If I could give Spine & Sport PT 10 stars, I would! I came in with two bulging discs and was in so much pain that I was ready to have surgery. My doctor encouraged me to try PT first, and I was extremely skeptical. I honestly thought I was too far gone.
Then I met Tommy. He is amazing. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, and such a positive person. I never expected the results I got. I was able to graduate from PT pain free, and I’ve continued with my exercises and am still feeling great.
I also have to mention Lorena, who handles the phones and scheduling. She is an absolute gem and always so welcoming.
I’m incredibly grateful to the entire Spine & Sport PT team. They truly changed my experience with back pain, and I can’t recommend them enough.

I can't say enough good things about my time working with Tommy at Spine & Sport P/T. He was exceptional! He was very knowledgeable about my particular injury and worked with me to come up with the needed solutions. As a result, my recovery was pretty amazing - much faster than I would have predicted. I would recommend Tommy and Spine & Sport Physical Therapy to anyone who needs excellent results.

After more than six years of living with an injury that had largely gone untreated, finding Spine & Sport in Pasadena has genuinely been life-changing.
I arrived with very little direction, limited mobility, and not much hope beyond managing the pain with medication or eventually considering surgery. After 24 sessions, consistent work, and the guidance of this remarkable team, I have regained roughly 50% of my lost range of motion. That may be a number on paper, but in my life it represents something much bigger: hope and a path forward.
Tommy is at the helm of an exceptional team. His passion for helping his patients live with less pain and better understand their own bodies is immediately apparent. What makes him particularly special is that he doesn't simply treat an injury. He teaches you about it—how the different muscles, joints, movements, and seemingly small pieces work together, and what you can do to begin rebuilding yourself.
The exercises Tommy has given me are more than a list of things to do between appointments. They have become a textbook for understanding my own physiology and learning how to mend, strengthen, and rebuild my body. These are tools and habits I will carry with me for life. His manual therapy and cupping techniques can appear deceptively simple, but the skill and understanding behind them are remarkable. It is rare in any profession to encounter someone so dedicated to mastering his craft while remaining humble, compassionate, and genuinely invested in the people he serves.
Jaime is an incredibly skilled and detail-oriented trainer with a wonderful spirit. She truly sees the person she is working with, connects with you, pays attention to the details, and clearly loves what she does. It shows in every session.
Riley is a newer member of the team and has already become a great addition. She has a natural drive to keep you focused and on task, while also being a wonderful conversationalist. She brings another layer of positive energy to a place that already has a remarkable ability to make you feel hopeful.
And then there is Lorena in the front office, helping patients navigate the gauntlet that can come with Workers' Compensation, authorizations, scheduling, and everything else happening behind the scenes. Having someone kind, capable, and helpful on that side of your care makes an enormous difference.
Even the technology has been thoughtfully incorporated into the experience. The Limber Health app has been fantastic. I can keep my phone beside me while doing my exercises, quickly reference the clear photos and videos, check off each exercise, and move forward with my day. It removes friction and makes staying consistent much easier.
I have been to other orthopedic and rehabilitation facilities in Pasadena over the years, and my experience at Spine & Sport has been in an entirely different league. The facility is excellent, parking is easy, but what really distinguishes this place is the people.
There is an energy here that builds hope. When you have lived with pain and limited mobility for years, hope is not a small thing. Tommy and this team gave me knowledge, tools, accountability, encouragement, and a much clearer understanding of what my body is capable of doing.
The reviews that originally led me here did not lie. I am deeply grateful to Tommy, Lorena, Jaime, Riley, and the entire Spine & Sport Pasadena team. What you do matters, and it has made a profound difference in my life.

Spin and Sport was a great experience for me as a current professional football player. I tore my pec in a game and Tommy and the crew really helped me and set up a personal plan and routine for myself so that I can now always do these exercises at home and on my own. Highly recommend them if you need any Physical Therapy!

Dr. Jamie worked me hard, but smartly, not letting me increase too fast, and not letting me reinjure my leg and/or ankle. After I finished, my previously broken leg tested stronger than my uninjured leg! The entire staff at Spine & Sport were knowledgeable and patient. A great experience I'd recommend to anyone clumsy enough to break a leg while hiking!
