Finally i made an appointment with Dr. Aaron Snyder and was very thoroughly evaluated. My recovery was based on strengthening areas of my body which for years even as a yogi were not utilized correctly, and overcompensated for with other areas. It was brought to my attention that my core needed improvement to protect my back. After each session I was provided specific exercises, and these exercises were cumulative and more were added as I progressed. It was also brought to my attention slight changes to my walking style, and the goals established were not just short term recovery, and injury prevention, but also long term body sustainability. It has been six weeks of absolutely no return of any previous issues, and I am continuing the exercise routine at home. This has brought awareness to my areas of weakness, corrected it, and in fact I feel I am stronger. As a middle age person, I feel unconditionally that Dr. Aaron's diagnosis and recommendations will enable me to age better in the future. Anyone who is questioning a functionality with their body would be well advised to consult with Thrive, and determine if the concern can be corrected.

They are without a doubt the best physical therapy provider in San Diego county, California, the west coast, and definitely the country. I've been a client since June 2007 when I re-injured my surgically repaired knee a year post surgery. I worked nearby and it came up on the list. I was mostly excited for the location. Once I had my first appointment I knew I had found the perfect medical care professionals. Their treatments are whole body with an emphasis on full mobility. They don't just look at the affected area without considering how it's affecting your walk, stance, sitting, and daily life. I've worked with many of the PTs over the years but have maintained a relationship with one of my original therapist who has helped me through a plethora of issues, injuries, and surgery. I can't recommend them enough and have recommended them to many people. Thank you, RU for giving a darn about your patients and their wellbeing.

The exercise to do at home I first thought wow... only one and a 15minute. Today another one was given, I realize on my previous therapist from others ..

The way up is down, start slow avoid further injury and do em right. With too much exercise at home... it become a struggle and not fun to do, I can see myself running again in the future with this kind of treatment. Additionally, Dr Walker is very personable and relational. You will not be disappointed under his care.

I waited far too long before starting PT, mostly hoping my injuries would resolve on their own and…read morebecause I hadn't had great results with PT in the past. I was dealing with chronic hip and back pain on one side of my body from multiple sports injuries. Pain ranged from a 5-8 and made sleep and daily life difficult. Before Pro+Kinetix, I tried traditional PT and chiropractic work. PT felt outdated and boring, and chiropractic care was more of a temporary fix. I found Pro+Kinetix through Instagram and the scheduling process was smooth from the start. I chose them because they clearly focus on active individuals who want to get back to performing at a high level. Working with Kyle has been a completely different experience. He is highly educated but also very active himself, which gave me confidence right away. The program was personalized, he listened to my feedback, and he kept me accountable. The staff and overall experience are top notch. Even Buddy, their mascot and director of morale, adds to the environment. Now my pain is almost nonexistent. It's down to a 1-2 at worst; after long, sedentary days, which would have been unbearable before. This is not your average PT office. It's by far the best experience I've had, with the best results. Thank you Kyle!

1) How long did you wait before making the decision? I…read morewaited a few months after my most recent injury before deciding to seek physical therapy. Why wait that long and what was the obstacle? I waited a few months because I had previous PT treatments for the same injury and I thought that doing the same exercises would help more than they actually did. After a few months my pain and mobility did recover but not as much as I'd hoped. 2) About particular problem...what was it and how was it before you came to see us? I had strained my back a handful of times over the past decade, with symptoms increasing in intensity & frequency over time. At first, the symptoms were limited to pain with certain movements/weight. With each instance, the pain increased, the range of motion became more limited and stiffness felt practically constant. 3) What else did you try that didn't work? Mainly repeat the exercies I had been shown in previous PT treatments. Applying some heat would help with symptoms but I still needed to address the root of the problem. 4) What was the main reason you chose Pro+Kinetix? I decided to try Pro+Kinetix because their experience working with athletes so I signed up for an evaluation. I was impressed with the attention to detail of the tests because they were specific to the symptoms I'd described to Dr. Amos. For example, I had mentioned numnbess in my feet, specifically toes and she performed a capillary reflow test to gauge the severity of the symptoms. Another aspect that convinced me to go with PK is the explanation of the cause of the symptoms since this helps me understand the mechanics of the human anatomy. As a result, I understood why certain exercises would alleviate symptoms. 5) What did your physical therapist teach you at Pro+kinetix that you can't get anywhere else? Dr. Amos didn't just teach me which exercises to incorporate into my program but went beyond to teach me about how habits & lifestyle can affect and exacerbate the symptoms. 6) What did you experience as a patient at Pro+Kinetix? I experience attention to detail of my symptoms like I haven't before. If there was any exercise that created discomfort or pain, Dr. Amos would suggest a variation of that exercise that would work much better for me. Again, the diagnostic test performed in my evaluation as well as folowing sessions is what really imppressed me. 7) Since you came to see us, what impact have have we had on your quality of life? By the end of my treatment with PT, I'd made more progress than I had anticipated. I felt stronger in parts where I was weak and unstable, and even felt a mind-muscle connection in muscles I had rarely, if ever, constracted in my life. 8) What would you say to someone skeptical about physical therapy? Just do it & believe in the process. -Luis

I have to agree with other reviewers that the front office and scheduling process could use…read moresignificant improvement. I initially tried calling multiple times, left voicemails, and even submitted the online contact form, but never received a response. After getting no reply, I decided to stop by in person. Unfortunately, my interaction at the front desk was not a positive one. Rather than acknowledging the possibility that my messages may not have been received or returned, the receptionist seemed more focused on questioning whether I had called the correct number, whether I had left a message, and whether I had only called that same day. I repeatedly explained that I had contacted the office multiple times through different methods, but I felt like my concerns were being dismissed rather than addressed. Because so much of the conversation was focused on questioning whether I had actually tried to contact the office, I eventually told her that I had even stood outside the office and called while she was inside, and the phone still was not answered. At that point, it was clear that I was spending more time trying to prove that I had attempted to make contact than discussing how to schedule an appointment. What stood out most was the lack of accountability and customer service. When someone takes the time to call, leave messages, submit an online form, and then physically come into the office, the response should be to help solve the problem not to make the person feel as though they need to prove they attempted to make contact. In the end, the difficulty I experienced just trying to schedule an appointment made me decide to look elsewhere. If the scheduling process is this challenging before becoming a patient, it did not give me confidence in what the overall experience would be like. The front admin need corrective training because this seems to be an on going issue. Adding a photo of the times I called since it's clear the staff was heavily focused on whether or not I did try to contact them more than once.

I got the phone call and immediately got up to leave but was told by the front desk I needed to pay for my appt, zero sympathy or concern. I paid politely just needing to get out of there asap. Today I showed up 12min late to my appt and the PT assistant wouldn't see me. I asked if I could be refunded for last appt because of what happened to my son and me needing to leave after 10min of being seen. The man at the front desk could have cared less about any of this and just gave me a number to call. People are human and there is no room for it at PRN, they are rigid and have zero grace. I've also overheard the front desk talking about people they are annoyed with there. Also, there is zero free parking. The whole thing is just a big pain in the butt if you are required to be seen by PT more than once a week. It's a shame for the main PT there because he seemed very knowledgeable and hard working.
