Best physical therapy location in a 50 mile radius! -The staff truly cares about your recovery -Professional (From scheduling, assistants and therapist, all conduct business in a cordial way) -Considerate (I have been a little late a few times and they have been accommodating) I highly recommend coming here! Derrick was my Physical Therapist. read more

A friend recommended I contact Full Motion Physical Therapy in San Juan Capistrano. I have called them two times and left voicemail messages with no response and one time I spoke to a therapist who said he would have someone call me to schedule an appointment, but they did not respond. Time to find another physical therapist. read more

I'm taking physical therapy in FullMotion. I really like it because the therapists are very professional. They make you an exam of the problem you have, and based on that, they give exercises according to what you need. I have problems with my right arm, and thanks God, I feel less pain since I come here because the exercises make feel better. The secretary is very professional, kind, patient, and attends you with a smile, and she answer your questions. If you want to decrease your pain and feel better come to FullMotion!! read more

Horrible amateur service. There is one physical therapist named Jake there that owns the place. It seems, and the people he has working under him are less than mediocre. One assistant was told to work on me and carelessly showed me stretches and had to repeatedly be shown over again by the one in charge again less than amateur working for the main person. The assistant helping me approach was not empathetic, and everything that was explained to me was spoken in a way that I was supposed to already know what he was talking about. I did not feel cared for, and when putting laser on my shoulder, which I did not ask for or was not explained to the process he just sat me down and put it on my arm with without even explaining to me what it was and completely burned my arm and did not even laser in the ball in socket that I had problems with. My entire arm is burnt and I'm contacting insurance for malpractice. I do not recommend this place and I highly recommend you do your research before contacting this company. Thank you. read more

I don't have much experience with physical therapy but the one group of sessions I had last year were disappointing. Everyone I knew had much better experiences. After my hip replacement the Doctors office found a PT closer to my home. But the surprise was; it was so much better than my previous experiences. The attention I get from the staff and the knowledgeable answers to my questions are wonderful. I'm considering continuing PT with Full Motion after the allotted sessions are finished. Yes - I am willing to pay for their services! read more

I have been going to Full Motion since Oct 2024 & they are 5* when it comes to relieving pain & discomfort .

I can't thank Josh enough for the level of care and guidance I have received from him for over a year now. The healing of my ankle and knee have been quite a long process, but Josh never gave up hope and was always willing to try something new. His recommendation to use a laser on my ankle injury has saved me so much pain and has allowed me to stretch my leg in ways to give it a better range of motion. He diligently has been breaking up the scar tissue as well with a graston knife, while having me practice exercises and stretches to regain my balance and get my kinetic chain back in sync with the rest of my body. He listens and empathizes with your pain and 100% cares about his patients. If you want results, go see Josh S. He is the best and I am so grateful he was my physical therapist! read more

Six years ago, I suffered a bilateral quad and patella rupture. After surgery, I spent nearly 6 months in a wheelchair, not getting up once on my own. Thanks to Jake and Full Motion (39 months of PT), I regained full movement and functions. This month, I ran in an event for the first time since and came in 5th in my age group. Very grateful for Jake and the team. They are amazing professionals who helped me regain my life. Thank you!!!! read more

See all

Love them! They are very Caring, on time and always a great experience. Wish you were closer

I am going through a second round of treatment with Jake and others at Full Motion. The first round was for my neck. The second round is for my elbow. The facility has a full portfolio or treatments for either condition. I would have to say that my recovery from these problems have been helped a lot thanks to Full Motion and Jake. I would recommend this facility for PT to anyone in the area. read more

You might have to take your care into your own hands and not just take it for granted that they know what they're doing. They gave me a home exercise program, of which I performed multiple times at home. I later got a call from the therapist saying to stop doing the prescribed exercises. He had not read the written protocol I had given to him from my surgeon. The day after the initial visit, I had done multiple sessions of the home exercise program. The therapist called and over the phone changed my home exercise program to something less aggressive. Very unprofessional, and no attention to detail. read more

