Got a free 20 min session at my gym and the workers were nice, thorough and seemed very experienced and knowledgeable. Considering visiting them for a full session in the future!
Had an awesome experience with Miro - he got my aching tennis elbow pain and lower back tightness to loosen up within 15 minutes and was really kind and knowledgeable.
These guys are awesome! I woke with terrible neck pain (not the first time) the day before my vacation (speafishing trip) and rushed to a random PT location I found online. So lucky that I found this company! In no time Jeremy evaluated my issue, and done his magic - the pain gone almost instantly I feel nice and relaxed now and ready for my flight!

Healed the pulled muscle in my neck during just one brief session. He has miracle hands!
Jeremy was great with my cupping session! Great information, great conversation! Really listened to my needs! Go check them out ASAP!

Julianne is excellent for sports injuries and muscle imbalances
I started going to Dr. Myro with the goal of improving my knees, since I have always had pain. By the end of my initial package we had ended up working not only on my knees, but also my ankles, neck, wrist, sciatica, and lower back. Through the entire process he was very informative, always gave me a realistic exercise or stretch to mix into my lifestyle, and showed genuine support for helping me... More

Highly recommend them for their outstanding care. Dr. O is very competent and comprehensive, sincerely committed to bringing a thorough approach to client care. The staff is unbelievably great at what they do. Would definitely recommend them to anyone. Don’t hesitate to go see them.
When I first came to APTW, I was in pain 24 seven from a serious shoulder injury. my trainer quickly pinpointed the problem and then worked through a series of exercises with me personally. It was great not being limited to a 15 minute slot. He also gave me custom videos to take home with me so that I could do my exercises at home. Within a few weeks I was pain-free.

Owen did an awesome job for my first time cupping! Spent the time explaining how it works and how it can help me for my various issues. Highly recommend!
They are very hands on and very accommodating. Highly recommended.
I scheduled an appointment for a mini cupping session, for the day after a 15k race. I have ankle problems and my legs were going to need a little extra TLC.

I scheduled an appointment for a mini cupping session, for the day after a 15k race. I have ankle problems and my legs were going to need a little extra TLC. The clinic was easy to find despite being in a business park, thanks to their proactive communication and instructions with pictures. There was plenty of parking, though I did have an 8am Appointment on a Monday morning. Appointment started on time, the team was attentive and listened to what my concerns were and what I wanted to focus on. By the end of my 30 minute appointment, I significantly felt better -- better range of motion and more relaxed in those muscles that were feeling stuff and achy from my race. Two days after my race, I was expecting the typical delayed onset muscle soreness. However, I woke up feeling pretty good... Even the body parts that are usually angry with me post-races was less tender than usual! The team is a pleasure to work with. The owner, Owen, is great, with amazing energy. Highly recommended checking them out! Less
Had a great time and found relief immediately after therapy. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much to Dr. Julianne and the team. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her to recover from a strained low back muscle. She listened to my concerns, valued my priorities, and made it evident that she cared and wanted to help. I recommend her and Advanced Physical Therapy & Wellness!
Tried a free mini cupping session today with Jeremy and I feel great In just a few minutes my range of motion significantly improved! Definitely recommend Jeremy!
Great initial cupping and diagnostic mini session!
When other PTs failed to remedy my lower back pain, Advanced Physical Therapy got me back in the gym after 3 weeks. Been going strong ever since!! Multiple modalities of therapy are used based on your body and your needs. Highly recommended!

After experiencing severe hip pain and immobility for three days, I was fortunate to have been seen by one of their PTs who quickly assessed my situation and got me back on my feet within just 20 minutes. Their ability to identify the issue and provide immediate relief was truly remarkable. Not only did the PT alleviate my pain, but they also equipped me with personalized exercises to strengthen different muscle groups, ensuring that I can prevent future occurrences. Their dedication to empowering patients with tools for long-term recovery is truly commendable. The entire staff exudes professionalism, compassion, and expertise. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of physical therapy. Thank you for getting me back to living pain-free! Less

