SD Sports Physical Therapy

Had a great experience with Derek. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, from head to toe, ensuring I fully understand my recovery process. Having worked with professionals around the world while playing overseas, I can confidently say Derek is the best for me. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Ostrowski is extremely knowledgeable and personable. He took the time to truly understand my goals as a patient and created a game plan tailored to my needs. SD Sports Physical Therapy makes physical therapy and body work accessible, efficient, and affordable.

SDSPT is truly the best. From the first day I walked in November, I knew I was in the right place to get fixed. Everyone on the team is professional, kind, and highly skilled. I’ve been going to Derek since day 1, and he knows exactly what he is doing. I came to Derek with a swollen left knee, knee clicking, difficulty walking, and symptoms of a meniscus tear. After just my first session with Derek, I could walk, do a bodyweight squat, and my knee discomfort had significantly decreased. I continued to see Derek once a week, and each time my knee felt extremely better. Derek cares about his clients and does everything in his power to ensure his clients feel their best so they can heal, recover, progress, and return to their favorite activities. It is now June, and I’m back in the gym doing leg days, and I couldn’t be happier, thanks to Derek’s help. My knee no longer clicks or locks, and the inflammation has decreased immensely. I am very sad to be moving from San Diego because Derek is a one of a kind. I am so happy I found SDSPT, and I highly recommend everyone to go to SDSPT!

I went to Dr. Parmis Rezvani for some knee pain that was prohibiting me from training. Olympic lifting requires constant knee bend, and I was unable to perform my exercises. Parmis was able to diagnose my hip immobility and quad imbalance, and she wrote extensive rehab exercises and worked with my coach to adjust programming so that I could get back to training. She is super thorough, super easy to work with, and overall a great Dr!

I discovered SD Sports Physical Therapy in November 2023, and my experience has been transformative. Dr. Derek Rustich's bodywork is unmatched, providing relief and results that I hadn't found elsewhere. His strength and conditioning sessions jump-started my gym routine, taking my fitness to the next level. When Antonio Riggins joined the team, his one-on-one sessions helped me connect with muscles I wasn’t fully utilizing. His clear, straightforward explanations made complex concepts easy to understand. SDSPT has truly been a game-changer for me!

I've had a number of injuries over the years and I was constantly in pain, so much that I started to accept that's just how life was now. I decided it was worth a shot to try something different and booked a session with Gabi. Not only is my pain gone, but I'm able to move in ways I thought was no longer possible for me and I'm able to enjoy things I previously stopped doing because of my injuries. Gabi is a master of her craft and I can't praise her knowledge enough. I highly recommend checking them out!

In 2022, I was an avid runner and Dr. Derek was able to pinpoint an issue I was having with my stride. A year later I “tweaked” something, ended up in severe pain, and went to the my general heath care provider for help. After a few months, I still didn’t have a true diagnosis from the medical group and I decided to go to SDSPT to see if Dr. Derek could help. Immediately, Derek suspected I tore my meniscus, and ultimately that is what the MRI revealed. I chose to work with SDSPT to avoid surgery. After 6 months of rehabilitation with SDSPT, I’m back to running three days a week. MANY THANKS to Dr. Derek and SDSPT!

I am so grateful to have come across SDSPT especially Dr. Nick Barin. I had gone to three other Physical Therapy centers and this spot was leaps and bounds ahead. I had suffered a grade three AC separation and was nearly immobile in my right arm when I came in. Dr. Barin started the first session out with a great explanation of a course of treatment as well as why and how this would be best, which was something no other physical therapist had done. Having the therapy here enabled me to go on a climbing trip in the Cascades. I am back to 100% in my shoulder. I highly recommend Nick and the SDSPT team!
