Sports Performance Physical Therapy

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been working with therapist Brandon for about 4 months via zoom now and he’s been great. Very professional, very knowledgeable and genuinely wants to help his patients improve and get better. I did stem cells and I was told that this team has knowledge and experience with stem cell patients so that’s why I chose them and so far I couldn’t be happier. Brandon has helped me be able to do basic life things again like walk, ride a bike, and most importantly enjoy play time with my kids. I still have a long road in my recovery but I trust that sports performance will help me get there. I recommend this team to anyone that is looking for a good physical therapist.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Morgan was incredibly helpful. I felt like she understood my problem and made the path to recovery very manageable and effective. I’m doing much better because I was able to see her

Experiencia fantástica: I was in town for only a few days and was able to get 2 appointments in at Sports Performance PT. After just 2 sessions, Dr. Morgan was able to assess the current state of my shoulder post-injury and build an effective PT plan for me moving forward. 6 weeks later, my shoulder is feeling great and noticeably stronger! Sports Performance PT has made a huge impact on my own wellness over such a short period of time and I would highly recommend them to anyone in town,

Experiencia fantástica: The best sports massage I recommend Maritza CMT. She's the best

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Shane and Alain both 5 stars. Amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: Coach Sam provided a challenging workout that pushed me, leaving me feeling exhausted but accomplished.

Experiencia fantástica: Maritza is an amazing LMT! I came to her with a number of chronic pain issues that continue to improve because of her. I am in a much better place with my pain thanks to Maritza!!

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot say enough about Dr. Morgan. She is AMAZING. She listen to all me and will hit on every kink or ache, ones I don't even know I have, she manages to work them out. I know within days my body it filling better. Thanks Dr. Morgan

Experiencia fantástica: Karo is absolutely amazing. She has healed my sciatica and tennis elbow in just a few sessions. She is very unique in the techniques she uses. I would never go anywhere else.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to SP therapy for a few months now after achilles surgery and have made excellent progress compared to previous PT. Dr. Morgan and the team have been awesome and I recommend them to anyone looking for help.

Experiencia fantástica: I was a summer intern and absolutely loved being a part of the SP team! I maximized my learning by shadowing each physical therapist and collaborating with the PTs to learn what the clients path to diagnosis, recovery and prevention to future injuries meant. The PTs that I worked with pushed me to research and ask questions which allowed me to expand beyond what I was learning in my classes at my university. Team Sports Performance is an exceptionally experienced and personable group to learn from and I am grateful for the opportunity to be one of their interns.

Experiencia fantástica: Karo is an amazing therapist words can not express how good she is. She really knows and understands the strains and needs of of our bodies. She takes the time to listen to your specific areas of concerns and addresses them with various solutions. Karo provides helpful recommendations for continuing your recovery after each session. She has improved my life in as little as 3 session.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Morgan is so wonderful and knowledgable! She met me where I was at and was able to both help me improve my injury and incorporate strength and stretches so it doesn't happen again. Would highly recommend her for any of your PT needs!

Experiencia fantástica: Disfruto mucho el salir de mi terapia con Jasón porque salgo como nueva sin ningún dolor que me ocasiona el ejercicio que hago sin estirar correctamente. Lo máximo, lo recomiendo

Experiencia fantástica: Coach Sam has been taking to the limit. Best workouts aver. My fat burning rato has sky rocket.

Experiencia fantástica: I love this place. If you need body work done Sports Performance is the best place for it. They have massages, physical therapy, and even a hyperbaric chamber. Ask for maritza she is the best.

Experiencia fantástica: Maritza is amazing!!! She’s helped work out a lot of my tightness from lifting and suggested great exercises and massage tools to use at home.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been an intern at Sports Performance since 2022 and for my almost two years here I can confidently say you won't be disappointed. During my time here, I have met many amazing providers who have given me the opportunity to observe their work. I have seen many clients come in from either being skeptical about going through physical therapy, having little faith in the process, or clients coming from terrible pt experiences in the past. By simply talking to the PTs at SP about their past injuries and concerns they have, I have seen them start to believe in their provider and SP. Each PT at SP listen to their client and get the whole story as to what irritates their injury, how did it start, what movements irritate them. They get the whole story to truly understand where the pain is and to develop a plan as to how they will treat their clients. They also work to maintain their clients overall fitness and movement of their body, so not just the parts of their body they originally came in for, but the body as a whole. Not only do they help their clients achieve their goals, but they educate the client as to what specific body part theyre working on and the treatment/plan they are doing to improve. Watching Dr. Jason, Dr. Shane, Dr. Morgan and Dr. Brandon work with their clients truly inspires me to become a PT like them one day. Especially Dr.Jason and Dr.Shane. I have observed these two the longest and they are amazing providers. Simply from the way they talk to their clients, you can tell that they are confident that they can help them and that their clients believe in them. These two always answer any questions I have, and even (if the client is comfortable) allow me to see exactly what they are currently working on with their client and share with me their clients background on their injury. From watching Dr. Jason and Dr. Shane work, I become inspired everyday I'm at SP to one day become a PT like them. In addition to the amazing PTs at SP, we have amazing client care specialist such as Alyssa and Alani who help every single client get the care that they need, and answer any questions current and new clients may have about SP. By listening to these two talk to the clients, you can tell that they want to help everyone that comes through SP to receive the care that they may need. Of course we have two amazing massage therapist Karo and Martiza who are absolutely amazing and what they do. AND two performance coaches/strech therapist Coach Sam and Coach Ryan who help their clients reach their fitness goals for either a sport or just to maintain their strength and agility. Sports Performance is a place you can believe in. Not only is every single provider at SP amazing at what they do, but they continue to learn and educate themselves to help everyone who goes through their clinic. I am forever grateful for everyone here for helping me become a better version of myself, and for inspiring me to hopefully become an amazing PT just like them one day.

