I have had therapy at PRN for my knee, shoulder and hand. I have worked with all but one of the therapists and have had excellent results. I highly recommend their hands on treatment, and pleasant atmosphere.

I've been seeing Kayla Ferguson, DPT at this Encinitas location for over 8 months now, treating two separate areas of my body (pretty severe, long-standing injuries). This review is going to sound a bit over the top, but honestly Kayla and the team here at PRN are outstanding. From my easy first encounter on the phone scheduling an evaluation, to treatments with Kayla (every single one has been exceptional), to the Techs helping me with exercising correctly, my entire experience has been great -- for 8 months now. This location of PRN has a team who is caring, expects high caliber service from themselves, is supportive, warm and encouraging with clients, and also with each other. I believe the culture of excellence they have created has inspired all of them to be better therapists and therefore the treatments I've received have been excellent and effective. I have been able to schedule with just one therapist (Kayla Ferguson) almost exclusively for my entire treatment. That was my preference due to the sensitivity and complexity of my injuries. Kayla is an insightful problem-solver who never gives up on me no matter the "low" days. Every visit she listens thoroughly and remembers everything from last visits. She offers practical solutions to allow me to get on with my life while giving me simple exercises to improve my body and help eliminate pain. I have so appreciated that Kayla was sensitive to my body's particular reactions to treatments and exercises. I have never felt pushed beyond what I could handle. Instead I've felt respected and listened to and worked with to improve my body. This has also helped me to learn how to better work with my body and care for myself (so valuable for me). Now, 8 months later, I am significantly improved and I am hopeful for more improvements in the coming months. I completely credit Kayla's expertise, and well-trained mind for my improvements! Just a word about the Techs. Every single Tech that has guided me through my exercises after my treatment with Kayla has been awesome. Johnathan, Debbie, Javier and Cole make a strong team. They all are patient and knowledgeable. They gently remind me of posture and correct execution of my exercises. They all check in regularly to make sure the exercises are not causing pain and keep me encouraged and positive. I definitely feel cared about and feel like I am an individual, not just "a body" coming in for therapy. A few general observations. The driveway getting up to the clinic and down again is a bit hair-raising! The clinic itself is a bit on the older side (and gets a LOT of use), but the staff is scrupulous about cleaning protocols. I've been watching them for 8 months and have NEVER seen them miss cleaning a single table or changing pillow covers, etc. Plus there is an air filter running in the exercise room too. I do strongly dislike the fluorescent lighting in the clinic. I find it a bit creepy and depressing. It would be wonderful to have natural light coming in -- but that is a minor annoyance -- just me. The team is 100% respectful of your time. I've never been kept waiting for an appointment in my entire 8 months of treatments. So bottom line? If you need physical therapy come here!! You'll be feeling better soon and grateful to have found this wonderful team of healers.

Recommend Laura Greene Occupational Hand Therapist. She is very thorough with everything she does, from giving you all types of therapy to home exercise programs. She takes her time when working on your hands and explains everything she's doing. She's a real gem, not many like her around. So fortunate to have her in Encinitas.

Commonly Asked Questions & What to Expect During Your PT Treatment

Do I need to see a doctor first?

Thanks to direct access, we can see any patient without a referral from a doctor for an initial evaluation. If our therapists believe that physical therapy is a good option for your needs, we can work with you and your physician to obtain a prescription for continued care. If your diagnosis requires additional expertise, we can also refer you to a specialist to handle your care.

What do I need to bring to my first visit?

For your first visit, be sure to bring the following items:

  • Prescription for physical therapy from your referring physician (if applicable)
  • Government issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license)
  • Insurance card(s)
  • Patient forms, which can be downloaded from this site in PDF format. Print and fill out the forms completely and bring them during your first visit.
  • Patients who are minors (under 18 years of age) must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for their first visit.

What should I wear to physical therapy?

Please wear or bring comfortable athletic/workout clothing to change into. This includes shorts or sweatpants, a t-shirt and sneakers. Your attire should also allow easy access to your injured area for treatment by your physical therapist.

What can I expect during my first visit?

During your first visit, your therapist will perform a thorough examination, in which he or she will review your physician’s recommendations, examine the problem area, ask questions about your injury or pain, develop an effective treatment plan for rehabilitation, discuss their findings with you and answer any questions you may have. Your treatment plan may include hands-on, manual therapy, a customized exercise program, stretching and physical agents such as heat, ice, ultrasound and electrical stimulation. Your physical therapist may also recommend a home program to further assist in your treatment.

How long will my appointment take?

Your first appointment will typically last from 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on your injury. Following appointments usually last between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on the treatment. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of your appointment for check-in and paperwork. You can also download our patient forms, which can be filled out beforehand and brought with to your appointment.

How often will I need to come?

The frequency of your treatment will depend on your physician’s prescription and the plan of care developed by your physical therapist. Most patients require treatment two to three times per week. The duration of treatment will depend on your injury and personal progress. Your physical therapist will discuss this with you following your initial exam and subsequently as you progress.

What if I need to cancel an appointment?

If you are unable to attend an appointment, we require at least 24 hours' notice. However, we do understand than an occasional emergency or illness may arise, in which case you may have to cancel your appointment closer to your scheduled time.

Do you accept insurances? Will insurance cover my therapy?

We accept most major insurances including Medicare, Tricare and workers’ compensation plans. Before your initial visit, we will verify in and out of network benefits with your insurance company. The cost of therapy is determined by the benefits of your insurance plan, including the deductible and co-pay, or patient percentage. We are happy to check with your insurance company to determine the terms of your coverage. Payment for patient responsibility is due at the time of service.
