Pro To Col is amazing. I've been going to them for years for everything from hip pain, to shoulder pain, to C-section recovery and more. Their techniques are modern and up-to-date, and I'm always amazed at how much they're able to reduce or eliminate my pain in such a short amount of time. They're all wonderful, but Julie is my favorite. Highly recommend! read more

Thank you to the entire team! The attention to detail is always on point, and I feel genuinely welcomed every single time I visit. It's clear I'm being cared for by true professionals. Julie is an exceptional teacher--her CE class was amazing! She's incredibly knowledgeable and thoroughly covers every aspect of the body. Mike and Carolina are also fantastic--professional, kind, and supportive. 5 stars only because I can't give more! Highly recommend! read more

I experienced a very traumatic fall 8 months ago which resulted in many injuries including my jaw out of alignment. After working with a Sharp Rees Stealy Therapist with no positive results, a friend recommended Mike Julian at Pro to Col Sport Systems. I have been working with him for the last month and have been very impressed with his skills and his professional and personable demeanor. I particularly liked his doing a video for me of the exercises I can do at home. We still have more work to do on a very serious injury, but I am confident that working with Mike is the best route to restoring my jaw. Lyn Johnston read more

I cannot say enough good things about Pro To Col! I fell off a horse about 8 years ago and have been dealing with the repercussions of the fall ever since. I've tried chiropractor, Rolfing, massage, acupuncture, stretching and other sports PT places. It wasn't until I started working with Julie at Pro To Col a few months ago that I started seeing light at the end of the tunnel. She has zeroed in on the source of the problem and provided me with exercises I can do at home. I see Julie every 10 days or so and I do my homework in between visits. The improvements so far have been amazing ... it's the first time I've had any hope that I'm going to be able to get past this issue. I highly recommend Pro To Col to anyone needing a team of knowledgeable therapists to address any physical issues you may have. read more

Julie is the GOAT. I suffered through countless chiropractic and doctors visit with little to no relief. Within five minutes on Julie table she recognized the problem and was already helping me make tremendous progress. They really know what they are talking about here, everyone that works there is amazing as well! Anyone who works on you from this place I trust whole heartedly. I cannot recommend their services enough and will tell any friends or family of mine to come here! read more

I have been coming here for almost 4 years. I was in a serious car accident. My whole body was a mess from head to toe .Julie and Mike were amazing!!! Saved me from many surgeries. Mike worked on me with exercise, physical therapy and much much more. I will always recommend Protocol. The atmosphere and knowledge and professionalism is out standing. read more

Julie is so easy to recommend. I told her I had a back problem. She said: "I love backs." So either she's crazy ... or good. She ended up very good. She was about the ninth person I tried to fix a back that is supposed to need surgery, according to X-ray and MRI. That is: chiropractor (2), massage, acupuncture, orthopedic doctor (2), Rolfing, spine surgeon, physical therapist ... you get the idea. I met Julie through a volleyball friend who became a physical therapist, but moved too far away to work on me: Nebraska. My friend went to a continuing training event in Southern California, a session taught by Julie. Being an athlete, I asked her what she learned: expecting something on muscles, movement, rehab, etc. Instead, she said "Wow!" So when I called, the cost wasn't an issue; I was getting Wow! I knew she wouldn't be cheap (who want's cheap anyway?). And if I were that good, I wouldn't even be midrange. Julie is knowledgeable, experienced and loves what she does. I thought my hiking day were over. On last year's annual hike, 15 minutes of walking was no fun. I had to stay at the campsite. This year, I hiked for seven hours: seven miles uphill, seven down, 1300 foot increase. I held my pelvis like she taught me, different from the other rehab people. Yay! Side note: I showed her an exercise I saw for my volleyball shoulder, that didn't feel right. She saw what I was doing wrong and fixed that too !!! So I suggest you skip all the "good" rehab people and go for Wow! Oh, she is an hour and 15 minutes away, but so what! read more

