What Pasadena Clients Are Saying

Real results from Pasadena runners, lifters, and active adults who wanted more than just rest and ice.

Long overdue review for Dr. Vincent Ho! I contacted Dr. Ho after I developed left sided neck pain. I initially thought it was just muscular, and maybe I tweaked it while working out. However, after it not improving and even worsening over the next 2 months, I knew I needed help. Dr. Ho was able to evaluate my concern by telling me to do various tests. He was able to pinpoint exactly what was going on and provide me with targeted exercises to do at home. After only a couple of DAYS of regularly doing the exercises, my pain was gone! Highly recommend Dr. Ho if you are looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and experienced physical therapist.

Dr. Ho has been a game-changer in my recovery from a snowboarding injury. He clearly has expertise not only in general physical therapy but specifically in treating snowboarding-related injuries. After experiencing neck pain from multiple falls that impacted my ability to do the smallest things in my daily routine, working with him brought me back to being a normal human… on top of being able to get back on the mountain faster than I thought! The genuine care he provided made my recovery feel like a collaborative journey. He took the time to really educate me about my injury and addressed my specific needs so I can participate in my hobbies without fear. If you're a snowboarder seeking specialized and expert care, I highly recommend Dr. Ho!

Dr. Ho has shown me stretches and exercises that helped alleviate my back pain that I have been experiencing from work. He is very friendly and knowledgable. He takes the time to explain each step to me and is incredibly patient. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for physical therapist! Thanks Dr. Ho!

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you want to know before booking your first visit in Pasadena.

Do I need a referral to start physical therapy in California?

No. California allows direct access to physical therapy for up to 45 days or 12 visits without a physician referral. You can schedule your evaluation or discovery call with us directly. If your situation requires physician coordination beyond that window, we will help you navigate it.

How is this different from a standard PT clinic?

Every session at Prestige and Performance is one-on-one with the same clinician from start to finish — no aides, no hand-offs, no 30-minute appointments. We do a detailed evaluation that looks at your full history, movement mechanics, and how the pain started, then build a strength-based plan specific to your sport and goals.

Will I have to stop training while I'm doing PT?

Usually not. For most runners, lifters, and active adults, smart training is part of the rehab process. We modify loads and intensity where needed, but the goal is to keep you moving and progressing — not to bench you with a list of things to avoid.

Why is cash-based PT worth the investment?

Cash-based care means your clinician can spend a full hour with you, build a plan around your sport instead of insurance codes, and give you their full attention every single visit. You're investing in detailed expertise and individualized care — not a shared gym floor and a rotating staff of assistants.

What should I expect at my first appointment?

Wear athletic clothes you can move freely in — shorts or leggings and a t-shirt. If you're a runner, bring your current training shoes. If you're working on a lifting issue, be ready to walk through key movements so we can assess your mechanics and build a plan from there.

Still have questions?

Reach out any time and we'll get you pointed in the right direction.
