Dr. Rachel helped me get back on my feet. I hate this overused word, but yes, LITERALLY. Everyone here is so professional, welcoming, and sincerely friendly! Even the clients were great! (Miss Fran, if you read this, I hope you're doing well! It was fun chatting with you!) My treatment started because of my broken leg, and I went twice a week down to once a week for a period of 3 months. I always did a warm-up, and then they tailored the exercises to strengthen and increase my flexibility. Those workouts were not easy, but necessary! Made me work up a sweat. My visits usually took one hour, and thank goodness my insurance provided and covered this service. I could also do more exercises at home with the online program they gave me. I don't want to come back here (because I don't want to be injured again)! But, if I do get hurt and need rehab, this place is the best. Thank you so much to everyone at Performance Plus! read more

I went into Physical Therapy really skeptical. Dr. Gio and the staff at Performance Plus changed my perspective on the first day. They all were very and professional and attentive. My shoulder's a range of motion and strength improved with each visit. I highly recommend Dr. Gio and the entire staff at Performance Plus.

I haven't been to this location, I go to the location in national city, however I'm impressed with this business overall!

So incredibly grateful for the help I got at performance plus! I sprayed my ankle back in July and couldn't even walk let alone go on runs or work 12 hour shifts on my feet. Dr. Gio and everyone there were so supportive through my recovery, I wouldn't go anywhere else to get PT in San Diego! 10/10 would get injured again just to hang out with these awesome people :) read more

Performance Plus Physical Therapy in Chula Vista is by far the best experience I have ever had with physical therapy. The clinic is located in Chula Vista on East Palomar Street. The facility is clean and most of the staff is absolutely amazing. I was very fortunate to be paired with the best staff members under my care. For almost 3.5 months Dr. Jacqueline Dagostino and Erick Plazo had put together a plan to help relieve shoulder pain I had been experiencing for months. They pin pointed the issue and consistently worked with me until I was confident enough to be discharged to continue at home exercises. Jacquie and Erick always made me feel welcomed every time I came into the clinic, always listened to what I needed to say and genuinely cared about what was going on. We'd always have great conversations to help comfort and distract me through my pain during exercises. The exercise specialist are also great! I was always paired up with Alicia and she was just the sweetest employee who walked me through each exercise. Lastly, there's Lexie, the amazing front desk specialist who always greeted me with a smile and always (without fail) asked me how my day was. This always set the vibe to be positive and comforting every time I walked in through the doors. Hands down if I ever need PT again, I will be returning to this location. Thank you Performance Plus PT Chula Vista you are all amazing! Thank you for helping me get better and most of all, your amazing service. read more

I've been to many different physical therapy clinics for the last few years, and i can't recommend Performance Plus enough. In the past, I never got better at the other locations and felt that some of the therapists (not all) were very robotic and saw me only as a number. That hasn't been the case here at all. Performance plus truly cares about their patients and are more attentive during my sessions than anywhere I've ever been to. I was truly amazed, and I'm not someone who's easily impressed. Each patient has their own doctor who attends to them personally during every session. I was luckily enough to be paired with Dr. Rachel Herman. She's helped me so much that a review would not do her justice. The staff here is equally amazing. So kind and welcoming, attentive, respectful, caring, and patient. And I can't forget the receptionist Lexi ;). Don't waste your time with other locations and come link with Performance Plus. You won't regret it. And if you say you do, you know you're lying. Much Love Performance plus, to each and every one of you. You guys don't know how much you help me, and how much I really appreciate you guys. Very Respectfully, Ray from The South Bay ! read more

I had knee replacement surgery in August 2019. Underwent physical therapy, mostly focused on range of motion. After a year I still was experiencing pain in the knee. Surgery was performed in Cincinnati, but was being followed up here by a local doctor, who frankly was more interested in replacing the other knee than examining first one. Sought a second opinion. This doctor immediately diagnosed an IT band issue and referred me to physical therapy. They had a list of different clinics, but recommended Performance Plus. I was fortunately assigned to Dr. Gio Valenzuela as my therapist. I cannot say enough great things about this young man. Besides the knee there were some other issues with the knee. In just a matter of 3-4 weeks the knee was doing better, although still experiencing some pain. Dr. Valenzuela took it upon himself to contact the ortho doctor and discuss my case. The ortho doctor and Dr. Valenzuela coordinated their efforts. Between them, they have given me exercises to do at home, and Dr. Valenzuela has shown me how to change certain motions to minimize aggravation of the knee. I still have some pain, but vastly, vastly reduced and certainly very manageable. I don't think you can find a more caring physical therapist! The support staff is also excellent, from the receptionist to the exercise therapists who work along with Dr. Valenzuela. If going here I strongly suggest you request him as your therapist. read more

