Postureworks Physical Therapy

I came to Postureworks to improve my posture and address rounded shoulders, with the goal of improving my overall appearance. The process has been easy and straightforward, and working with Samantha has been a great experience. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and takes the time to understand your specific needs and tailor each session to help you achieve the best results. I’m very happy with how things are going so far and plan to continue my sessions. I would definitely recommend Postureworks

Very shortly after knee replacement surgery I was referred to Posture works by a friend. My first impression was great. From the overall environment and the front desk office manager Lisa Marie to the amazingly skilled and knowledgeable Kathleen Kaufman. Physical therapy can be painful and somewhat boring but this was not the case at Postureworks.I actually looked forward to my sessions with Kathleen. At the end of my therapy I had full range of motion and was entirely pain free.A great surgeon helps but a great physiotherapist is essential to recovery. Thank you Postureworks and thank you Kathleen.

Hands down the best experience I've ever had! The entire Postureworks team has been incredible to work with and have been absolute game changers in my recovery. Kim, Kathleen and Lisa Marie have been there every step of the way, making a difficult rehab process as easy as possible. Their expert knowledge and treatment methods allow them to custom tailor programs to best meet your needs. My quality of life has completely changed after working with Postureworks! I cannot recommend them enough!

On two separate occasions, this place has helped me recover from major, life-changing injuries—injuries that surgeries and other therapists couldn’t resolve. Earlier this year, I was hospitalized with excruciating back pain (9/10), even after undergoing two surgeries. I was on heavy medication and could barely walk a few blocks without pain. I missed a month of work. Now, six months later, after working with Alejandra at this office, I’m back to nearly all of my previous athletic activities, commuting by road bike, and living practically pain-free. Unlike other PT clinics, the therapists here stay with you for the entire session—no handoffs to assistants—and they adapt their approach based on your progress. Alejandra took the time to understand the nuances of my injury and tailored my treatment accordingly, always knowing when I was ready to take the next step. Fifteen years ago, Postureworks also helped me recover from a persistent arm injury that had resisted treatment for years. I had seen five different PT offices, all of which followed the same ineffective routines. Postureworks was different—they looked at the bigger picture and addressed the root causes. I always recommend this place as the best PT clinic in town. After 22 years in LA and visits to at least a dozen different offices, Postureworks stands out above the rest.

Since injuring my back over a year ago, I've tried 5 traditional physical therapists and saw minimal to no progress. I realized I needed to try something else, so I came to Postureworks. My progress has been nothing short of incredible! After a few months, I've gone from constant to intermittent pain, I'm able to do more everyday tasks, and I'm continuing to improve. Alejandra is incredibly attentive and always has great ideas for changing up my routine - I highly recommend working with her! The owner, Kim, is also very kind and makes a point to check in on me, and Lisa Marie at the front office is a pleasure to work with!

Raymond had an excellent experience with physical therapy for a hand injury. He was originally told he would need six weeks of rehab, but only had five days before needing to return to work. Thanks to Alejandra, his amazing physical therapist, he was able to make incredible progress in a short time. Alejandra was knowledgeable, professional, and introduced him to the Neubie device, which made a huge difference. After just four treatments, Raymond had noticeable improvements in his range of motion and was able to grasp and carry heavy objects again. We're so grateful for Alejandra’s expertise and the accelerated results! The office staff is great, Lisa Marie was able to work with Raymond’s schedule. Great customer service! We highly recommend Posture works!

Postureworks owner, Kim, and her staff: Lisa Marie, Marylou, Alejandra, Samantha (plus others) have all been vital to my healing journey. They combine a high level of professionalism with expertise and compassion! Kim's expertise in human anatomy, functional alignment and mobility as well as deep understanding of the interactions between the brain, joints and neurons (central and peripheral nervous system) are exceptional. She is also well-connected to other skilled practitioners with complementary strengths as she personalizes treatment plans for individual client's needs.

Look no further for the best physical therapist ever! Kathleen Kaufman is like no other, so knowledgeable, well train, caring and compassionate. Kathleen and Postureworks are truly a rare find. What a blessing it has been to have this care and recovery.

