Featured treatment

Shockwave Therapy (SWT)

Shockwave therapy uses focused acoustic sound waves, delivered through the skin with a handheld device, to address pain in muscles, tendons and joints.

At KOH Physical Therapy Lab it is one part of a physical therapy plan, usually combined with hands-on care and exercise. We use a PiezoWave² focused shockwave unit at our Irvine clinic; Long Beach clients who may benefit are referred to Irvine.

May be used for

  • Tendon pain, such as tennis elbow or Achilles tendinopathy
  • Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
  • Calcific tendonitis of the shoulder
  • Stubborn overuse and sports injuries

    Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy for people who experience dizziness, vertigo or balance problems. It uses targeted exercise and balance training to help you feel steadier in daily life.

How care works

Hands-on care, then movement that lasts

Your first visit starts with an evaluation. Your therapist then chooses from these hands-on methods and pairs them with functional movement you continue at home.

  • I've dealt with a lot of physical therapists in my career as a professional athlete, but Dr. Koh is the very best. Whenever I have a serious issue I immediately go to him because he is by far the most successful at treating my injuries. Twice he has healed my injuries last minute when I thought no one could so that I was able to continue competing in tournaments. That's not counting all the time he has helped me with the numerous nagging injuries that go along with being a pro athlete!
