"Dr Carr has the magic touch! She’s helped me deal with excruciating back pain off and on for a few years now. I love her gentle therapy technique and thoughtful exercise regimen that has helped me heal and strengthen my back over time. Plus, she’s so nice and easy to talk to. Highly recommend!"

"Working with Erin is magical. I'm not sure how to explain it, but she's tapping into something deep. The work was profound for me. She is working on a practical level, but also, something below the surface that is not used to be connected to or seen."

"I am SO grateful for my regular sessions with Dr Carr. She has helped me profoundly with multiple health challenges ranging from head concussion and uncovering effects of a car accident through out my body, neck and back pain, and even the health of internal organs. She is an extraordinary and sensitive Therapist. "Beyond Physical Therapy" says it all! I am 72 years old and hypersensitive. I trust her knowing touch ... which is the highest compliment I can give anyone!"

"Dr. Carr is the best physical therapist and all-around healer I've ever worked with. Her myofacial release techniques have helped me accelerate my injury recovery time and I've been finally able to rebuild strength because of her help! Highly recommend!"

"Dr. Carr is the first practitioner I have found in approaching 2 years (since the day I broke my sacrum and starting developing SI joint instability and S1 nerve issues travelling throughout the right leg) who has understood the origin and connectedness of my symptoms, listened to my journey and what I have learned, and guided me in my steps towards recovery (connecting me with an affiliate doctor along the way). I saw 5 other PTs and 6-7 other doctors prior to her: she is by far and away in a league of her own. Her knowledge of the body-- nervous system, joints, tendons, muscles, and most importantly the relationships between them --far exceeds anyone I have worked with. I have dedicated and designed my life around getting back to normal life and the distance running! love, and only since working with Dr. Carr have I felt I have a true professional guiding me at every step. I am SO grateful to have found her!"

"Dr. Carr truly goes above and beyond as a PT with unsurpassed breadth and depth of knowledge, compassion and responsiveness. I have a complex lifelong orthopedic history and she has helped me through multiple joint issues, including extreme knee instability and most recently, a hip replacement. Her skill and experience in a range of modalities is a big part of why I'm as mobile as I am today."

"Dr. Carr has been an integral part of my recovery from hip replacement and an acute rupture of my left tensor fascia lata tendon. She has created a peaceful and calming environment for her patients where her masterful touch on my Injuries have helped me overcome back and hip pain while she makes my hip stronger with strength exercises. Erin is extremely knowledgeable and knows exactly how to provide relief and strength. I highly recommend her for your physical therapy. You will find relief and get back on track with her help."

"Dr. Carr, who was referred to me by my trusted Functional Medicine Doctor, is absolutely amazing and the best in the biz. She is a highly skilled and profoundly talented integrative physical therapist whose breadth of experience and innate sensitivity give her a unique and powerful ability to support her patients' healing. I worked with Dr. Carr for 5 months and she was instrumental in my rehabilitation - she combined hands-on physical therapy with various exercises, and I would often notice significant improvements after just a single session with Dr. Carr. Dr. Carr’s relationship with her patients is high-touch - she is always available to answer questions and address concerns, even in between scheduled appointments. I am ever grateful to Dr. Carr for playing a critical role in my recovery and regularly refer her to my loved ones without hesitation. Andrew J."

"Dr. Carr is a caring, knowledgeable physical therapist who really personalizes her care to figure out exactly what you need. I improved greatly through her office visits and by following the exercise recommendations she made for me to do at home."

"Erin is by far the most skilled PT I've ever worked with across multiple states. She is an integral part of my medical team and I'm so grateful to her! She's definitely worth the money. She is not the fast food PT at the franchise places. Erin has an extremely highly developed skill set, similar to a world-renowned surgeon in my book. She is a doctor of physical therapy who completely understands how the human body works. She can help rehabilitate your body after athletic stress, accidents like a fall, and even a stroke. On top of all that she has highly specialized and difficult to find training from the Barral Institute. That means she knows how to do visceral manipulation to help unstick internal organs and valves that are spasming in your gut, as well as other magical things that I don't fully understand but miss every day I'm not in LA to have her work on me. On top of all that Erin listens to me and cares about me as a human being. Thanks for all you do and all you are Erin!"

