Hi, as you all know I have had spine/back/neck issues for many years, due to sever back injury sustained in 1994 in a car accident. I had had most treatments that was not or just minimally invasive. I also have had physical therapy in several facilities, whenever it fared and the insurance willing to pay for it. (Otherwise I have regular massage therapy at Massage Masters by a licensed physical therapist to help me just function). Some of you know that since this June, I have been in severe pain. After I saw my physician last month, we decided that since I am a coward and will not do anything invasive, we will have another round of physical therapy again. An acquaintance in my health club recommended an excellent physical therapy facility in my area, and it offered pool therapy as well. I decide to try it, well I have been going there for about 3-4 weeks 3x a week. I would highly recommend it to you if you need it, because the therapy and a noninvasive procedure has been instrumental of my pain feeling less pain.
Here are the reasons I would recommend it to you:
- There are two or three Doctors of physical therapy at the location each day. When you come in with your prescription from your own referring physician, one of the Doctors will evaluate you, and create a program for your individual needs. The hearsay is being administered by trained assistants, and over seen by the Doctors. Each session will include, besides the normal therapy, a hands on session with one of the doctors, who at that point will decide to add or alter your program for the next time as you progress in your recovery.
- The sessions are not limited to 30 or 45 minutes (as I am used to), my sessions have been 1-1/2 to 2 hours each day. Including, pool therapy, stretching, strengthening, electric stimulus, ultrasound and hands on massage with the doctors.
- They are very flexible and willing to work with you to accommodate your time.
- The assistants and Doctors give you personal attention all the time even when you are exercising and practicing your routine.

I am back to life again!!!"Victoria K from West Hollywood - Back 2 Health Aquatic CenterFeb 25, 2016"When I first met Dr. Canan at Back 2 Health. I was in a wheelchair. I had suffered a terrible fall. I was told by my surgeon it was a possibility of amputation. (Just to give you an idea of how bad the break was. My ankle was rebuilt) Dr. Canan is the body Whisperer. Through his friendly confidence I instantly trusted him. It wasn't long before I took my first steps and very quickly over the next month no longer needed the wheelchair or walker. Dr. Canan has a way of making you feel understood and yet pushes you to do better. I started looking forward to PT! I can walk forever thankful to Dr. C"GloZell G from West Hollywood - Back 2 Health Aquatic CenterFeb 05, 2016"It is a miracle I am alive and walking after a big accident in 2013 where I fractured my neck and others parts. This miracle has been materialized also because the physical therapy I am receiving at Back 2 Health in Encino. This is an amazing clinic, with a variety of aquatic, and land modalities with knowledgeable doctors and staff that really care. They have been instrumental for me to continue my recovery. I highly recommend this clinic the only place I have been where they treat your body as a whole and literally teach what steps to take in your daily life to continue healing."Ileana G from West Hollywood - Back 2 Health Aquatic CenterJan 22, 2016"Lee glover is a top notch physical therapist I would recommend him to anyone in my family or to anybody who is looking for one Lee and his team have gotten me to a point I never thought I would be again this facility is 10 out of 10 so for those of you who are looking for a physical therapist I highly recommend Corpus Christi physical therapy and sports medicine "Jesse F from West Hollywood - Back 2 Health Aquatic CenterNov 03, 2015"Dr. Canan Asher has an amazing understanding of how the body physically works and how to heal it when it doesn't. He has done amazing work helping me to recuperate from ankle surgery I had to repair several torn ligaments, so that I am now able to resume my normal physical activities, including racquetball. He goes way beyond the standard recuperation techniques, using devices such as rolling pins, constriction wraps and giant rubber bands to get the job done effectively! I highly recommend him to everyone I know that might benefit from his expertise in repairing and renewing the body."Dan S from West Hollywood - Back 2 Health Aquatic CenterJul 31, 2015"Why I am at PT? My condition is a life sentence without parole- ortho/neuro/muscular/degenerative processes.The program is NOT about time, in/out in 30 minutes, it's about the process. After assessment, the plan is warm up, stretching, strengthening, reassessment and mobilization, then table time with Dr Canan. Dr Canan has his own set tools and modalities. He thinks outside the box, beyond his classical training. With nearly 400 visits, I have witnessed amazing transformations in myself and especially others. The proof of this Dr's worth is in how long the effects of the work keep expanding."John R from West Hollywood - Back 2 Health Aquatic CenterJul 09, 2015"I WAS VERY LUCKY I CHOSE THIS FACILITY. DR CANON, AND DR PHIL HELPED ME TO GET FROM USING A CANE, TO WALKING FREELY, AND BACK TO MY ACTIVE LIFE. I HAD A HIGH GRADE TEAR IN MY HIP MUSCLE.. I AM NOW GOING ON MY BOAT FOR 3 MONTHS, THANKS TO THEM.. MY DOCTOR OF RHEUMATOLOGY WANTS ME TO CONTINUE MORE PHYSICAL THERAPY IN THE FALL WHEN I RETURN TO LOS ANGELES. IT IS MY SINCERE HOPE THAT THESE TWO AMAZING, CARING, AND HARD WORKING DOCTORS ARE HERE IN THE FALL, WHEN I RESUME MY PHYSICAL THERAPY."Chris C from West Hollywood - Back 2 Health Aquatic CenterJul 09, 2015"Starting a PT program at Back 2 Health was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Over the past 10 years I have actively sought and found my own methods for managing chronic pain, but it took only one PT session with Dr. Canan to feel a degree of relief I would have never even imagined. The relief remained long after that session, and with every following session my pain continues to decrease and my mobility continues to improve. The staff is warm, attentive, professional, and exceptionally well trained. Both Dr.Canan and Dr.Slava are deeply knowledgeable and highly effective. I love it!!"Alyssa M from West Hollywood - Back 2 Health Aquatic CenterJul 08, 2015"The words are futile to express my experience about this facility. Dr. Slava is the best Dr. of Physical Therapy I have ever known. His knowledge, his strength, and powerful persona makes him so fit for the position he has chosen. In my opinion he is a prime example of the positive difference that quality in physical therapy can make in a tough market. He is very passionate about the well being of his patients. The facility is immaculate, equipped with the latest machinery and above all his staff is caring, loving towards each patient. I feel they are my family."Parvin D from West Hollywood - Back 2 Health Aquatic CenterJul 08, 2015"This experience has been a complete game changer in my life. Dr. Canan is one of the best I have ever worked with and recommend him to everyone."Brigitte N from West Hollywood - Back 2 Health Aquatic CenterJul 02, 2015"My experience at Back 2 Health Physical Therapy in Encino has been one of the most positive healthcare experiences of my entire life! Dr. Canan, Dr. Slava and the staff at Back 2 Health are knowledgeable, compassionate and dedicated to helping their patients heal. After many years of chronic pain and dislocations I was diagnosed with a connective tissue disorder. Dr. Canan created exercises to stabilize my joints by strengthening the surrounding muscles. I will be forever grateful to the healing Back 2 Health has initiated in my life!"Kair C from Los Angeles/HollywoodJul 02, 2015"Dr Canan and the staff are amazing. The exercises for my injury have been effective in my on going healing process and easy enough for me to continue at home. Dr. Canan treats his staff respectfully, this is evident by the interns' and staff's attitude and care toward his patients. I am grateful not only for the therapy I am currently receiving but also for the education of physical therapy and for the exercises I am learning for continued physical health at home once therapy is completed here.
