The environment at RISE is comfortable and welcoming. I was being treated by Nick for an achilles tear and spent several months working with him. He is caring and very much knows how to provide quality care. I enjoyed the time with him talking about various topics and especially sports. I highly recommend Nick! read more

I recently tore my Achilles and did my physical therapy at Rise in Carlsbad with Nick. He was incredible and got me back to all my activities extremely quick. Overall amazing experience through and through. read more

I've been seeing Laney and Ryan at Rise Physical Therapy for the last 4 weeks. They have helped eliminate my back spasms and ease my low back pain using different methods of soft tissue massage. It feels amazing! They're also training me on various stretches to loosen my tight back muscles, hips, and thighs. Most are simple enough to do at my home gym, at a desk, and some are easy enough to do while I brush my teeth! I have two Spartan races in the next two weeks so they're helping me build my strength back with weight training. If you're experiencing pain and need physical therapy, I recommend Rise Physical Therapy in Carlsbad. The staff is so friendly and very knowledgeable. Your PT only works on you for the entire appointment. Your first appointment will be a full assessment. Go here if you want to feel better. read more

I want to thank RISE for helping me get back to my daily life. I see why the office gets such a high rating, I was treated by Doctor of PT Nickolas Boyol, his knowledge and bedside manner deserve a review on its own. I'm sure to recommend you guys to my friends and family. read more

In addition to the excellent regenerative medical treatment and care that I have received from Dr. Christopher Rogers, I highly recommend Physical Therapist Zac Vano located in their physical therapy center. Zac is affiliated with R.I.S.E. Physical Therapy Services. Our sessions last for 55 minutes, and I always find when there is a particular area that needs attention, Zac is consistently able to find just the right exercise or stretch that will solve the problem. I have been working with Zac for approximately one year on a regular basis, which is what my particular problem requires. Since I started working with Zac, the quality of my life has greatly improved. I can't recommend Zac's ability as a qualified Physical Therapist highly enough. read more

There are times when one needs special, personalized care. R. I. S.E was recommended to me by my spine specialist. It has been the best recommendation I could have received. I have been working with Nick Boyol for a while now. Nick is extremely knowledgeable about the sensitivity of the care I need. He asks the right questions, shows me helpful exercise, stretches and the correct way to do them and how often to do them daily. I highly recommend Nick, and I highly recommend R. I. S. E. Physical Therapy. Sincerely, Joanne Melton read more

awesome customer service and very professional physical therapists who are patient and knowledgeable

Very good support and training. Enjoyed my time with them. Ask for Nick in Carlsbad.

I went here for several months and I had a horrible experience from beginning to end first of all I was put with a student for like the first 23 months he actually was really good in in the end but I was never like overseen by anybody else and I never seem to improve and then I got sick so I had to takeoff for a short time and I was came back and there was another person that I had to see And I felt like they weren't really helping me as much as even the student and they decided that I was just done seeing them even though I am still in a lot of pain I also had an incident where I got hit by the door coming in and it was really painful and I was still in pain with my shoulder from the incident and that no one even seem to care offered me ice when I told them about it! It was very dark and not good environment! Very disappointed! So I had a discrepancy where they almost charged me money I didn't know because I had canceled and I had a lot of issues the staff was constantly changing in just a short time I was there also! read more

Michael is awesome. I had a lot of pain in my right knee and our company's health coach suggested I visit him. I was able to get worked into Michael's schedule on short notice and took advantage of that. We sat down for a short while and he quickly determined what my issue was and immediately went to work. I walked out an hour later feeling 80% better. It was miraculous. No meds or cortisone shots - solely stretching, massaging and manual manipulation were all he prescribed. I followed up with the exercises (actually stretches) Michael provided each day. I went for a one week follow up today and will be returning to my hike/run tomorrow. I'm also going to be maintaining my stretches and exercises and am confident that my knee is going to recover perfectly. I highly recommend RISE and Michael. I won't say I look forward to returning, because that's going to mean I am hurt again. But if I do, the care I receive will be top notch. read more

I had returned home from a long trip to Europe and Israel which entailed daily walks on pebbles and high uneven stair ways and street surfaces. Consequently both my knees became swollen and painful; particularly my left knee. It was hard for me to walk, move and climb stairs. My doctor referred me to Rise Physical Therapy. I saw Robin at Carlsbad location. She seemed both gentle and an attentive listener. She worked on my knee and found the exact location of the injury. Based on her diagnoses Robin began a series of treatment. It was such a relief to have the feeling that I was receiving treatment from a skillful, competent and gentle therapist. Today, I attended a total of five sessions and have a few more to attend. Robin has been enhancing the strength on my hips which has contributed to my knee pain. Additionally, while I have not directly worked with other therapist at Rise, due to open space area, I have noticed the other therapist being very caring. Special appreciation to front desk person who meets me with friendly smile and high level professionalism. Thanks to Robin my knee swelling is gone. The pain has improved considerably. For the first time after some years my back is pain free. Thank you Robin. read more

Extremely knowledgeable. Very thorough and professional! Looking forward to improvement for the first time in several months. Thanks Zac.

