I saw Luke for my first two weeks of Physical therapy post ATFL surgery. I was greeted with professionalism and warmth the second I walked into the office. I received individual care from Luke for a full hour which is not common among Pt clinics. Luke gave me thorough manual, incredible soft tissue work, and exercises to build strength. He followed my Orthopedic surgeon's instructions and made sure I knew that I was supported and will improve over time. He even coordinated with the Solana Beach location to ensure that I received BFR even though they didn't offer it at the Enci location. Cannot rave about Rise enough. Thanks again Luke! read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing enough that I felt it was worth sharing. I was trying to schedule a physical therapy evaluation for my daughter. Over the course of about a week, I called 7-8 times, left multiple voicemails, and even submitted an inquiry through the website. I never received a single callback or email response. Eventually, I stopped by the office in person because I couldn't get anyone to respond. When I explained that I had been trying to reach the office for a week, the front desk staff dismissed my concerns and told me I must have had the wrong phone number. To make sure, I called the number right there in the office, and their phone rang. I completely understand if my daughter needed a physician referral to use insurance, that wasn't the issue. The issue was the lack of communication and the way I was treated. Rather than receiving a helpful explanation, I felt dismissed and unwelcome from the moment I walked in. I can't speak to the quality of the physical therapists themselves, but first impressions matter. Unfortunately, the customer service and front office experience were enough for me to choose to take my business elsewhere. read more

RISE Physical Therapy Encinitas is best!! Absolutely love the team here!! Diego is an AMAZING physical therapist. The front office staff, Quinn is also super helpful and caring. For my shoulders, this has been the MOST PROGRESS I've experienced from any Physical Therapy clinic I've been to, and I've been to a few locally. Diego has helped relieve a lot of issues with my shoulders. Really appreciate his Hands-On techniques, and the cupping and taping has been helping tremendously! So super grateful to Diego, Quinn and Andrew who started me off. Everyone truly cares about my progress here and it has been a very supportive and healing environment for me! Thank you RISE Encinitas!!!! read more

What an amazing place. Everyone is so nice. The quality of care is next level. My therapist Luke is just 5 star all around. So rarely these days do you feel like you're heard anywhere in the healthcare industry. He listens, gives you the time, and he is helping me get out from under my staggering back pain. I highly recommend!! read more

Luke is the BEST!!! I feel so grateful to have found Rise PT and Luke. I have a lot of issues, injuries and past surgeries. Luke has helped me heal, become more functional and maintain my level of functioning. I've been to many of the PT companies in San Diego and this is by far the best. Luke has an approach that is more holistic than other PT's I've been to. He addresses the underlying muscle knots before moving on the the exercises and stretching. Also at Rise they spend an entire hour with you, and I get to see the same person each time. PT with Luke is a game-changer! read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Diego and the entire support staff at RISE Physical Therapy in Encinitas. Diego worked patiently and competently to help me in my recovery and management of pain and instability associated with the long term effects of neuropathy associated with a ruptured disk in my lumbar spine. The combination of massage and pressure techniques and carefully considered exercises has given me improved stability and function as well as greater overall comfort. He listened and was attentive throughout the process, adapting as necessary for my stage of recovery. In addition to Diego's excellent work, the support staff, both in house and on the phone, kept me informed of appointments and was very flexible when changes were required. Highly recommended! read more

Luke is TRULY the best! He understands exactly what my issues are and knows exactly how to get me back on my feet as quickly as possible. Luke is patient and extremely knowledgeable. Not only is he a fantastic PT, but he runs the clinic like a well-oiled machine. RISE PT is the only place I will go when I need fixing. read more

Excellent service and expertise! Luke was amazing! He is caring, professional and helped me immensely. The center is always clean and organized. The receptionist greets you with a smile and always friendly! Thanks again Luke! read more

Highly highly recommend. Had a nasty hamstring tear last season, and immediately started working with diego and the team. They got me up, rehabilitated and feeling as explosive as ever. read more

I injured my shoulder snowboarding a year ago, and I finally decided to do something about it. I was dealing with instability in my shoulder - along with a reduction in my overall range of motion. I'm currently working with Rodger at RISE in Encinitas. It's been about a month, and it's absolutely helping. The exercises are a mix of range of motion, and strength training - and we track progress each session. Rodger also provides post-visit emails with video recordings (to review new exercises, movements, etc). Their office is perfect, with all the equipment that you'd need. It's conveniently located on the south end of downtown (1st St / 101) Encinitas, and their is a ton of parking in their lot. I'd highly recommend Rodger and RISE. Go check them out! read more

I had an amazing experience at RISE with Diego! I came in with knee pain from skiing, and Diego quickly helped me identify the root of the problem, and formulated a series of stretches and exercises to help address and strengthen them. I really appreciated the time he took to also explain the biomechanics of the exercises, which helped me to clearly understand how everything worked together too. The sessions were a holistic combination of manual tissue work & exercises/stretches. I'm happy to say that my issues have been resolved, and Diego set me up with some post-discharge exercises to continue my strengthening. I also very much appreciated the professionalism and kindness of the office staff, especially Miya! Would highly recommend RISE and Diego! read more

RISE PT is "THE" place to go for physical therapy. The PTs are extremely knowledge, creative, friendly and caring. They push just the right amount to get a person out of their comfort zone, but not too much where it hurts. The exercises are never boring. They even do "cupping", which is fantastic! The one-on-one dynamic is absolutely perfect! When I was there for my bi-weekly appointments, the PT concentrated on me 100% and was engaged. My PT always made me feel safe and comfortable. Luke is truly an asset to RISE and I strongly recommend him. read more

