Michael Ko, DPT

Best physical therapy care ever!!! Mike is not only the best physical therapist I’ve ever seen but he is probably the best medical care provider in general that I’ve ever come across! I had a micro-​discectomy in March of 2015 and I came to Mike in September that same year. I was very frustrated because 6 months after surgery I still couldn’t drive, get back to work or sit very long at all– (and that was with other PT care during that 6 months). Mike quickly changed all of that. Within two weeks I began to improve and began to drive myself to our appointments. About a month into treatment, I started to get back to work, life, etc. Mike’s approach was exactly what I needed. Of course he is highly qualified with a phd from USC but, he brings another level of holistic perspectives that make for an amazing balance of care! If something is not working for you– he will not give up till he finds something that does (because every body is so different) and his tool box of approaches seems to be infinite! He is also highly accessible, more than any other doctor I’ve had! He will text, call, email with super fast turn around (which is amazing when you’re scared and in pain and you have nowhere to turn!!) If you are in pain and you have tried different treatments/​doctors that haven’t worked– don’t give up– see Mike!

I have Traumatic arthropathy due to an injury to my hip joint, which has resulted in degenerative changes to my femur, limitations in movement and pain. With that said I had learned to accept my pain and discomfort, however after having a consultation with Michael my options seemed to change to include a sense of hopefulness. Michael is very thorough, knowledgable, honest and kind. He does not seem to stick with the traditional PT exercises but rather explores and educates in order to determine what individual plan best suits each individual. I highly recommend his services!

I originally saw Michael for knee problems, and when I later developed shoulder problems I did not hesitate to see him again. I think his diagnostic and communication skills are exceptional. He asks the right questions and listens intently, hearing both what you’re saying and not saying to determine a course of action. One of his strongest attributes is to clearly explain what the problem is and how to resolve it. The best PT I’ve worked with (and there have been too many). I highly recommend him.

I have been to Dr. Ko twice now and he has exceeded my expectations each time. He not only provided relief within a couple of sessions, but he was also very welcoming and easy to talk to — it actually made me look forward to coming to my sessions! I would definitely recommend him to anyone I know.

Dr. Ko is one of the most experienced therapists I have every seen. Coming from a more athletic background with my injuries, he knew exactly what was wrong and knew how to diagnose and treat my issues. I’ve learned a great deal from Dr. Ko not only in rehabilitating my injuries, but in overall strengthening and mobility for my entire body. Highly recommended!

Follow Dr. Ko to the ends of the earth? You bet! After the relief he’s provided from plantar fasciitis, botched knee surgery, and hip issues (not to mention all my son’s sports injuries), I will entrust my family to no one other than Dr. Ko.
Professional, knowledgable, caring, super nice, I recommend Dr. Ko to everyone. You owe it to your body to see Dr. Ko. You will be impressed

Dr. Ko is an extremely knowledgeable therapist. After a shoulder surgery that didn’t heal quite right (and after working through pain, loss of neck mobility, and other therapies for over a year), Dr. Ko worked on it and, after one session, I had regained my full range of neck mobility, almost all the pain was gone, and the grinding noise in the joint was eliminated. After a second session to address knee pain, he had eliminated 90% of the pain. As a yoga teacher and studio owner, I take a great deal of care when recommending someone, since I consider my own reputation to be on the line as well… I have recommended Dr. Ko to several of my students without any hesitation whatsoever!

I’ve been visiting a lot of physical therapists lately due to a knee surgery and I finally found one that was worth every penny for his services. Dr. Ko was recommended to me by a friend, and he did not disappoint. He genuinely cared about my well being and was extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend Dr. Michael Ko to anyone, he’s my permanent physical therapist!
