Plumb Line Pilates & Physical Therapy

Physical therapy has been part of my life since 2005 when I was diagnosed with Spasmodic Torticollus. So Plumbline is not my first time at the PT rodeo. But Allison does things differently, and I like it.
First, there are no aides. An hour with Allison means just that. The space is light and calming, spare and lean. The music is jazzy, mostly Diana Krall. But perhaps best of all, Plumbline Pilates is predominately a precise, healing modality, not a cosmetic fitness one. She is helping relieve the back of my neck by strengthening other parts (like my mid back and abdominals) to carry neck’s weight.
Plumbline is out of network but accepts both my primary and insurance. In summary: previous PT has taken care of 80% of my pain and disability. At Plumbline, Allison and I are tackling the last 20%.
And looking terrific is a very pleasant side effect!

Plumbline Pilates and PT was a huge partner to me during my pregnancy and postpartum. I worked with their trainers doing pilates weekly during my pregnancy and toward the end worked with Allison and Linda on a hip issue that hindered my ability to walk. With their help I recovered in just a few weeks, and during postpartum Linda did amazing work rehabing my hip which again became aggravated during labor. Plumbline helped me get back on track after having the baby and I bounced back to my pre-​pregnancy weight very quickly doing pilates twice a week. I call them miracle workers because it’s true! I highly recommend any of their pilates instructors as well as Linda and Allison for their expertise in women’s health. A HUGE thank you to the entire team for their support!

Alison is the absolute best! I had spent several hundred dollars and many hours at another Santa Monica physical therapy establishment, and never even got an accurate diagnosis for my lower back and leg pain. Alison was able to diagnose my problem on my first visit, and I have improved radically under her care. The combination of physical therapy and pilates instructor in one person is brilliant. Also, the facility is beautifully laid out, clean, spacious and light, and there is parking. Awesome.
