I started working with Dr. Rob after entering in retirement as a dancer. I had multiple old injuries that kept flaring up and I wanted to not be afraid of trying new movement. Dr. Rob has helped me to address these issues in a way that years of PT never did. He is knowledgeable, helping me pinpoint issues with movement patterns that were never caught before. I have been able to dance (without pain or fear of injury) and have been able to try new sports feeling strong.

I have worked with Rob and his team in different settings, including workshops for dance instructors and my own personal PT needs. All of them have been excellent educational and insightful experiences. As a teacher myself, I appreciate Rob creatively constructed exercises that are specific to dancers needs. He explains thoroughly what each exercise intention is and how to execute properly. He understands the level of control and movements that are needed for dancers. He also provides videos so it’s easy to recall the exercises after each session. He pays attention to details and gives constructive feedback during our sessions. His plans are clear and make good progressive sense. Not just repetitive but work up to my goals and needs. I highly recommend Rob and his team, especially if you are in dance/gymnastics or high intensity movements. I appreciate that we have professionals now that invest into dancers health and safety with training and scientific knowledge. No more just stretching and hope the pain will go away.

As an aspiring male ballet dancer who has faced several injuries prior to working with Dance Prehab, I can confidently say that working with Dr. Rob has been one of the best decisions for my health and future. Dr. Rob is truly the most gifted Physical Therapist I have worked with. He catered to each of my goals, which has ensured longevity and improvement in my technique. He helped me get through Nutcracker season injury free, while predominantly using virtual sessions. I live far from the Dance Prehab location so Dr. Rob offered me virtual sessions, which did not limit Dr. Rob’s effectiveness as a PT. He was able to adjust to my body, which cannot be said about other PT’s I have tried in the past. If you are a serious dancer looking to maintain, improve, and heal your facility with maximum effectiveness, Dance Prehab is the best option in the SoCal area.

Blown away by the thorough knowledge and tender level of care my daughter received at Dance prehab with Dr. Claire. The well crafted exercise routine that was perfectly tailored for my daughter’s injury helped her recover and gain strength very quickly! Dr. Claire’s knowledge of the dance world creates a strong understanding and connection to the dancer that helps diagnose and treat injuries precisely! So impressed and thankful that we have Dr. Claire to educate and support us throughout my daughter’s dance career. 10/10!!

My 12 y/o dancer came in with hip pain / weakness and worked with Claire for six weeks. We saw a vast improvement in her strength, and I really appreciated the way Claire worked with her to help her think about everything in terms of HOW her body works in dance, HOW to strengthen / protect her body outside of the studio, and WHY it’s important. As a formally trained dancer, Claire was able to relate to my daughter in ways that made her feel comfortable, and she was able to use her knowledge in real-world ways that she’ll be able to carry beyond her treatments.Would definitely recommend them to dancers with dance-related injury / pain.

I’ve really appreciated being able to receive individualized, quality treatment at Dance Prehab from Drs. Rob and Claire. They are up to date with the latest science and clinical practices. They have a clear focus on functional fitness (mobility and strength) and practice a holistic approach involving a combination of manual therapy and prescribing exercises.I always come out with a clear idea of next steps for injury recovery and management. Note that they will be out of network for all insurance plans, but the quality of care is worth it.

It was such a relief to find a physical therapist who understands my needs as an aerialist. I've worked with Dr. Malakhov on my hamstring injury and she has been so thorough, professional, and is incredibly knowledgeable. You can tell that she really cares about her patients and their outcomes. She also has a great bedside manner! I can't recommend her enough.

Phenomenal and experienced staff who listened to my needs and provided me with feedback, education, and effective care. Dr. Claire has a background as a ballet dancer and therefore understands the expectations dancers face in the midst of an injury/pain. She helped me get through a performance season after I hadn’t been able to dance/rehearse for 6 weeks. Also VERY friendly and kind! I always enjoy my appointments, and get the medical care that I need.
