Fox Therapy Services's Online Review Report Card

I started seeing Mona for ongoing back and neck pain, and while I’m not completely pain‑free yet, I’ve noticed real improvement. She’s incredibly kind, personable, and easy to talk to, which made every session feel comfortable. I really appreciated how she listened and adjusted things based on how my body was responding that day. The exercises and hands‑on work were thoughtful and never rushed, and I always felt like she genuinely cared about helping me get better. I would highly recommend her!

Dr. Mona is very passionate about helping people and it shows! In the few sessions I have had with her, I am already feeling better. I have dealt with low back and some sciatica pain for the last 10 years. Even had surgery. She gets down to the cause and builds from there!

Mona is so knowledgeable. She offers consistent support, care, and patience--I felt at ease throughout the entire process. I highly recommend working with her!

I started having back pain while living in Hawaii and had sought physical therapy there, but their treatment plan did not address the root causes of where the pain came from. After moving to Thousand Oaks, I tried Kaiser Health physical therapists, but had similar issues. Mona was recommended to me, and after one session there was a clear difference. Her approach was a mix of massage, exercise, and strength building within the core and hips. She was the first to mention that my pain came from having weak lower abs and hips. She identified a beginner plan of massaging the legs and back, combining it with a few strength workouts focused on my legs and lower ab muscles. It made a massive difference after one session. I still see her on a weekly basis for treatment, which has drastically reduced my back pain. I recommend a session to test the waters as her approach uses a hands on approach to get an idea of where the pain might be emanating from. Thank you!

Very pleased with my visit! I was having issues with my lower back, but was feeling good by the end of my visit! Not just physically, but also feeling good about what's been causing my issues and helping me correct it. Mona was thorough and very helpful!

Mona is one of the best physical therapists I've ever been to - seriously - in my first session she explained a lifetime of injuries, and how they were impacting each other, better than any doctor I had seen before. Her expert explanation underscored the importance of my doing something about it so that I can live the rest of my life with better mobility and less pain. Having worked as an in-home care therapist, Mona has seen what happens when injuries and poor posture and bad habits go untreated; she is incredibly passionate about her patients' longevity and long-term happiness and health. For example, I came in for one reason, but as we've worked together, she is helping me to improve my posture which has been improving my quality of life in many ways I never even knew posture had been effecting. She is a very committed provider who has been invested in my own accountability and tried to make it easier for me to reach my goals. She is a physical therapist who believes and wishes that more people would go annually for a physical therapy checkup, much like you do with your doctor, because so many things can be prevented with easy interventions. I wish I had not put off going to physical therapy but I'm so glad I landed with Mona and I am glad I did not just settle and accept living with pain for the rest of my life.

I highly recommend Mona at Milk and Honey Physical Therapy. I saw her for my neck pain and within a couple of sessions, I was feeling much better. Mona is so knowledgeable about the body, is very compassionate, and makes you feel seen and heard. If you are dealing with any kind of aches and pains, give her a call!

I’ve had low grade low back pains for a long time - working long hours at a desk job for many years and haven’t maintained my muscle strength. After a night out of dancing, I woke up the next morning and couldn’t stand up straight. My low back was pulling painfully - standing was hard, getting to the floor was hard, sitting was painful - it was so awful. I felt pretty hopeless because my normal stretches and tools were not making me feel any better. I made an appointment with Dr Mona - she was professional and so knowledgeable. She worked on me manually first and I immediately started to feel the relief. The pull on my low back lessened and I was able to stand up straight again. Such a sense of relief. She educated me on what was going on with my muscles - showing me diagrams and pictures so I could understand which muscles were pulling on my low back and which muscles I needed to strengthen to get back to 100%. She also helped me change how I think about using my core in any activity. She then showed me the stretches, foam rolling techniques, and core building exercises I needed to do every day. She helped me write everything down too in a routine and in order so I could Implement at home. I walked into Dr Mona’s office feeling about a 20% and walked out of there feeling about 60%. Then after a week of doing the exercises 2 to 3x a day, I was feeling at 90%. In a follow up with Dr Mona, she added some more core building exercises. I’m now at 100% and honestly feel better than I have in a loooong time. I really appreciate Dr Mona’s thorough approach - her skill at manually stretching me, her eagerness to educate me, and to help me shift my understanding of how my body and core should function day to day. The experience has honestly improved my daily life significantly. I can’t recommend her PT services enough, especially for those of us that are learning firsthand how damaging sitting for long periods of time are!!!

Dr Shakibai is the best! I was having lower back pains and she helped me alleviate my pain and also took the time to understand why it was there in the first place and how we could work on making sure it doesn't come back. She takes on a super holistic approach and really cares about the well-being of her clients. I'm so grateful!

I had constant neck pain and headaches from bad habits working at my desk all day. I also had a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders from grinding my teeth at night. Dr. Shakibai came to my home and worked on my neck several times. She taught me correct posture and at-home exercises to build strength in the right areas. I have significantly less pain and headaches since working with her. She is extremely knowledgeable and hits at pain points by both treating pain and teaching preventative techniques. I would definitely recommend her services.
