    I have been coming for a few sessions to this place, love the physical therapist. I can say I have…read moreseen some improvement on my mobility. There's plenty of parking space and open availability. My only complaint is the lack of assistance for people that are coming in for their appointments. The secretaries don't even acknowledge when you walk in, they don't help elderly people to check in for their appointments.

    I've been here 6xs in total to help with some knee pain I've been having due to a multi-vehicle car…read moreaccident. Parking has always been a breeze for me for each appt. Speaking of, there's a parking next to my car right in front of the doors as I speak! Lol. The business was prompt in contacting me to schedule appts. I scheduled all 6 appts ahead of time in order to avoid booked out days, which they do get booked up pretty quickly. My first appt was my eval in which they determined my treatment plan. Everyone is so laid back & friendly, always smiles all around. They made it feel like home, as if I was working with a friend. In the most professional way possible. Making the appts go by quicker. Everyone remembers my name, or at least my face to the point where I don't need to check in. They already check me in just seeing me. Making my experience all the more personable. Everyone that I've worked with has been amazing. The equipment itself looks new & up to date. I love how they have floor to ceiling windows all along the front of the building. It brings in so much light in & makes the space feel bright, open, clean, airy, & fresh. The AC is always on & you can noticeably feel it. Which is great because everyone is basically working out & breaking a sweat. & definitely no funky smells. Lol. One treatment I initially mentioned to my doctor that I refused to do was PT. I thought they were just "exercises I can do at home." Now, 6 appts later I can definitely say those "little exercises" alleviated my pain. I feel way better coming out than I did going in. I wanted to provide additional great feedback about Julio - I met him during my initial eval appt the first time I came in. I got the chance to work with him personally 1 out of the 6 appts. He definitely goes above & beyond to make patients feel comfortable. His outgoing personality made the appts go by quicker. Which is something I needed after coming to my appts after an 8hr work shift. I work in management & Julio is someone I'd love to have on my team. Seems like he never has any bad days! Lol. & if he does, it definitely does not show in his work. Every time I've came in, he always greets me with smiles. Attitude is always "can do" & bubbly. Love his love for his little family. If you're having a bad day, expect him to make you laugh when you come in. I brought my toddler son in with me. During the appt, Julio went beyond to make my experience as comfortable as it could be with no judgement. At the end of my appt my son began getting antsy for being here too long & Julio took the initiative to help me by taking my son for a ride along as a day in the life as a PT. My son is FOUR. We even joked about them being "coworkers." Lol. Dan has also been great! He was the last person to help me with my last two appts. He was patient & welcoming. We spoke about our backgrounds & I guess we just all relate. Being that we (myself, Julio, & Dan) all trauma bonded. Lol. I asked them why were doing what they currently do... The story behind their traumas are the EXACT reason why they are the most PERFECT candidates for their position. They actually CARE, they've been through stuff, they have a passion behind the reason for their work, & they're compassionate. I highly recommend this business & the ppl who work there. If I ever in the future need PT services (hopefully I won't ever), this is the place I'd be. Thank you everyone!

    Wish I'd come here years ago. I saw Dr. Steven Brodbeck at Bay Cities Chiropractic today, and…read morewithin 3-5 hours the back and hip tightness and pain I've dealt with for ten years had already faded. Ten years, gone in an afternoon. Honestly, I feel like I wasted so much time on physical therapy when I should have been seeing a chiropractor all along. Dr. Brodbeck knew exactly what he was doing. If you've been grinding through other treatments without real relief, do yourself a favor and book with him. Highest recommendation.

    Best chiropractor in the South Bay & one of the best in San Diego. Dr.B is amazing & gets to the…read moreroot of your pains. I've been to a few Chiropractors in my time & a few were ok & some I thought were good but after finding Dr.B & going to him the last year I realized that he was great & the others were just ok. He actually listens to you & focuses on the issues you have. From headaches, back & bone pains & Carpal Tunnel, he's great for all of it & you can tell he cares. And him & his staff don't try to hustle you or sell you a crazy package. He'll advise you when to see him again with no pressure, it's up to you when you can come in & if your getting better & don't need to go for awhile he'll be honest & let you know. His whole staff has been great every time I've gone, their quick & friendly. They accept many insurances too. I've actually bumped into a few friends here & they all love coming here. He's also real good with the neck cracking, so don't be scared. Come get a crack & adjustment then treat yourself & go a couple doors down & get a raspado from the little Mexican shop. Thanks Dr.B & keep up the great work!