I've been to many PT places and this is by far the best. The physical therapists really know what they are doing and you get a full hour with the same person every time. Royal is such a sweetheart and is great at coming up with exercises that I can able to do without causing flare ups. He's also wonderful at soft tissue work and know right where to dig in! read more

I'm over 40 and an active competitor in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournaments... the only reason I'm able to compete at a high level is the high quality of care that I get at Rise Physical Therapy... They are particularly great because of their holistic approach to therapy... they always give me a full hour of treatment and they have a wide variety of equipment and space... One great touch is that they always send me short videos of my prescribed exercises which ensures that I'm doing them correctly... In short, the people at Rise are friendly and knowledgeable... most importantly the treatment is effective. Special thanks to Navid. read more

RISE Physical Therapy - Carlsbad - Thanks to Rise PT, I'm able to be an active Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitor at age 40+!!! - Physical Therapy Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I have a particular condition that has demanded periodic Physical Therapy assistance over a number of years. I can state whole heartedly that the past 3-months of RISE-PT Carlsbad has proven to be the best experience I have encountered. Nicholas, was my PT thru-out and demonstrated professional knowledge and concern. I highly recommend him and this practice. read more

This place was awesome and helped my lower back so much I have minimal pain now. Very knowledgeable on their training plans and follow up. I learned a lot of exercises that I can use at home. read more

I've recently been getting a sharp pain in my shoulder after a night out playing volleyball. It got to the point where I was afraid of hitting the ball because I knew the pain would come later. Well I finally decided that I needed to get this fixed so I could play without worrying. I was able to see Brittany and she was awesome! She ran a couple of tests on me and determined that it was due to something with the nerve in my shoulder being inflammed because of the clavicle rubbing against it or something. We worked on a bunch of different exercises to strengthen my shoulder and it's gotten so much better! I've incorporated these exercises to my workout routine and these pain flareups are pretty much gone! Thank you so much Brittany!! read more

There are very few PT clinics that offer a full hour of one on one time with a highly trained doctor of physical therapy. Rise has an extremely compassionate and caring staff who go the extra mile to get you better. If you are looking for a place to really take the time with your injury and help you stay healthy long term this is the place. They also share their space with a gym so you will have access to state of the art fitness equipment. read more

Big shout out to RISE Physical Therapy and to Michael Hollstegge who helped me with my shoulder injury from dancing. He has also assisted me with my neck, back and knee following surgery this past year. I now have decreased pain, improved flexibility and the ability to continue to exercise at the level I desire. Many thanks to Michael and his wonderful RISE team. read more

I started physical therapy with Darren in Oceanside two weeks ago. Under his care and direction I've seen major improvement in the arthritis that is in my neck and thumb. He is extremely knowledgeable, very patient and has a gift for explaining everything that is going on with my condition and how to make improvements. If you're interested in 1st class professional care Darren is your guy! read more

Rise Physical Therapy Carlsbad was highly recommended. Richelle in the front office was most encouraging and helpful in setting me up as a new patient. Dr. Lauren Union, my PT, provided her undivided attention during each of my one-hour sessions, twice a week for more than 3 months and made a tremendous impact on my recovery. I'm very thankful to her that I am near full recovery from my injuries. Every person I dealt with at RISE was helpful, friendly, and concerned. This was by far the best experience I've had at physical therapy clinic! read more

After a surf injury I had pretty bad neck pain. My wife already went to this place before because of neck pain and she is pain free now. Michael is really knowledgeable and is listening to your problems. It's the best physical therapy place I have visited so far and I have been to quite a few because of neck, shoulder and back pain. The combination of soft tissue massage and exercises is well balanced. I definitely can recommend this place. read more

I had surgery on my shoulder and went here for physical therapy. Kelsey and Luke were both great in helping with the healing process!

