Performance Place Sports Care & Chiropractor: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Very professional, knowledgeable and the treatment I received was very effective and impactful. Highly recommend it!
Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic experience: Sebastian and his team did an exceptional job of helping me to deal with and manage arthritis in my hip. When I started seeing him, I was facing the prospect of a hip replacement and the end of my running ‘career’. Now, I am back to running at volumes I haven’t done in years, and I feel strong. The exercises were creative, tailored completely to my situation, and effective, despite the fact that the sessions needed to happen virtually because of where I live. I wholeheartedly recommend Sebastian and his team.
Thanks for sharing Sal!
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic time with Sebastian at Performance Place. I'll be honest. Initially, the cost did put me off to seeking treatment. I recall that I placed my first inquiry a few weeks prior to actually seeking counsel for a different problem. Due to desperation in the face of a pending marathon, I decided to reconsider and scheduled a session with him. He gave me peace of mind as to the fact that I had no actual muscle tears, and that I could safely run the marathon. When I came in for a session, Seb graciously extended our session at no extra cost. He even took extra time to answer my questions during our consultation call. I appreciate the rigorous way in which he attempted to diagnose my problems. He also suggested solutions to problems that I hadn't even considered before. Lastly, his brain is essentially encyclopedic. You can ask him any question and he will provide exceptional insight. I would wholeheartedly recommend Seb and his team to anyone seeking treatment for physical therapy.
Thank you for sharing Roy! Very nice of you!
Fantastic experience: Rehab is fun and I look forward to it every day! I never thought I’d say those words until I met Dawn. If you are looking for a partner on your recovery journey, give her a call. Dawn made me feel heard and always addressed my concerns. I love Yoga and missed being on my mat, so she made the time to build me a Yoga rehab workflow. She has been with me every step of the way on my recovery journey and am confident that anyone who works with Dawn will feel the same support, guidance and care.
Fantastic experience: I love working with Dawne! She is so knowledgeable and understands every issue I’m having. I’ve only gone 3 times and my pain is almost completely gone with the stretches and exercises Dawne has recommended. I highly recommend Performance Place to anyone with chronic pain that wants to avoid surgery!
Thank you Cindy! Youre the best!
Fantastic experience: Huge Thank you for the Sebastian. When I first hurt my knee on the field I though surgery was the only way forward. His confidence in the fact it wasn't needed and he could keep me on the field was the right move. Sebastian and his knowledge of the body and how knee is a "circuit breaker " for the hips and back made the difference.
Thank you for sharing John!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Dawne is the BEST! She’s professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful in figuring out what was wrong with me and giving me exercises to improve my pain. The exercises aren’t challenging, but they work wonders in alleviating my pain on a day to day basis. I would highly recommend Dr. Dawne and the rest of the staff at Performance Place (especially their dog July)!
Thank you for sharing Kyle. July is the best part of the office
Fantastic experience: Dr. Sebastian and team have been a game changer for my back and body health. Deeply grateful and highly recommended!
Thank you for sharing Kevin!!
Fantastic experience: Mandy is super knowledgeable and great to work with. The program at Performance Place Sports is personalized to help you achieve your goals in a way that is hard to find in the standard medical system.
Thanks for sharing Luke!
Fantastic experience: I had an issue with my Rotator Cuff and the pain escalated over time, making painful to sleep much less play sports and throw a baseball. I thought I may need surgery it felt so painful. Then I went to see Sebastian Gonzalez and his staff at The Performance Place. They showed me all the stretches that I need to do to stretch as well as strengthen my Right Rotator Cuff. They even recorded a personal video as they showed me each and every move I needed to learn. Well after just a short time in less than 5-6 weeks following their instruction and regime the pain went away 100%! Now, I continue doing the same stretching to help keep my Rotator cuff nice & loose! With all that said, I highly recommend Mr Gonzalez and his most amazing staff! All my best! Johnny A.
Thanks Johnny!
Fantastic experience: I am a collegiate soccer player competing at the NCAA Division 2 level. I am also a health and wellness nut who takes everything fitness-related seriously. From my diet and training to sleep and other aspects of recovery, I am always looking for ways to not only perform my best on the field but also feel my best outside of it. To give this review some context and garner proper ethos, here is a quick summary of my injury history leading up to my time working with Performance Place Care (feel free to skip this paragraph and proceed to the next one for my actual review): Unfortunately, I have been plagued with injuries since my first year of college and grew skeptical of sports doctors and orthopedists. Halfway through the spring season of 2022, I picked up a pretty severe groin injury that halted my participation in the sport for the remainder of the semester. I bounced around countless orthopedists and struggled through agonizing pain through three full soccer seasons (about three years of pain). Throughout these three soccer seasons (Fall 2023, Spring 2023, and Fall 2024), I kept seeing different specialists to acquire guidance on how to get back to 100%. No one could pinpoint my issue based on the images they took and suggested they cut me open to take a better look (informing me that this surgery may or may not work). The odds were not good enough to favor such an operation that would come with many possible complications and a huge paycheck. I felt like I was never going to be able to play pain-free again. As someone who takes my health and performance very seriously, this took a very negative toll on not only my physical health but also my mental well-being. I ultimately felt hopeless and that my sports career might entail pushing through chronic pain forever, which took out all the joy I had while playing. During winter break after the Fall 2024 season, I decided to take a risk and visit Performance Place Sports Care. The 9-hour round trip drive was 100000% worth it. I worked with Sebastian, and from the get-go, I knew this place was different from the rest. He patiently took the time to answer all my questions and helped me feel heard. He took into account not only the cause of my injury but also my lifestyle habits, and we immediately started to work on exercises to identify and help alleviate symptoms. Most doctors I saw asked me what hurt and what caused the pain and then told me I could either get surgery or just rest it off (which obviously did not work after three years of pain). From that initial visit, I have been able to work with Sebastian through online meetings for the past seven months. We are taking a more holistic approach towards recovery, making sure that all parts of the body are functioning correctly so that my problem area is not so problematic. While I did have to ease up a bit on sport-specific movements while I let my body heal, Sebastian never insisted I completely stop activity and rest. He even suggested I continue to exercise, which helped me mentally stay in the game. Since then, the majority of my pain has gone away, and I am finally able to play soccer without pain. I feel stronger than ever and much more confident in my abilities. Every time we meet, Sebastian takes the time to answer all of my questions and gives me the belief that things will improve over time, and they do! Sebastian and the whole team at Performance Place Care have been great. They are prompt to answer my emails and reply to my countless questions. They are flexible with making appointments, making me feel heard and cared for. I know this is a lengthy review, but Performance Place Care changed the direction of my mental and physical well-being, for which I feel incredibly blessed.
Youre the man Hayden thank you for sharing!