After one cupping session on my neck with Dr Julianne I could turn my head without pain. After a few weeks the numbness subsided and after 3.5 months I’m now back to working out and getting stronger. I have a long way to go but this is the best I have felt in years. Thank you thank you thank you to Dr Owen and his team. I am forever grateful. Less
Both my wife and I are extremely pleased with the professionalism, personal attention, and most importantly, results from our sessions. We highly recommend Advances Physical Therapy.
Amazing staff, professional, informative, great services and highly recommended!
Myro is great! He is professional and quickly found my aches and pains and had solutions for helping them heal. Highly recommend!
Julianne is amazing! In one session she was able to help me from partial to full range of motion and helped alleviate numbness and tingling in my hand! After a couple months of PT I feel so much better and am very thankful for Julianne. Thank you!!!!
Great people and great insights into pelvic floor, where I need the most help!
Beyond grateful for these peeps! Had a hamstring pull and in 5 weeks was back into full training. Not only did they customize my care, but also helped outside the pt office! Plus the fresh coffee every appointment was nice😂
Myro took the extra time to work on my pain areas. HE was super understanding and know exactly what he was talking about in a way that I hadn’t heard any other PT I’ve gone before. He gave some great “next steps”. Highly recommend
Dr. Julianne assisted me today with some stiffness on my left side which occurs frequently ever since I was in a car accident two years ago.

I met Dr Jeremy and his your colleague when I injured my lower back. I couldn’t walk, each small step put me in terrible pain. After first session I felt relief. Second session, more painful but I left the place with a smile and super happy! It’s the best place you can choose!
Dr. Myro is fantastic. Would definitely recommend checking out this PT practice for an assessment, even if you don't have an injury or particular concerns!
Myro was very knowledgeable and made me feel so much better on my session.
The Advanced Physical Therapy and Wellness team was exceptional in their knowledge, physical therapy skills and educational feedback! They've created a safe, family-like atmosphere, and I recommend them highly!

Every appointment I tell Dr. Myro where it hurts and what areas have been bothering me, and he gets right to the root causes of all my pain. He uses stretching, massage, flossing, and cupping techniques and gives me exercises to do for in between appointments. I especially like how he videos me doing the exercises and has a voice over and adds text detail so I remember how to do them properly in between visits. I am very satisfied with their care. Less

So thankful I found the team at Advanced Physical Therapy & Wellness, they have totally changed my perception of what physical therapy is and what the experience should be like. I'm 42 years old and as someone who has spent hundreds of hours in physical therapy for hip and low back problems over the last 25 years, my experience with Advanced Physical Therapy & Wellness has been unlike any other. In January of 2023 I injured my hip and began the insurance-based medical care system loop of primary visit, imaging, back to primary, back to imaging, out to see a specialist. After 11 months and no progress, I was defeated and felt as though living in a persistent state of pain was going to be my new normal, often waking up 5-6 times throughout the night experiencing pain on the scope of 7 or 8 out of 10. The only options I was given were regular injections or exploratory surgery to see what they could find. I was referred to Advanced Physical Therapy & Wellness by a friend that likewise trains with CrossFit, noting their specialty in working with athletes that have had similar injuries and experiences to mine, this was a last ditch effort for me. The experience has been a game changer, the hour-long sessions have provided a wealth of relief, improvement (both physically and mentally), and education. The 1-hour long sessions include getting familiar with my symptoms and possible causes, therapy (mobilizing, cupping, percussion work, blood-flow restriction, nerve flossing & release, and others), detailed descriptions and videos of homework exercises, and time for in-depth questions about my specific concerns and observations. Before starting at APT&W I was regularly experiencing 6-7/10 pain during the day (Hip, SI, and lower leg) and 7-8/10 at night. After my first 8 sessions, I have experienced a significant reduction in daytime pain (almost none in lower leg and only about 3/10 in Hip/low back) and I have been sleeping better than I have in the last 12-18 months. There have actually been several days in the last few weeks that I have forgotten to take my pain meds since the chronic pain has reduced. So thankful to the team (especially Dr Julianne) for the reflief, hope, and education they've given me. I feel like I have taken control back of my body and life and can't say thanks enough for the experience. Less
Met Dr. Julianne at F45 class and she quickly helped my knee mobility while giving me exercises to improve it over time
Dr Julianne is super knowledgeable and passionate about what she does, I already feel better in just 15 minutes thank you:)
It was so great being trained during a handstand clinic! I learned so much. Thank you!
Met these guys at an event at Functional Republic in Chula Vista; Myro did a great job wrapping my sprained ankle. Everyone was friendly & informative. Thank you so much!
Helped my ankle after spraining it!! Owen gave great advice on how to heal it and was thorough in explaining the interventions he used. Would recommend :)

