RISE Physical Therapy - Imperial Beach, California

My experience working with Dr. Lena at Rise Physical Therapy had a huge impact in my recovery from total knee replacement and my overall health.
Dr. Lena has gone above and beyond in working with me through my healing journey. Due to my auto immune disease, I was a challenging patient as my body didn't respond to traditional therapy, however, with Dr Lena’s vast knowledge of the whole body and clinical skills she was able to consistently modify my therapy plan to help my body heal.
Dr Lena wasn't just focused on treating my knee but was truly invested in helping me heal totally (mind, body and soul.)
She was genuine in her compassion and empathy for me as I struggled through some rough set backs.
It is rare to find someone who not only is highly skilled but is also very compassionate, fun to work with and committed to your whole well being.
I have worked in the health care field for over three decades and I can honestly say Dr Lena is the best of the best.
Thank you for all that you have done for me!!

I also want to mention Zayra as she was always so welcoming and worked with me to ensure my insurance and payment information was up to date.

I just finished my last day of physical therapy earlier today.I must say it was a great experience and I am very pleased with the results. When I first started I could barely walk my feet and calves hurt so bad. That all changed thanks to RISE in Imperial Beach and the wonderful staff they have over there. My therapist Noreen and Brittany were the best. They were very professional, knowledgeable and skilled at their jobs. They took their time with me and helped me recover quicker than I thought possible. I also encountered Michelle and Fernando and both of them were great also. The one on one attention that was given to me helped so much. The whole establishment was great from entrance with Anna the most pleasant receptionist ever to feeling great, walking straight and exiting.

I injured my knee backpacking (patellar tendinitis) and I was experiencing pain and weakness. I worked with Lena and she has helped me so much! My knee feels more stable and the sharp pain is gone! She is always so helpful and patient while also pushing me to always work hard for my recovery. I highly recommend her!

I’m so grateful for Rise PT! They were recommended from a friend and they did not disappoint! Anna at the front very friendly! Noreen, the physical therapist, was great! She was very friendly and felt like I had known her for years! I also worked with Brittany, one of their PT students, who did an amazing job! 6 weeks later and my back feels great! It was bittersweet having my last day!

It sounds cliche to say, but this is a great physical therapy office. I felt comfortable going right away. I enjoy how my exercises are individualized. I love how they remember me and my concerns at each visit. I have full trust in them and in turn I don't hide anything from them when it comes to my physical therapy needs. I doubted my own progress at first but they help me see I can get past my concerns and be back at 100%. They listen and they genuinely care. I appreciate this office and the staff.
