BreakingThrough San Diego Physical Therapy

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly yet professional employees. Dr Santiago listens to you and plans treatment around you concerns.

Experiencia fantástica: I went to Dr. O upon the recommendation of my Dr who completed stem cell transplants on my shoulder and back. He specifically searched for a PT who utilized shock therapy for my lower back. The therapy with Dr O completed the healing of both my back and shoulder! I have been to many PT's in the past and found them so repetitive and boring. They would have me do the same exercises at the appts as they had me do at home. Dr. O has the latest technology in utilizing the Newbie and shock wave therapy in addition to many varied exercises. In addition, he is very supportive, listens and modifies therapy as needed. He thoroughly explains what he is doing and the reason why. He makes therapy interesting, educational and enjoyable! I actually looked forward to our sessions! I highly rec. him.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Santiago and his team at Breaking Through Physical Therapy are truly exceptional. Dr. Santiago combines a unique blend of knowledge, empathy, and compassion that sets him apart as a talented physical therapist. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or navigating a life-changing diagnosis, he provides the personalized care and attention needed to support your rehabilitation journey. What really stands out is his effective use of advanced technological tools alongside tried-and-true physical therapy techniques, which will have you feeling better, faster. His deep understanding of the body, coupled with his ability to genuinely listen and address concerns, makes every session feel encouraging and productive. The entire team is professional, welcoming, and dedicated to helping you achieve your best recovery. I cannot recommend Breaking Through Physical Therapy enough for anyone seeking top-tier care!

Experiencia fantástica: Promising new Physical Therapy treatment. Great Staff!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. O and his team are amazing. Not only are they terrific people, but very competent at getting you better. The care you receive is top notch. They have varied therapies that heal many ailments, treatments nobody else has. The one on one care is remarkable. Breaking Through San Diego is our number 1.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Osorio was respectful, professional and very helpful. My therapy experience was very positive. I continue to practice some of the exercises at home.

Experiencia fantástica: Santiago and his team are the best. Breaking through physical therapy has helped me heal quickly from several injuries over the years.

Experiencia fantástica: IF YOU WANT CARING, SKILLED CARE, LOOK NO FURTHER! I left two other pathetic physical therapy centers before finding this place. I’d get maybe 15 minutes with a PT and the rest of the time working with inept, untrained assistants who were assigned to at least one or two others making it impossible to monitor you. Santiago and Ashley are excellent physical therapists who are devoted to your recovery. They watch you closely making sure you are doing your exercises accurately. They explain everything and have an app with videos to use for your homework! There are no untrained staff wandering around. I am delighted with the progress I am making in their capable hands!! I highly recommend this amazing place. Sheila S.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience with Dr Osorio has been extremely beneficial. I'm the type of person that is skeptical about everything and never believes anything. I am doing so much better than I was and I keep seeing progress. I use a walker and since I have been doing this treatment, I need it less and less. I actually see a time that I won't need it at all. The thing that is great is that I have MS and I am still seeing this kind of progress. If anyone is doubting the benefits of physical therapy, please give it a try, the results are undeniable.

Experiencia fantástica: I have multiple injuries and have postponed getting treatment for many years. This is a guy thing...accept the pain and move on... Then I discovered Dr Santiago...he listens and really delivers.

Experiencia fantástica: I started here for a work comp injury for my Rt Shoulder and later I hurt my Rt knee playing Pickle Ball, tearing a ligament. Dr O was doing such a great job on my shoulder, I added physical therapy for my knee with him. He has been able to get my Rt knee and leg back in shape as well as my Lt leg too, to keep me stable. It’s a work out, but I like coming here. Thank You Dr O

Experiencia fantástica: I have had many different experiences with physical therapy Dr. Osorio is by far the best ever. I feel I received the most comprehensive therapy for my problem When needed that is the only facility I would consider

Experiencia fantástica: Very happy I found this place. Looking forward to improving my strength and mobility here.

Experiencia fantástica: Great job .

Experiencia negativa: I highly recommend you AVOID this practitioner. I wish I had. I had a horrible experience with Dr. Osario. He was helping me with upper back strain. He preformed a chiropractic adjustment on me and severely injured my rib. I had to go to urgent care the pain was so severe. After doing an XRAY, the doctor at Urgent Care said it was a severe bruise or possibly broken/cracked rib but I'd need a CT scan (very expensive) to find out if it was broken and the treatment was the same. It took over a year to somewhat recover and I still have pain. For 3 months I was unable to walk vigorously, since it hurt to breathe deeply, or swim since I could not engage in full range of motion without pain. I still have pain almost 2 years later when I cough.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Santiago and staff are very thoughtful and extremely informative and passionate about getting every patient back to a healthy and pain-free life. BTSD will use every measure and means to make every patient feel comfortable.

