"This is my second experience with Touch of Life Physical Therapy and my results are once again excellent. This second referral from my orthopedic surgeon is for shoulder pain (which has improved since starting treatment); however, the unexpected benefit was the elimination of the chronic pain in my neck and back. I have had this pain for over a year which until now has been a quality-of-life issue disrupting my sleep. Finally, my physical therapist David Fein, DPT helps his patients to recognize when muscle tension is building in various areas of the body and steps (simple exercises) one can take to reduce or relieve some of the muscle tension."

"Not many of us laymen can explain why or how Counter Strain and David Fein can help us heal, but they do! It seems that when one has sciatica, the only thing that is clear is that there is seldom a clear cause. So knowing this, David has begun the arduous task of finding and fixing the many different areas in my body that are not functioning like they should. Slowly but surely I’m starting to feel less and less pain. I would venture to say that there probably aren’t many physical ailments that a therapist trained in counter strain can’t correct. How did I discover Counter Strain? A friend in Chicago referred me, just like I’m doing for you now. Both my husband and myself travel 40 minutes to see David at A Touch Of Life every week. I’m so grateful to have found this therapy and David."

"I came across this place from their instagram account! I scheduled a massage because I had pain in some areas of my body. Since becoming a mom, I hold a lot of stress in my shoulders and lower back. I tried several different treatments and therapies. I found that the combination of massage therapy and fascial counterstrain Jazmin used really helped calm my nervous system. At the end, she poured me a hot cup of tea in my room which was a very nice surprise. It's conveniently located at the West Hills Medical Plaza on the first floor. I learned they also offer prenatal and post natal physical therapy for moms or moms to be! Definitely recommend you try this place out."

"I couldn’t be happier with the help and fortitude my dad is receiving at this wonderful physical therapy facility from the intake with Jazmin, our assigned physical therapist, Emily, and the help of James. This core team is helping my father with muscle strengthening, as well as isolating, specific muscles for his pelvic floor rehabilitation. All around a 5 out 5 star 🌟 team."

"Before seeing David, I was having debilitating migraines 3-5 times a week preventing me from doing any physical activity. I had a migraine going into my first session with David and not only did he relieve my migraine, but since seeing David weekly they have significantly reduced to 1-2 times a week. The Counterstrain technique David and Scott use is based on the premise that all the systems of the body are connected, and our bodies hold on to the stress and trauma we go through. David’s ability to listen to my body and see/feel what’s going on is what makes him and this technique so special. I can confidently say that the Counterstain and muscular education I’ve been getting from David has made me feel so much better physically and mentally, and I can’t recommend it enough."

"I had a bad sciatic pain and at the same time my right knee pain was unbearable, and 2 month ago my son who had a back problem and David helped him a lot , recommended me to go to Touch of Life physical therapy in Woodland Hills Since the first time that David Fein treated me , with the counterstrain therapy technique, I felt better. With each treatment I was better and better and today, 2 month later I’m almost pain free. Thank you so much David!"

"For any other moms out there looking for some postpartum PT, Emilee is the best. The front desk staff are also incredibly kind and understanding— they have all been so nice about me bringing my baby to appointments and rescheduling when conflicts arose on the home front. Highly recommend!"

"Scott is literally magic. I have suffered with a torn right rotator cuff for 20 years. Two surgeries and I still wasn’t where I wanted to b. In two sessions I felt better than I have in more than 20 years. Not only my shoulder, but my entire body and abdominal and digestive health all were improved dramatically. This is truly a life changer. Go now!!"

"David Fein is one of the most gifted manual therapists on Earth. But he doesn't stop there. Dave isn't just there to temporarily 'fix you,' and send you on your way. Be prepared-- because more often than not, he's going to send you home with homework. Very well thought out homework. The kind of homework that allows you to yield serious results for yourself between treatments. This is someone who genuinely cares about helping people become the healthiest and most functional version of themselves. A true treasure for all of Los Angeles."

"I really enjoyed my experience at Touch of Life PT in West Hills. David did a great job evaluating and treating my forearm pain. After one treatment my pain was significantly reduced and I was back to work quicker than expected. Their staff is awesome, I highly recommend!"

"I have been going to different Doctor's for pains in my head neck and shoulders. I went through many tests but without ant .clear answers and a lot of meds. Nothing really workedI have recommended. If you are for over a year. I have been working with David Fein for about 4 or 5 weeks I can honestly say this is The first week I am pain free. David takes the time to answer my questions,and I ask a lot of them. The pains were causing me a lot of anxiety. I feel I have found the answer to my problem. Also I do have to mention how wonderful the whole staff is."

