Walked in unable to continue on as a top competitor in my sport. I had already been under amazing chiropractic care but needed very specific sports chiro care and thus was referred by my sponsor to Dr. Joe. Professional, highly skilled on multi-faceted levels, inviting, honest, positive, a great communicator, and one who thrives on thinking outside of the box to make YOU better! That's Dr. Joe! Most of all, he is extremely effective at drawing upon his expertise to solve the puzzle- to find what others have been unable to find and then to take it to another level and apply therapy in a way that will be conducive to your specific need or sport. Dr. Joe's practice is clean, inviting, and has all the rehab equipment needed to get better in a gym-like atmosphere (in addition to the standard clinical patient rooms). The atmosphere is positive and actually quite fun if you're an athlete! It took time for me to get well but Dr. Joe's treatment helped me not only get back to my sport but help me become the National Champion for my division for USA Masters Track and Field, 400M Sprint, July 2026! Not only am I a USA Champion, I feel sooo much better and I am actually a bit faster after treatment!! In need? This elite sprinter recommends Podium Sports Performance! Thanks so much Dr. Joe! See you soon for follow-up treatments to solidify my recovery and be at my optimum for World Masters Championships with TeamUSA! God's great blessings to you, your family and your business! read more

I've been a client of Podium Sports Performance in Upland, and under the care of Dr. Joe Jaime, my experience has been nothing short of transformative. He is not only a skilled chiropractor but a true sports healer who blends deep expertise with genuine care. I suffered a neck injury in Jiu Jitsu that gave me nagging pain that just wouldn't go away. I've been to other chiropractors before. You tell them what's wrong, then they proceed to adjust you everywhere irrelevant to what you complained about and you're out of there in 10 min. I mean how many of you experienced this? It's disappointing. Dr. Jaime was able to tailor a regimen to relieve the aggravating place in my spine and tense muscles that was causing the pain in my neck. Through applying chiropractics, deep tissue massage, specific stretching techniques and showing me exercises to do at home I was finally able to get some relief. Phew! Can't thank Dr. Jaime enough. His hands been blessed with the healing touch. Thank you!! read more

We were searching for a skilled sports chiropractor for our daughter, who plays competitive tennis and trains an average of 3 hours a day, 6 days a week. She had been experiencing persistent back pain that was starting to interfere with her performance. From our first visit with Dr Joe Jaime, we were incredibly impressed by his ability to assess and pinpoint the root cause--without the use of imaging or lab tests. His diagnostic instincts are exceptional, and his treatments made a noticeable difference. Beyond his clinical expertise, he's also a kind and genuine person. We're deeply grateful for his care and support! read more

I am so thankful to have been seen by Dr. Joe, along with his student, at Podium Sports Performance. I initially experienced lower back pain for a few weeks thinking that it would go away, as it had in the past, but this time, pain progressively got worse where I could barely move. I had been walking slowly for a few days to avoid further pain, and it was painful just to cough or sneeze. Medications had not alleviated any of the pain. When I came in for my first visit with Dr. Joe, I found out that the problem area started with my pelvis/hip area. I left the first session with much better mobility and I finally felt pain relief enough to comfortably move! I just finished my third session and am almost as good as new! Dr. Joe continues to assess my current situation at the beginning of and during each session. His jokes make the environment more relaxed and comfortable. What I love most is that he provides me transitioning movements, daily exercises, and proper positioning and movements during gym workouts so that I avoid further pain and problems in the future! His knowledge and expertise in the field of athletics/sports, along with his years of chiropractic experience, has really helped my progress. I am truly thankful for his help and all that he does! read more