Experiencia fantástica: Coach Sam is outstanding Coach. He really takes the time to listen to your needs and pushes you to succeed in his workouts. Sam has been working with my daughter for almost 5 months and she absolutely looks forward to coming in and getting her workout done with Sam. Love it here and highly recommend it to anyone whose looking to become healthier and fit.

Experiencia fantástica: Sports Performance Physical Therapy excels in personalized treatment plans tailored to individual needs, supported by a knowledgeable and compassionate team of therapists. Their commitment to patient care and the positive outcomes I have witnessed as an intern make them my top recommendation in the field. My internship at Sports Performance Physical Therapy allowed me to deepen my understanding of patient care and rehabilitation practices through their amazing staff and team. I am forever grateful for the invaluable experience and mentorship I received during my time here. A big shout out to Dr. Shane, Dr. Brandon, and Dr. Jason for teaching me the importance of individualized treatment plans and therapeutic exercises in promoting recovery and improving quality of life for patients. A big thank you to the SP fam for always supporting me unconditionally and for truly always being the best! Thank you Alyssa and Alani for everything, thank you Dr. Shane and Dr. Brandon for your mentorship, and thank you SP fam for this opportunity!

Experiencia fantástica: Over the past year as an intern here, I have learned a lot from the providers and strength coaches that work here. It is a great environment to learn in and especially to heal in. All the Doctors are very knowledgeable and love to learn off each other and to teach others about injury prevention and recovery. Whether you come in with a small bruise or a torn ACL you’re getting the best of the best when you come in to SP!

Experiencia fantástica: I came to sports performance by recommendation. And glad I did . I had been having trouble with bad back pain . Improved my pain after first session. Maritza is super awesome and such a professional demeanor. Thank you sports performance Chula Vista .

Experiencia fantástica: As a national team soccer player I’ve endured a lot of physical stress on my body and Sports Performance massage therapy specifically my massage therapist Caro has helped me so much. Caro does an awesome job at identifying problems and fixing them specific to me and my sport. Every time I go to a session I come home feeling soooo much better, I definitely recommend SP.

Experiencia fantástica: Coach Sam and Dr. Shane are amazing! They have both helped me with my recovery for softball. They have made this recovery so easy with all the organized schedule they have set for me. They're always so welcoming to me and everyone else is the facility. They make your injury theirs! They care for it as if it was their own, which is amazing! They get together to talk about the plan of the month. In my workouts they include specific training for the reasons I get injured. Thank you Sport Performance for this amazing experience!

Experiencia fantástica: Caro is an amazing therapist at the Eastlake location, especially for athletes. She really knows and understands the strains and needs of athletes. She takes the time to understand your specific areas of concerns and addresses them with various solutions and provides helpful recommendations for continuing your recovery after your session. She's the only therapist I trust to provide the recovery I need. She a true gem in our neighborhood!

Experiencia fantástica: I was coming in from an injury I had during college outside of season. I was recommended by my family and they didn’t disappoint. Throughout the last few months sports performance has really helped me with my physical recovery.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing sessions with Dr Jason, Shane and Maritza. This squad seriously helps me feel better and most importantly helps me become more knowledgeable about my body. Thanks team for all that you do for all humans ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Been battling neck, arm, and hand pain/numbness all year (signs have been showing for years, but we didn't really think much of it until it was bad). After an MRI, was referred to a Neurologist for surgery. The surgeon required PT before a consultation. After 3 months of PT, there was still very little improvement. To this day we are still waiting on an appt with the surgeon and it has been 9 months since we started this process of seeking help. Thankfully though, after talking with some pretty awesome people, we decided to take the issue into our own hands and went with a privately paid PT office. The work that @sportsperformancept does is miracle work to say the least! Literally, night and day. The first day came home from PT, dancing with relief!!! could barely sit in a chair or on the couch for longer than 5 mins! Went from muscle relaxers and pain medicine daily to nothing at all! Still have some pain, however it is doable and improving with time and continuous work. Nothing compares to where I was a month ago. I can move and live daily life without being miserable. As the wonderful therapist have told us, this is something I will have to work at for the rest of my life, and it is something I'm willing to do, because we definitely want to avoid surgery at all costs. We are forever greatful to @sportsperformancept for their help. Check out the wonderful work Sports Performance is doing with their patients and their future therapist.

Experiencia fantástica: I loved my experience here and everyone was very nice and welcoming with warm smiles and positive attitudes. Dr. Morgan was wonderful, very professional and willing to hear everything I had to say about my injury while always willing to find solutions for them.

Experiencia fantástica: Coach Sam is incredible. Sports Performance overall is highly recommended. They have done wonders with my son Elijah. Sport athletes look no further than Sports Performance PT!! We have been here for 3 months now and we are not leaving thank you Coach Sam for helping Elijah become the best version of himself.