Mike Julian has an awesome knowledge of the human form. He has been treating me for a few years now, and there have been times where I have been in so much musculoskeletal pain that I was despondent and could hardly walk. Time and time again his magic hands reconstructed my posture and provided much relief. Thanks Mike! read more

I came in for 6 weeks after having some lower back pain for a couple months and left feeling like a new person. I got the opportunity to work with all of the trainers and can say that all of them are amazing in their own regards. Everyone is very professional, friendly, and responsive to what you think and have to say. If you're experiencing any muscle or joint pain of any kind go here! read more

I have MS. This makes movement a problem, as my right side is noticeably weaker than my left. I also have Trigeminal Neuralgia, about which all you want to know is that the meds make me dizzy if I take too much and make me have pain if I have too little. After the year or so I have been working with Julie, Mike, Donnie, and the rest of the gang, I have made noticeable improvements to my ability and quality of movement. Also, this activity helps me mitigate for the dizziness my meds cause by allowing me to take less. A wide variety of ages and abilities train here, from broke down geezers like me to high school age competitive athletes. Today you might be next to a judo champion, the next, beside yours truly pushing the tank. 10 of 10, would get trained again. read more

Since June 2018, Dr Bates, Julie, Mike, Donnie, Dan and Jill have all been part of keeping my body healthy and free from further injury, from the variety of services they offer, Prolotherapy, PRP, Orthopedic Manipulation, Cupping & Strength and Conditioning. I'm looking forward to a healthy 2019. read more

It was truly a divine intervention that I was connected to Protocol. Coming from Florida, to visit my family, I didn't know any doctors or therapists. Because of a number of events that Took Pl., Mike and Julie were highly recommended to me. When I started with Mike and Julie at the beginning of April I could barely walk because of recent Injuries that made me lay in bed for two months. I probably had one of the worst cases of paraspinal and buttocks muscle atrophy that they had ever seen. I was also going through significant withdrawal from the opioids that I had been taking, because of the pain, for over four months. Mike and Julie are incredible trainers and experts at Orthopedic manual therapy.. I have made significant progress. They treated me with kindness, compassion, and tenderness. I was very very ill and hurt and because of their incredible training and experience I was able to walk about 4 miles, with a walker, about two weeks ago. I would say in someways, they saved my life. They are very deliberate and intentional about what they do, but it's really up to the individual who is being treated to follow through with the exercises. They give you the advice and treatment but it's really up to you. I give them a 10 all the way around. MGC read more

Protocol is always amazing. Takes the time to figure out the issue and works with you to correct. The owners and staff are beyond committed and wonderful. read more

They worked hard to get me in even though they were busy. Mike was so awesome to validate my pain while helping to explain everything as he went along. I learned a lot and it gave me relief. read more

You managed to ease the pain in my shoulder to a point that it feels like it's totally gone! You also saw a past injury and was able to work on it within the 60min session!! Great experience all around!! read more

First off I want to start off by saying I am a former D1 Athlete who played water polo at SDSU. I have tried so many forms of therapy (Cupping, ART, FST, Acupuncture, YOU NAME IT) and have never felt like I truly ever corrected any ROOT problems and or imbalances with anything prior! Yesterday I worked with Julie for the first time and I did an initial assessment and got worked on for my locked up hip I have been dealing with (currently training as a Figure bodybuilder so I lift heavy and want to keep my body safe! follow me on insta @neeks93) She blew me away with her attention to detail and overall expertise in finding the root causes of my hip discomfort. I also really appreciated the fact that she explained everything in detail as she was working on me! As a mechanical engineer I really loved visualizing the biomechanics of my limbs the overall learning aspect of it all! I had even forgotten about this crunchy feeling I would get in my hip capsule when moving it a certain way and she not only found that and recreated that feeling but immediately completely eliminated it! Makes sense considering she is a certified Orthopedic Manual Integrative Therapist! I didn't even tell her about that and she on day 1 figured it out!! I HIGHLY recommend giving her a shot.... you wont be disappointed!! I walked out with a hip that feels like a million bucks ( no longer locked up and I can honestly say I haven't felt this free in years) Beyond thrilled to have crossed paths with her in my gym and giver her a shot! Best part is this is only the beginning with her.... cant wait for my next sessions!!! read more

