South Pacific Physical Therapy (Lancaster, CA)

Experiencia fantástica: I had fractures in my wrist and my hip from a very bad fall, and I think I had whiplash too, causing me to have lots of pain in the back of my head and lots of pain in my neck when turning my head to the left or the right. My balance was somewhat off kilter too. I was a mess. With the exercises given and the massages and everything that was done when I had my appointments, I am doing so much better. Valen, Sigma, , Ana, and Rachel all knew what to do to help me. Everyone who works there is just as nice as could be. I’m so glad that’s where I went. It’s helped me tremendously. It’s a very pleasant place to go to, and they all have a wonderful sense of humor. They really know what they are doing.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely amazing crew at South Pacific Physical Therapy! From the first happy greeting walking in the front door to the personal and innovative treatment every visit. We are so proud and happy to have this team work to keep us as strong as can be EVERY treatment! Thank you all! totheamazi greetingwalking in the

Experiencia negativa: The Physical Therapist, during the time I went was a fraud. He told me that my ankle wouldn't get better unless I stood in the grass for 15 minutes per day, as part of my Homework assignment. He proceeded to explain to me that swelling is nothing but negatively charged ions in my ankle and because the Earth is positively charged I need to stand barefoot in the grass or dirt to have the negative ions pulled from my foot and into the Earth. I have a physics degree and worked as a plasma physicist at the time and after hearing this from the Doctor I never returned to physical therapy and have trust issues moving forward with another.

Experiencia fantástica: I love this place and recommend any one to give them a try they are very professional if I need a place to get my body back like it used to be then this is the place trust me I give them one thousand stars keep up the good work love you dearly thank you kindly for getting me back the way you did.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome crew help me heal and have good vibes

Experiencia fantástica: They really seem to know what they're doing. Everyone is really nice.

Experiencia negativa: Very inexperienced !!! Low budget. No A/C or lights on in the hot summer days. Made my knee even worse. Never saw a Dr . All i saw was the karate kid

Experiencia fantástica: The staff is very caring and knowledgeable. Rachel especially does a great job. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking physical therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: Definitely go here. They always pay special attention to you and treat you amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been working with Doctor Julian Vanderlinden. When I tell you this man loves his job it is an understatement. He works so diligently to tailor each session for the best possible outcome. He truly is attentive to what is going on with your body in each session, and is always calculating the proper techniques to work with you. He seems to be open minded and have a very eager personality and passion for his work. All of the staff, ot limited to, but also includong the receptionist Natalie have been very supportive and understanding. Itis always a pleasure coming here. Highly recommend this place!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Julian has helped me tremendously with my hip. I appreciate the insight he offered me to get me back to walking fluidly.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience with South Pacific has completely exceeded my expectations. I tried PT at several other places before visiting and I was disappointed with my experience. Found this place in Lancaster and was pleasantly surprised at Julian’s ability to diminish my pain in the first visit. The whole staff is great there and I feel like I am always listened to. I can’t recommend South Pacific PT enough. Do yourself a huge favor and check it out.

Experiencia fantástica: Being a vet and worried that the va would send me to a 2nd rate Physical therapy office I was thoroughly surprised at the complete opposite I felt at home, safe secure and confident that Dr Julian would help me get my hips and knees back to 100% and I was not disappointed they are life savers there and all the staff really made the whole Process so simple and easy it didn't feel like an appointment but it felt like something I wanted to do.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going here for my P.T for only a week and let me day by far one of the best I have been to doctor Julieus is amazing not to mention his staff such a chill relaxing environment so welcoming you don't feel like you're there for therapy more like you're with your friends and family and your just stretching

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Julian Vanderlinden is one of the most amazing Physical Therapist we ever had. My son and I have been working with him for almost 10 months, and in this 10 months he has changed our lives. Highly Qualified with the Phd degree in Physical Therapy. We definitely benefited from his deep knowledge in Body and Mind relationship. He not only works on building our Physical Strength but also helps build our Mental Strength. I can not say enough how grateful we are for his coaching. If you want to experience a life changing training and therapy, I highly recommend Dr. Julian Vanderlinden.

