Ayako Physical Therapy - Ayako Shono, MPT, Newport Beach, CA

I have worked with Ayako for the past 4 years over the course of my career as a D1 volleyball player. She has always done an amazing job tuning me up in the off-season and before big matches to make sure that I am feeling my best. She knows so much about the body, how injuries are caused, and more importantly how to treat them and ensuring I am ready to play. On top of that she is extremely nice and wants what is best for her patients. Her knowledge, caring nature, and professional staff make every visit productive and positive. I recommend her without any hesitation!

I have been coming to Ayako PT for the past 3 years, as a D1 athlete and professional volleyball player. She is the most knowledgeable person about the body’s movements I have ever worked with. I strongly recommend not only for athletes, but for everyone to understand their bodies natural position, to find the root causes of pain, and to solve them together.

Best physical therapy office I’ve ever been to! I’ve lived with chronic back and shoulder pain for more than 10 years (I love sports) and Ayako is the only pt who’s been able to get me pain free! Highly recommend!

I have been coming to Ayako PT for over 5 years. I could not be happier with the treatment or the staff. They are personable, knowledgeable, and treat patients as individuals. I am a former college athlete and have been a patient at more PT clinics that I want to admit. Ayako has a very different and distinct treatment style that addresses the root of the injury itself and not just a quick attempt to get you out the door. I’ll be a patient for life and would recommend anyone having movement issues or recovery issues to come check out her clinic.

Ayako is astoundingly effective at accurately evaluating and treating my pain. I have been seeing her over four years and my opinion of her superior skills has only grown in that time. She watches me walk and sees exactly what I need to ease my pain. She goes one step further and works with me to strengthen my core and muscles so I continue to grow stronger and improve my balance. I trust her judgment, and wish I could give her more than five stars.