Rose is Amazing! I went in with both my knees a little out of whack and Rose spent many hours helping with stretching, strengthening and massaging my legs to get them on the path to pain free movement. She was great at explaining everything she did as she was doing it, as well as teaching me all about how my knees are connected to my hips and ankles, so it wasn't just the knees we needed to work on. I appreciated how patient Rose was with my questions. I'd definitely recommend her as a physical therapist!! read more

Rose at Rise Physical Therapy Encinitas has been very helpful. I've seen her twice for different problems and she's come up with solutions that have worked really well for me. Unlike some physical therapy clinics, she is detail oriented and works with you, to make sure you progress. read more

This is a long over due review but Luke was awesome! He was able to take a somewhat mysterious pain in my knee and not only help identify where it was stemming from but completely fix it. He and the whole team was so thoughtful in our sessions but also what I was doing I. My daily life that could be impacted by this injury. I'm now pain free and couldn't be more grateful! read more

I would recommend RISE physical therapy to anyone in need of this service. The team at RISE are great. I worked with Royal and he did an excellent job for me. He was very knowledgeable and professional and helped me regain lost shoulder mobility. RISE has a one-on-one format where you work with the same therapist throughout all your sessions. This was a much better experience for me compared to other organizations that manage your therapy through a team of people and you never know who will be working on you. Thank you Royal and RISE! read more

10/10 recommend! I had a tear in my ACL and injured my other knee in conjunction the other year. I started to work with Luke, and am now back on my feet! Luke is professional, prompt, attentive, and extremely knowledgable. Additionally, everyone that works at RISE is friendly and quick to help. I've had a great experience and highly recommend Luke's service and this center overall. read more

Luke was an amazing therapist! After only 12 sessions from a surgery with two tears in my knee, I'm up and running again. Thank you Luke!! I will definitely be recommending you to my family and friends if they ever need some physical therapy. read more

I recently started running for the first time. With no prior research on how to run correctly, I got shin splints. The pain was unbearable since I had a hard time walking up stairs. Roger was able to help me feel better with exercise and weekly treatments. After 3 weeks I'm able to return to recreational jogging and slowly getting back on track to train for a longer run. Thank you Roger for all of your help. I highly recommend his service, it was a pleasant experience. read more

Came in with an injury from work P.T Jon was excellent and knowledgeable Working with Jon I'm stronger now and ready to get back to my normal activities. Thanks Jon I highly recommend him!! read more

Roger is by far the best PT I have found in North County. His attitude, knowledge, and inquisitive nature are far beyond that of others in the field. He demonstrates great diligence in diagnosing and understanding the issue(s). Roger's attitude is inquisitive and attentive where others are dismissive or uninterested. He seeks to understand the issue precisely and targets them very effectively by doing so. His personality is genuine and very friendly. Roger is the PT who will have a personal interest in your improvement. read more

Highly recommend! I went to RISE because of their great reviews and had a great experience with Royal. He helped me fully resolve an issue with my achilles heel, which I was concerned wasn't possible. Royal (and the team) are so knowledgeable and good at what they do. I also looked forward to every appointment because everyone is so friendly and caring about their clients. read more

Luke at Rise was great. What I really appreciate with Rise is you work with one therapist the entire time and you are not passed to someone else for exercises. Luke is knowledgeable, professional and on time. Also, he gave me exercises to strengthen my whole body, not just my shoulder. I would recommend Rise and Luke to anyone. read more

Jon treated me for my sciatic pain. Very knowledgeable and positive. I am feeling back to 100% these days. I would recommend this place to any of my friends! read more

I worked with Luke for the last 2-3 months. Had 3 partial tears in my shoulder ranging from 20-30%. We worked together 1:1 each appointment that included soft tissue, stretching and finishing with strengthening. Surgery was on the table but have taken that option off. read more

I've never taken physical therapy very seriously until Royal really educated me on the importance of understanding how to make my body move better. I usually have a lot of lower back and knee pains and thought I could get by with some stretching and occasional working out, but it wasn't very effective because I didn't know what I was doing. When I started to work with Royal, he helped explain the mechanics and the why's of what I needed to do. From there I actually started to work out with a goal and purpose in mind and now I'm able to get through my work day with less pain! It's an understatement to say how professional, knowledgeable, and encouraging he is in helping me through my sessions! You can tell how much he genuinely cares about every one of his patients from how intentional he is. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND working with him if you're looking for a PT who really cares about your progress and well-being. read more

Luke at RISE is such an effective therapist! I saw him starting in December for an upper back injury and I am now completing my treatment feeling strong and mobile. I am a professional dancer and he always listened to my needs for that day knowing that every day can present different needs for the body. The business model is also great here as there are not assistants that one gets passed off to. One on one at RISE is the way to go! read more

Darren at Rise PT is both knowledgeable and professional and has been a PT for many years. Due to running 25 to 35 miles a week, I developed serious discomfort pain in my ankles and feet. Darren worked with me to both understand the cause of my pain (over training) and taught stretches and exercises to help me recover and start training again. read more

Following my shoulder surgery in October 2020, Dr. Jonathan Fong has been assisting me with physical therapy. Dr. Fong listens, is caring, competent, and holds me accountable. I credit my recovery because of him. Thank you Dr. Fong! read more
