Plexus Physical Therapy

Excellent Physical Therapy resource in Moorpark.
I came to Plexus physical therapy because I was having pain behind my right knee to the point where I would use anything around me to avoid pain when sitting up from a squat position. When running, I felt instability and discomfort and I thought I had injured my knee for sure…
Luckily I was smart enough to visit Plexus and after a short session, they were able to pinpoint the cause of my pain to an inflamed tendon and tight hamstring.
With the movements and stretching Chester recommended, my tendon pain subsided within 7 days and the stability in my knee while running is slowly back to normal.
Can’t thank them enough.

Both my husband and I are very impressed with Chester Lin and Plexus Pysical Therapy. We tried PT foe help with Parkinson’s Disease. Chester is very knowledgeable in this area. He has helped with gait and balance. After a a few short months, marked improvement. We would highly recommend Plexus PT for your therapy needs.

I went to see Tran & Chester for my back & neck pain for the past 3 weeks for 2 – 3 times a week. Now my pain is gone… I felt they really listen to your needs, very knowledgeable & helpful! Super easy to work with! Great PT!

I’ve been to several PT offices in Simi, Thousand Oaks, Beverly Hills and Los Angeles areas over the years for various reasons, but Plexus ranks as one of the best. Chester is wonderful, but this review is specifically for Tran. I was already being treated by Chester for car accident injuries. But, when I mentioned that my jaw hurt– Tran said she could fix it. PT for jaw pain aka TMJ? I asked my doctor about PT for TMJ and he said «sure, see if helps.» I’ve had TMJ/​jaw pain for over a year now; jaw cracks/​pops when you open your mouth, pain & pressure in ears, trouble sleeping, joint pain, headaches. My dentist had made me a night guard for teeth grinding, but that wasn’t helping at all. Tran was right– after one session my symptoms were 85% better. By the 4^th treatment, pain was gone and I could finally open my jaw with no pain. Tran also taught me simple, yet effective exercises to help keep me pain free. Everyone at Plexus is great and they work as a team, so you get the best treatment and care possible. I highly recommend you give Plexus a try if you ever need physical therapy.

After a few weeks of therapy with Chester and Tran I feel much better. They ate very thoughtful about treatment and explain fully the effect and desired outcome. They are both very caring and personable. The best therapists in town for sure.

Chester Lin and Plexus Physical Therapy is the best-​kept secret in Moorpark.
I came to Plexus PT because I hurt my back and it would not completely heal up. I kept having this 10% that needed to be fixed. I went to another Physical Therapy office and it seemed to get better, but didn’t completely heal. This took 8 weeks and I still had an issue with my back.
Then I went to my doctor for a physical, he told me I should try someone else and he told me about Chester at Plexus PT. I was somewhat skeptical, as I just spent 8 weeks at another place, but wanted to get better, so I decided to do whatever it would take.
Chester is AMAZING!!! He is extremely knowledgeable, very personable and can explain your questions in terms you can understand with simple examples. When I first entered the office, there is a waiting room with comfortable chairs and magazines to read. You will not be there long, as Chester came and got me to start right away. We began with an evaluation and he asked me what I had tried at the other PT office. We talked about the exercises and stretches the other PT office tried and he said he had an idea of what could be causing this pain. After his evaluation, he had a plan and then we executed it. After the first session, the pain radiating from my back down my leg went from a level 5 to a 1. Chester showed me a set of exercised we did in the office and I was to do them at home before my next appointment. He also worked on my back and we checked everything again at the end of the session. My pain was down to a 1 and I had much greater flexibility after one treatment. My 2^nd session began with seeing how my back and pelvis were holding its position. My back and pelvis stayed in really good position, so Chester explained to me that we would work on keeping the position there and continue to strengthen my back and core. Chester worked with me, 1 on 1, showing me how to do the exercises properly and gave me more exercises to do. I was amazed at some of the things he tried that the other PT did not even think of. There was one muscle Chester found that was not working and I was shown an exercise that would reactivate it. He told me I would only need to come back once a week and he would keep increasing the difficulty of the exercised to get me fully healthy. Chester even emailed me the list of exercises to do at home and some links to Amazon to purchase a few pieces of equipment that would really help my body, after I had asked him about other things that would help me during my appointment. After just 2 sessions, I am feeling remarkably better than I felt in 2 months at the other PT office. I am very grateful to Chester and know that I will continue to get better and be completely healed up soon. Chester is the best-​kept secret in Physical Therapy. Don’t keep this a secret. Spread the word to everyone you know who is dealing with pain in their body, so they can see Chester and become 100% healthy and enjoy life without pain.

I have attended two other physical therapy places and I have to say this is the most personal one. he normally takes one patient at a time and he is very nice. He also has different classes for Tai Chi, sword fighting and a few others. I would reccomend this place before all others.

I’ve seen 3 different physical therapist in the last few years for my lower back. I wish I had known about Chester in the beginning. But I guess I wouldn’t know how great he is if I couldn’t compare him with others. What I really liked about him is his sincerity and true concerns for your pain. Like others who stated he focuses more on your treatment then the time clock, I 100% agree! Also he was the first one to work with me through the entire session rather than sending me off with an assistant. It’s crucial that your able to work and exercise with your therapist so that THEY, the experts, can see if your doing the moves correctly, otherwise you may not get the full benefits.
With 100% conviction I believe he is an outstanding choice for your treatments, therefore I highly recommend him.
Thank you!!!

