With truly whole person support from Dr. Cristina, I have made immense progress on a shoulder injury, am back doing all activities I was doing previously, and am nearly back at full strength if not stronger. Most importantly, she illuminated my need for core stability - a physically rooted foundation - that somehow I wasn't 100% conscious of throughout my entire life. She artfully weaves together her learned knowledge from her training as well as a powerful intuitive healing guidance. Thank you for being open, very thorough, and nonjudgmental throughout this process! It means a lot to me to have worked with you at this threshold time in my life. I would not have received this level of care from other typical healthcare systems. (I tried and left because I knew I deserved better) read more

Dr Cristina is amazing! I decided to switch over from prenatal chiro adjustments to pelvic floor therapy when I was about 30 weeks along. The prenatal chiro adjustments helped with my lower back and hip pain but I was still having pelvic pain and decided to give pelvic floor therapy a try. I could have done it through my insurance for much cheaper but I didn't have a good experience through my insurance's pelvic floor therapy after my first pregnancy. Not all pelvic floor therapists are the same. She is very down to earth, knowledgable, and had lots of suggestions for stretches and exercises to help reduce my pelvic floor pain. Every time I would see her, I'd give her feedback on the stretches and exercises that she had given me for hw and she would take that feedback and build on what worked and what didn't work for me. I continued to see a reduction in my pelvic floor pain where it's now minimal and tolerable. I recommend her services. Also, she has a cute and super chill dog that hangs out in the office who will occasionally greet me for pets when I come in. read more

I have been thoroughly impressed with my progress while working with Dr. Cristina. She is an expert in physical therapy, actively listens to my concerns, and is so supportive in coming up with rehabilitation plans. I started to address a few local pains, and we were able to address multiple issues over the course of my visits. I appreciate that she focused on the whole body to determine test potential causes and to make long term improvements. The SoftWave therapy was amazingly effective at reducing pain and a huge asset to our healing regiment. I always leave my visits feeling more optimistic than when I went in. I highly recommend working with her! read more

I had a lovely experience with Dr. Kristina. As a medical professional myself, it was refreshing to have a physical therapist, educated concerned and willing to listen to the needs of a patient. Not all medical professionals treat patients with this level of care and concern. I saw Dr. Kristina early in my pregnancy and she helped me with excruciating sciatica, giving me stretches and ways to massage. We pretty much eliminated my pain. She even had recommendations on how to cope with movements that caused me pain. read more

TLDR: Highly recommend for anyone working through trauma and chronic illness. Once I learned the what and who Pelvic Floor Therapy, could do for the human body, I knew I had to find a therapist in my area and fast. Suffering from chronic pain by way of autoimmune disease and (seggsual) trauma, I needed to heal my body. I had already invested so much time, money, and effort in many modes of treatments and therapies and yet I was still at a road block. I did some research and once I came across Dr. Cristina's website, I knew she was the one. We chatted over the phone for about an hour and we were both excited to work together. Each appointment I learned something new about my body that I should have already known. Slightly embarrassing but I was way too eager to learn to let that stop me. Unknowing how assault, trauma and illness could impact me to this degree, I knew I had my work cut out. After about eight months of treatment, I started to notice a difference not only in my physical comfort and abilities but my body and mind too. I learned how working through my entire being contributes to my pelvic floor health! You'll feel so comfortable and at ease in your personal sessions and she's pretty funny too. If you have the opportunity to attend her group classes/talks with experts in similar areas, go! The education, treatment for sustainability and one of my favorites - Kit, her amazing side kick and four-legged fluff-ball will be life-changing. If you've ever wondered how to connect with your body and heal through trauma and physical pain, I couldn't recommend researching this mode of physical therapy and calling Cristina anymore than I already have. read more

Dr. Cristiana is a MIRACLE worker!! As long as I can remember, I have had lower back pain and struggled with constipation. Also, since having two babies, only 21 months apart, I have continued struggling with those things worse, plus a weak pelvic floor and incontinence. I started seeing Dr. Cristiana when I was cleared after my second baby at 8 weeks postpartum, and my constipation and incontinence are completely resolved!! We have continued working on lower back pain, but it's mostly resolved and in a much more manageable state! My pelvic floor, we started out by relaxing and then strengthening, and there's a HUGE difference! I have loved working with her; she's become like a friend, and I appreciate just how knowledgeable she is. Many appointments we have had, I would be surprised with something that came up that may not technically fall in pelvic floor PT, but time and time again, she would surprise me with her knowledge and help me with those things as well! I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and everyone! read more

My only complaint is that I didn't start working with Christina sooner. I came to her on recommendation from my doula for pelvic floor therapy in my third trimester. She is amazing and helped nail down my issue on the first visit. Her knowledge and experience are unparalleled and, after each visit, I felt like my condition improved more and more. She is very down to earth and really works to fix the root cause, not just the symptoms. I love her approach to PT and pelvic floor health; its rooted in recent studies and very personalized. I'm much more at ease knowing we'll be working together after baby comes. Highly recommend for prenatal and post partum therapy, and everything in between! read more

