I cannot recommend Brendan highly enough. He helped me rehabilitate both of my feet following two bunionectomy surgeries, and his care made an incredible difference in my recovery. Beyond my feet, he has also treated my knee and neck/shoulder issues, always taking a comprehensive, whole-body approach rather than just addressing symptoms. Brendan is extremely knowledgeable and truly understands how to treat the root cause of pain and dysfunction. For example, he incorporated hip work into my treatment plan because he recognized how surgery impacted my overall biomechanics, something that made a huge difference in my long-term progress and stability. He is thoughtful, attentive, builds great rapport and genuinely invested in helping his patients heal and regain strength. I always felt confident in his clinical expertise and appreciated how he explained the "why" behind treatments and exercises. I also worked intermittently with Riley, who was excellent as well. He is professional, supportive, and highly skilled. I would highly recommend both of them to anyone looking for high-quality physical therapy and truly individualized care. read more

Brendan and Riley are the best PTs I've had. They focus on the problems I've had very well and help to loosen tight muscles and strengthen the weaknesses. Ive regained confidence in my daily movement and will be returning to activity soon in a faster timeline than I've expected. Very pleased with the results, attention and care I've been given read more

Thank you to the SoCal pt team for giving my life back . After a rock climbing accident a couple years ago I've tried everything to get rid of chronic shoulder pain. Having tried PT in the past and not having much success, my doctor told me I should try again. The treatment plan that Brendan and Riley created for me has truly changed my life and my outlook on a good physical therapy clinic. I appreciate you all! read more

For better or worse, I have been to a few physical therapy practices after joint surgeries. I told my most recent surgeon that I did not want to waste my time with physical therapists that did not push me to make me stronger. Brandon and Riley at SoCal Elite Physical Therapy in Costa Mesa have been terrific. They have been very respectful of the doctor's prescribed protocols, but when my muscle and joints were well healed after 16 weeks but really pushed me to build back my shoulder to where it should be. I leave my session a little tired and worn out, but I know that I have been pushed to get better. They have not used my age as an excuse to allow me to coast through my sessions. If you want to really get better, and will put in the time, this is the best practice I can recommend. read more

The team at socal elite has been amazing! Had a really bad shoulder injury from tennis - couldn't serve without severe pain. 10/10 would recommend Brendan. He really worked with me not just to fix my shoulder pain but even made tailored exercises to get me back into tennis again. I liked how the exercises were really practical, each session was one-on-one, it's not one of those places where they just hand you a sheet of exercises and check on you every 10 minutes. He was there checking my form and making sure to tailor different exercises for each week to help me get better and even gave me specific exercises to do on court. Definitely make sure you ask for Brendan when you book (he's the guy who looks like a firefighter - sorry ladies he's taken). He is amazing, I credit my recovery to him! read more

Brandan and Riley are the most amazing PTs I've ever had! The follow up from them and care is next level. They listen to what I tell them is hurting. Best experience ever! read more

Most amazing PTs ever. Seriously. Riley and Brendan are exceptionally knowledgeable, talented, and listen to patients. 100% recommend.

I have been to a few different PT locations in the past few years and SoCal Elite has been the best location for me by far! Brendan is very knowledgeable and explains how certain movements/exercises impact the body instead of just mindlessly throwing exercises at you. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a PT in the OC area! read more

I can't say enough good things about Brendan! he's been incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and truly invested in my recovery. he always takes the time to explain each exercise, why i'm doing it, what muscles it's targeting, and how it's helping me get better. which is very appreciated and made it so easy to trust the process. he's kind, positive, and if you're looking for someone who truly knows what they're doing and cares about their patients, I highly recommend him! read more

Brendan is an exceptional physical therapist who truly goes above and beyond for his patients. His knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine care made a huge difference in my recovery. read more

