I have been coming here for months and now I'm finally over it. Appointments are hard to schedule…read moreso you have to schedule 2 months ahead to be safe (no online scheduling, phone only), and now they've started canceling my appointments 2-3 days out with almost no options for alternative appointments given how jam packed they try to make the schedule. Mostly DIY reception with iPads and a kiosk that is clearly an offsite answering service, therapists will be juggling 2-3 patients at a time with interns filling in the gaps, etc-- the whole operation reeks of massive cost cutting for profit. Going to look for better service providers elsewhere

ASIS (RB location) has been a total game changer in my case and I can't recommend them enough. I've…read moremade more progress working with Dr. "D" Catron and all the professional, dedicated PT Techs (especially Annika, whom I've been working with the most) in the last year than the previous 6yrs of conservative pain management (i.e. incompetent pain docs, epidural steroid injections, pain meds, numerous feeble PT attempts with mediocre PTs at substandard PT clinics, etc.) combined. My care plan is not only 100% tailored to me, but Deanna also personalizes every session based on how I'm feeling both physically/mentally that day, integrating mental/physical well-being in her practice. She takes the time to listen/understand how my condition impacts my life, finds ways for me to integrate my home care routine more easily/efficiently into my lifestyle, explains how each exercise/stretch works, and creates new ones on the spot to help save me time by combining several into one. Deanna truly goes above/beyond by taking the time to help me better understand my condition anatomically, how it affects me physically, and took things a step further by helping me understand my MRI/x-ray impressions ordered by the pain docs but never explained to me in a way I could understand by them. Thanks to her and Annika's profound empathy/compassion, unremitting encouragement/devotion, inexhaustible patience/support, and exceptional teamwork; I have managed to get off opioids completely, drastically cut down on multiple other addictive meds, regain confidence in my self/my ability to get better, and learn what I can do to continue along this path to recovery without having to get surgery. I'm no longer stumbling around in the dark and can finally see light at the end of the tunnel. They have completely transformed my life for the better and I sincerely hope they are getting the recognition/compensation they deserve for their relentless hard-work/efforts. Speaking of well deserved recognition/compensation for hard-work/efforts, I feel it's important that I mention all the other amazing PT Techs that have played a role in my journey to recovery (not in any particular order and hopefully spelled correctly): Jericho, Hanna, Blake, Chloe, Nick, Cora, and Jacob. Thank you to all with whom I've had the pleasure of working with at ASIS in Rancho Bernardo, words are not enough to express my gratitude for everything you have done for me!

I appreciate the explanation of why I am having the issue. The facility is big & very clean. I was also impressed with the staff I spoke to over the phone when first making my appointment.

The problem I have with this particular business is not the business itself, it instead the…read morebuilding it's located in. This is a case of style over substance. A physical therapy business should never be located in a building that can actually cause harm to individuals with handicaps, just by accessing it. What made it worse is that they did not provide any automatic door openers for anyone that's in a wheelchair. Another major negative strike against them. In order to get into the Select Physical Therapy suite you have to go through two extremely heavy doors. The business is located in a gorgeous Spanish-style hacienda-type building. But the doors feel like they have lead in them. I am coming for physical therapy because I have a very delicate neck and back. I hurt myself getting into the building before they even laid hands on me. They may be the best physical therapists in the world, but if I can't even get into the building without hurting myself, what good are they? Also, if you want to use the restroom inside the clinic, you have to go through two more sets of heavy doors. And then when you leave the restroom, you have to access these same two heavy doors yet again to get back into the clinic. And in order to leave the building, there's still the two original sets of heavy doors. So walking into this building, using the restroom, and leaving the clinic, I had to open these heavy doors a total of 8 times. When I left Select Physical Therapy in RB that day, I felt worse leaving than I did arriving. I had the most intense migraine, neck pain, and rib head pain because the doors caused my neck and rib heads to become misaligned. It's so ridiculous! Hopefully management will read this and show some wisdom by getting the heck out of that building into a more appropriate one. I went with a whole different PT company altogether because I can never trust a company that is so short-sighted.

