Here's What People Like You Are Saying About Intecore Physical Therapy

Shelly.T

"I have to say that Intecore Physical Therapy in Aliso Viejo has been my lifeline to maintaining my physical health. Been a patient for a while. I've had very successful sessions with great results. As an aging individual, I appreciate the time and care the staff takes in answering my questions. Jackie is very good with insurance. Quinn was very attentive to follow through with the required exercises and Lauren is so helpful going through all the scenarios needed to maintain muscle strength. I will miss all of them, but I know where to come if I'm ever in need of more physical therapy."

"I had been having significant lower back pain for more than a year. I finally went for an MRI and the diagnosis was desiccated, slipped and bulging discs in my lumbar spine. No wonder I was in pain. The worst was the mornings, when I first woke up. It took a few hours to get myself moving and ready to greet the day...

In my 30s and 40s I ran marathons, ultramarathons and mountain marathons.  I skied for many years. I also worked in roles that required a lot of travel and a lot of desk time. I stopped these activities (including working!) when I hit my 50s. I focused on swimming (long distance and open water swims) and began yoga, walking and Pilates. My back issues sometimes affected my flip turns and sometimes affected my yoga and Pilates. Since my plan is to continue these four activities into my old age, I decided to go see if PT would help reduce or eliminate my back pain.

My first appointment at Intecore was with Lauren, who evaluated me and interviewed me. She gave me 8 exercises to do that day. I did them for a week and upon my return I ran through my exercises with Michael who had helpful tips and a lot of encouragement to give me. When I met with Lauren on that visit, she asked how I was, I offered that my back seemed a bit better but that mornings were still rough. She suggested I do a few of the exercises on the bed before I got up for the day. I did this for about four days and then I noticed: I was not in pain. At all. So, pain relief happened 2 weeks and 4 days after I started PT.  I saw Lauren a third time two weeks later and teared up when I told her that my pain was gone and that I had expected to live an uncomfortable life from here on out and that my expectations are now changed: I expect to live an active and pain free life. Lauren celebrated with me and gave me 3 more exercises to do. The total current menu of exercises for me is 12.

I have one more visit with Lauren next week. I look forward to telling her that my pain continues to be abated and I look forward to a few more exercises.

For the first 2 weeks, I did all 8 exercises and then all 9 exercises each day. Now, I make sure I do at least 6 exercises each day. Sometimes I work all 6 at once. Sometimes I do all 12 and break it up to 6 in the AM and 6 in the PM. The nice thing is that I am never bored and I feel stronger in those areas that my exercises target. This month I took off 5 days from doing my PT exercises. This didn’t seem to have a negative effect on my pain abatement. But I must say that a day without my PT feels like an incomplete day. I am a PT believer. If you do the work, it works! 

Here’s how PT is the gift that keeps giving. My swimming is faster (thank you, core strength). My yoga/Pilates is better because I have greater strength and improved balance due to stronger legs. My walking is more fun because my posture is better. The final gift is that my newly found core strength has started to redefine my waist. NICE!"

"Everyone on staff has been amazing! They care not only for my physical well being, but they genuinely care about the person in front of them. They listen and respond to everything I've said during my rehab. While I hope I never have to come back, I know in a heartbeat I'll be well taken care of!"

Elie.A

"I have been coming to Intecore Physical Therapy for years. They always do a great job, I love it!"

Blake.C

"Josh, Claire and Kristina are a dream recovery team! After multiple shoulder dislocations, I required an open shoulder surgery and was told it would be a 6-12 month recovery.

I couldn't move my arm for the first month. After that, Josh had me moving and got my range of motion and strength to the best it's been in years. The team is fun, professional and effective!

Intecore PT is a great place, 10 stars out of 10!"

Sharon.T

"This is my second time choosing Intecore Aliso Viejo as my Physical Therapy Professionals. I entered with a fractured shoulder and a fractured hip, using a walker and very little use of my arm. For each and every issue that came up during my recovery especially when I returned to work part time, this amazing staff had the perfect solution leading to my recovery and life. This amazing team is very professional, fun, easy to talk and laugh with, and become friends. I am grateful for Intecore Aliso Viejo and each staff member; Heather, Quinn, Jackie, and Lauren."

"From day one the front desk, to Curtis and Pat and all the physical therapist aides, they all seem to really care about you and your health problems. They develop a course of exercises to improve your specific needs to attain good health. All the employees here are considerate and willing to help on these exercises. They offer insight on how to improve your technique and when to increase your workload without causing pain. If we extend too much and I feel too much soreness the next day, on my next visit we back off until the soreness is gone. They also work on setting up your schedule to fit your needs."

"I really like everybody working at Intecore PT. Everybody is really friendly and accommodating. They talk with the patients and ask great questions. They help people feel good and relaxed. My neck feels so much better after treatment, I'm in less pain and have greater mobility. Thank you for all of your help!"

"Great experience overall. Very educated and kind team. Before PT I had a hard time getting my balance and impact work controlled, now I am confident to do both!"

"I have been coming to physical therapy here at Intecore since it was Foothill Ranch PT. I have come for various needs including my knee and most recently post shoulder surgery. All of the staff are great, they are friendly and knowledgeable. The physical therapy treatment that I have received has helped in my recovery. I would recommend Intecore Physical Therapy to others."

I believe that the various sophisticated exercises have saved me from the terrible back and neck pain. I am really thankful and appreciative of the kindness and helpfulness of all the staff at Intecore. The front desk girl is always pleasing and helpful. Thank you all of you guys, especially my dear Heather."

"I have been coming here for many years and without fail every time has been an amazing experience. Every time I have been here I set goals for myself to get better and they help me reach them. I have had six right shoulder surgeries and every time I had my goals reached and they listened and helped when I had concerns. Thank you everyone for all that you have done for me. I can”t express how much it means!"

"This is my second round of physical therapy at Intecore Physical Therapy. First I dealt with serious hip pain and eventually got a hip replacement. The wonderful staff at Intecore took such good care of me, teaching me effective exercises and impactful manual. I was motivated to follow their directions and my diligence paid off!

Recently I injured myself on a hike and didn't wait so long to come in because I know how much they can help people heal. It's reassuring to know their amazing physical therapists and assistants are here to help! Knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate!"