Experiencia fantástica: My personal trainer Sam at Sports Performance In Eastlake is an outstanding trainer. Over the last two months I have been working with him and he has been able to help me with my strength and balance. I have multiple injuries from my time in the military and in law enforcement. I highly recommend Sports Performance Physical Therapy in Eastlake. You won’t regret it

Experiencia fantástica: Coach Sam was a big help to my recovery when I had injured myself 3 months ago. He helped me recover IT band and made my knees stronger. Over the course of my time being here, I have noticed significant increase in my ability to jump, squat, and push without pain in my legs. I am very grateful to have come across Sports Performance.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been so blessed to be apart of the sports performance family. Sam is an amazing trainer. He is very accommodating of all fitness and skill levels. He is encouraging and pushes you in a positive manner. He is very collaborative in goal setting. I find him to be one of the best trainers that I have ever worked with.

Experiencia fantástica: If you ever deal with chronic pain that’s preventing you from living an active lifestyle, Sports Physical Therapy is the place to go! I have worked with Dr. Morgan and Dr. Shane for two different injuries. They took the time to first identify the area that is in pain. They give you a step-to-step recovery plan to ensure that you are pain free while providing you tools to use to continue the maintenance of ensuring that the pain does not return. Now I’m getting back to doing what I love with confidence.

Experiencia fantástica: All it took was one back strain and I have not stopped coming to Sports Performance ever since! I was in need of a deep tissue massage after pulling a muscle in my upper back and sports performance was the first facility on my contact list. I called and left a voicemail explaining my situation with the pain in my back, but within a few minutes they called me back and got me all situated with massage appointment that same week! As soon as I walked in the facility, I was greeted by a staff member at the front desk who gave a warm welcoming. Every member is super friendly and very helpful! Maritza is one of the massage therapists, who has been helping me ever since my first visit. She is amazing! She has helped me stay tuned up and healthy! Every detail i've mentioned about a certain pain I feel, she works hard to resolve the issue. Her attention to detail is second to none! By all means if you are in need of some body work done, make sure to stop by Sports Performance!

Experiencia fantástica: This place deserves 10 ⭐️ I came to Sports Performance due to a shoulder pain. Ive been so hesitant to get it checked bec I know that the doctor will just tell me to stop working out and if I do, i will be very miserable. I met Dr Jason here who is an awesome PT and is very knowledgable and who really care for his patients. My shoulder pain was gone already after 4 PT sessions with him. And the best part? I didnt have to stop working out! Im still at the gym 4-5x a week I always feel like a brand new person whenever I come here lol. All the staff are very nice, very welcoming, and always have a smile on their face. Whenever I hear someone from my gym having pain I would always recommend them to go at Sports Performance. Best place for Physical Therapy!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been coming to Sports therapy for a long time now and seeing JASON. It’s been awesome! Not only do I come away, feeling better, but with tips and tricks on how to stay in shape and well! Thanks for everything!

Experiencia fantástica: I had the pleasure of getting a massage from Maritza this evening. She was incredible. She worked on my trouble areas and was able to find tightness in areas I’ve never focused on. This is not your typical relax and rejuvenate massage, this is a “it hurts so good” massage. Thank you Maritza and Team SP, I can’t wait for my next massage.

Experiencia fantástica: For years I ignored the chronic pain in my lower back, hips and knees. After experiencing numbness in my legs during a run and being told by my dr to stop running, I finally bit the bullet and sent an inquiry to Sports Performance. Within the hour, I received a phone call and was set up for a PT session with Dr. Shane. I went to my first appointment with zero expectations and left confident that I was in the right place. Dr. Shane is awesome! He really conducts a thorough consultation by getting to know my lifestyle and exercise routines. He identifies the root of the problem instead of just giving me a fast/temporary fix. He gives me exercises to work on at home that fit into my daily life and tips on how to protect my back when doing heavy lifting. He also had open communication with my doctors, so I appreciated that everyone was able to work together on my treatment plan. I’ve been seeing him for about 5 months now and I appreciate that every session so far has been tailored to how my body is moving that day and it’s not just about following a cookie cutter generic plan. My pain has significantly improved to the point where I’m able to run and workout without being in pain or experiencing numbness in my legs. There’s still work I need to do, but I am grateful to Dr. Shane and SP for getting me back to doing the things I love. I also want to mention that everyone at SP has been kind, welcoming and helpful. The PT area is clean and sanitized after each client, which is appreciated. I highly recommend coming to SP if you are experiencing pain or have things you want to improve on. They truly care about getting your body and mind in a good, pain free place.

Experiencia fantástica: Maritza and all the staff are so amazing . Always will to help and fit me in when most needed . Highly recommend them all. Maritza has even became a great friend through this process each visit we laugh talk and I feel so much better from all the pain I experience.

Experiencia fantástica: I have had an excellent experience with this place thus far. Karo is an excellent and knowledgable massage therapist that has helped me significantly get back to work and exercising after having had a back injury. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone dealing with any types of injury.

Experiencia fantástica: Sports Performance’s staff are friendly and professional. I have been a deep tissue massage client of SP’s for years. My massage therapist, Karoline Sheffield, is informative, supportive, and works hard to resolve every muscle ailment/challenge I bring to her attention. I’ll to continue to be a SP client as long as they continue to staff top notch massage therapists like Karoline.

Experiencia fantástica: Karo is the best Sports Massage Therapist I have experienced..I walked in tremendous pain after a session I feel great!

Experiencia fantástica: I’m so grateful with their service. They welcome you with a lot of kindness, they DO CARE about you and your health and recovery! Dr Taresh and Chris Garcia are very kind, they treat you with great respect, professionalism and expertise!! MUCHAS GRACIAS

Experiencia fantástica: Very personable and professional!