I can’t say I experienced Chester’s physical therapy sessions, but I did attend his Tai Chi class. I have to say Chester is a very knowledgeable instructor, and very easy going to boot. I like the fact that despite his considerable knowledge about many aspects of the martial arts, he isn’t one of those know it all kung fu guys who claims to know everything about the martial arts.
I think his class is perfect for beginners like me and people who are looking to get some exercise with a Tai Chi class. May not be for you if your focus is on punching and kicking and getting ready for an Octagon style MMA fight, although I think you could definitely pick up some good fighting techniques from Chester’s class.
Lots of parking (it’s in a shopping center), other class members are friendly, a very non-​intimidating atmosphere.
Like another reviewer said, Chester is very generous with his time, is willing to answer any questions you might have for him, and seems to really care about his students.
A great place to go if you want to learn about Tai Chi and internal style kung fu.

Chester is persistent and very passionate about providing the best care. His ability to empathize and be effective in what he does is truly remarkable
I don’t write reviews (lazy.) but he has been so good in helping me with muscular pain that I could not help
Chester you are awesome !

The other reviews have all said it perfectly. Chester is an incredible generous, knowledgeable and skilled therapist. He listens, analyzes, and combines methodologies into a treatment plan that works. You never feel like he’s rushing to get you out the door — he’s willing to stay late and answer questions or show you tips for other physical ailments you might have. I had come to Chester with a sprain and dislocation in my wrist. He offered for me to come in twice a day, free of charge, to apply his Chinese ointment to speed healing. If he wasn’t with a patient at that time he would often give my wrist a cursory once-​over and pop it into place if it was bothering me. Chester always put treatment first and money later. He worked with my insurance and for the expertise and attention the out-​of-​pocket cost was extremely reasonable. Thanks Chester!

I have studied under many Masters of Tai Chi and Chi Gong. Chester’s knowledge of these arts is world class! His ability to teach and demonstrate makes studying a personable, informative and enriching experience.

I’ve been to three different Physical Therapists thus far and can say that Plexus is the best. Chester is great in all the right ways. He is generous with his time he spends on you, flexible in the way of finding a right time that will work with your schedule, and always looking to help you in any way he can. He listens and works in various way of helping you find the right exercises and treatment for your issues. You feel you are truly with an expert and one who listens to what you are saying openly. This is a 1 on 1 setup in most cases so you don’t feel like you are getting «passed down the line» with different helpers and waiting on a hot pad too long unattended. This is a custom experience.
Chester teaches tai chi as well as sword fighting classes on the side in addition to PT that he offers. I can’t help but say I’m impressed with his ability to relate with his patients and treat them all as people. He isn’t just a person to see but a friend. Awesome guy.
If you need Physical Therapy, I highly recommend this place!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I concur with other reviews, he truly is wonderful.
I’ve been to several PT offices in the past and this guy is just way better. He is kind, caring, smart and just a good human being. A true a Mensch. He has a fairly new office just off the 23 Fwy, LA Ave exit, near Target/​Staples in Moorpark, very convenient location, easy parking.
He is so unique, originally worked in AeroSpace Engineering and switched to PT, said he got tired of sitting at a desk all day, who could blame him. He is also a Martial Artist (Kung Fu, 4^th degree black belt) and just so into movement. He is working with me on my knee, recently messed up in surgery as well as posture etc. he is so knowledgeable gentle and kind and at the same time so humble. Every session is unique and tailor made, he makes it fun. Seems to know some Chinese medicine too and accupressure points, originally from Taiwan.
He takes most insurance but I think also has reasonable cash price and has a free initial visit so he can assess if he can help you or not. He also teaches Tai Chi. Getting PT from him is an honor. This is by far the best treatment I’ve received anywhere. He has so much passion and seems to truly care about what he does and about getting you better. This place is the opposite of being a mill. It’s really a pleasure writing this review for him, he deserves it. No, I’m not getting paid for this.

Chester at plexus therapy is the place to go. I suffered from a hip injury 3 years ago and I have never felt better than after my few sessions from working with Chester, I highly recommend his services!

All my life, I suffered from poor posture and low energy. After a consultation and several sessions with Chester, my health and the quality of my life has improved tremendously.
Chester’s background as an aerospace engineer and martial arts competitor gives him an unique expertise in his physical therapy. He draws upon the best of both western and eastern medical traditions along with mechanical engineering and physics to bring a highly effective holistic approach to health problems.
As an independent business owner and techie guy, Chester also works to minimize the red tape and inefficiencies you often have to endure in medical practices. If you are fortunate enough to receive his care, you will see the integrity and purpose he brings to his work.
Thank you Chester.

Chester is amazing.
I’ve been to sooo many physical therapists. Many have been unable to identify the underlying cause behind my knee issues, but he was able to pinpoint it very quickly and show me. Unlike many other places, I love that he gives you one-​on-​one attention. He’s very good at working out tense muscles.
I’m also a martial artist with 20 years experience in fighting. My power and speed are already pretty good. But using frame-​by-​frame video analysis, he told me where my technique was lacking. He then helped me readjust my punching technique so that it was even faster and more powerful!!! We took videos before and after 2 sessions. The difference was unbelievable… I was floored by the improvement.
He’s got an eye for these things. I think his engineering background coupled with physical therapy gives him an upper edge on the other places I’ve visited.
Highly, highly recommend. Especially if you’re an athlete.

This place is amazing. I have gone there twice and I really like how Chester was fully attended for me and walks me through everything. He also was so flexible with me on scheduling sessions based on my busy schedule which I really appreciate!
My previous physical therapist used to work with more than four patients at the same time!!! And schedules me on morning only!
I highly recommend this place to anyone needs physical therapy.
