Esther and Edi rock! They have helped me regain movement in my shoulder and strenght. They care and ask questions about how I felt. They gave me instructions on home exercises. Thank you both!

This is the first time I’m reviewing on Unilocal because I had such a great experience here. I came in to see Esther Alfi for the knee pain I’ve developed from running. Esty showed me great stretches and strengthening exercises for my knee, as well as how to manage my pain and symptoms. After several sessions, my pain is gone and my knee feels wonderful! Definitely recommend — ask for Esty!

If there were 6 starts I would like to score that rate. Professionalism is also in the eye of the beholder, just like beauty. I would like to say, that as an athlete, I have to endur the inconvenience of treating my body for injuries and/​or overtraining consequences.
I don’t really care!
I go to the clinic, they always have a schedule available at a convenient time, even as busy as they are — i go in in a short notice. I don’t only go for maintenance. Sometimes, I have an unexpected pull on my muscle and I need to see the physical therapist asap. The moment I step into the clinic I already feel better even before I get my treatment! Coffee, water, snacks, the kind receptionists who remember my name… I see Esty who in a matter of seconds (not minutes) touches the exact point where it hurts, where the pain is originating… Right there and then, I know I am — once again — in great professional hands. She talks kindly with me, I explain what happened, and then, she begins to massage with her magical hands.
As soon as she’s done, I continue the treatment for about an hour or so. Never rushed! I get the complete physical therapy: Between a total of about 4 different machines, hands, and people, I leave the clinic already feeling recuperated just after my first visit.
I can’t complain. I am still looking for a hair dresser in Los Angeles… Physical therapist in LA? My search was over a long time ago.
These guys are THE best! Save yourselves the trouble and schedule with them. Hands down, the most calm, kind, knowledgeable and professional peeps.

This is by FAR the best physical therapy practice I have ever been to in my life! I’ve had severe lower back pain for the majority of my adult life, with tremendous difficulty standing up or even sitting down for too long. I’ve been to dozens of physical therapists, doctors, and chiropractors over the years with almost no improvement whatsoever. My life changed for the better after a close friend of mine recommended Esther Alfi and the team at Beverly Hills Center for Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation. Esther Alfi immediately explained to me that my posture was greatly adding to my lower back pain and then proceeded to show me 4 or 5 different exercises that I would have to practice every day after waking up and before going to sleep each night. In addition to the exercises, she made sure that I received a massage and ultrasound on my lower back during every appointment. After about 3 weeks my pain went down to almost ZERO! I continue to see Esther Alfi and her wonderful team every other week and my heart fills with joy at how much she has improved my quality of life. I am so grateful to Esther Alfi and her incredible team, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone needing physical therapy.

If this review were for the receptionist, it would be five stars. Unfortunately it is for Esther Alfi, who was an unmitigated disaster of a physical therapist. If I could give this place a 0-​star review, I would.
I’d been having some trouble – bad knots in the muscles supporting my right shoulder. They’d been released, but I didn’t want to screw them up again, so I sought out physical therapy to improve my form and posture. The first thing Ms. Alfi said to me was, «Has anyone ever told you that you have scoliosis?» In my 36 years, I’ve been to the doctor once or twice. I think that if I had scoliosis, at some point one of them would’ve told me. She continued, «Your left shoulder is higher than your right. I’ll show you.» She turned me toward the mirror. «Now your right looks higher than your left. Hm. I don’t know, they’re very close in height, but trust me, you have scoliosis.»
I mentioned my chronic tendinitis in my left shoulder, when she questioned why my range of motion was better in my right shoulder than my left. She said, «You don’t have chronic tendinitis. Who told you that you did?»
I said, «Only my internist, two sports medicine doctors, two radiologists, an orthopedist, two physical therapists, and an MRI. Were they all wrong?»
«Yes,» she said.
She guided me through a basic exercise and was surprised when I couldn’t lift my arms over my head. I said, «We literally just checked my range of motion in your office, and I couldn’t lift my arms over my head.» She decided the best course of action would be to reduce the amount of weight I was lifting. Unsurprisingly, I still couldn’t complete the exercise. She took the weights away altogether, like I was suddenly supposed to be able to complete a motion without weights that I was already unable to complete without weights.
She looked baffled when I still couldn’t do it, and then said, «We’ll just do massage, laser, and ultrasound on you and then you can make your next appointment before you leave.»
I completed my treatment when the strangest thing happened: I had searing pain running from the top of my left shoulder all the way to my elbow. I asked her what was wrong, and she said, «Just take an Advil. You’re fine.» This was on Wednesday. Now Sunday, my arm is no better. The pain is constant and intense to the point where I can’t drive or even dress myself without wanting to cry. Rest, ice, and arnica gel help, but not enough. Unless you’ve got a seriously masochistic streak, avoid, avoid, avoid.