"Words can't fully express how grateful I am to Dr. Carr and all of her expertise and care. I have been struggling with chronic low back pain, SI joint dysfunction, and a myriad of other nerve and pelvic pain for about 10 years. I've gone to dozens of PTs and doctors, and have basically been met with 'nothing is really wrong' and 'let's just stretch, roll it out, and do some clams.' Needless to say, the pain never subsided and ended up getting worse. Dr. Carr TRULY changed my life. I was barely able to sit, stand or walk very far, and could hardly keep up with basic daily activities. Dr. Carr is extremely knowledgeable, holistic, and caring. Her technique is gentle but exactly what the body needs. She took the time to work with me each week (and it was a whole hour with just her!) to get me out of the chronic pain loop. She was able to tell me exactly what was actually going on, and connect it to other issues I'd been having, and give me advice to my overall physical and mental health. When it seemed like my body was plateauing, she referred me to a doctor who was able to give me PRP injections to progress my healing. She has a team, she knows her field, she keeps learning. More than that, she cares. I was hardly listened to in other PT offices, let alone believed. Dr. Carr is friendly and will talk you through the entire process. I cannot recommend Dr. Carr enough. If you've struggled to find someone who can actually help you, go see Dr. Carr. If you are dealing with chronic pain, or even a new pain, don't waste more time and go see Dr. Carr. It does take time. And healing is not a linear journey. But I am here almost two years later and living life. Stick with her. She is truly incredible."

"My elderly father absolutely loves going to see Dr. Carr for PT. He wants to be able to jog again one day. Her establishment provides a peaceful atmosphere that enables healing. Dr. Carr is very personal. Top notch!"

"This is the first review I’ve ever written and I’m doing it because Dr. Erin Carr is absolutely amazing. Five stars aren't enough. She is extremely knowledge about the human body and thinks about your treatment holistically - how one part of the body is connected to other parts of the body in ways you would never think of. Through that perspective you are able to heal on another level. She answers your questions and you learn so much in the process. She is extremely smart and kind and honestly if the entire world was full of people like her there would be very few people struggling long term and so many potential issues would be caught before they happen. In addition she manages her practice extremely efficiently. I’m so grateful to have found and been treated by Dr. Carr. She is truly a gem in this world - her brilliance intellectually and through the quality of her physical treatment is a life long gift for healing."

"Initially one of the foremost aspects of my hiring Dr Carr was that she was in SANTA MONICA which was important to me as I wanted someone close to my home. Due to an unexplained "spinal event" I have been wearing AFO's and using canes for almost 15 years. Almost every PT I have worked with seemed to feel limited by my "lack of an accurate diagnosis""BUT NOT Dr Carr!! Dr Carr not only uses "traditional" physical therapy techniques, her "visceral" approach is unique and she is an expert. She is a consummate professional with a heart and I HIGHLY recommend her."

"Erin Carr is easily the best physical therapist I have ever worked with, and one who I credit with helping me through recovery from a series of lower back injuries -- as well as other chronic issues that I thought would never be resolved. I immediately felt at ease with Dr. Carr, as she asked thorough questions, did a full assessment of my spine and other pain points. Over the next few months, she did a combination of manual manipulation -- along with giving me exercises -- that have helped me out of the acute injury phase, and have helped ease pain that I had assumed I'd just have to live with. I have never worked with a practitioner who really understands how the human body fits together -- approaching things holistically -- nor one that has taken my pain seriously. More than that, she is an incredibly thoughtful and perceptive practitioner. Treatment is always gentle, and always mindful of mobility and pain level. She also consistently figures out where pain is coming from, on a structural level, and is able to explain what is going on, in a very understandable way. I cannot recommend Dr. Carr highly enough."

"Dr. Carr has played an integral role in helping me heal from long-COVID. When I began seeing her I was suffering from fatigue, headaches and GI challenges. While I was pinged from specialist to specialist to determine a diagnosis, Dr. Carr focused on healing and wellness. Through a combination of physical therapy and a vitamin regime that she tailored to complement my doctors’ orders, after a month or two I completely eliminated fatigue and chronic headaches, and significantly reduced the inflammation in my gut."