Experiencia fantástica: Tiana is the best when it comes to massage! She really knows how to work out the muscles and really helps my body to feel more normal

Experiencia fantástica: Anise is the best massage therapist ever!!

Experiencia fantástica: Super friendly staff & Karoline is great at what she does!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Chris Garcia and Dr. Shane Adamos are both masters of thier craft. My son had a lingering hip pain that several PT’s and Chiropractors couldn’t figure out. After our first visit, Dr. Shane conducted a very thorough assessment, identified the issue, and created a robust treatment plan to get my son back on the football field. If you’re a serious athlete looking to maximize your physical performance or anyone looking to recover from an injury, Sport Performance Physical Therapy is the only place you need to visit.

Experiencia fantástica: I was having some issues with my knee and a coworker recommended I see Dr. Chris Garcia. I called him and had no difficulty scheduling an appointment within a few days at a convenient time and location. Chris was kind, professional and incredibly knowledgable. He helped me to understand what was going on with my knee, did some massage/cupping on my knee and gave me exercises to help strengthen my weaknesses. A couple of days later my knee felt noticeable improved and I was able to workout without any pain or discomfort! I highly recommend seeing Dr. Garcia. He was awesome :)

Experiencia fantástica: Sports Performance Physical Therapy is at the tip of the spear when it comes to physical therapy. I contacted Dr. Chris Garcia about some shoulder problems I was having and he was able to schedule an appt for me very quickly. During my session, Dr. Garcia first just listened to all of my complaints and concerns about my shoulder. It was comforting to feel like he wasn't trying to develop a diagnosis without hearing everything that was going on. He then proceeded to put his skills to work and treated my shoulder with a combination of joint manipulation, massage, and torture techniques (aka, cupping and scrapping). When the session was completed he gave me an estimated time for healing and emailed some strengthening exercises to be done at home with easy to follow illustrations. Dr. Chris Garcia separates himself from other PT's with his genuine care and concern for his patients. His knowledge and experience is second to none and he explained everything he was doing so that the I could understand his procedure and the healing process. I strongly recommend him, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Chris for helping me and I know you will continue to lead the way in South Bay.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Chris Garcia is a knowledgeable, talented and kind physical therapist. Those traits gave me confidence that I was in good hands. His initial assessment diagnosed the cause of my knee pain, and since then he has incrementally given me exercises and cues to adjust my running form and improve strength, balance, and pain management. He not only thoughtfully explains what he is doing and why he is doing it, but he also checks to make sure his directions are understood. He also encourages questions and takes his time to answer them. Dr. Chris follows-up each visit with videos/photos that review the session, which makes it easier to continue the exercises at home. In just a few sessions, I have noticeably less knee pain, and I'm able to complete my running workout sessions. I had tried other physical therapists, but they were very cookie cutter, and I felt they didn't listen to my goals. As a master's athlete, I wasn't so much concerned about getting out of a chair; I wanted to get back to competition on the track! Dr. Chris got that, and he is helping me to achieve my goal-pain free! Thank you, Dr. Chris!

Experiencia fantástica: I'm a 46 year old dentist who has trained vigorously over the years. I have played multiple sports and have seen many doctors and therapists. I met Chris Garcia when I was having mobility issues with my shoulder and needed to prep for a competition. I have to say that I was very pleased with care I received. Chris is highly educated and trained. He was very thorough and took the time to understand my ailments (believe me there are a lot). He was meticulous and systematic while treating me. There is no doubt that when he is working an area that he knows exactly what he is doing. There is an art as well as a science to his work and he has mastered them both. I appreciated his e-mail follow ups and custom tailored exercises he sent me in between sessions. I will continue to be a client and strongly recommend him to anybody needing help.

Experiencia fantástica: Came here looking for some "magic" after tearing yet another rotator cuff. Dr. Teresa (and the whole staff) was AMAZING from day 1. As opposed to with my right side injury, thanks to the amazing treatment and rehab plan I've been working since starting here, I am skipping surgery and I haven't felt this good in over two years! And this is after just 4 months! Whether you're injured, or just looking to take your pre-hab and recovery game to another level, SP Physical Therapy is where it's at. You get what you pay for. I've done PT through my insurance and... well, this is an "over the rainbow" type of difference. I couldn't be happier or more grateful.

Experiencia fantástica: Karo is the absolute best! She has helped me get through an old injury, a police academy and she just helps to keep my body moving strongly. I always leave feeling like I have a brand new body with zero pain, who doesn’t want that in a massage?! Karo is professional, personable and very skilled as a massage therapist. Do yourself and your body a favor and book your appointment with her NOW!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Sports Performance PT and working with Katie! I am so glad I found her becuase is the best PT and a wonderful, kind person. She is super smart and up to date on research and she is incredibly dedicate to her clients! Would 100% recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: I am not AS young anymore but if you live an active lifestyle treating yourself like an athlete is a must! The people at Sports Performance make you feel like one. If you train hard you need to have a recovery and maintenance routine, come to SP and take care of that aspect of your active lifestyle! Chris, Katie, Stephanie, Shane, and Anise will be more than happy to assist you to keep your body ready for anything life throws at it!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Sports Performance for may years for issues including knee, back, and arm pain/discomfort. Every time I attempt an appointment the staff was able to identify the issue, quickly explain the reason for the issue and address the issue with immediate results. Their extensive knowledge and experience is one of the reason why I keep returning, the main reason is the great customer service they provide. Every time I am in their facility it’s like I’m at home with friends and family! They take the time to not only you your injuries but they also take the time to know you on a personal level. Because of theses attributes they display on a daily based I will continue to frequent their facility as well as recommend them to anyone I encounter with an injury or discomfort issue. Thank you Sports Performance team for your dedication to all your patients.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been getting my massage and cupping here for the past few years. I come in every two months for much needed work on my body. I absolutely feel renewed after every session. I highly recommend this place.

