After a workplace meniscus tear and a later lateral meniscus transplant on my right knee, I started post-op PT with Dr. Calvin Jung at SAFE Physical Therapy. The experience was truly one-on-one. No double booking, just focused sessions that met me where I was. We built a targeted plan that took me from barely walking comfortably to hiking and even working my way back to mountain climbing. I am still on the road to a full recovery so I can return to the Eastern Sierra Nevada, and Calvin has me set up for success. He is personable, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. If you are deciding where to go in the Mira Mesa and Scripps Ranch area, pick Calvin (but also pick him even if you have to drive farther). I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you so much, Calvin! read more

SAFE Physical Therapy - Physical Therapy Near Me - San Diego, California

I visited Safe Physical Therapy for help with a few issues, such as strength and balance, but I was disappointed with my experience with Calvin Jung. At times, during the manual therapy portion, I felt uncomfortable with the way techniques were applied. There was a lack of clear communication regarding where he was placing his hands and why, and I didn't feel my physical boundaries were respected. I won't be returning. read more

Amazing physical therapist! Very attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate towards each and every session. read more

My friend recommended Calvin Jung from SAFE Physical Therapy for therapy on my arthritic shoulders. He is very knowledgeable and professional and it is easy to get an appointment with him. He has worked on creating more space in my shoulder joints through massage and manipulation of the joints. He then follows with exercise to strengthen the muscles around the joints. Since starting with him, I've noticed a vast improvement. I am able to sleep on both my sides, which I was unable to do prior to working with him. I highly recommend him! As a bonus, he is fun to talk to while doing the work. read more

Calvin is AMAZING! He is patient with my progress and thorough with explanations. scheduling with him is convenient too!

I'd been struggling with shoulder pain that just wouldn't go away, even with rest. Every time I'd try to bench press, the pain would come right back. After six sessions at SAFE Physical Therapy over the past two months, I'm finally making progress. There's still a ways to go, but I'm confident in the results I'm seeing. Thank you for your genuine care and expertise, Calvin! read more

During my visit, Calvin was very nice, informative, and took the time to discover what my injury was, as well as take me through several exercises to evaluate my pain. He took extra time with me after our session and showed me exercises to do at home to improve. He was calm and knowledgeable, and I would recommend you visit him if you are looking for a physical therapist! read more

I responded to an ad on Instagram for a shoulder assessment. I'm usually pretty skeptical about these things but my shoulder pain has been nagging for months without improvement despite resting from activities that irritate it like the gym and tennis. I never felt like the pain would stop me from doing these things but I felt limited and weak at certain angles. After the first session I felt like I had a thorough understanding of how shoulders work and what was causing my pain. I have been going once a week now and 6 sessions in plus doing the exercises prescribed to me, I am feeling a huge difference. The progress was slow at first but as Calvin says, "play long term games and win long term prizes." I have a few sessions left and we've transitioned the focus to my knee pain (getting old is no fun!). read more

SAFE Physical Therapy - Leg compression sleeves - Physical Therapy Near Me - San Diego, California

I had shoulder reconstruction surgery about 4 years ago after serving in the military. I went to physical therapy for a while afterwards but it seemed like I was going no where. Besides, the surgeon told me I will never regain full mobility of my shoulder due of the type of surgery being performed and the measures needed to save my shoulder. I recently attended a free yoga class at SAFE and I told the owner about my surgery background and experience with PT. He showed me 3 or 4 exercises and I immediately regained full range of motion within 15 minutes. I couldn't stop lifting my arm up showing my wife in pure astonishment how far I could move my arm, mind you, it's been YEARS since I was able to do this and I'm only 33 years old. After doing PT sessions in the military, I've kind of gaffed off doing anything more, because I was told it was never going to get any better so why bother right? If only I had gone to SAFE physical therapy after my surgery, I wouldn't have had to suffer over the years. SAFE Physical Therapy is hands down the best PT I have worked with in years. For anyone wrestling with physical limitations or seeking to reclaim their mobility, I cannot recommend SAFE enough. Thank you again! I'll be seeing you soon! read more

I made the right choice in selecting SAFE Physical Therapy and Dr Calvin Jung to help me recover and gain strength from my hip replacement. If there were more than 5 starts to give Calvin, I would do that because in my opinion, he deserves 10 stars! Calvin is extremely knowledgeable in treating all areas of the body related to physical therapy. He is professional and cares about your well being. What impresses me the most is the creativity he applies to treatment and the variety of exercises and tools that he uses for overall improvement. A bonus is that Calvin is a avid pickleball player and helped me get back on the court quickly and safely. I highly recommend SAFE Physical Therapy and Dr. Calvin Jung. read more

Very good experience. Professional assessment and excellent exercises to strengthen my knee.

