery. As a matter of fact, I just played hoops last night for the first time in a year! Ritchie and VERT changed my life… LITERALLY! Great staff and a great company. I highly recommend their services!

I had a very bad experience in this place.
Staff didn’t care about me waiting so I had to leave
I wouldn’t recommend it

I had a grade 3 tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, and after arthroscopic surgery, chose to have physical therapy here. I work out at the gym that it is adjoined to, which is very convenient since I can warm up, do cardio, etc. before physical therapy, and the location and parking is convenient. I also noted that VERT seemed to give more one-​on-​one attention. And finally, the Santa Monica location got really great reviews.
So far, Richie and Andy, the owner, have been extremely knowledgeable and explain everything really well, and the combination of exercise, stretching, stim, and soft tissue work seems to be helping quite a bit. And thankfully, I was right about the one-​to-​one attention, which I greatly appreciate.
The direct entrance to VERT is located at the back of the 360 gym, on the east side of the building in the smaller parking lot, on the other side of the building from the main entrance, very close to the intersection of Hart and Darby. There are several parking spots reserved just for VERT clients as well as lots of general parking and handicapped parking.
