365 Optimal Health And Fitness, San Diego CA

I've been working with Ozzy for almost a year, both treatments and personal training to correct postural issues and muscle imbalances. His program has made me rethink how I train and for what purpose. I am much more in tune with how my body feels and functions, and I was already fit and athletic before (martial arts, strength training, pick-up sports). He noticed I had scoliosis developing from postural issues and now it isn't noticeable after his treatment and recommendations. I'd recommend seeing Ozzy for having bad shoulder posture, lower back weakness or tightness, hip mobility issues, and leg strengthening. I've met other clients of his that swear by his expertise.

I had a major injury and surgery in April 2022. I tore off 100% of my right Quad muscle and it had to be reattached to the knee with long surgery and 9 inch scar. My doctor said it will take 12-15 Month to get back to 95% capacity. I started 2 weeks after surgery to go to Ozzy twice a week for extended treatment. I had 5-10 degrees flexibility and no mobility the first time I came.
He worked hard on blood flow and nerve activation and due to this I never lost muscle mass in my quad. In fact, after session number 5 or 6 I walked away and forgot my crutches.and felt really good. Now after 8-9 month I am 100% recovered and running and working out again. I never missed one single session for 6-7 month and kept following his Strategic rehabilitation Program. It worked and I got back to life 6-9 months earlier than expected and was extremely happy with my treatment. I am still going to Ozzy on a biweekly schedule to keep up and maintain my mobility and muscle mass. I can highly recommend Ozzy for any major injury and in preventative purpose.
Thank you for bringing me back to normal life in an unheard rapid way with conventional PT activities.

Ozzy’s unique soft tissue therapy techniques along with his vast knowledge of body mechanics have allowed me to chase my goals of playing professional golf in the senior ranks. Working with him over the last 18 months has transformed my 53 year old body into a strong, lean, and pliable bomb launching machine. Using his stretching drills and techniques hopefully I can continue to defy age related mishaps for years to come. Thank you for giving me my 30 year old body back.

I had a back pain and I was having hard time when I wanted to lean. I paid visit Ozzy’s place and he fixed all my problems at only for one session. He is knowledgeable and has a great attitude. He knows what he is doing. Great service

I had surgery for a torn quadricep muscle and was directed by my orthopedic surgeon to follow up with a traditional physical therapy program. After six months of this therapy, my leg was still not healing properly and I had much pain and very limited mobility. I then heard about Ozzy from several of my athlete friends here in San Diego and immediately started therapy with him. After just three months of therapy, I saw major improvements and was able to start a workout program. I can't say enough to explain thankful I am that I found Ozzy.

Ozzy is one of a kind and knows the body and mechanics like no other. He’s very hands on and explains in detail what he is doing and why. I give him 5 out of 5 stars bc of how he makes an immediate impact on his clients for a lifetime of great health and hits angles on the body to heal unlike anyone I’ve ever worked with.

Highly recommend for anyone who suffers from any kind of pain. I’m a black belt in Jiu jitsu and I suffered from what doctors called a herniated disc. I was losing sensation on my left arm and left foot (nerve pain) after being referred to Ozzy through a friend I started PT with him and it was life changing! I’m pain free and I back to teaching and training Jiu jitsu! He is really a genius in his craft! Thank you Ozzy

Ozzy has a gift, a talent, how to detect in the body what needs adjustment/help. I’ve gone to him for 10 sessions and then for touch ups as needed. I love his philosophy of trying all things possible prior to surgery etc. As a dental hygienist it’s important for me to seek regular care to help offset damage, and Ozzy is part of my help!

