Love this place! I play beach volleyball and my knees weren't doing well. My right knee would buckle and hurt when stepping into a sand pit. I couldn't even start off into a jog. Leg extension would trigger buckle and hurt. The rear/outer part of my left knee would be sore. Long story short, the awesome staff here worked my IT band, glutes, core, quads, hams, calves. It was like having multiple personal trainers, along with hypervolt vibration plus manual hand massage, and active release type therapy. I continued these stretching/strengthening exercises daily (resistance bands, foam roller, kettle bell squats, etc.) and now I've chucked my knee braces and back to playing 3-on-3 beach, plus even some doubles! The facility is more modern than I've experienced at other PT offices. it felt more like a massage/gym than a clinic. And, they created a useful CoreEx mobile app with easy-to-search exercise videos. My previous "clinics" provided paper sheets with hard to read steps. I'd just rather watch a video than read obscure body-tweaking instructions. The entire staff is knowledgeable, skilled, helpful, and... fun. We even did "plank parties" to competitively push a group of us to go longer. The names I can recall (apologies to those I forgot): Adam, Kelli, Kimi, Chloe, Dominic, Nikki, Lena, Emily. Plus, Rachel and Tala at the front. I don't hope to require PT again, but if I do, I know there's a place that will fix me back up in a jif. read more

This is an excellent facility! Everyone is very friendly and professional and I was able to see results with my knee injury. They take special care to make sure the treatment is tailored to you. Thanks to the therapists and the aides, I was able to get back to running regularly again. read more

Fantastic staff, drs and techs. All very professional And competent! Best therapy I ever had for a hip problem I've had for many years. Never have to wait to start. Dr Kim has been my lead therapist, very knowledgeable and caring. Also Dominic, Dylan,Emily, Emma all very helpful. Amanda at front desk is always sooo cheerful along with Shannon. I highly recommend this PT GROUP. read more

Just left Core Performance PT in Irvine. Walked in with shoulder and neck pain. But after the PT Director, Matthew worked on my shoulder, pain was gone! Like a miracle. Now if I'll keep up with my exercises at home, I'll be stronger and pain free! Matthew and Core staff are excellent! Thanks, (And Nicole is fabulous too!) read more

Core Performance is the place! I have been to a lot of PT over the years and this one is exceptional. You are greeted and called by name each and every time. Minimal wait times, if at all. Taylor greeted me on the first day with a big smile and helped me through six months of rotator cuff surgery rehab. He's the best! The PT aides were all good too. It is a very positive environment full of hard work, music and laughter. I highly recommend this team! read more

Core helped me get through and and cure me of an extremely painful "Tennis Elbow." All the people there are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Special thanks to Kimmy who listened to all my funny stories. They are wonderful. read more

AMAZING! Core Performance takes great care of me. Adam, Kurt, and Nicole are the BEST. They listened to my concerns, worked up a plan, encouraged me and my progress has been quick. They are really knowledgeable in treatment and use the latest in equipment and techniques. Adam is very intelligent and extremely professional. Upon seeing my shoulder and reading my report, he knew exactly what was wrong. I especially love his manual skills, which greatly reduced the tightness and relieved the pain. The front desk is very friendly and professional too. I enjoy my time there! The ONLY negative remark I have is that some of the PT aides lack the same understanding or passion and sort of go through the motions with you - don't correct you, hand you equipment and leave. It's hit or miss with some of them. read more

I don't think I can say enough great things about this place. My first time at this location I was given an evaluation from Taylor and instantly he was extremely helpful as it was for a leg injury I had and I didn't quite know exactly what it was and he listened and helped me figure out what it was and I was on my way with some stretches and things to do to strengthen it. A month went by and i ended up having shoulder surgery and Taylor remembered me from the time before and it was something I found very great as he was very thoughtful and genuine with me as a patient and with his other patients as I observed as time went on, he was very intentional within everything he does. I only have great things to say about Taylor and was extremely blessed and fortunate to have him as the one who helped me through the road to recovery. Every-time I was in there he was great to talk to he was very down to earth about things and kept the mood light as in those beginning months it was somewhat of a struggle as it was never that fun to have to go through recovery. However he would always continue helping me by encouraging me and you could talk to him about pretty much anything. Whatever he did he was diligent with and would answer any questions i asked. As for the facility itself it was always very clean and the ladies at the front desk were always very sweet and ask about your weekend etc. Finally, for the aids who helped me with my recovery they were always great to me and very great with what they did as they helped explain the exercises and would offer some help to help you do the exercise better. I always enjoyed the times I had with the aids and once my recovery was all done it was a bit sad having to say goodbye to the taylor and the aids who helped me. The environment they created there was a great one as I would always go in there and enjoy my time even if it would be a struggle with the exercises. Being there within the environment they had created was always a treat and something I was grateful for with all of them as it made the recovery process a little bit easier every time I was there. The vibes were great each and every time I was there and the mood was always a light hearted one they were great at what they do while balancing an environment where you could talk to them about pretty much anything and were open to any and every question you asked! I would recommended Taylor and this location to anyone and everyone as I enjoyed every moment of my time there and was blessed to have them all. read more