I cannot recommend PostureWorks enough! Using the Redcord apparatus for physical therapy has been the most effective PT method I've ever had. I have been in and out of PT for the last 26 years and nothing has increased strength while resolving discomfort and pain like my experience at PostureWorks with Redcord therapy. The 3D body scan is so helpful to track stability and strength imbalances. I was completely floored at the improvement in the scan results from the start to my "graduation" from PT. And that's just the methodology and tools! The team is incredible. Everyone is so kind, helpful and takes a full mind/body approach to healing. Kim, the founder, is incredibly passionate about supporting people's holistic healing and continuously educates the team and patients about innovative and effective tools. Lisa Marie, the office manager, goes above and beyond. Her memory and attention to detail is incredible from my appointment time preferences to complex insurance plan details. All around, one of the best places I have ever received any sort of medical treatment.

I've had a lovely experience at PostureWorks so far. Having struggled with chronic back pain for 10 years, I was struck by the simple fact that I haven't ever had an x-ray taken of my back. Out of the countless back specialists, doctors, and physical therapists I've seen, none have considered such a simple approach to diagnosing my pain. Lo and behold, my spine is off-axis in many spots from top to bottom. This was news to me, although it explains the pain I've been experiencing. I've committed to visiting PostureWorks 3x/week for the most effective treatment following the diagnosis. I must get as much out of this experience as possible, considering the price of each session and the total cost incurred by going so often. My treatment has gone incredibly well so far. The tractions are challenging, especially considering the degree of change we are striving for with my spine, but the effort has been worth it. For the first time in almost a decade, I've had entire days without *any* pain! I can actually feel the improvement day-to-day. It's important to note that all of the doctors at PostureWorks are kind, patient, and helpful. I can't overstate how important this is, especially given the circumstances required by being a patient (i.e., long commute via bus and difficult tractions). Some days I'm *really* not in the mood to have my spine yanked around, but the positivity exuded by the folks I'm working with makes everything feel more manageable. For what it's worth, I practice yoga 6x/week and other mindfulness techniques such as meditation. While I believe these have helped relieve tension throughout my body, I've never experienced such pain-free relief as I have since working with PostureWorks. Overall, if you have severe body pain, the folks at PostureWorks might be able to help. The care is expensive and time-intensive, especially if you don't have a car, but so far, it has been worth the investment for me.

I had recently started to ramp up my strength training, and started to notice some back pain during my lifts. After trying to figure it out on my own for awhile, I decided to research some places to get an extra look at my issues and correct some other imbalances I was experiencing during my lifts. After some searching, I came across Postureworks. I noticed their methods weren't what I had seen at other physical therapy clinics so I was intrigued, and signed up for a consultation. During the consultation, I worked with Elizabeth, one of the senior therapists, who asked me some initial questions about my reasons for visiting and walked me through a 3D scan to get a baseline of how I'm moving. Based on the 3D scan and her own analysis of how I was moving, we went through a series of exercises using red cord therapy to pinpoint possible weaknesses and worked on strengthening them. After working with Elizabeth during the first session, I knew I was in good hands. She's extremely passionate and knowledgeable about movement and the body and it's very apparent in the way she explains things in detail as she's working with you. Long story short, I signed up for additional sessions, and during that time, I was able to fix my back pain with their help. On top of that, I've gained awareness on all of my bad tendencies during my movements and all of my lifts have gone up to all time highs after fixing some of the imbalances. Currently, I'm continuing to visit them once a month just to maintain optimal movement and address any issues I'm encountering during my workouts. Just want to thank everyone at Postureworks from the front desk, to the therapists, and the owner. Everyone has been such a joy to work with! Special thanks to Tina, and Elizabeth for their time, knowledge, and patience! Thanks to Lisa for always helping out with scheduling and the warm welcome!

Best physical therapy. The therapists' expertise and professionalism are outstanding. All top of the line equipment and tools. From the digital assessment to the red rope exercises, as well as massage manipulation to release tight muscles. The office manager is so friendly and accommodating that it is a breeze to book sessions. My therapist Elizabeth remembers everything about my body, so she is extremely efficient at responding to my needs. I had back surgery 5 weeks ago, and so far no more pain from my herniated disc. This is absolutely the ideal place for physical therapy.

Love this place! They have really helped me get stronger and it is not the standard "do this ten times" kind of place.

