MUV Physical Therapy & Pilates

Experiencia fantástica: MÜV and all of its wonderful people has done so much for me over the past year or two that it's hard to capture in a single review. Everyone is incredibly welcoming and a master of their craft. Their expertise is only matched by how much they care and listen. Without them, I never would have been properly diagnosed and got the surgery I needed for my hip, as well as the post-hip surgery rehab with them that got me back golfing in 6 months time.

Experiencia fantástica: Mollie is one of the best in her field. She genuinely cares about her patients treatment and always reads me well delivering the best physical therapy sessions tailored to my needs every time ! Thank you Mollie - highly recommended!!! Can not thank you enough

Experiencia fantástica: Completely different experience from what I was expecting. In a great way. After a pretty bad crossfit injury I am now back at the gym doing why I love. And more aware of my body mechanic than ever. Thanks guys!

Experiencia fantástica: People there are extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. They really know how to help and teach.

Experiencia positiva: Okay. Many sessions where the PT was talking/quizzing her student on what was going on with me, which felt very analytical and a little dehumanizing. Didn’t feel like I made much progress, but my case is very, very complex. Also didn’t feel super strengths based/empowering - a lot of critiquing/pointing out (times two with the student) what I was wrong, which I personally found discouraging. The therapist was curious and did spend a fair amount of time with patients, so that’s a plus.

Experiencia fantástica: I was recently referred for physical therapy after my shoulder replacement surgery. A good friend raved about her results from PT with Erin at MUV, so that is where I chose to go for my rehab. Erin has been awesome! Thanks to her therapy regimen, at my 4 week recovery point I was ahead of schedule and achieving several of my 6 week mobilization goals. Erin has also been phenomenal in helping me to overcome my physical therapy/mental frustrations related an unanticipated post-op complication. Without a doubt, Erin clearly understands and implements in her program the body, mind, and spirit interconnections, all elements for my successful healing and recovery process. Thanks to her gentle pushing of me, and her support, I am well on the road to a successful recovery. Thank you Erin and MUV!

Experiencia fantástica: Happy, fun PT office with very professional doctors of PT. They utilize targeted therapy with Pilates to achieve personal goals. My experience is mostly with Marissa who is caring, knowledgeable and responsive. I also enjoyed working with Diego, Molly & Erin. Danielle, the office manager, makes sure all runs smoothly with a smile. I feel my immediate goals were met and I will return for any further PT needs in the future. Personally, I don’t think you could find a better PT group. Kat

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Marissa was my PT before she joined MUV. Of course, I followed her because she is a fantastic therapist and a a wonderful person. She is always concerned with how I am feeling and any issues I am having. She helped me avoid surgery when my shoulder was frozen and now she is helping me with neck issues that affect my whole spine. At MUV, Dr. Marissa has the Reformers to help with my PT AND I can attend Pilates class under the direction of my therapist! The classes are wonderful! Only 4 reformers, so we all get individual attention. It so nice to take an hour exercise class and know I am being assisted by a trainer who knows all my issues! My husband just started seeing Dr. Marissa for his spinal issues and I am so happy he is. At 60 and 64 years of age, Dr. Marissa is helping us both to live life to the fullest!!

Experiencia fantástica: I vas very fortunate to work with Mollie for several months pre-covid. I've worked with several clinics in the area and this was by far my best experience. I really appreciated the integrity and ethics of the sessions and billings from the first day to the last day. I want to extend my thanks to MUV for their hard work and dedication to patient care. I would definitely recommend MUV to a friend or family member in need of help with their rehab.

Experiencia fantástica: I have the best care at MUV for scoliosis. Dr. Mollie has great knowledge and ability to explain things in a way that makes sense. Her treatment techniques and qualifications to use the Pilates Reformer for rehabilitation are excellent...I would not go anywhere else for my treatment.