So glad I found Advanced Physical Therapy & Wellness. All the Physical Therapists here are so nice, they listen and are AWESOME. A little background (I know you can relate): I hurt my lower back about 5 years ago, over-working my body through exercise and sitting at a desk at work. I continuously hurt (8 out of 10 pain), especially during workouts and getting out of bed. I even had trouble putting on pants and shoes because just bending over hurt. Through those 5 years, I went through PT through a local hospital, massage, cryotherapy, and acupuncture. All those felt like bandaids…felt good for a few days and then pain just came back. Advanced Physical Therapy & Wellness is a game changer for my back and body. During my initial session, they pin-pointed the issues causing my back problems and came up with an individualized plan for ME. Most of my back issues they found came from my tight calves trapping my nerves, hip flexor tightness and my lack of internal rotation of my legs. I learned so much about my back and body, just during that first session. I signed up for 10 sessions and it was well worth it. During an hour session, we discussed my current issues and then they worked on my body (stretch, massage, cupping, floss nerves, etc). The last 15 minutes of the session they would teach me 2-3 exercise/stretches for me to work on at home. Before seeing Advanced Physical Therapy & Wellness, I couldn’t do weighted squats. Squats just really hurt my back and ruined the rest of my exercise routine for the day. After seeing this PT Team, I CAN DO squats again. Yahoo! Does my back still hurt? Yes, but not nearly as bad (maybe a 2 out of 10 after a heavy leg-day workout). And my back doesn’t hurt at all getting out of bed in the morning. I now have the tools (stretches, foam/ball rolling, nerve flossing, exercises) and education to self heal my back. Thank you soooo much! Less
Very knowledgeable. Helped my shoulder.
Advanced Physical Therapy did a great job working on me at the Festivus games. I would definitely recommend them!
These guys hooked me up! I sprained my wrists a couple weeks before a CrossFit competition. They were on site the day of the competition and gave my wrists a thorough check up and tape job. They honestly felt better than new and it was obvious that these guys knew what they were doing. I'll be back to have then check out my entire body next.
Awesome!!! They are very knowledgeable and great at what they do. Had knee pain for over a year, and after 1 session started feeling better
Advanced Physical Therapy & Wellness has an amazing PT team. I highly recommend this place to anyone for your physical therapy needs.
Dr. Owen and his team are absolutely amazing!! They have helped me with my pain significantly and are a wealth of knowledge! I highly recommend working with their team!!
I came in to get help with a hamstring injury. I met with Dr. Myro, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. After about 2 months of doing the exercises he showed me, I went from feeling pain every time I tried to run to being able to gently jog a mile without any issues. I'm becoming more and more of a fan of physical therapy. Thank you!
Owen is the best physical therapist I have ever met! I trusted him to help my mom with her chronic low back pain. Her low back pain was significantly reduced after her first session, and he clearly communicated the realistic steps for her to maintain long lasting relief. I'am very grateful for his compassion, authenticity, and dedication to his craft.
After going to Kaiser Physical Therapy for a few appointments I was told I need to get risers in my shoes because one of my legs is shorter than the other. Then I found Dr Owen and Advanced Physical Therapy, I had no idea that PT is the complete opposite of what I had been experiencing. I appreciate what you do and highly recommend their team and services!
Got a treatment from Advanced PT & Wellness. I had bad neck pain from BJJ. My first treatment was extremely effective. Staff is top notch, super friendly, professional, and great at what they do. Can't wait for my next treatment!
Had big problems with my knee, Dr Owen saved me. I can now go up and down the stairs after my granddaughters Thank you Dr Owen🤗
Cupping me feels good! Knots melt away
Amazing!
Immediate pain relief and improved range of motion from just 5 minutes of floss!
I have really tense shoulders and this relieved me of some tension! :)
Dr. Owen was not only on point in targeting my knee pain & tight quads, but he was also very informative in explaining through the why behind my pain. His approachability and kindness pairs well with his expertise! I would reccomend strongly to any athlete in the San Diego area!
My neck was bugging me at a competition and had Advance Physical Therapy work on it and after some cupping and a massage, it feels so much better. All the pain is gone. He’s great at what he does. I will be swing him again.

