Inside Out Strength and Performance

I found Inside Out Strength and Performance through a recommendation from a friend/ultra runner and decided to see them after experiencing months of persistent and then worsening pain in my heel. I didn't have any experience with physical therapy so I wasn't really sure what to expect. I had experienced two previous run related injuries; swelling in the knee and a sprained ankle but beyond taking time off from running I never sought out treatment. The consultation session and follow up sessions with Dave made a huge difference starting in a short amount of time. My mobility has improved and my weaker left leg has already become stronger, plus the pain is gone. I've already noticed a difference in my training for my next 50 mile run. If you're on the fence about physical therapy, it is well worth it for improving performance and eliminating pain. Dave and Lindsey are both excellent at working with clients and helping them achieve their goals.

I had an incredible experience with Inside Out! I had been having low back pain for months and months and was so sick of it! I finally made an appointment with Lindsey, and even though it was a virtual appointment she saw everything I need to work on! she really helped me hone in on good exercises that I can do each day to strengthen my muscles and relieve back pain, strengthen my muscles and pelvic floor. The coolest thing about it is that it works! It wasn’t long before my back started feeling much better and now I am equipped with the right tools to keep my back strong and healthy. Lindsey and Dave have incredible insight and knowledge in this area, and I trust them completely! They are the kindest people and really care about and are very good at helping others . Lindsey also really helped me learn how to keep my back safe in every day activities like lifting my baby out of his crib. I am incredibly grateful and I wouldn’t hesitate to make another appointment. If you were on the fence, do yourself a favor and just call them! You will be very thankful!

Dave and Lindsey are great. I'm not a crazy athlete, but I work out to stay in shape, so I can take advantage of all the adventures San Diego has to offer. Lindsey and Dave understand that people need to stay active to stay healthy and make sure everyone can continue being so. They are great mental and physical support during set backs and long recoveries.I was first treated for knee and hip issues. I walked away from my sessions with tools that I can continue to use each time my muscles start to slack. I have also been trough some serious surgeries that left me with weak abdomen, and split abs. Lindsey has been nothing but amazing guiding me through the grueling recovery.

Since the birth of my second son two years ago I have been having lower back issues that come and go. I had tried stretching, mobility exercises, massage, and two visits to the chiropractor. It would get so bad sometimes I thought I was going to drop my son into his crib since I couldn’t bend down far enough to place him on the mattress without being in terrible pain. I have always been a very active person, and for over a year I was fighting through it hoping it would just go away. My husband had been seen by Dave for a shoulder issue (which has since completely resolved) so I called and made an appointment, hesitant as to whether or not they could help me too. I was completely wrong. Lindsey completed her evaluation, and tailored exercises and stretches to my pain and ability. In the first week I could feel a difference, and during each visit we would discuss any activity or motion that would make my back hurt more, and again exercises were assigned for me to complete at home. She also gave exercises to help improve my core to surf, and modified stretches I can do while I am at work without a place to stretch on the floor (being that I work in a hospital). During our conversations I also brought up personal issues with my pelvic floor, which she also has an incredible amount of knowledge about! I finally feel like I am in control of issues I didn’t ever think were going to resolve without surgical intervention. I have had an amazing experience with Lindsey, she has listened to me and my body, and has helped me become stronger in ways I do not think I could have done on my own. My husband and I also completed Dave’s home workout program which had an awesome combination of mobility, strength, and recovery exercises. We looked forward to doing them every day. Our joke while we were catching our breath would be to tell each other- Thanks Dave (sarcastically, but we really meant it). On behalf of my husband and myself, we thank you so much for everything you have done, and everything that you have given us to keep moving towards our goals.

Dave is extremely knowledgeable and passionate with what he does. If you're in the Carlsbad area and need a specialist to help you quickly recover from injury - don't hesitate to reach out! I HIGHLY recommend Dave. He's second to none!

Dave is one of those who guys who exude total commitment to what he does. Super focused, knowledgeable, open minded, and caring.He is a great listener, and highly skilled at applying a deep understanding (both intuitive and learned) of body mechanics and core movements to practical solutions that work.The stuff I learned from Dave is easy to implement, yet challenging the way it should be. And definitely not something I ever could have done on my own.Worth the time and money, which is pretty reasonable, since he got me back in action to be way more productive, active, and happy. Highly recommended.

I am so grateful to have found Dave! If you’re looking to get mobile again without medications and/or interventions he is your guy! He is a wealth of knowledge, identifies the root cause, gets to know you as a real person and knows exactly what to do to get you back to the activities that you love.Thanks Dave for helping me get my mobility back on track and back to my activities.

Dave was the answer I had been looking for after dealing with patellar tendonitis for over a year. His blend of customized stretching and strengthening routines addressed the issue from an angle others had not proposed and it proved to be effective almost immediately.He was flexible on appointment times and went out of his way to meet early in the morning with me before work. I appreciated that he was not looking to plug me into a recurring business model and get me to come see him every day, but was genuinely looking to help me adjust my routine and work within the confines of my work and travel schedule.Lastly, I started following him on instagram (@iostrengthperformance) and his posts helped me introduce fun variety in my workouts that have pushed me past some plateaus. Not only that but one week after lifting too heavy on a particular lift I was feeling shoulder pain I was worried was going to cost me, but one of his live streams perfectly addressed the shoulder nerve impingement with easy exercises and the pain went away within the following week.

I can not thank Dr Dave enough for the help he gave me to run pain free and help me complete my crazy dream of running a 100 mile race. I was having some foot pain about 3 weeks out from my goal race and did not want to take any chance and found Dave. He put me on a mobility exercise plan, checked in regularly and genuinely cared about my well being and helped me accomplish my goals. If you are running in pain give Dr Dave a try, he got me back to pain free running.

I started going to IOSP with the recommendation from my trainer and other friends who had seen him. I also attended a health fair that he participated in and was impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, and kindness.The location is right off the Interstate 5 and super easy to get to. You could even take the coaster as the station is right there!I started having knee pain after running a Ragnar trail race. It would not go away and was really limiting my running and other workouts. I couldn’t run more than a mile without severe pain and front and back lunges were a no go.Dave taught me that it was my IT band and we worked on various exercises and stretches to address that issue. I am up to five miles and weighted lunges with no pain!I definitely recommend Dave and will continue to see him at least once a month (including before my half in February).