Fantastic experience: I recently visited Performance Place Sports Care & Chiropractic, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The team was incredibly friendly from the moment I walked in, making me feel welcome and at ease. Their knowledge and expertise were evident, and they took the time to explain everything thoroughly. I never felt rushed; instead, they were patient and attentive, addressing all my questions and concerns. What stood out most was their focus on providing exercise homework to help fix my problem, rather than just offering an adjustment. This comprehensive approach made me feel confident in their care. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking top-notch sports care and chiropractic services.
Thanks for sharing Mark!
Fantastic experience: Dr Gonzalez was very knowledgeable and professional, and he helped challenge me to show me I could do more with my body (planks on knees and work on squats and hip hinges) for my chronic hip pain issues. He’s great at accommodating and providing modifications . Pleased with the communication and dedication from him and the team. The handouts of the plan they give are super helpful too.
Thank you for sharing your experience Dianne
Fantastic experience: I had been dealing with sciatic hamstring pain for about 3 years and it had been getting worse and worse and inhibiting my running. A friend of mine told me about Performance Place Sports and so I gave it a try. Oh my gosh!!! It has seriously been a game changer! I see Mandy Wainfan and she has been incredible starting me with what they call a first aid process to help with the pain, to correction, to now being able to strengthen the area. For the past 2 weeks I have been pain-free, being able to go faster and on longer runs without breaking down. I haven’t felt this good in years! If you have a nagging injury or a new one, see them right away you won’t be disappointed!
Thanks for sharing Debbee!
Fantastic experience: Thank you Mandy for helping me solve my groin and hip pain initiated by disk herniation. You were amazing through all our online sessions, you provided me with the right exercises and movements for my issue. It was such a great remote experience with you!
Thank you for sharing with everyone!
Fantastic experience: Helped me get through my injury and even more. They help you get in a spot where you don't get injured as easily. The people there are incredibly sweet and awesome. Would 1000% percent suggest to other people
Thank you for sharing Josh!!
Fantastic experience: Sebastian has been so helpful trying to resolve my back issues. I herniated my lumber disc 18months ago and for the first year I was scared to lift anything, even a bag into the car. Sebastian has helped me regain my confidence to the point where I'm now at the gym with a PT lifting some weights. Sebastian helped create a bespoke training plan for my problem, with increasing intensity when the time was right. Sebastian is very knowledgeable on back & hip issues and is able to clearly articulate what was going on. I am based in the UK and having video calls was highly effective, so don't feel that it has to be face to face. I would highly recommend Sebastian
Thanks for sharing David!!
Fantastic experience: Mandy and Sebastian are great very friendly and their knowledge of the body and how it works is amazing. I always feel better after a visit.
Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been worning with Dawne and she’s so kind and knowledgeable. My condition is ongoing but since seeing her my knee & back pain has improved as well as my ability to walk. I highly recommend coming in and getting checked out if you’re in pain!
Thank you for sharing Yesenia
Fantastic experience: The friendliest and smartest staff around! Devoted a lot of time and effort to pinpoint my area of pain in the shoulder and then created a game plan to get me back to full health and get me back onto the field. Shoulder feeling much better now.
Excellent. Thanks for sharing Scott!
Fantastic experience: Dawne is amazing! I was diagnosed with a 9mm herniated disc. I wanted to avoid surgery and didn’t want cortisone epidurals to “see what would happen.” It was too risky. In my research of PT practitioners, I found Dawne. And, she was able to do zoom calls which was really important because I was extremely limited in my mobility due to severe sciatica. Dawne was patient, encouraging, thoughtful in her approach, caring…. The list goes on of her amazing traits. She was able to help me work through my frustrations and pain. I was able to become more mobile by appx 3 months. By 6 months, she had me doing strength training. At almost the year mark, I’m pretty much back to my original mobility. The most important part is I avoided spinal surgery and spinal cortisone epidurals. I really could not have accomplished any of this without Dawne’s knowledge and support.
Thank you for sharing J!!
Fantastic experience: Great recovery training workout. Having issue with right groin and abdominal area have had great results getting stronger and more flexible with a reduction in pain and fatigue. Getting ready for the 2024 masters world weightlifting championships so training time is a premium to getting recovered and prepared for the work ahead. Sebastian is doing a great job very very knowledgeable!!️♂️
Thank you for sharing Kevin!!
Fantastic experience: I had a consultation with Sebastian yesterday over the phone in a zoom call. I immediately was impressed with his knowledge and attention to details. I fully torn my ACL in 2022 playing basketball but been suffering from a partial ACL tear since 2018 playing soccer. I was meeting with Sebastian to go over my options and to see if I can improve with his help to the level of playing sports again and “gracefull mobility” as I like to call it. (Running, jumping, landing and dancing) After assessing my knee movement and my MRI Sebastian informed me that I’m better off with a surgery and gave me a few questions to ask a potential surgeon before getting under their knife which we as very generous and helpful. All in all I feel like Sebastian is a fair and honest person and I would definitely recommend him to my own family. He also referred me to a post op rehab place that specializes in knees. That’s how awesome he is.
Thank you for sharing Eli!!
Fantastic experience: I’d struggled with chronic low back pain and hip pain for years. Inhibiting my progress and gains inside and outside the gym. Within a couple weeks of implementing Sebastian’s exercises and protocols into my routine, I was effectively pain free and stronger than I had been in years. I’m excited about my physical potential again. And looking forward to working with Sebastian as we implement more and more advanced techniques.
Thank you for sharing your experience Hunter!!
Fantastic experience: I do virtual training with Performance Place to assist with mobility in my hip - I live in a rural part of the US and wasn't able to find similar quality of help in person nearby. Their programming and virtual assessments have been great. The app they use is easy, payment is simple, the instructions are clear. I do an hour session each month and it has greatly improved my mobility - I'm able to do things that were previously not possible and by following their guidance my athleticism continues to improve. I highly recommend working with them.
Thanks Fred!
Fantastic experience: Without the internet I would never have had the ability to connect with Dawne and become injury free in such a short time. I had struggled with high hamstring tendinopathy for way too long and thought I was never going to get my full functionality back and would probably need surgery. After my first session with Dawne, my pain was quickly alleviated. After my second session, I felt confident I would actually be able to return to pre-injury status. I am now working toward full recovery without needing surgery. Mind you this is all being conducted virtually. I am grateful for Dawne's expert advice and direction. I searched long and hard and finally found a great PT to work with. I look forward to continued progress.
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about Dawn at Performance Place Sports Care and Chiropractor. I have been working with her remotely for about 3 months now. I have struggled with herniated discs for over 15 years. Everytime I leave our sessions I am pain free and with more techniques to use for my everyday life to keep me pain free. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone searching for a pain free alternative after trying many conventional methods.
Thank you for sharing!!