I have accepted the fact that my pain will never go away; however, I refused to quit on finding ways to relieve some of the pain. Therapists aren't magicians, they won't be able to make all of your pain disappear, that all depends on your body's ability to heal itself. I am one of those patients that suffers with chronic back pain, and I have tried almost every other physical therapy clinics (including injections and medications) in the area that are in-network. I noticed each facility has its own approach; some spend too much time focusing on exercises and less time working on the patient, while others spend way too little time with patients at all. I have known Todd for over 2 years, back when he used to work for CVPG. I love working with him because he is a one of a kind therapist. He just doesn't listen to his patient's concerns but he also goes above and beyond to make sure that the patients leave pain-free (or pain-less) if possible. I was so relieved to know that he opened his own practice, plus now he's even closer to where I live. He may have a smaller practice but that just means that his staff is able to focus on their patients more because they prefer quality of care over quantity of patients. When I started with Todd's clinic, I was in and out of there in an hour. I felt like I had the appropriate amount of one-on-one time with my therapist, exercises, and "ice" time. Todd is one of the most competent therapists that i have worked with. At his clinic, I am able to relax and focus on healing and making myself feel better because I know I am in very capable hands. He is able to sense where the most painful spots are and focus on relieving some of the tension, and then he creates the appropriate exercise plan that your body is able to tolerate. At the end of my session, it feels like I can accomplish more errands because I didn't have to worry about feeling more pain for the rest of the day. I'm sure there's other clinics that may offer better perks or gimmicks but nothing compares to Todd's approach; he simply and truly does provide an exceptional one-on-one patient care. read more

By far the best place I've been to for physical therapy. The staff is nice professional and very knowledgeable. Everyone make you feel welcome from the time you walk through the door and when you leave. It feels good to know that people who provide an important service know you by your first name and they're genuine people that really care about the patients and they show it by how they've taken care of me and how I see them handle other patients. Although it's physical therapy and dealing with pain everyone is smiling and talking to staff and other patients. I highly recommend this place for anyone that is looking for knowledgeable therapist to assist you with getting back on track physically. read more

I went to Performance Plus for an assessment and found it to be very clean, open and airy, and Dr. Todd Sparks was very professional and personable; seemed to really care about my issue. Explained processes to me in "laymens terms" and made me feel very comfortable. Lots of free parking available, and close to the building (it was raining!). I'll be coming here for my physical therapy sessions, and looking forward to it! read more

I love everything about this place. I have been coming to Performance Plus for a couple months and they have used a wide variety of techniques to try and improve my hip issue. My problem is likely surgical, and the staff has been up front about the fact that it won't be "fixed" by Physical Therapy but I still see a major difference in how I feel and I keep coming back. PT isn't a walk in the park no matter where you do it, but Todd and Shawn make it fun and interesting. I would 100% recommend Performance Plus. read more

I just finished physical therapy at Performance + Plus and want to give a shout out to this really great physical therapy business located on 1392 East Palamor Street. It is a professional setting with a good team approach from the front desk staff coordinated by Vivian and a thorough assessment headed by Dr. Todd Sparks, DPT who is also the owner. They accept many different types of insurance and also Medicare I had an excellent experience and hope you give this small business a try. Their phone number is (619) 482-3000. Thanks to the entire team especially Dr. Shawn Renner and Oscar read more

I came across Proformance Plus Physical Therapy when I needed a PT for my knee rehab. Awesome to have a new, convenient physical therapy location in Chula Vista. I'm Glad I went! They are great!! Dr. Todd was very knowledgeable and professional. He has many years of experience and it's paying off with the progress I've seen in just the first week. It's a incredible new facility with state of the art equipment, and a friendly staff. Wishing best of luck to the team at Performance Plus Physical Therapy!! read more

