I broke my shoulder in Dec 2024 and went to PT at the Solana Beach location. The pain was tremendous and I could not even lift my arm. Read the reviews and decided I wanted to work with Ciara. She is patient, kind, encouraging and also very conversant (one time I asked her if they are trained on how to have wonderful conversations with clients). Most importantly she knew what to do with my injury and she and others on her team helped me to full recovery! When I couldn't schedule with Ciara I worked with several other team members who were great too, including Erik, Peter and Autumn. Love Riley at the front desk who is very efficient and friendly. In a way I was a little sad at my last appointment to leave this great group of young folks. I highly recommend Rise Physical Therapy in Solana Beach. read more

I worked with Ciara at RISE Physical Therapy (Solana Beach) for the past year for my knees, back and hip issues. Ciara is a great Physical Therapist and does an amazing job! She is very knowledgeable, a great listener, fun to talk to and always mixes up my sessions. No PT session is ever the same and she challenges me at every session to do more than I think I am capable of doing. Ciara customizes every session based on how I am doing and always gives recommendations on ways to improve and get better. Because of her sessions, my knees have improved, and I am able to go on much longer walks and I am able to do my day-to-day activities with greater ease. My hip issues have improved dramatically. RISE in Solana Beach is a small PT office but they do a great job in their space to provide an hour of great, personalized PT care. I am fortunate to have found this great office and Ciara close by. read more

The therapist exelente very professional she really help me to recover my mobility, unfortunately I can't say the same to the front desk receptionist, I'm think her name is Rylee in my last therapi she wasn't in her place to charge my copay ,I leave and tough I'm going to pay in my next appointment, the next day and the next day and almost every day she called me asking for the payment, i told her I'm going to pay in my next visit, finally she make and appointment and stop by she said I'm sorry today is no your appointment to get this appointment is almost one hour drive, anyway y told to her charge the amount for my last visit and cancel all my next appointments because I'm don't know when I'll be available, she said yes but she take with out my authorization my debit card and suddenly she charges 99 dollars for no reason, y called her she said are going to talk with her manager but after a month no solution, very poor costumer service and unprofessional and no ethics to make charge in your debit card for no reason, please avoid this place. They are going to steal your money. read more

I've been coming here for issues with my pinched shoulders for a few treatments so far. Everyone is great, helpful and I can feel a difference. Go here and ask for Peter Huynh. read more

I went to Rise starting in March 2023 after my 1st knee replacement. Thanks to highly effective treatment by Peter that involved massage, PT exercises, stretching and strengthening, i had a 100% recovery in my knee and within 6 months I had 138 degrees of flex. I went back to Peter in November 2023 after my second knee replacement. Not only did he repeat the success with my knee, but he was able to intuitively pinpoint issues with my hips that not only caused my original knee issues, but also caused some back issues for me. I am now virtually pain free and much stronger than ever. I highly recommend Peter at Rise in Solana Beach for ANY of your physical therapy needs. He is the BEST! read more

Ciara is a fantastic PT! She is intuitive and professional in her approach. I have been working with her for several months with a stubborn IT band and hip problem. I have had other therapists at a different facility, and this is by far the best! The office staff (Jasmine) is friendly and helpful as well. A very positive experience overall. read more

My experience at the Solana Beach location with physical therapist Gervin was excellent! First things first, the office is well located with lots of parking and the staff are well organized and super friendly, just a really good energy there. I've been to therapy several times in my life for various issues but it had never really "worked" before. Gervin gave me exercises that really addressed the multiple issues in my knee (and legs to support my knees, and really my whole body working together) so now I have way stronger muscles and I am moving more gracefully to support my knee. He also sends a personalized video of the home exercises so it's easy to remember exactly how it was done and what muscles you should feel during the exercise. Now that my therapy has concluded I'm feeling much stronger, much better, and I am empowered with the knowing what muscles target (and WHY) as I keep move forward to become more active! This therapy worked! Definitely give this place a try. I also highly Gervin -- he is great and he really listens! read more

I was a patient of Peter's for one month before heading back home to MA. His knowledge of human anatomy and his expertise in choosing exercises targeting specific muscles resulted in less shoulder pain and more range of motion for me. Peter's easy-going nature, and sincere desire to help alleviate my pain made therapy such a pleasure. RISE Physical Therapy clearly hires excellent therapists, and in my estimation, Peter is the best! read more

Dr. Katie Hemphill is AWESOME! She's very knowledgeable in her field. She's patient and kind. She always has a smile on her face. I like Rise a lot. They don't just hand you over to a tech. You work with a trained physical therapist the whole time. They also email videos of the exercises that you do at home. The videos are of your personal PT's demonstrating the exercises. I highly recommend Rise. read more

Dr. Martin Nguyen is very personable and professional and will work on you 1 on 1 to give you the quality care needed!

