After doing a dead hang in my garage in January, my right shoulder was very painful, and I had limited range of motion. Andrew at Catalyst physical therapy in 4S Ranch is a top-notch physical therapist, and he goes above and beyond. He made sure I was doing my exercises correctly, to ensure I was targeting the right muscles. I really appreciated this because those small tweaks in how I move can make an enormous difference. He consistently ensured that my exercises remained challenging and changed things up as needed. His deep tissue work was also amazing, and it made a significant difference in my recovery. I was so happy when my shoulder pain and range of motion was better. I am back to my regular weight training at the gym with no pain and full range of motion. I highly recommend Andrew and Catalyst PT at 4S Ranch. Everyone I encountered was very knowable and helpful. read more

Andrew's honestly one of the best PT's out there (and I've been through at least 4 other PT's). He's diligent and caring. It feels like he actually wants to help me get better instead of just trying to get through the day. He also knows his shit and can diagnose almost as well as an MRI lmao. He also helps you really figure out what the issues are and actually solves them. I can't rate him high enough. I very highly respect him and I'm so thankful that he's on my care team. read more

Andrew, Christina, and staff at 4S Ranch are great. My dad has been going for physical therapy after he fell and had a hip surgery. Andrew and Christina are very patience and understanding. They motivate my dad to keep exercising and maintaining his balance. Thank you for all their hard work and dedication. read more

Highly recommend Catalyst - the PTs are attentive, knowledgable and realistic with at home exercises. Andrew, Brynn & the team worked together to help me heal - a true team effort. They worked constantly to get me better and really listened to my pain/issues. Scheduling is easy and flexible which is also a huge plus. read more

Would give 10 stars if I could! I started seeing Andrew at the 4S location a few months ago after a neck injury and I couldn't have had a better experience. Scheduling was flexible, it was covered by insurance, and the quality of care was amazing. I healed and strengthened quickly and learned a lot about prevention for my hyper mobility read more

I went to catalyst physical therapy for my scheduled evaluation, only to find out that my appointment called and they never told me. There was some confusion about my insurance, and I had spoken directly to my insurance company with the insurance person from catalyst on the phone who confirmed everything was fine, but yet The appointment was canceled and they did not bother to tell me. I would not recommend this company at all. read more

Team is phenomenal. Always professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and attentive. Got my ailments sorta out. They rock!

Catalyst changed my life! I had three herniated discs right on top of each other I couldn't sleep, stand, sit...basically live life. I've been to physical therapists before and all they did was give me exercise sheets from the 80s. Catalyst not only has the exercises (a lot of them being new exercises I've not seen before), but they have a short hands on portion to help massage problem areas. I really like how the clinic also is proactive on learning new techniques so they're not stuck in the same pattern. I'm able to run, exercise, and no longer cry when I wake up. Thanks, Catalyst! read more

I used to see Adam at a different clinic, and when I found out he was at Catalyst, I didn't hesitate to reserve there. Adam is a great physical therapist that has helped me get healthy and stay healthy in spite of a high training volume, and thanks to him I was able to achieve my marathon goal! Highly recommend Adam and Catalyst. read more

As background, I have done PT since my early 20s for a variety of injuries, mainly all sports related. I had a good therapist in Maryland, but she was always split to 3 or 4 people at a time, so there was some time spent waiting for direction. I did not like that the therapist's time was split up so much, seemingly to maximize the number of patients and increase profits. Catalyst has been much more of a personal experience. The therapists are able to do the exercises themselves, which helps with demonstration and just general credibility (it is better when someone can do the exercises that they are advocating). I was admittedly suspicious of working with a PT aid, just less experienced and I want to get as much as I can out before insurance cuts me off. But the aids have been really good and hands on - helpful demonstrating exercises and monitoring while I do them. Overall, I am extremely happy with my experience at Catalyst! The facility in 4S is a little small, but exercises are body weight or only a few dumbbell weights, so no need for lots of machines. I really like the ease of appointment system, the text messaging reminders, and ability to text to change or cancel. I am also super appreciative that staff wear face masks during my appointments. I realize it is now uncommon and the world is over Covid, but my health complications and the health of my wife during the current medical process means that we still have to be cautious because we are in a different place than the rest of the world. Overall, just very appreciative! Only wish would be for the facility in 4S to be a little larger, but it's Southern California and rent/real estate costs are illogically high and require donation of bodily organs. read more

Catalyst is an outstanding Physical Therapy clinic. In my 65 years I have been to a bunch of PT clinics but Andrew and the team of people at Catalyst are special. Other clinics seem to be focused on #1, getting paid, #2, having me sit in the waiting area, and #3, rushing through a 30 minute treatment. At Catalyst, they are focused on how "you" are doing and getting you healthier. It's a noticeably friendly environment and they really make you feel like family. I always have a lot of questions and Andrew is ready to give me the "what, why and how" the various treatments, stretching and strength exercises will advance my health. He continuously adjusts and modifies the treatments and home exercises each session to improve my conditions. I will never be 25 again, but the multiple weeks of 60 minutes sessions have definitely helped me in my various sports and activities. I highly recommend Catalyst and the team in 4S Ranch. read more

I would totally recommend Catalyst and Andrew for PT. I now have tools to take better care of my knees. Andrew made my experience fun and put me at ease during our sessions. I felt encouraged and reassured that I would improve and get stronger. And I definitely have! Thank you sooo much Andrew and the Catalyst team. read more

Docs and team here have helped rehabilitate me from chronic pain to a sustainable active lifestyle again. They found out things about my physiological status that even I didn't even know and have helped me correct it for better long term health. Will continue to work with them in the future! read more

