San Diego Sports Medicine Physical Therapy

I chose SDSM for my PT after total hip replacement. I was very pleased with their team, especially Chelsea Best, and the PT Assistants Ryan, Doreen, and Jason, but really the whole crew there are cheerful and clearly enjoy helping people. They all worked together as a team, and were a joy to work with for my post op recovery. They challenged me to work hard and provide helpful feedback and coaching. For home PT, they provided easy to follow instructions for home exercises (using an online program, HEP2, that was easy to use with an iPad or smartphone). Becca at the front reception kept the schedule well organized and was always pleasant. I believe working with this team helped me recover quickly and get back to the many activities I love. I highly recommend them for PT.

In the beginning, I thought to myself that this PT is not going to work and I’ll never ride my mountain bike again. Chelsea made me a believer! She is awesome, takes her time and makes you feel at ease. Between Chelsea and Ryan, they kept me on course with my excercises and helped me reach all my goals! I’m back riding my bike:) I highly recommend SD Sports Medicine PT!!!

Chelsea is awesome! Everyone on the staff was always very professional and fun to work with — a great group of people.
Chelsea was very easy and fun to work with and gave me exercises to help me improve and challenge myself. She understood my goals and was always great about asking how I was feeling and pinpointing problem areas. A very good conversationalist and keeping me accountable on doing my exercises at home and setting intermediate goals for myself to continue on the path to recovery.
I highly recommend SD Sports Medicine as they were very easy to work with and the appointment times are very flexible to your schedule. They were very understanding if I had a last minute schedule change because of work and couldn’t make an appointment. The staff got to know me and continued to ask about my life outside PT and recovery which made it even more personable and enjoyable. Working with them on the exercises was really fun too.
Now that I’m discharged I feel like I’m at 95% recovery! Thank you Chelsea, and staff, you guys are the best!

I saw both Mike and Chelsea for a few months related to shoulder issues. Their program is first rate, excellent practitioners. Additionally, the PTA’s were dialed in, they helped me master my rehab program. SDSM PT is a 5 star operation!

I had two different injuries in the last year, the staff at San Diego Sports Medicine & physical therapy were excellent! Everyone there was professional and courteous. Chelsea was my physical therapist. She did a fantastic job attending to my injuries and was never in a rush to get to her next patient. Ryan assisted with stretching exercises and physical training. He paid close attention to detail. If it wasn’t for Chelsea and Ryan I wouldn’t be able to play sports today, thanks again for getting me back on my feet and feeling good.

I highly recommend San Diego Sports Medicine Physical Therapy and in particular PT Extraordinaire, Chelsea Best. I was in for treatment for a frozen shoulder and lumbar spinal stenosis. The one-​on-​one attention by a therapist is unparalleled; the individualized and monitored exercises and the dedication to seeing and tracking measurable improvement are all hallmarks of a best-​in-​class physical therapy organization. i will not go anywhere else!

When I injured my neck, Dr. Rodriguez got me the necessary tests (X-​ray and MRI) quickly, with none of the usual run-​around from doctors and started physical therapy 2 days after my initial exam. Chelsea is the BEST! Throughout my entire PT regimen, she has monitored my improvement and made sure that the exercises, stretching and massage therapy were all appropriate to my injury and level of rehabilitation. I would (and have!) recommended her to friends and family. Her PT aides were very friendly and knowledgeable as well, and were super helpful and attentive to make sure I did the exercises properly.

I have frozen shoulder and Chelsea Best has been an amazing physical therapist to help me get back on the road to recovery. She is knowledgeable and professional, yet makes rehabbing fun and enjoyable. i will definitely recommend both Chelsea and SDSM Physical Therapy!

Very professional, great facility, friendly environment!
I could hardly walk when I first started seeing Chelsea Best about a hip injury. Now, I’m able to do all my regular physical activities without any pain! Chelsea is very caring, intelligent, and great at what she does. As a former professional ballet dancer I’ve seen many physical therapist and I’d have to say Chelsea is someone I would highly recommend to others.
Her assistants were also really nice, fun to talk with, and great at helping me with my exercises.

Very professional, friendly environment/​team. Danny and Chelsea have been helping me return to my day to day after my hip procedure and it’s been working wonderfully.

I was amazed that Chelsea was able to cure my upper back pain in just one visit.

