Progressive Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation – Irvine/Lake Forest

I’m not sure where to begin…. This place is all smiles. You want to know what a team looks like, go there. My therapist Anna is smiling all the time, I love it. She gives the best massage for my tensed muscles! This place is my little gate away for some peace and quiet. The assistants are also very friendly. All of them really, including the front desk. I feel guilt for not knowing everyone’s name but it’s every one of them that bring in the positive feel the center! And of course, the pain has decreased and I look forward to feeling better and better each day.

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!

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. 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.

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!
