WHY DR. ALEX CHAU
A fundamentally different approach.
If you’ve tried PT before and it didn’t stick, this is why. A premium 1-on-1 experience built for active adults: hands-on care, individualized programming, and the kind of clarity that creates lasting results.
1-on-1, always.
Every session is with Dr. Alex from start to finish — no aides, no handoffs, no diluted care.
- One client per session — no juggling multiple people at once.
- Direct treatment from a board-certified Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist.
- Real-time adjustments to keep you progressing every visit.
A clear plan from session one.
You know exactly where you are, where you're going, and why.
- Defined milestones so progress is measured, not guessed.
- A roadmap that adapts as you do — not a static template.
- Honest timelines so you can plan training, sport, and life.
Hands-on and movement-based.
Manual therapy combined with precise movement analysis, not just exercises on a sheet.
- Joint mobilization and soft tissue work when indicated.
- Comprehensive movement screen rooted in clinical reasoning.
- Treatment that responds to what your body shows that day.
Built for your life.
Programming designed around your sport, your goals, and your schedule.
- Sport-specific demands factored into every session.
- Home program that fits your week, not the other way around.
- Direct messaging access between sessions.
Long-term resilience.
The goal is not temporary relief. It is lasting strength, capacity, and confidence.
- Progressive load to rebuild real capacity, not just manage symptoms.
- Strategies to prevent the next flare-up before it starts.
- Confidence to push your training, not back off from it.

I started working with Alex after developing knee pain as a new runner. He identified the root cause during our first session and focused on helping me continue running safely rather than simply telling me to stop. He gave me targeted exercises, a structured weekly strength and mobility plan, and even created a running schedule around my goals. I’m now running pain-free, feel much more confident in my training, and am excited to keep progressing.View on Google

Had a torn meniscus. Debated surgery. So glad I went to PT instead. Strongly recommend Dr. Alex. He's fantastic! Kind, supportive and really cares about his patients.View on Google

I came to see Alex Chau and he was incredible. He helped identify and fix my middle back pain within my first session, and gave me a few drills to prevent my pain from happening again. I highly recommend coming here if you have any lingering issues!View on Google

My physical therapist Alex is legitimately the best PT I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot). He is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and checks in on me before, during and after our sessions. I could not recommend him or Myodetox highly enough.View on Google

I came to Myo West Hollywood after I reaggravated a lower back injury. Dr. Alex Chau helped me during the sessions by assessing my flexibility and working on building strength by assigning exercises to do at home. We also worked on improving my posture since my body was overcompensating due to the original injury. After being treated by Dr. Alex I'm feeling a lot better than when I initially came in to be treated, thank you!View on Google

Signed up with Myo to work through some plantar fascia I was dealing with from training for a marathon. I had the pleasure of working with Alex who guided me through the recovery process. He also helped me improve in other areas by creating a program I can use on days I didn’t have therapy. Really grateful for the support I received… 10/10 definitely recommend!View on Google