Cristina is SO kind and knowledgeable. She really takes the time to get to know you and personalize her care for you! Despite the issues with Tricare/insurance she was always very communicative and doing whatever she could to make sure we could find a way to get appointments in. Highly recommend her to all women, pregnant, postpartum, all of it. She really is the best! read more

Dr Cristina is great!! She listens and creates an environment of healing. Pelvic floor therapy is something every single woman should get to do after babies! It's a sensitive subject and Dr Cristina makes you at ease during the process. I attended a seminar at my pilates studio and implemented some really easy things, I saw results before my first session with her. Trust the process, it's worth the results! I was able to go on a very active vacation full of hiking etc. with variable and unknown access to restrooms- no problem! I never would have been able to do this before working with her. My every day life has improved dramatically, I no longer need to go before I leave the house, when I get to the place, or search out bathrooms everywhere I go. If you're wondering if you should try it, do it- you won't regret it! read more

Cristina is one of the best PT's I have ever worked with. She was referred to me by a mutual colleague, and I have recommended her to all of my friends. Pelvic floor issues can be embarrassing or even devastating and most middle-aged women could use her services. Not only did she help me with my pelvic floor, my back injury is feeling better than it has in ages, and I have an assortment of ways to maintain pain free living. Cristina is passionate, intuitive, and extremely knowledgeable and the has a really cool new office space! read more

Dr. Cristina Zheng is a excellent doctor. She works with your physical issues by assessing and asks questions about your concern (which you need to respond openly and honestly) to help me heal. She has been treating me for about a year for urinary incontinence. My issues with bladder control began during Covid 19 and increased to a weekly problem. It got to the point where I had to wear heavy pads and search for bathrooms from the urge to go and also watch my liquid consumption. This was such a drag and limiting my activities. I began visiting Dr. Zheng for pelvic floor issues bi-monthly and now I have been seening her about every 3 months as of Aug, 2024. Her treatment of weekly physical exercises and helping me become mentally aware have changed my life style. Thank you so much!!! read more

Dr. Cristina is a caring, knowledgable professional. After many years of post pregnancy pelvic floor issues, I was able to connect with her and get an appointment quickly. She was skillful in assessing and addressing the issues. She provided a wealth of education as well as compassionate and trauma informed care. I have experienced a reduction in lower back pain as well as a reduction in incontinence concerns. For many women finding a pelvic floor therapist is difficult and scary, but please know that you are in excellent care with Dr. Cristina. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for pelvic floor supportive care! read more

Cristina is a very comprehensive physical therapist. Each session is a dedicated 1:1 experience that is tailored directly to your specific needs. Every time we met, she effectively adjusted exercises based on my feedback in order to get the best results as well as progress me in my treatment. I learned a lot about my "hip" issue which was far more involved than I realized and Cristina gave me a lot of knowledge about how to best maintain my improvement and avoid any recurring issues going forward. I am an active person who enjoys running and lifting weights. My job requires me to get up and down off the floor a lot. All of these things were being negatively affected prior to starting my work with Cristina. I highly recommend Cristina's physical therapy services. read more

Cristina is amazing to work with! I first met her when she started doing physical therapy for my wife's ankle and my shoulder. She has dramatically lessened the chronic pain I have in my shoulder from previous strain and extensive hours behind a computer. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a physical therapist in the San Diego area! read more

Cristina helped me with my shin and ankle pain. I was never a runner, recently in the last 6 months, I started running a lot. Like 2-3 miles a day. Additionally in my cross-training HIIT style gym whenever I use to run sprints, I would feel pain in my shins for days. I was getting better at my sprints every-time so was the pain. At one point I had to take a break for a few months not only from sprints but from running altogether. This was frustrating as I have worked really hard to get better at running overall. I discussed this with Cristina, who is recommended by my other gym friends, as they got great results working with her. I did a session with Cristina in the gym where she spent an hour understanding different aspects of walking, running style. We tried different exercises to fix the form for running and walking. She came up with a list of exercises that will help strengthen my shins, ankle, and help my glutes fire when running and doing the exercises. Cristina is very patient, friendly, and extremely professional in understanding your pain points and will create an exercise plan tailored to your problem. I also did a follow-up session using telehealth(virtual-visit) because of Covid-19 This session was as effective as in person. Cristina is excellent in following-up and does a periodic check-in on how I was feeling and need any other adjustment in my exercise schedule. I would highly recommend her! I am feeling much better in my running. I did 44 miles in month of April and targeting, even more, this month. read more

Holistic Healing Physical Therapy - Physical Therapy Near Me - San Diego, California

With Covid-19 I was not able to see a PT in person for my back. I had been having low back pain and working from home made it worse. Dr. Cristina was recommended to me by a friend and it worked out for me because she does telehealth online visits. I was surprised at how well telehealth worked and she was able to figure out my problem and guide me through exercises to get my back feeling much better in a few visits. Dr. Cristina also looked at my home office set-up and taught me how to set it up ergonomically which has also helped with alleviating my back pain. I recommend her to anyone and will definitely see her in the future with any other problems. read more

