Physical Therapy near National City

“8/13/25 First time coming today and it was overall amazing and a breath of fresh air. Before I came to the sweet water location I was being seen by a rude doctor (not from akeso) who would cut me off while explaining symptoms, not listen or respond to them, and rushed my visit so I was really nervous / afraid to be seen by a new doctor. Dr Gray and her new trainee were so amazing and compassionate. They listened very well. Dr Gray checked my body and explained everything so thoroughly. I started to cry because I haven't had such amazing care before. They made me feel heard and gave me the emotional understanding I really needed. Dr Gray really gave me hope and made me feel more confident in my recovery. The front desk ladies (forgot their names) were awesome and helpful. Cesar the Physical therapist seems like a great human and I look forward to my first PT session. Thank you for being wonderful human beings! It's very needed in this world.

8/25 EDIT: I had my first Physical Therapy appointment with Mandy! Mandy was extremely professional, caring, educational, and very fun to talk to. I felt very comfortable. Mandy assessed my condition thoroughly and educated me on everything. Honestly one of the best physical therapy sessions I ever had.I have more hope about my healing. I look forward to my follow up appointments! I highly recommend Mandy & Akeso on Sweetwater Road to everyone.“

“Dr. P and his staff are absolutely amazing!!! I recently suffered back pain and shoulder pain and was fortunate enough to find Dr. P who put me back together like new. Dr. P was kind, knowledgeable, experienced and made me feel completely comfortable. He was patience with all my questions , from start to finish.I felt very well cared for during painful and challenging time. A true professional. Highly recommended. Thank you so much Auto Injury Treatment and Center & Family Chiropractic.“

“Awesome place to go to. Nice equipment. Staff that cares. Very very clean.
Massage and acupuncture is a must. Works every time.
I will not be going any where else. That’s for sure.“

“If I could give Davon more than 5 stars I would! He is knowledgeable, patient, encouraging and so personable. Not only did he help me on my road to recovery after a total hip replacement, he made it almost fun!! I looked forward to his visits and have missed working with him since I've finished my physical therapy.

My progress working with him surprised me. With his help I was able to do things I was sure I couldn't do yet. He made me want to try harder!

Thank you Davon. You're the best !!“

“Extremely amazing practice. I had two injuries and they helped me recover them both. I had some hip issues for a few months, after a month or so of PT I felt comfortable to go back on my long hikes. I also had a lot of shoulder pain and they helped me strengthen and understand how to engage my shoulders better. The PT environment is extraordinarily welcoming and fun. I am always excited to come in!“

“Look no further! Catalyst is where you want to be for top notch PT and holistic offerings. I especially recommend Katherine Devos at their Mission Valley location. Katherine is attentive, super insightful, and builds a custom treatment plan to fit your recovery goals. Katherine treats her patients as individuals with unique needs. I'm finally making some progress on chronic pain. She's the best!!“

“I would recommend Sports Performance Physical Therapy to anyone who is serious about rehabbing an injury. I worked with Dr. Brandon after getting stem cells for my lower back and the results I've experienced have been remarkable. I started PT about two weeks after getting the stem cells. I stuck with the protocol and about 6 weeks later started noticing major improvements. I live very far from San Diego so had to do the sessions via Zoom, which wasn't ideal, but we made it work. Dr. Brandon was awesome. He was very knowledgable, remembered what we worked on in previous sessions, asked the right questions, and made adjustments that worked. He also designed and updated a custom program, which I followed on my own. I was able to do an in-person session during a trip to San Diego, which was great. My overall experience with Sports Performance and their team was excellent. Hopefully I won't need to go back, but if I do, I wouldn't think twice.“

“Update.. I had a flare up in September and it incapacitated me again. Went to go see Dr. Spence and his team and they got me walking in two days this time! Getting better after every visit! Still getting treatment but they are miracle workers! Best staff in the word! If I could give a 100 stars I would! They focus on taking care of people truly!“

“Owner was hands on. Great care. Very good follow up! Bottom line I received the pt I needed and am back up n running“

“Amazing session, Annika was great! Super effective, communicative when checking pain levels, warm vibes when I walked in, good music, and feel great after. Will definitely be back.“