I came to San Diego Sports Medicine physical therapy after spine fusion surgery. I have seen several PT’s over the years, with varying results. I have had a fantastic experience working with Danny. He is very knowledgeable and I feel confident I am in good hands. The staff is likewise very competent and helpful. When dealing with my difficult insurance Becca has gone out of her way to make sure my referrals are processed. Overall I would highly recommend this company.

I have worked with San Diego Sports Medicine Physical Therapy for three different injuries… periformis syndrome, arthoscopic meniscus repair and a sprained MCL. They are so excellent at what they do! During my time there I have had the opportunity to work with all three therapists Danny, Chelsea and Mike, and they are all fantastic. I thought they had great attention to detail and were concerned about getting me back to my active lifestyle as fast as possible. I love the environment at this office, the pt’s and all the assistants are really fun to work with and you can tell they really love their job! You know you have found a good place for physical therapy when past clients are bringing in gifts and lunch all the time for everyone! I think it happened every time I was there! Don’t go anywhere else!

Chelsea Best was my physical therapist. She was always super positive and cheerful! She made me feel at ease and was never in a rush to get to the next patient, she listened and adjusted everything so I didn’t feel pain in any session. I would recommend her to anyone! The staff was also very friendly and made the appointments fly by.

San Diego Sports Medicine PT has a very knowledgable staff that genuinely cares for their patients and their well-​being through individual attention and thorough instruction. The staff at SDSM helps help the patient understand their specific need in a way that their therapy becomes a self-​made home therapy decision for betterment, and a reception of specialized modalities from the Physical Therapist. With a Medical practitioners office adjacent to the PT facilities, this is an ideal setup to quickly receive the care that You Need.
Way To Go! Thank You!

I am passionate about what I’m building for this world and I hold myself to an elite standard in everything that I do. I keep myself in top condition (intellectually, spiritually and physically) and a peak state of readiness. When I require support to keep me at an elite level, I do not hesitate to call upon the best.
I called upon San Diego Sports Medicine to help me recover from two different injuries that I sustained and re-​aggravated during my many adventures around the world. Chelsea Best was my physical therapist and she was masterful in leading her team in my healing plan. She was able to quickly diagnose the root issue and establish an effective treatment plan. She has helped me regain my elite athletic and physical conditioning.
I held Chelsea to a very high standard and she easily delivered. Chelsea is very good at her job. I’d say she’s one of the best physical therapists in San Diego. She’s also a good person. I will not hesitate to call upon her in the future should I ever sustain another injury.

Best as in Chelsea Best– when I first came into this facility I could barely lift my left arm above my head to set a volleyball without pain– when I was discharged I was back to playing 10 hours a weekend pain free! I came in and saw Danny first very knowledgeable and professional he explained to me my injury and treated me well. My next available time he was not available so I was scheduled with Mike. He was also awesome and helped to plan homework and exercises that would aid in a speedy recovery. Then with my crazy work schedule I was scheduled with Chelsea whom works on Saturday! What a plus to be able to come in not between a lunch break! She really listened and held me accountable to doing my homework and get me where I needed to be in a hurry also explained what I needed to do in order to stay healthy! I will never go to another place I’m glad Dr. Anthony recommended this facility, I have been in sports treatments for over 30 years and this by far is the best experience!

I am a volunteer at this clinic and it definitely deserves this 5 star rating. I’m an aspiring DPT student and I have found my experience here to be very beneficial toward this process. The staff has really taken the time to create a hands on educational experience unlike any other. They all possess patience, kindness, and really make me feel like I’m part of the team. The Physical Therapists also occasionally ask me questions to keep my knowledge sharp! They are also open to taking questions and develop everyone in this workplace to a higher standard. In addition to my personal experience, I often hear the patients compliment the treatment they receive. It is amazing witnessing the patient improvement that I see here. So whatever your interest may be toward this place (volunteer, patient, PT aide or PT), you’re definitely going to want to try this place out.

Chase was awesome. I did some nerve and ligament damage to my ankle and he helped put me back on my feet in no time flat. Bravo!!!

After having my third child I wanted to try pilates to get back my core strength. The pilates instructors were great with communicating proper form with each exercise and they knew how to adjust for my neck, back and shoulder issues. I love it when other people notice my good posture, I tell them it’s pilates!