Hands Down the best physical therapist in Sorrento Valley or San Diego!! Highly recommend
Dr. Myro and the team are as nice as they come. I developed De Quervain's Tenosynovitis in both of my wrists, and he taught me a lot of exercises to treat this condition. Their facility is really nice and welcoming, and I will be going back if I need any follow up work done!
This was my second time using Dr Owen and his crew at Advanced Physical Therapy! I couldn't recommend them enough! His knowledge and experience helped me a lot in two very complicated injuries I had from decades of playing soccer. They're very professional and I will sure come back again next time the body gives out!

I had a great experience at Advanced PT! All of the staff is super welcoming, helpful and nice. I went in with lots of question and frustration surrounding my pain and injury and after my session I felt a lot better about what I needed to do to ease the pain. After just one visit I was in a lot less pain too.

But Dr. Owen, Dr. Myro, Dr. Alli & Dr. Jen are just the best! They are intentional with getting you back onto your road to recovery. I showed up for a bum shoulder injury, and they all have a sense of wanting to get you back into the gym. None of this "just rest up and you'll be healed" junk. They spend intentional time listening to what you're going through, they test different ways to help you get better, and they utilize different massaging/cupping/stretching methods to get you there. I HIGHLY recommend - and my shoulder is feeling great! They also explained some crazy mumbo jumbo about how everything's connected (neck/shoulder/arm/back, etc) but I couldn't remember enough to repeat it... The entire team also learns from each other - trying out different mobility tests and utilizing different exercises. This team rocks. Worth every penny. Less
Great core stabilization workshop. They really took the time to explain everything and maintained a personal touch.

Doctor Owen works wonders! I was fighting a nagging shoulder injury for 2 years and thanks to his tips and tricks I'm feeling back to my old self again.
Awesome people, wonderful service! Ali is super awesome, very knowledgeable, and fixed my back right up! Highly Recommend!!
This place is the BeezKneez! The team is incredible. On my first consultation visit I showed up and they had a sign welcoming me stating they were going to take me to "over 9000!!!!!!" Love the vibe and DBZ reference. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and fixed me up after a couple of sessions.
I am so thankful for the help I have received from Dr. O. I had tweaked my knee in an exercise class, and the orthopedic Dr I saw had no answer for my pain but arthritis meds and no activity other than swimming. I'm very active, I play volleyball, run, do HIIT classes, hike, rock climb, etc. So that answer didn't work for me. In a few weeks of seeing Dr. O- my visits to him we're sporadic since I... More

In a few weeks of seeing Dr. O- my visits to him we're sporadic since I live in Santa Barbara- I was no longer in pain and was back to all my usual activities. I can't say enough about the one on one care I received- absolutely worth the drive for me! I so appreciate the goal of no meds, no surgery, no pain! Thanks Dr O and Advanced Physical Therapy! Less
I’ve had nothing but success with Dr. Ali on my lower back after an injury in CrossFit with plated sit-ups. After 3 sessions I was 90% pain free and now after my 4th session I’m 100% pain free. I definitely recommend this place without reservation.
I was introduced to their practice at an event and was very impressed with their hands-on approach! Today at their clinic I had an awesome welcome in their board, I included a pic! Dr.O definitely listen to me and I felt SEEN & HEARD. We did the assessment to see my limitations and right away worked his magic! I left therefore better and empowered for my healing journey.

Really helpful! It brought circulation to the area! Warmed it up! Feels good! Come check it out! See what they can do for you!
So knowledgeable and friendly! They have a very personal approach and I cannot recommend them highly enough!!
I have never experienced Physical Therapy quite like this! Myro has a healing touch; he found the source of my pain quickly and I found profound relief in one visit. The entire staff is amazing!
I have had sciatic nerve pain and extremely tight glutes for years! I’ve been to “traditional” physical therapy, through my health care provider, several times and they have never provided any relief. I’ve had 3 appointments with Advanced Physical Therapy and Wellness, and most of the tightness and pain is gone! I didn’t think I’d ever feel this good again.
Owen gave me an adjustment that help me breathe a lot more flow into my lunges. Also dont forget my one arm handstand that can be held a lot longer. Thanks Owen aka the best
I feel really good I think my headache went away very nice

Jennifer was absolutely amazing. I had so many concerns and questions about my back pain, she made me feel super comfortable and at ease. I’m really thankful for all of the great information on pain management.
Great place if you want to recover from an injury!
Advanced Physical Therapy is the best in town! I’ve had some chronic neck and upper back stiffness that they were able to get figured out quickly with their Total Body Diagnostic and came up with a simple treatment plan to start getting it taken care of. If you are in Mira Mesa and have any movement related issues, they are the place to go to!
Dr. Owen is a phenomenal human being with an attention to detail few have. Looking to real solutions that doesn’t involve medications or surgeries!