I have nothing but praise for Dr. Riley Kerr and his team! After 5 visits, these are my impressions: - professional, knowledgeable PT staff that *actually* listens and adjusts treatment accordingly - supervised strength training (as opposed to "do this, see you in 15 minutes") - periodic re-evaluations and measurement taking to ensure treatment course is appropriate - a positive atmosphere - friendly front desk staff - clean, spacious facilities - plenty of parking spots (go all of the way to the back of the building and make a left) My story: I have been to many PT facilities over the years for myself and family members, and this is by far the best experience. I arrived with so much chronic pain that I actually laughed a little when Riley asked what my goals were. At the time, they were small in comparison to what they are today. I had spent months in pain and thousands of dollars out of pocket with no significant relief. I honestly had given up hope, but after the immediate relief his targeted treatment provided me with, I started to consider the possibility of "going back to normal," which in my case was a very active lifestyle that included running, mat Pilates, barre, yoga, and HIIT. Now with every session, I feel much better and cannot thank them enough for their help. If you are in pain or dealing with an injury, stop by! read more

SoCal Elite Physical Therapy - Shared facilities - Physical Therapy Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I have been working with Ross for the past year, and I followed him from another PT office to this one because he is so good to work with. I'm not sure I have ever experienced physical therapy with someone who is so bought into me and my success. In each of my sessions, Ross spends time listening, understanding where I am and he works from there to help me make progress. I've experienced other PT offices who feel routine, but it is never routine working with Ross, his knowledge, care and attention to detail are above and beyond and leave me feeling like we are doing the right things to help me heal. All of the staff and other Physical Therapists I have experienced at SoCal Elite have been great to work with as well. I can without any hesitation recommend Ross and SoCal Elite as a place to heal and recover. read more

Think of Jacques from finding Nemo. Dr. Ethan is unparalleled in his excitement to treat his patients as his knowledge and zeal to help them improve. Post surgery for a broken clavicle. He is just the perfect fit for our family and our patient. Broken in 4 places. Sandwiched between two plates with 12-15 screws plus a lag bolt. We're 2 months out and progressing steadily. Couldn't be happier with him and his treatment plan or his ability to use his network to meet our needs with a referral to a new PT as we are leaving the state. Excellent character and service. Wouldn't hesitate to come back or refer him to any friends, family or pretty much anyone in need of an excellent PT. Oh best part!!! You ONLY see Dr. Ethan. You don't see an assistant. He's hands on and attentive. read more

I got a lot of help from all the appointments in the past two months. I learned how to relax and strengthen muscles that I never know they needed. Strongly recommended this place if anyone ever needs help. read more

I have been to many, many PT and Chiro's over the past 15 years post back surgery. None come even remotely close to the quality of this groups Ethan, the PT stays with you the entire time. This guy is the real deal, total brainiac when it comes to physical movement and where the issues may reside. Do yourself a favor, ask for Ethan. Professional, wildly knowledgeable, and the most helpful person you will ever meet. Dave Ahern, Orange, CA read more

I was assigned SoCal Elite for an occupational injury and was very delighted to find such a clean, chill, and friendly environment to recover. The staff was always pleasant and the receptionists would always greet me by name when I would arrive for every session. My OT, Ilene, was patient, knowledgeable, and very positive. I'm very appreciative of all the hard work she put into "fixing" me up! I will definitely come back to this location if I ever need to seek recovery from injury again. read more

Coming here has been one of the best things I've done for my health and body! Avonlea has helped me reduce and manage persistent lower back pain. The exercises and stretches I've learned have drastically improved my back. Parking and check in are always easy too which is a bonus! read more

Avonlea, Montana, and the rest of the SoCal Elite team are amazing. They truly do put their time and effort into maximizing your recovery. I am really blessed to have amazing therapists helping me in my road to recovery. For any issue, whether it's injury or work related, they have you covered. read more

SoCal Elite Physical Therapy has been the best place for improving my back and knee pain! Avonlea and Jamil have been so incredibly helpful and have made my time here a lot of fun. I'm grateful for all the tips and unique exercises that have helped me return to running, weightlifting, dancing, etc. Audrey and Sami at the front desk are such delightful and helpful girls as well! Such a fun and friendly environment to receive quality care! :) read more

I came in with shoulder pain while bench pressing and surfing, and debilitating knee pain on my squat. Less than a year later, Rylie has me back at 100% and doing what I love, stronger than ever and pain free. He's brilliant at his craft and every session feels like hanging out with an old friend. I wish I'd started sooner! read more

