Everyone was super welcoming and positive with their patients. It is an open space inside of an LA Fitness so it can feel a little vulnerable at times - I’d imagine even more so if you had a more severe injury than I, since I only hurt my hand - but the providers are so encouraging and friendly that it never felt uncomfortable. My provider Jesseca, at the Oceanside location, is amazing! She was flexible, encouraging, and explained everything readily and with expertise. I’m super happy I ended up at spine and sport!

I have been helped at the Oceanside, Vista Way, location for over a year for multiple joint issues. All the personnel there have been very professional and pleasant. I have been helped consistently by Alivia for close to a year now and she has been wonderful. She is incredibly professional and a joy to work with. She is able to adjust the exercises depending on your pain level, your specific needs, and she really explains well and listens to you. If an exercise is not helping that day she has multiple ways of adjusting it to get the full effect. Her care has helped me immensely with pain and mobility management. To top this, she is a very calm, patient, fun and warm person to work with, with which is important when you are in pain. I look forward to coming to PT instead of dreading it, which I appreciate very much!

The therapists at Oceanside S&S are the absolute BEST! I’ve been “fortunate” to be treated for shoulder, neck, hip and balance issues. They excel in every aspect. Especially love the versatility for land & water therapy.

My review is specific to the Oceanside location ONLY. The location in Encinitas is crap. My experience in Oceanside has been exemplary. I cannot recommend this location enough. My therapist Brandon is outstanding. He and his tech David work together seamlessly to provide high quality care

I stopped in at the location that I had an appointment set this morning and was told that my appointment was at another location. I was told that I would have a 10 minute grace period if I could make the 30 minute drive to the other location. I was given incorrect information on where the Mission Avenue location was located. I was 5 minutes beyond the 10-minute Grace period. So they would not accept me at the Mission Avenue location. I was told I would have to reschedule. When I explained my situation to two people at two different front desks, it was dismissed with a shrug of the shoulders. It's like they didn't give a hoot. Now I have to wait another 3 weeks beyond the three weeks that I already waited to get into physical therapy treatments. If there's a copay for my visits, I will not pay for this one. As a matter of fact I should charge Spine and Sport for the gas that I spent driving up and down Oceanside dealing with a mistake that was not mine. Thank you. David Churchill 4 days later: I just looked at the "heartfelt" response to the negative review prior to mine. It was exactly like mine! A canned response mirrored the attitude I received.

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.