Ciara and her fellow therapists have been taking care of me for the past year. My quality of life is substantially improved due to the treatment approach. I would not have made it to a father-daughter ski trip after a bicycle accident if it would not have been for Ciara's 'lets get you in shape so that you can safely go skiing' attitude. read more

Extremely satisfied with RISE Physical Therapy. I worked with Martin Nguyen at the Solana Beach location who helped me recover from excruciating lower back pain. In 9 sessions over the course of two months I went from debilitating pain back to normal conditions. Martin took the time to assess my condition, educate me about possible underlying issues and also understand my daily routines. He prescribed stretching and core strengthening exercises to be deployed at home. RISE accepted mu health insurance and the location has plenty of parking spaces. Great experience overall! read more

I contacted several physical therapy facilities due to my broken wrist. I was visiting the area from Delaware for 3 weeks and PT was ordered by my surgeon in order to progress to the next surgery upon my return home. I chose Rise because of the efficiency of receptionist, Glory who followed up immediately with 8 appointments, insurance forms , and other necessary paperwork. I arrived in CA , had all my PT appointments with Alina Wright. She is very professional and thorough. Every session was a 1:1 , punctual and very effective. I feel very fortunate that I chose Rise for my PT and strongly recommend it. read more

RISE physical therapy is truly a clinic that emphasizes patient centered care. Unlike many other PT clinics, patients get one FULL hour with a physical therapist. Treatments are specially tailored to the patient's personal concerns, needs, and goals! All the physical therapists are so knowledgeable and genuinely care for each and every patient. From the front desk to the students to the therapists, the patients experience a wonderful and nurturing atmosphere. I would highly recommend Rise Physical therapy! read more

The Solana Beach office was very convienent to visit and schedule my appointment. The scheduler was quick to answer the phone and very helpful in finding a time that worked for me. Gervin was just outstanding as a person and PT therapist. He listened and devised a set of exercises that were right for m me. He then sent them to me by video to perform at home. All in all, I could not be happier with the entire office. I haver been to another local Solana Beach PT office which does not even come close to the professionalism and treatment. Stephen K Sargeant MD FACP read more

My entire Rise Physical Therapy experience was excellent in 2020, which is saying a lot. From check-in to scheduling to, most importantly, the physical therapy itself, everything was professional and highly effective. Rotator cuff surgery requires high quality physical therapy and Rise is the place, period. Thanks Katie for all you did to help me after my early-in-year surgery! read more

I've been seeing Ciara for several months due to my recent meniscus/partial knee replacement surgery and also for some back pain. She is a great therapist for multiple reasons....she doesn't assume and always checks in first, she listens carefully and takes notes, then proceeds with a focused, efficient routine of physical massage/manipulation, stretching and strengthening in an order that is most beneficial. She is friendly, conversational and reassuring and is really good at answering all my questions. I think her personal athletic background and experience with injuries, surgeries and physical therapy allows her to genuinely relate to her client's needs. I highly recommend her!! read more

I recently injured my low back after playing several rounds of golf a few weekends ago. After asking my friends in the San Diego area, I was referred to RISE Physical Therapy. I was hesitant because I have experienced average physical therapy in the past, but I was pleasantly surprised with the one-on-one attention I received from therapist Michael! It was even better to hear that he is a golfer and also certified in golf rehabilitation. Perfect fit! After one session I had more confidence in my back and my golf swing, let alone less pain. I will be sure to recommend my friends and family to RISE! read more

Is it too late to win the lottery and buy a private jet to escort me to RISE once a week? This facility is phenomenal compared to the one I was assigned to back home in Houston. I tore my ACL during a skiing accident in January and had surgery in May. Did I make a mistake by traveling to San Diego a few months after? Maybe. But I don't regret it one bit. My trip was full of exploration, which entails a TON of walking. I didn't realize how hard it'd be on my leg. I was in a lot of pain, had to take frequent breaks, and I felt bad for everyone I was with because it slowed them down too. I managed to snag an appointment here during my short time in San Diego because I couldn't take the discomfort anymore. When you walk into RISE, you're greeted by friendly faces and a clean & organized facility. There was even a husky there who they say supervises the office! *CRIES* She is the cutest thing!!! Martin helped and educated me with some reconditioning exercises and deconditioning prevention. Let me tell you... He's extremely kind, patient, and understanding. I felt completely comfortable in his hands and had the utmost confidence in him. He even presented some really useful home exercises that I was never provided by my facility back home. I seriously wish I lived in San Diego so this could be my new permanent physical therapy spot. You will not be disappointed. Make that appointment and be amazed. read more