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for results, this is the place to go. I have been to lots of physical therapists, and I don't believe any had the depth of knowledge Sebastian has. Some were not helpful at all. The thing I wanted was to learn about why my back was having so much trouble, develop a few go-to First Aid tools and some basic exercises to build myself up. This worked perfectly at Performance Place. For me, the cost was significant, but not disproportionate to significantly reducing back pain after two visits and a month on the protocol. I am thrilled to be able to concentrate on something other than pain. In my opinion, money is useless if you're miserable. However, this would not be a tool I would use for hand holding, as that would be cost-prohibitive for me. Also worth noting: a bad physical therapist is worth less than zero. Sebastian is as sharp of a tool for physical therapy as I have encountered in what has unfortunately been a two decade journey in the space. If you are tired of not understanding what's happening with your body, do yourself a favor and go see them.
Thank you so much for sharing!!
Fantastic experience: Sebastian and his team are extremely knowledgeable and precise in their methods of finding and understanding the root cause of your physical issue/pain, and then administering an effective treatment plan that provides real results quickly. In addition the staff is extremely warm and welcoming. I highly recommend.
Thank Rob!
Fantastic experience: Working with Dr. Sebastian (and his associates Matt and others) at the Performance Place was a transformative experience for me. His magical approach not only alleviated my lower back and related pain but also prevented the need for more invasive treatments like contrast MRI. With accurate assessment and diagnosis Dr. Sebastian provided simple exercise routines that acted as natural pain killers and were easy to integrate into my daily life, offering immediate relief whenever I needed. (No side-effects and No prescription necessary.. lol) He always had innovative tricks up his sleeve that fascinated and surprised me on how effective they were. Sebastian's guidance was invaluable, especially his belief in the power of recovery of a human body. Embracing his simplified approach, sound psychology and aligning my belief with his belief in my ability to recover were key in my recovery ❤️ process especially during setbacks. In a few months of guided therapy I have returned to my favorite activities like long hikes and golfing. What sets Sebastian apart is not just his skill as a physical therapist but also his role as an educator. With a wealth of knowledge and experience shared through email newsletters, books, blogs, podcasts, and videos, he offers extensive resources that further support and inspire his patients. I've reclaimed my favorite activities with the confidence and resilience his treatment has instilled. I highly recommend Dr. Sebastian and his team at the Performance Place to anyone seeking physiotherapy.
Thank you so much for sharing your kind words Sunil!
Fantastic experience: My son is a high school runner and has felt various growing pains and calf pain for over a year now, and was referred to Mandy by his high school running coaches. Mandy is a runner and coach herself, so she has a lot of experience and knowledge as it concerns to running. She really helped my son identify areas that were weak, related to his strength, balance and lower body and took a lot of time at every session to focus on creating a plan to not only help with the pain, but give him tools to proactively help with running preparation and managing moments of pain in between. You can tell she really cares and wants her clients to be successful in their sport. My son made a lot of progress toward health and I highly recommend Mandy as we are grateful for the experience.
Thank you for sharing, Joy. It was great to work with your son!
Fantastic experience: Always Learning and refining his craft!! Dr. Gonzales is always up on the latest research, always refining his craft and looking for ways that his patients can help themselves understand the issue, define the issue and correct the issue! Equipping his patients with the knowledge and tools necessary to regain and maintain control over their situation. Thank you Dr. G! I highly recommend Dr. Sebastian and Performance Place to anyone that wants to recover and be an active participant in their recovery. **Patient, help heal they self!!**
Fantastic experience: Mandy helped me so much! I hurt my back at work lifting something, and after weeks of lingering pain, Mandy’s care and expertise finally helped the pain go away. I highly recommend working with her! Thank you Mandy!!
Thanks for sharing Brenna! Great working with you!
Fantastic experience: They really work with you and make sure you are doing the movements correctly which is important in order to get the best results. Sebastian is great! Been going for over a year and I’m always learning better spinal hygiene, as he likes to put it
Fantastic experience: I went to see Mandy Wainfan for knee and hip pain that has hindered my running for months. After a thorough examination we did some specific exercises to help with lower back issues. After each exercise regimen she had me run a couple strides to see the results. We did this several times, each time the legs pain was reduced. We then did some therapy and after she showed me exercises to do on my own before each run and more to do regularly throughout the week. The work and advise Mandy gave me has allowed me to run again. Great experience with great results!
Thanks Pat, so happy you're back running!
Fantastic experience: Hello there! I worked with Mandy Wainfan after being introduced to her by a friend. I have been an athlete all my life and a few months ago I injured my back, it was at the point where I couldn't move at all without pain. That's where Mandy comes in, I have never seen a chiropractor before, But I would highly recommend Mandy and Performance Place Sports Care & Chiropractic, because she changed my life. The pain was at the point where it was really changing me leading me to feel really worn down and a bit of a jerk. After seeing Mandy I am completely pain free! I was doing stuff with her I had never encountered before and with her guidance and care my life has been completely changed!
Thank you Edward, great to work with you!
Fantastic experience: Yesterday was my first visit seeing Mandy. I thought I knew what my issue was, and she had a different diagnosis I never considered. She spent an hour with me, doing exercises and tailoring a treatment plan for me. I still can't believe how quickly her treatment worked; I went in with a limp, and I left pain free. She told me the pain would return, and what to do when it did. This morning I got up, did the exercises she prescribed and was able to run pain free. Thanks Mandy and Performance Place! Highly recommend!!
Thanks for sharing Daniel! Happy to help you get to the bottom of your pain!
Fantastic experience: I found the Performance Place and Sebastian while perusing YouTube in search of ideas and methods for reducing pain in my right hip as a result of 50 years of surfing. While I have a touch of Arthritis in my right groin area (which is another issue), I was having issues with the outside of my right hip (and lower back) and wasn't sure how to address it. After meeting with Sebastian for the initial consultation, I agreed to embark on an eight-session program. Each session was slightly different in the sense that we spent time at the beginning of each session to see where I needed work at which point Sebastian along with the assistance of Matt, would delve into area specific massages, stretches, bands, weights, etc., that would mitigate the pain and then develop a specific routine to follow until the next meeting which would strengthen the area(s) in need. The eight sessions were stretched out over a three-month window where we would meet weekly for the first four weeks, followed by three sessions every two weeks and then a final session the following month. In the end I have noticed an improvement but most importantly I came away from this time with an arsenal of exercises and routines to address the ailing parts of my body and at 63 years old, every bit helps. The best part though is I'm easing back into surfing with less pain which is the most important. Many thanks go to Sebastian and Matt.
Youre the man Bob. Great working with you. Sebastian
Fantastic experience: We are so grateful to Performance Place for identifying the source of our ballerina's pain and providing her with exercises (homework!) to improve her issues and keep her dancing! The team here is incredibly knowledgeable and hands-on and are doing amazing work. I highly recommend them for any higher level athlete who needs advanced physical therapy and athletic training to keep their bodies at optimal performance. Total game changer! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! Thank you for trusting us!!
