Bright Star Physical Therapy

I’ve been coming to Bright Star for about 5 years off and on now. I work with a child that has low mussel tone and was not able to walk due to lack of strength. All therapist that have worked with him have been absolutely amazing. Right now we’ve been working with Maisey and she is absolutely the sweetest. She works very well with kids and really does help out with points and tips to continue at home. We look forward every week for our visit because not only is the environment friendly but like I said we LOVE our Maisey!!!

Everyone there was amazing: the physical therapy was great for my baby’s flat head and torticolis and helping him crawl– no need for a helmet
We worked mainly with Bella and Maisy under the care of Marsha — wonderful and great with babies

Great staff and therapists. I’ve been bringing my son with MD for a couple of years and it’s been the best experience. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing therapy.

I was very nervous at first when I got referred to have therapy done after I delivered my third baby for my sciatica. Thankfully I landed in good hands. I am very impressed with this place! All the therapists there are great at what they do, are very patient and work hard for great results. Only reason i took off a star is bc of difficulty and time it too to verify my insurance benefits.

Definitely feel like you are part of a family as someone mentioned. Everyone remembers your name and is super nice and helpful. My son was diagnosed with torticollis and breech head (flat and cone shaped). We have been working with Macy to correct it and just received word that we have successfully avoided a helmet altogether.
Just a side note, Macy is absolutely wonderful, but in order to succeed, parents should be diligent about following through with exercises at home as well.

Masha and her team at Bright Star Physical Therapy are great! I feel like I’m part of the «family» there and look forward to each visit/​wish I could go more often :)
After doing research about scoliosis and learning about the Schroth Method, I looked for PT’s who specialized in it in the LA area, and Bright Star is one of the few places with specialists. Joseph, who’s at the front desk, was super helpful in getting me set up for my first appointment, explained payment, and is always on top of things for future scheduling. At my first visit, Masha explained the Schroth Method and we got started with a few exercises and have continued to add on more as I progress and become more aware of what I need to work on. I am now more in tune with my spine, curve, and the movements I should and shouldn’t be doing so that I can keep my curve from getting worse. I have noticed better posture and balance in my body and am excited to continue incorporating what I have learned into my daily life. It is really encouraging to hear about Masha’s story and how she has used Schroth exercises to lessen her scoliosis and she is always really helpful in answering all my questions (as I tend to ask a lot of them!)
At my appointments, I generally work with Masha and Bella, and at times there will be others observing. They are all great and I love that Masha is spreading her knowledge of Schroth so more PT’s are aware of exercises for scoliosis.

Can’t say enough about Bright Star Physical Therapy. Masha one of the owners has Been there for us since the beginning. She treated us like we were family. She took so much In treating and finding solutions for our daughter. I have never see such dedication and such interest in each and everyone of her cases like I do with Masha. All the therapist are great, and they all have vested interest in helping all the patients here. I highly recommend Bright Star Physical Therapy.

As you can imagine, I was very scared when my Dr told me that my 2 week old baby needed therapy on his neck. I was referred to bright star. After the first session, my nerves were eased. The expertise and friendliness of the staff are incredible. Within weeks my baby was already doing better.
Not only are the therapists good but the staff and facility are great to work with. They work around my schedule and offer two locations for me to choose from. My son is now 3 months old and we feel like bright start is part of our family.

My son, Asher, has severe cerebral palsy and is twenty years of age so he is big and it can be difficult to work with him due to his size and condition. However, the owner/​PT, Masha, really understands his needs and has been incredibly supportive to me (and my other children who had some previous PT needs). My son also has a great rapport with his PT, Steve, and really looks forward to coming to therapy. Also, for a portion of therapy, Masha works in concert with Steve so that Asher can use his walker. Two great therapists for the price of one! We highly recommend Bright Star!

Unprofessional handing with patients and things are completely unorganized dealing with my insurance. I was never sure why there was so much confusion at this office. I am changing to a new physical therapy office for my son, I am done with this place!
I’m not sure what is going on at this place. I know I’m not alone with my frustration for Bright Star. Both owners have no idea how to run a business. I wish I had never come here to begin with. truly not worth all the confusion. yes, Run!

These people… Where do I begin… They are the most caring and loving people I have ever met. They treat every patient like family, they offer little treats to kids, they work night and day, day in and day out so that their customers can be as healthy and as well as it is physically possible. I would go there again just to see THEM. I had a serious knee injury within 2 months I was up and running again. This place will always be my first recommendation for physical therapy/​pilates.

