Progressive Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation - Irvine/Lake Forest

Progressive physical therapy in Irvine has been so helpful in my complex medical journey. They've helped my quality of life increase, my range of motion become more stable, and they have been so understanding through so many challenges. Ann Ludolph has been specially trained in Manual PT and the Muldowney Method, which really helps with my EDS and hypermobility. My SI Joint Phisycal therapy with Ann has been an ongoing success as well. The encouragement and wonderful staff really help encourage me and lift my spirits when things are tough. I would recommend progressive physical therapy, in both Costa Mesa and Irvine, to anyone looking for a Great physical therapy group. Best wishes on your PT journey to anyone who is here reading the reviews!

Anna is the best! Thanks to her, our 88-year old Dad is a brand new person. Today, Dad walks/stands, gets in/out of chairs/bed/cars, steps up/down stairs/curbs -- without assistance, without pain, and without fear of falling. Over the past few months, Dad has maintained his progress with Anna's prescribed at-home program. Our family fully expects his improved mobility to continue far into the future. Anna is everything you could ask for in a physical therapist. As a professional, Anna is knowledgeable, energetic, enthusiastic, and encouraging. Throughout the three months of in-office therapy, she steadily challenged Dad while motivating him to keep working. As a person, Anna is incredibly friendly, kind, caring, and patient; her assistant Juliana is the same. Thank you Anna and Juliana so, so much for helping Dad regain physical independence and for restoring our family's peace of mind regarding his physical safety and well-being. You truly have changed Dad's life and ours! And thank you to everyone else at Progressive PT Irvine (Sean, Christian, Eva, Alisa) for creating such a positive and supportive healing environment!

Dr. Anna Reiser is the definition of the perfect doctor. She is knowledgeable, kind, patient and very good at what she does. The whole team is welcoming and warm from the minute you walk into the clinic. They were even kind enough to squeeze me into their schedule on very short notice when I told them I was moving to another state soon. With every appointment my pain improves significantly and I cannot be more grateful for this wonderful team. I am so sad to have to find a different PT once I move. This team is so amazing I wouldn't hesitate to fly 3 hours from Texas to continue my appointments if it were feasible. If you are looking for a doctor and team that will take the time to listen to you and address your concerns, look no further! I cannot recommend Dr. Anna highly enough.

I had a great experience at this office in Irvine/Lake Forest! I had the unfortunate accident of spraining both ankles. The orthopedic doctor referred me here because of the close proximity to my home. Dr. Anna Riser turned out to be a fellow dancer so we had much in common and many enjoyable conversations. The entire staff are friendly and fun. The exercises were gentle but effective. Thank you for getting me back on my feet, literally!

Dr. Sean Kim has an extensive background in kinesiology and physical therapy, and that extra experience he has as well as his dedication to listening to his patients, being complete with his physical exams, and having great bedside manner is what makes him such an excellent therapist. I am happy to drive an extra 30 minutes each way to see him. His staff he has been able to retain are also excellent and very professional. Highly recommend!

The amazing Anna Reiser was my physical therapist who helped me achieve all of my original PT goals plus others that she determined would be beneficial to me. I am Challenged by Lipedema and Lymphedema and she was able to reduce my fibrosis and encourage lymphatic improvement using ASTYM! I was confident about working with her at our first meeting, and she continued to amaze me through each session. She was dedicated, focused, undistracted, FUN!, and made lots of specific and easy-to-implement recommendations along the way that I still implement now every day. She changed my life and empowered me to keep it up :) I am confident that she will do her best for you, too! Give her a try!

WOW. I have to admit, I didn’t really believe in PT. I mean what’s all the hype? But my pain level made me willing to go to any lengths … ANNA has absolutely changed my life in 2 short months! I was only vaguely aware of how much the pain in my SI REGION was preventing me from doing any exercise at all. It’s been about 2 months seeing Anna twice a week. AND I’M OUT PLAYING PICKLEBALL!! It’s like a second chance at life & good health. I had never even heard of my SI region until now. (It’s the area between top of thighs & low back, all the way around) Anna has been amazing. She’s patient & she educated me on what’s happening with my body. And the support staff is out of this world!! If you’re thinking “should I..?” Your body deserves this chance to feel young again!! I’m so grateful I found Progressive PT. ❤️🦋

Physical Therapist Sean Kim and his Irvine team are the BEST! I hated to see him head down to Irvine to expand his practice, but I would drive to San Diego if I had to just to see these guys. The clinic is not one of your large multi-bed PT mills. Sean listens to your concerns and is laser focused on making you better. Christian, the PT Aide, doesn’t let me slack off and keeps a watchful eye on my exercises. I was a mess 2 months ago and man do I feel better.
