How many of you see people floppin' around the floor on the foam roller for a half an hour at your gym? Or maybe you do this yourself only to find out the next day you are stiff as a board and have to mobilize. Do you shock absorb with your hips or your knees? If you're having knee pain when you run, you might be using your knees excessively for shock absorption.

Great atmosphere. Feels like you're at your regular gym instead of a sterile cold medical office.
Came here for some chronic issues, both for knee and neck pain. Did an intro session of diagnosis then each session after were a set of main exercises with a few auxiliary ones throw in to keep up the variety.
Handy online platform for doing at home exercises, that I probably should have utilized more, but that's on me.
For each exercise the staff did a good job of making sure you're doing the movement correctly and making sure its targeting the right areas. Had a few that tweaked on my knee at

I am dealing with serious lower leg nerve damage and physical therapy will be very important in maximizing my recovery.
Omar and his team have shown me that I am in the right place.
They are knowledgeable, serious about their commitment and create an enjoyable environment .
I don’t think I could be in better hands.
They have my unconditional recommendation.

At my surgeons recommendation, I've tried three different physical therapists to find the right fit. Wow, this place rocks, quite literally! From the upbeat music, to all the friendly faces, they are bar none far more than a head above the rest. At the door, you're greeting by doting Doreen with a Hello, young lady! Since I'm pushing 60, it's an enormous ego boost in itself. Then, you've got the super-friendly, endlessly patient, interchangeable therapists assistants, Kyle and Luis. Everything is overseen by owner, Dr Omar Flores, who presides over the open floor plan and activities like a captain

I just finished a series of sessions for my injured shoulder at Via Real PT and I wholeheartedly give them 5 stars for a variety of categories:
1. The entire team is welcoming, professional, and there to help me feel better: Doreen at reception, co-owners Bill & Omar, and their assistants, Kyle & Luis.
2. The facility has everything and everything is super clean and in excellent condition.
3. They understood my issue and how to treat it.
4. They resolved the problem.
5. I just received a detailed training schedule that they prepared to ensure that I maintain and even improve the level of conditioning

Dr. Flores is phenomenal! Not only is he a wonderfully skilled clinician, he is also an incredible strength and conditioning coach. Being a more "mature" runner, I'm often fighting off injuries. But, thanks to Omar, he's helping me stay strong and healthy - and motivated! The rest of the staff is great too. The P.T. techs are kind, professional, and always enthusiastic to help me get through my workouts. And Doreen the receptionist is friendly, polite, and very helpful. I'm grateful for Via Real and will continue to go there, whether I'm injured or just want to stay healthy and fit.

This was the best Physical Therapy by far that I have ever had. From the moment you walk in the front office you feel welcome here. Omar, Kathy, and Kyle make you feel like family- they all take good care of you. The atmosphere there is one that encourages and inspirer's you to heal. The way they all work together as a team it is impressive. They don't treat you like just another case file. They really do care about you and will do everything they can to help you get better.
Omar is an awesome leader of the group the way he is able to observe all of the therapy and comment when needed. And still

When I came in to see Omar, I crawled in. Within 6 months, he had me doing lifts that I hadn't done since I was a high school. I feel stronger and more mobile than I have felt in years. And if my back ever starts acting up, a quick trip to Omar makes for a speedy recovery.
I had previously done physical therapy before, but the experience wasn't good. They simply gave me stretches that I was already doing, so I was hesitant to try PT again. But I am glad I did! Via Real was a night and day difference. The knowledge, care, and hands on approach of the staff at Via Real is why I drive

I can not speak highly enough about Via Real. In Feb 2018 I broke my femur and shattered my knee cap! I was in Colorado when this happened and did several months of pt before returning home to Carp. When I was finally good enough to return to California, I called 15 physical therapy offices. Omar Flores was the only one who took the time to talk through my injuries and currently pt plan. Upon returning home Omar and his team have been my biggest advocate I started with 40° of range of motion and severe atrophy in my leg. Ten months out I have full range of motion and feeling stronger than ever