RISE is the best physical therapy clinic in the San Diego area. I recently moved to San Diego, and have been dealing with some long standing knee pain I get when I hike/run. I decided to go to RISE because of their rating on yelp and I am definitely glad I did. I worked with Dr. Justin Ternes so I could run a 10k I was training for without my knee stopping me. He was awesome!! Each session was a whole hour with Justin (instead of the 15-30 mins that I've experienced with other clinics) and he emailed videos with my exercises with instructions he gave me during my treatment session. I feel even stronger than I did before going to therapy. If you have any pains that are preventing you from doing what you want to do, I recommend Justin to help you get back to what you love without pain. If I ever have any issues in the future, I will definitely be going to RISE. read more

I was so lucky to have worked with Ling. Over the course of 12 sessions, I got stronger and stronger as a direct result of her care. She designed a PT program that fit my needs like a well-tailored suit. She asked good questions. She never seemed rushed. She kept her environs and clean and equipment well maintained. A large variety of equipment was at her fingertips to choose from. Big ups also go to Melanie at the front desk for great communication skills and problem solving. read more

I used RISE to rehab post-surgery, a left knee arthroplasty. Gervin, my physical therapist, was exception working on range of motion and proprioception. This review is bit over overdue, but provides me an opportunity to evaluate the quality of the PT after 1 year. I am happy to say my extension, flexion, strength, and balance are as good or better than prior to surgery; thus, allowing me to get back to living a full life in retirement. read more

Ever since having my first son 3 years ago I have had chronic back pain. I met Jacqualynn Gordon at RISE and she has changed my life. She is knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I always look forward to coming in and I have never felt better! read more

I always use RISE when I need PT. In a few words, they are knowledgeable, expert, kind, to summarize: great! Last time I had a nerve inflanmeted to my wrist, very annoying! Ling helped me, and in a few appointments, with massage, exercise, some homeworks and the right recommendations, she fixed my wrist! If you ever need PT, you definitely want to check them out! read more

Martin and Michael are the best specialists out there and will help you quickly overcome any injury. At Rise they do a fantastic job focusing on making sure to help you strengthen and move properly in order to prevent future injuries. The friendly and positive environment makes every appointment a great experience. I highly recommend Rise Physical Therapy!! read more

Navid is the man! After 4-5 doctors visits, inserts that didn't work, and a year and a half of pain, I am finally able to not just walk without pain, but RUN again! Plus - Chelsea (office manager) is super nice and accommodating. And if she knows you're a scatterbrain, she'll call you to remind you about your appointment! I saw Navid at a previous location for a hip injury several years ago, and when I injured my foot more recently, I followed him to RISE, and I'm so glad I did! RISE Physical Therapy is the BEST physical therapy office. I was diagnosed with a stress fracture by multiple doctors in fall of 2012, but after a year of "rest and rehabilitation" (while living in Peru), it was still getting worse. In some cases, I could hardly walk across the street! Doctors and therapists were stumped, but not Navid. Just a couple of trips to RISE Physical Therapy at the beginning of this year was enough to get me walking, hiking, and even running! Despite hundreds of road races and dozens of triathlons in my past, I'd thought my running days were over with this abnormal injury - until Navid's confidence and extensive PT knowledge guided me through my therapy and rehab. He deserves a great big ol' cookie! When I complete my first post-injury tri this fall, that's exactly what he's getting! read more

Just got done doing 6 weeks here at RISE physical therapy in Solana Beach. I had this impinged tendinitis feeling in my shoulder for a year and four months and nothing I did would help. I worked with William for just six weeks and the pain is all but gone. He took me through a ton of exercises and even sent me videos at the end of every session to keep me on track in between seeing him. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to get back to feeling great as soon as possible. Thank you RISE and thank you William! read more