I threw out my back doing dead lifts a few months ago. After being in denial for two weeks after the incident I finally decided to see a chiropractor. My original appointment was with another Chiropractor in Montclair. The day before my appointment I had a weird feeling and canceled the appointment and made a reservation with Dr. Joe. And I'm so glad I did. Dr. Joe performed an overall assessment, then focused on my hip joints which weren't moving to their full range of motion. Dr. Joe worked on the tissue area then adjusted my hips and gave me a few exercises to strength my glutes and hip area to support my back. Three sessions later, my back pain is minimal, I've gone back to working out and the exercises have made a difference in my glutes and core strength. I highly recommend Dr. Joe and will refer him to all my friends and family. read more

I have been going for a couple months now to see Dr. Joe Jamie. Significant difference within the first session not only in treatment for my shoulder pain but I givin the knowledge to work on my progress from home. Exercises and stretches that I can continue to work on with strengthening myself while not harming myself like I had been before Podium Sports. Thank you! read more

No matter what your ailment, make an appointment with Dr. Joe today! He's so in tune with the human body and has multiple approaches for concerns. He may try a technique and if it doesn't provide the relief you hope or he anticipates, he knows alternative methods or makes adjustments to the treatment. Everyone responds differently, so treatment is tailored to each individual's ability and tolerances. The science is the same, but his approach is customized to your needs/comfort level. He is so friendly yet extremely professional. You get fantastic expert care with great bedside manner. Lots of healthcare professionals tend to forget that balance. So go. Go now. No need to live in pain and discomfort--trying to compensate by using other parts of your body or adjusting HOW you do daily activities only can make the bad worse and the rest of your body pays for it too--not to mention your mental wellbeing. read more

If it were appropriate to compare Dr Jaime to a faith healer, I would. He's not as dramatic as smacking you on the forehead and saying you are healed but that's what I will liken it to. I have had chronic neck and back pain that has been progressing for 20 years. After seeking relief through countless other fruitless avenues, I am thrilled to be so optimistic. For the first time in forever, my pain is reduced and there is marked improvement. I finally have hope that in the near future I will be able to resume all the activities like tennis and snow skiing that I have not physically been able to do. He listens to you and tailors his approach specifically for you. He has knowledge in a variety of techniques and will use his expertise in all of them to find the right treatment for you. read more

I can not rave enough about Dr. Jaime's skills. I was rear ended in a car accident over 15 years ago. Dr. Jamie has been the only doctor to significantly improve my mobility, decrease 95% of my pain and improve my range of motion. He doesn't just fix the problem, he finds the root cause. read more

Let me just start by saying how thankful I am that I was referred to Dr Joe Jaime. Ever since my Spartan training days my injuries had started to come back. This last time I had the worst sciatic nerve issue arise. I was in so much pain that I couldn't even walk. Joe scheduled me in and I literally could not walk with a straight back. The first visit was truly a miracle. I was able to walk out of the office with less pain and of course still tender but it was exactly what I needed. By my second visit I had less pain and able to walk normal. I will forever be thankful to Joe for all his help! read more

Dr. Jaime is THE chiropractor to visit. He is super knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, professional, and practices safety and cleanliness in the office. I came to Dr Jaime with a low back issue and he fixed me in two sessions! He works hard not only to solve the issue, but ensures clients learn how to maintain a healthy lifestyle and prevent injuries. read more

Sean took care of an ongoing knee issue in one visit. I had been dealing with a weird knee pain for about 8 months and couldn't find relief. He diagnosed, treated, and corrected in about 90 mins. It's been over a month, everything is holding up as it should! read more

Addressed my diagnosis and beyond! Sean is awesome! Have had many PT trips in my life, but Sean is one smart man and can talk to you where you can understand and make you feel more than a patient. Very friendly and comfortable spot! Highly recommend to anyone that asks! read more

I started seeing Dr. Jaime after I was experiencing lower back pain due to CrossFit and standing all day as a hairstylist. I came to see Dr. Jamie and 4 weeks later I feel brand new!! He also gives you strengthening exercises to do at home or at the gym to rehabilitate in between sessions. Highly recommended and he makes you feel comfortable if you've never seen a chiropractor! Thanks for helping my back feel better!!! read more