I have been dealing with shoulder pain after a rotator cuff tear, labra tear and bicep tenodesis surgery. Have been to many hours of rehab and they all seemed to have the same opinion of just exercising the shoulder. Needless to say I have had very little pain relief after three years since having the surgery. My physician ordered another MRI and I was considering going back plunder the knife to find some relief. It was recommended to me that I give SoCal Elite a shot as they have a different approach to rehab. I was very skeptical as I have been to many rehab clinics who work with professional athletes to no avail. I called SoCal elite and had a couple of conversations with the staff and they understood my skepticism with previous rehabilitation so they suggested I work with Ethan. Ethan went over my symptoms and felt the issue was not my shoulder but mainly a result of my neck and posture. These factors were causing my shoulder pain. Fast forward 3 months and I am no longer waking up a few times a night with shoulder pain. The tightness in my neck and shoulder is much improved. I can't recommend Ethan any more. I cant recommend Ethan enough. He made such a difference in my daily life. I won't say I'm cured just yet but we'll on my way. read more

I saw Avonlea Brown for Chronic Sciatica Pain, She is WONDERFUL. Extremely knowledgeable as well as empathetic. If I could possibly give her 10 stars, I absolutely would! read more

Been getting work done here for the past year or two for my ongoing pec issues and every time I leave feeling great! I do powerlifting style training so i train pretty heavy often and they've done great helping me stay healthy! If you're in the need for a good PT definitely check them out! read more

I broke my ankle playing hockey and had surgery in August 2022, then started my physical therapy in early October. I've received excellent treatment from the whole SoCal Elite team at this Newport Beach location, everyone there is great! They know exactly how hard to push to get the best results. I've made so much progress, more than I expected and it's all thanks to their great care. They're also a very fun and friendly group, so the sessions are always a good time! If you're looking for great care, look no further. I highly recommend SoCal Elite if you're in need of physical therapy for any type of injury. read more

I've been coming here for the last couple months and I'm always happy with the care I receive from the moment I walk in. The front desk staff is always kind and helpful, and the therapists are very knowledgeable and attentive to my needs each time. I've been dealing with multiple injuries, and I leave each session feeling so much better. I highly recommend the team here! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Jeff Truong, Dr. Riley Kerr, and their team for a few months now and I've seen amazing results. Both are professional, knowledgeable, and personal with their practice. They take the time to listen and adjust the types of treatment they perform to personalize it towards your goal during your time there. This past month I have felt stronger and more confident in playing the sports I love thanks to their personalized treatment. read more

I've been coming to Ethan for about 2 months now and let me tell u , I'm so grateful I did because back on September 15th 2020 I unfortunately hurt my lower back really bad to the point that I couldn't stand tall or walk / move around cause I was in so much pain. But since I've been coming to Physical Therapy with Ethan I've been able to be back to 100% more mobility, movement in my lower back with so many great workouts/exercises to loosen he muscles/nerves . I'm super grateful and a huge thanks for SoCal Elite for getting me back into working out, I feel like a new man. read more

Ethan is amazing so knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. I've been to several PTs and never met someone as knowledgeable as Ethan. After just a few sessions I was shocked to see my mobility and range of motion improve so much. read more

Excellent team, professional yet friendly. If you're leading up to a meet (or any major game for a sport) could not recommend enough that you pay a visit. read more

I was referred to Ethan Warner by my Orthopedist: " not all PT is equal, I'm sending you to the Rolls Royce of PT." I have a complete rotator cuff tear. After working with Ethan for 8 weeks, my doctor determined I don't need surgery. His hands on methods are unlike any I had experienced before. He is the most knowledgable PT and the results have been amazing! read more

SCEPT is a fantastic organization run by very professional and knowledgeable people! I've had a very serious nagging shoulder injury which prevented me from powerlifting, but a few sessions with Dr. Jeff Truong and I was right back at it. It was a great mix of personal consultation, him showing me various remedial stretches/exercises, and a thorough massage of the area. Highly recommend anyone to get in touch, regardless of the sport or injury! read more

I had an extensive hand surgery. That was quite a bit more painful and debilitating than I thought it would be. I wasn't even planning on going to therapy for it this time. Because I had a bad experience with physical therapy when I had an injury years ago. So, I ended up not going until problems developed. I wished I had gone immediately. I worked with Dawn Tran. She was very personable and knowledgeable. A true professional. She got me on a great course of treatments and exercises. My hand quickly improved and started to heal nicely. I was actually sorry to have the treatments end and have to say goodbye to Dawn. read more
