Dr. Allen Letgolts, DPT

Physical Therapist
11740 San Vicente Blvd, Ste 206, Los Angeles, CA
I never planned to be a physical therapist but it’s in the science and art of this vital therapy that I discovered my life’s calling. I grew up in Ukraine, part of the former Soviet Union. In high school, I excelled in physics and mathematics, using athletics as a break from the rigors of Soviet schooling. When I graduated and entered a university, studying engineering was a natural choice. My family immigrated to the United States in 1979, first to New York and then to Los Angeles, where I studied a dynamic new field that combined applied mathematics and computer science at UCLA. I naturally gravitated to physical activities, finding that Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and dance, balanced my academic life. After school I designed 3D brain imaging software for UCLA’s Department of Neurology. I loved the intellectual challenges, but I missed being involved with humans. I wanted to help people through personal interaction. Coincidently, at that time I was in a motorcycle accident and had to receive physical therapy treatment for my injuries. That is when I discovered my true calling. I became fascinated by the mechanics of the human body and learned that I could help those who needed relief using my skills and knowledge. I returned to school to fulfill the academic prerequisites for a physical therapy graduate degree, and was accepted to USC’s Doctorate of Physical Therapy program. I was lucky. The program was the first on the West Coast to offer a Clinical Doctorate. With a doctorate in hand, I established Letgolts Method Physical Therapy practice. Because of my extensive education in the body’s systems, as well as my cross-disciplinary studies, I was able to develop the Letgolts Method, which is based on cause, not just symptoms. Treating pain without knowing the reason doesn’t solve problems long term.