"I have been to many physical therapists and doctors for my lower back and joint pain. No one had been able to provide relief until I met Dr. Carr. She has an intuitive, gentle touch and a reassuring manner that makes me know I'm in good hands. Her integrative approach is the exact remedy for me. I really appreciate how carefully she instructs me with my at-home exercises. Her office has a calm, soothing atmosphere that's conducive to healing. A not-so-small bonus: She offers free parking behind her office for her patients. I highly recommend Dr. Carr. She's a gem!"

"Dr Carr is a true healer. She is highly knowledgeable, professional and kind. Work from home has been hard on my neck and caused my hands to go cold and numb at times. I came in with cold hands, unable to type for long periods of time. Initially, I thought it was carpal tunnel, but Dr Carr told me it was coming from my neck. After a few sessions, I was able to regain my strength. Now I feel so much better. Her office is clean and tranquil. She gives you exercises to do at home. I feel relaxed when I come in for treatment. Thank you, Dr Carr for healing me."

"Dr Carr is incredible! She has helped me immensely with my chronic health problems. I highly recommend her services for anyone suffering with chronic illness/autoimmune disease - she is able to get to the root of your issues and uses a very gentle, unique technique that is great for sensitive individuals. I'm now able to walk pain free with her help! Thank you Dr Carr!"

"I fractured my pelvis and was in excruciating pain and could barely move. In home PT with Dr. Carr changed all that. She is kind, gentle and so knowledgeable. I am now walking without a problem and will always be grateful for her care and warm personality. Plus, my 2 dogs and cat loved her! Thank you, Dr. Carr!"

"My 91-year-old father had a heart attack, spent three weeks in ICU, and came home to hospice care. After a few weeks it became clear that he was actually getting better, and was in fact interested in trying to up and around. Dr Carr was pricier than the other PTs we looked into, but she seemed best suited for the job. Her weekly sessions with my father showed results right away. She knows her work top to bottom, has a great manner, knew exactly when and how hard to push. Furthermore, she kept the family up to date with an email after each session. My father is now out of hospice care, moving around the house with the aid of a walker, and much of that is thanks to Dr Carr. Highest rating."

"Dr Carr has helped me immensely with my wrist injury. I have been going to Dr Carr for about a month and a half for a wrist sprain and cyst injury. She has not only helped me with recovering from wrist treatments but has gotten my strength in my wrist almost back to where it was before injury. In fact, I’m confident that once I’m done with her wrist exercise regimen it will be stronger than ever before. She is also quick to reply to messages, which is a huge bonus."

"I injured my lower back during a stretch exercise - typical disc bulge. Ouch! I found Dr. Erin Carr online, read the reviews, and was convinced she could help. Erin's patient, thoughtful, well-planned approach not only restored my back, very early on she gave me the confidence to trust myself and ultimately re-trust my back to perform the exercises needed to restore my health! I cannot recommend Erin highly enough."

"Dr Carr was highly recommended from friends who were treated for post knee surgery rehab and shoulder issues. I had shoulder pain relating to climbing and Dr Carr has been fantastic with in person PT work and prescribing specific exercises to do at home. I have had extensive PT over the years for various injuries and Dr Carr is among the best. She is very experienced, knowledgeable, patient and communicates promptly whether scheduling or answering questions about various exercises over email. Thank you Dr Carr!"

"I can’t recommend Dr. Carr highly enough. She helped me recover from a painful back injury in a very short amount of time. Not only was her hands-on physical therapy incredibly helpful, but she also gave me exercises to do on my own to keep the injury healing between appointments. She is not only a wonderfully knowledgeable doctor, but a very kind and empathetic person too. During my initial call with her I was in a great deal of pain, and she was incredibly thoughtful –taking the extra to give me great advice in the interim before I was able to come in to see her. I’m so grateful to have her on my team."

"Dr. Carr is the best. She listens--to my body and to what I say. She's gentle and kind, and she gets results. I've improved immeasurably from my sessions with her and by doing the exercises she's recommended. I wouldn't go to anyone else."