Experiencia fantástica: I have seen several Physical Therapists in my lifetime. Dr Osorio is the BEST. I had severe lower back pain, Sciatica, etc Dr Osorio creates a plan that works for each of his patients. He expects you to do some of these exercises at home after your biweekly session in order to improve each week. If there is a problem with the exercise he always creates a new plan. I appreciate the fact that he listened to what and where you were having pain. I occasionally have minor bouts of pain but I know what exercises to help alleviate it. Thank you Dr Osorio!

Experiencia fantástica: Great lesson and technique for reducing pain and for any future or other musculoskeletal condition I’ll have , I may have no problem of doing everything that he did taught to me therapeutically ..Bravo Zulu !Doc Santiago..

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Osario and his team provided me and my family with the highest level of care!. Me, my husband and two sons were all clients of Dr. Osario’s at the same time. Dr. Osario is personable, knowledgeable, and thorough in his practices. His establishment is kept clean and tidy. I highly recommend him.

Experiencia fantástica: Hurt my back trying to do sit-ups. Breaking Through is helping me heal. They are very patient and knowledgeable.

Experiencia fantástica: Worth the drive no matter where you live in San Diego. Dr. Santi and his staff are amazing. I highly recommend. Even after care was completed Dr. Santi checks in to see how I’m doing. He personally checks in. Excellent care and he really thinks through his treatment plan with you leaving no stone unturned.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Osorio is very tactful at telling you what you need to hear rather than what you want to hear. I chose BreakingThrough for the quality of care and the genuine approach for concern of my health. Thank you very much!

Experiencia fantástica: I visited BreakingThrough SDP because of chronic shoulder pain caused by heavy lifting over the years (I am 66). My daughter (a chiropractor) met with Dr. Osorio and was very impressed with his program. She recommended I sign up with him. My experience at BreakingThrough has been all good. Dr. Osorio addressed my posture and shoulder pain. He had me perform many different arm strengthening and shoulder/arm movements with use of elastic bands to help improve my range of motion and arm and back muscle tone to improve my upper body strength, posture and arm muscle tone. (A side benefit of this has been lessening of old lady upper arm waggle. Yay.) The exercises I learned from Dr. Osorio are a variety of simple, gentle movements with restrictive bands, easily done at home and very effective for my goal to improve and maintain my upper body strength. Thank you Dr. Osorio! 3/20/2024 following up on my last comment, I tripped and fell while tidying up our garage in January and landed square on my shoulder. So painful. I gave it a couple weeks to heal, but eventually gave in and went to 8-2-8 urgent care 4171 Oceanside Blvd in Oceanside, CA where X-ray revealed I fractured the bone in my upper arm. 8-2-8 referred me to Dr. Erik Stark, an osteopath in Carlsbad. Dr. Stark recommended I wear a sling for several weeks rather than surgery. Over the course of 2.5 months I had 2 or 3 follow up visits and additional x-rays to monitor healing process. I’m nearly “there” and looking forward to physical therapy at BreakingThrough with Dr. Osorio. His assistant is very kind and helpful with scheduling, and gathering and submission of info for their mandatory records. Dr. Osorio is consistently attentive to visual clues relating to injury and response to treatments. He seems to tailor certain treatments for each injury. I’ve discovered over the years that physical treatment for injury is not like a gentle massage. It can be painful, but the end result helps to feel better overall and work towards a point of minimal pain or freedom from pain. When injuries are more than a bruise or a strain it’s important to engage with my therapist as well as my Osteopath and be clear about my pain. That way we can all do a better job of helping the healing process. I find Dr. Osorio to be creative and determined to help me understand what works to alleviate my aches and pains even if treatment hurts a bit (around the tendons—ouchie!) while working on strengthening my framework to stay healthy and safe. Thank you Dr. Osorio!

Experiencia fantástica: Not just a conventional physical therapy experience, but more. A one hour personal therapy session tailored for your needs. I highly recommend Doctor Osario to assist you in a treatment plan with results.

Experiencia fantástica: My PCP referred me to Breaking Through PT because I was having pain in my right knee from weight training exercises. Dr. Osorio assessed my situation and found that when I was performing certain exercises I wasn't keeping my knee aligned properly making it twist and causing me pain. He suggested some exercises to help strengthen my leg and ankle muscles to better support my knee and this has helped tremendously. I was also taking pain medication 'as needed' but no longer need to take it because now I know if I feel pain I'm not in proper alignment and need to correct my positioning. Dr. Osorio's treatment has helped me step up my workouts and have a stronger mind-muscle connection.