Spectacular! I highly recommend Postureworks!! Postureworks has had a tremendous impact on my life and I am very grateful for all their care, attention and for helping me recover from chronic lower back / sciatica pain. About their Method: The 3D Movement Scan technology is what they use to diagnose the physical imbalances of your body and determine what treatment you should do. The 3D Movement scan is basically a sensor that images your body while in movement and uses software to create a virtual 3D reconstruction of your body to analyze your movements. The treatments are customized to each patient's needs based on the 3D scan results, your input about your body and the staff's assessment. Postureworks has a Pilates Reformer and many other equipment, but the most impressive equipment to me is the RedCord Neurac. This is basically composed of a height adjustable bed with a set of adjustable pulleys over it. The pulleys are attached to straps and bungee cords that suspend parts of your body over the bed and allow you to make movements free of pain to tackle problematic regions of your body. This method is amazing as it allows you to strengthen parts of your body and re-establish mind-body connections that you couldn't before because of pain. About my experience: All of the staff are very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. It is a very pleasant environment and I feel welcome there. I started out my sessions with Kim (the owner) and it was a great experience. She is knowledgeable and was very invested in helping me; with her expertise she was able to quickly identify what I needed to work on and set a plan for me. I am now working with Julia and it has been fantastic, I feel better every week. She is really good at understanding how my body is responding to the work we are doing; she listens to the input I give her about my body and uses that to tailor our sessions according to that. To finish off, Lisa at the front desk is the best; she's really organized, nice and attentive. Final Thoughts: Particularly, I think the sessions are a bit expensive, but when compared to other good physical therapy clinics or to Pilates and Gyrotonic studios the price is reasonable. I don't see Postureworks as a typical physical therapy center, it is not a "rehabilitation" center (which is how many people see physical therapy centers), it is much more than that. The work at Postureworks is applicable to anyone trying to work on or improve their body, be it people with injuries, chronic pain, athletes or anyone just trying to take care of their well-being. I highly recommend Postureworks!!!

Postureworks was listed on my surgeon's pt list. I am so grateful I picked them and they could take me! LisaMarie has been so helpful with everything! Elizabeth Rosenfeld has been my therapist and she has been so thorough, supportive and manages to hit my necessary Dr prescribed marks without me sweating, cringing and having three days of post rehab pain!! I recommend them and her everywhere I go! I can't say enough positive things about Elizabeth, LisaMarie and Postureworks!!

My experience with Posture works was incredible. I've been in and out of PT my entire life being an ex collegiate athlete. Most PTs treat you like a number and your in and out after doing a couple exercises by yourself. Posture works is the exact opposite!!! The owner Kim did an amazing job picking out every single one of her staff. I've worked with several of her therapists and they all work as a team. Very hands on. They actually care and want to see you get better. The technology they use is also something I was not accustomed to but it certainly makes a difference. (Work smarter not harder) The front desk Receptionist Lisa Marie is an Angel!! So accommodating and ON TOP of EVERYTHING! If you really want to get better and want to see improvements these are the people you want to see. I drive from Hollywood to see them (hour each way in LA traffic).... It's worth it

This is an excellent place for physical therapy. The combination of great equipment (redcord) along w/an experienced and knowledgeable therapist(Natasha) create a very positive, helpful time. You won't go wrong in your experience@Postureworks.

Postureworks has been a life-changing experience of physical therapy: in addition to focusing on the immediate pain concerns, all of the Red Cord therapists take a holistic approach that starts with proper breathing techniques and extends to full-body alignment as well as proper sleeping positions. Along with being back to biking and hiking, I can foresee that--happily and unexpectedly--running is in my near-future! Now that I understand and feel my body in new ways, I know how to do minor corrections that will ensure my form doesn't aggravate my piriformis. And during the shutdown, they organized online appointments to ensure I kept up on the gains made. This was a bonus so that now I know how to properly adjust while doing my at-home exercises. As a bonus for someone hunched at a computer all day, my posture is greatly improved. Although I worked with the fantastic Natasha most regularly, sometimes to accommodate my schedule I worked with the 3 other therapists--ALL were equally skilled and provided attentive care. In my previous PT experiences, this would never be the case. What I've learned and put into my weekly routine is a commitment that I plan to keep even once my injury heals: I'll do this with at-home exercises as well as regular in-studio alignment check-ins to ensure no bad habits inch their way into my routines. Postureworks is a unique holistic physical therapy studio that will keep you on the move.

I've been to dozens of massage therapists, acupuncturists, and physical therapists to try and deal with my low back injury but none of them got the results I've had at Postureworks. Sarah understand the human body like the back of her hand, thanks to her I've got my pain and nerve issues under control and I'm about an inch taller! Natasha and every other PT I've worked with here are in another league as well. Aside from the Redcord system (which is great), they all know how to get results, which is a testament to Kim's training and the business she's built.

