Physical Therapists near Del Mar

“I was in PT for six months recovering from a spine injury resulting from a fall. I've been to a number of PT places over the years and SpineZone is the place to go for back issues. The therapists (mine was primarily Cole, although I also saw three others) are extremely professional, competent and friendly. They listen carefully to patients describing symptoms of pain, weakness, etc., and offer appropriate treatment, modifying exercises appropriately. Scheduling is easy and they're really good at dealing with medical offices for authorization requests. If you're suffering back pain, SpineZone can probably help you.“

“I had terrible neck and shoulder pain, I've been weight training for multiple years and Brazilian jiujitsu for a few years and I'm always in some sort of pain. To top it off I'm a personal trainer and still couldn't figure it out. I saw a chiropractor and it helped but not as much as what Naomi did. She took the time to assess the problem and get a proper diagnosis. Naomi pinpointed the problem to the upper back and scapular retraction. After the first session I was in immediate relief, and felt more upright with significantly less tension. I highly recommend to this to athletes and non athletes alike, her space has a full set up with access to workout equipment. Naomi confirmed the appointment the day of and before and I left there with a new understanding of how the body works, and it goes to show you that it's all about the basics.“

“I had been dealing with intolerable neck and shoulder pain for years. Dr. Chu has taught me how to strengthen while at the same time alleviating inflammation/ pain. Her dedication and knowledge have helped changed my life. The simple strength training and range of motion exercises are explained thoroughly, making it easy to do at home. I am much stronger, able to do more in my daily life activities, and continue to grow mind body soul thanks to Dr. Chu !“

“I cannot speak highly enough about the care I have recently received from Solana Beach Physical Therapy. Specifically, I have been working with Joanne, who is the owner of the business in addition to being a compassionate and highly effective clinician. I recently had a total knee replacement and had a very difficult time finding a therapist that my insurance would cover AND one who had the skills and compassion to facilitate my recovery. Within four days she improved my flexion from 83 degrees to over 120 degrees, which is the goal of treatment (!). She managed to achieve this through a combination of Eastern and Western techniques (e.g., cupping, e-stim, ultrasound etc). And what I really liked about her approach was that she met you where you are at, not following some tired agenda of a few exercises. Her treatment plan was new each and every session, tailored to your needs, progress, and pain threshold. She did a wonderful job explaining the various exercises and interventions, and was always very supportive and encouraging. From my perspective, she was simply godsend!!“

“Gino Cinqo has opened a completely life changing facility. I don't know where to begin but this is not your average physical therapy even though YES they accept insurance!!! TRULY transformative healing, generosity that is boundless, kindness at every level from front desk to management. I wish Gino could be in 20 places at once. also strongly recommend Jessica Wu.“

“I'd seen a variety of healers from chiropractic and sports masseuse to medical and orthopedic doctors. They could only tell me that my back or ankles were not aligned, but they couldn't tell me what was causing my pain or how to relieve it. Then I found Jera, and in the first consultation she identified the source of my problems and helped me! After the first appointment, I was amazed, and by the second appointment I was almost totally pain-free. Jera has a very positive, practical approach to healing and explains things in a way that makes sense. She provided me very simple exercises to help maintain my improvements, and I also found that I can use the exercises when my knee gets tweaked and I'm "restored" like magic! I went in to address a gradual decline that over the years started to affect my ability to exercise and finally even walk. I left able to walk, jump, run, and dance! What's more, the improvements have sustained...it's been 1.5 years since my last appointment and I haven't had any issues. However, I'd go back to Alternative Physical Therapy in a heartbeat if I have any problems in the future. I'd recommend Jera to anyone who is suffering or just wants to optimize their performance! She's very knowledgeable and takes the time to get to know you and how your body works.“

“Linda Anne is amazing. I was referred to her by Jaime Schwartz MD because she is so experienced, knowledgeable, and skilled -- and he was right. She has been treating me for close to two years. She is very warm, listens attentively, and cares a great deal about her clients. It is obvious that she is devoted to her profession, and to learning more about lipedema and lymphedema, because she is always excited to talk about what she just learned. She is eager to share her knowledge about nutrition and supplements for these conditions, which she obviously studies very carefully -- but only if you are interested in hearing about it. She is also a very knowledgeable, experienced aromatherapist. At my request, she has prepared a couple of essential oil mixtures for me (for sleep and migraine headaches) which have been very helpful - especially the one for sleep.

I was also extremely pleased with Shanaz, whom I have seen a few times. Aside from being such a competent lipedema massage therapist, she is a lovely, warm, soft-spoken person who immediately put me at ease during my first appointment. She seems to be very much attuned to what her clients need. Based on conversations I had with her during my treatments, she is also very knowledgeable, and is eager to learn more about lipedema so she can better serve her clients.

Yesterday, I saw Erika for the first time for an acupuncture treatment. I have had acupuncture treatments before, so I knew what to expect. Erika is also very warm and immediately put me at ease. It was obvious that she had thoroughly read my patient questionnaire before my visit because she was already prepared with a couple of options, based on what I wrote about being allergic to adhesive. Although I hadn't scheduled the visit to address my headaches, I had a headache when I arrived. She immediately agreed to include that treatment in my session, and also included some very effective hands-on massage on my neck and shoulders. No more headache! I have already scheduled my next visit with her.

I should add that all of the therapists who have treated me at this spa have been careful to give me what seem to be realistic descriptions of what I should expect to gain from the treatments. I truly appreciate that because I refuse to work with practitioners who try to lead me on with false promises.

The spa is located fifty miles from my home, but the commute is worth it. :)“

“CTS (Comprehensive Therapy Services) is very thorough in providing the best therapy services. As their patient, the past 24 years, they have been instrumental in my recoveries, from numerous surgeries , i.e. shoulder, knees, back, wrists etc. Their Owner, Cindy, ensures her staff are experienced/educated in their specific areas of therapy, professional and caring!“

“Posting as Anjela GauthierI’m visiting San Diego on an extended trip and injured my knee and was referred here to Coast Physical Therapy in La Jolla.Firstly Carmen and Massoud at front desk are very good people and always ready to do whatever I need- be it print outs or rescheduling appointments and always get back to a person very quickly.I love the jazz music in the background both lulling and motivating.Andy (the owner)seems really good at what he does and Ryan has become my usual (physical therapist-)I feel I’ve gone from having great difficulty in doing ordinary things like entering or exiting a low vehicle etc to being now completely pain free since starting physical therapy and working the exercises-Thanks!“
