Vital Fortitude Rehab and Performance

Shoulder Hero! I threw out my shoulder and was in constant pain. Evan was amazing! He quickly diagnosed the problem and created a personalized therapy plan. Evan explained everything clearly and made sure I understood the exercises. They were also very encouraging throughout the recovery process. Thanks to Evan's expertise, my shoulder is now pain-free and I have full mobility again. I highly recommend Evan to anyone suffering from a shoulder injury.

I was in quite a bit of pain when I reached out and after just the first visit my pain was substantially reduced. Dr. Johnson was great to work with. Friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about his work.

Let me tell you about my incredible physical therapist. I met Dr. Evan through work during some injury screenings he was doing at F45 North Park, I was dealing with knee pain post-half marathon. I was pretty reluctant to dive into physical therapy because I didn't want to put the brakes on my workouts, especially with an Ironman 70.3 looming ahead. But Evan totally understood where I was coming from. He broke down what was going on with my knees and how we could tackle it without sidelining my training but rather focusing on strengthening the right muscles. Now, I'm running, longer and faster without my knees acting up. He's not just a pro; he's also become a solid friend. I'm days away from crushing my first Ironman, and my knees feel like they could take on anything because of him. Whenever something else pops up, I know he's got my back to help me stay on track. If you're in need of a PT who's not only top-notch but also someone you can really connect with, he's your guy!

I am writing, to express my utmost appreciation and admiration for Evan, a physical therapist I had the pleasure of meeting at a local farmers market in Point Loma. From the moment I approached his stand, where a banner proudly proclaimed "Ask a Physical Therapist," I knew I had found a gem. His genuine warmth and enthusiasm immediately put me at ease, and little did I know that this chance encounter would lead to a life-changing experience. At the time, I was seeking guidance on healthy lifting practices at the gym. Having undergone a full spinal fusion at the age of 16, I had previously been advised by other physical therapists to refrain from lifting weights altogether. However, deep down, I believed that lifting was crucial for maintaining a healthy and functional spine. And this is where Evan's expertise and unwavering support came into play. Evan took the time to truly understand my unique situation and needs. He listened attentively as I explained my desire to incorporate lifting into my fitness routine. While others had discouraged me, Evan saw the potential and shared my belief that lifting could be beneficial for me. Together, we embarked on a journey to develop a program that not only suited my present circumstances but also would serve as a lifelong guide. What sets Evan apart is his commitment to his clients and his open-door policy. Despite now living in Japan, I have always felt comfortable reaching out to him with any questions or concerns. Evan's dedication to helping people for life, rather than simply having repeat customers, is truly remarkable. He genuinely cares about the well-being of his clients and goes above and beyond to ensure their success and long-term health. Through his guidance and expertise, Evan has empowered me to take control of my own physical well-being. He has equipped me with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain a healthy functioning spine through proper lifting techniques. I am forever grateful for his unwavering support and encouragement throughout this process. In a world where exceptional healthcare professionals can be hard to find, Evan truly stands out. His passion for his work, his commitment to ongoing learning, and his genuine care for his clients make him one in a million. I couldn't be happier with the care and guidance he has provided me, and I wholeheartedly recommend Evan to anyone in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable physical therapist. Thank you, Evan, for being an extraordinary professional and making a profound impact on my life. Your unwavering support and commitment to my well-being will never be forgotten. Sincerely, Heather.