    As a 47-year-old perimenopausal woman dealing with metabolic health issues, I came to strength…read moretraining from a very different perspective than someone who already enjoys the gym or athletics. I had never strength trained before and was honestly intimidated by the entire experience. I worried about getting injured, looking foolish because I didn't know what I was doing, and whether the effort would actually produce meaningful results. I started training with Christian in late April, and I have been genuinely surprised by the progress I've made. Physically, I've dropped a clothing size in both pants and tops, and my DEXA scans show that I've increased lean mass and bone density while losing weight in a calorie deficit, which is especially meaningful to me at this stage of life. Beyond the visible changes, I've also seen improvements in several health markers, which was one of my primary goals going into this process. For me, strength training wasn't about athletic performance--it was about improving my long-term health. One of the biggest reasons I've been successful is the coaching itself. I have low blood pressure and can become lightheaded during heavier lifts, and I also need careful attention to form and knee positioning to avoid injury while still being challenged appropriately. I don't think I would push myself safely or effectively on my own. Christian does an excellent job of finding that balance between encouragement, proper technique, and progressive overload. One of the strongest endorsements I can give is that he has developed a program tailored specifically to my goals, my health concerns, and my abilities. Over time, that has built a level of trust that allows me to focus on the work itself, knowing that each session is designed to move me safely and effectively forward. He is also genuinely passionate about what he does. Every session includes explanations about physiology, training, and conditioning, which I particularly appreciate because I came into this with almost no strength training knowledge. If you're someone who feels intimidated by the gym, is dealing with health concerns, or simply wants knowledgeable coaching that meets you where you are, I highly recommend working with Christian.

    On 9/9/2024 I was injured during a massage at Sports Performance Physical Therapy in Chula Vista…read more The LMT had her elbow in the intercostal space of my left anterior chest when I suddenly felt an incredible amount of sharp, stabbing pain. I cried out and requested that she remove her elbow from my chest. The pain in my left chest was excruciating. I was unable to use my left arm without experiencing an enormous amount of pain. Even breathing was painful. Coughing and sneezing were unbearable. When I woke up the next morning, the pain was severe. Based on my symptoms, I was afraid I had a rib fracture. I contacted Cristianah Comaduran, Operations Manager of Sports Performance to notify her of the injury. She spoke with the LMT, who verified what happened. We stayed in contact over the next several weeks. I informed her that I would be filing a claim with their liability insurance and would contact her once I was completely asymptomatic. For the next two weeks, the pain was severe. I was unable to work, do household chores, and help my 4 year son with the things he needed, like getting dressed, bathing, basic ADLs. I filed a short term disability claim through my employer (I'm an ICU nurse). The stipulation for payment is that the first two weeks are unpaid, and then 60% of earnings are paid. This was a great financial burden for my family. The consequences of this injury were costly with low income for the months of October and November. My pain continued to improve until I caught an upper respiratory infection (URI) that caused continuous coughing. The pain was back and it was severe. Each cough and sneeze was excruciating. Once the URI resolved, my pain improved. For two months, the pain and suffering was debilitating, not allowing me to work, exercise, take care of the household, and most importantly, my son. It caused sleepless nights because the pain medication I was prescribed did little to relieve my symptoms, which lead to chronic exhaustion. The findings of my MRI on 11/14/24, which was two months after the injury, showed asymmetric edema at the level of the left third sternocostal joint. Two months after the injury, I still had abnormal results which were consistent with my symptoms. My thoracic spine MRI from 2022 showed none of these injuries. My PCP's impression was that there was a sprain of costal cartilage subsequent encounter. He determined it was costal-sternal joint strain vs developing costochrondritis. Along with pain and suffering, I experienced anxiety and distress due to financial strain. The injury resulted in thousands of dollars of missed wages. In addition, I was unable to accrue paid time off and contribute to my pension and retirement fund. This set me back two months from being vested at work. When I returned to work, I had very little sick or vacation time due to the inability to accrue paid time off (PTO). In January of 2025, I called out sick for 3 shifts (36 hours) when I was sick with the flu. I did not have enough sick time to cover the hours missed. I also received a double occurrence for my absence, which was not cleared from my record until January of 2026. It was worrisome that despite returning to work, the effects of this injury continued to be a financial burden and was affecting my performance review at work. This incident has also resulted in out of pocket costs, such as co-pays and pharmaceuticals, not to mention I was never reimbursed for the massage that started it all!! Perhaps worse than everything, I had to borrow money from my parents, so there's an element of shame in addition to the pain, suffering, and distress. This injury has been costly in terms of lost wages/PTO accrual and out of pocket expenses, not to mention inability to contribute to retirement and inch closer to being vested at my place of employment. I submitted an incredible amount of documents to Sports Performance in attempt to file a claim against their liability insurance. They were extremely difficult to work with and despite my repeated efforts to present all documents they requested, my claim was denied. Total cost for lost wages and out of pocket costs: $20,224.09. Because of this massage, I experienced pain, suffering, chronic exhaustion due to insomnia, anxiety, distress, and shame...and I didn't even get a fucking apology.