Fantastic experience: After years of pain and agony, not being heard or listened to by my doctors and therapists; I found my way to Performance Place Sports Care & Chiropractor. Do not let the calm comfortable environment of their office fool you, These folks mean business!! After just one appointment, I feel I had more concerns addressed than in the previous 3 years. The entire time I was there, it was one on one, hands on, while actively discussing what is being done, how it should feel, and what the goal of the exercise or stretch or method of therapy is aiming for. At the time of this review, having only had my initial evaluation and one appointment, I know without a doubt that my recovery will now be greatly improved and accelerated. If you are in pain, suffering, aching, feeling like you will never get better. Never get rid of the pain. Call this clinic, talk to Dawne and her staff.
Thanks for sharing!!
Fantastic experience: I ve been coming here for several years. I avoided epidurals and ankle surgery. In depth work and follow up. Great staff and facility.
Thank you for sharing Juan!!
Fantastic experience: I Just had a telehealth with Don, she was very nice and answer all my questions. The whole process was super easy. Happy with the service.
Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic experience: I have succeeded in my goals of pain relief and better stability in hips and legs, after working with Dawne my personal trainer. My next goal is to increase strength of the problem areas and dance without pain. Thank you so much this is a real breakthrough after years of physical therapy. Aileen
Thanks for sharing your story Aileen
Fantastic experience: My Miracle story After a work injury in 1992, I have been dealing with debilitating upper and lower back pain. I have been seen by numerous orthopedic specialist, physical therapists, and chiropractors. All of which could not help me or would prescribe medication to mask the pain. I eventually learned to live with my pain. This past April, I scored passes for the Half Dome Cables (five years of trying!) My family and I began our training for the hike and as bad luck would have it, I had a bad surfing accident and was diagnosed with a torn hip labrum. I was told I would need surgery and 3 to 4 months of recovery. The pain was such that I had to have morphine to get through it and knew there was no way I would be able to even make it from parking lot to the trail head. I came across videos of Dr. Sebastian on YouTube and decided to give him a call. All I can say is, I felt like the Karate Kid meeting Mr. Miyagi.... My first appointment was LIFE changing. I came to see Dr Sebastian with what seemed to be an impossible goal and left with assurance that they would help me reach my goal of completing the hike, PAIN FREE! For one month, Dr Sebastian and Des, put together weekly programs for me to follow. The training was intense and every week I felt stronger and healthier than I had felt since my initial back injury. They were so supportive and caring... every week was a new goal towards my success to completing the hike. July 24, 2023, my family and I hiked and climbed up the Half Dome cables. I will not going into detail but that was an incredibly difficult hike! While I was tired and exhausted, I did not have one bit of PAIN! No back pain or hip pain.... calves yes, but I had no pain otherwise! I can honestly say that had it not been for Dr Sebastian and Des, there's no way I could have achieved my goal of that incredible hike. I will forever be so grateful for their help. If you have pain MAKE THE CALL! They will change your life... do not wait! I only wish I had found Dr, Sebastian and his team 30 years ago. Thank you from the bottom of my soul.
Thank you so much for sharing Martha! It was great to work with you and congrats on completing the hike!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience working with Dawne. I’m a long time back pain sufferer, and also very physically active. It seems like I have had a major flare up every couple of years. I am used to battling back, but wanted to expand my knowledge and hopefully avoid flaring up as often.I have had one surgery about 17 years ago, and I am trying to avoid a second. We met weekly, then every other week, and then monthly as my recovery progressed - all meetings were virtual. I had some doubts at first, but they went away as the help and exercises Dawne suggested worked so well. After 8-10 weeks, I’m pain free, playing golf and working out with no problems. And I feel like I have some tools to maintain, as well as a plan on how to handle flare ups when they occur. I would highly recommend giving this type of help a try, especially with Dawne or Seb. They know their stuff, and they can help you get back on track.
Wow! Thats a great review Shone. Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic experience: I found Sebastian online (I highly recommend his podcasts, YouTube videos, and ebooks) during a bout of lower back and hip problems, and he has been really helpful. I’m 65 and still exercise and surf a lot, and want to continue as long as I can. I had Sebastian assess me and help me start a personalized program, and I’ve had good results after a month of working on my own. He honed in on what I needed right away and is incredibly good at explaining things. He’s really helped me strengthen my weak areas, and address pain thoughtfully. These guys are mature and know their business. Super glad to be working with them.
Thank you for sharing Don!!
Fantastic experience: I am so grateful to have found Dr. Sebastian. I am a lifelong athlete who likes to push his workouts. About 18 months ago I started having lower back pain. I kept working out and assumed the pain was just a sign of getting older and close to 50. As the months progressed, the pain became worse and at times unbearable. It got to the point I could not walk up stairs easily, I shuffled my feet, and could not do a majority of the workouts that I enjoyed. I went to my Chiropractor and Acupuncturist and was only provided temporary relief. I would not have found Dr. Sebastian if I had not been attempting to self diagnose my issue through the 1000's of Youtube Videos about lower back pain. I was convinced it was my Psoas muscle. I came across a video of a therapist at Performance Place and realized they were in Costa Mesa...so I decided I would give them a try. If you are in pain, go see Dr. Sebastian. I was hesitant to signup for an appointment due to the cost and he doesn't take insurance. I mistakenly assumed he was "just another chiropractor" and that I had already gone that route. I really contemplated going due to the cost. Looking back on it now and how far i have come in my recovery, I would pay 10 times over what I paid if I had known I could be fully recovered without any medication or surgery. He has such a unique approach to his craft. I have been to physical therapy before and thought I knew what to expect. His intake assessment was unlike anything I have ever experienced. It was so thorough and he spoke with a level of confidence but I was still skeptical. He had one of his PT interns explain exercises and stretches I had never seen and then sent me home with a workout list and some videos to remind me of the exercises and told me to come back in a week. I came back to my followup appointment with such a significant improvement and reduction in pain. A new set of exercises and off I went home to continue my progression. Next appointment pain had gone from sometimes an 8 to a 1 or 0. I am now 2 months into my program at Performance Place and I feel like Dr. Sebastian has given me my life back. I have absolutely zero back pain. We have identified movements that created a small flare up and have moved on to working on other muscle imbalances that may have caused some of the initial back issues. He puts 100% effort into every appointment I have had with him and I leave every time feeling grateful for his guidance. Make that initial appointment...it may change your life like it did for me.
Thank you so much for sharing Biggie! It was great to work with you!
Fantastic experience: I had on and off lower back pain for 10+ years and spent countless trips to the chiropractor and lots of $$$. Adjustments always provided temporary relief but never "fixed" the issue. I found Sebastian online and set up an initial video call to discuss my symptoms. I did the 12 week program and followed it exactly and have not been back to the chiropractor for lower back issues in about a year. This was the actual fix I have been looking for and it worked!