These guys are amazing. Been dealing with them brutal ankle injury for 3 years. The doctors told me I would need to get it scoped and I would have to be down for 6 to 8 weeks. In a matter of an hour I got 3/4 of the mobility back in my ankle. And within maybe two more sessions I should be back to 100%. This has been an ongoing painful thorn in my side for years swells up every day after work have to ice it let it rest for an hour each day hurts like hell every day at work. I'm a painting contracto,r up on ladders each day. Just after this one day it's giving me the mobility back I needed to function efficiently at work. Super stoked I would recommend these guys to anybody. Definitely worth seeing these people before any doctor visit. Before you get talked into some surgery you don't need that they will most likely botch and charge you 20 grand for read more

SO thankful for you! Thank you Julie Pitois and Pro To Col Sport Systems for ALWAYS fixing me up. I joke and say when my foot hurts you check my shoulder. But the truth of the matter is no one has taught me more about how different parts of my body are connected and related than you. My "good" knee went wonky on me last week, making it hard and painful to teach even the simplest of techniques. 1 hour with you and I can bend and lift my leg (at the same time!) with no pain. You showed me the source of my pain (hammy NOT knee) and gave me exercises to help it continue to improve. LOVE you! LOVE Pro To Col and all that you and your team do there. THANK YOU!! read more

My daughter is involved in competitive Jiu Jitsu. At the end of March, 2022, she hurt her hip at school running. So, I took her to the doctor, and they said that she strained her hip. They said to take a couple of weeks off, and it should get better. However, it did not get better. We waited for over 2 months just to schedule an appointment. So, for 2 1/2 months, got no where with the doctors. My daughter's previous Jiu Jitsu coach recommended going to Pro To Col Sports System. I called them, and the next day we were in their office. Kara was able to diagnose the problem in about 5 minutes. By the end of the hour session, my daughter was able to walk correctly. My daughter was back on the mats practicing her Jiu Jitsu. A couple of weeks after that, Pro To Col was able to assist getting her back into competing mode. I truly believe without the help and professionalism of the Team at Pro To Col, my daughter would still be sidelined from doing what she loves. A huge Thank You to the Team of Pro To Col? read more

You are so much more knowledgeable than any other PT / sports medicine facility that I've come in contact with. Friendly staff and very personalized treatments. You get what you pay for. read more

In less than 24 hours I have been able to have complete range of motion with a level 3 of soreness/pain when my level of pain was 12 on a scale of 1-10 for about 14 days. I was in agonizing pain and was completely blown away to see the progress my body has done in this short period of time with the teams help. I didn't think this was possible with only 1 visit and less than 24 hours since my ortho manual therapy treatment by Mike. WOW! I was unable to abduct/ flex my hip. Felt like my thigh bone was out of place and loose. Simple tasks like getting out of the car, putting pants on, scooting from one side of the bed to the other or tying my shoe were impossible to do. Also, the amount of undivided attention I received during my session was awesome. Great customer service. I chose a 30 min session (I did not know if my body would be able to handle a 60 minute treatment) and even though it took a little longer I was not charged for an hour treatment & really felt like the team cared about me and not just my money. It was a completely different experience than typical western (doctors office) visits. I'm more than pleased & have already recommended 3 of my friends experiencing pain to Pro To Col. Btw I took in MRIs and x-rays and Mike didn't look at them but was able to fix me up in less time than any other professionals I have gone to who have examined these images over and over again! (Acupuncturist, Chiropractors, Sports Med Doctors, Ortho surgeons, Physical Therapists) These last two years have included A LOT of therapy and doctors visits. I'm finally happy to know they will be reduced to only Pro To Col! (I should have listened to my spouse sooner LOL) read more