I've had the pleasure of working with Rachel @ RISE. Aside from her endearing personality, she is one very talented physical therapist! Besides being a DPT, she knows how the body should work, move & function properly, due to her dance and yoga background. I had an adductor tear/strain (groin) as well as a shoulder impingement. Rachel worked her magic, and slowly but surely I began to feel better, and my pain decreased. She is amazing! The 'cage' is really something unique! The home exercises are quite helpful as well. In fact while writing this, I want to come back for a tune-up. Anyone that wants a fantastic Physical Therapy Group should check out RISE. Navid and his team are really top notch! Many Thanks to All, Keri N. read more

I had severe lower back pain after a lifting injury and was referred to Justin through a friend. It was the first time I had met him and he was very professional and made me feel very comfortable. He assessed the injury through a series of motions to ensure his services would be appropriate, provided hands-on low back stretches, and followed up with a series of simple yet highly effective exercises. His services provided me with instant relief and I really appreciated his willingness to keep in touch with me over the next couple weeks to keep track of my progress. When I heard Justin was going to be working at RISE, I knew they found a great addition to their team. As I am accident prone, I have no doubt I'll be seeing Justin again at RISE at I know I'll be in good hands. read more

My daughter, a dancer, became a patient at Rise for an ankle issue and she has received excellent care preoperatively as well as postoperatively. I've also been to Rise for back issues, as has my elderly father in law. In fact, his physician wanted to send him to another center but we insisted on Rise. And we sent my son, a tennis player, to Rise for arm and back strengthening. Clearly we are fans. The entire staff is outstanding, from schedulers to therapists. Brittany Revelle is absolutely the best physical therapist we have worked with.....and with young athletes we have seen a few! Brittany is motivating and knowledgeable....and a joy to be around. read more

Dr. Lauren Union of the Physical Therapy Department has impacted me significantly. She has been providing care to me for years and is always knowledgable, quick to listen to the details of my alignments, and thorough in walking me through next steps. She has treated me during pregnancy and postpartum with neck, hip and back issues. She deeply cares and continues to strive to learn more to help her patients. 5/5 recommend! read more

I was treated by Rachel for reoccurring back pain brought on by my work (sitting at a desk on the computer all day). I tried everything from massages, ROLFing, stretching, and more before going to RISE... Nothing worked. Certain things helped temporarily, but the pain always came back. Happy to say I'm pain free thanks to Rachel for the longest I have been in 2 years! Her approach was very thorough - she helped me with everything to creating a stretching/exercise routine, to helping me understand the proper desk set up (she even took the time to help me pick out some ergonomic chairs). I'm seriously so grateful for RISE and highly recommend anyone in pain or injured to go to them because they actually care about getting you back to health! read more

I have been seeing Martin at RISE Physical Therapy for just over 3 weeks and am now completely pain free for the first time in 14 months. At the first consultation, I was not only in excruciating physical pain and had not been able to work out in over 3 months, I was becoming depressed watching helplessly as my once healthy, strong body was weakening and making me feel trapped with no options but to gingerly try to make my way through each day. Martin listened very thoughtfully to my experiences leading up to the consultation and within 20 minutes diagnosed the issue. He made so much sense, educating and empowering me to start the process of recovering and easying back in to my beloved workouts and incredible peace of mind. I truly feel like I have my life back and I credit Martin with making that my reality! Thank you!!! read more

Brittany is amazing! It's been two years since suffering two tears in my right rotator cuff and she has brought my mobility back. Wanting to avoid surgery and get back to yoga was my main goal. Brittany listens to my concerns, addresses them immediately and checks in regularly for progress. Not only did I get my mobility back, I am getting stronger! Brittany is a professional, knows her stuff and makes PT fun for me! read more

As I'm preparing to have my knee replaced in 3 days, I'm naturally thinking ahead to rehab and PT. I have been a patient at RISE on and off for probably 3 or 4 years. Michael Hollstegge has been my Dr for all of my issues and will continue to treat me for whatever my needs are. I've been to other PT clinics in the past, and nobody comes even close to the treatment and the results you get here. First, you get an hour of hands on, no pun intended, treatment. You are not passed off to an assistant. Michael is nothing short of a magician! He's helped me with frozen shoulder, pulled muscles, and most recently what I thought was a pulled groin. He was telling me almost from the first session..."it's your hip". After a month or so of therapy, I finally took his advice and got an x-ray. Voila`, he was spot on. My hip was bone on bone. Of course, I ended up with hip replacement surgery and Michael helped me through the rehabilitation. That was May 2020. My progress was so much faster than I expected, and I'm in my 70's. Michael is just so amazing with his exercises and always listens and asks questions. I consider him a friend, not just my physical therapist. Even though I'm not looking forward to another surgery, I know that Michael will have me mobile again in record time. Oh, and the videos he sends are so very helpful for doing exercises at home. Never did like the paper diagrams. There's no guesswork with the videos. See you soon, Michael! read more

Michael & Martin at RISE Physical Therapy in Carlsbad are outstanding physical therapists! While I'm not working in that field, my teenage children and I have been to other places in the past that provided PT and can therefore compare. RISE PT in Carlsbad is hands down the best place you can go to if you recover from a sports injury (our situation) and want to transition back into your sport! Michael, Martin & their PT students made the PT sessions fun and our teenage daughter was always looking forward to them. Two other points that sets them apart: they spend one full hour one-on-one with their client & send you a video with the most important exercises so you can continue to work on your recovery on your own. A special shout out to Hailey as well who was always helpful and friendly when scheduling our sessions! read more

