    Acupuncture and cupping
    Rachel H.

    My bf has been having major muscle pain around the top area where the bones connect. At first we didn't know what to expect, but you definitely could tell this guy knew exsaclty what was causing the pain and knew how to fix it. I must say Chris was very hands on and went above and beyond to help!! He started with a massage, then continued with acupuncture, and finished with cupping. He truly is an ELITE in this field. Highly recommend coming in for any muscle pain!! You won't regret it, and definitely worth every dollar. (The pain has gotten better, will post an update after a few more sessions).

    After lifting furniture and pulling heavy rugs, I suffered from low back pain, shooting down my…read moreleg. For two months, I waited for the problem to dissipate, (unfortunately). 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.

    Thrive is the first place I recommend to anyone in San Diego looking to recover from an injury or…read moreimprove their physical health. I've worked with Dr. Aaron over the past two years to recover from ankle issues that doctors and surgeries were unable to help with. Dr. Aaron was able to identify the root of the problem and help me solve it where other doctors, surgeons, and physical therapists were unable. Where I once was unable to walk distances without pain, I am now able to able to return to all my favorite activities like hiking and pick-up basketball. I can't thank the team at Thrive enough.

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.

    Zero stars for lack of transparency…read more I explicitly asked for my out-of-pocket cost as a new patient with a high deductible and was told $90. Weeks later, I was billed an additional $81.98. When I questioned it, I was told the higher charge was because I was a new patient, something they already knew, and that the $90 was "just an estimate," which was never disclosed. This feels deceptive. Patients deserve honest pricing upfront, especially when paying entirely out of pocket. After multiple calls, broken promises to call back, and being told nothing could be done, I paid just to move on. Good treatment does not excuse misleading billing practices. I will never return.

    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 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.