Experiencia fantástica: Here is an update to my progress. Unfortunately, i stopped seeing Dr. Mollie in March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the tremendous care she gave me for 6 months has allowed me to continue to progress. My surgeon told me it would be two full year until i was going to be as normal as i could be, however, i would have to work for each milestone. Starting my therapy within a month of surgery was the best thing i could have done. 3 months after surgery i could start putting weight on my foot. however, Dr Mollie kept working the motion in my ankle. gently but firmly at first. and then when i could start putting weight on my leg she really worked me. She encouraged me to walk on sand and uneven ground and that was really uncomfortable. However, fast forward almost 11 months, i am walking on uneven ground almost every day and have more motion each time. It's still not like it was before, but improvement every day! And although i wanted to be riding my bike by January (ha ha ha), i did it in May and it felt great (but boy was i winded)! Need a therapist who will help you heal and improve? Go to MUV! Original Post about Dec 2019 I was never a believer in Physical Therapy, then i had an accident a year ago and PT helped me considerably to get my life back to normal. This year, I had ANOTHER accident (shattered the bottom of my leg and had to have surgery) and I needed PT again. This time, however, it required an upgraded service. My doctor found MUV and i started PT 6 weeks ago. 3 weeks out of surgery, the mobility of my ankle and foot was almost nil. The pain was intense and I basically had a club foot. Dr. Mollie started working my foot with intense massages and breaking down the tightness and scar tissue that had developed. She prescribed me exercises that were appropriate for my recovery and pain level. And each following appointment, i could see the incredible improvements. its now 2 months after surgery and my surgeon is pleased with my progress. He even said i could start putting partial weight on my leg (originally he told me 3 months). I am also now riding a non-resistance bicycle at my appointments that i also thought would be at the 3 month mark. My at rest pain is now gone due to the healing. But my ankle and foot still have a ways to go. However, I am so much further along due to the excellent care and direction Dr. Mollie is providing me. Don't think PT is a pain free massage, however. I get worked every session. I can take pain pretty well, but I have to bite the pillow a few times as she stretches what doesn't want to be stretched. No Pain No Gain!! I'll update my review once i can start walking again because i know there is more to go. But if you are looking for a knowledgeable team who provided incredible personal care, go visit MUV Physical Therapy in Carlsbad. by the way, the photos are what they are dealing with!!

Experiencia fantástica: I am a recently retired board certified Orthopedic Surgeon who required Physical Therapy after knee surgery. The care that I received at MUV Physical Therapy was outstanding. Dr. Mollie is an extremely knowledgeable Physical Therapist who practices her profession in a caring and effective manner. A great deal of focus and attention to the individual needs of the patient is clearly a priority at her clinic, and is much appreciated. I would recommend her and her clinic to any friend or family member in need of Physical Therapy enthusiastically!

Experiencia fantástica: I am a Registered Nurse who had never heard of Rehabilitation Pilates. Thank heaven my other nurse friend had. She had severe nerve complications from a hip replacement and has recovered which she attributes to Rehab Pilates on the reformer. She is no longer using, “handfuls,” of pain medications. I was diagnosed with Parkinson disease almost two years ago which involved my whole right side. I was losing weight rapidly, had problems with balance, and dizziness. I was trying to learn how to eat and write with my left hand, could not cut my own meat or open medicine bottles, used a cane, and struggled to get into and get out of a car. I changed doctors and medication. I joined Rock Steady Parkinson's Boxing Classes but I was so weak I was having trouble participating and was afraid they would kick me out, (they don’t do that but I didn’t know). My nurse friend came and stayed with me for a week. She located MÜV Rehabilitation in Carlsbad, and insisted I go. I did and have been an enthusiastic client every since. Both young ladies have their Doctorate in Rehabilitation Therapy and use Pilates with a reformer when indicated. My health insurance covered my care until I graduated to weekly classes, which are very reasonably priced. Pilates rehab helped me get stronger, decrease pain in my neck and upper back, and targeted areas I needed to strengthen to improve my posture, balance and perform in my boxing class I am now walking without a cane, can get out of a car, write, open most bottles and feel great. All of my symptoms, with medication and exercise, have gone away or improved. My Doctors and I are very pleased with my work and progress. I sing MÜV praises where and whenever I can. I referred several friends who have received treatments and all have been very pleased with MÜV.

Experiencia fantástica: Erin Haffner is an awesome PT. You can tell she genuinely wants to see her patients improve. I am more than pleased with my experience here.

Experiencia fantástica: Muv is seriously the best place to go for safe and result-oriented physical and occupational therapy. The doctors are 100% involved with their patients, giving them the best of care. I had a knee replacement and I can tell you that a joint replacement is no joke. You need dedicated attention from both your PT and yourself to achieve maximum mobility and that is why I drive all the way from Carmel Valley to Carlsbad for PT. It's also incredibly fortunate that I can transition from PT to a pilates class on site...this is a great perk if you want to maintain wellness during and after treatment. Thank you MUV PT & PILATES!!!