Sean and Tony are amazing!!! They helped my teenage soccer player rehab her knee and then go through preventative physical therapy and strength training to make sure she went back on the field stronger and better than ever before. I have been so impressed with my daughters results- I decided to send my youngest one there as well. The best part is that my kids LOVE going!!! They take the initiative to make sure they get there early because they enjoy it so much. I highly recommend for all growing and/or injured athletes !!! read more

I've been working with Dr. Joe Jaime for a couple of sessions, after dealing with chronic it band/potential nerve entrapment issues for the past year. From the very first session, I could tell that he's extremely knowledgeable about his field and the anatomy of the human body. He's also really skilled with the active release technique, and knows what he's doing when it comes to manipulations and soft tissue treatment. Dr. Jaime obviously truly cares a lot about his patients, which is the general vibe at Podium Sports. I really like working with Dr. Jaime, and am confident in his skills and treatment modalities. I trust him as a health care professional, which I didn't necessarily feel working with different providers in the past. If you have any kind of sports related or even non sports related chronic pain/issue, give Dr. Jaime a try. You won't regret it, he knows his stuff. read more

This review is meant for both Tony Cortez as well as Dr. Joe Jaime, both of which I have been lucky enough to work with here in Claremont. First, the facility. Spotless and sterile with all of the strength and conditioning equipment anyone could need to run an effective training center that brings clients from start to finish. I first worked with Dr Jaime on my mobility and flexibility-- and let's just say we found more than I could've imagined that over the years I had neglected or been unaware of. Weird movements in my hands, overworked ankle and soleus muscles, etc etc etc. I could spend the entire review listing the somewhat minor problems I had that were contributing to my overall fatigue and inability to progress at the gym. Unlike what most people think of a chiropractor as being, this wasn't all "popping" and "snapping." He targeted my specific areas, and focused on only the issues that I had. This was great for two reasons, we were 1. Able to continue onto more areas to fix during the session but 2. I was also able to see how minor issues in my left ankle (for example) were contributing to issues with my workouts. The main benefit to working with Dr. Jaime has been the consistency. It's only one session at the end of the month, and I feel refreshed and recharged for the coming month. Each session I have felt more things "click" back into place, and most importantly: I haven't had a bad workout in 3 months. I just feel in tune with myself again after years of neglect, and that's something that I've never been able to get from a massage therapist. This is permanent, lasting help. The great thing about this place is that I am able to literally walk out of the chiropractor office into the gym area where I can immediately begin to fix the bad habits I've created from years of sub par movement. Working with Tony on the intricacies of how to make my Squat or Olympic Lift better has made this place the whole package for me. Simple cues, and the results have been speaking for themselves. He is able to adapt any athlete, or lay person, and tailor a command to them to help them to understand their own body. Where I was before struggling, I am now excelling after years of stagnation. Had I had him as a sports specialist in high school for sports, I'd have been winning Gold in Olympic Swimming. There is no team better, especially in this area, that I would trust with myself or my kids or even clients at work that complain of an achey back or neck. read more

If you are looking for a great place to find relief and feel as if your overall well-being is a priority, this is the place for you! I never regret coming and always leave feeling better than when I walked in! read more

I have worked with Sean Gateley, DPT a number of times over the past year to help me rehab what turned out to be a back problem and related dysfunctional breathing pattern causing contractions in my diaphragm during running. After multiple misdiagnoses by other doctors and chiropractors, and a year and a half not running... I have been so grateful to find Sean. He has helped me find a pretty simple solution to what I thought was a death sentence to running. I'm happily back to 25 mile weeks. Sean is easy to work with, friendly, a good listener, very thorough, and willing to try different interventions until you find what works right. If you're willing to put the time in to heal, he can help you get there! ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND SEEING HIM! read more