Experiencia fantástica: Todos muy amables.. llegue con mi rodilla lastimada no podía doblarla para tras y con la ayuda de las terapias pude doblarla .. muchas gracias Santiago recomendado 100/100 .

Experiencia fantástica: Best physical therapist I have encountered. Dr. Osorio has helped me immensely with chronic pain I have had for years. Kind and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Breakthrough physical therapy. Friendly staff and courteous.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Santiago Osorio is very knowledgeable, but his best trait is how much he truly cares for his patients. I have experienced that personally.

Experiencia fantástica: The best!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Osorio was very helpful to me as I have been dealing with neuropathy. He tried a variety of modalities including Neubie, Blood Flow Restriction and exercises to reduce the edema in my foot and relieve the tingling and pain that comes with neuropathy. He is flexible, encouraging and an easy person to work with on physical issues.

Experiencia fantástica: I was a patient for summer of 2022 with BreakingThrough San Diego Physical Therapy in North County San Diego, Oceanside. I had should rotator cuff injury. Dr Santiago provided physical therapy to increase my mobility range of motion to allow me to be more active and prepare for a triathlon. Very personal care and service is what stands out with Dr. Santiago and his staff. I appreciate his experience, knowledge, skills, and professionalism. The one-on-one service is better than any other physical therapy practice I have been a patient at over my long years of athletic activities. Use of new therapy techniques, stimulation, scraping, and cupping all combined for great results. I highly recommend BreakingThrough San Diego Physical Therapy to anyone that wants to rehabilitate their injury with great personal attention and professionalism. Thank you, Dr. Santiago, for your great service and care for my rehabilitation to my injury.

Experiencia fantástica: All I say is “THANK YOU DR. Santiago “ I have had less pain, more flexibility, and better balance in 6 weeks of treatments than I’ve had in 8 years with other therapists. I have had a really great experience working with him.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Osorio and Shelby really helped me in my recovery of badly bruised ribs. Their experience and knowledge is on top, I highly recommend them. The combination of the Neubie electrical stimulation (to re-educate muscles and change neurological patterns) and the more traditional physical therapy was really helpful. The pain went down and my range of movement improved very quickly for ribs issue! And I learned how to move better to stay healthy on the long run. Thank you

Experiencia fantástica: I would recommend Dr. Osorio to anyone, best PT ever!

Experiencia fantástica: I’m giving Dr. Santiago and staff 5 stars because not only were they very welcoming and professional, they also improved my core strength, overall strength, and balance. I have been in Physical Therapy for years now and have never had results this fast. I will be coming back if my insurance permits. Thanks Dr. Santiago and staff for everything.

Experiencia fantástica: If I can give 10 stars I would! Doctor Osorio is a top notch professional and absolutely exceptional human being! He is so dedicated and determined to get you better! The place is always clean. I will always be grateful for thr help I got from Breaking Through!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Santiago Osorio really help me recover from my surgery. Not only in building up my muscles again but also with pain management.

Experiencia fantástica: Very best team ! So gentle and caring! Dr Santiago is the best in listening to your concerns and creating an individual treatment plan that meets yours need ! Definitely recommend !

Experiencia positiva: The reason I'm giving the 4 rating was because I was unable to be helped and was frustrated with feeling like I wasn't pushing hard enough or trying hard enough. After finishing unsuccessful treatment I found a new doctor who has diagnosed me with a rare condition called CRPS or complex regional pain syndrome. I know you have had a lot of success and the staff is extremely kind, it just didn't work for me.

Experiencia fantástica: Knowledgeable, friendly, caring. Works with client at their rate of recovery. Small, independently owned. Keeps clients well seperated while they work out. Relaxing environment to be treated in.

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional and fun at the same time. Friendly atmosphere, individualized attention. Only a few patients at a time so you really feel cared for. It’s a huge difference compared to a giant roomful of patients with a few therapists and many aides as my experience was previously in other physical therapy offices previously. This is definitely the place I’m going back to if I ever need it and highly recommend it to my family and friends. Thank you Dr. Osorio for helping me get all better!!! Monika

Experiencia fantástica: I was unable to sleep at times due to the pain in my shoulder. I was not sure what to expect going into physical therapy, but I was excited. A few months of PT with Dr. Santiago and I have no more, pain I can sleep comfortably and I can actually do my workouts. I am so happy!!

Experiencia fantástica: I went to Dr. Santiago early last year for issues regarding my neck and back. He was very professional and helpful. He provided me with a treatment plan that truly helped my case. I felt better after the first session. I enjoyed going to his clinic and would continue to do so if I didnt have to switch insurance providers.

