You don't have to suffer from pain anymore
Musculoskeletal pain is common - but not normal - and not something you have to live with. It can make us feel frustrated, helpless, irritable or afraid. We end up suffering with symptoms for days, weeks, months, or even years, giving up things we love, taking medications or getting injections to mask symptoms or undergoing unnecessary surgeries that don't fix the problem.
​
And many medical providers don't seem to really understand or have answers!​ Or maybe you've been told to 'just deal with it' - even though that's not validating your experience and doesn't ever resolve the underlying 'why'!
Let us help you find relief again
Dr. Mona specializes in pain relief.
​
We don't want just temporary relief of symptoms, we help resolve the underlying 'why' so they don't return. We've helped thousands of patients from the Conejo Valley and surrounding areas.
At Milk + Honey you'll get care in a compassionate, calm setting. We'd love to help you find lasting relief!

​
Do you have post-surgical issues preventing you from feeling 100%?
​
So many people post-op have orthopedic complications like low back pain, weakness, decreased range of motion, asymmetries, pain with exercise, scar tissue, or just having a hard time getting back to their favorite activities.
​
​

​
​
Do you struggle with joint pain or muscle weakness and are not sure where to turn?
​
Musculoskeletal health is integral in resolving issues like compensatory motion, muscle tightness, feeling weak or fatigued, or limited flexibility. We can help you resolve these as well as functional mobility.
​
​
​
Are you dealing with low back, hip or knee pain and struggling to find the right care?

"Mona is one of the best physical therapists I've ever been to - seriously - in my first session she explained a lifetime of injuries, and how they were impacting each other, better than any doctor I had seen before. Her expert explanation underscored the importance of my doing something about it so that I can live the rest of my life with better mobility and less pain."
What People Are Saying About Their Care...
Improving my Quality of Life
"I came in for one reason, but as we've worked together, she is helping me to improve my posture which has been improving my quality of life in many ways I never even knew posture had been effecting. She is a very committed provider who has been invested in my own accountability and tried to make it easier for me to reach my goals. She is a physical therapist who believes and wishes that more people would go annually for a physical therapy checkup, much like you do with your doctor, because so many things can be prevented with easy interventions. I wish I had not put off going to physical therapy but I'm so glad I landed with Mona and I am glad I did not just settle and accept living with pain for the rest of my life."
Knowledgable and Compassionate
"I highly recommend Mona at Milk and Honey Physical Therapy. I saw her for my neck pain and within a couple of sessions, I was feeling much better. Mona is so knowledgeable about the body, is very compassionate, and makes you feel seen and heard. If you are dealing with any kind of aches and pains, give her a call!"
Holistic Approach
"Dr Shakibai is the best! I was having lower back pains and she helped me alleviate my pain and also took the time to understand why it was there in the first place and how we could work on making sure it doesn't come back. She takes on a super holistic approach and really cares about the well-being of her clients. I'm so grateful!"

Frequently Asked Questions
​
What makes Milk + Honey different?​
At Milk + Honey we specialize in orthopedic physical therapy. We work with you not only to alleviate symptoms but also "find the why" for true, lasting relief. We spend a full 50 minutes with each of our patients, hands-on and one-on-one to provide the level of care we would want for our own friends and family.​
​​
​
​
What is my first appointment like?
You'll be welcomed by your therapist as soon as you arrive and you'll head into a private treatment room with your physical therapist. You'll be able to share your story, symptoms and goals without feeling rushed.
You'll get a thorough, head-to-toe evaluation. You'll get treatment on the first day, and you'll leave with an 'Action Plan' for going forward for how to meet your goals.
​​
​
​
I've been to PT before, can you still help?
Absolutely! Many patients have been to other facilities. We have a unique treatment approach - it will be a very different experience than another facility.
​
​
Do I need a prescription from my physician?
No, you can just schedule your evaluation! We will send information over to your physician so they are aware we are working with you, but you don't have to jump through hoops to get started.​
​​​
​
​
Will I see an aide or student during my session?
Absolutely not! You'll work 1 : 1 with a dedicated expert the time entire you're at Milk + Honey. That's the gold standard of care
