I have been going to RTA in Irvine for various injuries in 2015. I would never go anywhere else. Derek is so knowledgeable and I have never had an injury from which I haven't completely healed, and I am a dancer. I had two hip replacements and they kept me going for years before I decided to have surgery and made sure that my recovery was swift and completely 100% Effective. I go there once a week for maintenance and would never consider stopping. The therapists are all so professional and knowledgeable and the atmosphere is family like. If you need physical therapy, don't consider anywhere else. read more

Andrew and Brian have been extremely informative and helpful. Clear on exercises, changing it up as needed to offer a variety of strengthening options while also asking questions to ultimately meet my PT goals. Thanks so much RTA team! read more

Both Brian and Courtney are excellent. They provide the appropriate amount of support, challenge and encouragement to make the therapy sessions pleasant yet therapeutic. Exercises are explained and demonstrated effectively so they are both easy to understand and perform. I have already seen improvement in the 2 weeks since I started. I highly recommend RTA! read more

Sanam, the occupational therapist in this place is the Best. I only had an experience with her but by going there for four weeks and seeing other happy patients I'm sure they all are great. Thanks to RTA and Sanam. read more

Sanam, the Occupational Therapist at RTA Irvine, has been working with my husband on his hand strength this year after he lost all strength and dexterity in both hands last year and had neck surgery to fix the problem. It was so debilitating. She and the whole team here have helped my husband after surgery to regain his strength and hand function/dexterity. Sanam has given my husband his independence back. He is so much happier being able to do most of the things he used to do before this issue manifested. We still have more therapy we're doing with Sanam to get him back to 100%. We are forever grateful for all of hers and the whole team's help! We have come so far! Thank you RTA! Also special thanks to Paola for always being so nice, couteous, and helpful with booking/changing appointments and getting the prescriptions for therapy. Everyone here is always so nice and encouraging! read more

Simply best place for therapy they all care, knowledgeable and patient to keep working with you until the pain is gone. They are funny, friendly and respectful. They truly want to help unlike other places who give you exercise heat pads and send you home. i treated two areas with them the past two years highly recommended. read more

Terrible unprofessional receptionist! Rude and just a nasty person! I asked for her name and of course she wouldn't give it. Wouldn't recommend this place at all. Beware, you been warned! read more

I recently finished my PT at RTA for neck pain. It was my second time coming here for an injury/pain over the past few years. I worked with Michael and Damien and they are awesome. My neck feels so much stronger now as a result of the exercises and stretches they showed me. Front desk staff (Bob and Kristin) are always amazing and friendly too. They play good music, and it's a good vibe. If I need PT again I am 100% coming back to RTA. Definitely recommend them for your PT needs! read more

After a broken wrist bone earlier this year, I received occupational therapy at RTA. Sanam helped me gain strength and mobility so that I am good as new. Now I'm receiving therapy for my leg. Once again my therapist is very knowledgeable and was able to figure out the source of my problem. I am pleased to recommend RTA and I was happy to meet their friendly new receptionist, Paola. The staff seem t9 get along well and there is a positive energy. read more

What a wonderful group of employees they have there! Everyone is all very very nice! And my physical therapist is the bomb . Super smart, and knows what the hell she's doing ! Sanam Amini. read more

I just finished up my month and a half of treatment for a shoulder replacement with Brian. Brian is very professional and was able to help me restore my strength and flexibility in my left shoulder in only 6 treatments. I am now able to go back to the gym and start on a conservative weight lifting program. I would recommend Brian and RTA Physical Therapy to any of my friends or family that might need therapy read more

First time having PT. EXCELLENT experience. Professional and accommodating. More importantly, I felt relief of pain and had increased range of motion after my second session. I went for biceps tendinitis and rotator cuff syndrome. Diana was awesome. She was very knowledgeable. She explained everything she did and also which muscle was involved. Diana knew how to work with my vertigo and exercises were tailored to me. I also got home exercises to do that helped a lot. I was so impressed that she did "cupping" for me and knew how to help my tight muscles. I can not recommend them enough! read more

RTA has been amazing! From the first phone call they were able to schedule all of my appointments for my whole referral. Jessica is caring and has paid close attention to my needs and has helped me. I went to a different physical therapy office that I was disappointed with and made no improvement after several weeks. I switched to RTA hoping to a better experience and my expectations have been exceeded. My injury is healing faster now. The facility is very clean and organized. I highly recommend RTA. read more

When my doctor first suggested I go to physical therapy, I honestly dreaded the idea because I felt like I might not receive enough one on one attention. However, the physical therapists have exceeded my expectations! Malissa was my PT today and she was AMAZING! She had me working hard, to the point my legs were shaking! I love this because I know I pushed myself more than I thought I could today. She was so attentive, kind, understanding, and I felt like I could really be open and honest with her- and she listens! That's all I can ask for in a physical therapist. Joey and Jim have also been great, the physical therapists here are very easygoing and genuinely friendly. I love the atmosphere of this location, and I am so sad my sessions are soon coming to an end. Thank you RTA for helping me strengthen my muscles and find new ways to challenge myself. read more