Excellent Service and very knowledgeable. Helped with my lower back and shoulder pain. Highly recommend. Takes his time explaining everything and takes a very systematic approach to helping the problem areas. read more

Can I just say that Sean Gateley is one of the most wonderful people to work with! As a professional athlete (long jump / triple jump) he has somehow managed to keep me in one piece, which is honestly an impressive feat. His knowledge is incredible and every visit is a joy. Sean and his partners are incredibly kind people who care about more than making money. They all feel like friends! I truly feel lucky to have found this place and I tell all my fellow athletes to check him out when they have issues! read more

I have my friend to thank for referring me over to Dr. Jaime. She's been going to him for years and I guess so will I now from now on! I've been having a nagging back injury for a couple of months and as a physician I have to say I was very impressed with the level of detail and attention that Dr Jaime spent on the history and eval. The most impressive thing was that he didn't just listen, he actually really paid attention and remembered all the details of it too! I've never tried ART before but I think for problems that are way more complex than a simple misalignment it's the way to go. I've been blown off so often by other chiros, who just start adjusting away without actually listening. His technique definitely requires a lot more effort and time but I think that also goes to show how he really cares for you to get better. His level of knowledge of the entire musculoskeletal system is pretty impressive! I was definitely better after just 3 treatments and wish I had gone a couple more times but my work schedule sadly has been getting in the way of that! Definitely give him a try guys!! read more

I wanted to write a review on both Dr. Joe Jaime, DC and Dr. Sean Gateley, DPT at Podium Sports Performance because I am so grateful for how much they've helped me. I am a former volleyball player who began seeking care in my mid 20's due to chronic back pain. I suffered from lower back pain and upper back/neck tension; I felt really uncomfortable in my body and at this time could barely go a month without getting a massage. I was referred to Dr. Gateley through word of mouth around the same time frame I had an outstanding appointment for a physical therapy eval. through my insurance. Dr. Sean Gateley diagnosed me with SI Joint Dysfunction. He did a thorough evaluation and explanation of the condition; he was very knowledgeable. This diagnosis brought me tremendous relief knowing there was a culprit behind my pain and discomfort. I decided to go to my other physical therapy appointment through my insurance out of curiosity; the physical therapist was not engaged and did not come up with a diagnosis. I AM SO LUCKY I heard about Podium and got a correct diagnosis thanks to Sean. Sean did manual therapy on me to "unlock" my stuck joint and worked on some of the other implicated tissue. He also gave me a personalized exercise program to help me retrain my body and prevent my SI joint from locking up. Due to a scheduling convenience, I also ended up seeing Dr. Joe Jaime at Podium, and I'm so glad I did! He has really helped me get to the next level!! When I saw Joe I had not been doing my exercises and was back to experiencing lower back pain and upper back/neck tension. He did his own eval. and confirmed my diagnosis. He did adjustments, Active Release Treatment (ART), and provided exercises. He only adjusts what's necessary unlike the one-size-fits-all approach taken by other chiros. His treatment modalities were very effective at relieving my pain and discomfort, and he helped re-motivate me to doing my exercises. He has a very fun and encouraging personality. Eventually, thanks to Joe's treatment and my consistency, I was able to rehab. my dysfunctional joint!! Additionally, Joe as has helped me reduce my upper back/neck pain and tension which was likely computer and posture related. I am doing much better now. Lastly, I appreciate that he took my concerns over covid seriously and provided a clean and safe environment for me to receive treatment. Working with Podium has helped me be proactive rather than reactive with my health; I no longer need to chase pain with massages. It has been very empowering and has really made a HUGE difference in my life. I am delighted to share my experience to direct others toward these pros.!! read more