Having been here has been great, I suffered for a year with a shoulder impairment that I couldn't get formally diagnosed, and after having been here for 4 months I'm good as new. I've tried everything before, having been to 2 other PT places and having even got cortisone for my shoulder, nothing seemed to work. Now I'm ready to continue Wrestling, Boxing and I've already begun lifting again. My life is back on track and I couldn't be happier. Special Thanks to Kenny and Taylor for helping me get back on my feet (shoulders) read more

Core Performance and Adam Javate were recommended by my Doctor after I had a PRP treatment for a tear in my hamstring. I've been working with them for about 9 months now and am very pleased with the results. I am experiencing a lot less pain and a lot more strength and flexibility with my leg. I was skeptical at first about some of the things they encouraged me to do (like taking a spinning class - which is how I tore my hamstring to begin with), but I came to trust Adam and his counsel and worked through the slight pain I experienced with some of the exercises. I never would have done some of these things on my own. I leave here with a whole catalog of exercises I will continue to do probably for the rest of my life to keep my leg and lower body in shape. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

With three different injuries including two knee peplacements and one neck issue in a span of seven years, I have used Core Performance. Every time, I have been impressed with their care, dedication, professionalism and knowledge. If and when I need their services again, I will go to them again with no hesitations. read more

I just completed my PT following rotator cuff surgery in Feb and I could not be happier with the results. John helped me in my initial sessions and I later transitioned to Adam full time. They were both exceptional in their care. They are highly knowledgeable, personable, they listen to you and push you as needed to get better. Everyone there is very positive and encouraging from Amanda at the entrance to all of the junior associates. I am lucky to have found this place. Just as I have finished my recovery, my wife is now going to them for her back, and she has been very happy about her initial treatment. A final word for the current times. They are all highly sensitive to keeping everyone safe and healthy today. Everyone wears protective masks, they take your temperature when you arrive and they are consistent about wiping down all tables and equipment after each use. I strongly recommend them! read more

After 4 months of work my knee is dramatically improved! Dr. Taylor Sillekins put together the right program for me to strengthen my knee and other muscles! Kenny was also great in taking me through my exercises and pushing me! I would highly recommend Core PT in Irvine! read more

This was my first Physical Therapy session for the bulge disc issue. I had most of my appointments with the Dr. Adam and a couple with Dr. John. Both of them very professional and thorough. They take time to listen to the update on your situation and modify the treatments as needed. In terms of how my condition progressed since I joined: My neck motion range increased tremendously and my posture overall became better due to the exercises that I was prescribe. Overall, most importantly they put me in a habit to follow the exercise routines on my own after I moved out of Orange County. read more

I hurt my knee a couple of years ago and finally started going to physical therapy and I'm very glad to have found this place. I mainly work with Kimi and Mallory, and they're so fun and great to work with. Kimi always makes sure to stretch me out thoroughly and is great at adjusting my exercises. I've seen great results with my knee not hurting as much as it was when I first started. Mallory is great as well. I love doing my exercises with her and she always makes sure that I'm pushing myself. She always comes up with new, fun exercises for me to do and I have a great time working with her. She makes my time there very enjoyable and I'm very grateful for that. I never would've thought that I'd have so much fun at physical therapy to heal my knee. Every week I always look forward to coming here! read more