Experiencia fantástica: They will help you to get rid of the pain

Experiencia fantástica: I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Osorio. He has a very calming and respectful demeanor. He is very knowledgeable in the anatomy and took the time to educate me on the cause of my neck pain and the best treatment approach. Before my evaluation, I wasn’t able to turn my head for 2 days and after one session with Dr. Osorio I felt immediate relief and full range of motion. Thank you! Highly recommend especially for manual therapy treatment.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. O knows his stuff! I was recently in a car accident & within a couple of weeks he has helped me with the muscle pain from my neck to my lower back. I cannot lie his sessions are intense but I have seen a lot of progress . I definitely recommend him, he is very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly just like his staff! Thank you all!

Experiencia fantástica: After a car accident, my doctor recommended dr. Santiago for physical therapy. And let me just say that they welcome everyone with opened hands. He gets to the point and works hard and expect you to give it your 100 percent to recover fast. His staff is amazing Cynthia is one of the best reception ladies I’ve met! Always on top of her A game! Like I said I was broken. When I got there, and Santiago made me feel like it was all going to be ok. That’s when I knew he I was in the right place. Best physical therapist I know in Oceanside. Though he is tough, but at the end of the day he wants what’s best for you. After weeks you just become so close... it’s gonna be hard not seeing him.

Experiencia fantástica: He tenido una excelente terapia con el Doctor Solorio. Al principio pensaba que mi mano no quedaría bien pero gracias a el todo va bien para mi en lo personal es un excelente terapeuta.Cuando desperté de mi cirugía todo mi mundo se bino abajo sin poder mover mi mano y gracias a el todo va muy bien con mi brazo.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Osorio is very thorough in his assessment. I had been to 3 other physical therapists in the last 4 years for the same issue, each lasting 12 visits over 6 weeks; and none of those took care of my problem. My pain was daily and debilitating. Dr. Osorio found the real source and I was pain free after the first visit. The difference here is the personalized treatment you get from the doctor at each visit, not just going through the motions or exercises with a technician (like at other PTs). Dr. Osorio also has state of the art equipment and treatment modalities that I have not had anywhere else. Hands down the best PT!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Osario is awesome! He worked hard to find exercises that would build strength without making the pain/issue worse. Nice facility and great one on one care!

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful place to go for physical therapy! They helped me with my lower back pain in less than a month! They also showed me alternative ways to workout without using the muscles that were in pain. 10/10 would recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Came to BreakingThrough SD PT in 2020 via a referral from a friend and I've had great success. I had a bad injury to my left achilles in 2012 that ended up with me getting a transplanted tendon in its place. The traditional PT didn't do much for me and ended up limping along and no strength in my lower left leg. Dr. Osorio introduced me to some great exercises and methods to get me back on track. My left calf had severe muscle atrophy and I was unable to lift my left heel off the ground. Since PT started with him, I've seen fantastic results and increase in strength. I had resigned myself to feeling lucky that I could walk and now I'm back to jogging and doing physical activities that I was not able to do before I started PT. Dr. Osorio is very attentive to my treatment and I'm very grateful for my friends referral. Thank you BreakingThrough San Diego Physical Therapy!

Experiencia fantástica: "No pain no Gain...physical therapist with a brain.....great services...attention to detail....flexible hours...so dont break a Leg or arm on purpose....if you do this is the guy your Doc should send you too......#roadtorecovery

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been coming to Breakthrough San Diego for my shoulder injury for about a month now. Dr. Santiago Osorio is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He will push you in the right ways in order to help! I have more work to do but I finally have hope that I’ll have use full of my arm again! Thank you Dr. Santiago Osorio!

Experiencia fantástica: I had the opportunity to consult with Santiago for a knee pain and I couldn't find a more experienced and professional person. After some exercises he told me in clear words the problem that we had to work on and improve. He sent me some personalized exercises that are working 100% and also took the time to call me after the consultation on several occasions to make sure everything was fine with my knee and how I was improving. Thank you very much to Santiago and to the working group of this clinic. Recommended

Experiencia fantástica: I started seeing Dr. Santiago Osorio in July 2020. I was referred to him by my podiatrist because of severe ankle pain. I was very impressed and would recommend him for three big reasons. 1. The fact that we were/are in a pandemic and how much care he and his office staff took to keep me and his team safe. 2. Dr. Santiago is really good at what he does and he really helped me. He has a ton of knowledge and techniques that he uses to accomplish the goals you set with him. 3. He invested in good equipment/tools, technology and learning so he could start an innovative practice. If you are tired of being in pain, I would highly recommend Dr. Santiago Osorio at Breakingthrough San Diego Physical Therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: Santiago is a brilliant PT and this clinic is amazing. Clean and professional. I’ve never been to a clinic where I actually had one on one care from a PT. Check out the machine for strengthening with the tourniquet. I got a heck of a workout with light weights and without sending my arthritis into any pain.