Fantastic experience: I've seen Dr. Sebastian for three separate injuries over the course of several years now. Regardless of whether I'm in area or not, I won't go to anyone but him and the Performance Place team. Prefer to go in-person but have had a lot of success with virtual visits which I've done a few times. 10/10, strongest recommendation possible to anyone experiencing hip, back, shoulder, or any other sports ailment/injury.
Thanks for the kind words Phil. Love to help when I can!
Fantastic experience: Through the online sessions with Dawne I found back the confidence and the strength in my body again. I suffered from lower back pain, sciatic nerve and neck issues. I just didn’t know anymore what I could do, should do or avoid to be doing. The video communication was amazing and with very clear directions Dawne gave me the perfect tools and exercises to release the pain and become stronger. Never could I imagine I’d be lifting weights again. I am very happy that even living far away (I live in the Caribbean/Saint Martin) I found “performance place sports care”. I am working full time again and my life got back so much of its qualities.
Thanks for sharing Rachele!
Fantastic experience: Over the past year I’ve had the honor of interning at Performance Place Sports Care and Chiropractic. Dr. Sebastian is one of the few chiropractors who takes the time to teach students how to be effective, efficient, and professional healthcare providers. His guidance is invaluable. Dr. Sebastian and Dr. Dawne are trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring! Their examinations are thorough and their treatment methods provide lasting results!! Words cannot express how grateful I am to have met Dr. Sebastian and Dr. Dawne!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Seb and his team are miracle workers! They have a unique, unconventional way of diagnosing and treating aliments that can be life changing. They provided a customized exercise plan (and homework) to help treat the root cause of the injury (knee and then back for me) and then developed a plan for maintenance to help keep a healthy body. I've been to many chiropractors and PTs over the years and Performance Place Sport Care & Chiropractor far and away exceeds expectations to get you back to optimal health.
Wow thanks! Youre the best Courtney!!
Fantastic experience: Great experience! Sebastian helped relieve my neck and shoulder pain. Just after the first visit I noticed pain free range of motion.
Thanks for sharing Ozzie
Fantastic experience: After only four sessions with Sebastian, I have made amazing progress. This is probably the best investment in my health I have ever made. He demonstrates how to do each exercise properly so that you get the maximum benefit for your efforts. Thanks to him and his staff, I am on the road to recovery without having to suffer surgery and the risks associated with it. RL
Fantastic experience: Dr Sebastian always keep me moving forward! Got me back to 100% in less than two months and is always there for me when I have a flare up with my back. Most reliable and smartest physical therapist I’ve ever met!
Fantastic experience: Dr Dwane was an angel in our lives, seriously. My husband was in pain for more than 2 years in his back (the doctors didn’t find or solve the real problem even after tons of exams) and we were just hopeless when we found their video on YouTube. My husband was very skeptical at the beginning (totally understandable after 2 years in pain) but since day one, Dr Dwane was incredible with him, she was professional, patient, he finally felt heard and since the beginning of the treatment he already improved a lot! We’re so happy and grateful for Dr Dwane incredible work. Highly recommend with no doubt.
Fantastic experience: After 2 years going to 2 orthodontists, 1 neurologist, 3 physical therapists, 1 chiropractic and 1 acupuncturist and no one being able to help me, I found about Performance Place Sports Care & Chiropractor. My pain was in my upper back, I felt burning and stiffness every single day. Dr Dwane was so kind and patient, I finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel starting my treatment with her. It’s been 4 sessions and I feel so much better already. I am beyond thankful and I truly recommend them.
Excellent!! Thank you for sharing!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Dawne Costantino is more than just a chiropractor who cracks body parts. She is holistic in her approach of making sure that you can actually recover from your injuries without having to come to her office in perpetually. I recommend giving Dr. Dawne a call and I am sure that you will come to the same conclusion that I did that she is the one for you. Thank you Dr. Dawne with helping me get my life back.
Fantastic experience: I worked with Dawne remotely for a few weeks, and she was able to help me immediately deal with pain, and then restore my previous activities (golf, squatting and running). She's very thoughtful and patient, creating a very doable program and taking great care to explain in simple terms what was going on. Can't recommend her enough!!
Fantastic experience: I came here for a sports injury. Seb, Mandy and Sarah were exceptional. Seb is very knowledgeable and insightful. I have pain on my right knee from playing baseball and it feels much better after the first session. I am definitely coming back and highly recommend Performance Place to anyone with pain problems.
Thanks Ed!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I went to see Dr Sebastian & Dr Dawne for our low backs. We both have disc bulge issues. It’s been a long road and we are lucky to have found them. The whole team of therapists are knowledgeable & encouraging. They are very personable, professional and have a passion for what they do. In just a few visits we have both seen excellent results. Sebastian has pushed me through some big fears of movement and showed me I’m more capable of handling loads & movements than I thought. He’s excellent at assessing & knowing the right treatment for your individual needs. I have excelled more in the few weeks I’ve seen him than I ever imagined. I still have work to do, but I know that I’m in the right hands. I work at Trader Joe’s which is a job of constant standing, squatting, bending, twisting, lifting, pushing, pulling and lots of walking. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to return but now I have hope & can see the light at the end of the tunnel. My wife loves working with Dr Dawne. She got her out of pain right away. She helped her find the triggers that caused her pain, manage the discomfort from her sitting job, and figured out her problematic imbalances which are already improving. We are both very grateful for them & the whole team!
Thanks for sharing your story Kendall!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Performance Place! It's so difficult to find a sports physical therapist when you really need one (it's hard to plan ahead for this sort of thing.) I got an appointment within 24 hours with Dawne, and she was fantastic! I was sure my hip flexor strain was going to keep me from running for weeks, but through a video appointment she showed me some exercises to try, and encouraged me to continue running. They worked like a charm, and I didn't have to take any time off from running at all! The next time I have any issues, I'll definitely call Performance Place.
Fantastic experience: Dawne is amazing! I came in to get an adjustment and have her look at my wrist tendonitis, because I want to get rid of it and she found out through an assessment that my tendonitis pain stems from a culmination of overusage and C7 radiculopathy going all the way up my shoulder with limited mobility. Can't wait to get this fixed up more. I will definitely be back.
Fantastic experience: Dawne is absolutely incredible. Reduced the severity of my chronic nerve pain in my leg and Lower back within a few visits. After 2 months of visits and some time doing the prescribed exercises on my own the pain is gone completely. I’ve finally been able to live a pain free life. Cant recommend scheduling a visit enough!!
Thanks for sharing Brandon!
Fantastic experience: I appreciate that I can always count on Sebastian and his team to customize their treatment to my specific needs and goals.
Thanks for sharing!!
Fantastic experience: Dr Sebastian is a one of a kind Dr. He really takes a different approach when treating his patients that creates more of a successful adherence to their program and resolving the primary issue. He takes the time to explain what needs to be done. Definitely recommend!