I couldn't recommend FiTsiotherapy and Cristina enough. Earlier this year I was training for a marathon and managed to injure myself during my training which is when I called Cristina. Even over the phone she was able to diagnose what was wrong with me and recommend exercises that would help with my recovery. Cristina is truly amazing at what she does and is a true super hero in my book! read more

Cristina was GREAT! She is very thorough and attentive. I saw her for my ongoing shoulder pain. From my very first visit, she explained everything to me in a way that was easy to understand and gave me great information on why my shoulder was hurting, how to fix it, and how to keep it from coming back. In between my visits with her, Cristina checks in with me just to see how I'm doing and if I have any questions or concerns. I have never received that kind of service with any physical therapist I've been to in the past. read more

Cristina is the best! She knows a lot about physical therapy and has helped me so much! She also knows how to train the body to be toned and fit! Thanks for all the hard work you put into healing us! read more

Cristina has been a pivotal part of my recovery process for my ankle, which I injured a few years back. Her exercises have given me newfound strength and confidence while walking and has also helped so much with the pain. She is also the best to be around -- encouraging and bubbly personality. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing PT in the San Diego area. read more

I dislocated my shoulder snowboarding years ago and recently it started hurting when lifting weights. After a few sessions with FiTsiotherapy the pain went away. They corrected my form and straightened me out. If the pain comes back I'll set up more sessions. read more

Fantastic! Cristina really knows her stuff. I play a lot of sports and was having some pain. She was able to help me out and taught me some ways to prevent it in the future. Would definitely recommend! read more

The physical therapy I received was life changing. Cristina really listened to my concerns and helped me with my shoulder pain. I will never go to another physical therapist again. read more

I had a wrist injury that just wouldn't go away, and only after Cristina worked with me and helped me properly rehab it did it finally get better. Cristina is an extremely knowledgeable, skilled, and kind doctor; she is also an accomplished athlete so I know I can trust her to understand how to diagnose common athletic injuries. I would recommend her to anyone! read more

I met Cristina with the intention of working on some mobility issues I had with a few different lifting exercises like clean and presses, squats, deadlifts as well as running. Along with all this, I had been living with sciatica pain since I was pregnant with my daughter (who is now 3). Cristina's approach to treatment is something I had never experienced before in physical therapy. She was clear and concise with her treatments, and also made sure that I understood that I would have to do my share of work so I could continue to get stronger and heal. In the few short months working with Cristina, not only has my sciatica pain subsided, but I have managed to PR on many of the exercises that initiated my relationship with her. In Cristina I have found a healer and an educator. The more I understand how everything is connected, the more determined I am to make sure I put in the work to get stronger and build on her treatment. Cristina is dedicated and truly invested in her patients. She will connect to make sure I'm feeling okay after a treatment, or respond to a message if I find myself in discomfort. I've never come across a doctor as passionate about her profession as Cristina and no one is more excited to share in your joy when you reach a milestone in your treatment. read more

Cristina is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and explains why and how her plan will get you back on your feet - literally. I couldn't have asked for more. Best investment I've made in myself in years. read more

My friend referred me to Cristina and thankfully we were able to meet via Telehealth. Although we only met through online sessions, Cristina was extremely helpful! I was a little hesistant about doing online sessions, but they actually turned out to be very effective and convenient. Cristina follows up with me every few days to make sure that the exercises are working for me and answer any questions I might have. Overall, Cristina was super friendly and her service was great! I highly recommend meeting with her if you're having any kind of joint pains! read more

I have been working with Dr. Zheng since June 2019 after attending an Ankle/Calf Mobility workshop through my gym, Fitness4ward. Seeing how thorough she was in assessing strengths and weaknesses and in providing exercises to increase mobility and range of motion, I opted to have a whole body assessment. My body was aching and my range of motion was limited in areas and there were exercises I could not do well or with proper form that were inhibiting my performance/outcomes in the gym. I really thought it was my aging body and 'this is the way it will be' for the rest of my life. Dr. Zheng helped me realize and understand the where, what and why to my limitations. She provides exercises to increase mobility and strength and exercises to activate muscles I didn't know I wasn't using! I have been to Physical Therapy in the past and felt they assessed the area of discomfort but never really got down to the cause. The areas around the discomfort were never evaluated and they really didn't spend much time explaining and helping me understand. Dr. Zheng does all of those things so I understood why! Don't get me wrong, I did not see her and feel great the next day! Dr. Zheng gives the tools and will conduct assessments and adjustments as needed, but it has been up to me to put in the work, do the exercises and stick with it! It is not a quick fix, but I am moving more now than I was 6 months ago. I am seeing improvements in the gym and in my day to day activities. I now know to not accept 'this is how it's going to be'. I am so thankful for Dr. Zheng, her expertise and her genuine interest in her client's health and well being! read more