I went in a few days ago, and I just have to say that Dr. Martin Nguyen is a wonderful physical therapist who is caring and compassionate of his patients. He is one of those DPT's that will take that extra step to make sure everything goes well when you are working with him. Highly recommend this place and most especially recommend being seen by Dr.Martin Nguyen! read more

their pricing is misleading (at best). when you call in for the quote they say $150, but it is actually what you will be paying out of pocket, NOT the actual price of them seeing you for a consultation.... which by the way nobody explained properly, so when i called and asked how much the initial consultation was, the answer was $150... i took that for the price of the visit (like any normal person would)... WRONG!!!! the bill sent to my insurance was $325+ and for what?!? 30 minute visit with a PT intern (it's a "teaching practice"). anyway, when i called for an explanation the billing manager got testy and outright rude with me... so... if you want to overpay for PT and then get verbally bitchslapped by their employees, please go there... otherwise, i would not recommend them to anyone... even those who i dislike! read more

I have been working with Jacqualynn at RISE in Solana Beach. She is a great therapist- working on a sciatic nerve problem as well as surgical scar massage and stretches and a problem wrist. She sends videos of the exercises so I can do modified versions at home. In the few weeks we've been working together, I have seen huge improvements, for which I am very grateful. Aaron, who runs the office is also outstanding and every person there is always so pleasant. I highly recommend both Jacqualynn and the entire operation at any RISE location. read more

I began working with Rachel at RISE after I got in a car accident. My neck and my back were in pretty bad shape. Rachel was patient and understanding and came up with a plan specifically for me to get back to my old self! RISE is special because they created personalized videos for me with the exercises I needed to do at home to be sure I was still making progress. I am now feeling 100% normal thanks to Rachel and he magic hands! read more

I've been working with Gervin on shoulder issues that stemmed from years of softball. I've received so much relief in just three weeks between therapy and home exercises he assigned. Thank you, Gervin, for your knowledge, professionalism and kindness! read more

My experience with Katie at RISE is terrific and highly beneficial. She is quite knowledgeable, patient and kind. Katie has helped me tremendously with muscle and periformis nerve issues that had reached painfully high levels. From the moment of my every arrival, front desk friendliness is followed by prompt attention and an hour of healing progress. read more

I had a difficult hip surgery that required at least four months of physical therapy, and I have had a great experience at Rise Physical Therapy. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful. They truly care about their clients and stay in contact with my doctor to report on my progress. I have worked with Martin and he has been very helpful in my recovery, giving me practical stretches and exercises that I can do on my own. When I go in to the facility he assists me with any problems that I've had the past week. I also appreciate that there are physical therapy students interning here and the extra help and guidance is always appreciated! This is the place to go for quality one on one care where you are treated as an individual. read more

Rachel and the entire staff here is absolutely amazing! They give you one on one attention and fully dedicate their attention to you, unlike other PT places where they are working with multiple clients and forget why you are there to begin with. They are thorough, passionate and dedicated to helping you heal. Highly recommend! read more

RISE physical therapy has been wonderful. The entire staff has been knowledgeable friendly and caring. Steve my primary therapist was exceptional. Rachel and josh were also excellent. I feel I have been helped very substantially with my back and leg problems. Would recommend them extremely highly. Aaron at the front desk also deserves kudos for friendliness and and efficiency ! Joe read more

Katie and the entire staff at RISE were great to work with. She is very knowledgable and also takes the time to listen to patient feedback and respond accordingly. Everyone is very friendly and the SB facility has comfortable work areas. They also email videos of the exercises covered for uses at home. I had a very good experience at RISE and highly recommend them. read more

I arrived at RISE after several frustrating weeks of no progress at another PT practice in the area. Having had no prior experience with PT, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I could tell the difference immediately. Michael Hollstegge was confident and assertive in his approach, gave me effective exercises to do at home, and the result was steady progress. I still have work to do but am so grateful for his skillful help in getting my shoulder moving and working again. I recommend him very highly and without reservation to anyone in need of PT. read more

Katie at Rise Physical Therapy is an excellent Therapist. She treated me for a neck and shoulder problem. Over the 6 week period, Katie created a therapy plan that was extremely effective and creative. Katie devised methods and movements specifically designed for resolving the issues I was experiencing. My main goal was to get back to the gym. So Katie taught me the correct movements to continue my workouts without re-injuring myself. She is extremely knowledgable and has the gift of communicating her knowledge in an understandable way. And she is so patient and will answer all of your questions. A definite 5 star experience! read more

Dr. Martin is great. So lucky that they are open during these COVID times. The environment is clean, sanitize, safe and no more than 5 people in the room. Dr. Martin's quality of therapy is even higher than the cleanliness of the facility as he is helping me with foot/ankle issues. read more