I had ACL reconstruction surgery back on June 2022 and was sent to this facility before and after…read moresurgery. My therapist was Josh and I can't say enough good things about him! To start, he was the one that pushed for me to get a MRI, which showed how bad my injury actually was. Secondly, he worked through my recovery process endlessly finding different approaches to the many issues we encountered. I'm still getting stronger and gaining more confidence in my knee, but I will forever be grateful to have found Josh and this facility during that critical time. The rest of the therapist and Daniel in the reception, are also some of the kindest people I've met. Thank you for such an amazing experience during that challenging time!

Andrew at Catalyst physical therapy in 4S Ranch is a top-notch physical therapist, and he goes above and beyond. He made sure I was doing my exercises correctly, to ensure I was targeting the right muscles. I really appreciated this because those small tweaks in how I move can make an enormous difference. He consistently ensured that my exercises remained challenging and changed things up as needed. His deep tissue work was also amazing, and it made a significant difference in my recovery. I was so happy when my shoulder pain and range of motion was better. I am back to my regular weight training at the gym with no pain and full range of motion. I highly recommend Andrew and Catalyst PT at 4S Ranch. Everyone I encountered was very knowable and helpful.

It feels like he actually wants to help me get better instead of just trying to get through the day. He also knows his shit and can diagnose almost as well as an MRI lmao.

A few months ago, I was in a really terrible place. My back pain had become so severe that I…read morecouldn't even function. My initial MRI results were devastating--herniated discs, severe nerve compression, and even a piece of the disc had broken off. The pain was unbearable, radiating from my lower back through my hip and all the way down to the top of my foot. My leg was so numb that it felt cold, and I couldn't even shave it because I had no sensation at all. The worst part was how much this pain took away from my life. I had just retired from the Navy, and instead of enjoying time with my family, I found myself relying on them to take care of my basic needs. It got so bad that my child had to take care of me, bringing me food, helping me get up, and basically waiting on me hand and foot. I couldn't even stand up straight without tears. I was on all kinds of strong pain meds, but they weren't enough. I wasn't sleeping & honestly, I was terrified that this would be my new normal. The neurosurgeon I saw basically told me that surgery might help, but even that wasn't a guarantee. I was devastated, thinking this was how I'd spend the rest of my life. Then I went to SpineZone Rancho Bernardo & met my AMAZING physical therapist, Sana.. and slowly, things began to change. Sana didn't just focus on my immediate pain--she took the time to understand exactly what was going on with my back and created a plan that addressed the root of my issues. The exercises were tough at first, but she guided me through them with so much care and encouragement. She showed me the importance of posture--not just when I'm standing, but in everything I do. Whether it's getting out of bed, sitting down, or picking something up, she showed me how to move in a way that protects my spine & prevents injury. Now, I'm completely off the strong pain meds, and I'm pain-free!! The numbness in my leg (which I was told might never go away) is now 95% gone. I can stand tall again, and I'm not afraid of hurting myself when I move. I never imagined I'd feel this good again, but thanks to Sana and the team at Spine Zone, I have my life back

WHERE ~Located in the main strip mall on Bernardo Center…read moreDrive near the Rancho Bernardo Post Office and Round Table Pizza, in an upstairs suite. PARKING ~Plenty of free parking. WHAT TO EXPECT ~Inside, you'll find a check-in desk, a few chairs in case you arrive early, a water cooler, a single unisex restroom and 4 communal area stretch tables. ~I had no idea what the experience would be like. It features part sports massage, part stretching on a table with your clothes and socks on. ~You can put your personal belongings on a shelf under the table. WHAT I LIKED ~It felt like it had all the benefits of massage without having to disrobe and get all oily. ~Staff were friendly. ~Very clean -- they wipe down the tables between clients and the entire studio was spotless. ~No hard sell. WHAT I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED ~Slightly warmer room. ~More relaxing music instead of pop music. ~Individual/private room. ~One of the technicians was sniffing constantly, not sure if it was allergies or if she was sick, but it was distracting. ~Not to hear instructions or conversations between other technicians and clients. ~The hygiene paper covering the 'head hole' needed to be larger. WOULD I RETURN? Yes. Note: Look for their first-time introductory special on-line if you want to try it out. Helpful?

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.
