G3 Physical Therapy & Wellness Center - Encinitas, California

I have received physical therapy at numerous facilities in the last 20+ years. G3, by far, exceeds any of my previous experience with physical therapy. The facilitation of a full recovery is enhanced by the skill, knowledge and experience of the therapists & the attention to detail by the p.t. assistants and aides. In addition, the procedure of spending 30 minutes with a therapist and 30+ minutes stretching and exercising with an assistant are invaluable. In addition, after receiving instruction and guidance, I have practiced many of the stretches and exercises at home. Finally, the welcoming atmosphere, the friendliness and congeniality of all the staff, & the cleanliness of the facility and the upbeat music make for a very rewarding and successful experience.

G3 has given me back the ability to be athletic. I came in needing some help in multiple areas.They educated me with simple, practical steps and exercises on a daily time line of 10 minutes. Their goal was to teach me to know my body and how to help it so I wouldn’t need monthly adjustments. I did the work and now two years later, I’m rock climbing, surfing, and running. I’m definitely stronger! I know what to do when my body feels tight. I highly recommend this practice and their methods!

G3 has an incredible partner in my recovery from near fatal injuries, with 12 broken bones (and three surgeries) and a massive concussion, received when a pickup truck hit me while I was using a crosswalk. Dr. Alex Cerna and his team of aides/interns and PT doctoral students have so supportive, helpful and patient. I been able to return to a nearly normal life because of these wonderful people. They have helped me to improve continuously, encouraging me to put in the hard work to get back to nearly 100% strength and mobility, and soon all the way back! The front desk people have been great too, helping me navigate insurance and billing, and scheduling throughout the past 18 months. I strongly recommend G3 and Applied Functional Science (AFS), the approach that G3 follows. I know I would not be as well recovered if I had gone anywhere else.

My 15 year old son severely sprained his ankle during a competitive club volleyball tournament. G3 not only rehabbed his ankle but taught him stretching and strengthening exercises that he continues to do before games and practices. Additionally, G3 recommended the right ankle braces for him to effectively prevent future sprains. After seeing how well the braces work, many of his team mates now wear them to prevent injuries. I highly recommend G3 to heal, but also to help you prevent future injuries.

I’ve got about 3 months of PT to go. I’ve only had two sessions here at G3, and the results I’ve seen already have been very surprising.

I recently had labrum repair surgery, as well as undergoing recovery from a rotator cuff tear.

I’m working with Peter Diaz, and clearly G3 hires knowledgeable and professional staff, because as I mentioned, the results have been shockingly good for just a few days. It feels like somebody sprayed
WD-40 lubricant in my shoulder!! I highly suggest G3, and especially the Physical therapist Peter.

G3 has been a wonderful experience! I was having severe back and leg pain from sciatica and my doctor referred me to G3. There was some sort of mix up with my insurance and I was told I would not be covered. Rather than letting me leave in pain, G3 offered to honor my copay price with or without my insurance. They genuinely just wanted to see me healed and healthy. Treatments were always gentle and effective. They have an amazing, friendly, and knowledgeable staff that made me laugh and kept me comfortable. Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend G3!

Highly recommend Richelle R. (PT, DPT). She initiated an insightful assessment and produced an effective manual (table work) and physical therapy (floor work) plan with early, steady and reassuring results. In addition to direct work with me, she directs G3's talented and enthusiastic team on the floor who also monitor and step in to guide me through Richelle's floor therapy work sequence as posted on the whiteboard. They, in constant communication with Richelle, observe and correct me in my stretches and equipment use. This studio is upbeat and has a perfect balance of professionalism, personality, teamwork and positive energy. The process used here is efficient, and I was able to get an initial assessment appointment quickly.

I started going to G3 about 4-5 years ago for neck/back pain. I saw a lot of improvement with both my lower back and neck after implementing the various exercises/stretches I learned at G3. I started going to G3 again this Spring for pelvic floor/lower back issues related to pregnancy. I have learned so much from Sandra -- she has taught me so many exercises throughout my pregnancy and I'm so grateful for all the pelvic floor knowledge she has passed along!
