I,m very thankful to Dr. Beam. first time I came in to the office, I was very skeptical. Now I can say: "I'm so glad I stayed the first day". She is not like any other doctor, she is a very talented, caring, and worthy. She will go the extra mile to help you get well. Looks can be deceiving, but you will not regret to be treated by a very young looking Doctor. I had a car accident on August 2013, It took doctors almost a year to find what was wrong with me, doctors wanted to perform two surgeries on me, especially because I had a cervical disc bulging. I'm happy to say that with the help of doctor Beam I'm doing great and I did not have to go for surgery. read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Beam! She is so committed to doing the right thing by her patients. I have extreme calf muscle aches, cramps and fatigue that I've sought help for before, only to be told to drink more water and stretch.. the issue only got worse with these half-assed solutions. Dr Beam quickly identified the problem as scar tissue build-up in my ankles, knees and hips. I skateboard and surf regularly to this problem makes sense. She is in the process of helping me get back to peak performance and has modified our sessions to really isolate my problem and do whatever it takes to fix it! I'm incredibly thankful to have found a good DR who cares about what they do! 100% would recommend to give this place a shot. read more

Dr. Beam is really knowledgeable and friendly. She fixes me up every time I go visit her, she's helped me out a lot with my lower back and knee pain. I cannot recommend her enough if you are having any physical pain, you won't regret it. read more

Dr Beam I'd an absolute magician. I was suffering from excruciating back and leg pain from a car wreck I was in, but my physical ailments are no match for Dr. Beam! She is an absolute joy to be around and doesn't just fix me up, she explains exactly what is wrong and how I can help fix myself at home until our next appointment. Going to see her is the highlight of every week. I don't think that there is a better physical therapist in the world. Do yourself a favor and give her a call, you'll thank me later. read more

Couldn't get back on the paintball field without Dr. Beam's help! After years of wrestling my back has never recovered and during our first appointment she correctly diagnosed all the orthopedic conditions prior doctors couldn't. A true life saver that helped me get my life back on track. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Dr. Matin is amazing!! He has helped me so much in the past year, I felt it was time to finally write a review and let others know how great his practice is. I have really bad back problems from dancing most of my life, and the scar tissue therapy he's done has changed it immensely for the better. I no longer wake up in morning with back pain and stiffness! He has also worked on some problems I was having with my neck and hip, along with my TMJ. I've had a lot of sessions with him, and after every single one I have left feeling relieved. What I like the most about going to him is that he is such a genuinely nice person. He really enjoys his profession and it shows. He strives to heal his patients permanently, and I can attest to this. I haven't needed to go back since completing my back treatment last March. With the exception of a couple weeks ago, when I went in for a strained neck.. but that's a whole different story! Actually, I should also add that he was able to fix that strain in only one treatment. I thought I had done some serious damage and was worried. Nope! Dr. Matin has magic hands. read more

Dr. Beam is amazing! It's obvious that she loves what she does. She has a fun, positive, friendly demeanor, and is super approachable. She is extremely knowledgeable about the various causes/sources of pain, including how the muscles are affected in addition to the spine. She explains exactly what is happening in the body in a way that's easy to understand, listens to what I have to say, and asks various questions to ensure I'm getting the best treatment possible. I highly recommend Dr. Beam! :) read more

5 Stars is not enough! Life changing pain elimination from only 1 visit!!!! I've done bodybuilding, CrossFit, yoga, parkour, bodyweight/calisthenics, and most recently gymnastics, nothing professional, for 15 years. My shoulders have been through a lot of wear and tear. Before my treatment with Dr. Beam, I was at the point where I couldn't lift a grocery bag from my car's driver side seat to the passenger seat without medium pain and discomfort. I couldn't do chest flies or dips in the gym without the same pain and discomfort. Even push-ups had some discomfort. I figured this was all a result of bad form over many years and that I just had to live with it for the rest of my life. After 1 treatment all pain and discomfort is gone!!! Dr. Beam is truly a Subject Matter Expert in her field. She knew what was wrong and the necessary treatment to fix it from one conversation. She's a specialist and expert in her field and I'm sure there are so many out there that too could experience life changing pain elimination from her treatments!!! read more