I went to Derek's office recently for my daughter who has been in back pain for almost a year now. He has been an absolute lifesaver. With his expertise and attention to detail, he not only provided effective treatments but also made my daughter feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire process. I'm forever grateful for their exceptional care and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a skilled and caring physical therapist. read more

Fantastic staff, excellent physical therapists! I highly recommend RTA. They really take the time to explain exercises and stay on track of your progress. read more

I have suffered from various injuries over the years and sought physical therapy from many different offices all over the country to rehab injuries. Hands down RTA is one of the top places in the nation and in my opinion the best in Southern California. I came in with a hip and neck injuries I sustained from a rappelling and thanks to the staff at RTA I am on the road to recovery. Their knowledge and professionalism is unparalleled and their ability to make you feel like you are rehabilitating an injury with a friend only add to their ability to heal you. I highly recommend RTA to anyone looking for a place to rehab an injury and learn how to prevent one in the future. read more

I have had a lot of PT over my life and have seen plenty of bad PT offices and some good but none as good as RTA. I have had 3 sessions each time with 3 different therapists who have their own skills and experiences. I really like that and feels they are each adding to my rehabilitating process in their own way. I feel that my progress is much faster than any I have ever had because of their individual ways of approaching my situation. read more

Awesome group of Physical Therapists. Michael is a gem. After my upcoming shoulder surgery in December I am looking forward to working with them again read more

Sanam made my teenager daughter feel very comfortable while in therapy. She is very friendly. I would highly recommend this place read more

When they answered the phone I know my mother would be in Great hands. Jennifer was thorough, encouraging and confident that they could help my mother. I will review the treatments and report back. read more

Michael was extremely patient and open to listening to my issues. He adjusted our sessions based on how I felt. He made me feel heard, but also his recommendations helped to alleviate my pain and educate me on how each muscle group contributed to my pain. I can wholeheartedly say that I have made significant improvements in not only my physical health, but also how I will approach these issues in the future. He is also a great person to talk to and made the time fly by in every session. read more

Very professional , Very clean the people that work there are very nice and very knowledgeable ! I would definitely recommend this physical therapy Business read more

I'm having a very good experience @ RTA Physical Therapy after having a Reverse Total shoulder replacement. Jessica has a great sense for her patients injury and very professional touch. I highly recommend RTA Tustin. read more

Brian is helping me heal from lingering sciatica pain. He's also helping with my knee. He's kind and very helpful. Also, nice office staff. read more

Hands down RTA is the best out patient physical therapy in Irvine. I have been going there for a while and have been working with most of the therapists in RTA. You can not go wrong with any of them. I would recommend this place to everyone. Not only they work on your target area very well but also is a very friendly place. Every one is friendly and nice. Recently, I have been working with Dereck and he is the best. read more

My wife had a very bad experience with RTA they caused her great pain during therapy of a frozen shoulder and her neck hernia started to show as a result of wrong workouts and physical therapy exercises , the therapist was only keen of making more sessions to collect more money. The office refused to make a consultation appointment to evaluate the new case and charged my wife a full session for a few minutes talking to the therapist. read more

I just completed my first appointment with Laguna Hills RTA. it was the most thorough session I have ever experienced. I was correctly diagnosed & immediately received deep muscle work for my elevated pelvis. The numb toes began regaining feeling within 24 hours. I am very impressed with the focus & intensity of my therapist. read more

I have been receiving OT from Sanam for my recent injury. I have to say the service is excellent. The place is clean and neat. Lisa at the front desk goes above and beyond to help all who come in to RTA. Sanam is an excellent OT and went above and beyond to meet my needs, comfortable chairs, back support. positioning etc. Lisa noticed on my first visit that I was wearing a boot and offered ice for my ankle even though they were not treating that body part. I was amazed at the kindness and compassion of all of the staff. What a blessing it was to me to assist me through my healing process. Sanam speaks, Persian, english and spanish. Thank you for all you did to help me heal. read more

I came to RTA with a frozen shoulder. Sever tendentious and a tear that does not require surgery, but needed physical therapy. Unfortunately, I did not get to get in with them as quickly as I'd liked and If I canceled I'd lose those appointments...even after an appendix surgery, however this is not the fault of RTA but instead insurance issues and a pandemic that has greatly affected small businesses. So I made sure and made it to my appointments and the therapists I worked with have worked around my issues, I just have to show up and understand/accept they're cancellation policy. I've seen both Ella and the owner and if I follow the guidance and the home exercises they have given me my shoulder will continue to get better. The receptionist is new, very friendly and welcoming & I look forward to continuing my therapeutic journey with them, as they are respectful of my pain level and not hurrying me to push through it but rather work with it, and that I greatly appreciate!! read more

