TESTIMONIALS

What Our Patients Are Saying

Real stories from real patients who got back to living pain-free

"I've been dealing with chronic back and neck pain for the past 2 years with little to no relief. From my first evaluation with Matt, I knew I had found a place that got it. I've done 12 sessions so far and feel like I've made more progress in these 12 sessions than I have over the past 2 years."

Yelp Review, 3/28/25

"I came in with a back injury which left me unable to move for several days. I did 10 weeks of rehab with Hyena and I feel so much better. The pain is completely gone and I'm able to resume my normal activities again."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about physical therapy at Hyena Rehab

Do you accept insurance?

We're an out-of-network practice, so insurance companies don't dictate your care. We provide a Superbill you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement, and we accept HSA and FSA cards.

Do I need a doctor's referral?

No. California's Direct Access legislation allows you to see a physical therapist without a doctor's referral for up to 45 days or 12 visits, whichever comes first.

What conditions do you treat?

We treat neck and back pain, shoulder and arm pain, hip and pelvis pain, knee pain, foot and ankle pain, chronic pain syndromes, sports injuries, and return-to-sport and performance training.

What should I expect at my first visit?

Your first visit is a 55-minute, 1-on-1 evaluation with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. We'll normalize your range of motion and strength, analyze your entire kinetic chain to find the true source of your pain, and build a customized movement plan around it.

How is Hyena Rehab different from other PT clinics?

As an out-of-network practice, every session is a full 55 minutes with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, not an aide. We focus on finding the root cause of your pain through a full-body assessment rather than just treating the symptom.

Do you only treat injuries, or can you help with performance too?

Both. We help chronic pain sufferers get their life back and help athletes and active individuals move, train, and perform pain-free again.

What's included in the $75 evaluation?

A 55-minute, head-to-toe assessment with a Doctor of Physical Therapy plus a customized movement plan, 67% off the regular $225 rate.
