Custom Physical Therapy

I Just read the review from 3÷14÷2016 and I have to respond. I had been a patient of Custom post surgery on my back and had never experienced anything less than the utmost of professional and caring treatment! The front desk is always ready with a warm and friendly greeting and the staff from my therapist to the amazing aides made me feel like I was the only patient in the office… As far as the paperwork .yes that is to be expected in a Therapy Office… and yes as they say «sometimes things happen» beyond our control. I am sure it was just as upsetting to the staff as it was to the patient who did not get seen that day. So I suggest to the folks who wrote that review you better get a thicker skin and go live in a bubble …

I was referred to Dan at Custom Physical Therapy after a car accident. He put me back together, relieved my chronic pain and explained everything he was doing. Everyone from the front desk to the assistants were caring and concerned. Recommend highly!

I have avoided P.T. since I had a terrible experience at a hand therapy group in T.O. many years ago (had to take vicodin to get through the visit). Seeing Angela Rubino gave me more mobility in my neck and I’m able to open my mouth without it cracking all the time. No vicodin necessary! Just going to my pain tolerance. Aides are very good with massage and cupping and other healing modalities. Patient and kind! Great «vibes» in the office.

I have been to Custom Physical Therapy a couple of times over the years for a couple different issues. The first issue I had was when my dentist left bone inside my gums when he removed my wisdom teeth. My jaw was so stiff and I could barely open my mouth much less eat. In my very first visit Mike was able to work on my jaw and it was immediately 80% better and after two visits my jaw no longer had any issues.
My second visit was when I was having back pain that came along with my very physical job. I am a bartender and I knew the pain would probably be ongoing if I didn’t find a way to treat it. Luckily Dan had a very hands on approach and discussed everything he was doing as he worked on me. He also taught me exercises that would help me strengthen my back and help with the pain. Now I do these exercises at home and very rarely have back pain anymore. He also made me aware of how my posture was when I was pouring drinks hovering over a well everyday. This made me more conscious of the things I was doing that was contributing to my back pain.
I would definitely recommend Custom Physical Therapy to anyone in pain. Not only do they help you with your pain but they describe what they are doing and ways you can help your pain at home. Every member of the Custom Physical Therapy team was helpful and extremely thorough. They are a must if you are experiencing any pain.

Dr. Angela Spruill is basically a miracle worker in my book! I suffered a broken sacrum in a very bad fall from a horse nearly 2 years ago. That means that for 2 years I’ve barely been able to walk without pain, but I’ve been sucking it up and dealing since I felt grateful just to not be paralyzed. I didn’t really think a physical therapist could do much for me, since my previous PT experiences (for other injuries… I play a lot of sports) mainly involved weird exercises that didn’t seem to help.
Was I ever wrong! Seriously, I’m 6 weeks in to treatment with Dr. Angela, and I had my first pain-​free days since 2012 last week. It felt incredible. There really aren’t adequate words to describe how it feels to be given a huge chunk of your life back. Dr. Angela listens to all of my concerns and thoughts, and she’s a good conversationalist too. Her assistants are all very professional and good at soft tissue work, and the front desk staff is pleasant and helpful. All in all, a great experience.
If you’re suffering from pain that you think is pretty much permanent, do yourself a favor and at least get an evaluation from Custom. You could be doing yourself the biggest favor of your life!

Words cannot express how wonderful Mike Burns and his entire staff are! I was in a bad car accident 20 years ago and have had back issues on and off over the years. Before I moved to Thousand Oaks (a few years ago), I went to Physical Therapists in Los Angeles and thought they were good… until I went to Mike. Mike is a miracle worker. His methods aren’t always the traditional methods I received from other PTs. His methods work better! And he is very thorough in describing exactly what is going on with my back and hip. The support staff is top-​notch, ethical and fun. Just a great group of folks, highly trained and caring. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

I have never been to a physical therapist and had always gone to a chiropractor for pain and other issues. I will never go to a chiropractor again. My wife had gone to see Mike a couple of years ago and ranted and raved about what he did for her, so when my shoulder and neck were hurting I thought I would give it a try.
I can only say that the results were nothing short of amazing. From the staff at the front desk to all of the assistants, everyone was polite, friendly, and helpful. They seem to actually care about you and your health and treat you the way you would expect from real professionals.
Mike took me through a litany of procedures explaining in great detail the why and the how as he searched for the problem. His careful and thorough process started working almost instantly and I am eternally grateful to be able to shank golf balls all over the golf course again.
Thanks again guys!

I don’t give 5 stars very often, but Mike Burns deserves more than 5 stars! I have been dealing with extreme pain and musculo-​skeletal imbalances for about a year now and started seeing him in October of 2011. Although the underlying problem took forever to diagnose, I couldn’t have continued to function without his help. To say that he uses unorthodox methods is an understatement, but the relief I got from his treatment has been a life saver (or rather a quality of life saver). I was pretty much in tears when I saw him for the first time, and now I can get through the day without pain medication on most days.
Everyone at the office is wonderful as well and very accommodating. Go Mike!

I had seen at least 20 PT’s, Chiropractors, and Massage therapists for back pain and headaches none of which were able to help me the way Mike Burns at Custom Physical Therapy was able to. After years of pain I had pretty much given up on feeling better. Going to Mike was the best thing I have ever done for my pain. I highly recommend him to anyone with pain even/​especially if you have seen many others who have not been able to help you. Mike implements techniques that most PT’s don’t use, but should.

Everyone at CPT is amazing. They really take the time to explain to you what’s going on with your body and take time to treat specific issues. They are organized and pay attention to detail. Dan and Holly were my two p.t.‘s they both did an awesome job relieving the pain of my injury.

After three physical therapists, four chiropractors, two acupuncturists, and numerous massage therapists, I had pretty much resigned myself to living with back pain. My problems were chronic enough to interfere with my quality of life, but not «severe» enough for any of my doctors to take seriously. When I first went to Custom, I was expecting the same brushoff treatment, but they actually took me seriously. The physical therapists at Custom see physical therapy not just as a job, but a calling. Their treatment is comprehensive, thorough, and effective. They don’t just throw a bunch of exercises at you like most PTs. Everyone on staff is friendly and helpful. After years of back problems, I finally feel great. Highly recommended