Thank you so much for your wonderful work.
Back in January we start going to Bright Star PT for my little one who was born premature 10 weeks earlier. She
has low muscle tone and sensitivity problems. Her twin sister on the other hand developed pretty fast. I was devastated and didn’t know what to do even though we had Regional Center PT coming to work with my daughter but it didn’t work. My baby was still doing poorly. Our pediatrician advice us to go and see Masha, she’s an owner or co-​owner of bright Star. Since then we were blessed and my baby is going great. She start to walk and her progress continue every day. Mash and her staff are wonderful they do miracles. They make you feel welcome, like at home and listen all your concerns.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to take a minute to write about the great experience I am having at Bright Star. When my newborn needed physical therapy, our therapist, Savina, went out of her way to make our experience worry free. She worked with our schedule, and would accommodate our coming a little earlier or later if my little one needed to nap. Savina is always professional, friendly and extremely caring. It’s such a pleasure to come to our appointments. From our very first visit, she explained everything about my son’s condition, and provided handouts and instructions on what we can do at home to help him improve.
Although my little one is still too young, their treatment center is filled with tons of toys that would make any kid want to come there to receive treatment; they would fill like they came to an indoor playground. Kids we see in the center always have a smile on their face.
I would definitely recommend Bright Start to anyone that is looking for physical therapy in San Fernando Valley. While Savina is our top pick, everyone else in the office is very pleasant and takes the time to greet us and help in any way they can.
Thanks guys!

I had a carpal tunnel surgery last year and they helped me a lot with the scar tissue softening and stretching and my hand is doing well. Very friendly and knowledgeable stuff, Savina helped me with my home exercise routine a lot and I am very thankful.

A few months ago, in addition to disk herniations already present, I managed to develop annular tears in the muscle fibers of my back. Upon recommendation of a close friend’s mother, I went to Bright Star Physical Therapy and actually walked out of the office.
Note: The muscles of my back had become extremely tense (as they were protecting my spine) that particular movements were excruciatingly painful and siting and walking were a challenge. I am still a patient at Bright Star and love the staff and appreciate all of their help in my ongoing recovery.
I cannot thank Bright Star Physical Therapy enough for helping me to feel better and get back into my regular and very active routine. I am a competitive swing/​ballroom dancer and I absolutely love dancing. I know that without PT, I would not have regained a lot of flexibility and mobility.
The staff and the owners of Bright Star are phenomenal. They are kind and conscientious and treat clients with respect and care. I have already recommended them to family and friends alike.

I can’t believe I see bad reviews in this establishment, This place is a blessing to us. if it wasn’t this place my uncle will not a balance to stand and goes to bathroom with minimum assistance
This is the place where they take care their patients. thank you Bright Star

I had to change PT clinics due to my insurance and I was very worried that Bright Star might not be a good place due to the bad reviews. I had no choice because of my insurance. I don’t know what other people have experienced, but I really liked the place. It feels like you are a part of one happy family when you go there. Everyone is very friendly. The therapists are very good at what they do and I am improving quickly. I was impressed with the way they can send the exercises I had to do via email and I can look at pictures or movies of the exercises. I do have to say that I had one problem with scheduling but it was fixed.

I had shoulder surgery and was initially sent to Progressive Physical Therapy in Tarzana and due to workers comp drama, I was sent to Bright Star. I was met by a «therapist» and she said, «Take off your shirt,» At that time I couldn’t take off my shirt without assistance due to the surgery. She didn’t assist me and she seemed oblivious to what she was doing. The therapist then had me lay down on a bed and placed a device on my shoulder for muscle spasm and after that she placed sports tape on me and said, «Okay we are done.» My session lasted ONLY 20 minutes. I was so upset that I wasted a therapy session and the fact that she didn’t even try to improve my mobility. DO NOT GO HERE!!! There is a reason why there are bad reviews here. In short, it’s horrible and you won’t get any results here. RUNNNNNNNNNN!!! If I could give it 0 stars then I would

Great place, free Pilates if you have diagnosis of pain or back problems, really helped with fixing my posture too.

I was very impressed with the quality of treatment and the helpfulness of the staff at Five Star. The owners are extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. I had a motorcycle accident that left me with multiple injuries and wounds. Thanks to Savina I am back 100%. I regained complete mobility and usefulness of my right leg and right hand. Her understanding of wound treatment and her compassionate attitude helped through those most difficult moments after the accident. I would strongly recommend Bright Star to anyone looking for quality therapy!!!