I started my physical therapy at Performance Plus about 4 weeks ago. The Office Manager, Vivian, was very professional on the phone and assisted me in getting my approval through TRI-WEST and get scheduled for my first appointment. Vivian is great with scheduling appointments that meet my needs and makes you feel welcome on every visit. Dr. Todd Sparks did my intake the first visit and was very thorough with the questions that he asked about my condition and the issues that I was having. He explained the process that we would follow on each visit. I felt almost immediate relief from some of my pain after my first visit and have been making steady progress. Dr. Shawn was also very skilled in massaging the affected muscles. The Exercise specialist that I have had, Bree and Oscar, are both very knowledgeable, professional and understanding if you can't do all that they suggest that you do at that time. We work up to it. Their guidance in proper exercise has helped my start my exercise regime at home. Highly recommend Performance Plus Physical Therapy. read more

From my first call to Performance Plus (Chula Vista), Front desk coordinator Lexi was very helpful on the phone. She made sure that my health insurance and appointment were done correctly to make sure I was billed appropriately. She gives great smiles and friendly greetings. My first consultation with Physical Therapist, Dr. Rachel was very encouraging. She was very knowledgeable and kind. I could tell she was listening to my concerns and challenges. She went out of her way to make sure every new exercise was comfortable and resulted in helping me. The rest of the staff was very kind as well. read more

I was reffered to performance plus physical therapy due to an Ankle ingury. I felt very insecure cause I believed that i wouldn't be able to walk normal again. During the process of each therapy I felt Better About My Injury And Even More Secure About Walking On My Ankle.

Great experience at performance plus! The staff are all caring and are accommodating to the needs of their patients. I was able to bring my daughter and most place say no kids.. this was especially helpful to me and my recovery. Todd is very knowledgeable and helped explain things for me to better understand. I always felt like I was getting good work done in the muscles that needed to be stabilized. My shoulder and knee feel better since having my visits with performance plus! I highly recommend performance plus physical therapy for your therapy needs. read more

About four months ago I aggravated an old back injury. I was in some serious pain. Just standing up straight hurt, lying in bed was painful and tying my shoes was out of the question. My doctor referred me to Performance Plus Physical Therapy. I was cautiously optimistic. I had been to physical therapy before when I originally injured my back. In my past experience, I had found myself in a mill of some sorts repeating the same circuit and exercises in the same order as the other patients around me and my visits were always the same = boring. I was in so much pain that I was willing to give it another go... and boy, am I sure glad I did. First off, my schedule is quite difficult; Vivian was able to get me in at a consistent time which works with my schedule. Me even knowing her name is a testament to how personable she is because I've always been bad with names; but I can remember hers. I walked in for the first time and right away I could tell this place was different. It was wide open, bright and the patients there didn't look bored, they were smiling and looked interested in what they were doing (and everyone was doing completely different exercises and stretches on specific body parts... no mill here). Dr. Sparks and every single person I have encountered there make it apparent that my recovery is important to them and they reinforce that consistently in all they do with things such as taking the time to remember my name. I'm writing this review because as I finished up my physical therapy appointment today, I remembered the pain I was in when I first came through their door. That pain is now a distant memory. Dr. Sparks has given me many tools to keep it that way. Even today, I learned new stretches that left me feeling energized. I know these tools will continue to serve me well. read more

I got into a car accident a few months back & my upper back was in a lot of pain soon after, my doctor recommended me to do physical therapy & set me up here. I didn't really know what to expect but I know I didn't want to be in pain anymore. On my first day I had a consultation with Todd where he explained how everything works there & assured me he was gonna make my back feel better. It was more painful at first but everything they did helped me tremendously I feel so much more better than the first day I went in there, the staff here is also very welcoming everyone who helped me always put a smile on my face & made me laugh.. definitely recommend this place & if ever I have any more pain I'll be going here in a heartbeat! read more

I was referred to this place by my dr. Great staff and even better atmosphere. The staff is really knowledgeable. Performance plus helped me recover from my injury. Highly recommend read more

Todd Vivian and all the staff are very helpful,professional, sympathetic they make you feel welcome and they understand your needs clearly.

