Apex Physical Therapy & Rehab

Experiencia fantástica: I was referred to Apex PT and I'm glad I was because it was the best PT I've ever had. I really like the way he does PT. I felt really good after just short session. I definitely will recommend Apex PT to everyone I know.

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot recommend Apex Physical Therapy enough! Phil helped me recover from a car accident and knee surgery. I’ve been to other physical therapists over the years, and none compared to Phil’s method. Having a routine in the gym made it easy to know what to expect while building strength. He always listened to my feedback on how the exercises felt and adjusted my treatment accordingly as needed. I always felt safe and respected with Phil. If you need physical therapy, go to Apex!

Experiencia fantástica: The best physical therapist I’ve ever been to. A science-based approach to recovery that was made super simple for me. I went from not being able to lay on one side due to a bad shoulder and not being able to kneel properly from a bad knee both due to sports injuries to being able to run a full mile nonstop and lift weights regularly again! Making appointments was easy and he was always very responsive. I can’t recommend Phil enough and will definitely be sending anyone his way with any nagging injuries.

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot begin to express how I grateful I am for Phil and Apex. He gave me my life back! I went to Apex after suffering a significant lower back injury from jiu jitsu. Phil took the time to consult with me, and come up with a strategic game plan for my recovery. For several months we worked together, and he helped me achieved my goal of getting back to training. He’s also very generous with his time and truly puts his patients at the forefront. He views his patients’ recovery as his personal responsibility. He’s just a good overall dude, and if I ever am in need of PT again, it will be Phil I am calling!

Experiencia fantástica: I broke my ankle last year while skiing in Mammoth and contacted Phil just days after my surgery. I wanted to begin rehab on it ASAP so I can recover and get back to normal as quickly as possible. Phil saw me right away and I pursued a high frequency and rigid schedule w Phil and diligently followed Phil's advice and homework. The results that I was able to see over the following 3 months were amazing. I was able to walk without any crutches, boot, etc in a small window of time and regained my strength again in a much shorter timeframe than expected. I definitely owe a lot to Phil in helping me bounce back!!

Experiencia fantástica: this place is honestly the best. phil is so chill and he helped me fix my shoulder and knee problems super quick. 10/10 definitely recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Phenomenal experience working with Phil, getting my shoulder back to 100%. Highly encourage anyone to check out Apex!

Experiencia fantástica: This place has been vital in my healing journey! I had a bad case of frozen shoulder and it was fixed by Phil. I just saw my Orthopedist and he has released me from treatment...again, all thanks to Phil! He makes you feel comfortable and lets you go at your own speed rather than pushing too hard like I've experienced at other places. His humor is ON POINT so it makes it fun! Highly recommend APEX!

Experiencia fantástica: I was a patient of Phil's for a bit over a year for a chronic knee issue. Working with Phil was a great experience. He's very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. He was always willing to answer questions and help with anything that came up. The facility is comfortable and personal. I highly recommend Phil's services!

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Apex and met with Phil after having surgery to repair a ruptured hamstring. I had been attending PT at another clinic but felt I had reached a plateau using their generalized approach. Phil's approach was completely different as he tailored a program to my specific needs and abilities. He immediately began pushing me past my comfort zone and continues to find ways to challenge me and make sure I am progressing. I am excited to continue working with Phil on my way to a full recovery. I would highly recommend Phil and Apex PT to help you through your healing journey.

Experiencia fantástica: Best physical therapy in Irvine especially for young atheletes.

Experiencia fantástica: Came here for a shoulder issue and was very happy with the outcome. Phil was great at putting together a routine to get my shoulder back in shape. I have an unpredictable work schedule, and it was always easy to schedule appointments that worked for me. The environment is very relaxed and personal. I would highly recommend anyone looking for physical therapy come here.

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Apex to prepare for a knee surgery. I exercised several months there with Phil. He is a dedicated and knowledgeable therapist who knows all his patients’ needs and is always there for an advice or a help with an insurance-related question. Under his guidance, I recovered enough to avoid surgery altogether. Thank you, Phil.

Experiencia fantástica: Phil is an excellent physical therapist with years of education and experience to back his practice up. He spends his time one-on-one with each patient and really cares about seeing every person that walks in the door getting better! Five stars, would highly recommend!!!

Experiencia fantástica: After years of dissatisfaction with conventional physical therapy offices, I finally found the right place. The gym features state of the art equipment and Phil is overseeing each patient's exercises personally. My own recovery after an ankle surgery has been amazing. Three years ago I was in pain and barely able to walk due to plantar fasciitis and tendon damage. Today, I am back to all of my sports activities, hiking, walking on the beach and running around with my dog. Phil still helps me manage chronic knee pain and I know for a fact that I would not be able to have such an active life without his help. I highly recommend Apex Physical Therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: Apex is by far the most knowledgable and skilled physical therapy in Orange County. Phil the owner is a true professional and is amazing at his craft. I had full reconstructive knee surgery and he had me fully recoverd in 8 months. Also, he's a rockin drummer!!

