My left shoulder was causing extreme pain. I could barely move my arm. I went to orthopedic Dr. and had Xrays, I was told I had arthritis due to injured rotator cuffs. I made an appointment at Oceanside Profesional PT and it gave me hope that I will regain use of my arm. I've been working with... Russell and the plan seems to be working well.read more
claudia C.
Very good care. Professional, clean and inviting clinic. Love all staff. PTs and very knowledgeable and as I am a PT myself, I am strict when finding someone to treat me and all my injuries. Glad I found them!
Taylor S.
Couldn’t ask for a better PT place. Everyone here is incredible and welcoming. Aneeza at the front desk is so sweet and immediately made me feel at home. My PTs Megan & Casey are amazing and have been helping me for weeks. I genuinely look forward to coming here. Highly recommend!!
Margaret C.
This place is immaculate, the staff friendly and professional. Treatment is really helping. Highly recommend!!!
Teddy T.
I tore my ACL and Meniscus and was referred to by my doctor to go to Professional PT. The Oceanside location did an amazing job with my pre-hab, along with my post surgery rehab. I worked mainly with Kimberly Chan who was always helpful, supportive, and attentive throughout my recovery. Kimberly... showed exceptional professionalism and mannerism during my time at Professional PT. I could not express more praise for the work they did for me throughout my recovery. They provided workouts specific to my recovery timeline and progression and I did not feel rushed nor slowed down throughout my recovery. I could not refer Professional PT more to someone, if needed. The rest of the team deserves recognition as well, who although I was not working specifically with, always made time to help me.read more

Her vast knowledge of physical therapy and rehabilitation is evident in the personalized treatment plans that she creates for each patient. Jessica is friendly, approachable, and always... willing to go the extra mile to ensure that her patients receive the best possible care.I have been working with Jessica for a few weeks now, and I have already seen remarkable improvements in my condition. She motivates me to work harder and provides helpful feedback to improve my technique and form. Her positive attitude and encouragement are contagious, and I always leave our sessions feeling energized and motivated.Overall, I highly recommend Jessica as a physical therapist. If you're looking for a skilled and supportive therapist who will help you achieve your goals, look no further than Jessica!read more

After suffering a grade 3 separated shoulder, my surgeon recommended doing physical therapy instead of surgery.While I'm still not convinced he was 100% correct with his decision, I am convinced that the people at Professional Physical Therapy are top notch. When I first walked in I was a bit... apprehensive about "physical therapy" and the effectiveness of it. The staff was very warm and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They were extremely attentive and treated me very well. I worked with Kim and Kristian who were fantastic and engaging on multiple levels. (while I didn't work with Megan directly, I could tell she is extremely knowledgeable and a wonderful Physical Therapist as well from how her patients were responding to her) I went from someone who could barely raise my arm to having full range of motion under their watchful guidance. Kim is an absolute taskmaster (wink) that knows all the right buttons to push to get you motivated and moving in the right direction. She is an credit to her profession that I cannot recommend highly enough. Supremely personable and fantastic with her technique, you should consider yourself lucky to have the opportunity to work with her.If I am in the unfortunate position of needing physical therapy once again in my life, there is no place I'd rather be and no others I'd want to work with for my personal health. Thanks guys! A++++(Don't forget to try Greek Town in RVC! Opa!)-Constantineread more
Mo K.
Good people and good exercises for good healing. I just want to commend Jessica Tau. She is absolutely the best therapist I have been with. She understands what needs to be done and she helps to the best of her ability which is excellent.Besides that her eyes are everywhere. She watches not only... myself but others at the same time and corrects any thing that they might be doing incorrectly. That is a great therapist.read more

Great experience at the desk with Aneeza who was very friendly and helpful in completing the initial forms. My PT person was Kimmy who was awesome!! Christian who assisted was excellent also.

Donald S.
I recently injured my back and suffered through excruciating pain just trying to stand straight. Jessica, the Physical Therapist was instrumental in helping me recover quickly by prescribing specific stretches and exercises to strengthen the muscles that support proper alignment. Misalignment... occurs when your weight is not distributed properly to your load bearing joints like your hips and knees. The staff was knowledgeable and very accommodating on short notice. I highly recommend Professional Physical Therapy of Oceanside.read more

D P
Outstanding care! The entire staff was amazing that I worked with- from the welcoming at the door by Ms. Ali, all the way through my final visit. Everyone was so friendly and easy to work with. My PT's name is Kimmy - she treated me phenomenally! She made sure I received all the right care I needed... and that I was challenged enough to keep growing while getting better. If I ever need PT in the future, this will be my first stop. Thank you Kimmy, Jess, Megan, Liz and the entire crew!read more

I went to Professional PT first in Sep. 2024 after a total knee replacement of my left knee. At that time, I met Jessica P.W. and Jess T. both are exceptional physical therapist who is dedicated to helping their patients attain their goals. Both have vast knowledge of physical therapy and... rehabilitation which is evident in the personalized treatment plans that they create for each patient. Both are professional, courteous, and empathetic to my needs. Not only do you get PT there but both were Chicken soup for the mind with their wit, humor, and intelligent conversation! I would like to Thank them and their staff at that time, Zoey, Liz and Eric which were also instrumental in my full recovery! Fast forward one year and one month and I am back at professional for rehab of a TKR on my right knee! Thank You to Jessica Paparella-Wachtel DPT, PT. who got me in quickly after my Home PT was finished. I have had four sessions so far and the knee is doing awesome! Review to be continued once my therapy has concluded.read more
