i.Athlete exhibits genuine care and compassion for all its customers. They are not about the quick buck, but rather, building relationships. Good luck finding that elsewhere.

I am a combat veteran and have suffered for years on back issues and other issues as well. Working with Dr. Kim in three short weeks has been a miracle. His ability to pinpoint the issue to fix quickly with the proper rehab exercises for your specific pain or body pains is remarkable. I have suffered with back pain for a good part of 15 years. Diagnosed with degenerate disc disease and working with Dr. Kim has relived the pain to a point it's almost gone. A pain level of 10 down to a 2. Keep in mind this is in just three weeks and I am excited to see what else will happen working with him even longer. I implore you to choose Dr. Kim for all your rehab needs. I wish I would have found him 15 years ago!! More...

Dr. Noolee is a MUST SEE for any low back pain! I have seen multiple physical therapists, Chriopractor's, and doctors these last few years and Dr. Noolee is by far the best I've come across. Dr. Noolee is extremely passionate about what he does and it shows through his treatment and knowledge around body mechanics. I am so grateful for him and the service he provides. Thank you!!

Please please go visit this place if you're dealing with any injuries/rehab needs/general direction or guidance on anything relating to physical therapy! I've worked with and been to many physical therapists in my lifetime and my experience with Noolee is something I definitely want to share with the public. He not only knows his stuff but I really appreciated how he doesn't treat each case as a general diagnosis, but directs his knowledge and evaluation of each patient to implement the best treatment for that person that is very specific to his/her needs. For example, he will never give the same set of exercises to 2 patients just because they are both complaining of back pain! I had a serious ankle dislocation 3 years ago and with his help have returned to playing sports and regularly still go to him with all my aches and pains. Every visit he carefully considers all of the information before making a diagnosis, takes time to listen to my input, and communicates complex details to me in a way that I can understand and directs my rehab where I am motivated to get better because there's always room to improve my function and pain. Thankful for people like Noolee who love their job and do it well and this place is definitely the right step towards your healing and better quality of living! More...

Noolee is great! He truly cares about his clients and their progress. He helped me get rid of my headaches by finding the root cause of the issue instead of just trying to temporarily treat the symptoms. In my case, the cause was the last thing I would’ve thought of. I never would’ve figured it out myself! Noolee is a PT I trust and I will continue to go to him for future help. More...

I'm writing this review from the perspective of a parent that exhausted many efforts to help alleviate sports pain for my daughter. She's 16 years old and has played basketball for 11 of those years. She had constant knee discomfort which turned into constant pain.We saw a total of 7 doctors, 2 specialists, and about 9-10 different braces and sleeves.This probably sounds familiar for most of you and then my daughter met Dr. NooLee.He took an approach to her pain that was totally different in a positive way. His main concern was limiting her pain and as a parent that's always top priority for your child.Dr.NooLee not only helped her from a physical aspect but raised her self esteem from a mental aspect and gave her hope as previous efforts seemed hopeless. The different techniques and exercises he taught steadily improved pain management to pain free. Years of improper exercises, stretching techniques had to be undone and it has been an amazing journey that we are truly thankful for Dr.NooLee's support but most importantly his relentless pursuit to ensure our daughter can continue to enjoy the sport she loves without pain and discomfort. Thanks Doc you are truly a blessing and can't say enough about the passion you have about your craft. More...

As a fellow physical therapist, I highly recommend Dr. Noolee Kim and i.Athlete PT, not only did I improve as his patient, I learned so much to use in my own practice and with my patients. Receiving one on one care is priceless and I started seeing improvement within 1 session after having struggling with pain for almost 3 years. I would recommend i.Athlete to any friend or family member. More...

