See what the Santa Monica running community is saying
"Lauren, Jen (who we miss!), and Courtney are phenomenal. Unlike other PT places that feel like a chore, I actually look forward to my sessions here. If you need top-tier care, expertise, and a team that genuinely cares, this is the ONLY place to go!”
"I'm so glad I came here instead. The issue was muscular and Lyssa was able to diagnose it quickly and give me simple exercises to increase mobility, then to strengthen. Thanks for helping me stay on the court. I'd recommend to anyone."
"This place is amazing. They really do an excellent job of carefully and systematically loading injured tissues in a way that keeps you progressing without any setbacks. Athletic Lab’s approach has been so effective that I’ve continued to work with them to make my ankle bulletproof now that I now longer feel any pain."
"Athletic Lab's approach is thorough and tailored, and Kelsey’s guidance have made a big difference in my recovery. Thanks to them, I’m finally feeling like I’m on the road to full recovery!”