I am so grateful to Dr. Todd Sparks and his entire staff! I have an old injury and complications from pregnancy/birth that threw a wrench in my get fit after baby number 2 plans. I still have a long way to getting my core stabilized and strong but in the short time that I've been seeing Dr. Todd I've been able to get back to some of the things I love doing! I can run two miles pain free and do some light weight lifting already! I am confident with Dr. Todd and his staff that I'll running long distances pain-free sooner than expected. If you need a kind, professional, and EFFECTIVE physical therapist who tailors the therapy to your needs then choose Performance Plus! read more

If you're just beginning your search for a physical therapist and don't know where to start..search no more! Or, on the other hand, if you've been disappointed with other physical therapists, the quality of care, the clinical environment, etc., you've come to the right place! Dr. Todd is the consummate professional with an exceptional bedside manner, highly knowledgeable, and exceedingly competent at his craft. My experience with physical therapy began approximately 4 years years ago. Following a car accident from which I developed upper back and neck pain, namely trigger points, I was referred to San Diego Sports Medicine Physical Therapy. My experience there did not impress me. I felt like a number, was given a sheet of paper with a bunch of exercises to follow. When I walked out, I didn't feel like I wanted to come back. "If this is what physical therapy is like, I don't think I want to do this. I'll just do my own thing", I thought. I shared my experience with a relative who happened to be a patient of Dr. Todd's. She spoke very highly of his quality of care and practice in general. She recommended I call to make an appointment. I'm so glad I did! It's now been approximately two and a half years on and off under Dr. Todd's care for a series of issues: trigger points, De Quervain Syndrome and sciatic pain. In each of these respects, Dr. Todd has done careful assessments and then moved on to offering a treatment plan that has included a combination of stretching, manipulation, massage, heat and electrical stimulation. And it doesn't end there. As I came to realize, wellness depends on continuing the care at home. To this end, Dr. Todd offers practical (and realistic) stretches and/or exercises to carry out on one's own time. Among Dr. Todd's advanced credentials, he is a certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist. In other words, he does "adjustments" whenever needed. Getting adjusted has come to be an added benefit to the care he provides. Under Dr. Todd's care, I have recovered full range of motion and my pain has diminished greatly. I have learned more about my symptoms and the sources of my pain. More importantly, I know what to do at home to manage my wellness. Cheers to the crown jewel of physical therapy for Southern-southern California: Performance Plus Physical Therapy!! Dr. Todd also has an acute clinical eye for recruiting the best doctors to his practice. Case in point: Dr. Jenny Santamaria. During COVID we discovered we were eligible for many physical therapy sessions through our insurance. Simultaneously, we were looking for physical therapy care for our 5 y/o boy. He has mild Cerebral Palsy that is reflected in constant tightness in one of his legs (hyper-tonic). He has been under physical therapy care with county services for the last 3-4 years. We broached the topic with Dr. Todd and he recommended one of his staff, Dr. Jenny Santamaria. He said Dr. Jenny has a concentration in pediatric physical therapy. She is a young and cheery individual. Dr. Jenny and our son quickly developed a rapport. She implemented an array of fun activities that targeted his problem areas. It has been very gratifying to see our son both enjoy himself and receive quality care from Dr. Jenny. I highly recommend Dr. Jenny for pediatric physical therapy. Thanks Dr. Jenny! read more

Don't look anywhere else for physical therapy! You will be so happy you chose Performance Plus. Vivian at the desk is so helpful and welcoming. Todd will get you back to where you need to be. Todd is professional, experienced, friendly, and compassionate with just enough tough love to get you breaking barriers! 3 weeks after knee surgery my mother's bend was barely hitting 60 degrees... with just two weeks at Performance Plus, Todd got her bending to 105 degrees! Incredible. We will continue to recommend his services even when We no longer need them:)! read more

Hands down, five stars!! The best PT experience I've ever had with recovering my first injury (low back). Worker's comp injury where weeks of taking medicine was ineffective and i was very fearful to do any activities of daily living. After many sessions of targeting the low back pain + strengthening excercises, I am confident and better than ever before! Thank you Todd for helping me through my recovery. This is a MUST go to place for any injury involving bones, muscles, joints! Ambiance is very therapeutic and the staff is very caring. Thanks again Performance Plus read more