I came in with wrist and shoulder pain, so debilitating I nearly considered leaving my career (use my hands all day) not only removing the underlying nagging pain in my shoulders but my wrists too! This is super impressive as many different professionals told me they couldn’t help what I have….well Dr. O just did! Happy to send my partner and my patients to his clinic for top class care! Less
Dr. O is easy to talk to and not like other Docs I have been treated by in the past. His holistic approach combined with his genuine desire to take time to get to know his patients yield excellent life changing outcomes. This is not your typical treatment care
Found ‘Advanced Physical Therapy’ co. on Public Square. They are freedom loving, unvaccinated, no mask required, Patriots. Had horrible pain, so bad I could barely workout, or get off the couch. They have gotten me back to working out, and a very busy life. Highly recommend! 10+ stars.
I came to Dr Owen when my back was flared up. It’s been giving me problems since I stopped doing jujitsu a few years ago. Within a few visits it felt better than it has in years. Whenever I woke up with pain, I did the exercises he told me and it went away. The belt exercises is magic and gives me confidence to get back to rolling. I’ve been able to surf for longer and more intense in years!
I like the therapy Owen gave me I can walk now without the cane thanks owen
Being apart of this clinic was one of the best decisions I ever made. Everyday I walked in I learned something new that I will take with me forever.

Even though I was just a student doing observation hours, Owen and Jen took the time to take care of me and make sure all of my needs are met. Owen even took the time out of his schedule to perform physical therapy on me and helped me so much with pain that I was feeling. I met so many amazing patients that I have watched go from having drastic pain to up and doing the things they love. These are very amazing people and if you have the opportunity to come to them, I would not recommend anything more. I have seen them change the lives of so many people around them, including mine.

Dr. O really took the time to listen to my issues and put me through different stretches to test my knee limitations. He came up with a plan to strengthen my legs and increase the range of motion in my hips, knees, and ankles! I’ve met many PT’s but none like Dr. O and Jennifer Johnston. They make you feel at home and care about each patient’s well-being even after treatment. Definitely on the top of my referral list! Less

Both have progressed nicely and I have complete confidence that I will be fully mended by the end of my treatments. He is incredibly knowledgable, shares the process with me in a way that I can follow and is very approachable with any questions. His passion for this industry is apparent and it's nice to know I'm going to feel better soon and age better in the long run. Congrats if you are looking for a capable and kind PT, you just found them! Less
I have been seen by other physical therapist before, but they were not as helpful as Owen. He is very professional and friendly where it comes to his clients. I am very happy with the results after each session and am grateful to see the positive results written down so we can see where there is more progress and where more help is needed.

Dr. Johnston is hands down one of the best physical therapist I’ve worked with, and unfortunately I’ve been injured more than I want. He had a can do attitude and approach to get me back to normal as fast as possible, while listening and understanding any limitations I had. He helped make huge gains in getting me additional range of motion in my arm extension, as well as external rotation in the other shoulder. Luckily I was seeing him when I had an injury to my foot and he was super willing and able to assist with that as well. I was happy to know Dr. Johnston was able to provide super bills that I was able to take back and get a significant reimbursement from my insurance. So I was able to work with the best therapist and have insurance cover most of it. I highly recommend him as a physical therapist, as he is now my go to for when I have issues. Less
I drive 2 hours one-way once a week to see Owen because his knowledge, skill, and care is unmatched!

