When I first walked in for my first session of PT, I was limping. I was walking with the majority of weight on my right side to avoid putting weight on my left side hip area. I was given excercises and stretches to work on during my sessions and at home. The excercises really helped and progressed as my sessions went on. One excercise that I had trouble doing was the clams and by the end of sessions, I was doing them with a resistant band.

I injured my back at work. I could barely stand up from sitting or lying down when I had my first PT apt. After my 2nd apt. most the difficulty was gone. By my final apt, just a few weeks later all the pain in my lower back was gone. Between the therapy with Colin, the stretches he gave me to do and the electric therapy almost all the pain is gone.

Colin and Ashley were both really great and helped me get back to the activities I was doing before injuring my ankle. I went from not being able to walk, but with both of their help, I’m back to weight lifting, cycling and hiking. They both pushed me and encouraged to get the best outcome. Thank you Colin and Ashley.

Nathan & Ashley were so pleasant to deal with. Even when they hurt me they were nice about it. I was really concerned about having a terrible experience but I actually enjoyed my therapy & even though it is a slow healing, I got excited when I noticed accomplishments, and so did they.

I spent 6 months in PT. Each step of the way I had ups and downs and learned a lot about what works for me. The therapists were very in tune to what did and did not work and would tailor my routine to maximize the positive. Ultimately Colin introduced me to Pilates reform which has been the most impactful to me. I leave here today feeling good and very hopeful that I am near recovery.

I had a problem with my left knee and that made it different for me to do physical things that I used to do.

Everyone here @ Fyzical has been so helpful, positive, and professional in their approach & follow up. The staff has also been so supportive and organized. My issue with my right hip was a bit of a mystery until Ashley suggested I may have a labral tear, she was right! I also had severe arthritis in my right hip. The hip replacement fixed both of those issues. Stephen & Ashley helped me through the recovery.

Living with a virus induced disequilibrium was something I lived with and got used to. When I was referred to Advantage PT I learned how to improve that imbalance as well as recommit to a new effort of training my strength overall. It’s been useful!

I had a great experience with Stephen, my PT and his staff.

I experienced swelling and loss of strength in my right knee unexpectedly. After going through therapy my strength has returned and increased. The extra deep tissue laser therapy I feel added to my recovery I also had pain throughout my leg only at night, but I no longer have that pain. I believe for therapy to work you have to continue your sessions and work at home daily. It is worth every penny to be in good health.

Over the course of my healing I worked mostly with two great physical therapists, Kat and Nathan. I had partially torn a ligament in my ankle and difficulty with walking and later with stairs. Kat helped a lot with the early stages of recovery and Nathan was amazing with building strength and fine tuning things for my day to day life. Everyone was friendly. It was a great experience

I came to Advantage with very low mobility. I was 6 weeks post an ankle sprain with significant damage to the surrounding soft tissue. Just days before my first session with Colin, I was using a cane. After a few sessions I was able to go from walking a few steps with pain to being on my feet for several hours with soreness. All I wanted was to gain mobility again and return to normal activity.

This was my first PT experience. Advantage was recommended to me by a friend who said that she not only felt better but the people who worked here were very nice & friendly, I found that to be true! Nathan, Ashley & Andrea really listened to me. They knew the right questions to ask & weren’t afraid to try out different exercises w/ me until I knew & not only could do them- but I would do them at home.

I arrived at PT with inexplicable lower back pain. It was both local and general. Nathan treated the whole me. We not only worked out exercises to help strengthen the physical body but we also focused on the mental/emotional patterns that would help keep me consistent with my PT homework lower my anxiety around the pain and ultimately largely resolve the pain and tension in my back. I’m leaving with practical exercises and tools that will not only keep my original symptoms in good health but keep me strong, active, and healthy in the years to come.

In June of 2024 I sustained a lower back pain injury that caused me an intense amount of pain in my lower back and right leg. After seeing an orthopedic surgeon, I was told I would need a spinal fusion surgery and I was not willing to accept that as my only option. I then visited a pain management specialist and had spinal epidurals which provided more to little relief. I then sought out other means of healing as my quality of life completely diminished and depression started to set in.

My experience here could not have been better. Thanks, Dylan!

The staff is great positive and welcoming. I had a back injury, I couldn’t lift, touch my toes even sitting was a painful task. Advantage helped me get back on track, strengthening my back and other parts that I need to do my job and other daily tasks. I will recommend Advantage to others and I thank all their staff for all they do to get us back to our lives.

I had a wonderful experience at PT. I had hip flexor pain and weak muscles in my legs and core. With the exercises I did here and the routine I was given to do at home, I’ve seen 1–% improvement. I had stopped doing pilates because of my hip pain. Now I am back at pilates with no pain.