I was first introduced to the RISE team several years back when I had a knee injury. I was extremely happy with the results back then. Now, after a slight shoulder injury, I have just not been feeling 100% and decided to take on PT again to help with my strength, mobility and confidence in my shoulder. RISE has since set up​ a new location​ in Pt. Loma, closer to where I live and I have been coming regularly to get healthy again. I could not be HAPPIER with the results. Tommy and the team are very attentive and they know when and how to challenge and push my body. I love the daily workout and stretch reviews​ they email after each class. Tommy tailors workouts specifically designed for me and my life on the road which help tremendously with my busy schedule. While I hope that everyone stays healthy and doesn't need physical therapy, you can be confident that the RISE team will take care of you very well. read more

I have a rotator cuff injury and Michael has been great helping me recover use of my shoulder. I love the post visit videos recapping proper form for my home exercises read more

I've been seeing Dr Brittany Revell for the last two months for postpartum related issues (split abs, out of line hips, back pain from carrying my two now toddlers etc). I was nervous that because I had my last baby two years ago, that my issues had become permanent and I just had to learn how to cope with always having pain somewhere. I'm so glad I took a chance and tried PT and met Brittany! I can feel and see a difference in my body and feel hopeful and more confident than I have in the last two years! Brittany is so knowledgeable, yet so humble and relatable! I've been intimidated to work out, out of fear and lack of confidence and Brittany has made my experience fun and actually effective! I feel stronger and have learned tips on how to continue to use y body in the right ways. I genuinely enjoy seeing Dr Brittany and coming to PT-everyone there is so friendly and welcoming!! I don't think I could say enough nice things about this facility and Dr Revell! read more

I pulled/tear a calf muscle playing tennis. I'm in three leagues so the idea of a long recovery was not an option. One of my tennis friends recommended Rise and I am so thankful she did. I went in right away and Michael was very helpful and knowledgeable. He knew exactly what I had done to my calf. Most would have told me to ice and rest but Michael worked on it and gave me exercise to strengthen it. I was back on the courts in two weeks! read more

I live in Boulder, CO now, so this should show you the high regard I have for Navid as a physical therapist, coworker, friend, and human being. I worked with Navid as a physical therapy aide for two years and during that time, I got a glimpse at the amazing practitioner he is. Not only does he practice what he preaches, but he also makes the practice fun. I was never a patient, but I can't even explain the transformation I'd see in people after working with Navid. For example, a patient would come in with chronic neck pain, miserable as f*** and they'd leave in better spirits with a smile on their face (and in less pain). If you're questioning whether or not you should come into RISE, don't. Get your ass in there. You'll learn how to make sustainable baby steps, how to move in a way that's unique, how to laugh when you've had a shitty day, how to trust your body again, & how to take things seriously but still have a light heart. This is the stuff our lives are made of. It's not just physical therapy... read more

I cannot thank Geoff enough for the thorough assessment and recovery for my debilitating back and nerve injury I had. Geoff taught me the anatomy of my low back and was able to pinpoint exactly what was causing all the pain I was receiving. I was unable to walk, laydown, get up, or even sit still without unbearable pain. Geoff gave me a proactive exercise regime to correct the issues I had. I am now 100% and am able to squat 4 plates for reps and deadlift 5, all thanks to Geoff. read more

Martin at RISE PT is a most knowledgeable, sincere, attentive, caring and optimistic PT. He is very professional and my sessions with him are organized and well planned out. And yet he is sensitive to when I need a small break due to fatigue. He has been treating me for gait issues as I have MS and walking is very difficult as well as a frozen shoulder that I acquired most likely from doing exercises with a 3 lb weight. It doesn't take much when you already have neuro problems. Martin is excellent as he navigates me through all the walking and balance exercises. He also is very in tune with how to manipulate my arm to release the frozen shoulder symptoms. My shoulder is improving. Getting stronger with the walking as well but with MS it is "baby steps". One caveat is how hard it is to find the clinic due to Carlsbad's enforcement of minimal signage and the fact that it is hard to see from the street as it is down a hill off the road. Make sure you ask them for directions the first time around if you don't use GPS. Also there are a fair number of students who rotate through there while working on their DPT degrees so make sure you get enough direct time with the already accomplished DPT. read more

Both my wife and I have seen Michael Hollstegge at the Carlsbad RISE Physical Therapy office over the last several months for different physical ailments. We both appreciate his technical knowledge, dedication and effort during each session. He leaves us with "homework" exercises and videos, which helps us maintain results in between sessions. Honestly, I think it would be hard to fine a better physical therapist and we have both been to other PT clinics. As well, he is very pleasant to interact with, so all in all, we highly recommend him. read more
