i.Athlete Physio - Performance Physical Therapy & Golf Fitness - Torrance, California

In April of 2023 I was recovering from a knee surgery after a skiing accident. I wasn't able to properly walk, put pressure on it or support myself.
After looking around for a good PT place, I was pointed in the direction of i.Athlete Physio, and was taken in by both Dr. Cooper and Dr. Young. We worked through the first central issues, worked on rebuilding strength in the knee, leg and back.
After I felt good with the knee, we moved on to work on overall better body composition. As I am writing this today, I feel the best I've ever felt, and know how I can properly move my body without having a single doubt it can do the things it's supposed to do.

Dr Young & Dr. Cooper have been miracle workers. Their care, banter and approach to Physical Therapy Is unique. It's tailored to me, and I consider this to be one of the highlights of my week.

After a severe ankle fracture and surgery, my orthopedic surgeon recommended physical therapy, and I was eager to get started. I initially visited a conventional PT clinic that helped me take my first steps toward recovery, but after five months of weekly sessions, I hit a wall. The therapists focused solely on my ankle, while I felt my entire leg—and body—needed strengthening to truly heal.
That’s when I discovered i.Athlete Physio, and it made a significant difference. From the moment I walked in for my initial evaluation, Dr. Cooper's expertise and holistic approach were evident. Unlike my previous experience, i.Athlete Physio considers the whole body rather than just the injured area. They took the time to understand my unique needs and goals.
I am very happy with my progress since working with i.Athlete Physio! Not only am I recovering from my ankle injury, but I'm also focusing on overall muscle conditioning and wellness. The team at i.Athlete Physio has helped me build strength throughout my entire body.
If you're looking for a place that genuinely cares about your recovery and well-being, I recommend checking out i.Athlete Physio. Their personalized approach has positively impacted my rehabilitation journey, helping me move from pain to a healthier and stronger quality of life.

I.Athlete Physio is a hidden gem! It’s a great, welcoming environment that makes you feel very comfortable when you’re there. I have been working with Noolee and Cooper and they are the most knowledgeable and passionate trainers I’ve ever met! They know their stuffs! They have been helping me get back into golf shape and in a short amount of time, I was able to feel my body getting stronger! They pinpoint your weaknesses and they work hard with you to get those muscles stronger so you swing faster with no pain! They definitely know how to kick your butts! I highly recommend I.Athlete Physio to everybody!

I came to i.athlete physio for chronic neck pain that was impacting my daily life, and I’m so glad I did. Noolee and Cooper were knowledgeable, fun to work with, and made each session challenging but productive. They explained exercises clearly, gave great feedback on my form, and answered all my questions so I could continue rehabbing between visits. After just three sessions, my pain had significantly improved. Highly recommend—thanks again, Noolee and Cooper!

My son is a junior golfer and has been working with Dr. Cooper Lee for over six months now and absolutely loves it. We initially saw Dr. Cooper because my son was starting to experience occasional back pain. Dr. Cooper addressed the back pain with targeted exercises to strengthen my son’s core and how to better align his body movements with his golf swing. We also realized that my son was not training and strengthening his core enough for the amount of golf he was playing. Working with Dr. Cooper, the training and exercise regimen has resulted in a more stable, athletic, and powerful golf swing. My son was fortunate to have found Dr. Cooper Lee and I Athlete Physio.

1000% THE BEST physical therapist you could ever go to. Everyone there is absolutely amazing! The way Dr Noolee works is unparalleled. He gets to the root of the problem and helps train you to heal your injury accordingly. I always look forward to my appointments and leave so grateful for the knowledge and exercises he gives me! I came in barley being able to take a step up the stairs without both my knees hurting, and within one to two weeks of following the regimen that I was given the pain went away and only comes back in certain instances- now I’m working on those instances! Best place!! I could not recommend anyone better to go to!

After being referred to i.Athlete Physio for acute elbow pain stemming from multiple hockey-related injuries to my thumb, wrist, and shoulder, I had high expectations, as both Dr. Noolee Kim and Dr. Cooper Lee came highly recommended—described to me as "wizards" of performance physical therapy. They did not disappoint.

From the very first intake session, I was impressed by their thoroughness and professionalism. They took the time to understand not only my specific injuries but also my broader physical goals. Their approach was not cookie-cutter; it was tailored, innovative, and comprehensive. Within fewer than 10 sessions, there was no more pain during sleep, and I had been able to resume high intensity interval training. I can play hockey without significant pain.

What truly sets Dr. Kim and Dr. Lee apart is their combination of technical knowledge and genuine care. They checked in via text throughout the week to monitor my progress, answer any questions, and provide encouragement. During sessions, they took considerable time to explain the mechanisms behind the treatments and exercises in a way that made sense to me, often connecting the explanations to my hockey background and other fitness activities.

Their personable demeanor and ability to communicate complex ideas in relatable terms made the entire process not only effective but also enjoyable. I felt supported, informed, and confident in their care every step of the way.

If you're an athlete or active individual seeking expert physical therapy, Dr. Noolee Kim and Dr. Cooper Lee at i.Athlete Physio are exceptional partners in recovery.