Experiencia fantástica: My daughter dances (ballet) at a high level and suffered a hip injury last year. We began treating at Sports PT Chula Vista soon after and have been so impressed with their professionalism and the level of care that we've received. She has continued to treat on a maintenance basis with Coach T as well as gets therapeutic massages from a few of the therapists on a monthly basis. I jumped on the bandwagon and have been getting massages to help with a shoulder and neck issue as well. Have seen fabulous results all around. We love the entire staff who make you feel like family every time you walk in.

Experiencia fantástica: My son started three weeks ago and has been working with Dr. Shane and has loved it. He looks forward to it and is given exercises that are fun and keep him engaged.

Experiencia fantástica: Karo is a great massage therapist. Highly recommend to anyone needing body work done or just a touch up due to stiffness.

Experiencia fantástica: Nothing but quality here y’all. Coach Nelly and company are fantastic. They adapt to your sports goals and life goals. I was first brought in because they do sports therapy but was sold when I talked to them about their training and about my goals of returning to aggressive inline. With proper planning, patience, perseverance, and dealing with my hectic schedule, (I am a family man and work in the food and hospitality industry which causes changes in my schedule frequently), realistic expectations plus better sports prowess were met. Walking through their offices you get to see all pictures of the different sports and athletes they helped mold. I will be returning for the next season to gain more perspective.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing team of professionals made me feel more like family rather than just another patient. They took the time to get to know me and my medical background, to pinpoint what I needed to heal properly.

Experiencia fantástica: Best therapy in town! The facility is great, and the staff is very nice and accommodating! Shout out to Dr. Teresa, thank you again!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been working with Anise now for several months and wow!! Has it made a huge difference.... I live a very active lifestyle and with that comes aches and pains, having body work done weekly has made a huge difference in my quality of life physically. Anise is very talented and know exactly what to do. She has strong hands and is super knowledgeable... Thank you Sports Performance! You have a wonderful team of dedicated individuals. Thank you Anise! I really appreciate all your hard work and healing hands. Zac

Experiencia fantástica: I'm so happy and blessed that my friend referred my fiance and me to Karo and the staff. It's seriously exciting to come here for one hour every week. They are the friendliest, most compassionate and passionate people. Karo, specifically, is SOOO easy to talk to, listens very carefully and takes care the root cause of the issue. THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE TO ALLEVIATE STRESS, PAIN, AND COME OUT BETTER! I LOVE IT HERE SO MUCH!!! ::happy dance::

Experiencia fantástica: I went to see Dr. Teresa for my ACL rehab. It was the best physical therapy decision I could have made for my body! The treatment I received here throughout the duration of my recovery was absolutely amazing! Dr. Teresa did an incredible job of getting me back to my old self in no time at all!

Experiencia fantástica: Just wanted to take some time and write this review because it is definitely overdue!I’ve been coming to Sports Performance Physical Therapy (SPPT) with Dr. Teresa Berg for the past 4 months. When I tore my ACL for the second time I was dreading the entire process because my first ACL surgery and physical therapy experience with my health care provider was a disaster to say the least. After my recent ACL surgery I began going through the physical therapy process with my health care provider and I was feeling like I wasn’t getting the attention and care I knew I needed. I felt like I was going down the same path as my last ACL rehab. After doing some research I came across SPPT and after reading their reviews I knew this is where I needed to be! I knew the journey was not going to be an easy task because of my 5 knee surgeries but from day one Dr. Teresa had a game plan to help me get my knee right! Dr. Teresa has been a massive part as to why my ACL rehabilitation has been going so great! Her experience and knowledge with ACL’s gave me peace of mind and complete confidence that I was in great hands. Looking back I know I definitely made the right choice in coming to Sports Performance Physical Therapy because Dr. Teresa and all of the staff have been great!

Experiencia fantástica: Back in December 2021, I had some old back injuries and muscle spasms rear their ugly heads while deadlifting and squatting on two separate occasions, in addition to the chronic back pain I'd been living with for years. I took over 2 weeks off from powerlifting, and my coaches at the time urged me to find a physical therapist who was either familiar with weight lifting or lifted themselves. All of my research pointed me to Sports Performance PT, and after an initial phone call with their awesome marketing and operations associate, Diego, I was "assigned" and met Dr. Jason Umali early January 2022 when my pain was holding steady, but I couldn't get back under the barbell. I firmly believe the universe provided the right person at the right time, because the 6 weeks I've been working with him at the San Diego location has not only been a game changer in terms of my lifting, but also a life changer. Chronic back pain who?? Meeting new medical providers has always been anxiety inducing as a curvy, plus size gal; usually the answer to my question about back pain or injuries was "you just need to lose weight" or "here's an Rx for Flexeril." The root was never addressed. As soon as I met Dr. Jason, all fears from past experiences were gone. I was looked at as an athlete, treated as an athlete, but also a human being who deserved kindness and respect. He listened to me and my history (division 1 sports as a kid! 25 years of equestrian sports!) and immediately got to work. He walked through every single thing he was going to do and work on, urged me to be vocal about any discomfort or pain, and to ask any and all questions that came to mind. He has the uncanny ability to pinpoint what's going on in my muscles and what to do bodywork-wise as well as stretches and exercises to help with my mobility (the root of my pain!). And not only that, but his careful and thoughtful coaching and programming has me absolutely CRUSHING PRs left and right, tweaking my technique with his help in the clinic, and feeling confident in getting under the barbell again, pain-free. Miracle. Worker. I look forward to our sessions all week, and love how much I've grown in terms of self esteem and self confidence, in and out of the gym. It always feels like Dr. Jason is my number 1 fan and is always in my corner, rooting for me to kick some @$$ and take names, and he is! I've found not only an incredible medical provider but a friend in him, too. I'm so excited to continue working with him and hopefully he'll continue to coach me as a powerlifter ;) (or am I going to become an Oly lifter?! Who knows but anything is possible). Truly, you will not find a better place to land after injury or any other number of issues that physical therapy can help with. I promise, you will not regret becoming a part of the Sports Performance family; it's the best thing you can do for your health and your body to keep you moving.

