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!

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.

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. Thank you so much Owen and Jen! Less

Just finished an amazing PT session with Dr. Owen! I have been recovering from a knee injury and have been struggling to regain my range of motion and ability to run/jog without sensitivity. 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
I am so grateful to have met Dr. Owen through his wife, Dr. Jen. He is as kind, thoughtful and ethical as she is. I am currently seeking treatment for a pinched elbow and tender hip.

I am so grateful to have met Dr. Owen through his wife, Dr. Jen. He is as kind, thoughtful and ethical as she is. I am currently seeking treatment for a pinched elbow and tender hip. 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 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.

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!!
After several car wrecks, oral surgery, etc. I was in a lot of pain especially in my face and Jaw. Owen was a great help!

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!
Dr. Owen was generous with his time and expertise.

Who knew?! I thought flossing was only for your teeth! While he gave me instructions with self videos to continue after his going back to California, l can continue to work and heal my injury and I want to share my healing because l am on my way to the platform again and mind you this is not an over night healing for me and if you are looking to be ‘ healed” over night then you may set yourself up for failure. ( of course everyone healing is different) However, l did receive immediate release of held mobility and pain so much l was in awe! Less

I had chalked it up to age and damage beyond repair to my wrists due to carpal tunnel syndrome. Over the course of 3 to 4 years I felt like I had tried everything: wrist braces, stretches, work station ergonomics and devices, acupuncture etc. and some of these helped a little bit but I still could not gain the full function back that I wanted in my wrists. 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.
