“Before being treated by Dr. Ngo, I had been experiencing hip and knee discomfort that resulted in having a limp in my walk. I experienced knee “locks” 5-7 times a day that made me ashamed of having to stop in the middle of my outings to be able to deal with the discomfort there and then. I had also stopped all physical activities because they would result in sharp and aching pain within my hips, until I decided to see Val. Val performed an assessment on me and was able to detect the causes of my discomforts. During my visit, she made sure to communicate all the steps she was performing and why they were part of my assessment. Val not only provided me with a home exercise program, she made sure to model all exercises and communicate how they would benefit me. After performing the treatment plan, my peers and family members notice the limp in my walk disappearing. Without the treatment from Dr. Ngo I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy my physical activities that I enjoyed doing, such as running and hiking.”

"I worked with Val for several sessions on my rib, elbow, and knee injuries. During this month of treatment, I performed curated physical therapy exercises in between the in-person sessions that we had. With Val, I was able to experience a reduction in pain for all of these injuries and noticed better range of motion with more stability. I was able to return to BJJ steadily while also being careful not to cause an increase in pain. Val helped me get back to competition shape and because of her depth of knowledge and professionalism, I would recommend her for sports related injuries as well as post surgery rehabilitation."

"I have had countless physical therapists over the years and Val is hands down the best!
I was in a terrible car accident at 19 years old, broke seven vertebrae, and had massive muscle damage. Physical therapy was always helpful, but Val took it to a whole new level. She was actually able to visibly straighten my back by about 50%. She also brought my pain level down from constant to seldom pain. Areas that were ‘frozen’ can now move. These improvements are nothing short of a miracle. I am 76 now and she has given me a new life! I’m spry and vibrant. I can’t rave enough about her care and skill.
She is head and shoulders (no pun intended) the best!"

“I saw Val for my patellar tendinitis. During my first session with Val for an evaluation, she asked me what I wanted to achieve since I work out regularly. I told her I wanted to become stronger, more flexible, and have better mobility. This personalized approach immediately stood out to me and set the tone for the rest of the sessions.
Now, having completed the sessions, I can confidently say that my experience with Val has been incredibly positive. Val’s expertise and dedication to my progress were evident from the very beginning. Not only did she possess a deep understanding of my condition, but she also tailored each session to address my specific needs and challenges.
Throughout the sessions, Val’s guidance and support were invaluable. She patiently explained each exercise and its purpose, ensuring that I not only performed them correctly but also understood their impact on my recovery. This not only boosted my confidence but also kept me motivated to consistently engage in the exercises between sessions.
What truly set Val apart was her ability to create a comfortable and encouraging environment. Her positive attitude and genuine interest in my progress made the sessions not only productive but also enjoyable.”

“I fell a few months ago and damaged my rotator cuff. The good news was I didn’t need surgery. But I was instructed to see a physical therapist and I was fortunate to meet Valentine (Val) Ngo.
Val asked about my goals (to play golf again), organized a treatment plan consisting of twice weekly, one-hour sessions, and targeted specific exercises to help me achieve my goal. Each session consisted of manual therapy and exercises. The plan was designed to gradually improve my shoulder mobility and muscular strength.
During the time I was in PT, I saw great improvement in shoulder mobility and muscular strength and began playing golf again without pain. In addition, she helped me construct an ongoing exercise plan that I can do at home to ensure the improvements continue.
Val was always very professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. She was sensitive to any physical issues I had prior to the session and used our meeting to address them. If I ever need physical therapy again, I would definitely work with Val again.”

“Dr. Val is an amazing physical therapist and friend. I tore my ACL, and she designed a comprehensive recovery plan that took into consideration my sport, my athletic level and my overall goals for a timeline to be back to 100%. I’ve been able to return to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I don’t have to think about my knee anymore. I would recommend her for not only injury recovery, but for general injury prevention and sport-specific maintenance.”