My shoulder started to "click" while lifting weights, mainly during press movements. This was followed by a dull pain. I wanted to correct this issue before it became a bigger problem. I found SAFE Physical Therapy through an Instagram Ad and was attracted to Calvin's shoulder specialty. After a few one-on-one sessions with Calvin and consistently doing my home exercises that Calvin assigned, the clicking started to go away and the pain is now completely gone. Problem solved and my shoulder is stronger and more stable than it has ever been. I highly recommend SAFE Physical Therapy for issues like mine. Plus, Calvin is super personable, reliable, and someone you can connect with and trust. read more

I was in a car accident a year ago and ended up with a broken foot. I went to a physical therapist that my doctor recommended and they were really nice but I wasn't making the progress that I wanted after 3 months. My sister had been to SAFE Physical Therapy for her shoulder pain so she recommended them to me and what a difference it's been! I spend every session 1-on-1 with the therapist and the exercises he assigned me feel more personal and specific for my needs. In 5 weeks with SAFE PT I've made so much progress with my mobility and my walking looks better according to my family. Highly recommend SAFE for anyone seeking physical therapy! read more

I'm a Student Physical Therapy Assistant & have been at SAFE Physical Therapy for the last two weeks, completing my first clinical rotation with Calvin. The knowledge I have gained during my time here has been extremely beneficial. Witnessing the impact and rapport he builds with patients is truly amazing; I consistently see them leave the clinic smiling. He exceptionally balances engagement, education, creativity, and challenge within his programs for patients. Anyone in need of physical rehabilitation and therapy should strongly consider visiting this clinic for a focused, one-on-one therapy session aimed at achieving realistic treatment goals. read more

After restraining my shoulder while surfing, I turned to Calvin at SAFE Physical Therapy for help. Having dealt with shoulder pain from playing baseball in high school, I was impressed by how quickly Calvin diagnosed the issue as bicep tendinitis. He provided me with tailored exercises that have made a huge difference--after just three weeks, I've already seen significant improvement. Calvin also worked with me to create a plan to get back to surfing without pain. His knowledge and personalized approach have been outstanding. Will definitely come back (but hopefully not too soon!). read more

Calvin is awesome!! He is very friendly and listened to your concerns! He's very details oriented and on of the best PT!!! His place is very clean, parking is easy and safe location! read more

I had significant loss of mobility and a very painful pinching in my shoulder for many years. I blamed it on age, and thought it was something everyone would eventually have to endure as they grew older. I continued to ignore it, but eventually the pain was preventing me from doing simple daily tasks and I was unable to raise my arm or reach behind to put on a jacket. Luckily, I came across SAFE Physical Therapy and called to get an initial consultation. Calvin took the time to listen, identify the discomfort, and clearly explain what was causing the pain in the shoulder. It was immediately obvious he was an expert in his field, and you can tell he really enjoys working with people. I decided it was worth signing up to see if his guidance could help alleviate the pain. The in-person sessions have been very educational because Calvin tells you about the movements and what you are trying to achieve. This of course carries over so you can emulate the same motions during the custom workouts at home. It's been very easy to stay motivated because of the results I'm seeing. I can't believe the difference and have gained back so much mobility and confidence in the shoulder. I'm extremely grateful to Calvin for showing me that with a little bit of work... living pain free is a choice that is accessible to everybody. Thanks Calvin! read more

I have been seeing Calvin at SAFE Physical Therapy for several weeks now following shoulder replacement surgery. Thanks to Calvin's expertise my range of motion has improved significantly and my pain levels have decreased. This is not my first time going through physical therapy and I can tell you that Calvin does not run a mill. In other words, Calvin does not spend 15 minutes with a patient then pass that patient off to an aide for the remainder of the session. Calvin spends the entire session working with his patients. I really appreciate the one-on-one attention Calvin provides. If you are looking to improve your Strength, Agility, Flexibility, Endurance, go to SAFE Physical Therapy and see Calvin. read more

Really great treatment, I'm being treated for Tennis elbow and my rotator cuff. Calvin is doing a wonderful job, he explains what he's doing and answers all of my questions about my treatment that I'm unfamiliar with. I had chronic pain and wasn't able to perform my daily duties at work or home (such as cooking or opening up jars etc. now I'm able to perform these essential tasks again in such a short time. I would recommend him, because he does a good job at making sure his clients are made whole again. read more

Great clinic, excellent care by Calvin, and a thoughtful approach to the treatment plan to make at-home exercises easy to follow and effective! Plenty of parking and easy to find, too! read more

Awesome physical therapy, definitely recommend. You're in really good hands, Calvin knows what he's doing.

