Physiotherapy Associates

The staff here — everyone is very knowledgeable and friendly. From the moment you walk in Olivia and Carley always greet you with a smile.
My first PT was Nicole who was SUPER! I had to go through surgery for my frozen shoulder and when I when went back I got Jennifer as my main PT. She was tough on me but I got well so FAST. I could not believe it! She was AMAZING!!! I did everything she told me to do at home and more. I am ecstatic!!!
Albert is the ONE who makes sure you do your exercises and stretches in the proper form which is really the KEY to success in any training. Plus he really cares about all the patients there.
Every single staff member is genuine! I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs therapy!

Very Thorough on initial assesment for my neck and back issues but it ended there unfortunately. Gave me a few exercises to do as home work but nothing really new that I couldn’t figure out myself. Also didn’t spend much time with me during subsequent visits… she stayed with previous patient longer and then left early to work with another patient after working a little on me. Will probably not come back here.

Physiotherapy Associates is where I was referred for Physical Therapy from my orthopedic physician assistant and I’m glad they picked this place.
The staff here are very knowledgeable and friendly. From the front desk, Olivia the receptionist was very polite and helpful. to the physical therapists I highly recommend this place!
The main PT I worked with was Adrian and he was very thorough from my first appointment and onward with being a great listener and understanding at my evaluation. I felt he was kind and caring and each appointment I felt improvement and took all his advice. I went through stretching, ultrasound, heat therapy, massage, and did a variety of workouts with the foam roller, lifted weights, and used the pilates reformer board to help strengthen my problem. I also worked with another PT Nicole and she was fab as well. I am still not up 100% and not sure if I ever will be, but I hope to get there using all the treatment advice they gave me. =]

I have been taking my 84 year old mom to the therapist Nicole Anderson, for back and knee pain. She has helped my mom physically and mentally. Giving her ways to relieve her pain through stretches and light workout to build strength. During my observation of Nicole she is friendly, knowledgeable and truly loves helping people. You can tell she loves her profession. My mom just raves about her. I would definitely recommend Nicole Anderson.

I’m surprised they don’t have more reviews. Probably because they get most of their patients thru doctors office. After unsuccessful PT at another clinic in Mira Mesa for two months, I was skeptical… I started seeing Leslie for my wrist — de quervain aka mommy’s thumb. After first session, I immediately felt better than I ever have in the previous 5 months. I have been going twice a week for a month and half now and I feel it’s almost back to normal!

I have been to Physiotherapy Associates numerous times for various problems, each time using Lisa as my therapist. I cannot say enough about her skills as a therapist. She is very knowledgeable and has helped each and every time I have gone. She is very personable, knows when to talk and when to work! I would highly recommend her should you have an injury requiring physical therapy and you’re in the Carmel Valley area.

Brilliant, knowledgeable, compassionate and dedicated staff. My case is fairly challenging as I have had multiple surgeries and will need more in the very near future, but they have been wonderful at finding exercises, stretches and movements that I can to to help alleviate the pain and pressure I am feeling in my lower spine. The facility is clean, organized and very user-​friendly.

I went to see Lisa Lyle at Physiotherapy Associates earlier this year, after having arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
I can attest to her skills as a great therapist — my shoulder can thank her as well!
Part of getting therapy as you all know, is enjoying your conversation and time with your therapist (I saw here 25x) — and all I can say is that Lisa is a sweetheart, and a pleasure to be around, as well as talented at making you heal faster!
I suspect from peripheral contact that the gentleman in charged of the office, Dana, is extremely knowledgable as well. AND please be patient, because they aren’t miracle workers — we could only wish!

Not sure why Unilocal filtered out three other 5-​star reviews — their filtering system is a mystery to me. The 3-​star average rating out of 2 reviews is just not fair. Anyway, I am working with this location for the 3^rd time now, and I have to say that every time I have been satisfied with their service. The first time was a shoulder problem; 2^nd time finger and 3^rd time sprained ankle, all due to sports injuries. Each time I worked with a different therapist, but all are competent and courteous professionals. Each time I experienced significant improvement (this 3^rd time, just one session so far but already seen promising results). Physiotherapy works and the therapists at this location do an excellent job.

I was a long time skeptic of physical therapy, but I tried so many things before to get my foot to feel better (I had plantar fascitis from playing sports.) Let me tell you that this place had the best customer service and the nicest staff. My physical therapist was Shannon and she did wonders to my foot with constant motivation, exercises, and foot massages. There were times when I would go in right after work and my feet were really smelly (I told her that too and told her I would wash my feet before she decided to work on it, but she insisted that they weren’t smelly at all.) Because of Shannon and the staff I was able to play tennis and basketball again without quitting early due to the foot pain. You will not find a better physical therapy clinic than this in San Diego!

These guys are totally untrustworthy. We went here for an evaluation and were told that the out-​of-​pocket cost was no more than $ 150 but they’d prefer to run the charge (for more money!) through our insurance. Oh, but we weren’t to worry, because they promised to ensure we wouldn’t have to pay more than that $ 150 amount as a co-​pay.
Our insurance bill arrives, and it’s $ 209.16 for the out-​of-​pocket expense due to Physiotherapy Associates. We call them up, talk to the same woman, and she refuses to lower the cost down to the promised $ 150 cap. We then quiz her on the cost of various procedures, out of pocket, and get vastly different answers than our first visit.
Skip this place. Find someone with some integrity instead.