I am so grateful that I stumbled upon i.Athlete and met Noolee.For months, I was fighting pain in my right shoulder and right lower back and hip area. I just thought I was overworking those areas since I've been training in Muay Thai, but something just didn't feel right.After the gym one day, I drove past a large sign that said "i.Athlete PhysioTherapy" as if it was a sign from heaven. I gave i.Athlete a call, and left a message, not thinking I'd get a call back. Within 10 min, I got a call back from Noolee, and set up an appointment.Noolee assessed what was going on and was able to explain what was causing my issues. I am grateful that he does both muscle work and mobility. Noolee basically got out all my knots out through massage and cupping (Cupping is no joke!). Then he reinforced the muscle work by teaching me some exercises to strengthen targeted areas that were causing my pain. I knew I needed to continue working with him after the first session.Noolee didn't engage in any hard selling, and gave me the bottom line, which I appreciated! After 3 weeks working with Noolee, I'm feeling better than ever, my pain that I had gotten so used to is virtually gone, and I can train harder now.I am highly recommend him to everyone now.  You have pain in your body? I know a guy, he can help you out! More...

I really hope everyone will take the time to read this and give Noolee a try. All it will take is one session and you will understand. I hurt my back for the first time about 2 years ago and have injured it several times since then. I had gone to numerous doctors in different industries and always go to the same feel, they were the “only” person that could fix my issues and the only way to do that was with more treatments. I was basically told this would be a life long condition. After the most recent time I injured my back, I decided to give Noolee a try. I could barely bend over and touch my knees and I had been going to another doctor twice a week for the previous 2 months with no improvement. I literally thought I was never going to do anything athletic again. After my first session with Noolee I was shocked because he gave me a set of exercises to do at home, and said as long as I would faithfully do them, he wouldn’t need to see me for another 2 weeks. He told me his goal was to see me only when necessary, and to get me out as quickly as possible. For the first time in this industry, I felt like my doctor actually cared about fixing my injuries and getting me back into my old self.... not just how can they book their next session. It has now been 3 months since going to Noolee for the first time, and I would HIGHLY recommend him to everyone. I couldn’t step more than 10 inches at a time when I got to him, and now I have already been able to play volleyball for the last 2 Wednesday’s. More...

Dr. Noolee Kim extremely patient and takes the time to really listen to you prior to his full assessment of your condition. Dr. Kim is very thorough. He is friendly and explains what is causing the issues. Immediately after he had me do some strength workouts, my knee no longer felt as much pain. He is so knowledgable and I felt assured I was seeing the right person for my knee issues. What a difference! I'm so glad I went to see him. Now I'm more confident that I can go back to running again. I highly recommend anyone to see him for all physical therapy or even if you're unsure of your pain. I will be seeing him on a regular basis! More...

I have had back pain for many years and I finally decided that I really needed to do something about it. I knew I had to set up an appointment with Noolee. It is super convenient with the location being inside my gym.My first hour session with him, he assessed and evaluated me and took the time to listen to my history and current issues. He provided home exercises to help with my back pain.  The same night he emailed me the exercises and the amount of sets I had to do along with pictures, which was totally helpful!  I am very forgetful, so it was nice to have it in hand.  Within a week of doing the exercises, I felt a big difference and my back pain is diminishing.  He also likes to be updated and frequently emails his clients to see how they are doing.My second session with him, HE KICKED MY BUTT (in a good way). He gave me more different and challenging exercises to do. At the end of the session, my body felt great.  Again, he sent me the new exercises the same night.  Noolee also provides physiotherapy treatments and body care recovery treatment.  One session, he cupped my back. I felt like a completely new person. Noolee is very approachable and easy to talk to. You can tell that Noolee is very passionate about what he does.  He is always on top of everything.  He replies to his emails and direct messages on instagram very fast! I am incredibly happy with my physical therapy experiences with him.  I totally get what I pay for.  I highly recommend him to anyone! More...

I've had strange shoulder pain for years now and I couldn't find the cause. I went to Noolee to have myself checked and he was really accommodating. It is clearly obvious that he cares about his patients and he really wants to help people recover.Noolee explains everything well and he answers your questions with all honesty. He even encourages his patients to give him feedback even with no appointments scheduled. His passion and dedication to his work shows the first time you meet him.Noolee works with you one on one, unlike the typical rehab shops out there where they just quickly diagnose you and send you off to an assistant.While I haven't fully recovered yet, we have identified several imbalances and key points to strengthen and we are currently working on getting me back to 100%.Noolee isn't just a great doctor, overall, he is a great person. I would definitely recommend Noolee if you have anything bothering you physically! More...