Experiencia fantástica: As a professional golfer, I am looking for not only maintain and prevent injuries, but to increase endurance, mobility, and strength. I have been training with Coach Alex at SP for almost a year now, and I have managed to improve in every aspect. The massage therapy team, Alicia and Anise, also have helped greatly in my process. I would recommend Sports Performance to anyone looking to attend an Injury, prevent them, and improve their overall physical health.

Experiencia fantástica: Sports Performance Physical Therapy is the place to go if you are coming back from an injury or working through one to get back on your feet. I have been working with Dr. Teresa Berg, Pt, DPT and she has been phenomenal. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and makes PT enjoyable. She pinpointed my muscle areas that were injured and has made sure I leave stronger and healthier every session. Her background in soccer is an additional perk for working with her as she truly understands the recovery process. Join Sports Performance Physical Therapy if you want to see results!

Experiencia fantástica: First time visit with Anise and she was amazing! I had a 55 min massage that included a deep tissue massage and cupping. I am grateful I have found a place where I feel I can recover and get educated on how to properly maintain my body! She found all my tension and pressure points, and knots I didn’t even know I had. Even got pointers on how to work on my pain areas at home. Loved that they don’t try to upsell you. A wholesome massage! Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: I live in the SF Bay Area, but I visit San Diego several times a year. For the past two years, I’ve come to Sports Performance for all of my massage therapy and physical therapy needs. I cannot recommend SP enough. I’ve worked with Dr. Katie and Dr. Jason for PT and Anise and Alicia for MT. Ive been a pretty active person for the past 40 years with karate, track, softball, gym workouts, and golf. I’ve had my share of injuries and have seen quite a few massage therapists, physical therapists, and chiropractors. More than any other place I have been, I would say that the team at Sports Performance has more knowledge, listens closely to my needs, explains the issues and treatments, has short and/or long-term plans for recovery, and always make me feel welcome. Every time I come across someone who has an injury, or simply wants a good massage, injury-prevention techniques, or a workout plan, I recommend SP. I’ve even recommended that a friend’s daughter look into sports performance for a job opportunity. I’m hoping to move to SD, and if I do, I’ll be a regular at Sports Performance. Try them out once, and you’ll be a regular too.

Experiencia fantástica: I gained a shoulder injury through working out and came to get work done by Dr. Jason. In the matter of two months he has a 95% recovered and I am very pleased to recommend him to anyone having personal injuries. He is amazing and now truly cares about his patients.

Experiencia fantástica: Sports Performance Physical Therapy is a family and they have made me a lifelong member. I am grateful for their whole team, but especially Dr. Jason who has within the past 6 months, brought me to the cusp of my goals. Even though I recently moved out of town, Dr. Jason has continued his support and guidance until we reach what we set out to do. The only thing I regret is not buying a T-Shirt! Thank you all so much, I look forward to coming back any chance I get!

Experiencia fantástica: I had a neck injury in March from improper form during one of my training excersises. My friend who is studying to be a physical therapist recommended I visit Sports Performance. I worked with Dr. Katie and she did not dissapoint. She did a lot of tests to identify the problem in my neck and provided me excersies to do at home so that I can improve my form and posture. About 3 weeks ago, I woke up with pain in my shoulder (it hurt to lift my arm so I assumed it was my bicep). I came to SP, but this time, I worked with Dr. T. Wthin the first 10 minutes, he was able to find the problem area and mentioned it was not a bicep but my rotator cuff injury. All I can say is that both Dr. Katie and Dr. T. are very knowledgeable, experienced and will help you get back on your feet after an injury. - PS: Getting back on the weights and on the climbing wall slowly but surely

Experiencia fantástica: After a difficult rotator cuff surgery, I had a very complex decision to make. Where should I go for my physical therapy. So I embarked in the search. Found this place in Chula Vista, like 30 minutes drive, but the reviews and the way that they handled my information over the phone got me into the place to get an assessment. Since day one, with Dr. T (Dr. Jason) and the entire staff, they made me feel in safe hands. And since then, it has been a very smooth experience and I have felt that my shoulder is getting better and to the point of totally healed. Just a recommendation. To achieve total healing, you need to be in great hands, but also do your homework and follow their advice. So don't hesitate. There may be many places, but the one that stands out is Sports Performance PT. Your body will not regret it.

