Total Potential Physical Therapy: Wellness & Rehabilitation, PC

I can’t say enough good things about Joel Kim! From the moment I walked into his practice, I felt confident I was in great hands. Joel is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable in his field but also incredibly compassionate and attentive. He takes the time to listen, assess your needs thoroughly, and tailor a treatment plan that works best for you. His attention to detail and ability to explain the “why” behind every move and technique really sets him apart. Thanks to Joel, I’ve made remarkable progress, and I feel stronger, more mobile, and pain-free for the first time in a long while.

We are grateful for Dr. Joel because he worked on my son who had an ankle injury from playing soccer. With just one session, he was pain free and was able to play with so much confidence and enthusiasm just the day after seeing Dr. Joel. Not only did he work on my son’s body, the results helped boost my son’s confidence and improve his mindset. Dr. Joel’s approach is truly holistic, going beyond the physical body, and healing the person. We are so happy and grateful that he is a practitioner that we can truly rely on.

Joel review Dr. Joel Kim was recommended to me by my wife’s primary doctor (Dr. Ma). I figured I would give him a shot since the months of physical therapy that I had previously done after my wrist surgery, resulted in little to no progress. The range of motion was extremely limited and the strength was embarrassing low. After the first visit, I noticed some improvement but was unsure if it was just psychosomatic, or it was actually the treatment. I went on to see him for three more visits and boy what a difference. The range of motion has significantly progressed and I’m even able to do push-ups, go back to the gym again (which I wasn’t able to do for the past year), and I’ll be headed back to the mats to grapple again in a couple of weeks. Dr. Joel Kim is methodical, precise, confident, and most of all effective. He takes a very different approach but make no mistake about it, he is definitely a healer. Thank you once again Dr. for giving me hope of having my active lifestyle back.

My husband Harry has a long history of knee joint problems. The orthopedic surgeon is considering him for knee replacement surgery in the near future. While attending table tennis game at Huntsman World Senior competition in St George, Harry’s table tennis partner, Leonid Polishuk, introduced this different physical therapy concept to me, who is a physical therapist located in Philadelphia. He identified Harry’s knee problems (was not able to straight when needed) right away after the games. We talked about how to solved the problems etc., (by the way, I used to be a physician myself), I then searched internet for manual PT in our area and found Dr. Joel Kim. It took quite some of my time to convince Harry to try it out. He went through so many different approaches, they worked a little bit sometimes but all just for a while. It was to Harry’s surprise that the first treatment already worked and improved his condition at least 20%. He continued to have the treatment and now the 6th times. Looking at Harry’s change, standing almost straight, I would highly recommend Dr. Kim to other people who have similar issues, it is worth of trying, and it is worth of money we have spent.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Joel on and off for several years, and I can’t speak highly enough of him. Joel has consistently improved, if not completely healed, every ailment I've encountered. His expertise is matched by his patience and attentiveness - he genuinely listens and is incredibly detail-oriented. He takes the time to thoroughly explain each treatment, ensuring you understand the process and its benefits. Joel’s office exudes a calm and serene atmosphere, creating a soothing environment that enhances the overall therapeutic experience. I always leave feeling significantly better after our sessions. If you're seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate physical therapist, I wholeheartedly recommend Joel. His exceptional skills and caring approach make him an invaluable asset to anyone seeking recovery and improvement.

I am beyond grateful to Dr. Joel at Physical Potential Therapy for the miraculous care he provided. Just one week before my first Latin ballroom competition, I could barely walk due to intense knee pain, and competing seemed out of reach. But through Dr. Joel’s expert guidance, healing hands, and dedication, I experienced something truly remarkable. His treatment not only relieved my pain but enabled me to dance - something I could hardly imagine just days before. Dr. Joel, thank you for your wisdom, care, and the extra time you invested in my recovery. Your work allowed me to step onto that dance floor, turning what felt like a setback into an incredible moment. It was nothing short of a miracle, and I am deeply grateful for your role in making it possible.

I decided to update my healing process to help peoples who suffer from life long pain not to give up. I found this amazing healer. I gave Dr. Joel Kim five stars and and here's why. This is my first session with Dr Kim. In my opinion he is a one of a kind PT. He is friendly professional, caring, compassionate, patient, understanding thoughtful, intuitive. I have been suffering (11 years +)from chronic health issues like joint pain, muscle pain, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, overweight, belly fat, weakness of muscles Bad energy flow in my system (chi), issue such as fatigue,weakness, bad night sleep, after meal i feel fatigue. it's difficult to find a doctor that can fit in the mold of all the illness i have on me. I really was giving up on my health because I felt like my primary doctor gave up on me four years ago. I honestly never thought a doctor like Dr. Joel Kim existed. A hybrid physical therapist would be an understatement for Dr. Kim, so for the lack of a better word. Dr. Kim. Started me with "cranial sacral therapy" for my first session. After my first session, I feel happy and I feel lighter. I will have a follow update review in next few weeks. I highly recommend anybody who is suffering for arthritis, heart disease, cholesterol, memories problem, PTSD, Long Covid, aging joint pain, taking loads of medication that's making your body more sick. Go to Doctor Joel Kim. I’m a realist so I don’t expect a cure all however, i’m grateful for the relief from the 11 years plus’s physical and mental pain and my first session. I feel grateful that I found a unicorn of a physical therapist through a friend Update 7/23/24 After my first session. Dr Joel and i have been working together to achieve my healing goal. I want to be able to be active with my family and teenage child; reduce joints paint, walking for long while without pain, reduce backpain. Dr. Joel had already got rid of my rightside-leg groin pain( I couldn’t even lift my leg up). my knees been feeling less pain and not congested. my daughter said i have been walking faster and my walk looking more “ normal”, kids. I’m able to bend both knees more smoothly. Im very grateful. I had “Nasal Release Technique” done. I went right back to work later That night i feel so tired all i wanted was a ice pack on my forehead and go to sleep, so i did. I feel wonderful the next day. I will update more in a few month.

I was recommended to see Dr. Joel by my primary doctor. From the first risk free consultation I knew he was different. His knowledge about the body and his approach to treatment can’t be matched. I’ve been suffering with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome for over 20 years and around with Occipital Neuralgia for about 7 years. In the short 2 1/2 months of treatment, my occipital flare ups have lessened by 70%. I also have lower back pain and I started having numbness in my toes about a month ago. He worked on that issue 2 weeks ago and I haven’t had the numbness since. Dr. Joel truly is gifted. His kindness and genuine concern for your wellbeing is felt every session. He treats the body as a whole. You will be mystified to learn how everything is connected. He told me from the beginning that my case will take a long time. I appreciate his honesty but I’m already seeing progress. I haven’t been this hopeful in a very long time. Thank you Dr. Joel.