Noolee first helped me after I had my first daughter. I had developed terrible wrist pain. It was so debilitating, that at one point, I couldn't pick up dishes (no complaints on handing off the dish washing duties to my husband haha! ). Noolee analyzed my symptoms and, after asking some questions and manipulating my wrist, diagnosed me with De Quervain's. He showed me exercises for my hand and wrist, gave me suggestions as to the type of wrist guard to get, and showed me how to correctly pick up my daughter. After some work, my pain finally went away! Noolee is now helping me with a persistent heel pain.What I appreciate most is how much Noolee believes in physical therapy in healing your pain. Bonus is that he not only has the determination but is also so knowledgeable! After working with Noolee, I know you can experience full recovery through physical therapy.As for my heels... I can tell you that when I do the exercises/stretches, that Noolee has taught me, my heels feel fantastic the following day. I am convinced that with time, and consistent exercising/stretching, my heels will be at 100%. Noolee will put you to work, but it'll all be worth it when you are pain free! More...

I hurt my back about 6 months ago and had been to many different doctors and treatments before finding Noolee. After about a month and a half with Noolee, I am super glad I made the decision to go to him. My back is feeling better than it has pretty much since I hurt it. Though I’m not quite back to 100% yet, I think by keeping on doing the routines he taught me, I can get there and also prevent it from happening again. But beyond that, the thing that most impressed me with Noolee is that I really feel like he cared about getting me better. Many times, I feel like doctors aren’t paying attention and their treatment feels like a one size fits all approach. Not so with Noolee. The best part of every session was at the beginning and end, he would go over how I felt and what my goals were. Every single time! There were times when I went on and on about how afraid I was that it wasn’t going to get better or I wasn’t sure what to do. He would walk me through the treatment plan he had and most importantly, HOW that treatment was supposed to make me better. A lot of times, a doctor will just tell me his treatment and shuffle me away. Or pass me off to assistants to do the rest. It’s always one on one time with Noolee, and that’s awesome. The exercise routines he gave me were brutal too. And the thing was - I had been given these routines from other doctors as well, but Noolee was very particular about them. He would constantly correct my form, telling me were to focus, what to move, what not to move. Where I should feel it, where I shouldn’t feel it. It made a world of difference - movements that I had done before suddenly become an intense workout after his corrections. I have never seen that kind of attention to detail of movements for physical therapy before! And it was very welcome. Every session with him felt like a hardcore workout and I would routinely leave sweating. His routines he told me to do at home were killer too - but they definitely helped!I am very thankful that I met Noolee. He is very honest (at one point, when I was trying everything and the kitchen sink to get better, he even suggested I stop seeing him for a while to see if what we were doing was working or if it was something else. That’s amazing!), very kind, and very good at what he does. He is just starting is practice out, and does not have a big office or anything (he works out of a room at a gym), but don’t let that put you off. He is one of the best medical practitioners I have ever been to. My back is about 90% better now and I am no longer in constant pain. I had stopped seeing my other treatments I had been doing because working with Noolee is what was the turning point in my recovery. If you are having issues, talk to him and see. I am sure he will be 100% honest with you on if he feels he is right for your treatment. The only thing is he does not accept insurance, though he does give you all the information you need to submit your own claim to your insurance company. This is hit and miss - I had no luck with my own insurance (Anthem Blue Cross), which does hurt the wallet a bit compared to a fully covered/in network place. But you can’t put a price on your health and I think if you can cover the cost, it is definitely worth it to give Noolee and iAthlete a visit. More...