When I came to Advantage PT I was seeing another PT. I participated in a knee workshop and saw the potential of working with Advantage PT. So I was in. Yes, help me have better function on my knee. Monster walk, crab walk, squats…and my knees became stronger and I was having less pain walking stairs. And I walk up and down a property that’s like a continual hike. With my knees doing better it was time to address my sciatica.

I’m honestly better than I was before, with a plan to keep me healthy! Thank you!

The experience here has been nothing but great. It’s been so fun getting to know everyone. It’s such a great culture here. It’s a workflow that keeps professional, but at the same time, you have a lot of fun that’s associated with it.
Today I just feel like a competent clinician and as opposed to when I first came in. The biggest skill set I feel like I have today is kind of just clinical decision-making where I can be with the patient and I can make good choices based off of their exact specific case presentation.

Sometimes it’s the people, sometimes it’s the treatment. At Advantage it’s both. The PTs are friendly, knowledgeable, confident, and push me when needed. They never had me do anything I couldn’t do. The collaboration with each other made my experience the best- sharing treatment suggestions, teaching new techniques that would benefit me, and knowing patients so I got to experience several PTs. I believe the PTs are the best,

Long story short I really loved it, love the people, love the patients, and some of the experiences that I got to have here.
The team culture is very much like a family, I felt like I could rely on anyone. It felt very welcoming to me which was nice because it’s my first rotation so I didn’t have to feel like I was trying to impress anybody and I just could focus on learning and being the best student therapist that I could be.
A lot of patients come and think of it as a social hour in conjunction with their rehabilitation which is nice. There are a lot of patients that come at the same time, know other patients at the same time and they are always you know how was your weekend and that’s nice to hear and then the patients and employees here at Advantage also have a nice relationship as well.
I think the culture here is very accepting and invested in your progress as a student from all aspects, I think. I was always encouraged and challenged in a way that I did not expect to be in a good way. I was very timid about being able to work with patients and come up with progression and doing initial evaluations and in 6th week I can do all of that and more. That’s definitely because of the support here.
My experience here with the patients, with the therapist, with the company, is going to impact how I’m going to practice as a therapist for the rest of my life because there are things here you, being here makes you want to be a great therapist, someone who is caring as a person and a good really nice balance professionalism
I would highly recommend this place for a few reasons. One, you are really in charge of how you want to make the most of your experience here, so it’s a very collaborative experience, you are not working solely with just your CI. You also work really hand in hand with PT’s and PTA’s and you get the experience coach reading which is something you don’t really get experience within your program or your curriculum. They also specialize in Vestibular Rehab which is something that is unique with this place, I am very lucky I got my feet wet in that area so I recommended it for that as well and the patients highly recommend this place.

I learned so many hands-on techniques. I got the tools to become a PTA and I feel all confident going into the workforce now.
I learn all the manual therapy, all the therapeutic techniques, progressions, and regressions and ultimately put together my methodology approach in order to start perfecting my craft. I appreciate all their time and they are all willing to help me but also like the admin staff, they are also great and very big supporters, and the owner big mentorship, she pushes you to be a little bit better every single time you have a talked with her. So, that’s definitely something that you cannot get anywhere.
I would say that if you want somebody that you know or if you want your patients to excel and get a real taste of what the workforce is gonna be like, this is definitely the place to get all of that and to be able to get all the fundamental tools in order to progress and make good products of students that you know becoming and eventually the clinicians that were going to be. It was just awesome to see people progress and even when they were just discharged, they are almost sad to leave.
Ventura is awesome, you get sun all year round, and there is a lot of things that you can do in the area, its kinda like those good mediums where there is a lot to do but it’s also pretty quiet, work by the beach. That sells itself right there and the people like I said everybody here is like friendly and welcoming.
I’m really appreciative of the experiences that I got here and I don’t think I would got it anywhere else.

Overall my experience here has been great. The whole staff has been fun, easygoing, very fun but very professional at the same time. All of the patients are so fun to work with and I learn a lot
Everybody here is good at not only just treating patients for what they are coming in with but you know treating the patient in a whole, like whole person healthcare so that’s one big thing that I notice here not just treat the individual but treat individual pathology but treat the whole person, that’s what I really like about being here.
We get a very wide variety from younger to older but all the patients have been really good, really fun to work with, and really good with students I think they would like to work with students, so that was amazing and fun.
I felt like here the physical therapist are really good at determining and differentiating everybody is different and again treating the person, not just the pathology and really individualizing everybody’s care which is very important so.
I had a great time and whoever the next student who comes is lucky and will learn a lot.

After surgery I could not reach over my head. I had very low mobility. At the end of my last sessions, I was able to reach a few milestones, like reaching for my cereal box in a high cabinet. Thank you to Holy, Erin and all who helped along the way! You all rock!

