I am currently receiving physical therapy from Julian at Focus Physical Therapy for my knee. Julian is the best! The approach at Focus Physical Therapy is quite different from other physical therapy facilities. They assess your specific problem and then perform hands on physical manipulation of the problem area and surrounding muscle groups to help realign muscles, joints and tissue.
This hands on treatment ranges from about 20 minutes to 30 minutes of your session. They then select exercises targeted to your exact issue not just generic exercises. Many of the exercises are designed to strengthen adjacent muscles and to retrain your body to articulate joint movement correctly.
Just after knee surgery for an insufficiency fracture and a minor meniscus tear, I attended physical therapy sessions at another physical therapy organization last year. While therapy there did help to strengthen my knee, it was not successful at eliminating my knee pain. I had pretty much given up on my knee pain ever going away. That is when I was introduced to Focus Physical Therapy by my wife who was attending therapy for her shoulder issue. She assured me that Julian was different and that I should try physical therapy again.
My pain is not totally gone yet, but I have seen remarkable reduction in pain with each passing physical therapy session. Because of the progress I am making, I am confident that my pain will be eliminated by the time I finish my therapy sessions.
Try Focus Physical Therapy in Rancho Santa Margarita. You will not be disappointed.
I seldom write reviews, but I felt that I really needed to write this review so that I can help others who may be in search of quality physical therapy. I have undergone physical therapy three times including this current time. My first experience close to ten years ago was just alright.
I am currently suffering from frozen shoulder due to a bad fall. I had five sessions at another physical therapy clinic here in Rancho Santa Margarita, where I was NOT getting better. I then decided to switch and try Focus Physical Therapy per recommendation by an acupuncturist, Dr. Ghaffarian. What a difference! I have now had four sessions with Julian Manrique of Focus Physical Therapy and it has made a world of difference in my condition. I am rapidly getting better with each session. From the very first visit, I knew that Julian was a different type of physical therapist. He is a hands on guy who works with the patient for nearly 30-minutes before you are turned over to an aide to help you perform the exercises and undergo heat or cold pack treatments, electrical stimulation, etc.
During my initial evaluation session with Julian, he did a deep tissue massage and manipulated my shoulders using both his hands and equipment. After just that first session I felt far better than when I had walked in the door and far far better than after undergoing five sessions of physical therapy at the other clinic! The treatment at that other clinic in RSM was a joke. The therapist just massaged me for 1 minute then left me with the aide. The aide would quickly teach me the exercises then leave me alone to perform those exercises. Both the therapist and aide where nowhere around to check on me to see whether I was doing the exercises correctly. I felt I was better off doing my exercises at home since I was being left alone anyway. I can understand if there are many patients but I was the only patient four out of my five visits and there were only two of us in my one visit out of the five. I was very discouraged I thought all physical therapy clinics operated the same until I met Julian Manrique of Focus Physical Therapy. I call Julian a magician! After Julian worked on me the first time, we tested my range of motion and my arm strength. Wow, my range of motion and my arm strength had already improved a great deal in just half a session! My husband who came with me to my first session witnessed the whole thing and was himself astounded.
Julian and Focus Physical Therapy is the real deal. I believe I have found a physical therapist for life. I believe my frozen shoulder condition will be resolved very quickly with Julian, and if I ever need to undergo physical therapy again in the future I will definitely choose Julian of Focus Physical Therapy. He is simply the BEST! Don't waste your time at other physical therapy clinics. Try Julian of Focus Physical Therapy and you won’t ever regret it! You’ll be glad and thankful you did.
