Are you worried that your back pain isn't going away on its own, no matter how much "rest", "stretching" or "exercises" you've tried to do? Does back pain stop you from getting a good night's sleep? Is getting out of bed in the morning starting to be unbearable because of pain and stiffness? Do you have trouble sitting for longer than 10-15 minutes before a deep ache starts to creep in?
A personal message from our Leading Sciatica & Piriformis Syndrome Specialist Dr. Mat Parker. Are you worried that sciatica or piriformis syndrome isn't going away on it's own, no matter how much "rest", "stretching" or "exercises" you've tried to do? Does sciatic nerve pain or piriformis syndrome stop you from getting a good night's sleep?
If you've recently picked up a Sports or Running Injury, or if you've been suffering from an injury for a while - it can be very tempting to pass it off as "nothing serious" and simply "put up with it" carrying on as best you can. Or, it can be very easy to get disheartened and end up feeling "stuck", wondering if you'll ever be able to get back to your favorite activity and keeping active like you used to.

I am very fortunate to have developed a GREAT relationship with Mat Parker my Physical Therapists.When I first got hurt I knew it would take the Doctors a year to fix. It took 2 years. Mat is like a friend who takes care of you, his concern is always you.He is not like the Rich Arrogant Doctors who are too busy to really help, then make alot of $ and say goodbye.
Relationships built on time with understanding are a wealth that cannot be Bought. One more time my Guatdian Angel is looking over me and protecting me.

Dr. Parker was knowledgeable, honest, and generous with his time. We spoke on the phone a couple times about a lingering achilles injury I have. He recommended I come in for a free consultation/meeting to discuss my pain further. I had a coffee from Pannikin waiting for me as he took me through some more questions and exercises.
Ultimately I need to see an orthopedic, as recommended by Dr. Mat but I'll stay in touch to see if therapy at Parker is a possibility. It's apparent Dr. Parker has tremendous care for his clientele.

I couldn't recommend Matt Parker anymore highly from my experience with him. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, caring, and concerned about his client's overall health and needs. Unlike many physical therapy and rehabilitation providers, Dr. Parker gives one on one personal attention customized to fit each individual as well as following prescribed surgical rehab directions.
Additionally, Dr. Matt is one of the best persons that you will be fortunate to meet and he makes you feel like you are like a family member.
I was happy to have completed my successful rehab but also disappointed

I have struggled for many years with shoulder pain. I have had rotator cuff surgery (full thickness tear of supraspinatus and infraspinatus on right shoulder and full thickness tear of supraspinatus on left shoulder) on both shoulders as well as surgery for a torn distal bicep tendon on my right side. I have also had my share of muscle strains in my legs. I have seen lots of PTs and chiropractors. I have had PRP injections. I spent a few months at Egoscue. I have done yoga. I have worked on mobility for hours on end. Things would get a bit better, but I still had lots of pain. I train at

When I went to Mat I was having trouble walking up and down stairs. The pain in both knees was too much for me and I was only 40 years old. Mat asked questions that I never thought to discuss and patiently worked with me to get a full understanding of the problem I was having with both of my knees. He worked with me to come up with a plan to strengthen my leg muscles to alleviate the pain I felt waking up and down stairs. His approach was unique and personalized for me. It was refreshing to have a doctor who took the time to fully understand the issues I was having and to suggest a personalized

Went to see Dr Mat for plantar fasciitis in my foot. I could barely walk when I first started my treatment and now have zero pain. His communication is excellent. Dr Mat explained to me how the parts of the foot work and what is causing the pain. Using a combination of treating the area in his office and giving me exercises to do at home I have healed 100% Dr Mat also sends an email after every appointment recapping what was discussed along with videos of the exercises he recommended. After great success with my foot pain, I later went back to Dr Mat to treat my impinged shoulder. What a relief

I've been playing basketball for a long time now and recently had been feeling pain and soreness in my lower back and hip area after playing. I had tried icing, foam rollers and other techniques for relief but none had any lasting effects. That's when I decided to contact Dr. Parker and I could not be more relieved that I did. After describing the issues I was having he provided me with a comprehensive and personalized stretching and maintenance plan to help with the pain I had been experiencing. There was an emphasis on activating the correct muscles and areas of the body that were contributing

Working with Dr Parker was a blessing. I was experiencing knee issues that I couldn't figure out. After a 20-minute video call with him, we were able to identify the injury, discuss recovery, and start on exercises and stretches right there in then. After 2 days of doing the exercises, the injury has improved significantly.
I'm super grateful to have found Dr Parker and work with someone as honest as he is. Highly recommend going to him for any of your PT needs. Incredibly caring and knowledgable individual who is more than willing to get you back to the health level where you belong

Dr. Mat Parker has been treating me for a painful shoulder injury for the last six weeks (once/week). He is a professional, knowledgeable and a gifted Physical Therapist. He is always able to pinpoint the exact location to be worked on. His skill has really helped me, he has good hands. My pain level is getting better and my range of motion has made good progress. I still have to work on building strength with my home exercises. Dr. Parker listens carefully and he also promptly revises any of my home exercises until it is spot on. He is punctual & attentive to you while you are doing your exercises

Towards the end of October, sciatica hit me like a bolt of lightening. Being fairly new to North County and having already experienced multiple physical therapists, a few in a group environment, I went on line to look for a new physical therapist, someone who had a small practice with individualized attention. Parker Physio's website and information along with its positive reviews seemed to be just what I was looking for. I reached out via the website on a Sunday and Monday morning, Dr. Mat called me to ask about why I wanted to see him. We made an appointment for Wednesday and I was a mess. I

I strongly recommend Dr. Mat Parker to anyone in need of a skilled physical therapist. It is so rare these days (when it seems people do less and expect more) to come across someone who really cares and truly puts their heart and soul into the quality of their work. That is Mat Parker, DPT.
Dr. Parker has helped me tremendously. He is an extremely skilled and dedicated hands-on physical therapist who puts his heart and soul into his treatment process, with patience, humor, and humility.
When I started my physical therapy sessions, I was so discouraged and afraid. I literally could not walk

I came to Mat for some lower back tightness and aches due to my job. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field. He does and excellent job breaking down the root cause of the pain. He builds your fundamentals of exercises and stretches to strengthen your body. Mat is very friendly and personal. He goes above and beyond for you even to go as far to ask what your favorite music is so you can some good background music. I highly recommend Dr. Parker. It's only been a few weeks and I already feel the difference.

"Impressed" ~ Dr.Parker helped correct my low back issues in Nov.-Dec.2019.
He has a convenient Encinitas location right on hwy 101.
What I was most impressed with was his thoughtful, conscientious, work ethic. He really cared about my treatment plan and gave many support videos and tools to accomplish my goals. Schedule runs on time. He gives complete personal care. I would return without hesitation.
He will help you with insurance claims, but he only takes Medicare.

I went to see Mat with an issue that was very concerning to me about one of my knees. I was blown away by how professional and thorough Mat was. After the appointment I felt so much better and had greater peace of mind knowing I did not need an operation but just a few weeks of therapy. I would highly and enthusiastically recommend Mat's services to anyone. Thank you again Mat for a great experience

After about a month of dealing with ongoing pain, from what I thought was due to a workout injury, I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Mat Parker on a recommendation from a couple friends. It was my first consultation for physical therapy so I wasn't really sure what to expect.
Not only did Dr. Mat Parker ask great questions in preparation for my appointment, he also provided all of the information I needed to prepare for the consultation (directions to the office, parking, what to wear, what I wanted out of the appointment, etc). He's super friendly, he was ready to get started