( this office is on the 3rd floor) 7/30/19. Day one... My left knee is why I'm here. Got a bone bruise and stretched meniscus. 6-8 weeks PT unless I heal faster. Everything was explained, my stretches to exercises. I have Sarah who gets Personal and interacts with everything I do. The front office girls are friendly and prompt. ..... more to come as I complete my PT.. read more

Hands down the best physical therapy place. After having my patellar dislocated, I have called multiple places to make my first appointment. Honestly I made decision to come to this place after talking to Amanda, the front staff who was so beyond helpful and friendly. Kimmy and Matt, the two experienced therapists are the best therapists you can ask for. They are extremely knowledgeable and professional. They have both worked on me for past 6 months making a huge progress to multiple issues I have been suffering with. They both truly understand how human bodies work, provide the most fit therapy for every individual needs. They will answer any questions you have and value your concerns and needs. I have also been suffering from chronic TMJ issue, and Matt is one of the rare PT you can find who is well knowledgeable in this area. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for PT who actually care about their patients. read more

I had the best physical therapy experience I have ever had. All the trainers were extremely kind and respectful and made me feel extremely comfortable. I went in with an injury I didn't think I would recover from and made a full recovery in 6 weeks. I am extremely pleased with my experience and would've rather gone anywhere else. read more

Having gone through 6 weeks of therapy with Core Performance, I can attest to the team's exceptional ability to devise and refine a personalized treatment plan while fostering a warm, encouraging environment. I was referred to Core Performance to address chronic pain caused by a traumatic leg injury, and I've been benefitting immensely from the expertise of Dr. Taylor Sillekens. Right from my first appointment with Dr. Sillekens, I've felt both comfortable under his care and confident in his approach to my injury. He is incredibly knowledgeable and creative in his solutions, and I always feel appropriately challenged in my sessions without ever feeling unsafe or uncomfortable. More importantly, Dr. Sillekens also demonstrates an immense amount of compassion and warmth to me while I'm there. He has prioritized developing a constructive partnership with me, and my time with him has been filled with camaraderie while still remaining very professional. I look forward to catching up with him about life each week as much as I do about the progress I'm seeing in my leg. Pretty much all of the same can be said about the rest of the team that helps me through my exercises and greets me when I come in. I've had the pleasure of working with Fabian and Elizabeth, who have been my PT aides during my time here. Both of them are highly competent and have made me feel well-supported in everything I've been doing. They are very conscious about monitoring my form and making any necessary adjustments to the exercises I have planned for the day. They've done a wonderful job of encouraging me to push myself safely while being very supportive if I'm unable to reach a certain amount of exercise. I also am very grateful for Amanda, who manages the front desk on the days I come in. She is incredibly welcoming and never ceases to brighten my morning with her greetings and conversation. Ever since coming to Core Performance, I've been feeling stronger than ever, and I'm so glad that I've been referred to this location. It's rare to find a PT center that as highly skilled and welcoming as this one, and I never thought I would look forward to PT as much as I do now. Thank you, Dr. Sillekens and everyone here! read more

Best physical therapy experience! Great experiences with the staff, physical therapists, especially Matt and David, and the aids are all good at listening and accommodating to meet your needs. They really helped strengthen my shoulder and gave me tips on what to do before I start working out. Would highly recommend coming here and would definitely give them a 6 star rating if I could :) read more

I've had a generous amount of physical therapy in my 85 years. But this latest experience at Core has been one of the best, if not the best. From first contact with Amanda at the front desk to my individual therapists I felt I was in competent and safe hands. I've made really good progress from my back surgery with their knowledge and support. Their commitment to my well-being inspired me to work hard and with confidence that we would succeed. read more

This place is by far the most excellent Physical Therapy around. Well educated, motivated professionals who display professionalism and sincerity. They also make therapy fun and engaging! read more

I have received thoughtful and effective care at Core Performance PT. I have worked with 2 therapists on my knee issues. Jill is insightful and a good listener, assigning exercises that are targeted and effective. Her hands on work always finds the spot. Amer met me, assessed my referral and life style, and developed a comprehensive program that I can mirror at home ( with the help of the app to provide technique reminders). read more

