The Physical Therapy Effect — Physical therapist in San Diego, CA

Kayla is an awesome and amazing physical therapist. She helped me get pain free and to get my range of motion back. Everyone here is kind and courteous. Thanks for helping me to get better!

Everyone I know doing PT locally goes here and has great things to say, myself included. The owner is a really good guy. The staff is great. There’s good energy there. Sweet Jax is often there for a dose of senior puppy love. Other good boys are also welcome. Now to the PT itself. All of my physical therapists were lovely, knowledgeable and fun. Jana and then Kayla were my main professionals. They’re practical, helpful, explain things, massage pain points, guide you through exercises on-site, and give you homework that can make a world of difference long-term. I highly recommend this team.

Kind of like this…except with you…like as a person… Mark, Alyson and Sarah and the primary people worked with and they told that their philosophy is what is bc called total patient care and…yeah basically like the sketches…nuk nuk nuk…

Nothing but good things to say. The entire staff is very friendly and there is a relaxed and easy going feeling. I have been dealing with plantar fasciitis for around 8 years. This is the 5th time I have tried physical therapy. Nothing has ever made a dent. After working with Kayla for only a couple weeks there was a noticeable improvement. Now after about a month, I am virtually pain free. Left foot has zero pain an right foot only occasionally has any pain. I feel the exercises and stretches I have been taught will completely eliminate the pain in the very near future. Kayla's energy makes the effort seem less painful (yes, excercise can be painful) and the time goes by quickly. I would highly recommend Kayla and The Physical Therapy Effect to anyone.

I had a great experience at The Physical Therapy Effect! I came in for an elbow injury, and Katelyn helped me get back to all of my normal activities. The staff members have created a very welcoming space, and I found my sessions to be consistently informative and therapeutic. Katelyn was very knowledgeable and did a great job creating an exercise program that worked for my needs and lifestyle. Highly recommend!

A shout out to Katelyn at Physical Therapy Effect for helping me heal after wearing a wrist cast for 8 weeks. With her guidance, I had pain relief and return in range of motion within a couple of weeks. Being afraid to move my wrist limited my healing. She was able to give me the confidence to push myself without fear of further injury. Thank you Katelyn!

​After five prior physical therapy experiences, I can honestly say my time with Jana at The Physical Therapy Effect has been the best by far. What really sets this place apart is the one on one setting. Not having to share your therapist's time with anyone else makes the experience so much more effective and personal. ​Jana is incredibly knowledgeable and kind. She was great at adapting to my specific abilities during each visit, which was a huge part of my progress and recovery. I'm thrilled to be feeling better and to have avoided more invasive procedures. I'm seriously so grateful for Jana 🫶

An awesome boutique, kind of physical therapy place, excellent phone service, very accommodating, excellent physical therapists, friendly, understanding, and encouraging. I had an amazing experience with Ariane who was my physical therapist in my post total knee replacement journey. Very gentle, she just pushed me the right amount to get me to be independent. Very patient very pleasant very firm also, if not, I would not have given up the cane. She pushed me to become independent. I will totally recommend this place for its friendliness, cleanliness, expert people. Dr.Singh

I was always greeted with a warm welcome upon arrival. Jana worked with me on my shoulder and back issues. So down-to-earth and easy to talk to. I appreciated how often she checked in with me, seeing if movements were comfortable and without pain. There was noticeable progress in strength and range of motion. Thank you Jana and Physical Therapy Effect team!

The staff here at The Physical Therapy Effect are completely competent, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. In fact, I'd go as far as to say they are miracle workers. I had little to no hope at all that I would heal from my injuries when I started my treatments. Further complicating the matter; before finishing treatment on 1 body part, I started having problems elsewhere on a different body part; and so we had to switch it up. This happened 3 times! That did not get in the way of this wonderful staff helping me to heal. My goal when I started treatment was to get back on my bike again, and I've achieved that. Special shout out to Jana, my therapist who is totally amazing, focused, and super helpful. Thanks Jana......it was a pleasure and an honor working with you.