Experiencia fantástica: Great atmosphere with friendly people, knowledgeable physical therapist, and motivating music. Wide range of equipment to challenge every patient and optimize outcome. I rehabbed from surgery ahead of schedule and returned to full athletic activities.

Experiencia fantástica: Philip is very helpful, friendly and patiently, and very professional too! If you need any help, go to Apex in Irvine, you won’t be wrong!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend for physical therapy. Phil is great and helped me with multiple injuries. He takes his time to understand your issues, build a plan to help, and constantly updates the plan as my injuries improved. He gave me a great specialist recommendation which helped me fix an issue I have been having for years. While I hope to not get hurt and go back, if I ever have an injury Phil will be my first stop!

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience with Apex! This was my first time seeing a physical therapist and Phil was very knowledgeable, who explained how the exercises will help me recover quicker. He took his time answering any questions I had. It was also really flexible to make and adjust appointments. At first I did PT with Phil which was a gym like setting where I went in and did a list of mostly the same exercises, depending on the day I would change it up and add on to the list. I think this option is great if you enjoy doing exercises on your own time and pace. Later on I switched to doing Pilates one on one with Katie and I preferred that environment more. She made sure my form was correct and tries to come up with different variations so the exercises weren’t repetitive all the time. This option is great for those who want exercises easier on their joints and someone attentive.

Experiencia fantástica: If you’re looking for a great physical therapist, look no further. After my knee surgery, I began researching local physical therapy facilities which were recommended by my orthopedic surgeon. I eventually decided upon Apex since they had fantastic online reviews. I’m pleased to say that Phil, with his extensive experience, professionalism, and physical therapy methods, exceeded all my expectations. He delivered on results and all I had to do was bring my desire and discipline to not only give my full effort in each session, but to also continue with my exercises at home. Phil gives you the flexibility to go through each learned exercise at the pace that you’re comfortable with, but he also knows when to turn things up a notch when you need that extra push to reach your physical condition goal. I’m pleased to share that I’m now confident enough in the strength of my knee to take on some of the physical activities that I enjoyed prior to my injury. Thanks, Phil. I’ll definitely recommend Apex to anyone in my personal or professional network that may be in need of your service!

Experiencia fantástica: I do not write many reviews but this one needed to be told because it is helping me get back to my passion of Pickleball. Plus, this is a special place. Being new to OC Apex Physical Therapy came highly recommended from my orthopedic doc. It was one of the best recommendations, I have received while having a positive impact on my physical and mental health. It is all about Phil and his wife, who are completely focused and engaged on healing their patients. Phil is passionate about his craft. Educated at UCLA, he will read the MRI and reports in detail. He then tailors the PT plan while explaining the injury and healing process. In 4 weeks I have watched people come in with a variety of injures experiencing different pain levels. I watch the level of care and thought he puts into each patient whether it be a severe or mild injury. Phil is a great listener, always asking questions, and truly wants to know how you are feeling. When I have followed his plan, I improved each session. Plus he has magic hands. He could always find the point of pain or injury with out saying a word. There is no doubt he is a healer but you have to be willing to put in the work. After 4 weeks he has me on an exercise and strength circuit that I enjoy. Always introducing new exercises into the regime to keep progressing while staying fresh. Apex has great equipment and a variety of toys. But for me, I like the old school basics that he has reinforced with me. I always walk away feeling energized from my time at Apex and appreciate the care they have provided me.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to get results!

Experiencia fantástica: Phil is excellent. I am very happy with the care I received at Apex Physical.

Experiencia fantástica: Phil gives you the 1 on 1 attention that you need during your physical therapy sessions without the help of aids. He’s helped me with all my issues I’ve come in with within a short time! :) Phil really knows his stuff!!

Experiencia fantástica: I will absolutely, and enthusiastically, recommend Apex Physical Therapy, and Phil, to anyone who needs it. Phil works closely with you to ensure that you are healing and working in the right direction so that you can get back to healthy as soon as possible. My time at Apex was very positive and I saw much progress in my physical ability while being treated here.

Experiencia fantástica: I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Phil. He's truly the best. Knowledgeable, compassionate, and consistent. TRULY THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I had it a lower back , right ankle and both shoulders With level of pain 7-8 from a car accident December 30 of 2020 an injury Doctor referred me to apex physical therapy I meet Phil he has the best skills to get you back to normal I recovered from my injuries in less than two months two sessions a week

Experiencia fantástica: I can't recommend Phil and Apex Physical Therapy highly enough. My partner first worked with Phil after she suffered a horrific ski accident and Phil got her to full recovery. She suffered a torn meniscus a while later, and again, Phil came to the rescue. When I recently had a knee operation, there was only ever going to be one choice for my physio, and Phil got my recovery further than my surgeon had requested, and ahead of schedule. And yes, my partner and I are a right pair, aren't we? :)

Experiencia fantástica: Phil and Katy treated me as If I was family, I had some back problems from an auto accident, and they ironed it out for me,alot of work but it paid off,they did a fantastic job.