Amongst the many things I love about Postureworks is their ability to work efficiently. Through the combination of advanced technology that quickly assesses the areas of my body that need attention and their dynamic Redcord machine, I feel as if each PT session is laser-focused, and always helps me strengthen the parts of my body that need it most. The staff is awesome. The studio is super clean. And, most importantly, I feel taken care of. If you're open to a high-quality PT program, and a great workout, I highly recommend Postureworks.

Postureworks' physical therapy program is life changing. I had an extreme case of anterior pelvic tilt which i've tried to correct on my own over the years but was never successful. That changed after coming to Postureworks. They use a special camera technology which takes a 3D rendering of your body doing certain movements to pinpoint exactly what needs to be strengthened/loosened to create a program from. The program they put me on not only significantly improved the issues with the pelvic tilt but highlighted other issues that needed to work on that I wasn't even aware of. I primarily see Tina, who along with everybody else I've worked with there, is intelligent, experienced, and skilled. 5 stars!

I've been hunched over a keyboard or video game controller for most of my life, and wanted to take corrective action. I've improved tremendously, and have learned a lot about how posture works (no pun intended). During my time, I've seen 3 different therapists thus far, and each one has been incredible! Even though the exercises we do can be difficult, I feel incredibly supported, and love that I can laugh with them. I'd recommend Postureworks to anyone in a heartbeat!

I have been to physical therapy for over 15 years to address various issues to do with rehab, body pain and/or body weakness. Having suffered a AVM stroke in 2006 that left me with physical challenges including dropped left foot, numbness from below my left knee to tip of my toes that impacts my gait/balance I tried multiple therapies and some helped, but never really made a huge difference. At the beginning of 2021, I started therapy with Elizabeth Rosenfeld at Postureworks in Santa Monica and continue to have physical therapy twice weekly. The improvements in my gait, balance and core strength can be attributed to Elisabeth education as a doctor (PhD) of physical Therapy, her knowledge of human anatomy as well as her expertise using RedCord therapy that separates her from all the other physical therapists I have been to. Postureworks is a great friendly environment and continues help me tremendously.

I am tall and have been slouching my entire life. Ok until I started having debilitating pain down my arms and into my hands. Who knew that the pain could be alleviated through proper shoulder and neck position and that could be learned through targeted exercises. Postureworks gave me the tools to learn how to hold my body properly. No more pain and, bonus, I can lead my life with head held high.

I drive from Burbank to see the therapists at Postureworks because they are THAT GOOD. I came in because I was experiencing knee and hip pain. Instead of getting an MRI and then waiting to talk to a surgeon, I knew that the staff at Postureworks would help figure out exactly what was going on, quick. Our evaluation was a bunch of simple movements with the Redcord system (both movement and static holds). I felt better after just the evaluation! Even though I work out regularly (I work in the fitness industry) there were still many basic patterns that my body had forgotten. After three sessions, I'm feeling almost back to 100% - I know that just a few more and I'll be good to go for another 100k miles. LOL Yes, it's more expensive, but that's because you work with the BEST therapists in the world and you will be better FAST! No more being bored to tears with more clamshells. If you value your health and your body, do yourself a favor and get on the schedule here. The biggest difference is that you won't have a bunch of exercises to do as homework - the Redcord system retrains your muscles how to fire so they spend less time aching and more time doing their job. Give them a try - you won't regret it.

Don't let the red ropes etc. scare you, this place is awesome. I have attended about 20 sessions at Postureworks and I can't even describe the progress that has been made on my shoulder. I have a severe shoulder injury, that was getting to the point where it was effecting almost all aspects of my life on a daily basis. I was miserable, and another cortisone shot was not going to make a difference. Furthermore, I was not ready to get a new "shoulder." Over the last 8 weeks I have made significant progress attending Postureworks. My range of motion has increased, my pain has decreased, and I just feel better about everything. Furthermore, I feel as I leave each session that I have made progress. Let's face it, there is no secret to physical therapy. While there are many methods, at the end of the day it really comes down to a few factors: (1) your attitude; (2) the knowledge and experience of your therapist; and (3) the work he or she is willing to put forth to help you. If you want to get better, I can seriously promise you that you will not find a better option than Postureworks.

I can't say enough about Postureworks and their unique approach to body awareness and wellness. Every therapist is outstanding! I have learned so much from each one and plan to continue learning and strengthening with them indefinitely. Yes, they're stuck with me for the long haul. No matter what is bothering me on any given day, they always have great solutions to incorporate into my routine. The camera scan technology that is used at the beginning an end of each 10 session package showed a very impressive improvement. Pictures don't lie. I am so happy to have found this fabulous, safe space for self improvement and graceful aging.