"David is a miracle worker! Look no further and make an appt. There are many layers to healing and this is by far the most rewarding one I have experienced. I had been suffering in so much back and hip pain that my whole body was starting to seize up. Through Counterstrain, David found points within my body that helped to release the tension and pain. I am so grateful for his help and will continue to visit to keep my body in balance. "

"I have been seeing Scott Dreben for probably 6 years now. I manage some pretty serious chronic health issues and I have tried EVERY treatment and modality under the sun to experience symptom relief. Nothing has helped me more than Scott and Counterstrain has. It has been a lifesaver and keeps me functioning well enough so that I can continue rock climbing twice per week. I really appreciate Scott, Jana and Jasmin, everyone that works there is a beautiful soul and I’m eternally grateful for the work they all do and how they always come from the heart space. My dad has been seeing David for a while now and also receiving a lot of relief/benefit out of his treatments and postural exercises! I cannot recommend Touch of Life enough!! -With reverence, Dawn"

"After suffering from serious migraines for 7 years, I had tried every possible remedy I've heard. From prescription drugs to acupuncture therapy, I had given up all hope that my migraines could ever be cured. I was recommended to Scott by a friend who had been treated by him previously. Feeling optimistic, I decided to give the treatment a shot since I had no other hope and was dealing with 4-5 severe migraines a week. Scott worked on me for 3 hours, releasing pressure from veins and arteries I didn't even know existed. During the procedure, I had one of my regular muscle spasms in my lower intestines. After bringing up the searing pain to Scott, he immediately dealt with this problem by pin pointing a few points of tension. It was very obvious that he knew exactly what he was doing with regards to both the migraine and spasms. 3 months later, I've experienced only 1 headache of regular degree. It was easily cured by Tylenol/Advil and were nothing like my dreadful migraines. This headache was likely a result of me not getting enough water or sleep in my system. I wake up feeling great in the mornings now instead of waking up unable to go to school/work. My diet and sleep schedule have remained the same in the past 3 months and I haven't taken any medicine or other treatment since the 3 hour therapy session. Till this day my friends and family don't believe when I tell them my migraines have ceased. I hope they don't return for a while, but if they ever do begin again, at least I know exactly where to go for remedy. "

"What Scott did at my last visit with the arteries in my spine was incredible. I woke up this AM & got right out of bed. No Pain. After I got out, I realized how incredible this was. I had a massage today (get one once a month) & she said my back had never been so loose. She was amazed."

"I'm sure many people come to Touch of Life after they've been injured or for rehab purposes, but Scott Dreben is more than a therapist for your problems. He and his team are genuine healers who can curb your common aches and pains with a clear understanding of why/how you're feeling the way you do, along with techniques that are both relaxing and precise in locating the source of the pain. There's both the therapeutic side, as well as the prevention of further harm with the expert care you will receive. I highly recommend..."

"I came in to Touch of Life in terrible pain (I could barely walk!) bilateral sciatica, coccyx pain, neck/shoulder/arm pain, upper-right abdominal pain & the start of bowel incontience. I only had a short time in L.A. but using pelvic floor and strain counter-strain techniques, Christine alleviated all my ills by about 75%. Truly miracle work! I still have work to do, and Christine helped me find a therapist where I live. I am eternally grateful to Christine for her skill. kindness, open mindedness, good humor and knowledge!"

"Following a fall and having surgery to repair my right hip, my primary doctor recommended Touch of Life for their hands-on therapy and individualized rehab program. Michael Ahdout immediately assessed my situation and began a program to help with my healing and transitioning back to a normal life. Michael was very encouraging throughout my therapy while he applied his "magic". The staff is friendly, courteous and always made me feel welcome. This facility is the best!"

"Scott Dreben is a magician - 3 years ago my face was shattered in a horseback riding accident which resulted in multiple reconstructive surgeries and the loss of my left eye. One of my major issues post surgery was a painful lock jaw - thankfully I was sent to Scott! Not only did he unlock my jaw but he has since fixed my old ruptured shoulder, arthritic knee and back issues that come with being highly active into my 70s. I see him regularly - he puts me back together when I fall apart!! With Scott in my corner I might still make it to the olympics!"

"I was having a lot of trouble with my feet. The pain in my feet was so bad that I could hardly walk. Mike has worked wonders in helping my feet become flexible. He has taught me stretching and strengthening exercises for my feet and legs. I am able to walk again without pain. In addition to his expertise, the staff are all friendly, courteous, and professional."