"SO HAPPY I went to Dr. Carr for my post-ACL recon. rehab. She is extremely knowledgeable and personable. Anyone who has had this surgery knows recovery is just as much a mental hurdle as a physical one. Dr. Carr was so attentive and helped me in all areas to recover. She tailored the rehab specifically for me and knew when to push me and when to hold back. I would recommend her to anyone whether coming off of a big surgery, injury or just to help with pain, she is the BEST!"

"Dr Carr is warm, caring and extremely gifted in her work, I always feel 💯 better when I leave her office!!"

"Erin is not your run of mill physical therapist. She has an uncanny ability to see underlying issues that many PT's I've worked with would completely overlook. I'm a Pilates instructor and if any of my clients have a troublesome shoulder or a painful hip, she is the first person I tell them to see- and all of them have found her remarkably helpful, including the most challenging cases. I myself sometimes struggle with neck and shoulder pain from my physical job and after each session with her I notice a major change. Try her out, you won't regret it."

"Everytime I go to Dr. Carr I find that she is excellent at diagnosing what needs to be worked on and I always feel better afterwards. I like her methods of therapy very much."

"Dr. Erin Carr is absolutely amazing!!! I have had a history of inflammation, digestive issues, eczema, and food allergies. She helped me change my diet, improve all of my health concerns (and then some), as well as address general body maintenance. As an athlete and professional musician, I appreciate her knowledge in both areas. She is also on staff at the Colburn School, a music conservatory in downtown Los Angeles, so she spends time each week working with very elite artists. I cannot recommend Dr. Carr enough! Make sure to commit a few weeks to Erin and her great therapy before making any decisions for yourself. You will see and feel the amazing results. :)"

"I have been seeing Dr. Carr for some time now and she has helped me immensely when others were not able to -- I have lived with chronic back and neck pain for years (as well as some other related health issues) and I always feel improvement after she treats me. She works wonders for my nervous system as well. She has also referred me to doctors and other medical professionals who have been able to reduce my pain and inflammation. A side benefit is that she is a wonderful human being so you will look forward to your visits."

"Still mid-treatment, but I've already noticed an immediate improvement in my neck and shoulder pain. She's very willing to explain what she's doing, has never done anything to cause any pain, and is extremely responsive to all my questions between sessions. I don't know if my pain will ever fully go away, but she's definitely gotten it to be far more manageable than it's been in a long time, and for that I'm extremely grateful."

"I went to see Dr. Carr becasue I had sciatica pain to my left leg. I liked her approach: she is very attentive in listening to symptoms, very delicate in treating the affected areas and insightful. I went back to see her for other problems: stiffneck and a regular tension i have on my neck and on facial muscles. She cares about me, she is very knowledgeable and not only I feel better pshycally after seeing her but her technique relaxes me a lot. It is effective also on my nervous system. Her studio is very cozy, super quiet and spotless. I am very grateful to have found her."

"Dr. Carr is incredible! Her treatments have helped me so much, I've learned how to care for my health better, and it's always a pleasure to spend an hour with her!"

"Dr. Carr is exceptionally knowledgeable, attentive, and personable. Having grown up in competitive surfing - I've seen handfuls of doctors, therapists, and practitioners over the past ten years until finally finding Dr. Carr. She is a game changer."

"The first time I saw Dr. Carr was for a shoulder problem with which other physical therapists and doctors were not able to help. The combination of treatments and exercises (unlike exercises that other therapists gave me to do) has made a BIG difference in the level and frequency of pain. Since then I've worked with her on other problems and have had great success. She also has good relationships with doctors and helps with communication with them. I can't speak highly enough of her work."

"I started seeing Dr. Erin Carr for physical therapy in 2012 at her Santa Monica office. She definitely helped me recover from my injuries and I only go back for tune-up treatments when my alignment is off. Dr. Carr is very professional, personable, gives discounts to regular patients and is a certified Doctor of Osteopathy.  I find it really convenient that I can schedule appointments via email or text.  Her technique is great re: physical therapy based in Osteopathy.  There aren't that many practitioners of Osteopathy in Santa Monica -- I tried contacting a different doctor, but wasn't pleased for various reasons so I'm glad I eventually found Dr. Erin Carr -- I definitely recommend her."
