Best Performance & Physical Therapy

Experiencia fantástica: BEST Performance & Physical Therapy holds true to their name! I have been dealing with a shoulder issue off and on for a couple of years after a bad night-time parachute landing. However, over the last 6 months it got way worse. After dealing with the VA, I went through the TRICARE system to be referred out in town to Melissa at Best Performance. After my first session my should was 50% better and my pain was manageable. In less than a month my pain is gone and I am back in the water. Melissa and her team are extremely knowledgable, professional and take a personal interest in your recovery. I would recommend them to my closest friends and family. Thank you so much Best Performance and Physical Therapy for helping me, I truly appreciate it.

Experiencia negativa: I would give 0 stars if I could….Dr Mel became very defensive and created a very uncomfortable environment. Ended up walking out and not finishing my session. Very sad to say as I was referred here.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely life changing. I’ve had lower back and hip pain for many years and recently it got so bad that I had to figure something out. I considered PT many times but was under the wrong impression that it was simply stretches that I could either do on my own or that simply wouldn’t work. I’m happy to admit that I was very wrong. Melissa and her team all but eliminated the pain I’ve been having for so long. They’re all great people, go out of their way to truly help, and can easily tell how much they care about improving your quality of life from reduced pain and increased strength. Couldn’t recommend enough! If you’re on the fence, just go check it out. Stick with it for a few months. And then you can come back and write a similar review.

Experiencia negativa: Because I was already a patient here, Melissa refused to take my insurance and treat my lower back when it started to hurt. She said I had to pay cash. I was unable to see another PT in time and two days later my lower back seized up and I spent two days in bed in extreme pain. It could all have been avoided. The problem wasn't my insurance policy, it was her business decision.

Experiencia fantástica: Great PT clinic. This facility truly has it all! Super clean, experienced therapist that I trust to rehab me from an extensive shoulder surgery. Melissa is highly skilled.

Experiencia fantástica: I LOVE this place. I always feel so good after a Cryo sesh and some infrared sauna. Plus Melissa is the best therapist. She had helped me so much with my shoulder injury after I never thought I would be able to go back to yoga. Highly recommended ‍♀️

Experiencia fantástica: Mel is hands down the best PT I’ve been to. She went above and beyond to help me treat my neck pain. I went to a few chiropractors and it wasn’t doing the trick. She did cupping and Graston work on me. Game changer! She got to the root of the problem and gave me a bunch of exercises to do at home. Sooo thankful for her! Thanks Mel. I’ll see you on Tuesday for PT!

Experiencia fantástica: After a nearly 14 year hiatus from playing tennis, I returned to the sport last fall. Thinking I could pick up where I left off in 2007, I began experiencing extreme shoulder pain followed by tennis elbow. I went to BEST Performance & Physical Therapy, and after two sessions began to feel significantly better. Melissa and her staff are knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. They also make rehabbing an injury fun! I completed four sessions and was able to get back to serving aces as if I was never injured. I still do the prescribed exercises at home and am truly thankful for Melissa and her staff. I highly recommend BEST Performance & Physical Therapy to anyone suffering from an injury.

Experiencia fantástica: Highest recommendation for Dr. Melissa Jacka at Best Performance & Physical Therapy in Cardiff. I am a family doctor practicing in Encinitas for the last 18 years. She is hands-down the best physical therapist I know. Not only do I refer all of my patients to her but I am also a patient myself. In the last year, I had a very serious traumatic injury with a long and difficult recovery. Five months ago I was in a wheelchair and couldn’t walk at all. It is only through her expertise, compassion and dedication that I have finally healed. Today I ran on a treadmill at Best Performance for the first time in 13 months. I was moved to tears. I am eternally grateful for Melissa and her entire team at Best Performance & Physical Therapy! It’s also important to note that Melissa has been providing exceptional physical therapy in Encinitas for over 13 years but took the courageous leap in February 2020 open her own PT business. Despite the horrible timing of the pandemic she has poured her heart and soul into building a state of the art facility and providing a warm and inviting environment with a friendly staff for all her patients. Let’s help her keep her business alive! ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Melissa is an amazing physical therapist and I am so grateful for her help. I am recovering from a broken ankle, and I felt so much better even after the first session. She uses innovative techniques and truly cares to help you return to your normal life after an injury. I appreciate the one-on-one attention and super clean facility. I can't say enough good things about Melissa and Best Performance & Physical Therapy. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I love Best Performance! Melissa and Leah are amazing and they have the latest equipment if you are looking for cryotherapy and/or infrared saunas. Melissa has been using cupping with Cryotone to address scarring that has bothered me for years. In only three sessions these two treatments together have made a noticeable difference. I highly recommend Best Performance & Physical Therapy.
