peter and all staff are wonderful they have been working with me for a total hip replacement, and everyone has been amazing also the lovely ladies in the front desk. read more

I went to Performance Plus after a total knee replacement and had a great experience with Sarah Suggs and the entire team. As a former collegiate athlete, I've been to a lot of PT clinics and this is one of the best. The PTs and aides are knowledgeable, patient, and fun. Myra at the front desk is organized and kind - my schedule and insurance referrals were always squared away. Sarah was a huge part of the fact that I was able to return to sport within 5 months of surgery. She was very invested in my recovery, challenging me with new and sport-specific exercises that helped me get stronger at each appointment. I would highly recommend PPPT others. read more

Todd Sparks is extremely knowledgeable, caring, thorough and thoughtful. I've been to most of the physical therapy locations in San Diego and had almost given up hope until I was recommended Performance Plus. Each session I am getting better and stronger, I notice the difference his massages and exercise plans have on the way I walk. Try him out for a 2-4 weeks and you will notice an improvement. By the way, his massages are also the best! I also recommend Tiffany if you have the chance of meeting her when she comes back. Oh, and in terms of COVID sanitation practices, they are all wearing masks, clean the beds after each usage, wash their hands before moving on to another patient, and have us distanced apart! They do routine temperature checks and take your wrist's temperature. Safety precautions are good here! Lastly, one thing that also distinguishes them from others is that everyone who works here is friendly and will watch you throughout your exercise and offer corrections! Other places left a timer, walked away and only came back when you're done. Not here! You will get advice on proper form and adjustments if you cannot do the exercise given. The conversations with the clients also makes us feel more appreciated and welcome :) read more

What a rare find! I started my PT with Performance Plus+ about a year ago with a Rt. knee injury then lower back, neck and shoulder and now Lt. knee and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Todd the owner runs a very clean and professional clinic. Jennifer was my therapist and was so informative, gentle (well sometimes ) and persistent in my healing. Thank you so much Jen. Janel was her assistant and honestly if I wasn't informed I would've thought she was one of the doctors of physical therapy here also. She was very knowledgeable regarding all of my exercises and pushed me to do better. I was told by my Workers Comp doctor that if I was either very mad at or very terrified of my physical therapist that they were doing their job right. Well here it's an exception, I truly enjoy coming here twice a week and am not looking forward to my last visit. Thank you all for what you do. read more

Performance Plus Physical Therapy - Dr Sparks and Maya - Physical Therapy Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

See all

First of all, let me start off by saying Todd Sparks and his entire staff is amazing!! About 6 months ago I ran up a ramp wall at a trampoline park and completely ruptured my Achilles' tendon. I knew right away it was a completely torn. I am a pretty active 38 year old male and train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at least 3-4 days a week. So once I realized what happened I was devastated because I know how long the healing process is for that type of injury. To put in into perspective, if a professional basketball player suffers the same injury they're normally out for 1-2 seasons and when they come back they're never the same. On average they typically retire within 2 years of coming back from the injury. After my surgery I was referred to Todd Sparks at Performance Plus. He came highly recommended by 2 different people that didn't know each other so I called him and decided to give it a shot. In the initial consultation he spent well over an hour explaining the recovery process on type of injury I had and went over the game plan. He had to get through to me that there is no magic pill regarding therapy and I had to go through the motions and trust the process. Todd and his entire staff are amazing at what they do! Todd is especially great with soft tissue work and great with creating excellent exercises that isolate the area to improve range of motion and strengthen the muscles around the injury. That way it helps promote a healthy and balanced body so you don't over compensate and injure a different area on the opposite side (which happens a lot from a major injury). It's been about 6 months post surgery and I am now back to training jiu jitsu about 4 days a week and exercising regularly. I am also about ready to start implementing running into my routine as well. I can't thank Todd, Gio and their team enough for all they're guidance and help through this process. I will continue to see them once per week. I'm also thankful that they were open during Covid as well. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing physical therapist team. You won't regret it. read more

This place is amazing. Three of my family members go there and after 2 years of chronic pain they begged me to try! Todd spent over an hour evaluating me and was honest that I would need to put in some hard work to make progress, but even after 1 appointment I'm feeling better. Front desk staff was also very friendly and helpful. Grateful for this new place in IB! read more

If outstanding patient care is what you are seeking either post op, pain management or overall well-being then Performance Plus Physical Therapy is your place. I have been through PT for many injuries, using both civilian and military and this business is hands down top notch. Dr. Todd and Dr. Gio are professionals in their field who have a keen understanding of each individuals needs. I can not speak highly enough about the care I have received. Currently Dr. Todd is addressing some aggravating neck issues I'm struggling with and he is literally changing my life for the better. I'm able to go long distances on the back of a Harley at speeds we won't discuss with little neck trouble. Thank you PPPT for your professionalism, knowledge and kindness. So happy to have you in IB!!! read more

Dr Todd and his team are amazing!! In just two appointments, I have already made more progress and have received more one on one attention than I did in ten visits at another PT facility! I'm greeted by my preferred/nickname by each employee and made to feel like I matter versus just being a number or a quick source of revenue. read more

Incredibly knowledgeable team and amazing atmosphere. They truly are masters of their craft. I have been working with Sarah on an injury that has plagued me for far too long. Saw a surgeon who naturally recommended surgery. Attended this clinic as a last ditch effort to avoid surgery and I'm back to 99% of activity. You'd be remiss if you didn't give them a go!!! read more

I've seen Dr. Todd Sparks as my physical therapist for several injuries over the past 3 years as well as a couple of other doctors on his staff. I have always returned to his office because of the professionalism, caring attitude of everyone on staff, family-type atmosphere, and of course the great results I have had from therapy that have helped me return to a somewhat normal life again. If you are needing physical therapy, please do yourself a favor and make an appointment here. You will be valued and cared about not only as a patient, but as a person. THANK YOU Dr. Todd and staff! 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

Dr. Todd and Dr. Geo are amazingly gifted. My doctor recommended them--and now my husband and I--and our son (who has cerebral palsy) benefit from Performance Plus. We are so very grateful. Go--you deserve it! read more

This place is amazing. I went in on a knee scooter and now a month later I'm walking I feel great I feel stronger. The staff is amazing and you feel at home when your there. They care about you and really want what's best for you. I love this place and highly recommend coming here if you want the best outcome and if you want that one on one experience read more

I was lucky enough to be referred to Dr. Todd Sparks at Performance Plus Physical Therapy in Imperial Beach recently. This location is new, it's a very clean, happy, positive place to go to work on your physical (and mental) wellness. Dr Todd and all the staff I worked up were very professional, caring and all the treatments I received really made a difference. Every treatment I had was different, you don't just do the same exercises each time, they really put a lot of energy and thought into what might help you get to a better place physically. I would highly recommend this business for all your physical therapy needs! read more

This is by far the best physical therapy place I have ever been to! I have been having shoulder and hip issues for years and I was HIGHLY recommended to go to Todd. I finally made an appointment and after a week, I feel SO MUCH BETTER! He is such a great physical therapist that I drive down from Los Angeles just to see him. The facility is nice and clean and the staff is extremely kind. Todd goes above and beyond during each session to make sure he understands exactly how I am doing and what needs to be done. He spends the entire appointment with me and he spends lots of time massaging the affected area. He gives great advice and recommends exercises that actually WORK! And let's say you forget them, he not only writes the exercises down, you can also find them on their YouTube channel.. I have been to many physical therapists and I truly will look no more! THIS PLACE IS A MIRACLE! So grateful for Todd! read more