Highly recommend Pro To Col. I went in for a calf strain and Julie fixed me up in just three sessions. The staff is very friendly and super responsive via email. I submitted an appointment request on a Friday evening after 5pm and got an appointment for the next day which was much needed because I was in a decent amount of discomfort. I love that they have multiple modalities of support all in one place and recognize that sometimes a combination is the best or that what might work for one person may not be another's cup of tea. I purchased a three session package after paying for my initial single treatment, so I plan to go back when I need some adjusting/stretching which will be inevitable since I spin 4-5 days a week. If you're in pain, don't hesitate to go in and do a consult with Julie or any of the professional staff. They are fantastic! read more

These guys are amazing! I saw Mike and FINALLY feel like I may get some relief for my back that has been in constant pain for 15 years. I'm excited to keep going and see what happens. Quality place, super kind people and for me most important, someone that truly understands how to help me. Carlie read more

Love Pro To Col! Julie and team are the best in the biz. If you're looking for butt kicking workouts and awesome sports medicine and rehabilitation this is the place for you!! read more

Incredibly knowledgeable and kind staff. This is where I come anytime something in my body's off and they fix me right up. Everyone Ive referred there has been very happy with their service as well! read more

I was seeing doctors for over a year and got no relief. Julie and Mike have been able to figure out what the cause of my pain was and have been able to relive the pain in just a few visits. read more

Pro To Col staff is amazing. They have helped treat and correct numerous injuries. I am an elite level Brazilian Jiujitsu World Champion and they have helped me recover from numerous injuries and well as helped me with conditioning to be in elite level shape for competition! Several times over the years I have walked in in extreme pain and left pain free. They not only treat the injury but teach you how to correct the root of it through functional training. They are extremely encouraging and have helped me with sports psychology as well. This is a well trained, fantastic team that can help you with injuries, to achieving all your health and fitness goals. I am a product of their services and highly recommended them to anyone who wants better health or has any type of injury. Thanks guys! read more

True game changers. Premier team with a unique strategy that is different (and much more effective for me) than the traditional injury route that is taken if you are put through the insurance and standard rehab system. After an 11 year chronic shoulder instability/issue and seeing more professionals than I can count on two hands, Julie and her team had the approach that was most effective. A little background on what I tried prior to seeing Julie and her team: physical therapy (7 different PT's over the course of the last decade), Acupuncture (2x), Rolfing, ART/sports trainers, chiropractic and a shoulder/medical device. Their approach is focused on looking at the body as an interconnected whole. Most of the previous PT's I'd see would focus on the area of pain/discomfort (shoulder) and not the supporting structures (core, hips, etc). Protocol's team breaks movement down to the basic fundamentals. They get granular, technical, and detailed. They are movement/exercise experts. On top of being knowledgeable, they are fun, genuine people who care and are always throwing new challenging things at you. I would highly recommend Julie, Mike, and Cara to anyone who has hit a dead end with the traditional methods of injury/rehab and is looking for a new, wholistic perspective. Even better - don't hit a dead end and start with this team first if you are injured. read more

Very professional and great knowledge of how the body parts function which always ends with feeling better and more knowledge of how to keep my body functioning the way it should. I've been to Pro to Col several times for different problems and I have left more than satisfied every time. I would highly recommend Pro to Col before seeing a doctor who doesn't understand things about the body such as where problems start read more

Pro To Col Physical Therapy is by far the best I've ever seen. I have significant lower back issues that I worried could require surgery and they've already gone a huge distance in addressing my problem. Both Mike and Julie are great. Most of my treatment has been with Mike. I'd worked with other PT clinics where I was automatically turned over to an intern to drag me through a few exercises by the book with no improvement. Mike manually adjusts me each time as needed and then creates a custom exercise program at each visit. Recently a new MRI showed improvement over one made a year ago. I feel a lot better. I highly recommend what they do. Even Misty at the front desk is a pleasure to deal with. Give them a try! read more

