ACIC Physical Therapy and Performance Institute

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with all three physical therapists and had a great experience with all of them! Each was professional and assisted me to recovery after a major surgery!

Fantastic experience: All the team of ACIC is great, if you need rehab, just go here!! They TAKE CARE of you.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend ACIC Physical Therapy! The staff at ACIC got me back to playing softball after knee surgery. They are very kind and make you feel comfortable. The staff is very knowledgeable and kept me on track for my recovery. I cannot thank them enough!

Fantastic experience: I have received treatment for 4 conditions (knees, shoulder) spanning more than a decade at ACIC and it will be my PT of choice in the future. My husband is a fan, too. Stacy and each member of the staff are so positive, knowledgeable and encouraging. The hands-on approach and guided work-outs are personal and effective. The space is clean, organized, in a great location with ample parking. It is evident that they work well with all ages and abilities!

Fantastic experience: This place is great! The staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable on the treatment you are receiving. I am receiving treatment after hip fracture and very pleased with the results. Many thanks to the entire team for the tremendous support! I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: My son injured his shoulder during a water polo game. He could not lift his arm initially. We learned of ACIC from a friend. They have done such a great job with my son. Everyone is so friendly and kind. My son enjoyed going and recovered quickly. We will definitely use them again.

Fantastic experience: Yes, there are PT places out there, but if you want a supportive, caring environment that gets the job done, l highly recommend ACIC Physical Therapy. Stacy Pearl and her staff are awesome!

Fantastic experience: I wanted to leave my personal thoughts about ACIC in Irvine, Ca. I had Rotator surgery and I knew which place I wanted to go to for myself to get as strong as I was prior to my accident and that was ACIC. My boys played for a competitive travel ball baseball team BPA and I was introduced to John Dougherty who was helping a few of our players with a lot of throwing arm strains. My boys were suffering from pain in their arms and went in for therapy for proper arm strength and conditioning and they were very weak with their decelerator muscles the ones kids and players don't strengthen normally and why they get sore and hurt shoulders and elbows. John has been working with several high school team players and college players in the local area and has a very good understanding of what training regime to give each person that comes in after he has done his evaluation on each persons issue. Everyone at ACIC are very experienced in the rehab department and they keep a sharp eye on how you are doing each exercise correctly, if not they will stop and correct your motions immediately. Now back to why I ended up going here after several years of damage to my body from numerous other surgeries, I search for people that will get me back athletically to where I was or better shape than prior to the injury. Face it as we get older I got a bit lazy and my workouts were more playing a lot of sports and not strengthening my body or working on my flexibility. I feel so weak when I'm doing my exercises each week, but it has to be done or you will pay the price later in life with chronic pain. ACIC has a family feel to it and after a few visits everyone knows you and its very comfortable to workout in this environment, I hate going to gyms not my thing, and never has been. They have two private rooms for people that prefer to be seen alone. The equipment is great and has all the equipment to get to work on your exercises. The staff at ACIC cares about their clients/patients as they are always watching you. I can't say that about other PT places I have been too in the past. Yes I would recommend ACIC to my family and my friends with no hesitations.

Fantastic experience: John and Stacy and the rest of the team planned the perfect schedule to rehab my shoulder back to strength. They catered my programs based on the needs of my injury and to my preference. I would gladly recommend anyone to come do your physical therapy here for great expertise and an excellent experience!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best physical therapy group I have ever been to. Unfortunately, have been riddled with multiple injuries so I've seen my fair share of therapists. ACIC is by far the best, and would go back if I need to in the future.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic team. I was in there for a heel injury and was nursed back to health in no time.

Fantastic experience: ACIC is the best physical therapy around!

Fantastic experience: Shoulder surgery: full thickness tear of supraspinatus, Type 2 SLAP Tear, infraspinatus tear Drs Stacy & Sibylle are gentle, patient with questions, happy & fun. The exercises are effective. Ramona is super professional & thoughtful with scheduling. The aides, Allie & Nicole are very efficient and helpful.

Fantastic experience: This team was super professional and courteous. They took really good care of my son. And he's now back in action ready to play his favorite sport.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend or say enough about ACIC! I've been coming to ACIC for various injuries and through multiple knee surgeries for a number of years and always feel confident that John & Stacy will help me get back to playing tennis and my active lifestyle as quickly and as safely as possible. They listen carefully to what's going on with my injuries, assess them thoroughly to see what is wrong and walk you through the best next steps to get you back to 100%. Unlike previous physical therapy centers I've been to, John & Stacy are very hands on in your treatment and exercises so you get the best care. I always feel confident going to see them about any issues or injuries and know between them and their staff, I'm in the best hands. They make physical therapy enjoyable!

Fantastic experience: I don't feel like many people typically enjoy going to Physical Therapy but I literally had so much fun every single time I went and my knee issues were resolved quickly and effectively. The entire staff was wonderful to work with, and provided easy at home workouts to continue to build up my strength. So here's hoping I have another injury again soon?

Fantastic experience: Stacy Pearl and her entire staff are professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. They listened to my needs and were open to feedback. The bottom line... my back hurt when I started PT and the pain was gone when I finished PT!

Fantastic experience: All of the staff were very professional and very friendly. Everybody help me recover from my surgery

Fantastic experience: Dr. Pearl and John are very experienced, cordial, and trustworthy. I have been going them since the mid 2000's at their old location. They helped me recover from 3 knee surgeries and currently an ankle/foot injury from basketball

Fantastic experience: Dr. Stacy Pearl and John are the most knowledgeable, insightful physical therapy professionals I’ve ever worked with. Their treatments and take-home work plan produced results quicker than I expected. Their techniques deliver solid results, reflected in how I went from limping with a very sore left knee after just a mile of walking to biking 8 miles a day a few weeks later. I'm thrilled to be able to get back to my workout routine because of their help. I have learned more from them about how to take care of my knees, both of which had arthroscopic knee surgery from previous sports injuries than I have in years of going to multiple physical therapists. Dr. Pearl, John, and the ACIC staff have created a positive environment for injury recovery that delivers results.

Fantastic experience: PRO TEAM Drs Stacey, John & Sibylle are all VERY EXPERIENCED & VERY GOOD, as are the whole team! My daughter rehabbed her volleyball injuries & I have rehabbed 2 knees & a ruptured Achilles’ tendon. I trust them to do a thorough excellent job!

Fantastic experience: Stacy and her team are pretty amazing!, I had lower back surgery and I’ve been coming to Acic for my physical therapy and it’s really helped me recover from it… they provide personal customer service and are always helpful and smiling and I would highly recommend them for all your physical therapy needs! Love them!

Fantastic experience: Excellent therapists! Great attention to detail, caring and patient specific needs...Highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic PT, great team that works well together. I just had knee surgery and they did a great job getting me up and getting me stronger. The team approach works well, there is always someone to keep you moving.