“I have both spinal stenosis and a hip replacement. (thank you UCSD) Carrie gave me simple yet powerful exercises to improve my posture and strengthen the muscles required. I have never regularly done exercises before.The exercises have limited my pain and given me back the ability to walk 2-3 miles a day. This program is really training for an active lifetime. I highly recommend it.“

“I personally was afraid to go to the chiropractor. I was especially afraid to get my neck adjusted. But t feel so comfortable here. I look forward to going. My body is feeling better in areas that I didn’t even know we’re hurting The facility is clean and everyone there is very warm and friendly I highly recommend Element Wellness Center“

“Kind of like this…except with you…like as a person…
Mark, Alyson and Sarah and the primary people worked with and they told that their philosophy is what is bc called total patient care and…yeah basically like the sketches…nuk nuk nuk…“

“Pedro had been working with my son, Austin (11), for over a year, and we couldn’t have been happier with the impact he had. Austin played both flag football and tennis, and Pedro did an outstanding job preparing him to compete at a high level in both sports. Pedro focused on building a strong foundation through proper technique, movement patterns, and athletic education, ensuring Austin learned how to train safely and correctly from a young age. He always emphasized progress over perfection, which was incredibly motivating and confidence-building. Pedro’s positive attitude, deep knowledge of sports science—especially the latest research in youth athletic development—and his ability to explain things in a way kids understood helped Austin become a healthier, stronger, and happier athlete.
Most importantly, Pedro has a fantastic demeanor with kids: they genuinely like him, respect him, and listen to him. Even though we've moved away from San Diego, Pedro went out of his way to research other options to support Austin's continued athletic development. He's a great person and an exceptional trainer. Highly recommend!“

“Great place! Very nice staff. Luis and John are great experts at what they do. Highly recommend“

“From the moment they introduced themselves to me, they, very convincingly, left me with no doubt that their soul purpose is to make me whole again.“

“Was working with Charlie after I broke my leg. He not only helped me feel better each visit, but he gave me tools to continue to improve after my visits. I would highly recommend. Every single time I went, every person there was absolutely wonderful and kind.“

“The water therapy has been surprisingly helpful in strengthening my si joints. My persistent chronic pain in my lower back has subsided.“

“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 did my post-op ACL PT at Rehab United and I’m very glad I did. I worked with Chris, who was honestly awesome to work with. He’s very knowledgeable, attentive, and patient, and answered more questions than anyone reasonably deserves. As a casual CrossFitter, it was really nice to have a PT who understood my type of training and could tailor my exercises to be more specific to what I wanted to get back to. He did a great job of challenging me while also holding me back when needed to protect me from myself.

The aides and the rest of the staff were also incredible — always friendly, helpful, and contributing to the overall good vibe in the clinic. Chris, along with the entire KM staff, created a really warm, positive, and genuinely fun environment, which made the whole process feel way less miserable than expected.“

“I've been getting PT at this clinic for about a month. I am very happy with the customer service and level of care here. They are timely, attentive, caring and positive. Well stocked facility and it's centrally located/easy to get to and park. Highly recommended.“

“Great place and great staff if you’re looking for a physical therapy this is the place to be. Knowledgeable staff one on one sessions with the understanding of what you need to get back to your everyday life again. Let them know what you need and just be truthful so they know what they need to do for you.“

“Timely appointments, ultra clean facility, knowledgeable therapists, I can personally vouch 100% for Paula’s diagnostic and therapeutic skills. Do not hesitate to get your physical therapy here at the Coronado site, I have no experience with the other sites.“

“Hello! I’d like to leave a review for katelyn Williams, she has been my sons OT for over a year and is absolutely incredible! We love her so much! Zander has made incredible progress along with his speech therapist Clair. We are so grateful for them both! Thank you!!“

“The team at Thrive is fantastic. Amazing physical therapists that treat you like family.“

“The Select PT Team is awesome. My PT Rachel is the best. Very patient, professional and helped me see results. I am better than I was before I started. Mallory is also awesome. The front staff remembered me by name, set my appointments and made me feel welcome. Thank you!“