I'm very impressed with the atmosphere and the professionalism at CORE Performance. My shoulder was bothering me for a VERY long time. I finally went to a Dr. who recommended PT. My husband had been to CORE in the past and highly recommended them. Everyone in the office is amazing, they are friendly and know everyone's name. I was assigned to Dr. Taylor as a my PT. He is very knowledgeable, understands my issue and positive that I will have a successful outcome. He never makes me feel rushed and keeps an eye on me when I'm working with the aides to judge my progress. Everyone there cares that each person do well. I've also enjoyed working with Fabian and Kenny, Mallory on my exercises. They have an app- where they load all the exercises one needs to continue with at home - with videos to demonstrate the movements. I'm very happy I chose to go there for rehab. read more

I am so pleased with Core Performance Physical Therapy! I have been to other facilities in the past and this one far surpasses them in their techniques and treatment of various ailments that have been affecting my life style. Taylor is an excellent physical therapist. He is very attentive, takes his time in his treatment of my back and knees, and always wants to know how it is affecting me and whether it is helping. The physical therapist assistants are also wonderful!! The front office staff is accommodating and very friendly!! read more

I have been going to Core Performance for the spring and fall semesters. While trying to balance school and health, the people at Core Performance have made the recovery journey so much easier. I'm sad to see Kimi leave but I am so thankful for her help. Not to mention the amazing aides, Mallory, Janela, and Fabian, and the volunteer, Courtney, at the Irvine location. They make physical therapy enjoyable. read more

Dr. Adam Jarate (hope I spelled that correct) is not only a fantastic physical therapist, but is an awesome, encouraging human. I had rotator cuff surgery and Adam and the fantastic staff at Core Performance had me back playing golf and swimming in under 4 months. I am so thankful for everyone's professional, coordinated work with me. I am so happy to give this fantastic group my highest recommendation. I have used Core Performance in Newport Beach and now Irvine, and have been exceptionally happy with the results and the amazing people at both locations. Thanks everyone. read more

Physical therapy at Core Performance in Irvine has been life-changing for both my wife and I. The Clinical Director, Dr. Matt Shihab, is one of the most outstanding medical professionals you will ever meet. And my therapist, Dr. Kimi, is just tremendous. Everyone at Core, from the front desk, to the therapy aides, to the doctors, are caring, friendly and engaged. These folks really invest themselves in your health and wellbeing. I look forward to every appointment! read more

I saw Matthew for therapy on my injured back over the summer, and he was SO helpful. Not only did he treat my back, but he also taught me what was happening and what kind of treatment was best for me- which was helpful with wanting to go into PT for my future career, as well as being an athlete and how important it is to know what's going on in my body. The staff here is also amazing and always found a way to get me in to appointments with times that work best with my schedule. Love this place! :) read more

These guys are great, easy scheduling, friendly staff make you feel comfortable, very knowledgeable and professional.. really happy with the care I am getting read more

I can't say enough good things about Core Performance PT. I have a very stubborn hip issue and EVERYONE there is concerned about my healing process. It has been a long road to recovery and they have been with me and behind me every step of the way. The first question is always "How are you feeling?" My program is constantly being adapted in relation to my progress. These folks know their stuff. You definitely want to go here if you are in need of PT services. read more

My wife, still continues in her terrible, excruciating back pain (since Feb., 27th, 2019 Wednesday's 4pm session), now still going on the 5th day, March 3rd, 2019 Sunday, in terrible pain when there's a need to move or get a round. John, created a pulling effect of her leg, like a rope effect, while leaning back, that severely strained her back muscle on her right side. She got a Doctor's diagnosed as a muscle strain ,.... and the pain goes on. Using ice compresses during the night. She called Core office, (first thing 7:30 am Thursday morning, Feb.,28th) spoke to Rachel, (receptionist) if John could give her a call back, she is in pain. Guess what, "NO" "CALLBACK" from anyone........ not even John. We don't recommend this business and their methods of physical therapy treatments. A.J. read more

I sit at my desk all day for work and have constant lower back pain. I went to see Dr. Kwon and he provided treatment and physical therapy on my back and consulted me on what I needed to do, not only for my back, but for my Entire body to alleviate the pain. He reminded me that everything is connected from top to bottom. Dr. Kwon doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk. He lives a healthy lifestyle and takes care of himself and his family, so I trust him when he provides consulting. I've known Dr. Kwon for 20 years and he's one of the most hard working and real people I know. I highly recommend Core Performance for anyone needing PT or consulting. read more

