Physical Therapists near La Mesa

“I went to La Mesa Rehab, after not being able to get knee rehabilitation soon enough through Veterans Administration. My overall experience was positive, Doctor Peavy and her staff got me back to 100% within a short period. I want to especially recognize Lukas, who's attention to details, always caught my slight miscues in exercises and showed me the correct ways. I am now back to hiking and walking the golf course, pain free! John Baldwin“

“Over the last two or three months I have had therapy with Rachel Labasan PT, DPT to correct problems related to arthritis. Her work is exceptional--both professionally and personally. She is well trained, varied in her approach, encouraging, and thoughtful. I recommend her and Select Physical therapy highly.“

“The studio is very nice and in a great location. Everyone was very friendly and Dr. Rodney Alford was fantastic- very helpful and knowledgeable. Looking forward to the next session.“

“I absolutely love it here! I have had numerous problems with my left leg and I have seen three different PTs. Rehab United was the only place to make me feel less pain and is helping me understand my body positioning more to help alleviate further pain. Oriana and Whitney have done amazing work helping me with strengthening and healing my pelvic floor. Highly recommend this place! Everyone is very friendly and the front desk has great customer service. This is by far one of the best physical therapy I have ever been to and I have been to quite a few.“

“Let me start off with saying that the reason for my visits were because of a worker's comp injury. Long story short, I sprained my ankle pretty bad. Growing up, I have had previous ankle injuries before, but this time around, I couldn't walk. The inflammation alone was so bad that a boot couldn't properly fit on my foot without there being pain. Thankfully, I was able to take time off and I was able to slowly progress into full duty work. The doctor treating me put in a referral for physicaly therapy shortly after my first visit because he said that takes time for the service to be approved. For me, it took about a month. My first appointment was scheduled for me, but I was called to confirm a week in advance, and I was even offered an early appointment, if I wanted. I obviously took it, and when I went to the office, I was greeted with a smile and a good morning. My physical therapist was Dr. Brent Petre. He was very pleasant. He knew how to make conversation, and he was very clear, and obviously super knowledgeable, about what he noticed and any questions I had regarding the injury and how that impacted other parts of my body. On a expertise level, I appreciated the muscle connections that were made and the manner in which they were explained. On a customer service level, I appreciated that Dr. Brent would ask about my day, and that he would remember things that I told him during our small talk. Being a local, he had suggestions and opinions regarding topics we discussed, and it was cool to hear him talk about his own experiences of things he and his family enjoy. That being said, some sessions, I was tired and I didn't want to talk because it was early, and that silence was respected. It was never awkward, and I never felt uncomfortable, which is a big deal. During my first session, I did some basic movements so that we could get a baseline of where I was. After the assessment was completed, Dr. Brent explained to me what he saw using simple words. I'm not sure if that was intentional, but as someone who works in social work and has to engage with multiple populations and ages, I really appreciated that consideration of patients. There is an ease that comes with simplicity, and not everyone knows the formal language or has an extensive knowledge of the body. I somewhat understand the terminology because I have some background in sports and injuries, but that's not everyone's experience. When someone is hurt and is new to seeing a medical professional whose specialty is the body, it's nice when there's a clear explination of what's going on. It's nice when the words that are used to make sense of the injury aren't complicated. I never felt like I was being looked down upon or that I was being judged for getting hurt, and I felt like I was listened to when I pointed out where and how I felt pain. Each session I had was an hour long. The start of each session was a massage. After that, different exercises were explained and modeled to me. Corrections during the exercises were made as needed, and the weight being lifted was adjusted when it was appropriate. I was shown different exercises that I could do at home, and was given a band to take home to use between sessions. At the end, I was able to get my foot iced for 10-15 minutes. Scheduling out all my approved appointments was super easy, and because of the large availability of this location, I had options regarding when I could go that aligned with my job. There's also parking outside the building that is accessible to the public. I do wish that I could have continued to get physical therapy because it is extemely helpful to have someone guide and explain to you what can be done to improve overall mobility and flexibility. I am sad that I never had the opportunity to do physical therapy before, but I am glad that my first experience was positive. If you have the opportunity to choose a location for physical therapy, I would recommend here. The team is very kind and they seem to care about the patients th“

“My sciatica got worse and worse over seven months, in spite of trying numerous therapies. Then I discovered Rehab Renegade. I followed Michael’s advice, including the strategies from the free online courses. My pain gradually decreased and two months later I was pain free. Thank you, Michael! I am very grateful for your help.Gabriella“

“I went to Therapy Specialists for a very swollen sore knee. I twisted it in February, it felt better after awhile. But after my workouts (in August) it flared up again, making it hard to walk or ride my bike! I'm an active 61 year old woman and pride myself on the fact that I literally feel like I'm 12 years old when I work out. So when my knee went out...it was serious. I wrote my doctor, and he just suggested maybe draining it. I went to Therapy Specialists in Chula Vista, and after only about 4-5 visits I feel like myself again! Austin gave me some exercises to strengthen my hip and knee muscles. I was also told to stop putting pressure on it, i.e. jumping jacks and running. Now, I just have to do my part, but fell almost 100% in a very short time.“