I love it here! They are professional, extremely kind, and they listen!!! My back and neck was stiff and sore for weeks and I felt almost 100% better after the second appointment. Both therapists are awesome and the rest of the staff are all very welcoming. Thank you guys!!! I love that they are so knowledgeable and it shows how much they love their work by how they treat and take care of their patients. read more

If you are looking for an excellent Physical Therapist, look no further! I first met Todd last spring when I was having neck pain and right shoulder/arm radiculopathy. I continued to see him for therapy after my surgery for a cervical spine fusion. He helped me recover and get back to work with the exercises he taught me. I'm currently seeing him again for my right shoulder hoping to get it strong enough to avoid surgery. He is extremely knowledgeable with what he teaches and is such a nice person. You can really tell he cares about helping his patients get better again. Hands down the best Physical Therapist I have encountered! read more

Todd, Sean, and their entire TEAM are most excellent!!! I've been to various physical therapist in the past and I will never go to another therapist again. My visits always include exercises, massage, ice and stim. Plus, it's FAMILY friendly! I've brought my toddler many times during my appointments. It helps me when I can't find a babysitter. On behalf of my entire family who go there, THANK YOU Performance Therapy team for keeping all of us on track to full recovery!! read more

When I first visited Dr. Todd Sparks at Performance Plus Physical Therapy in Imperial Beach about 6 weeks ago I could hardly move my left arm without pain. Since seeing Dr. Todd twice a week my pain barely registers. The facility is pleasant and extremely clean and Dr. Todd is easy to talk to and he explains my situation in terms that I understand. Everyone at Performance Plus is very professional and personable. read more

Performance physical therapy is the best PT clinic I have been in San Diego, in fact this is my 3rd time going to Dr Todd Sparks. He is a very professional Therapist. read more

Ready for the road to recovery! Today was my first time into Performance Plus Physical Therapy and my first time being treated by Dr. Todd Sparks. I have issues with my IT Band and hips, which makes my love of running sometimes feel less like freedom and more like a chore. Dr. Sparks taught me some hands on exercises to do at home and his knowledge and experience of the human anatomy gave me the confidence that I will be out there running pain free in no time. I already booked out my next few sessions with him and unlike the previous PT places I have been to, I am really looking forward to coming back! Thanks again Dr. Sparks! You rock! read more

I had a hip replacement almost two years ago resulting in a leg length discrepancy. Dr. Sparks has been very effective with a combination of strength training, massage and stretching to help reduce the pain. The staff is very friendly and responsive to customers needs. They definitely know their stuff and I highly recommend PPPT! read more

I have had peripheral neuropathy for the past four years. My neurologist gave me drugs and no hope; however, I decided (against his advice) to try physical therapy. It helped some three years ago, but then my insurance plan ran out so I had to stop going. About four months ago I started going to PT for my back and that's when I met Todd Sparks. He helped me immensely with my back, so I decided to see if there was something he could do about my feet (where the neuropathy manifests itself). My insurance re-approved PT for my neuropathy and my improvement is has been incredible. I could not walk barefoot prior to starting PT with Todd. I can now walk barefoot across the hardwood floor, baby steps I know, but they are steps! I'm looking forward to how much more improvement I can make at Performance Plus Physical Therapy! read more

I have issues with neck pain and have seen many PTs and had many massages, but Todd is the only one that has helped me to be pain free. I drive a very long distance to see him and it's worth every mile. I only need to see him when my neck acts up about once a year and after one treatment from Todd I am pain free and it lasts! He really knows his stuff and I always tell him that he has magic hands because he can go right to the painful spots in my neck and get them calmed down. I am happy to see that he has finally opened his own PT practice! The location is easy to find, the parking is great and they take all kinds of insurance. I know you will not be disappointed! read more

My son recently completed physical therapy with Todd for a back injury. The entire experience was GREAT! Todd and his team are all very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. My son was able to take away a lot of great information, stretches and exercises that will help him throughout his athletic career. I highly recommend Performance Plus to anyone needing physical therapy!! read more