On-time appointments. Cheerful front-office staff (Amanda, verily thou rocketh!). Competent and thorough PT, by professionals who are energetic, enthusiastic, and optimistic! I came to them for therapy after a bike accident: broken and dislocated fingers, and shoulder damage. I enter stiff and in pain, and I leave better on all fronts. They give me easy-to-follow home stretches and exercises. And I am improving! Soon I will not have to come in anymore, but I will miss them: The positive attitude, the encouragement, the energy! read more

Having just moved down to Irvine while dealing with some significant neck and lower back issues, I am so happy to have found Dr John Kwon and his team at Core Performance PT! John takes the time to listen to you and give a comprehensive exam to come up with a treatment plan. I am confident that I am on my way to recovery. As a family physician myself, I have had a lot of exposure to many therapists over the years. I can confidently recommend Dr Kwon and CORE Performance Physical Therapy to my family, friends and patients! read more

I have been to many different physical therapy offices. These guys at Core Performance really know their stuff! The two physical therapists that I have worked with, John and Adam, are outstanding! Every minute they are working on me is beneficial! They don't mess around. In addition, every single aid that has helped me with my exercises are knowledgeable and helpful! This is not always true at all physical therapy offices. I am also very thankful for the exercise routine they give me and encourage me to take home. I have seen a dramatic improvement improvement and I am very thankful for the awesome team at Core Performance Physical Therapy. I highly recommend them! read more

Nice place, well equipped, centrally located in Irvine. Friendly, professional, all good looking staff! Just finished 30 sessions of therapy, excellent experience! Thanks for their help! JJ read more

I have been a daily recreational runner for 50 years and a competitive 5k runner for the last 40. Over that period, running has become an essential part of each day of my life and a treasured source of joy, comfort and calm. In 1980 I was crushed by a car and suffered severe orthopedic and brain damage as well as experiencing the joy and calm of a near death experience. After 2 months in the hospital I was released and desperately hoped to regain my personal and professional life. Returning to running was my highest priority. I was told by 2 preeminent orthopedic surgeons that I would never run again and to expect severe traumatic arthritis later in life. I disregarded their advice and put myself on a self devised recovery schedule. After 1 year I started running again. Since then I have completed 45,000 running miles and returned to monthly 5k racing. When the inevitable happened and my hip deteriorated to very painful bone on bone arthritis, I was forced to stop my beloved running. Once again, I was told by the medical profession that my running days were definitely over. Sadness overcame me and total hip replacement surgery was scheduled three months out. CPPT was highly recommended to me and I spent three months under the unbelievable expert care and attention of Christie assisted by Rylan in CPPT's immaculate, friendly and understanding Irvine office. Christie devised an amazing program to prepare me for surgery and I devoted myself every to preparing for surgery under her guidance. After surgery I continued with a post op program devised by Christie and implemented by both her and Rylan. Thanks to Team Christie I took my first running steps 3 months after commencing my post op recovery program and am doing intervals 3 times a week. My first 5k race is scheduled for Independence Day, July 4th! My soul has returned to me and I feel the joy of running again, even if temporally reduced in time and distance. Thank you eternally Christie, Rylan, Tish and Alley and for all the supportive smiles that everyone at CPPT shared with me at each visit . read more

Best therapists and staff !! They know what they are doing, they listen to how you are feeling and where your pain is, they also take the time with each patient to be sure you know how to do each exercise. They keep all the equipment and tables very clean, wiping down everything after each use. They keep a positive and upbeat atmosphere which makes it a great place for rehabbing your injury. I have been to both the Irvine and Newport Beach location and would recommend them both to anyone at any age. I have been to other Physical therapy facilities in the past and Core Performance is head and shoulders above the rest !! Thank you to the staff for they dedication to their trade. read more

Core Performance really helped me gain confidence in my abilities as an athlete again. Going in with a dislocated knee, I was scared, but immediately was met by a welcoming staff and people who openly care about the health of their patients. John, Adam, Emily, Chloe, Rachel, Rylan and many other wonderful people worked tirelessly to make me comfortable and helped me progress in learning how to heal. Their positive energy, positive attitudes, way they connect with their patients by learning about them and remembering personal details is something that is hard-pressed to find in any workplace. I am very grateful for the care that was provided to me and thankful that I was able to be a part of their world for the past couple months. You will not be disappointed if you go here!! read more