Thank you for the kind words Nemuel!
Fantastic experience: Best of the best! I have been seeing Dr Seb for over 10 years! He helped treat low back issues, plantar fasciitis, knee pain, everything. He doesn’t just work on the issue at hand, he walks you through the mechanics of the body. I’ve had better experiences with him than any physical therapist I’ve ever been to.
Thank you Carmen!!!
Fantastic experience: I've been a huge fan of Dr. Gonzales and the Team at P2sportscare, I am young sports chiropractor, and the P2 premium podcast helps keep my skills sharp. I can say without a doubt that P2sportscare has had a huge impact on my career so far. I highly recommend them!
Thanks for sharing Kyle!
Fantastic experience: I am a current professional baseball player that was unfortunately injured last season. Dr. Seb and staff assisted in not only getting me back to healthy but also educated/informed of ways I can modify how I workout to prevent reoccurring injuries. I have also had several friends both athletes/non-athletes get taken care of and were able to match my experience as well.
Thanks for sharing Andrew!
Fantastic experience: Dawne was incredible!! She took the time to give me the most thoughtful and careful review. She made me feel so much better about my injury, while also walking me through how my pain arose in the first place. She eased all of my anxiety, and provided such great patience and understanding. I will definitely be following up with the team, and looking into their exercise videos for the future!
Fantastic experience: I was in a lot of pain and had tried different local physio and chiropractors over many months and just seemed to be getting worse. In desperation I thought I would reach out to an online therapist and selected Performance Place. From the very first session, my pain decreased and subsequently improved further. I'm still on the healing journey, but am so very thankful to Dawne for her patient guidance and providing the custom excercise program that will continue to improve my mobility and restore me to full capability.
Thank you for sharing your story Gwen!
Fantastic experience: Sebastian helped me with my right shoulder pain in record time! Something I’ve been suffering with for months melted away in under 2 weeks using some simple homework and weight training exercises. I can now do downward dog, updogs and push ups without the stabbing shoulder pain. If you’re looking for a chiropractor or physical therapist to help you call Performance Place. They we really good and worth the money
Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Working with Sebastian and Dawne has really expanded my own knowledge on managing musculoskeletal pain in such a unique way. They both are extremely thorough and caring with their patients and can do wonders with getting people out of acute and chronic pain. They are also extremely willing to teach young clinicians and guide them into a successful practice and for that I am eternally grateful!
Thank you so much for sharing Sarah!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Dawne is exceptional. She is a keen listener and extremely tuned into her patients needs. She has helped my lifelong chronic neck issues. My pain level has decreased to the lowest I have known it. Her exercises and treatment plan is dynamic and supports my needs everytime I visit her. Initially I was seeing her on a weekly basis and her goal was to enable me with exercises that would keep me in a healthy pain free state more often. I am happy to say that I have been at a really good place and have not needed to see Dr Dawn for almost 10 weeks and am still going strong. God Bless you Dr. Dawne. You rock!!!
Thank you for sharing!!
Fantastic experience: I had been feeling pain in my right wrist for about 6 weeks when I went to see Dr. Sebastian this time. I am 55 years old, and I also have muscular dystrophy, FSHD in particular, but this seemed to me like just simple old age. After 6 weeks of this pain, I was no longer able to turn a doorknob without a lot of pain and was using my left hand for everything. What kept going through my mind was that this will turn out to be arthritis and I would have to “manage” chronic pain for the rest of my life. Why did I go to Dr. Sebastian instead of my regular primary care physician? Simple, Dr. Sebastian has never prescribed me any drugs. That is important to me as I would prefer that the pharmaceutical option not be the first choice in treatment. I am not apposed to drugs when they are necessary but let’s just not go there first thing. But how effective was the drugless treatment? The pain was reduced noticeably right in his office and about two weeks later I was pain free. All by doing the exercises Dr. Sebastian recommended but, more importantly, by listening and understanding what movements I am doing that are causing the situation. In my case it had to do with packing my shoulders like when doing a farmers carry. I needed to stop with the anti-shrugs. As it turns out I was wrong about this being related to my muscular dystrophy and my assumption that it was simple old age was a bad assumption. If I had gone to my primary care physician and received a pain killer, it would have taken care of the pain, validated that I am getting old, and I would have settled in for the long haul with pain management. Instead, Dr. Sebastian educated me that it is not old age but a condition that I need to be aware of and deal with in my daily exercises. I still do farmers carries but I no longer do them every day and incorporate other exercises for my cooldown that do not involve weight pulling down on my shoulders and anti-shrugs. Pain Gone and I am not getting older!!!
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!!
Fantastic experience: I came into Dr. Sebastian's office with an irritated/compressed right ulnar nerve. I found him on his podcast after desperately searching for a year for treatment solutions. He was thorough in his tests to diagnose the problem and communicated clearly what he was looking for. The exercises he prescribed immediately helped alleviate my symptoms. My mood and confidence has increased dramatically after a whole year of barely being able to use the computer. Andrew, his intern, has been very helpful and communicative. I highly recommend at least getting a consultation to see if they can help alleviate your discomfort/pain. As a Bruin, I'm not supposed to like Dr. Sebastian, but he is the exception :)
Thank you so much for sharing Patrick
Fantastic experience: Old cycling crash injury from 2016. Low back and hip pain. After several years of chiropractic care physical therapy, massage therapy and working with primary care, thousands of dollars spent, time wasted, I discovered Performance Place. I was feeling much better after the first visit. Currently, I visit once a month for continued maintenance. My outcome from working with Dawne has been very positive. I highly recommend, especially for complicated issues.
Thank you so much!!!
Fantastic experience: At age 70, I'd been having serious right let pain for six months, during which I saw a podiatrist, a chiropractor, my primary care doc, two orthopedic surgeons, and another chiropractor, and had various xrays and MRI's with nothing appearing as a problem. I had various opinions given and treatments but with no positive results. But I knew there had to be an answer somewhere, somehow. I then got lucky and found Performance Place Care & Chiropractor via one of their YouTube videos. After two incredible appointments with Dawne Constantino, I knew I was on my way to a recovering. Now, less than two weeks after my second appointment, I am walking pain-free. No nerve pain, no cramping, no burning feeling, no nothing but freedom to walk as normal. Just yesterday, I tried a short 4 mile but with a few steep sections and had problem at all. Tomorrow, I'll be hiking 6 miles and am expecting the same result. Dawne was truly different than any other chiropractor I've EVER seen. No manipulation, no machines, no heat and cold packs, etc. She listened to me intently, observed me intently, worked with me diligently to the point where I am now the living proof of her knowledge and abilities. Plus, by me doing the proper stretches and exercises on my own time at home, I didn't have repeated visits to deal with and I now know exactly what to do going forward. Thanks Dawne!
