I would give Adam 10 stars if it were possible! My husband came to Adam after going to 3 other physical therapists for balance/walking issues, and seeing no progress. Adam is extremely knowledgeable regarding physical anatomy. A tailored program was customized, explaining the plan while focusing on the root of the problem. Each week we are seeing progress and improvement, which has given my husband a new hopeful outlook. In addition to listening to the client, Adam goes the extra mile with his ability to think "outside the box". He is patient, encouraging, and caring. We are extremely grateful to have been referred to Adam, and now are striving for my husband to enjoy a better quality of life.

I started visiting Adam after surgery for a torn Achilles and could not have had a better experience despite the severity of my injury. The recovery plan he designed was tailored to my needs and goals for therapy. He constantly listened to my body and adapted the plan when necessary. Trust was a big factor for me, especially since this was my first major injury, and I never doubted him throughout the entire process.

I highly recommend Adam and his team, especially for those new to therapy. Adam takes the time to explain everything in detail, making it a great learning experience about the human body.

Simply the BEST physical therapy experience I have ever had. Adam and his staff are each Doctors of Physical Therapy. Adam is patient and knowledgeable; he takes time to ensure that the you fully understand the root cause of the specific issue and detailed instructions for the follow on exercise plan. Best of all, you are 1:1 with your therapist the entire appointment!

Working with Adam helped me get back to enjoying a visit with my grandchildren. When I got to CA, I had to be pushed through the airport to my gate. I was in severe back pain. I could never have walked the distance. Adam listened intently and put together a program to help me get back to walking without pain. He is professional, knowledgeable and also fun to work with. I continue with the workouts he recommended, and feel much stronger. All I can say is “Thank You”. I feel so much better. Pat Rogers

I've gone to many physical therapist for my low back pain in the past and never got any relief. Adam at Soma Physical Therapy was by far the BEST experience I've had. He is very knowledgeable, made sure I understood the reasoning behind everything we did, and was able to resolve my pain within 6 weeks. I am now able to go back to the gym, run, and golf without any issue. I cannot recommend him enough!

I used Adam for PT following a first knee surgery then a second knee surgery. Adam is very thorough and spends a dedicated hour with you; no hand offs to others or leaving you on your own. He is very good on modifying exercises to fit your recovery progress or particular physical challenges that might arise. After each visit he sends a new exercise routine that includes pictures and/or videos. I would definitely use Adam again if the need arises.

Adam is the BEST physical therapist I've ever been to and I have been to many over the years. I saw Adam for my neck, shoulder and chronic back issues and I am happy to say that I am moving freely now and able to continue the exercises at home. He is extremely professional, kind and great explaining the "why" behind the exercises. I would recommend Soma physical therapy to anyone in need, and this is the first time that I've ever felt strongly enough about a physical therapist's skills to post a review/recommendation.

Stellar Physical Therapist
I recently had two, lower back surgeries which required physical therapy as part of my recovery. I was recommended to Adam Pavlovich, PhD of Physical Therapy, who has his own private practice, Soma Physical Therapy, which is located very close to Carlsbad in San Marcos.

When I started out-patient PT, I had no idea how lucky I was to become Adam’s patient. Adam is professional, friendly, explains goals well, is extremely knowledgeable about human physiology, and an expert at creating a custom plan of exercises to meet the needs of each patient. He is very organized and PT sessions start and end on time. In the past, my physical therapy practices began with a different therapist for each session, and it was easy to lose the continuity of what I needed to work on or what was done in the past. Adam works with each patient exclusively and is super careful about monitoring progress and consistency. My PT sessions with Adam have started with carefully chosen workouts and have slowly increased so I have not once become too sore, but have gently increased both in movement and range. He is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and does personal training with people who have a history of injury, such as back pain or shoulder issues, and want to work out without worry of causing re-injury. Adam accepts insurance (with my Medicare and Supplemental insurance I do not even have a co-pay.) Soma Physical Therapy is located at 1740 La Costa Meadows Drive, and the phone number is 760-516-8900. Adam provides free, 20 minute phone or in person consults, if you have questions.

It is rare to find a professional who meets all your needs, and Adam is such an exception to the rule, I felt compelled to share his qualifications with Google neighbors.
