Spine and Sport – Kearny Mesa

My experience here was less stellar. They had so many patients that they could not keep track of what the patients were doing. I heard many aid ask did you do that or not to that patient. That fine but not good. I can go into more detail, which I might latter on but right now let just say I would NEVER step foot in this place again.

Thanks to Unilocal reviews, I chose the Kearny Mesa Spine and Sport to get my physical therapy.
Twice a week for the past month so far, and I am now really feeling better. PT for an injury is never easy nor is it immediate. The therapists know their stuff regards to stretching, form, and how much to push you. Their great attitude, motivation, and humor is also a plus!
It’s been a long month and I leave there feeling the burn, BUT NOW after the muscle soreness wears off, it is truly amazing to feel the improvement. I am very happy with this Spine and Sport.
I was concerned when I read the review about their MED-​X machine never working, but I have yet to see the machine break down.
Vehicle parking spaces are small, so if you have concerns about door dings on your car, go a little later in the day when the majority of the parking lot is empty. Spine and Sport have about five or six of their own designated parking spaces on the side of the business building right in front of their door.

Great customer service. I am now going twice a week and no complaints yet. Everyone is friendly and I get detailed instructions on what to do at home. The equipment is up to date and it is not over crowded with people.

Amazing staff, amazing treatments, and something I look forward too! I’ve been to several other physical therapy facilities and this is hands down the very best. I’ve had issues with my full back for 10 years and this place has me symptom free and functioning at 100%. I really love the trigger point massage and traction tables. I can’t say enough good things about the staff though. Everyone has been so positive and a joy to be around. I highly recommend!

The staff is very good but the equipment (MedX) back machine is never working.

I must say I became a believer of physical therapy after my shoulder surgery in November 2012. I went to Spine and Sport for 3 months following my surgery and it was the best experience ever. I had gone to physical therapy before surgery at a different facility and did not like it. At Spine and Sport I recieved top notch treatment from the physical therapist Marissa and Sean to the ladies at the front desk making the appointments. After going for soo long you become close to the individuals that you work with. Hands down the employees made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. I am very thankful for the therapy I recieved as I am 100% better and could not have done it without their help and support. Thank you guys for being great! Thank You Marissa for pushing me the extra mile to make things happen!!!

This is one of the best PT offices in San Diego. The staff is very professional and informative. because of their help i was able to recover much faster then anticipated

I got to admit…
I didn’t know what to expect. I’ve never been to physical therapy before.
But what I got was great service and treatment.

I had a severe right shoulder range of motion problem, and was referred to Spine and Sport in Kearny Mesa for rehab by my Orothopedic Surgeon in June 2011 and underwent physical therapy for 3 months. During my 3 months my shoulder improved dramatically and corrected my range of motion problem completely. That improvement and major change is attributed directly to the superb help and professional therapy performed by Sharon Gables, ATC and Talita Cila, DPT. They did a great job in helping me regain full use of my right shoulder, and I very greatful for their professionalism and dedication to their clients; and they have my strongest recommendation!

I pretty much destroyed my back during my fifth trip in Iraq in early 2007 (Okay, so it was done for me). The Department of Labor approved this place for me as specializing in spinal Rehab. My legs didn’t work & I was in a lot of pain for a very long time. After my initial medical care, I began Spine & Sport in late 2007 and went through 24 months of PT, at least 2x a week with them. Unfortunately, my injuries were a bit more limiting than I had hoped and it wasn’t just a «pain thing» as I had originally tried to convince myself so there was only so much they could get me to improve. A few more minor procedures & a fairly major surgery later, I started PT with them again this May. They have been great as always! I am an Independent Duty Medic and thus a TERRIBLE patient. They are über-​knowledgeable, contentious, and highly motivating! It’s tough to even begin to call attention to just one or even a couple therapist in particular as I have worked with nearly all of them at one time or another given I am about to complete a total of 30 months with them the first week of August 2011 but I’ll give it a shot: Thank you Heather, Amy, Hillary, Talitha, Sharon, Anna & Doc Verna (Let’s not forget the ladies in the office). Even though there is only one check-​in at Kearney Mesa, I began my first year in Bonita of which is no less awesome! So thank you Kim, Todd & Dawn. Frankly, thanks can’t be enough but know you have helped me to live a life again and I am deeply grateful!

I’ve had plenty of running injuries over the years, and I’ve had some less-​than-​stellar physical therapy experiences. When I tweaked my rotator cuff last month, my doctor sent me to this place.
Strangely, all the times I came here, there were no men — it’s all women. The reception was quick and painless, with a few quick forms. They did have me show up 15 minutes early for my second visit, to go through some health assessment software.
Amy was the PT working on me, and she was fantastic. She wasn’t afraid to flip me over and really get under my shoulder blade, which felt bizarre but wonderful. She explained everything she was doing and why, and gave me a few very simple exercises that went a long way; she obviously has a handle on human anatomy and kinesthesis — I started feeling better after three short visits.
The whole place was very welcoming and comfortable, and the whole staff was really tuned in to the needs of the patients.
Parking was free (they validated), and magazines in the waiting area were plentiful and current. Most importantly, my shoulder is much better.