Great place for physical therapy Have been to others and my neck hurt again in a couple days I feel great between appointments too read more

I could barely walk when I first went to PT here! Thanks to Josh , I was able to walk up the hill at Sal Creek Beach! Such a pleasure to have a very knowledgeable physical therapist! read more

BE CAREFUL! They charge double! I don't know how long they are doing this to their patients, but it is awful! If I didn't call my insurance company to find out about my copay(my physical therapy's copay is $30) they kept charging me $60! Even I told them that my copay is $30, they told me a terrible excuse. They said my copay is $60, but they can offer me some special discount and my copay can be $35. WRONG!!! I was upset and called my insurance company again. My insurance company called the physical therapy office and talked to the owner. They are supposed to refund $30, but I haven't received it yet. I just want to let all the patients know that you should be very careful about your bill. They might charge more especially this time. I know the business is really slow, but they shouldn't charge double. I will never go there again! read more

Everyone is always really nice. Always willing to reschedule which I've had to do a few times Really understanding and seem to genuinely care about their patients well being. Besides Christina don't remember names in to much pain sadly. They did a laser on my lower back seemed to help some. Appreciate all their help. read more

Great place to recover. Cool people who are knowledgeable and engaging. They all seem to "care" which is a nice vibe in the place. If you are in pain, pop in and get some healing! read more

I came here for a neck injury caused from a car accident and that subsequently continued with the neck pain discomfort/ pain after working. Everyone was super friendly and knowledgable. Jacob was the inital PT point person and was very helpful with addressing my issues. Mark was the assistant PT point person who was also excellent. Bobby and rodney were also stellar. Jennifer the staff receptionist was always inviting and friendly with appointments And overall this place is a great place to come and get needs met. I would reccomend this place for anyone who has the spectrum from minor issues all the way to extensive. Thank you everyone for your help! Everyone has been helpful with educatng me on proper procedure for at home exercises and attentive. Thank you! read more

I went to Full Motion Therapy and I was impressed by the customer service and care I received.

After I was rear-ended on the 91 freeway, my primary care physician referred me to Jake Gleason and the team at Full Motion Physical Therapy. After a comprehensive exam, Jake prescribed me a course of treatment at the facility as well as at home that started to provide me relief in just a few short weeks. They take their time and do things right at this facility. After 9 weeks, I can honestly say that I would not be in the position I am if it had not been for the great team over at Full Motion Physical Therapy. I am so thankful for Jake and his staff that helped me out and got me back to my active routine. They are all very pleasant and really care. read more

FullMotion Physical Therapy is the absolute best. I have been to many physical therapists over the years and have never found anywhere that compares to FullMotion! Jake Gleason is the owner, he is a true professional and a gentleman. My whole family has been seeing Jake since 2008 when he opened FillMotion Therapy. We appreciate his compassionate care and concern for the needs of each of his patients. The office is well maintained and the staff are all friendly and eager to help. read more

I can't really say enough good things about this place. Starting with Jennifer at the front desk, the physical therapy staff and specifically Jake Gleason MPT OCS, our orthopedic clinical specialist, the place is filled with professionalism, good will, and true care for patients. Our physical therapist at the San Clemente office called in sick, and our appointment was going to be cancelled, however my 90 year old father was ready and we didn't want to disappoint him so we asked if we could get the appointment anyway at the SJC office; Jen and the amazing staff at the SJC office were able to accommodate us and to keep the appointment. Jake and Caitlyn were both amazing. They took excellent care of my 90 year old father, and we couldn't be more thankful. read more

Jake & Co. are amazing!!! Im rehabbing after an old shoulder injury and I've never had ANYTHING but a professional, well balanced approach to my rehab. Every listening to the interactions between staff and other patients, I can tell they truly care for each individual patients care and results. I highly recommend Full Motion to everyone! Thanks for the care! read more