Postureworks Physical Therapy has been amazing and transformative for our teenage (15 yr old) daughter, who had severe back and knee pain from years of intense sports play (softball and soccer). Kim and her crew and their Red Cord Therapy has been, in our daughter's words, "the most helpful physical therapy of any work I have ever done." After two months of Red Cord Therapy, our daughter has seen dramatic improvement, significant decrease in pain, greater flexibility and most importantly her attitude and outlook has shifted from negative and tempermental to positive and enthusiastic. She has transformed from being unable to participate in many of the physical activities she enjoys to eagerly participating in all sports, cross-training, hiking, biking and all around being a happier, nicer person. Her years of playing catcher and goalkeeper took a toll on her body, and Red Cord (and Postureworks) has been the first organization who helped encourage her to continue her athleticism and interests while giving her the tools to ensure her recovery.

This is my first attempt at writing a Yelp review and the task seems daunting. Regardless here It goes: Postureworks Physical Therapy is a facility in Santa Monica that deals with a variety of maladies, and it is a special environment for the life and growth of an individual who requires physical therapy and/or an education on how to improve and heal your mental and physical being. Unfortunately, I have needed physical therapy many times due to a variety of reasons; car accidents, injuries, etc. and have visited many physical therapy facilities. Yes, they have taught me, healed me and performed what was necessary of them. Postureworks Physical Therapy is beyond a typical definitive physical therapy office. It is outside the box in so many ways, and it is a life-changing experience. The inclusive knowledge, degree of education and skills that they help you to develop in order to care for your mind and body are limitless and everything, yes everything and everyone there will help you rehabilitate and reclaim your life, body and well being.

Expensive? Yes. Somewhat limited hours? Yes Excellent, patient, and physic-scientific? Yes I've been coming here for roughly 4 months from a sport related injury and have seen results. These results I really believe will be long lasting as I'm retraining my mind on correct movement of my muscles. I highly recommend this place if you are truly wanting to retrain your body for correcting the issue but also prevention. What I like most are the different exercises that can be really challenging and help you focus on muscle movement without pain. The staff is also very helpful and fun to be around.

I had a very complicated case, and Redcord is unlike any other physical therapy there is. Kim is an absolutely wonderful person, as well as the rest of her staff. Postureworks (even just the name) makes perfect sense. So many issues in the body are due to compensation patterns, and that is a good thing, as it means with the correct therapy we can fix it! Postureworks is definitely a very helpful therapy to address many different issues, and Kim has not only helped me - but many other people with severe issues.

Postureworks has been lifechanging! As someone who was diagnosed with scoliosis by age 14, I've felt cared for poorly by all but one of my orthopedic doctors. That doctor sent me to Kim and I have never had a better awareness of my posture and my body's abilities since coming to Postureworks. Though it is a little expensive, if you care about your body and overall spine health as you age, this place is worth every penny. I'm lucky to have great insurance but regardless I have made it a priority to save and go at least once a week for the last year and I don't plan on stopping. I've never worked with a friendlier or more caring staff of therapists. You owe yourself a consultation to see for yourself.

Postureworks was my last hope for fixing my back before my scheduled surgery. Herniated L4 & L5, stenosis and a multitude of other back issues contributed to my daily pain and discomfort. The Redcord technique for PT allows the practitioner to focus in on specific muscle groups to strengthen and support the areas of my core that had been neglected over time. Sarah expertly oversaw my treatment plan at the office and I took all of her advice, exercising daily at home and never missed an appointment. Lots of hard work! It has been over 6 months since I graduated and have continued the exercises and stretching. No surgery, no pain! Invest in your body, do the work, go to Postureworks and feel the difference.

These people are wizards, plain and simple. I first found Postureworks back in 2017 when I was desperately searching for a fix for my excruciating lower back pain that was wrecking my quality of life and limiting my ability to travel, which was a big part of my job back then. Their Redcord technology is unlike anything I've ever seen at the many PT and sports medicine clinics I've been to throughout my long history of injuries and musculoskeletal issues...and it's astonishingly effective. They resolved my back pain within a matter of months and left me with an at-home program that helped me maintain the healthy movement patterns they trained me to develop. Earlier this year, I returned to them for a stubborn case of thoracic outlet syndrome combined with cervical radiculopathy. Unsurprisingly, I now feel completely silly for not having seen them for this new issue in the first place. Once again, they have produced significant relief that I had no luck finding from other highly skilled providers. Over the years I have received care from numerous top rated physical therapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, and pain management doctors in two major cities - and none of them compare to Postureworks. Highly recommended.

