Physical Therapists in Fountain Valley

“I am Japanese and I cut my Achilles within three weeks of arriving in the states. I was very anxious and worried about my recovery process, especially because of my English. But even though I can’t speak English at all, I knew immediately that Christine was a very kind person. Even though there was a language barrier between us, she guided me thoroughly through the rehabilitation and I can now jump and run. It was unfortunate I tore my Achilles, but in a way I’m very glad that it led me to Christine!“

“I had occasion to be a client here after an...unfortunate incident that's left me a gimp. Everyone here has been very, very friendly and helpful, even if I never got to swim with dolphins like I was hoping when I heard the name. The first time I came in, I had a consultation with Bruce, the manager/lead therapist/guy in charge in some form. He didn't talk down to me nor did he talk over my head, just a friendly guy laying out what they could do and what could happen. My insurance approved several visits and each time I would get one person to set up the heat pack, lead me through exercises safely, and finish up with an ice pack and electrical stimulation (sounds scary, but I swear it works). The only PT I remember by name is Stella, because she was just that cool, and remembered me out of all her clients. Near the end I was started on new exercises, and unfortunately they caused me to slide in the wrong direction, hurting more than they helped. They said not to do anything that hurt, that I couldn't handle, but I didn't realize how much it was hurting until after I stopped. I thought it was just my bum leg during the session but the pain lasted much longer and I stopped going altogether. I would absolutely go back (especially for the electrical stimulation, which I can't get at home unless I stick a fork in a socket and that might be a *leetle* too much) but at the first sign of trouble, speak up. They are there to help, and pushing yourself isn't always the right way. I was referred here through Talbert Medical Group. I do not know if or how they deal with anyone outside that group, or how much uninsured persons would pay. Luckily, I never had to find that out! P.S.: The parking here can be chaotic, as the teachers' credit union is practically next door and there's at least three restaurants all vying for parking space. I always made early appointments to avoid the lunch crush.“