I absolutely love Catalyst! I am a soccer player and I hurt my ankle a lot, so I came to Catalyst to help. My physical therapist was Katie and she was amazing! She was very positive and helpful and she always made sure I was doing my exercises correctly. Katie got hired to be Wave FC's physical therapist, so I got Lindsay. Like Katie, Lindsay was so sweet, helpful, and caring. She is helping me improve my running form and agility for soccer and I can see a difference already. Overall, Catalyst is amazing and you should try it if you need Physical therapy. read more

I've been a patient of Andrew's for a while. Initially I came to see him about a shoulder hip and ankle problem from playing tennis. Andrew was like Sherlock Holmes and got to working on diagnosing the true source of the problems. I got a customized exercise plan along with different therapies that he uses on different body parts. I must say that I see a marked improvement in my ability and discomfort. Not only will I be back to see him with any new ailments but I recommend him to all my friends. Catalyst as a whole is a great group of pros who know what they're doing. All this in a friendly atmosphere. read more

I loved my experience at Catalyst! The environment is very professional, positive and welcoming. Lindsay is amazing! I went in for leg weakness due to my MS, and Lindsay was patient, friendly and positive. She clearly explained what was needed to strengthen my leg and hip in order get me moving better. She demonstrated and led me through all the exercises and stretches as well as developed a personal plan of exercises for me to do at home in between visits. I was excited to learn the also offer massage! I highly recommend Catalyst for anyone seeking physical therapy. Thank you Catalyst! read more

If you're looking for a physical therapist, Catalyst is sure to fit all your needs. The clinic is always clean & tidy, the staff is always friendly & conversational, and my therapy is designed around my specific needs & long-term goals. Catalyst doesn't just see you as another patient, they see you as a person they care about & genuinely want to help you get your life back on track! I was skeptical if PT would even help me since I'm a complicated case (Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Small Fiber Neuropathy) but I've been seeing Lindsay at the 4S Ranch location for 2 months now & it is amazing how far I've come. Since my SFN causes a burning sensation through out my entire body any time my heart rate increases, exercise has been near impossible for me. But with Lindsay's excellent care through stretching, strength training, & massage therapy, I am now able to endure 30 minutes of body in motion! I went from having to lay down almost 24/7 due to minimal muscle strength/energy & SFN pain for the last year, to now being able to be out of bed more & participating with life around me! I can't say thank you enough to Lindsay & the Catalyst team for all they have done for me. They are truly an amazing group! read more

I had so much knee pain after orthoscopic surgery I was finally perscribed PT. I had been limping for months. After working with Andrew and his PT Team, I am walking with my full weight on the legs and able to climb stairs and descend them as well. I am so happy to be out of pain. Great people. read more

I wanted to let you know what a pleasure it was to have my physical therapy sessions at your RB location. Both my ankle/balance and rotator cuff have immensely improved thanks to Dr Lindsay Russo and the staff. From the front desk, where Christian greeted me and scheduled my sessions, to the assistance from the Aides, and Dr Russo's fantastic manner, I had a superb experience at Catalyst. Dr Russo was the perfect physical therapist for me (and I'm sure many others). From the start she created a great personal relationship by understanding my needs and goals tailored her treatment to achieve those goals. She personally walked me through all the exercises and stretches, as often as she was able performed them with me so I can model my movement after the correct form. She even went steps further to email me links to videos she or a colleague created to assist in my "homework." This was so very helpful to see the movements on one of my devices as I was trying to remember the movements, unlike others I've experienced where I was given a drawing. simply excellent! I could tell and feel as she worked on my ankle and rotator cuff areas that the therapy was making a difference immediately. Her "Bedside Manner" is simply superior as she explained what she was doing and how the exercises all connected ti improve my physical deficiencies. Through my interaction with her, she put me at ease and in a very positive way helped me improve to the point my balance is so much stronger and rotator cuff so much stronger. She was also a delight to watch with the Aides. She knew since they were all future Physical Therapists, she gave them a lot of responsibility for my rehabilitation. They were all awesome. She mentored them and kept moving to ensure they were developing and keeping interested by explaining what the specifics of my treatment were in terms they could visualize and understand. This is a great way prospective PTs will grow and maybe even come back for future employment. The facility at RB is a very positive and healing place to be in large part to Dr Russo. I am very thankful the VA sent me there and I'd highly recommend it to other veterans and friends...awesome experience! Jerry Inumerable read more

I've been going Catalyst for therapeutic massages with Bess for about 20 months. Bess is the best. She cares, she listens, she has great massage technique, and she takes notes. Bess has provided insight on how to adjust my walking, workouts and stretching to help minimize muscle soreness and discomfort. Simply put, Bess is the best. read more

They were able to quickly assess issues related to my IT band and flexibility. The facility offers a unique therapeutic experience. Being attached to a sports performance gym is so nice. The staff is great and they are highly attentive want you to recover quickly. Any chance I get, tell my friends and family that are ailing to go give CPTW a shot, as they won't be disappointed. read more

I can't say enough great things about Catalyst! Lindsay Russo and Kristen Campbell are incredibly talented physical therapists. They have both taught me so much and helped guide my return to running/hiking following a significant injury. I only wish I had known about Catalyst sooner-- I may have been able to prevent this injury in the first place w a solid run assessment and strengthening program which they offer. That said, I'm grateful that they can continue to guide my training and help me prevent injuries in the future. Thanks Catalyst! read more

Came in for a consultation for a bum knee and Lindsay was awesome! She listened carefully about my issues and provided excellent feedback and analysis. Also the front desk girl Madi is a gem. read more