Earlier this year, I decided to work out more regularly. I was a little over zealous and hurt my back in the process. Noolee was able to see right away that my core was not strong enough for the exercises I was doing. He showed me stretches and exercises to help my back and to help strengthen my core. Those stretches and exercises were tough but I was surprised at how quickly I began to see results and my back pain went away. Noolee was very professional and attentive. You can tell he is very passionate about helping people. I was very thankful for his help and would definitely recommend him to anyone. More...

Before seeing Noolee, I was experiencing pain from an acl surgery I underwent almost 6 months prior. I was extremely concerned considering my orthopedic doctor had given me a timeline of 6 months to return to full contact sports, with no pain. Noolee is incredibly knowledgeable regarding pain management and providing interventions for restoring optimal physical function. Moreover, he treats the whole patient, with seamless promotion of physical, mental, and emotional well-being. From answering (many, many) questions to prescribing different therapeutic exercises and stretches, Noolee does it all with a sort of patient/gentle professionalism that is both encouraging and reassuring. The quality care that he has provided and continues to provide has been indispensable on my road to recovery.Although it has been somewhat of a long, winding road, I am fully confident I will return to sports stronger than ever.

I injured my back about 6 months ago at the gym and had been to several doctors and chiropractors about it with some success, but was still suffering from some pretty noticeable pain daily. I went to Noolee after my orthopedic doctor suggested I try more traditional physical therapy (I had been doing some therapy at my chiropractor's office). I am always afraid when choosing medical practitioners because I never really know (barring some crazy mishap) if I chose right or not until I've sunken a ton of money and time into them - especially for something that takes a while like physical therapy. I found Noolee on Yelp and decided to give him a try because I was really looking for someone that seemed to cater toward getting people back into an active lifestyle and understands people that want that. I had gone from training almost daily with weights, martial arts, boxing, jogging, etc down to almost nothing with my back injury and was anxious to get back to it.After about a month and a half with Noolee, I am super glad I made the decision to go to him. My back is feeling better than it has pretty much since I hurt it.

I was suffering chronic back pain for several months and had seen a handful of chiropractors, acupuncturists and massage therapists with no luck. Most of the treatments I received were just temporary pain relief, until I went to see Dr. Noolee Kim, who completely relieved me of my back pain after a few physical therapy sessions. I was so desperate that we had our first session via FaceTime, when he identified where my pain was coming from and instructed me to do some basic exercises daily that would help with my pain. I followed his instructions and started doing the daily exercises three times a day, as I was told, and I was already feeling better by the third day. Noolee checked up on me a few times and I showed him how I was doing the exercises via FaceTime, until we had our in-person session the following week. By the time our session rolled around, I was feeling much better and making progress. Noolee did a very thorough evaluation during our physical therapy session and gave me a few more exercises to do, as well performed a few different methods of treatment that drastically relieved my pain, especially in my lower back. I am now free of my chronic back pain and know that I can easily go to Noolee if it ever comes back. He not only healed me but provided me with a lasting solution for preventive care (to continue with the daily exercises). Noolee truly cares about your pain and journey and will work with you in numerous ways. Love that he is also so accessible -- our first two sessions were via video conference in the late evening!

Following my car accident, I was under the care of chiropractic treatments, massage therapists and pain management care for about 4 months but none provided progressing relief to my ongoing pains. When I went to see Noolee of i.Athlete, I was at a point of despair. My pains had escalated to a point which required me to take prescription pain killers, oral steroids and muscle relaxants. I saw no hope of relief other than invasive steroids injections that my pain management doctor continue to recommend for me and of which I was reluctant to pursue.After a very thorough and caring consultation, Noolee gave me a few basic exercises to do daily. Although basic, I was barely able to complete the tasks with ease. He told me to do them for a week and throughout the week, he would check up on my progress and encouraged me to keep going despite its difficulties. With his help, I finally felt hope and I was off my medications within that first week. I am continuing to make progress. If you're looking for a PT who understands the correlation of the overall well-being of the physical linked with the mental and emotional, go see Noolee. He's not just a PT that you see at your appointments, rather, he's your partner on your road to recovery. More...
