Catalyst Physical Therapy and Wellness

I came in pretty beat up from overuse injuries and in a lot of pain and now I am in no pain! I learned so much from each PT I worked with and loved how each had such a wealth of knowledge. Andrew is a fantastic PT who helped me learn how to stabilize my shoulder and hip and balanced that with mobility movements and manual therapy. Adam is another awesome PT who helped me to understand how the ribcage and breathing plays a role in shoulder health. I feel better physically and gained a new understanding of movement and balance, highly recommend!

After being discharged and completing my care plan with Catalyst and Brynn, my physical health is the best it’s been since my early 20s. I pretty much accepted my knee, hip, and low back issues. But now, I run daily, climb/boulder twice a week, and can remain at my standing desk for long periods of time. I spent two years with Catalyst for multiple injuries and physical issues; every session with Brynn (and everyone else I worked with) was worth it. My wife is now at Catalyst with Brynn as well and is now seeing her own improvements. Her energy levels are improving and her pain is becoming manageable. Most importantly, my wife and I are learning. We’re learning how to care for our bodies long term. I’ve not stopped using techniques or exercises I’ve learned from catalyst. I sustained a back injury the day after my discharge. This was on October 5 2024. By following a similar treatment plan for my low back from catalyst, I was able to self-care. On October 20, I was climbing again. Other stuff: parking is fine, can be busy post rush hour (5-6pm) due to sport activities. Staff is great. Assistants/students are knowledgeable and friendly. Facility is well kept. Brynn is phenomenal. Adam is the man. But everyone you work with is great. Thank you Brynn. Thanks Catalyst.

I had been struggling with persistent knee pain training for a long hike. The team at Catalyst focused on creating a personalized plan that addressed my knee pain, which originated in my hip. Their hands-on techniques, combined with targeted exercises, made a noticeable difference in my mobility and pain level. I am now hiking up to 7 miles with a much larger goal in sight. I highly recommend their expertise to anyone dealing with similar issues!

I’ve been having lower back problems for a few years now due to a sports injury. Though nothing too major, it does typically bother me just about everyday and my back would pretty tight/stiff. I’ve been working with Andrew for just about a month and he has definitely made a huge difference. He forms a very cohesive program that includes massaging out the muscles, stretches, body weight exercises, cable exercises, etc. I’ve been able to implement these at home as well which has helped tremendously. For just a month of physical therapy, I’ve seen a big improvement in my lower back and Andrew is very attentive. The PT tech Keiko would walk me through the exercises and sets up the equipment. She is also pleasant to work with and does a great job explaining the movements. Overall, Andrew is a fantastic PT who does great work at the clinic and the team definitely sets you up for success with a bunch of home exercises as well.

Andrew and the crew at Catalyst are amazing! After a knee replacement, they clearly laid out a plan and helped me to achieve my goals. Within 5-6 weeks, I was able to get back to walking and some light golf. In the end, I left with over 95% mobility and strength in my knee and a workout plan to keep getting stronger. I would definitely recommend Catalyst.

I was referred to Catalyst by my primary care doctor after I was in the hospital from severely injuring my left side at the gym. When I started physical therapy I could barely walk, had no reflex response, and was in constant pain. Andrew was awesome every step of the way, spending the next 2 months with me twice a week to get my strength back and decrease pain. He helped me understand the injury and how it was affecting my sciatic nerve. We improved and evolved my plan from basic stretches to a modified workout program as I made progress. It’s a good space in a nice area of San Diego and the staff were always great. Thank you all for your help!

Andrew and the whole team at Catalyst are fantastic! First, Andrew helped me regain my strength and balance after an ankle injury. Then, he designed a full workout routine for me to help me get out of chronic hip pain I have had for decades due to hypermobility. I’m so grateful! Highly recommend.

Love Catalyst! I had 3 herniated disks right on top of each other and was struggling to do basic tasks but they got me on my feet and exercising again! They have cool apps to help with exercises and the therapists are always learning and applying new techniques. They really put the client as #1. Thanks, Andrew, Lyndsey, and Catalyst!