I drive 2 hours one-way once a week to see Owen because his knowledge, skill, and care is unmatched! I have compression fractures T8-T11, osteoarthritis, degenerative joint disease, Schmorl's nodes, nerve pain at the site, and muscle atrophy from being immobile for two years after the injury. Injury occurred at beginning of pandemic but due to the slow and overburdened medical system I did not get clear understanding of what was happening until late 2021. My health plan offered tele-therapy but tele-appts without a hands-on assessment felt unsafe so I decided to wait until I couldnt wait anymore. That's when I found Owen and met him in person for an assessment in December 2021. I could not stand, lift, twist, sit, bend, lay down, without unmanageable pain when I began with Owen. Now I am doing all the above with no pain and have gained so much range of motion! After our first appointment I did the work religiously and was blown away by how quickly my body was responding. Neural tension was tackled quickly and allowed us to move on to structural issues much faster than I had anticipated. Owen's approach to PT is highly effective and produces results super fast--if you do the work between visits! I highly recommend him for anyone wanting to avoid pain medications and heal their injuries without surgeries. Less
Owen was so helpful in identifying exactly what my issues were, even ones I didn’t mention that were bothering me. I felt relief after once session and knew I would be on my way back to the activities that are so important to me! I highly recommend him. He is caring, and goes above what a typical physical therapist would normally do! Thank you Owen!!

Great experience rehabbing both a knee pre and post op, and should injury. Owen is attentive, does his research and assembles a plan for therapy and rehab that was personalized to my needs, capabilities and goals. He was always available to address concerns and questions. Great work! Thank you.

"This past Spring- I had missed a step and fallen in a government building due to wearing a misplaced bandana and had injured my shoulder and my neck. I did not want to go to a regular Doctor so I let it go hoping it would get better. Months later- the pain was working it’s way into other areas of my spine. Just as I had decided that it was time to reach out and find a capable and constitutionally compatible physical therapist- I read an email by ReOpen San Diego spotlighting Owen Johnston who had left Kaiser due to the unlawful Vaccine Mandates. I called Owen immediately and booked an appointment. It has been 2 1/2 months since my first visit with Owen and I am relatively pain free! Most days- I can go a good portion of the day- if not all of the day- not thinking about and dealing with the pain in my neck and shoulders. I cannot say enough about Owen. He is an old soul in a young man’s body! He is a natural and intuitive healer. He stays right in the present moment with you and works to resolve the situation that is sourcing the pain -create greater flexibility - balance and stability while educating you on what he is doing and sharing wisdom from his heart about life."

I’m so excited to see you working on the mulligan technique! I mean foosh injuries are definitely a thing! Thanks for helping me with my wrist. You helped me with my wrist more than PTs I was “assigned” to could. Thanks Dr. Owen!

Even common household chores would give me pain. Owen made me a believer in physical therapy! I gained an understanding that it’s way more than just the exercises. I remember him saying I am working on remodeling your wrists and it has definitely been the most effective solution to my wrist pain and loss of function issues. After about 6 weeks there was major progress and now I can work on the computer for 3 hours a day instead of only 15 minutes. I can actually play tennis again and do yoga moves using my wrists. I am forever grateful to Dr. Owen for his help in giving me my wrist and hand strength back. Truly amazing! Less
Absolutely amazing! Dr. Owen knows his stuff! He listened to all my concerns, aches and pains. When I left I felt so much better and with a ton of knowledge on how to stretch and hopefully prevent future pain! Highly recommend!!’
Dr. Owen is a very professional, friendly and knowledgeable physical therapist. Highly recommend.
Owen is a rock-star therapist. I have had the great pleasure to see him in action with his clientele and he really cares about progressing each patient he sees. He listens to the patients concerns, addresses them, and then implements a plan of care to heal the patient with various tools of the trade he has gathered throughout his career. You are in good hands with Owen.
Dr. Owen is a devoted and caring Physical Therapist who has a skill set that enables each patient to have an individualized therapy plan. He is attentive to his patients needs and is a great listener. Would highly recommend!

I have a lot of tension in the middle of my back and neck that is hard to relieve on my own. Owen was able to relieve most of my discomfort within a few adjustments and it didn't take long at all. I highly recommend Owen to anybody who is tense, in pain, or needs just needs a effective PT.
A detailed thoughtful approach to rehabilitation and performance!
Owen is an incredible professional that provides excellent care. Would highly recommend him to family or friends in need of care.

Owen worked on my back and neck (I broke my back several years ago), and and I immediately gain more freedom in my spine! I felt extremely comfortable with him, he is very professional and proficient. Highly recommended!
Dr. Owen is an incredible PT. He is patient, explained what he was doing and the results were like nothing I had previous experienced. Painless and fast healing. I had irritated a low back injury from years before and after a week of dealing with the pain I had a significant improvement after 1 treatment and was back to my normal function after 3.