I was going here for a workmans comp injury on both my leg and shoulder. I had a total of 12 sessions I believe and aside from two times, I had Michael for the entire duration. That being said, they work as such a close knit team here and though the pt can be intense, the camaraderie and support from all is greatly appreciated. As soon as you walk in the office Paola greets you with her warm welcome smile and soon to follow all are saying hello. They seem not only like a family but a well oiled machine. The therapists all seem genuinely happy to be working there and helping all of us recover, kudos to the manager for this. I've never had pt prior but I'd say I felt like I was in very capable and knowledgeable hands. I would recommend this place and any of the team, but like I said Michael was my guy, and he is wonderful. Thank you for taking such great care of me and seeing me thru to my next step. Aloha read more

I have needed ongoing and intermittent physical therapy for many years but never quite felt satisfied with the care I received until I found RTA through a professional recommendation. I was recovering from a major surgery and needed extensive physical therapy. Derek, the owner, was amazing from our first meeting. He is kind, intelligent, and patient--always willing to explain things to me and even pull out an anatomy book to answer my questions about my injuries. I have been using RTA for over 10 years now, off and on, as I have the need, and wouldn't consider going anywhere else. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, I still feel safe going in to their office. They take safety and sanitation very seriously. I have referred many friends and even my own daughter uses them for physical therapy. Don't hesitate to give them a call and make an appointment. read more

Very rude and unprofessional, no equipment and never answering their phone. Racist as well.The moment she realized my mom does speak English fluently she started acting rude and not answering us. We told her we were lost because she didn't answer the phone and they didn't confirm our appointment and she replied with an "ok" read more

I have been here twice and really went to work feeling great. Unfortunately, the receptionist Lisa just kills any enthusiasm to go to them in my opinion. Extremely rude when I called to set up the appointment. Sent to me forms for my shoulder when in fact it is my lower extremities; and they are always booked, double-booked and she is just frankly RUDE. I would give this a 5-stars rating, but she just depresses making you feel like you shouldnt even go, even though you are in pain. Very disappointing. The other physical therapy places all know that you are suffering and try to make you feel better. Lisa is just untolerable and makes you feel worse. Sorry. Check other places; I will be telling my insurance company. Its really too bad because the physical therapists that worked on me were really really good! read more

Wow, this place is pretty awesome. They are very accommodating and great therapists. My husband is doing physical therapy but we're anxious to get started on Occupational therapy as well. The folks there are so nice. Derek is obviously an expert, I would recommend these folks! read more

Everyone in the office so accommodating and friendly. The therapist did a great job at working on my level yet still pushing me at the same time. They gave me many options of stretches and exercises to continue to do after my sessions which were all very helpful. I would highly recommend RTA for all your physical therapy needs. read more

I'm a former HS football basketball and track athlete that had to go through 2 acl injuries (same knee) post HS with the goal of still wanting to be athletic and play sports. I've been to 2 physical therapy centers. The first I thought would be amazing. It was a huge facility with a ton of people in it and lots of high tech equipment. The second was RTA. A small, no nonsense, workout space with a few PTs. At first glance RTA didn't have the hype of the first place but the differences were huge and 10x better in RTAs favor. At the big center the trainer would give me an exercise to do and then walk away and go talk to his PT friends since their were so many of them always standing around. I didn't feel myself getting stronger or better but I didn't know any better. At RTA not only did my PT, Jim, pay close attention to my body and movements (making me better mechanically in the process), but he would often times jump in me do them with me and his co worker, Derek, would be paying attention too. Today marks my 5 months out of surgery and I'm already much stronger and better than after my first surgery 5 months out and this is on the same knee! I'm looking forward to dunking again one day and I couldn't have gotten this knowledge and ability without RTA. Everybody should use rta for their PT but if you're an athlete it's a MUST. read more

Kudos to the team at RTA Physical Therapy for following COVID-19 guidance to maintain a safe environment for their patients. I just started working with Brian and he has done a great job at identifying my challenges and addressing them with exercises and massage. Even though I came to therapy to work on some back problems, Brian identified other issues with my shoulder and feet and is developing a therapy plan to restore better function to all my joints. read more

I highly recommend RTA physical therapy. Lisa was very helpful and accommodating to get me my appointments and making sure I am comfortable at the office being pregnant. The therapists are very knowledgeable, friendly and make sure you are doing your exercises properly. read more

RTA is the place to go if you need physical therapy the stuff is great and knowledgeable. Lisa was great with working with my schedule I work with Jensen an interim he was great and knowledgeable about his work and made sure that I walked out this place pain-free. He made sure that I would do all exercises correctly in a timely matter and took care of it to do his best. I recommend this place if you are ever in need of physical therapy in the south country. read more
