Dr. Manuel B - Jonathan C

So I have been going to therapy for nearly 30 years due to a car accident back in 1994 where I tore everything in my left shoulder and cracked my chest bone. Went almost everyday for 2 1/2 years to many different locations out here in the Torrance/Redondo Beach area. While I lived in Lakewood my knee surgeon sent me to Medcessity and I completed my therapy and went back to work. Many years forward after a terrible spinal surgery they sent me to a great location a block away from my house. I wasn’t getting the stretch and time that I felt I needed. I requested to be transferred to Medcessity. It’s a 30-40 min drive and I usually do 4 hours a week for my hand and my shoulder/neck. This week I had one of the specialist drs conduct a test to check for Thorasic outlet syndrome and it hurt so bad. I am in constant pain so me saying it hurt means a lot. I have been taking my pain meds like M&ms normally 2x a day and after that test I have been taking every 5 hours. I was so excited to go to therapy today and my eyes leaked a little when I heard I was going to be seen by Courtney today. I knew I would be heading home with relief and properly stretched to the point I knew I would be able to sleep tonight. Don’t get me wrong they are all great therapists but Courtney and Emma are probably the newest and in my mind the best they take the time to ask how I am doing and what is going on with my neck and shoulder and take the time to switch up the therapy session and massage deep enough to where I can actually feel the relief and I always come home and knock out. I am in pain probably 98% of my day and with how I shake and how the meds slow me down I really appreciate that they take the time to listen to me and don’t just grab a roller and do the obligatory 3 minutes of therapy and then send me off to do my exercises…… that is not worth the drive to me. Not working and not recieving any kind of aide sometimes I can’t even afford food or gas but I will forgo buying groceries so that I can drive out to therapy. That is how much my time at Medcessity means to me. I’m pretty sure the owners and management will see this I sincerely hope they will share and give Courtney and Emma the proper praise that they deserve and so all they can to make sure these Rockstars stay at Medcessity. Sure that’s a little bit of my selfish side cause I want to get better and although I know there is no bell to ring I want to someday say I am healed and give everyone a hug and a high five and go back to living again. Omg I didn’t see that I could leave a review for the front desk also. Having said that I live in pain all day everyday and the medical system tends to cause frustration as drs just move you along and spend a few minutes not listening to you and then say okay see you in 4 months…. It’s always amazing to walk up to the door and open it and see the smiling faces at the front desk. It’s nice that even some of the physical therapy assistants rotate through the front desk but the core of Claudia Kat Silvia Maria …. Oooh pues sorry I can remember everyone else’s name right now I guess my meds are kicking in but trust me they all rock.

My Orthopaedic Surgeon recommended me and my husband for physical therapy at this place for our multiple problems in feet , ankle, legs, knees and shoulder. Therapist Joshua Siva was entrusted to deal with all our problems. Day one, when my husband came over here he was on a walker and now he is able to walk independently. It’s really a miracle. Now few problems left but I’m confident, that too will be overcome by Joshua. In the beginning my shoulder was frozen but now i am able to move it. These wonderful results are possible only due to sincere efforts of Joshua who has a strong passion to implement manual therapy techniques in conjunction with functional therapeutic exercises. We both have a deep appreciation for his skill and the sincerity, he has towards his duty. We wish Joshua Siva good luck and great success in his career.
