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

Rushed Appointments with Minimal Results

— Dylan C.“I was experiencing severe lower back pain due to disc issues, but Vincent explained the relationship between my spine and pelvis. He recorded my mobility and pain metrics to track progress. I feel like I have found my physical therapist for good.“

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.