This place does great medically specific massage for pain or sports injuries, and can also teach you exercises to get into the correct movement pattern which gets you out of the pattern at the source of the pain. So if your physical therapy wasn't working (and a lot of times it doesn't... or your insurance runs out...) these guys can get the job done better and faster. With multiple chronic injuries I am very very picky about who I allow to massage me. Visiting San Diego from NYC this week I just got worked on by Julie Pitois former pro athlete, turned sports massage guru. She's awesome... her business & vibe friendly and professional, a very no-nonsense sports clinic atmosphere. I really liked her a lot b/c she specifically and clearly explained the mechanics of why I have my pain problem and how to change my posture. So good. The massagw was not only targeted and specific to alleviate my pain, but also very relaxing. Julie has five other sports massage therapists at Pro To Col sports systems, and she has trained them all herself taking a lot of time and care, so you can't get in with her you're gonna get someonequalified. If you have a really crazy/complicated problem try and see Julie herself by booking far in advance. They also do house calls for people who lack mobility and/or elderly. read more

My other home away from home! Love working out here with the team. I always get my butt kicked, lol. Parking sucks, but that's not their fault. read more

Julie was recommended to me by a friend at my gym after two months of dealing with a shoulder issue and at this point not being able to even lift my arm I took a chance. Julie is absolutely amazing after the first visit I was able to lift my arm and after my fourth visit I am back to beast mode in the gym. I have dealt with a few of the personal trainers that are both amazing and doc is fantastic as well. You feel like family and you never feel like you are just a number I would recommend Pro to col to anyone that truly wants to feel better and make a change in their life. read more

The whole team at Pro-to-Col Sport Systems is just out of this world. Julie helped me recover quickly from a knee injury and discovered the source. Over the last 6 weeks I have been working hard to adjust my training and avoid the same injury again. Fantastic group of trainers. I have referred several people to Julie and the Pro To Col crew. Thanks for the awesome experience! read more

Did a great job helped my posture and my form for my injury and helped run out the injury to make it better. Super nice people too

Mike really helped me a lot after getting rear-ended and experiencing whiplash. I highly recommend him for any pain or trauma you are experiencing in the body! He is extremely talented, kind, and caring. He has an extensive education and background in orthopedic massage therapy and really knows what he is doing. I can not say enough kind words about him and all the Protocol staff. Doc was also very helpful in managing my pain and aiding in my recovery with prolo injections. They are intense but helped a lot. read more

Julie and the protocol team have been putting me back together for a few years now. I started with the manual therapy, and Julie allowed me to go from a herniated disc to competing in BJJ the next weekend. After that, i began training with Pro To Col, and learned how to fix my posture and back pain, so i did not have to have manual therapy all the time. Pro To Col taught me how to put myself in better posture, and with better daily practices to avoid pain. Pro To Col has since grown there team impressively to include Mike, Donnie, and Doc Bates among others. The new additions helped keep me in shape and show me different ways to live a better lifestyle while training my body to work like it should before injuries. Doc Bates being added to the team allowed me to have some much needed progressive therapies to allow my body recover quicker than it would have without his aid. As the years progressed, Doc Bates is now able to help relieve tension in my knees and through his therapy heal tears in knee ligaments in limited time, allowing me to continue being an active athlete. The bottom line no matter, what you do, or have done to your body, Pro To Col has the knowledge, experience, and team behind it all to help you achieve your goals, and accomplish new goals you are unaware that you and your body can accomplish. If you want to compete, repair an old injury, or just improve your physical quality of life, come see them. Whatever it is you want to do, they will enable you to push yourself to meet that goal, live without pain, and set new goals. read more

Julie and Mike are outstanding! I literally can't say enough about them. They have TWICE fixed my back when it decided to go TOTALLY OUT 2 days before a long airplane ride. You have to understand...this last time, I was unable to walk - and then was on an airplane 3 days later. They're incredibly knowledgeable, connected, well versed in all things body related and kind spirited on top of it. You'd be silly to go elsewhere. read more