Experiencia fantástica: I started at Sports Performance as an intern which gave me a front row seat to the amazing services provided by both physical and massage therapists. I had never seen a physical therapy office as energetic and welcoming as Sports Performance. I had previously been seen by physical therapists through my insurance for previous injuries and didn't feel that I got the care and attention I needed. Last August I hurt my knee and needed surgery, I knew immediately from my experience as an intern that I was going to be working on my post-op rehab at Sports Performance. I was extremely nervous for the recovery process and Dr. Katie took the time to listen to my concerns and we came up with a game plan together which put all my worries at ease. I am now 9 months post op and feeling amazing! I am beyond grateful to Dr. Katie and the SP team.

Experiencia fantástica: What a great and friendly atmosphere!

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional physical therapy

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent attention Properly service

Experiencia fantástica: Helped build up my hip and hamstring strength following a knee and hamstring injury. The team at sports performance is super professional, friendly, and overall great.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place with PT, massage and more. Dr. Katie is fantastic and so is Alexia at the front desk plus my neck pain is finally gone.

Experiencia fantástica: I came here because I had severe pain whenever I attempted a pull up. After one session, I was able to do scap pull-ups again. After 4 sessions, I was pain free with strict pull-ups. I’ll be going here for tune ups as long as I live in the area. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Dr Katie at SPPT has been a watershed event in systemically addressing a whole host of muscular trauma that I've been carrying around for over a year. (something something lot of exercise but poor stretching and a lack of self-care during a global pandemic) I had a chronic pain in my left knee stemming from incredibly tight hamstrings, gluts, resulting in an over-taxed MCL (medial collateral ligament); this was a pain that I could not escape, regardless of position or activity. I'd begun to despair of never correcting the issue, chalking it up to "this is your life now, you old dummy"... Our sessions focused not just on the immediate problem in the MCL, but also along the systemic causes contributing, in the upper and lower connecting tissues. The at-home stretches taught to me by Dr Katie, coupled with the in-clinic therapies, put me in a position to not only relieve the immediate discomfort, but make a lasting change to my overall capabilities. (hello to riding centuries, and 6 hour track days, without unnecessary pain) TL;DR- If you have the need to correct on-going issues in your body mechanics, go see them!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff at Sports Performance PT are the best in the best. The staff are knowledgeable and experts in their craft. Their goals are to get you back to the physical shape that you were before and beyond. I highly recommend that you got them to for your sports physical therapy needs because you won't be disappointed.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Katie helped me with a chronic injury and got me back to running. She really listened to me and adjusted treatment accordingly. All of the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I was always greeted by name and made to feel welcome. I highly recommend Sports Performance Therapy and Dr. Katie.

Experiencia fantástica: The simple fact is, if you are a serious athlete and are looking to either recover from an injury or improve your overall performance, Dr Jason is the man for you. He is incredibly knowledgeable on a variety of topics ranging from the skeletal-muscular system to power/olympic lifting to mobility exercises. With his outstanding listening skills he is able to truly listen to what your goals are and then work with you to develop a plan to achieve those goals. He is an expert at modifying exercises and movements based on the needs of the client and their injury history. My wife had experienced back pain for over a year while attempting to train. Dr Jason was able to not only fix her back pain but also improve her techniques to allow her to lift heavier than she ever has, with perfect form. Seek out Dr Jason if you have any issues that are impeding you from operating at 100%.

Experiencia fantástica: This is a phenomenal spot for physical therapy. The employees are very friendly and professional. I had a shoulder dislocation that made my shoulder very unstable. I lost a lot of my confidence when rolling in jiu jitsu. They guided me through fundamental exercises for recovery and explained the recovery process very well.

Experiencia fantástica: I visited Dr. Jason at SP for several weeks, with an injury from playing tennis which I continued to further aggravate thinking I would improve. When I walked in the door I couldn't even walk, I was in so much pain and I was having to ice constantly. Jason was able to quickly diagnose it, and I began noticing an immediate improvement within the first week of working with Jason, and he had me back to 100% within several weeks. I drove 45 minutes for my appointments at SP and will continue visiting ongoing for maintenance and injury prevention.

Experiencia fantástica: I was just a few weeks out from a weightlifting competition when I started to have a pinching sensation in my hip. It was so painful I could not squat or over extend my hip. My coach recommended me to Sports Performance. They were able to get me in for an appointment that same day. Upon arriving at SP, I was warmly greeted at the front desk by Alexis and Cristianah. I love that they have exercise equipment on-site, too! I was introduced to Dr. Jason and explained my situation. Being a weightlifter himself, he understood the importance of the competition to me and made a plan to get my healthy enough to compete. After only 2 weeks, my hip was happy! I was able to compete without any hip pain at all! Dr. Jason also gave me a plan to keep my hip healthy to avoid future issues. This place and Dr. Jason are fantastic!

Experiencia fantástica: I was referred to Dr. Chris for my knee. I was told he was a miracle worker. 9 months ago I injured my knee squatting heavy and have been modifying my workouts ever since. Lately, I have been working out daily and my knee is constantly irritated to the point I was sure something was torn. I am writing this the morning after my appointment and there is NO SIGN of injury. My mind is blown. He did total body work because my whole body hurts all of the time from CROSSFIT. I feel amazing. The office and staff is super professional and engaging. I left with a good understanding of how to move forward and what was going on with my body. I am beyond impressed. Do not wait to make an appointment if you are in pain, there is no reason to be.