Experiencia fantástica: If you are looking for a PT in the Lancaster, look no father than Dr. Julian! I cannot say enough great things about my experience and results. I went to see Dr. Julian at the beginning of my ankle Jiujitsu injury. Within minutes of our first session, he diagnosed my inactive glutes and set out a plan to reduce my pain and get my mechanics working correctly. Within 5 weeks, I had significantly reduced ankle pain and I could not be happier with my experience.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience with South Pacific PT was above and beyond what I expected. Having done physical therapy at other clinics for sports injuries before, I always saw it as a laborious and boring thing, but Dr. Julian V. made it fun, and challenging. He assessed my injury and abilities and tailored the exercises to strengthen around the injury. We even uncovered other issues, like poor balance, which we worked on to prevent other injuries. Any time I experienced that I was bothering the injury, we stopped and reassessed. The experience changed my outlook to PT, I looked forward to going and learning something new each session. At the end, I felt stronger than I had felt even before the injury. Since finishing my sessions, I've been skiing, bouldering, and moved apartments, and my injury was not an issue for any of them.

Experiencia negativa: So disappointed by my last visit, the Physical therapist (???) didn’t know at all why I was there, after three visits. I had to explain him my back pain and when I finished my talk, he asked me what I wanted to do for this visit, I was shocked. It’s like I am the patient and the Physical therapist in a same time. In the middle of my visit, I asked him a question concerning my back pain, he said “I don’t know “. Before leaving, I asked for a patch for my back pain he said “NO”. He supposed to check my file and have a plan for me , which he didn’t do. I don’t know if he’s a certified physical therapist because of his lack of knowledge and communication skills, I will give him a zero for that. He needs to go to school, have some knowledge, learn from experienced therapists and keep his feet on the ground. He ignored me during my visit, it’s better for him to focus on the patient instead of talking about things that don’t make sense . I went to my Doctor that was shocked at what I told her and I was sent to different location where they are taking care of me in a professional manner and very knowledgeable therapists, very happy there.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Julian was an excellent PT. I injured my shoulder and was able to get back to normal in no time. I have full range of motion and my back/shoulders are so much stronger. I know now how important strengthening the back is to shoulder health. I can’t recommend Dr. Julian enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Julian Vanderlinden has helped me tremendously with my neck symptoms. He’s also a black belt in jiu-jitsu so he understands the demands of my sport. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: I came here after my shoulder surgery. The staff is awesome, friendly and professional. I was a bit skeptical at the beginning but their method and care won me over. I am very appreciative of the personal care I received from Jeanine, Ally and Rachel. You girls are awesome!!!! I also got to work with students and watch them evolved. Thank you for all the support and training. And for being my punching partner... apparently I have a strong punch

Experiencia fantástica: I am a very active senior with hip and knee issues. After approximately nine sessions I have learned so much about balance and correct exercises for my specific needs. My experience with South Pacific has been excellent. Steve is working with me to get me back to the activities I love. The special attention I receive from him and his staff have been extremely professional in a friendly environment. What I have learned and continue to learn will remain with me forever.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent staff. They work together to help me get better after a car accident.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent place very nice people

Experiencia fantástica: Definitely the best place I’ve been to for my physical therapy after my knee injury, everyone is extremely nice and the staff is very courteous, they go above and beyond to help get you feeling better. Would recommend anyone here looking for therapy. Happy I found you guys.

Experiencia fantástica: I had the pleasure of interning at South Pacific Rehab for 3 months. I had a great learning experience that benefitted me as a future clinician. Their treatment styles are amazing and utilize specific functional movements based on everyday motions. Treatment styles are based upon each individual in order to promote better outcomes. Great staff that shows compassion, empathy, and high knowledge of the human body as it pertains to movement. Overall, I would highly recommend patients to gain the experience of being treated for any issues they are currently experiencing.