I had my left hip replaced on 9/1/11 and after 4 in house visits by a physical therapist, I moved on to outpatient physical therapy. Fortunately for me, my insurance was accepted at nearby FreeMotion Physical Therapy. I have had 5 appointments - including 3 (M-W-F) last week. These guys do not miss a thing! Led by the more than capable physical therapist Cary Costa, the FreeMotion Team is very professional and really putting me through the paces. Every appointment has blended more and more on point hip therapy exercises with stretching and laser therapy on my incision. These appointments are really productive. There is no rush and you never feel like "just a number". You are monitored and asked how you are doing and feeling numerous times by the various team members. I feel pushed in a very healthy way, and my hip is much stronger and flexible in just the last 12 days. You are in the hands of professional team members at FreeMotion Physical Therapy. They have both the knowledge and equipment to manage your therapy and bring back your strength and well being. The complete staff is very courteous and work together to assure your physical therapy experience is healthy and productive. I would highly recommend FreeMotion Physical Therapy to anyone seeking high level joint therapy. Their location is on the west side of Rancho Viejo Rd near Ortega Highway in San Juan Capistrano.

I'm very confused by the positive reviews. I brought my son here about five times for a throwing injury. I REALLY wanted to like it because it was five minutes from my house and insurance covered it. I found it to be one of those very typical large PT facilities that moves the herd of patients through, very little personal attention and focus. You go to a table, they have you do an exercise or ice, stim, etc--and come back in 15 minutes. Even our orthopedic agreed that if you want a "real" physical therapist, that's not the place. That's what you get for HMO insurance. There is no comparison the PT my son gets now. (Btw the therapist was not recommended or known by the ortho.) read more

I have been going to Physical Therapy for over 20 years everytime I get a new injury or my chronic conditions flare up . Of all the PT's I have been to THIS one is the BEST EVER. The staff is professional and efficient. Jake is hands on the most knowledgeable I have met regarding the whole spectrum of injuries. I highly recommend them and I am so blessed to have found them only 5 minutes from my house. The receptionist is caring and always helpful. The assistant ( Victoria ) has experience in sports injuries and has another vast knowledge of the body. I watch the other physical therapists work on other people and they are caring and professional. The atmosphere is " healing " and " caring " with a little fun thrown in because " laughter " is the best medicine . The machines are hi-tech and plentiful as well as straps and medicine balls for your recovery. I am grateful to have found this wonderful awesome PT group. Phyllis read more

My Yelp reviews up to this point have all been about excellence. So to write anything negative is extremely out of character for me. I first went to Full Motion in San Juan recently and had Jake who runs this facility as my therapist. He seemed professional in the beginning but that all ended very soon.....apparently anyone who had my kind of insurance really rubbed him the wrong way....and for the next 5-10 minutes I had to listen to him go on in detail of how he only got 150 dollars for the first visit and only 10 dollars for every visit after that. I have a serious neck issue and that suddenly was thrown on the far back burner it seemed. He let me know in no uncertain terms that people with my insurance just weren't worth it to him. In shock that a person in his position would actually talk to a first time customer in that matter- I asked him "So every time I come in here for therapy you will look at me as the 10 buck patient??" How sad I thought.... So... I go back for my second appt. a week later and had Derrick as my therapist. I thought surely he would be different and at first he seemed like he would be. I have to say he is good at what he does but shortly after we started he too began to voice his disdain with my insurance and it absolutely showed in his attitude and lack of vigor to take care of me. The third time I went, he wanted to just ice me and do a little something else that you usually don't do till the very end of the session! I commented on this and then he had me do a few stretches I think. I have been working in customer service for decades and I have Never seen anything like this...ever. To be fair the gals who work there all seemed really nice and kind and they have a gem in Jennifer who works at the front desk-she is a good listener and always pleasant. Also Bobby seemed really upbeat with customers- I actually asked if he could work with me but I was told he was only an aid. I had an appt. with Jake( wasn't looking forward to it...) today and as I was waiting...over 15 minutes at this point I couldn't even get eye contact with him. I finally commented nicely that they must be behind today and he said yes people were missing. To my shock he called someone to go ahead of me and didn't even look at me to say that he would be with me shortly or any professional statement at all....after all I was only a 10 bucker right?? My point is......If you are going through a difficult season in your life and you are relying on a less prestigious health care for the time being....whatever you do do not go to this facility...you truly will be treated like not only a second class citizen but a second class human being.....Please forgive me for writing such a sad review but since I've had almost 1,800 people read my reviews in the last 90 days I feel I owe it to them to give a heads up just in case. Thank you. Cynthia C. read more

