After having a great deal of pain from hip arthritis, and having had a diagnosis of severe hip arthritis of both hips, i worked with Cathy Boppert from this agency. The program that she individually designed for me and carried out has helped me enormously. As this type of arthritis is progressive, i decided to have bi-lateral hip replacement. (both hips done at the same surgery)... i worked with Cathy before the surgery, and it has helped to facilitate my going into the surgery with much better function, form and alignment. the work that we did contributed a great deal to my rapid healing and recovery.. i worked again with Cathy post surgery, and the healing is amazing..The individualized program that she developed for me targeted the areas that needed strengthening, flexibility, range of motion, healing, etc. ... i continue to work with Cathy, post op, as i find the benefits from the work i do with her, extraordinary.... ive worked previously, with other PT centers, so, ive had experiences, & i find that working with Cathy, far supercedes any of the PT centers i have ever been to.. . has not only improved my physical body, but lifted my mind and spirit as well. she is very positive, encouraging, and compassionate, as well as knowledable & competent in the best techniques for providing the best ....no question, she is most highly reccommended......

5.0 star rating 9/9/2014 It is a true pleasure to share my experience at RISE Physical Therapy. I entered badly injured with a torn rotator cuff and was treated like family as I walked in the door. Chelsea the office manager was so warm and kind from the first call when I made my appt. To me the office is the first impression and she scored a 100%! Navid is an exception in how he treats his patients, with humor and care, kindness, and he is brilliant about the whole body and how to "fix" it. He makes you feel like you are the most important person in the clinic, and he never leaves a patient unattended to work on their own. As a patient you are totally supported and encouraged with great enthusiasm and meaningful uplifting quotes on the walls. Navids approach to PT encompasses the whole body and the benefits are amazing. He is also a huge community supporter, because for him it is about reaching out to improve lives and help others live the best life they can. He is a complete success and is well worth the time and commitment. I cannot imagine going anywhere else! Thank you Navid!!!

For context, I think its important you know this review is being written from Boulder, Colorado: I havent attended RISE Physical Therapy as a patient, so I cant speak to that experience, but I worked with Navid as his physical therapy aide and coworker. I havent met anyone as dedicated to his patients and his practice as Navid Hannanvash. Not only is he hardworking, intelligent, and fun, he also practices what he preaches. If he tells you to do a calf stretch for homework, you know damn well that Navid is doing his homework for himself as well. If you attend RISE PT, no doubt youll get the best care and attention possible in San Diego county. If you have any doubts, this sums Navid up in a nutshell : if you have an injury, pain, or ailment that is mysterious, he will lose sleep over it until he figures it out. Im not making this up. I had numerous conversations with Navid about patients where hed be brainstorming possible solutions and exercises that had come to him during sleepless nights. Thats dedication. Thats the level of love and care he has for his patients.

Im from out of town, but come to San Diego often to visit my cousin. Im a runner and one of my favorite things to do is run the beach every morning. On one of my many runs I experienced some hip discomfort. RISE was recommended to me, so I went in for an evaluation. I worked in the physical therapy industry many years ago and have some knowledge in different techniques. Dr. Navids approach to therapy is unique and encompasses everyday function. He is extremely knowledgeable and you can tell he is truly passionate about what he does. After only two sessions and take home exercises, I feel amazing and back to my normal self. I have to say the staff were so sweet and accommodating. Georgina always had a smile on her face and was extremely helpful with any questions I had. Definitely worth the drive from my cousins house in San Diego to Solana Beach. Was this review …? Useful Funny Cool

I strain my back just about every time I do any heavy lifting. The guys at RISE soon had it figured as a Sacroiliac joint disfunction (I didnt even know I had such a joint!). Ive been working on stretches and some strengthening exercises for about 3 weeks, and I can lift without aggravating the problem again. Feels great! Navid and his team exude expertise and confidence, and for a somewhat out of shape 60-year old the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. I also see some younger folks working with the team, so the business doesnt appear to be age-biased. Im always one-on-one with a trainer, and he pushes me to a comfortable limit each visit. The personalized videos for stretches and strengthening exercises are a welcome bonus. Overall - very professional, friendly, expert, personalized service. Cant get much better than that.

Navid and his staff go above and beyond everything you could ever expect from a Physical Therapy session. Their knowledge and experience stem from working with a dynamic range of athletes to grandparents. They not only treat you with top notch care, but they educate you on how your body works, helping you understand the functional science behind your injuries and the preventative measures you need to understand moving forward. As a former pro athlete I have suffered through my share of physical therapy, dreading the same old treatment at many other locations. At Rise Physical Therapy, I looked forward to what each new day would bring, leaving stronger, smarter and more confident with with every visit. Go to Rise and see for yourself! You will not be disapointed!

Dr. Navid and his staff, Cole & Alex, provide a very unique approach to physical therapy. After injuring myself in basketball repeatedly, they really assessed me physically and studied my movements to determine what I needed to strengthen/work on. They focused their attention on opening up my ankle/hip areas and provided the one on one physical therapy I needed to help strengthen my entire body so I could get back on the courts stronger and faster than ever before! Their offices are also conveniently located in the Solana Beach area which was perfect for me since my office was right in Cardiff. I have recommend Dr. Navid & RISE Physical Therapy to all of my teammates as well as to all my friends. Thanks for a job well done guys!

Dr. Navid is awesome! I am a dentist with lots of back, neck, and shoulder pain to work through. What he did to help me was take time to really understand the work demands on my body and figure out ways to relieve those strains. The stretches and exercises he came up with were individualized to my specific needs. Having never had physical therapy before, he was very patient in his approach and thoroughly explained the rationale for each movement. That is a sign of a great clinician. My entire experience with RISE has been great. From the easy to access location, friendly front office staff, and professional aid, I know I have found the right place for me and am believer! Two thumbs up!
