I'm so glad that my mom knew about Active Physical Therapy from being a client there several years ago and recommended it to me. I started having lower back pain for the first time in my life and that's what brought me to this fabulous team of physical therapists. It's completely worth the drive from San Luis Obispo to Orcutt (Santa Maria) twice a week. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. I know that I am in excellent hands. I have learned so much from each of the physical therapists that I've seen there in the short time that I have been going. I feel like I'm part of a very caring family

Before I went to "Active Physical Therapy" in Orcutt, CA, I read all of the Google Reviews. Sounds great!! I had to get approval from Blue Shield/Medicare Advantage to get insurance coverage.
I needed treatment of herniated disc/sciatica pain and lack of mobility that I was suffering through for two months. I had this problem 5 years ago and the frightening situation, then, led me to consulting an orthopedic surgeon. Fortunately, he was cautious of surgery due to the delicate/difficult task, and said that waiting six months, the body probably will heal. I was OK in four months!

This IS Hands Down the BEST PT practice in Santa Maria. CoFounder, Jordan Larson, has done a great job attracting a talented, caring team! This is a small practice and will not be in a large open room shared by many others. You will get a private room. It is not a get you in and get you out business model like so many PT practices unfortunately are. If you want to stay active and invest time in your health APT devotes an hour to You! Yes. You! Your time is not shared with someone else that the PT must work with. You will be seen as a whole person, and your lifestyle, interests and activities

The staff at Active Physical Therapy helped me start walking again after an ankle break happened 4 weeks before a month long trip. Victor was very helpful and gave me advice and exercises to get me through my trip, and the staff is very thoughtful and kind. I sought them out for their quiet, calming environment and specialized attention, and was not disappointed! Worth it, and would recommend Active Physical Therapy.

OH. MY. GOSH. Heaven.
I've had severe jaw/neck pain for my whole adult life, until I found this gem. I thought that living with chronic pain was something I should just accept since I had exhausted all of my resources for pain management. My primary doc gave me a referral to physical therapy and I stressed to her that I would not go to physical therapy if it was anything like the "gym" atmosphere with the loud music, and 100 people waiting in line. So, my doc sent me to Active Physical Therapy. What a miracle! This is NOT A GYM. This serene hidden treasure in Orcutt is the complete opposite to

Over the past 20 years I have had three shoulder surgeries and a industrial accident that damaged my spine. So I need to tell you I have went to several Physical Therapist. I never finished my therapy with anyone of them where I did not still have the same issues. Most of the physical therapy from the past places I went to were noisy. They did not give you the attention, (I found out after going to Active Physical Therapy), that was really needed to insure you understood your physical issues and limitations. Active Physical Therapy spends time with just you for the whole time you are

Jordan and his staff at Active Physical Therapy are beyond AMAZING. They are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional and accommodating. I was hesitant to try PT again due to a poor experience with a different company but I am so happy that I gave them a try. I give them 5 stars without hesitation and I rarely give 5 stars :)

I would highly recommend Active Physical Therapy. Jordan and his team are excellent, warm ,friendly, and experienced. They practice manual physical therapy which is extremely helpful. Mary was wonderful working on my neck and back after a car accident, relieving the pain and stiffness. They are definitely the best!
