I'm a runner and overall a very active, outdoorsy person. I struggled with pain in my right hip for years that got worse when I ran longer distances. I tried a lot of different stretching, massage, yoga...all good things, but didn't get rid of my hip pain that then led to other issues on my left side as I tried to compensate! Dr. Kim treated my hip pain and taught me new techniques I can do myself at home that I'd never even heard of before. I haven't experienced that hip pain for several years now.
She also helped alleviate painful period cramps that I had to take a lot of ibuprofen for every month to be able to sleep or function.
She's not only a doctor, but a teacher of things about fascia and your body mechanics that you never knew! Learning, and of course most importantly practicing 😉 what she teaches you, is life-changing. Highly recommend if you want to restore and/or continue mobility and ease with your active lifestyle! Thank you, Dr. Kim!

I used to suffer from episodic back spasms and lower back pain. Back in 2015, before a trip to Japan, I was concerned that the long flight would trigger a back spasm episode and would prevent me from enjoying my time there. I had my first consultation and session with Dr Kim a couple of weeks before my flight and it was life changing. She taught me the basics of rolling and how to treat and prevent lower back pain and spasms. She also pointed me to her YouTube videos. I promptly bought my first foam roller from Amazon and took it on my long trip. I had a great time and no back issues! I continue to practice the exercises on a regular basis and I always travel with my roller! Moreover, I haven’t had any more back issues since then! Thank you, Dr Kim!

Dr. Kim is THE VERY BEST when it comes to pain management (among other specialties too), and her knowledge and insight with how she approaches pain management is so impressive because her techniques are realistic, straightforward, and, they work!

I experienced major, chronic hip and back pain at the age of 45, and, as a gym owner, I thought my body was "wearing out" way too soon--after all, I'd worked (physically) hard all my life to avoid this very occurrence. Dr. Kim was able to quickly assess my issues and immediately knew how to fix them. She truly is the "Body Whisperer."

I SO appreciate her academic ability to simply look at my body mechanics (for example, my posture or I stand up/sit down) and then instantly show me how to change those actions to lessen the pain I was having. Furthermore, her demonstrations of how to "treat" my issues are easy to understand, to follow and to implement.

I lock my knees when I stand was affecting so many other parts in my body. Additionally, I wasn't even standing up or sitting down correctly and she adjusted that on me as well--and now I teach all my clients to do the same! She recommended myofascial release for my hip pain and it worked instantly.

Dr. Kim even came to my Neurofitness class (it's an exercise class for people with Parkinson's) and helped many of my members with their back pain. She did this as a volunteer—did it to help some marginalized members of our community who needed it. And she does this a lot--she wouldn't brag about this, so I'm doing it here for her—she is incredibly generous with her time and energy. Camarillo is lucky to have her as a progressive leader in its medical community.

Dr. Kim listens to you; she's not trying to rush you—she truly cares and wants to help. On top of this, she knows her nutrition too! The beauty of Dr. Kim's practice is that she's not pushing pills on you. There are so many problems our human bodies have because we have been taught that a pill will fix what ails us when the reality of it is if we only paid better attention to our bodies and "honored" them with simple adjustments (including our diets!).

I was told by other doctors that I would need hip and back surgery for my pain, but when I met Dr. Kim, not only did I not require surgery, she also taught me how to fix the pain myself . . . and I have been pain-free for 10 years now in my hips and back solely because of her. No pills or surgery necessary. She can even cure your vertigo if you have it—she has a 100% success rate with that!

If you have pain, Dr. Kim is whom you should call!

Dr. Kim is ahead of the curve in her understanding of human biomechanics and the effects of imbalanced posture and restrictive fascia on a whole host of physical challenges, which are often treated in isolation as if the rest of the body doesn't exist, or affect the treatment area.
Her broad spectrum approach to overall wellness is so worth the investment. Thank you for the time you take with each patient, and the depth of your knowledge, Dr. Kim!

I walked into Dr Kim’s office in October of 2022 in excruciating 8/10 pain, and left an hour later in 2/10 pain — no drugs, no invasive treatments. Prior to my visit with her I was advised by a top gynecologist that I would need to undergo multiple surgeries to treat my horrific pelvic pain. I had been bedridden and on painkillers for months, my suffering was so immense.

Dr Kim single-handedly gave me my quality of life back and saved me from surgery. She supported me through my full recovery, I now live pain free because of her. If you struggle with endometriosis, PCOS, painful periods or any other generalized pain in your body, this is the doctor for you. ❤️

I’ve been coming here for over 4 years and Dr.Kim has helped me immensely with my very heavy and painful periods. My posture has greatly improved as well as my over extended knees were causing pain throughout my lower back, legs, and feet. Super happy with the results over many years!

Dr. Kim is amazing! Since I have been working with her, I have had no back pain flare ups. She is teaching me about my body and how to best keep it strong and flexible. Very grateful!