Thank you for sharing Bruce! Awesome recovery story!!
Fantastic experience: I have been active my entire life, mostly lifting weights, hiking and yoga. I also have scoliosis and have issues with my back at times. Years ago when I threw out my back, I went to a chiropractor who then also recommended a physical therapist. I followed their treatment. I spent over a year trying to become pain-free again, but the issues were not resolved. I finally went to Seb, who was more of a drive for me to access at the time. It was the best decision I have made for keeping myself active and functioning -- by keeping up my workout schedule and being able to hike through jungles in Costa Rica or Guatemala or my recent gorilla trekking through Rwanda. Within the first week of following Seb's exercises I was pain-free. I could not believe how targeted and effective he was at diagnosing and treating. HIs motto "movement is medicine" couldn't be truer. I have flare ups in different parts of my back because of my nerve and structural issues in my spine, and Seb is always there with treatment that works. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly if you are experiencing any issues. Movement IS medicine. Seb has the expertise to help you.
Thank you for sharing LIsa!!!
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Performance Place. Dr. Sebastian and the staff are incredibly knowledgeable and professional. After sustaining a lower back injury during exercise I was left with severe sciatic pain that removed my ability to function normally in day-to-day activities. I had multiple professional opinions on my injury but Dr. Sebastian picked up on the problem right away. Within 1 session he was able to create a plan to correct the issue and help prevent it going forward. I was pain free within a week, and have been steadily regaining the mobility and strength I had prior to the injury. Dr. Sebastian and the staff have helped me rebuild my confidence with exercise and I couldn’t be more grateful!
Thank you so much for sharing David! Loved helping you through it!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Performance Place Sports Care! I live in Florida and was dealing with a leg injury and happened upon one of their YouTube videos. I reached out to them for help and Dawne followed up very quickly. She knew exactly what I was dealing with and was a huge help. Even after our consultation, she continued to follow up over the next several months to see how I was doing. I really appreciate her care and concern, and I'm thankful that the therapy and training exercises have helped me recover.
Thank you for sharing Wes. Great to work with you
Fantastic experience: Sebastian and his team are the best! I have gone through all types of therapy for my back over the last 5 years. After working with Sebastian and his team I am pain free and have exercises that I can use to help me stay strong and maintain my back. I came in completely crooked and in pain after my first visit I noticed a huge difference. What I liked best about my experience is that they customize their care specifically to my issues and are very thorough. I am glad that I found them and can't say enough good things about them.
Awww. Thanks Quin! Loved working with you!
Fantastic experience: Wow! The Physical Therapists at Performance Place are LIFE CHANGERS. You know you're at a good place when they repair you and send you on your way...no extra sales techniques or prolonged treatment plans. I came here after experiencing a L5 S1 disc herniation in my spine. I was in a car accident, where I was rear ended and it completely limited my ability to bend over and even pick up a light laundry basket. After trying 2 different chiropractors with little improvement; I found Performance Place. They thoroughly assessed my injuries and started me on a customized treatment plan. With in 2-3 weeks I was getting back to lifting weights and feeling improved mobility. By weeks 5-6 I was cleared to do just about any physical activity. I really thought I would be severely limited after my accident and was told by multiple doctors that I would be... I am so thankful that I met the team, specifically Sebastian, Marylou and Jared! They have helped me heal and regain my active lifestyle. Wishing everyone that works there many blessings!
Thanks for sharing Vince!
Fantastic experience: I am fairly active individual and was practicing my golf swing, when I did something to suddenly cause a nerve issue on my right side. Initially, I tried to massage it with a roller, used a roller on my back, and used a massage gun to ameliorate the situation. Nothing was working and it was getting worse to a point I could not even walk. And when I was moving, I could only go about 25 feet, because the pain was so excruciating. I then contacted a personal training friend of mine who worked with me for a couple of sessions and while I could walk for a few hours after a session, the pain would come back and the reward of walking was getting shorter and shorter. So the trainer recommended I go see Sebastian. A big reason I was willing to see him, was that my trainer told me that Sebastian’s answer is not to immediately try and adjust my back. Instead he give me and had me do exercises to help focus muscles to in my case activate more to help with the problem. After doing a short focused review of me by me attempting to do a few things from walking to standing, he had me focus on a few exercises and found me a relief position, so I was not in pain. Now after a few sessions with Sebastian , I am walking fine and feel comfortable to take on a daily life again. And none of this was done through a manipulation of my back or any prescribed medication. In fact, I did not even take any aspirin. Now everyone is different in this world, but for me the methodology and practical aspect of how he worked with me was I believe one of the best treatments, that has become something that I can easily follow to a continued active life. If you are looking for a practical, thoughtful, and non medicinal way to alleviate nerve/back pain, please go see Sebastian, you will be very happy with how he works with you to alleviate your issues.
Thank you for sharing Robert!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Sebastian, I must report that I'm amazed at how I've been feeling since starting your treatment. I couldn't start it until Sunday but I've been religiously doing what you taught me. With only a few days of the exercises and treatment, I was able to sit in my office chair almost the entirety of the day today in zero pain! This doesn't typically happen unless I take aleve. I didn't even notice how comfortable I was all day. I still feel the pain when I bend over and I'm definitely still doing the choreography when putting on shoes or pants, but I'm very excited about being able to sit in a chair without pain. I'm typically in pain after about 20 minutes of sitting so this is huge to go all day. I'm excited to continue the healing process. Thanks so much!!
Fantastic experience: Dr Gonzales is brilliant with an uncanny ability to correctly diagnose and treat; I believe he is truly gifted. I visited his office after suffering through a major car accident leaving me in unbearable pain and unable to walk. After putting me through a series of assessments, then ordering a CT scan to confirm his diagnosis, he began his magic. But don't think he won't make you work in your healing! He and Dr Dawn gave me unique and challenging movement exercises to be done in the office and at home, always making sure I was able to with correct form and no pain. The office is run super efficiently, and with these two doctors at the helm, you can trust you're in the best hands!
Your the best! Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic experience: I had been dealing with an SI joint injury for months and had gone to a handful of PT's and chiropractors without any results. I seriously thought I'd be injured my whole life until I found Performance Place Sports Care. Dawne is very knowledgeable and clearly wants what's best for her patients. I am so grateful for their service and would recommend them to anyone. I can now ski and play hockey pain free.
Thanks for sharing Nate!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend visiting Performance Place if you're experiencing any body ailments or injury related pain. Sebastian does a tremendous job at understanding the full picture and then designing either a program, exercises, or rehab care specific to you. In my experiences most places other places could only "treat" my issue whereas Sebastian seemed to "fix" it, or at least allow me to move forward. For example, he taught and tweaked my form so I could get back to performing modified deadlifts with zero pain, something I wasn't able to fix elsewhere, for well over a year. I have some more obstacles to work through and I'm looking forward to continuing my progression with Sebastian.