Calvin is very knowledgeable and intuitive, and he utilizes layperson metaphors very well to explain assessments and solution pathways. He rapidly assessed and prescribed a regimen to simultaneously address multiple issues with my spine, hip, groin + leg, yielding noticeable improvement week by week. He is available 3 days/week at 7am and 2 day/week to 6pm and located in a 1st floor office suite with multitudes of parking literally just seconds away. read more

I've been dealing with right hip and low back pain for a few weeks, which made it impossible for me to do my usual HIIT and kickboxing workouts. Even after resting, the pain wouldn't go away, so I decided to give physical therapy a try at SAFE Physical Therapy. It's been 6 weeks since I started, and I'm so glad I did! Calvin at SAFE PT has helped me improve my strength and mobility, and I've noticed a significant reduction in my pain. I'm finally back to my workouts, although not at full intensity yet, but I'd say I'm about 80% better. I couldn't be more grateful for the care and expertise provided at SAFE PT! read more

My experience with Calvin at Safe Physical Therapy has been awesome. I had a pulled back muscle and was going on a trip the following week. It sounded like was going to have to cancel my trip as I could hardly move. After 3 treatments, my pain was about gone, I could walk and was able to travel. His treatments have helped me with my strength and balance. He is very professional and educational and enjoyable to his clients. Hope I'll never need physical therapy again but if I do I know where I'll be going! read more

I went to Calvin after an acute flair up of neck pain. He was able to get me in very quickly and helped ease my pain! I will definitely be seeing Calvin again when needed. read more

I was visiting family in San Diego and signed up for surfing lessons. I felt a pinching pain in my left shoulder after the first lesson. I found SAFE Physical Therapy on Instagram and they were able to get me in the next day. From my first session, the therapist not only identified the cause of my pain but also educated me in a way that made sense to me. He then provided exercises that brought immediate relief. I was impressed with the results and returned for three more sessions during my month-long stay. Now back in Chicago, I continue the exercises and am happy to report that my shoulder pain hasn't returned. read more

I've had physical therapy at a couple of other places before going to Safe Physical Therapy. My last experience was at one of the bigger locations here in San Diego. Each therapist seemed to be trying to treat several patients at the same time. They were so busy that I was often told to ride the exercise bike for twenty minutes, apparently because the therapist couldn't get to me, not because riding the bike would have been beneficial. It's at that last establishment that I met Calvin, the owner of Safe Physical Therapy. Calvin has now opened up his own shop, complete with the full range of amazing equipment . I have one-on-one time with him for the entire time I am in the office, no other patients there. That has allowed Calvin to show me various specialized exercises that get right to my torn rotator cuff, and strengthen all of the surrounding muscles. So far so good with the therapy. I am an avid pickleball player and initially had to eliminate any overhead shots from my game. After five sessions and my following the regimen Calvin has laid out for me, I am now hitting my overhead shots again, still not at full strength but pretty close. It is such a relief to get out there and play again as I was very concerned that I would be out of action for a long time. If you want a personalized physical therapy program, with one-on-one time, I'd recommend Safe Physical Therapy. read more

I recently went to SAFE Physical Therapy because I tore my meniscus while playing ultimate frisbee. Scheduling was a breeze and the treatment was unlike any other physical therapy I've had before. Calvin was not only informative but highly encouraging every step of the way. His tailored exercises and hands-on techniques were instrumental in my recovery, gradually restoring strength and flexibility. I am now back to playing ultimate frisbee and have my first tournament since my injury in 3 weeks. I'm still working with SAFE Physical Therapy in their continuity program to bulletproof my knees! read more

I had a serious back injury and during my first visit Calvin understood my pain and severity of my situation. Not only he helped me get back on my feet, he made sure that I continue all the recommended stretches and motions at home for my faster recovery. After 4 months of my physical therapy with SAFE PT, I am back to my normal life all thanks to SAFE PT and Calvin. read more

So very happy with my experience with Calvin. He really helped me out with my back and leg pain from my injury. If I ever needed therapy, again, I would use his services. Highly recommend. Bonus, he is friendly and has a great sense of humor! read more

Calvin helped me get through the worst injury of my life (my lower back) in 2019. I can't believe I made a full recovery from that situation. I am currently seeing him for my neck/shoulder/arm. I am so happy to have such great one- on-one care. He is thorough, patient, a great listener and truly cares. Calvin really wants to make a difference in each and every patient's life. The location is great, easy to find, easy to access, tons of available parking. The office space is great and he has top of the line equipment. I truly feel more than comfortable in his care; I do feel SAFE! I would not want to trust my physical therapy care to anyone except Calvin. I have encountered many good physical therapists, but not all are created equal and Calvin is a cut above. Having access to Calvin at this facility is truly wonderful! read more

I completely ruptured my achilles 4 months ago, and came to here to do my physical therapy. Calvin is a great physical therapist and he spends all of my sessions one on one making sure that I'm getting the best care possible. He is very open and attentive, and makes sure that I am pushing myself and also asks me about anymore personal goals that I have with fitness in general! At my latest post op with my surgeon he said that I was ahead in recovery than most of his patients. read more

I highly recommend!! My work here with Calvin got me back on my bike stronger than before and faster than i expected!! Calvin is super knowledgeable and insightful with his practice, and overall just a great guy to work with. Couldn't be more happy with this place! read more
