Expert Physical Therapy in Pasadena, CA

Movement is medicine. We get the results to prove it. One-on-one care with a Doctor of Physical Therapy who takes the time to find the root cause and get you back to what you love.

You Deserve Better Than One-Size-Fits-All Care

Traditional physical therapy often falls short, leaving you frustrated and still in pain.

Rushed Appointments with Minimal Results

Spending just 20-30 minutes with a therapist who's juggling multiple patients means your specific needs get overlooked and progress stalls.

Band-Aid Solutions That Don't Last

Treating symptoms without addressing the root cause keeps you coming back with the same pain, dependent on medications or injections.

Generic Exercise Plans That Fail

Cookie-cutter programs designed for everyone work for no one, leaving active individuals unable to return to the sports and activities they love.

Physical Therapy FAQs

Common questions about our Pasadena physical therapy services

1. Do I need a referral to start physical therapy? No, California allows direct access to physical therapy. You can schedule your free discovery call without a physician referral and begin treatment immediately.

2. Do you accept insurance? We are not in-network with insurance providers, operating as a cash-based practice. This allows us to offer longer sessions (90-min initial, 60-min follow-ups) and one-on-one care without insurance restrictions. Many patients find the results worth the investment, and we can provide documentation for out-of-network reimbursement.

3. How long are the physical therapy sessions? Your initial evaluation is 90 minutes, giving us time for a comprehensive assessment and treatment. Follow-up sessions are 60 minutes—significantly longer than the 20-30 minute appointments at traditional clinics, ensuring you receive dedicated attention every visit.

4. What should I bring to my first appointment? Bring comfortable workout clothes, any relevant medical records or imaging results, a list of current medications, and your questions. We'll handle the rest during your thorough initial evaluation.

5. How many sessions will I need? Every patient is different. During your initial evaluation, Dr. Ho will create a personalized treatment plan and give you an honest estimate based on your specific condition, goals, and response to treatment. We offer flexible packages of 1, 5, or 10 follow-up visits.