I saw an advertisement on FB about this place, I have been looking for a way to get rid of my pain. I have shoulder pain that limit me from certain activity. After few months, now I can go back to kayak, and lift weight. The team of the trainers are awesome. They know what they are doing and mostly, the environment is so fun. The exercise doesn’t feel like work. You actually enjoy it.

My experience with physical therapy here has been extremely beneficial in addressing the pain I was having with my TMJ & related issues. When I came in I was having probably 3-4 headaches a week, related to TMJ & other muscle tightness & straining. Since getting physical therapy however, I’ve noticed an increased range of head, neck & jaw movement, much less frequent headaches (1-2 max per week), and more strength in the muscles I need to help counteract the pain from overusing other muscles.

I come to Advantage Physical Therapy following my recovery from a broken jaw from a fall. I began working with Brian to get physical therapy for jaw alignment and opening. After successful treatment, I began physical therapy for my balance with Stephen. Over time my balance has improved significantly. My confidence in working and other activities involving balance has greatly increased.

I first came in with a chest strain and was unable to work out, but thanks to Steven and Trevor I am back and feel I have the tools to keep my body healthy and functional. It was such a treat to come in here and something I am going to miss. The energy here is unmatched and all the PTs and staff are so kind and welcoming. Thank you to Steven, Trevor, Myles, Ruskin, and everyone else here at Advantage for making me feel so at home and giving me a place I know I will be welcomed back with open arms if I ever need it.

When I first came to Advantage PT, I was very concerned about my history of falling. My worst injury to that point was a sprained finger, which improved with therapy. However., I was concerned about having greater injuries, such as a hip or arm, or shoulder. When I saw that Advantage PT has Balance Therapy, I knew that for this year, improving my balance before I turn 70, was a great idea and would be a help.

In February of 2021, I had balance problems. I needed teaching poles to walk and hike. The PT with Advantage began in February on zoom. I have been coming into the facility in person since the early summer of 2021. I have improved in the following areas regarding balance- I can stand up from a sitting position on a chair without assistance or having to grab onto an object to pull myself up. I can walk on smooth surfaces without the teaching poles.

I am very happy with the results of my therapy sessions. Initially, I was not sure PT would work on my knee and thought this was to satisfy insurance before surgery. I’m very pleased that the pain I was feeling has been relieved and I feel stronger overall. The staff has been very easy to work with and totally professional. I would fully recommend APT and my therapists Miles & Trevor.

I had the best experience with the staff here at Advantage Physical Therapy. From my time coming here, I’ve been able to resume doing past activities I once wasn’t able to. I can sit on my desk to do school work without complaining about my neck I can do art without having to take a break because of neck pain as well. Overall I feel stronger and knowledgeable on how to continue working on strengthening my neck so I don’t go back to the discomfort I once was in.

I first had trouble sleeping on my left side. I also had trouble fulling use of my left arm due to an injury to my collar bone. I also had trouble lifting my arm up high and since I am involved in a church that is important to me during worship. Even as a fisherman it was hard to use my rod. Ever since physical therapy my arm and collarbone have been feeling great and I can participate in activities I enjoy again including church worship. I had a great time with Advantage PT and the employees here. Thank you!

Before I started PT I was having a lot of trouble after surgery with my full movements. As soon as I walked into Advantage PT I was introduced to Stephan and Raskin who worked and pushed me every time I walked in that door. Today I am able to throw a ball with my kids and finally, feel that I can do my job as a UPS driver. Thank you everybody at Advantage PT!!

I cannot thank the staff here enough for the care I have received over the past 2 year. I started coming due to a neck injury then stayed for an Achilles injury. Once I was back and fully functional, I fractured my shoulder! It’s been a journey but I am back doing all the things I live due to the amazing staff and the care I have received! I am the poster perfect example of how well laser therapy works for inflammation and healing!

After sustaining a foot injury at home during the pandemic and seeing my doctor, I was referred to Advantage Physical Therapy for treatment. The injury initially limited my mobility, and I was concerned about a bone break or tendon tear. The team at Advantage PT came up with a comprehensive treatment plan to help with stretching, strengthening, and balance for my foot and lower body stability. Holly, Kerin, and Jamison are great to work with- answering any questions, coming up with varied exercises, and making it an enjoyable experience.

Came in here with crutches & a sad spirit of the thought of never running again due to my tendonitis.
Now May 21, 2021 I not only can run again, but my self-esteem is at is highest & at its best because not only did Miles & Trevor are fantastic at what they do, but because they believed in me when I didn’t even believe in my capabilities due to my fears of re-injuring.
Thank you, comes short to what they did for me. Two amazing therapists. Thank you a million times. Thank you to the entire staff for being super fantastic..