I began treatment with Dr. Jaime after a referral from my coach. I suffer from fibromyalgia, as well as, previous injuries to my back, neck, shoulder and knee. This includes two back surgeries and a knee surgery. I am obviously advanced in age (56 yrs.) since it takes time to do this type of damage to a body. Dr. Jaime was able to eliminate the pain in my neck and shoulder and decrease the overall pain from the fibromyalgia. I have previously only received traditional medical treatment for all my ailments which included medication and long wait times to see a doctor to prescribe those. I have never had this much relief from pain and increased mobility from any treatment I previously received. I have always been skeptical to receive treatment from a chiropractor, especially since I have a spinal fusion but I have to say that it has been the best thing I have done for my body. I highly recommend Dr. Jaime. read more

This review is for Dr. Joe Jaime. I just started seeing him due to shoulder and back issues. He explains things really well and will take the time needed to ensure the patient is comfortable with the approach he is taking. He uses non-medical terms to ensure understanding. I feel he partners with me to explore what would work best for me, rather than dictating what will be done. read more

As a "retired" division 1 track and field athlete, it is difficult to find affordable services with people who understand athletics. Sean at Podium fulfilled this need! I've transitioned from track events to racing marathons and the new volume and load that the training places on the body requires maintenance work on aches and pains that pop up. Sean is one text away and always makes time in his schedule to see me! He was essential in helping me run a Boston Marathon qualifying time and I look forward to continuing to work with him. His knowledge is unmatched and he truly cares about you as a person and athlete. read more

Before finding Dr. Jaime, I had seen a long list of GPs, specialists, and chiropractors for my work-related mid back pain, all with mixed results. Dr. Jaime blew them all out of the water. It was immediately apparent that he's on the cutting edge in his field, both in knowledge and technique, and he drew on that to develop a personally tailored treatment program for me that has significantly improved my condition. Aside from the targeted soft tissue therapy he provides in office, he also focuses on self-sufficiency, giving you various exercises and techniques you can do on your own time in order to speed your recovery and minimize doctor visits in the future. If you're having issues with persistent pain, trigger points, muscle tightness, or bad posture, or if you're looking for a trustworthy ART or Graston/scraping practitioner, look no further. read more

Sean aka Tank and ITO are my rocks! I am a USA track and field and USA bobsled athlete and podium has not only rehabbed my back to my first USA national team, but they showed me what is it truly like to have faith in others when you are broken. Mentally and physically I come back stronger and with out the love of this group my dreams would not be reality. You won't find any better humans in sports performance read more

The team is amazing. They have a variety of therapy and strength training options and all are experts and long time professionals. Kind of a hidden gem.

Sean Gateley diagnosed and treated my daughters ankle injury on the spot and had awesome bed side manner to explain everything to us thoroughly. He is super knowledgeable and his Physical therapy is infinitely better than the others because he uses many focused treatments. I highly recommend Podium! read more

Dr. Sean and Coach Tony are next level game changers and the reason our son is back on the soccer field after his ACL surgery. We knew we were in the best hands about 5 minutes after walking in the doors at Podium. Dr. Sean has a gift. His ability to turn painful sessions into moments of growth is remarkable. His confidence, knowledge and friendly disposition makes every athlete and their families feel comfortable. It just doesn't get any better than Dr. Sean! Coach Tony is so much more than a Strength Coach. He's a mentor and motivator. Recovery is not easy on any athlete. Tony immediately zoned in on those moments of frustration and coached our son through them. He turned setbacks into teachable moments and gave our son the confidence needed to keep pushing forward. After 5 months at Podium, our son is stronger than he's ever been, physically and emotionally. Dr. Sean and Tony are the "what's good" that comes out of an injury. They are our "Dream Team" and will be with our son throughout his athletic experience. read more

Sean Gateley is absolutely phenomenal. His knowledge and expertise in human movement, performance, and recovery is unmatched in his field. When I was competing at Azusa Pacific University, he was always the first one I called! He was an integral piece in my 2 NCAA division II National Championships and 2016 Olympic trial qualifier. Not only is Sean an expert in his field but his heart and passion for his athletes is gold. read more
