Welcome
Welcome to Lumin Physical Therapy, a premier physical therapy clinic located in Lake Forest, Orange County. We specialize in a variety of physical therapy techniques, including craniosacral therapy, to help you improve your overall health and wellness.
I came to Dr. Chow with two injuries that I sustained while working out. I had limited movement when I came to him as well as a lot of pain. Dr. Chow worked with me in each session to reassess where I was and to work in the most effective way. He not only helped me heal my injury properly, but also helped me correct my form and get stronger so that I can prevent any future injury. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a PT!

After sending many patients to see Dr. Chow, I decided to see him myself because of worsening knee pain that was keeping me up at night, and even making it hard to get up out of a chair.
After just a few sessions, the pain was gone; and within 8 weeks I could play with my granddaughter on the floor and get up easily! I can do yoga again, have re-started my work outs and am back to hiking, stronger than before and all without pain.
​
I am convinced that working with Dr. Chow saved me from knee surgery, and that physical therapy is the ultimate preventive care!

Testimonials
I am a physically active 71 year old male. I have had nerve pain in my legs for several years caused by severe spinal stenosis. Last year, I had back surgery (laminectomy and fusion), which made the nerve pain much worse and also left me with "foot drop," a partial paralysis of one foot. I received a referral to Dr. Chow.
He explained Cranio-Sacral Therapy ("CST"), and I must admit that I was skeptical at first. I am not a believer in alternative, holistic, or non-Western medicine. Frankly, I was shocked at how much pain relief I experienced. Dr. Chow spent a full hour with me, manipulating my muscles, joints, and connective tissue. He is somehow able to read my pain and to tailor his treatments to address my specific needs.
I began seeing Dr. Chow regularly, twice a week. In addition to the in-person therapy, he prescribed various home exercises aimed at improving function and treating pain. He explained that my foot drop was caused by surgical damage to the nerve root but that it would gradually heal with proper care.
He was absolutely right. Over time, I regained more and more function in my foot, and my nerve pain continued to get better and better. After several months of CSR therapy, I am back to hiking, camping, bike riding, and surfing.
To say that I am grateful is a gross understatement. Dr. Chow has given me back my life, and I have not felt this good in ten years.

My experience has been nothing but amazing. Dr. Calvin Chow has demonstrated a range of knowledge that extends well beyond physical therapy, as he also understands how to help relieve me of some ADHD symptoms and discomfort with cranial sacral therapy as well.
Calvin not only fixed my shoulder very quickly (despite my less than diligent practice of my assigned exercises), but he also understood what I needed each day and adjusted my treatment to include what would be best for me.
I have worked with multiple physical therapists throughout my time as an athlete, some with quite large facilities and companies. However, not one has provided anywhere near the personal care and in depth understanding of the human body as Calvin. He creates a very relaxing and comforting environment every time and I always looked forward to PT with him, which is not something I can say for anyone else.
Calvin is also not only extremely helpful, but also a great person to be around. I would strongly recommend working with him and I am confident that he is able to quickly heal whatever ailment you have while providing a positive environment simultaneously.