Postureworks Physical Therapy is not only staffed with the most knowledgable therapists, but the most professionally trained and well versed in RedCord technology coupled with other therapy practices. The therapists are very friendly and have helped myself as well as many of my loved ones and friends get better from injuries with severe pain and come back even stronger than before. If you are experiencing any type of pain, these guys can fix you and they do it well. I strongly recommend this treatment facility and Postureworks as a must go to practice. They will make sure you leave happy, and healthy, but most importantly, pain free!

Do you believe some therapies are life-changing for pain? Postureworks might be the right fit for you. I've been going to PTs, massage therapists, acupuncturists, and personal trainers for ten years and none of these offer a treatment like Postureworks. Kim and her team are great at pinpointing your areas for improvement, and teaching you a different way to activate your muscles. I enjoyed the suspension system of RedCord to work through those hard to reach movements. It's like learning to walk again for the first time. Once you get past the pain, your body miraculously adjusts. And you can quantify your movement and improvement using the scan. While I found the scan intimidating at first, I later realized how Kim and team are able to show your body moving using precise visual measurements. Amazing work team! Keep helping people on the golden road to recovery.

This is an unique type of physiotherapy and it is helping me with something that no doctors understand. I have been treated by Sarah and Pitsumay, and both are wonderful. The person at the desk is also so nice. I feel I am in good hands, there.

"I came to Postureworks with chronic neck and shoulder pain. Though traditional PT, manual therapy, and osteopathy helped my symptoms, I was unable to sustain any exercise or strength training program they recommended. Instead, everything that was prescribed for me exacerbated my symptoms. After my first session at Postureworks I knew I'd finally found the right place for me. The amazing Sarah Court began working with me, and in 5 sessions I felt a profound change in my body, one that I knew I could continue to build on at Postureworks. As a professional modern dancer I incurred many injuries over my more than 30 year career. So it's a dream come true for me to find scientifically based therapy in the Redcord/Neurac system, as well as a combined and collective knowledge of effective and groundbreaking therapies, and therapists, under one roof at Postureworks. I wish this had been available to me in NYC when I was still dancing. So many of my injuries could have been prevented!

Excellent place! I highly recommend Postureworks! I was in constant pain and after 10 visits I feel so much better. I work with Elizabeth but everyone there will help you feel better. Their method is unique; never experienced anything like it before.

This organization is extraordinary. I've had experiences with PT in the past, but it was for minor ailments so my exposure to it was limited. I'm lucky that the organization that I need to see on a regular basis is PostureWorks. I've had a life altering foot injury this year that needed reconstructive surgery. PostureWorks has helped make my life normal again and for that I will always be thankful. Kim, you're an angel and you surround yourself with other Angels. Thank you. Oh, BTW, they're all educated at the finest institutions in the US and have knowledge and understanding of the human body that is unparalleled. They are an enthusiastic group that genuinely gets joy from seeing us get better. If you have the opportunity to work with them, I suggest you make the appointment immediately to see them.

Put simply, Postureworks is great. But that's too easy. You must know why Postureworks is great. I was sent to Postureworks after my spine surgery to help strengthen several areas of my neck and back as a result of my injury and surgery. Improvement in those areas was expected and accomplished with the help of the skilled staff and modern techniques and equipment that isolate the injured areas to work on muscles that normally aren't activated by conventional therapy. But what I didn't expect is how much my posture and core strength would improve as a result of the therapy. For the staff at Postureworks, it's not enough just to make you feel better or mend ailments. They want to make sure these changes improve your life well after you no longer need therapy. That is the difference between this establishment and others. The entire group is knowledgeable, skilled, friendly, accommodating, and needless to say very pretty. I was very fortunate to find this group and would recommend it for anyone who is recovering from an injury or surgery.

