Soma Physical Therapy

I've gone to many physical therapist for my low back pain in the past and never got any relief. Adam at Soma Physical Therapy was by far the BEST experience I've had. He is very knowledgeable, made sure I understood the reasoning behind everything we did, and was able to resolve my pain within 6 weeks. I am now able to go back to the gym, run, and golf without any issue. I cannot recommend him enough!

Adam at SOMA physical therapy is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and dedicated to helping you feel your best. He spends the entire hour appointment with you instead of handing you over to an aide and makes sure you have all the tools you need to succeed inside and outside the gym. The gym is clean, new, and a comfortable place to be. All the staff are super friendly and welcoming. I saw more progress with Adam in the first few weeks at SOMA than I did in 6 months at a different physical therapy office. I highly recommend them and will be back if needed.

I highly recommend Adam for any physical therapy needs. I visited Adam from Nov 2022 to April 2023 to rehab an ACL reconstruction surgery. Adam is extremely knowledgeable and adjusts every session based on your individual pace of recovery. Every session is 1 on 1 with Adam and he has access to top quality gym equipment to use as needed.

My physical therapy experience with Adam was the best I have had over several years for shoulder issues. These were my first therapy sessions in a gym and it makes so much sense! He is thorough in his explanations and very professional. Thank you, Adam! I would highly recommend!

Adam is the Best PHD physical therapist/ trainer ever!!! His professionalism and ethics are unmatched by the numerous trainers i have tried throughout the years. I was bedridden for a few years and did not think i would be able to get my body back in shape. To say the least i was lacking the confidence i needed to step back into the gym. Adam made this transition so easy for me. His consistent watchful eye catches all incorrect forms and keeps me from pushing myself to far. Thanks to him i finally have my body back after only one month. I’m so happy he’s close but i would drive far if needed. If your looking for an amazing Physical Therapist, who basically knows the body like a doctor.He is also training my dad who had a double lung transfer. He is 100% your guy! I’m so grateful I’m so many ways ! Thank you, Adam i have my life back.

I’m not the type of person who typically writes reviews online, but I found myself compelled to write this one. I’m in my 60’s and recovering from an accidental fall that my body, to put it lightly, didn’t take too well. I’ve never stepped a foot into a gym before, until the day that I met Adam. I truly cannot say enough good things about him. He always makes me feel comfortable, and i can assure you i was not at all comfortable the first day of my training. It’s been three months now of continuous training and I’ve decided to continue my workouts with him past what my doctor recommended. I have no plans of stopping in the future. Thank you for everything Adam. - T

I have been with Adam at Soma physical therapy through hip and knee replacement. Now I’m doing PT for my back. He is always professional and meets you at your level to help you build your strength. You will never get passed on to someone else or left to do things on your own. He is the best Physical Therapist I have ever had. I will never go to anyone else for my PT needs.

I’ve been going to Adam at Soma Physical Therapy for a recent hip replacement. It’s only been a few weeks and I already notice such an improvement in my daily activities. He is definitely the best physical therapist that I have worked with. He is 100% there making sure that you are doing the exercises correctly and telling you the muscles that you are working. He answers any questions you may have and checks to make sure how you are feeling and doing at your next session. Thank you Adam for truly caring and being so professional.

Stellar Physical TherapistI recently had two, lower back surgeries which required physical therapy as part of my recovery. I was recommended to Adam Pavlovich, PhD of Physical Therapy, who has his own private practice, Soma Physical Therapy, which is located very close to Carlsbad in San Marcos.When I started out-patient PT, I had no idea how lucky I was to become Adam’s patient. Adam is professional, friendly, explains goals well, is extremely knowledgeable about human physiology, and an expert at creating a custom plan of exercises to meet the needs of each patient. He is very organized and PT sessions start and end on time. In the past, my physical therapy practices began with a different therapist for each session, and it was easy to lose the continuity of what I needed to work on or what was done in the past. Adam works with each patient exclusively and is super careful about monitoring progress and consistency. My PT sessions with Adam have started with carefully chosen workouts and have slowly increased so I have not once become too sore, but have gently increased both in movement and range. He is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and does personal training with people who have a history of injury, such as back pain or shoulder issues, and want to work out without worry of causing re-injury. Adam accepts insurance (with my Medicare and Supplemental insurance I do not even have a co-pay.) Soma Physical Therapy is located at 1740 La Costa Meadows Drive, and the phone number is 760-516-8900. Adam provides free, 20 minute phone or in person consults, if you have questions.It is rare to find a professional who meets all your needs, and Adam is such an exception to the rule, I felt compelled to share his qualifications with Google neighbors.

Adam is the BEST physical therapist I've ever been to and I have been to many over the years. I saw Adam for my neck, shoulder and chronic back issues and I am happy to say that I am moving freely now and able to continue the exercises at home. He is extremely professional, kind and great explaining the "why" behind the exercises. I would recommend Soma physical therapy to anyone in need, and this is the first time that I've ever felt strongly enough about a physical therapist's skills to post a review/recommendation.
