Letgolts Method Physical Therapy

I have been a serious athlete all my life and a fitness trainer since 1990. After attending CU Boulder; and, living the skiing/mountain biking lifestyle of Vail, CO, I moved to LA where I met Dr. Letgolts in 2000. Over my 12 seasons of moguls, cliffs, and steep rocky trails I had fractured my spine, fracture/dislocated my shoulder/collar bone, herniated a disc in my lower back and also had a full ACL reconstruction. Dr. Letgolts was the only health professional that was able to help greatly relieve my constant pain. Today, I can still do handstand pushups, ski, climb, lift, run and mountain bike with intensity 5 - 7 days a week (an average of 12 hours). I send 100% of my clients with orthopedic pain to Dr, Letgolts first. Please note, he does not want any patient to become a 'regular'. He rarely sees any of my clients more than four times total. He teaches as he heals; as a result, I have become one of the best trainers. I have now learned more than I ever expected... the hard way. I owe Dr. Letgolts my life as I know it. I am still in athletic-chronological denial: I successfully ski moguls like I did when I was 25...pain free! Jeff Archibald

When the body fails us, it's never fun. Then when the trouble is in the orthopedic realm, the unpleasantness generally is heightened by confusion over what really is the problem. That is where Dr. Letgolts comes in handy. He listens, he looks, he feels and with knowledge that is quite extraordinary of the mechanics and anatomy of the body, he diagnoses and treats. His manner is so reassuring; he simply makes a patience feel safe and secure. Best of all, he gets results. I found this man by mere chance; I hope whomever finds this commentary will be able to appreciate a rare jewel in the medical field.

I went into Dr. Letgolts' office mentally preparing for hip surgery, because of a condition called protrusio acetabuli. The pain made it difficult for me to walk up steps. After my first visit which involved addressing my alignment, the pain subsided immediately. In short, no hip surgery and now I'm able to run up steps.

Gave me my life back. I could sing praises on Dr. Letgolts for hours. Truly he knows the body so well and knows exactly what to do to help you feel better. Not only that but also a really kind person who really cares about his patients. Truly a miracle worker - I could not recommend him more :) !

Dr. Letgolts is one of only a handful of "doctors" of physical therapy, and it shows. Part of the problem with muscle, tendon, joint pain, is that it is often referred, meaning that another part of the body is contributing to where we feel the pain. Dr. Letgolts is uniquely able to determine the source of the problem, and thus treat effectively. He has many patient successes, where other physical therapists failed to diagnose properly. He is also a genius at orthotics, a key to treating problems caused by bad posture..

I have been to Dr. Letgolts off and on for over 10 years. His straightforward no BS approach gave me reassurance that he could help me every time I went to see him. He not only helps to get rid of the ache or pain he and his staff will teach you how to do exercises to prevent injury in the future. I highly recommend Dr. Letgolts.

“Dr. Allen Letgolts worked a miracle for me. It is because of him that I have any range of motion on the left side of my neck and shoulder. He is a fantastic physical therapist and I would recommend him enthusiastically to anyone.” Andrea B.

Masterful physical therapist. I saw him for pain in my hip which I had for several years but didn't quite know what to do about it. He scanned me up and down, did some tests and figured out exactly what was wrong. His diagnosis also corrected other postural issues I had which I did not realize affected my hip. He truly set me on the right foot.