I am in the holistic health care field and have a background in sports medicine, so who should better know how to properly lift and move large, heavy items? Apparently, not me, as all my training was out the window last Sunday. I decided to straighten up the back yard which included moving the grill and propane tank. As I was pulling the grill with one hand and the tank with the other all the while bending over and walking backward (smart...I know) I felt a twinge in my lower back. I knew it was bad when I couldn't straighten up and the pain was radiating into my hips and down the back of my legs. I had met with Dr. Matin before, usually for my neck, and he was always friendly and extremely professional. I visited him on Monday morning for my new "issue". He preformed the exam and determined that I had not herniated any discs and had most likely strained the muscles and tendons around the area. He gently adjusted me and I left me with strict instructions to come back in a couple of days for a follow up and not to go the the gym for a couple days (good news...bad news?). So, if you're looking for a chiropractor that is professional, caring and actually listens to you, I highly recommend Dr. Matin. In addition to this, he is conveniently located in Mission Valley which makes visiting him so much easier as well! Plus, if you mention you saw him on Yelp, you get 25% off your initial exam, and who doesn't love a deal! read more

I was in town for one weekend, with very sore legs. Every step was very painful. I anticipated returning home and facing orthoscopic surgery on both knees. My friend Barbara encouraged me to just talk to Dr Matin for a second opinion. Reluctantly, I did. I really dont understand what he did buy it involved some odd twisting, and I walked out painless, revisited by home surgeon who puzzeledly suggested we postpone surgery. Its been several months now and I'm planning a hike to Half Dome in Yosemite. Dr Matin has magic hands. read more

Dr. Shamim not only put my bones back in place, but he fixed the muscles surrounding my neck. I am so impressed with the method to his madness. He finds the source to the problem so that the pain ultimately goes away without it reoccuring. Who knew that a muscle the size of my pinky nail could be causing so much problem! Thanks doc! read more

I would give six, seven ...TEN stars if I could! Dr Matin is an amazing and knowledgeable doctor and human being. He exudes love and genuine care to everybody. He got me walking again and out of the unrelenting, terrible pain game that stole my life with NO surgery! I had been to soooo many doctors before him who sent me away with drugs and no diagnosis nor even evaluation!! Dr Matin took an hour and a half to do a very comprehensive evaluation and told me EXACTLY what he thought it was down to the detail. I went and got an MRI and he had it nailed it to the T!! I had to continue to consult with surgeons per insurance and I was told back surgery was my only option by other doctors and that other methods do not work!! Little did they know "those methods" were the ONLY thing that allowed me to even walk into their office! Dr Matin WANTS TO FIX YOU! It is very obvious and clear that he is not there to tell you to come back 2x a week for the rest of your life and take your money like sooo many people think about chiropractors. (and I know there are a lot out there, been there, done that) If he doesn't think he can fix you, he will tell you. He also is sooo much more than a chiropractor and doesn't even necessarily use chiropractic on every one. He uses many modalities specific to your issue. I could write and write about how wonderful my experience was and how I am forever grateful to him for giving me my life back. Please go see him. If you are suffering.......please go see him. read more

Dr Matin has been an immense help to my fiance. After visting a less than stellar "doctor" some time ago, it's a refreshing change to find someone passionate about their work and compassionate about their patients. I cannot recommend him enough! read more

Nothing but amazing. I highly recommend Dr. Matin!!

Dr Beam and previously Dr Matin are truely miracle workers. Not only is Dr Beam extremely talented both in diagnosis and treatment, but she is kind, caring, and goes above and beyond for her patients. I had worked with many specialists both in San Diego and Northern CA for 3+ years before being fortunate enough to find Advanced Body Therapeutics. Now I am off pain medication and no longer need injections in my neck and back. Dr Beam helped me manage other pain issues during my recent pregnancy and now with the physical stress that comes along with being a new mom. It is hard to put into words just how much Dr Beam has helped me and the gratitude I feel after years of feeling hopeless and helpless. read more

THIS IS A GREAT PLACE!!!! Awesome to work with Shamin and his knowledgable staff. Highly recommend going here. He doesnt just crack and smack you, he really takes the time to understand your needs ad help you reach your goals. Really happy to say I have known the business since 2010 read more

Dr Shamim Matin and his practice are one of the "undiscovered jewels" of health care in San Diego! In just a couple of appointments it has become crystal clear to me that Shamim really enjoys what he does and takes personal pride in the success of his patients. His thoroughness and approach are so refreshing in a day and age where many health care providers have created a virtual "revolving door" and little if any personal attention is provided. What impressed me the most was that Shamim is as dedicated to my health and athletic goals as I am! Together I feel that we are a team that can handle any strain,injury or challenge my racing and training can dish out! Glad I found you Dr. M!!!!!!!!! read more