Fantastic experience: Hello, I was lucky enough to come across your YouTube video on 4 stretches for a lower back pinched nerve. My favorite I think is the frog. But all 4 combined are a complete success! I've been doing them for about 8 days now and my left leg is about 90% better. I can't believe the improvement!! And it was getting debilitating unless I took Advil everyday so what a huge difference! Thank you so much!! I am savoring being almost pain free, in that part of my body. I have some limitations. I've had a laminectomy in my lower back which for the most part works well and 2 years ago a right hip replacement and these stretches are almost all doable for me. I just can't do the one stretch on my hip replacement leg, (which you did mention might be a limitation). My problem leg was not the hip replacement one so all good. I'm going to check out other stretches that you recommend for other parts of the body. Thanks so much again! If I lived on the west coast I would be at your doorstep! Going to forward your video to a Ca. friend of mine. Patrice Duffy
Fantastic experience: I had the opportunity receive mentorship from Dr Sebastian and Dr Dawne. They are by far some of the best doctors in the area and they will not disappoint. Performance Place will always have a place in my heart.
Thanks Mike!!
Fantastic experience: This is a hidden gem in Southern California. After years of struggling with Sciatica and spending thousands of dollars on Chiropractic, Sports Therapy, Acupuncture and the like. Sebastian has been able to relieve my pain in a matter of months. With the first visit having relieved my pain from a 9 to a 4. And those of you who know sciatica know that drop in pain is extensive. Keep up the good work my friend. I am firm believer your approach to functionality and pain relief is much needed.
Thank you for sharing your story buddy!
Fantastic experience: Could not speak more highly of Dr. Gonzalez and Performance Place as a whole. After an accident back in 2016, I was still experiencing some lingering mid back pain. I saw Dr. Moore and he was extremely attentive of my history and what I wanted to accomplish with my treatment plan, which was refreshing in comparison to the numerous physical therapists I've seen in recent years, many who either ignored the complaints of pain or simply treated with the same exercises I was already doing in the gym, that weren't really helping that much. After my first day with Dr. Moore I was finally able to achieve a pain level of zero for the first time in years. I love the active approach we took in my treatment and how I now have specific tools to use to get out of pain, along with exercises and a plan to keep moving forward. Could not be happier with my experience!
Hey Wes. Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic experience: I’m based in the UK and would like to sincerely thank Dr Dawne Constantino and everyone at Performance Place for the excellent support and guidance I’ve been given to bring to a close my severe L5S1 injury with nerve and mobility issue. I would encourage anyone interested in seeking help from Performance Place to do so - even those outside of the US like me as the quality of help I’ve been given through virtual sessions has truly blown me away. No other sports physiotherapists have come close to the knowledge and skill they provide. Dawne provided tailored exercises and routines based on the latest research and science. This consistently gave me the results towards my recovery. They can do the same for you. As context I was lifting weights for over 15 years before my injury happened in my 30s. I’ve previously had private medical help with doctors, other physiotherapists and a chiropractor in the 5 years that followed. They only ever brought me to 50% recovery and a message that I would never be able to lift heavy again or fully recover without surgery. This was not true, thankfully Performance Place agreed with me, and gave me the help to fight back and work through my plateaus to get my strength, flexibility and confidence back.
Fantastic experience: This is the fourth and final stop in my one-year search for sciatic pain relief. I was struck by Dr. Sebastian Gonzales’ knowledge and authority when I watched his video on lower back pain, and I booked an initial session. After the examination, I received a diagnosis, which made me certain enough to book multiple visits – it was the best thing I could have done. My care has been precise and technical, but also compassionate – and, most important, the results have been effective and lasting. Having the tools to remain pain-free is now a reality, and I am regaining strength and stability with therapy customized for me. If you have been getting the runaround from various practitioners, and want real results, this is the place. The hour drive each way pales in comparison to the solid benefits that I have received. Thanks very much Performance Place Sports Care!
Thank you for sharing! It's been great to work with you
Fantastic experience: Recently, Dr. Sebastian Gonzales led a 6 month workshop for chiropractic students called AAA. During these workshops we were challenged to think outside the box and apply things we learned in school to real life scenarios. I can confidently say that Dr. Sebastian is super knowledgeable and confident in what he teaches. If you are a chiropractic student looking to gain more knowledge, challenge your critical thinking, and improve your coaching skills then Dr. Sebastian is your guy.
Fantastic experience: Sebastian and his team at Performance Place are amazing. I've been working with Sebastian for almost 3 years now for a low back injury. I've worked with other PTs in the area and I can definitively say that I get the most attention and care with Performance Place. Sebastian's approach to my injury has been to push my limits, but in a way that is still safe. I've been progressing more each week with his help. He's always available for a chat or an email, and he'll even check in from time to time on his own. I truly feel that I am being looked after and cared for when working with him. I 100% recommend giving him and his team a shot!
Thanks for sharing your story buddy!
Fantastic experience: I came to Performance Place for some help on a calf strain I sustained while competing as a strength athlete. Many questions were asked and I was encouraged to share as much info and details as possible which in turn made diagnosing easier. Lots of mobility and strength tests were utilized as part of the diagnosis process. The process was very through and then we went to work. Within a month the pain subsided and mobility was completely restored. They gave me homework (exercises to do) which I think is expected. I think the reason why Sebastian and his team are so successful is because they fix the issues and then teach prevention tactics so the issues don’t come back. The team was very professional and had good attitudes. It was enjoyable to work with all of them. Since they teach you prevention and resistance tactics hopefully it'll be awhile till I see them again.
Fantastic experience: I was part of a monthly workshop Sebastian led to teach practical clinical skills and reasoning to chiropractic students. This has been BY FAR the most valuable educational experience I’ve been a part of. Sebastian’s workshops taught me real, tangible skills to use as a practitioner and how and when to properly integrate them in clinic. Sebastian is a highly knowledgeable instructor who will meet you “where you’re at” and help build you up from there. He is clear, no-BS, methodical, and highly supportive while also challenging his students. Sebastian regularly spent extra time with myself and other students who had additional questions. Picking his brain for clinical knowledge is like walking into a gold mine in 1848. I HIGHLY recommend taking workshops and seminars from Sebastian, you won’t regret it!
Fantastic experience: 122 reviews - all 5 stars. That pretty much says all you need to know... Dr. Sebastian and his team have a common sense approach to empowering you to regain basic mobility, then building on that. Slow, steady and consistency. Follow their leadership, trust the process and earn your results. Love this place!
Thanks for sharing Mike!
Fantastic experience: The experience is great as they help pin point my back pain and tail bone. Then provided challenging excersize specific my pain so I can do at home. I have seen it reduced dramatically over less then three weeks. Overall, it had helped me for daily task and will recommend to my friends for any pains they have.
Thank you for sharing Gary!