I am currently being treated at Fullmotion Physical Therapy. I can not say enough good things about this facility. The staff is friendly and the office is clean to start. The appointment availabiity is better than mosy therapy offices I javr worked with in the past. The therapists are thorough and I always feel like I am better off for coming in. They offer a wide variety of services beyond PT too. As someone who works in the health care industry, I recommend Fullmotion Physical Therapy to the patients I work with every chance I get. I have been to Fullmotion for two separate injuries so far and if I ever get injured again, I will be right back here for some of the best PT around. read more

Four months ago a ruptured my Achilles' tendon and had surgery to repair it. For the past two months Jake and his expert staff have performed their magic which has allowed me to get back to activities I desperately need and love. Last week I played two sets of tennis (although not at full speed) and today I went on a 20 mile bike ride. Full credit for my rapid recovery goes to Jake's care and my surgeon's expertise. read more

Went once and don't plan to go back. Nothing beats leaving a physical therapy office more injured than when you went in. Had one of my ribs "popped out of place" and the therapist was clueless as to how it happened. Frightening. Didn't have him reset it obviously. read more

Cary, Jake and staff are absolutely the most attentive and knowledgeable physical therapists I've ever dealt with. (and I'm a nurse) My daughter has been rehabbing post knee surgery. They provide up to date treatment, individualized care specific to each case and kindness!! Great work and highly recommend this company. read more

I have had Jake and others as physical therapists intermittently for at least three years. The care at Free Motion Physical Therapy is beyond any I have experienced at other physical therapists places. Being an athlete, I have had a handful of physical therapists rehab one part or other of my body through the years. Free Motion is the best and I always recommend my friends who need treatment to go there. I am currently recovering from back surgery and Free Motion PT is helping me regain strength. I am an RN and I can say the staff is tops. read more

Full Motion is the best physical therapy out there! As a college athlete, I have been treated by several physical therapists. I can definitely say Jake and his team are the best. I would recommend them a thousand times. read more

Felt incredible after my first visit. Excellent staff and very knowledgeable PTs. Highly recommend for anyone experiencing chronic pain and limited range of motion. Very thorough treatment, massage, and exercise recommendations. Looking forward to next visit. read more

I'm very glad for the great help I receive at Full Motion Physical Therapy....and especially for the patience and understanding of Kaitlyn who is continually having to re-adjust my stretches and exercises to work around all my physical quirks. She's an absolute delight with her beautiful smile and positive energy. I'm also impressed with all the helpful gadgets they're having me use to improve my results. It surprises me to see all these new things because I've had a LOT of physical therapy over the years and yet at each visit at FMPT they teach me something new. One of the most amazing pieces of equipment is the anti-gravity treadmill. Wow! People with lower body problems will definitely want to try this. Another gadget (which I ended up purchasing for only $20) is for me to use at home when my neck is aggravated and I have to lay down flat. They are glasses that allow a person to read at a 90 degree angle. What a kick! I love them. I can even watch TV while lying down with my head flat. I wish I had those years ago; they are worth every penny! Definitely benefiting from the help I receive at Full Motion Physical Therapy and I recommend them. read more

I have to say this is the best Physical Therapy facility I have been to! The staff is knowledgeable and caring. They spend the time explaining how and why therapy works ! I feel that I am in good hands. My goal is to be pain free and I feel "Kaitlyn" will help me achieve just that !!! read more

I had shoulder surgery a few years back, and BELIEVE ME, Jake was the ONLY one who helped me AT ALL!! I visited several, all worthless. Go here if you want to recover. Go elsewhere to waste your time and potentially get worse read more