My experience with Postureworks has been incredibly positive for many reasons. The first thing that comes to mind for me is the warmth that I feel from Kim and her staff as soon as I walk into their space; it kind of feels like a home away from home. Feeling welcomed and relaxed when I begin my physical therapy treatments is really important to me and they have created a wonderful environment. Coupled with their positive energy, the therapists at Postureworks really know what they're doing, and, in my experience, are able to take a complicated structural issue and break it down into segments that are digestible and make a whole lot of sense. They've taken a very strategic approach with me and for this, I am extremely grateful. I've made incredible progress in getting my body back to a place of internal/external stability and am excited to continue to work with their staff. Even more exciting for me is that I have an opportunity to work with the Redcord machine. I was a college athlete, have been exposed to a lot of training and rehab programs and the redcord machine is top of class. To be able to isolate muscles and strengthen areas of my body that have been "turned off", via the Redcord, is invaluable! And, the staff has clearly spent 100's of hours getting familiar with the equipment, as they are continuously manipulating the cords so that I'm able to push my body to it's limit, but not take it too far, and this balanced approach is critical for my healing and strengthening process. I love going and can't wait to get back for my next session!

I had a complete Achilles Tendon rupture, and my prognosis was to get back to my regular sport activities - tennis, ski, surf, bike and hiking - after 12 months of my surgery. The red chord method and the dedication of Kim, Sara and the whole team put me back skiing in 7 months, tennis in 9, and back to a regular sport life from then on. I am not the typical Yelp reviewer, but I really recommend the PT there. I still go once every two weeks to keep my maintenance and be aligned. My core never has been this strong ! Thank you once more !!!

I feel like I won the lottery - finding such a gem! I couldn't be happier with the PTs, facility and most importantly, my recovery. Before deciding to try Posturworks based on it's stellar Yelp reviews, I was going to Kern and Associates. Old school methods with little return. I was blown away by Val's vast knowledge and expertise. She is very patient and has a knack for explaining things in a simple way that actually helps me better understand my body and how to correct it through PT. I am no longer 'blindly' doing exercises hoping and wishing for results. I am back in control of my body thanks to Val and Postureworks - it feels great!! Their holistic approach to PT is refreshing and effective. And they REALLY care about their patients. I would HIGHLY recommend Postureworks to anyone.

Hi, I love going to Postureworks. A friend who's been going here off & on for 25 years recommended them. She was RIGHT! I do mainly Red Cord therapy now. Lisa M is my Red Cord EXPERT. She's fantastic and is one of a dozen certified experts in the USA. My core strength has improved DRAMATICALLY. I can now do things in my Iyengar yoga class that for years, until I did Red Cord, were impossible. Kim, the owner, is very knowledgable. She brings many innovative approaches to help me with my many and varied physical conditions. Thanks you all!

I've been coming here for years and they do a great job. Everyone who works here is very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them to anyone not just the injured but even to prevent injuries. Red cord is awesome and helps you keep lean kind of like pilates but completely different. Thanks to Kim, Sam, Sarah, and everyone at Postureworks for keeping me on maintenance coming back year after year.

They are so creative and knowledgeable. This is not your typical one size fits all treatment. You learn exercises to do when you are not there that you actually want to do! They look at the body as a whole and at overall functionality. All of this with the warmest, most engaged staff I've ever worked with. The owner is committed to staff education. They are always training and refining their skills. I send everyone I care about here.

I was a patient of Kim's and Sam's for about half a year. They were amazing. This was about a year and half ago. My knee now gives me no trouble, and I thank the heavens for finding this new therapy, that really settles one and makes one highly aware of bodily movement for great benefit. I can only say that the red cords look scary at first but the therapy is so wonderfully personally directed at the patient one always feels guided. I worked with Sam, who I describe to all my friends as an angel. She is patient and careful, and knows what she is doing. They are all so committed to helping us feel better!

Really impressed with the quick results! After 10 years of awful posture, the pain has really caught up with me the past couple of years. Specifically, I had been experiencing knee pain, sore shoulders and an acute pain in my upper/middle back. I was hesitant of physical therapy or seeing a doctor as I thought my case wasn't sever enough. Instead, I incorrectly used yoga as a way to feel better, temporality. Finally my boyfriend and friends had a bit of an intervention and made me schedule an appointment with a physical therapist. After doing some research, postureworks seemed to have the fastest results and really specialized in the issues I had. The first consultation was very educational. These people will change you! Change the way you stand, walk, sit, breath, clothing you wear, everything! I signed up for 12 sessions which I completed between the months of June through September. The pain went away in about one month and I used the other two months to work on strengthening the right muscles needed to hold myself up correctly. My therapist taught me how instability in my lower muscles resulting in upper back / shoulder pain. They gave exercises to practice at home, which I do daily now. My main therapist was Sam, who is really sweet and patient. I have also trained with Val and Kelsey. All the trainers are super knowledgeable and offer different perspectives. A few weeks ago I traveled back to my hometown and my parents noticed I was standing taller! My back isn't perfect and I still need work, but I am really impress with how quickly I am seeing results.

