Chalom Physical Therapy and Wellness - Schroth Method for Scoliosis

Fantastic experience: My daughter was diagnosed with scoliosis at age 14. Dina was recommended to us by our Orthotist. We loved her immediately. My daughter was very angry about needing to wear a brace, and Dina was so kind, patient, and so reassuring. My daughter would not do the exercises so Dina showed her the best way for her to stand and sit for her curve, and showed us some simple things she can do when taking a study break for a few minutes. Dina is one of those rare professionals who goes above and beyond, spending time with me on the phone, following up after our doctors appointments without asking for payment or pressuring me to schedule appts. She obviously truly cares about her patients, and is so good at what she does. My daughter' curve ended up decreasing in her brace and I can only imagine working with Dina contributed to that. I will always be grateful for her help and cannot recommend her more.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience. I felt immediate relief from pain I have dealt with for years after our first session. I have gained clarity on what is causing my issues and what I can do to improve my quality of life moving forward. I highly recommend if you are tired of playing the guessing game.

Fantastic experience: Dina provides a thorough and professional practice catered to my individual need. It is apparent that she goes above and beyond to analyze the issues, which gives way to very productive Schroth PT sessions.

Fantastic experience: My scoliosis curve and anatomy only became symptomatic for me in the past several years as an adult. Most providers just don't get how to manage it and therefore, if "you're not a surgery candidate" you are left with traditional pain relief injections to address your "degenerative" situation. After rounds of unsuccessful "traditional" PT at my primary provider, and considering a brace, I was referred by my chiropractor to Dina. Dina has taught me to understand my curvature and rotation, and Schroth exercises to incorporate into my daily way of life that provide me relief and hope! Thank you Dina! I am beyond grateful!

Fantastic experience: Dina is the best!! She is so knowledgeable in Schroth, SEAS, and physical therapy treatments for the specific treatment of scoliosis. It has been a blessing to work with her and see the improvements first hand.

Fantastic experience: Dina has helped me through multiple injuries over the past 5+ years. She's an amazing PT and great to work with -- can't recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: When I was diagnosed with scoliosis two years ago I wasted no time finding Dr Dina Chalom. She is one of two people in San Diego who knows the Schroth Method. Working with her helped me get out of pain even after the first session. She gives me great exercises and body awareness techniques. I recommend taking her workshop and/or working one on one. She’s patient, humorous, and kind. She’s a great PT and resource for Scoliosis.

Fantastic experience: I came to see Dina to get help dealing with a recurring sports injury in my shoulder. She did a wonderful job at explaining what was going on that was causing pain and gave me some simple yet effective exercises to do every week. She also gave me great tips to reduce the risk of injury moving forward. Overall a pleasant and professional experience, would recommend to anyone dealing with a sport injury.

Fantastic experience: Hip and knee workshop has really helped me improve my alignment Resulting pain reduction is wonderful! Thank you very much!!!

Fantastic experience: Dina has helped me rehab my new knees with exercises to strengthen everything around them to the point where I can get the most out of them in the future. She makes everything so clear and with emphasis that it's easy to follow her program and get the positive results.

Fantastic experience: Working with Dina has improved my flexibility in my hips and hamstrings tremendously. She is an incredibly helpful and knowledgeable physical therapist.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with and known Dina for quite a few years now. As a fellow physical therapist I have reached out to discuss patients with her on multiple occasions. She is incredibly skilled, very knowledgable and tends to see patients from an all encompassing approach. Never treating just a single body part or injury, but, the whole body and how everything interacts and effects each other. Because of this whole body approach Dina's clients prosper after being under her care. I am honored to call Dina a friend and colleague.

Fantastic experience: Several months ago, I had a back and hip problem and I was referred to Dina Chalom. I've gone for physical therapy for years with temporary relief, but ever since Dina showed me some exercises specific to my problem, I am feeling a lot better. I do play a lot of tennis and make sure I do what she has taught me. Dina showed me some exercises that I had never done before and they have been great. I had only four visits and have not needed any since.