Experiencia fantástica: In 2012 I suffered a shoulder injury in the gym that for ever changed the way I performed in the gym. My fitness was limited and For over 8 years i suffered with shoulder and back pain while I still visiting doctors that would prescribe meds that would only cover up the pain with bandaids. The root of the pain was never addressed. I was seen by specialists and physical therapists alike that never improved my overall physical well-being. By now I learned to work around the pain while putting other parts of my body in jeopardy. In August of 2021 I suffered yet another shoulder injury while mountain biking. A few weeks after my accident I decided to call Sports Performance,I had always heard good things about them but was skeptical due to my past experience with physicians. This is was one of the best things that I’ve done for my physical well-being. This is where Dr. Jason comes into my success story. After 5 weeks of therapy I was able to finally push weight overhead. Something that I had not been able to do in months. Dr. Jason is one of the coolest people I’ve had the pleasure to meet this past year. He clearly cares about his client’s physical well-being and spends his time addressing any issues that need care. Because of Jason I’m able to live a pain free active lifestyle. I have now finally taken back control of of my life without limitations. Everyone in that office is amazing, the friendliest crew I know. One on the highlights of your appointment will be Alexis, she goes out of her way to make you feel welcomed, if you get there early enough she’ll have donuts for you, and who doesn’t love donuts. I highly recommend this physical Therapy office, I would give them an extra 3 stars if I was allowed to!!

Experiencia fantástica: Alicia is amazing!! I have received 2 massages due to some aches and pains I have been experiencing for quite some time. I can not believe that in just 2 sessions I am about 90% better! I train with kettlebells and I wasn’t able to do some of the functional movements I would otherwise find fairly simple. I am so relieved that I found Sports Performance Therapy. Alicia has been a huge part of my wellness, self-care, and recovery ❤️ She is AMAZING!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. J is amazing!! I planned on only coming in one time to see if I could get relief from my lower back pain. I felt so much better after my treatment that I just keep coming back! Dr. J has also found other mobility issues that I was having, which I’m super grateful for! Honestly the entire team at Sports Performance are all really awesome! Very cheerful and helpful!

Experiencia fantástica: After experiencing excruciating lower back pain and sciatica for two months, I decided I needed to reach out beyond my health care coverage to take action. My MRI showed some serious disc and nerve issues. I walked into Sports Performance bent over and hobbling in Jan 2021 and, after a session with Dr. Steph, left walking straight up for the rest of the day. Over the past 3 months, I started seeing the PT doctor twice a week and as of today, will return on an as needed basis. Dr. Steph (and Dr. Jason) provided great physical therapy to all body areas involved as well as exercises to do at home to strengthen the weak parts. I always feel great after seeing Dr. Steph and she has helped loosen extremely tight areas that prevented me from walking. In conjunction with the PT, I scheduled massage therapy with Alicia. She is an experienced sports therapy masseuse who has worked with Olympians. She continued working the areas in pain as well as other stiff areas. This is true therapy massage, not simply a relaxing spa experience. It worked well in conjunction with PT. I will continue every 2-3 weeks. Finally, I have been working one on one with a great trainer, Nelly, who understands physical therapy and helps me do all the exercises needed to be able to maintain my back without overusing other muscles to compensate. From her, I learned how to lift things using proper deadlift form - very important since I had been doing it incorrectly all my life. I will continue with the training because it is motivating me much more than home exercise. She has helped me progress with a little cardio. All the people work together on my physical problems plus they are all very friendly and love their work, including the receptionist. I don’t know if I will be able to run half marathons again but I am happy to walk most of the time without that burning sciatica and hope to improve over the next three months. I would not hesitate to recommend this clinic to anyone with physical pain - it goes above and beyond typical PT.

Experiencia fantástica: a couple months ago I experienced an injury that resulted in severe pain with my sciatic nerve. my lower back, Hip and right leg was in a lot of constant pain. It took me out of almost all activities I would walk 10 steps then quickly throw myself on the floor from the pain. Dr Katie was assigned to my case and allow me to say she is the most attentive Dr I've ever worked with. we're in my 4th week of the treatment now and I am happy to say that I am resuming almost 90% of my previous activities and I'm well on my way to full recovery. I really expected this to take longer. the entire practice is very big on care and communication I was extremely impressed when I met the owner Dr Chris, as soon as I introduced myself to him with my first name he recognized my file and diagnostics immediately and told me that he was well informed on the progress that we're making and advised me to keep moving and not to build fear of movement from this Injury. Expect nothing but smiles and good vibes when you walk in. I am grateful for their help and care & will refer anyone with physical pain to them without a second thought.

Experiencia fantástica: As an athlete competing in combat sports, it is a constant battle to stay healthy but the wonderful people at SPPT guide me through that battle. Previously I was under the impression that being hurt all the time was part of it and you just have to tough it out. I now have the understanding of maintaining and progressing my health while still being active. I have been able to enjoy the training instead of having a constant worry on my mind. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Melanie managed to do what no one else did for me 8 months prior to my seeing her - giving me pain free range of motion back to my shoulder! I had suffered right should pain since Jan of this year. It got in the way of my exercise, and just day to day life. I didn’t feel like myself. I saw a musculoskeletal doctor, a clinic PT, had both X-ray and MRI done. I had a failed cortisone shot. I had no relief and no range and then I found Sports Performance PT and more importantly Dr. Melanie. On my first session she had me doing exercises and moving my shoulder in ways that were effective. I was able to see drastic improvement from session 1-2 alone. Session 2-3 it only got better. I can’t believe how well it’s gone. I feel normal, and now can be 100% active again, thanks to her. If you have pain and want to have control over your body, go see Dr. Melanie. As she said - sometimes getting uncomfortable is the only way back to finding a pain free existence. Thanks Dr. Melanie!