This is a very innovative group using techniques that I found extremely effective. My entire experience was excellent, but especially when I had problems with my insurance company and they were terrific in their commitment to me and service. I highly recommend them .

I was experiencing severe back pain and contacted this office to seek treatment. They saw me the next day and after one treatment I already felt significant relief and understood my road to recovery. Unfortunately my insurance situation did not work out so I was unable to continue treatment, but I can that after only one visit, I can highly recommend Kim for treatment!

Postureworks is incredible. The staff is welcoming and warm and the therapist are top notch. I have been working with Val and she has been nothing short of amazing. Postureworks use of redcord technology is superior to traditional PT. I have been dealing with Injuries for over 5 years and have been to many different physical therapy offices. Postureworks is the hands down the best! I look forward to continuing treatment at Postureworks and reaching my health goals. A big thanks to Kim, Val, and the rest of the Postureworks staff!

Kim Finklestein, owner, is the consummate professional and her experienced, caring team at PostureWorks are simply amazing. The Redcord system used there is very unique tool to improve posture and assist with assessing the whole body to heal from surgery or any kind of injury. My therapist, Kelsey Ross is fantastic and extremely knowledgeable when using manual therapy, as well as Redcord to help me recover from shoulder surgery. She is also fun to work with!! I am so happy i found Postureworks for my husband and myself and it feels great to actually ENJOY going to Physical Therapy sessions!!! Try Postureworks.....you'll get hooked. Michelle Innocenti

I can't say enough good things about Postureworks! I have been around the block for years, seeing various practitioners, trying to get my neck and spine, and dizziness probs, to improve. Nothing has come close to Kim and her staff. First of all, it's such a relief to hear a PT talk about how it's all one body, and what goes on in one part affects the rest of you. Besides Kim, I've been working with Val and Krista. Both of them and Kim are clearly so skilled and caring. Redcord goes way beyond the typical treatment most of us have gotten. When I start a Redcord session with Val, I know that she is completely tuned in to my specific issues. And then there's craniosacral therapy with Krista. Look it up, I can't explain it, other than calling it magical. Even the vibe when you walk in.....Bernadette is so welcoming, and completely on top of all the admin. stuff. If you're concerned about going out of network, or spending more than you'd want on PT, let it go. Your body and soul deserve this!

Postureworks and Kim Finkelstein saved me. After tearing my MCL, it was difficult to find a PT place where they didn't just give you an exercise and go off to the next person. At Postureworks, they treat the whole body. As the body heals, it is necessary to reprogram the brain and turn the pathways back on. The Red Cord technique helps to reactivate those neuro-pathways. Postureworks is so much more than just straight up PT -- we did slow breath work to build an energy flow with pressure on trigger points to release the ligaments and muscles and even deep tissue massage for to open up the fascia. Kim and her entire team are miracle workers -- knowledgeable and caring.

My knees are knocked out of alignment and 2 years ago I received knee surgery for a torn meniscus. After the surgery I attended one physical therapy session. I thought to myself this is a joke, I can do this myself and stopped going. One year later my knee started to boil with pain again. After 10 minutes of light jogging I had to stop. I went back to my orthopedic surgeon and explained to him what was taking place. I also insisted that I did not want to under go any more surgery if it was not necessary. He gave me the name of a few different physical therapists that my insurance covered. However, all of these places were located in San Diego and I reside in Los Angeles. I did some research of my own and discovered Postureworks last September. My insurance does not cover me for LA County but Postureworks worked with me so I would be able to come. There are not enough great things I can say about this PT Office. After visiting numerous physical therapists, Postureworks holds the crown. I was evaluated by Kim, the owner, a very charismatic pregnant woman. When I explained to her my previous knee problems and how my knees were off alignment, she was confident in me and with the right exercises, that we could get them back on track. After having a few sessions with Kim she left for maternity leave, I began to see Ivy, another PT at the office. Ivy was just as excellent. These woman work hard from their deep tissue massage to getting down on the floor and forming your body into the right positions. My knees are now aligned and I am able to run 5 miles a day and have to thank the team at Postureworks for that. I once thought I was destined to knee problems for the rest of my life. These women showed/ taught me that you don't need surgery for every problem and the body can be fixed through touch. I am pleased to provide them with my business once a month to keep my body on the right track. They truly are miracle workers.