Experiencia fantástica: I was able to regain my strength and get rid of my pain with Dr. Phil’s help. Great atmosphere, and, Dr. Phil’s got an awesome music play list that makes you want to work even harder!

Experiencia fantástica: Phil is awesome! Cool space, helpful treatment, and you are seen by the owner of the company not by some graduate student as is often the case in physio therapy. Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Apex physical therapy does an amazing job. Phil treated my brother for a rupture in his Achilles heel a couple years back and made him a better athlete than he was before the injury. He’s been treating me for a year in my rotator cuff for the last 6 months and my arm feels brand new again. He has tremendous understanding of body mechanics and how muscles interact with one another and his combination exercises really help rehab the body. Definitely would recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Went to see Phil after a car accident (was rear-ended at 40mph, had 7 herniated discs in my cervical spine and a torn rotator cuff, pain was around 7-8 before seeing Phil). I had been seeing another physical therapist for a few weeks, who recommended light stretching and used a TENS unit on my neck. I'm a very active person and didn't really vibe with that style of PT (and wasn't seeing results at all!). When I came to Phil, he started me out with some light exercises to start re-strengthening the muscles in my neck and shoulder. Phil was always very responsive to any changes in my symptoms and always checked in on my pain levels. After ~4 months of sessions, my pain was down significantly and we had incrementally increased the weight in my exercises back to where my lifts were before the car accident! I really can't recommend him enough!! I feel like he gave me my life back!!

Experiencia fantástica: Phil is a very experienced physical therapist who makes you feel like a valued customer. Super friendly and make you feel comfortable throughout your recovery process. He will move at a pace/difficulty that you want to move at and is safe to do so.

Experiencia fantástica: I was referred to Phil and Apex Physical Therapy by my orthopedist for golfer's elbow. I happen to be a health care professional myself, and so I have lots of experience with other health care professionals...and Phil is an exceptional one. Phil knows what he's doing, and he has a flexible and practical approach to treatment that I really appreciated. It was always easy to reach Phil and to schedule sessions around my schedule. The Apex Physical Therapy facility has a great vibe and it was a pleasure to workout there. There were plenty of other physical therapists that were closer to my home and work...but I was happy to go out of my way to go to Apex. I'm happy to say that my elbow improved a lot with treatment, and so I no longer go to Apex. But if I ever need physical therapy again, I'm definitely going back to Apex.

Experiencia fantástica: One of the best places I’ve been for my treatments. Phil is the number one! ☺️

Experiencia fantástica: Phil is really responsive to your input on treatment. The space is open and you work on your exercises at your own pace and level. Very welcoming and supportive environment

Experiencia fantástica: Will keep coming back whenever I need to. Phil is terrific

Experiencia fantástica: I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, 5 stars- no doubt.

Experiencia fantástica: I've gone to several physical therapists for various injuries and I can say, without a doubt, Phil is the best therapist I've had. I was referred to him after an arthroscopic shoulder surgery in which he helped me regain full mobility and stability for my shoulder. He was VERY attentive to me during each visit and was always working his hardest to ensure that I was making progress in my recovery. Awesome therapist who knows what he is doing. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Phil is great to work with and the place is great. I love it there.

Experiencia fantástica: Apex is a great place for Rehab. Phil helped me recover form a car accident. I feel better than before the accident.

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly staff and awesome therapist. It really helps that they are toddler friendly. Has a little play area for my son to use so I don't have to leave my 16 month old with someone while getting therapy. Definitely recommend this place. Gets busy though so make sure you plan ahead.

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend Apex!

Experiencia fantástica: Phil is the greatest

Experiencia fantástica: Phil is a great physical therapist, the atmosphere, equipment and his one on one sessions helped to get me on the fast track to a speedy recovery. I definately recommend those who are looking for healing physically and emotionally to consider this Rehab facility. Thanks Phil and Katie!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Phil for physical therapy after a car accident . My experience: Phil is very kind and helpful. He’s extremely knowledgeable in what he does and pays attention to every detail which is great. He really cares about what he does and treats you like family. My injuries and surgery aftercare was so much easier and better because of him. The facility: It’s a really nice space. It’s large but also small enough so that if you need help with something he’s able to quickly get over and guide you . The location is pretty easy to get to and very clean and organized . Would I go back? Absolutely ! The only reason I ever stopped was because I moved to a different state. But I will definitely be going back for follow up sessions whenever I’m back in town. Phil and his wife Katie make the process of healing and maintaining so stress free and easy and are such a great couple to be around . Thank you for everything!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I saw Dr. Phil to help me rehab my frozen shoulder which was at the last stage. I had daily pain for over 2 and a half years. Dr. Phil was great helping me gain full range of motion. We started strengthening exercises. After two months intensive rehab-exercises I feel much better and stronger. Dr. Phil really listens to you and very sensitive to what's going on. Thank you very much Dr. Phil. I highly recommend him!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Phil as a therapist. Broke my tibia/fibula at the beginning of April and started swinging a golf club again this week thanks to Phil. He always gives his full attention and has a wide variety of machines and exercises to get you through your rehab.