Experiencia fantástica: This place I highly recommend the staff is great at what they do ,their dedication and determination to get me back to feeling back to myself and healed from my injuries is awesome , I came in a train wreck and had tried other places which did not help as how this place takes care of me and focusing on my recovery

Experiencia fantástica: Let's start off with the quick assessment and then dive into the specifics. If you are looking for a professional and engaged Physical Therapist that treats the whole person, not just a the areas of concern then South Pacific Physical Therapy is the place for you. If this is your first PT session or you had a horrifying experience that prevented you ever going back, I highly recommend you give Dr Steve and his staff a chance to experience what professional caring PT is all about. Having never been to PT I only had the horror stories others have shared that it was so painful they stopped going, which led to my reluctance to enter the so called "Chamber of Pain". If the stories that others shared about their PT sessions are true I find myself very blessed to have been placed in the care of Dr Steve and his staff. In their care I benefited from the therapy and good pain without experiencing constant pain that would have made me quit. Thank you Steve, Rachel, Jeanne, Author, Frank, Chris, Allie, Natalie. This wonderful group of professionals has set the bar high and will make you and you body very happy you choose South Pacific as your Physical Therapist. Now for the deep dive facts. I was Involved in auto accident which caused moderate whiplash, concussion, and double carpal compression to left wrist and thumb area. After Doctors assessment and procedures I was assigned to South Pacific for Physical Therapy. Being a first time patient for PT and having heard several bad experiences, I was a bit reluctant and anxious about going to PT. The entire staff at South Pacific Physical Therapy were engage, professional, and most important friendly. You are treated as a person not just a patient. The therapists constantly ask you questions throughout the session to assess your pain level and quickly adapt your exercises to retain focus on your rehab and good pain but remove movements that cause adverse or bad pain. Upon first consultation with Dr Steve and his interaction with new patients I was immediately put at ease and better understood the PT approach we would be using for my neck and wrist. During each session you are constantly under direct one on one direction and observation. During or at end of each session your current plan is reviewed with you to ensure you are not causing bad pain, good pain is required to get better. My uninformed thoughts were PT will fix what the Dr procedures could not, this was so wrong. PT is the rehab portion after surgery and other procedures. Here the person is guide through a regiment of exercises under professional observation and develops a homework portfolio for continued rehab after the PT sessions expire.

Experiencia fantástica: The approach they take here is way different than other physical therapists I have been to, and I loved it. They are focused on full body recovery and functional movement. I wish I wasn't moving out of town so I could finish treatment here instead of having to find somewhere else!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff are all friendly and welcoming. They are compassionate, caring and very patient with you. I recommend them to anyone who needs physical therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: If you’re looking for a good Physical Therapy clinic, this is the place to go! I’ve been under their care for over six months and my body has shown so much progress. Steve and his team are very professional, knowledgeable, honest, and personable. They were able to help me from day one and to this day their priority has been the patients’ health. I highly recommend South Pacific Physical Therapy to any one in the need of great therapists!

Experiencia fantástica: Completely different approach than other therapy clinics and I loved it! They had me moving immediately and my recovery was so much easier AND BETTER than any of my previous experiences with physical therapy. I’m back running and playing sports with my kids feeling stronger than ever. I couldn’t be happier!! Thank you so much guys!!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Steve and staff are very knowledgeable about, not only traditional physical therapy, but all kinds of movement. As a dancer and Pilates instructor I appreciate his knowledge. He is understanding and helpful. When I am ready to push myself, he is there for me.

Experiencia fantástica: From the moment i walked into the office i felt welcome, the therapist and staff are great i was able to feel the difference after a few visits my knee felt better ill keep coming back. Thank you

Experiencia fantástica: I went to South Pacific for a knee injury. The staff and therapists are welcoming and kind. They really worked to make sure I was on the path to healing. They had me do many exercises and watched to make sure I was doing them correctly. They really gave me a lot of personal attention. I would highly recommend South Pacific for receiving physical therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: best physical therapy I've ever been to and has the best reviews of any other place in th A/V! They are very caring and actually talk to you to adjust the program to your needs and how your body reacts to the treatment. the first day I went, they sat me down to understand my situation and started me out with electrodes and a massage, that was the first time I've ever even had a message and I have to say it was delightful! haha I definitely recommend checking them out it will be worth your time!

Experiencia fantástica: My husband has been in physical therapy in a few cities here in California for quite a few months, and not until he started seeing Dr. Steven and his staff has he finally begun to have amazing results. He has gone a total of eight times to South Pacific Physical therapy and every time he came home, my husband was able to show an increase his range of motion and as of lately he is haveing more good days then bad and his pain, although still an issue is not as bad as it was after the accident. Overall he is very satisfied with the professional care and dedication he has reciceved.