If I could give Dr. Beam ten stars, I would. She is always honest, kind, attentive, and tough as nails. Her goal is to get you healthy and never see you again, as opposed to collecting life time patients. She will find the problem and help fix it. I have referred anyone I know to her that is having pain. After seeing numerous doctors, chiropractors, surgeons, acupuncurists, and massage therapists, and always feeling like no one could help, finding Dr. Beam was a miracle. read more

Dr Beam is completely honest, upfront, and constantly bending over backwards to suit the needs of her patients. Not only that, but she provides a service that I have not found in 5+ years of addressing a chronic neck and back problem with every manner of doctor, acupuncturist, chiropractor, and pretty much anything/one else you can think of. I have been in constant pain for what seems like an eternity and thanks to Dr Beam I have had my first pain-free days! I have sent my mom, best friends, wife, and anyone that even mentions a pain problem to this clinic. I cannot stress enough that her skills are unforeseen in a sea of (somewhat) similar practitioners. To simply call her a chiropractor seems unfair in regards to the quality of treatment and vast breadth of knowledge she possesses. Top it all off with the fact that she has great bedside manner and is a genuinely interesting and relatable person. And with all this, she is somehow more affordable than the majority of practitioners I have seen. I went from feeling crippled and hopeless to realizing that there is not only light at the end of the tunnel, but there are identifiable causes and solutions to the problems that have plagued me. My only regret is that I did not find her sooner. Do yourself a favor and call now to schedule an appointment. read more

Dr. Matin is as good as it gets. I had been struggling with lower back pain for about 13 years and had tried just about everything prior to contacting Dr. Matin. My lower back pain had gotten so bad that even the simplest daily tasks were difficult and very painful. I was unable to do the things I loved the most, so I knew I needed to do something. When I contacted him I was very hesitant to believe him, because of everything I had tried, but decided to give him a shot. My first visit he ran several tests in order to figure out what exactly was going on. At the end of the visit he said I know I can fix this. Fast forward a few months I finally have my life back and able to do all those things I love. Dr. Matin differs from any other place I have gone to because he is not trying to give you a quick fix that gets you through a week or two, he is trying to actually get rid of your pain for good which is much different than anyone I have ever gone to. Dr. Matin is extremely personable and makes you feel very comfortable. I would recommend anyone to give him a try especially if you have been suffering for awhile and no longer want to live in pain. read more

My husband and I had been having chiropractic care for several years now and because we move often, we have to switch doctors frequently. We're always looking for someone who specifically works with athletes, gives chiropractic adjustments but also takes the time to identify the types of supplmental care that are necessary (ie. icing, e-stimulation, heat therapy, massage, etc). In understanding that there are mutliple things that have to align for an injury to be remedied, we appreciate this type of care. Dr. Marsh is only the second doctor, in a long line that we've tried, to give this type of attention and provide you with a comprehensive treatment. He is also very personable and provides for a comfortable visit each time. We have been quite pleased with our visits! read more

My experience with Advanced Body Therapeutics has been life changing, to say the least. A few months ago, I randomly came across their information on the Graston Technique website literally as a last resort - and I cannot stress how grateful and fortunate I am to have found their office. i had seen about 25 medical professionals over the past 3 years (ranging from orthopedists, vascular surgeons, chiropractors to countless physical therapists, acupuncturists, rolfers, only to name a few) before finding Advanced Body Therapeutics - and almost every one of those medical professionals could never fully diagnose my condition. What was most depressing was that for the most part, I was told that my issue would never be completely resolved and that I would most likely live the rest of my life in pain. After my initial evaluation with Dr. Matin at Advanced Body Therapeutics, it was very clear that my problem was nothing out of the ordinary - I suffered from an overuse injury of many large and small muscle groups. However, the only reason it was extraordinary was that due to my high tolerance of pain, I was able to withstand the injury for a very long time (10+ years) which incidentally led to the formation of very resilient scar tissue. So, while each type of therapy I tried in the past provided short-term relief, I never felt that my longstanding injury was ever fully addressed. Dr. Matin was able to fully diagnose my injury and is providing the exact therapy that is needed to FIX my condition. After the first few sessions, I'd honestly never felt better in a VERY long time. I never believed that the quality of my everyday life could be this great! I am so grateful that I am able to function so much closer to "normal" than ever before. At the present moment, I am not 100% recovered, but I am confident that one day in the very near future, I will be completely pain free, all thanks to Dr. Matin and his ability to fix my injury. If you are experiencing any sort of pain or discomfort, I strongly encourage you to see Dr. Matin. Not only is he the best of the best, but he is also one of the kindest, most compassionate and unassuming doctors out there. He is truly a genuine human being! read more