My lifelong passion is to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. To me, there is nothing more fulfilling in life than to exercise, explore, and do anything that involves the great outdoors. Some of my favorite activities include extended back country hikes, running, paddle boarding, open ocean swimming, snorkeling, biking, riding quads in the desert, jet skiing, riding horses, Yoga, Pilates, boating, landscaping, gardening, fishing, and dancing. The list goes on and on….
Unfortunately, over the last ten years my knees started swelling up after exercising. At first the inflammation would come and go, but my condition advanced and my knees would swell up so much that I could barely bend them. Once inflamed, it would take weeks to get the swelling to subside. For the last year and a half, I have had persistent inflammation on my knees that never goes down completely and even simple movements cause pain on the front of my knee.
After several appointments with my primary, x rays, MRI’s, and a consultation with an orthopedic surgeon, I was told I have a genetic defect where the bones do not line up correctly and it causes compression on the inner knee joints. The MRI’s revealed that my left knee has grade 4 Osteoarthritis and significant deterioration of the cartilage on my right knee. The Ortho doctor said I would definitely need full knee replacements in the future and that the only way to slow down the progression would be to start hyaluronic acid injections. If this didn’t work, they would move to cortisone shots followed by surgery. My heart broke with the realization that I would not be able to maintain my level of physical activity and that the majority of all the outdoor activities I LOVE were not possible anymore.
Thankfully I have been going to Good Vibrations Family Chiropractic for over 7 years now and I discussed my prognosis with Dr. Stacey Merlo. Dr. Stacey recommended that I have a consultation with Ozzy to see if he could help. This is where the story gets interesting… I was so defeated by the grim future that the Ortho doctor painted, that I really felt like I was wasting my time. But I trusted Dr. Stacey and from the first visit with Ozzy I have a completely different perspective.
There are no words that adequately express my appreciation and gratitude for the education, hands on therapy, guidance, and empowerment Ozzy has provided. From the first session I noticed a huge change in the way my body moves, and my flexibility has increased significantly. More impressively, after just a few sessions the persistent inflammation in my knees is gone, my leg muscles seem to have reawakened, and they are literally changing before my eyes. The mobility and stability drills have become a daily routine for me, and I have noticed a change elsewhere too. My lower back and hips are not tight and painful anymore and my knees no longer have sharp pains when I move certain ways.
Ozzy is amazing, he puts his heart and soul into his work, he truly cares for people, and he is so knowledgeable and talented. The soft tissue therapy (in the begging) is not for the faint at heart, but it gets easier as time goes on. I put my trust in Ozzy’s healing hands and he is a true professional. Ozzy didn’t promise me the moon and the stars to get my money and sell me an idea that will never come to fruition. He was realistic with me and my condition, but he saw that there was a chance to restore my soft tissue to a healthy and balanced state. Ozzy has given me my life back, he continues to empower me, train me to correct my body alignment, break down the locked-up tissue, and strengthen the weak muscles that are needed to support and maintain healthy joints. I am now able to do corrective exercises without pain, and I look forward to an active future free from surgeries and injections. Thanks Ozzy!

I came to Ozzy in early 2021 with some severe lower back and left leg pain from my hip to knee. I had seen other doctors for this issue with no success in diagnosis or improvement. Within the first visit Ozzy identified the root causes and was able to immediately start treating me. I very quickly saw improvements in pain, mobility and eventually performance. I highly recommend Ozzy to anyone looking to address pain or see improvements in their performance. He’s amazing!

I went here to help me recovery after having a breast augmentation because I was having a lot of back and neck pain. I was educated on so many things that I didn’t know prior to coming in. Ozzy used a combination of soft tissue mobilization and corrective exercises, now I feel so much better! I sleep better at night and even breathe better! So happy I decided to go here and would recommend it to anyone, whether they are in recovery or just want to improve their health. Thank you so much!

I’m a golf professional who has been in industry 27 years. I was referred to Ozzy through another golf professional. He has exceeded my expectations. I had a hip replacement and he helped me with recovery. He knows his stuff.

I visited 365 Optimal Health and Fitness because I had been experiencing numbness in my foot and toes, as well as an inability to always control my left foot. This was caused due to some nerve damage/pressure from a protruding disc. Ozzy’s program of mobility/stabilization started working right away, and I am well on my way to being %100. It was great to finally be making improvements after 18 months of no progress with my doctor.

I went to Ozzy with back pain. I wasn't able to bend, not even to tie my shoes. My brother recommended him. He said he couldnt even walk when he went to Ozzy said he worked his magic hands. So i took his advise and im so glad i did because after a session with Ozzy im healed, i can bend as much as i want with no pain, nor discomfort. I'll definitely go for more sessions. So thankful

I have spent my whole life in my sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I also used to fight professionally for UFC and Pride FC in Japan. Ozzy helped so much! Even to save my career (with a lot of hard work) long story short, I had shoulder surgery and it les d to extreme infection, I almost lost my arm to the infection while in Brazil. So I came back to USA and had a correct surgery done, saving my arm. Now I had a super weak shoulder post op. Ozzy has worked with me this past year, I actually think I can resume competing one day (hopefully sooner than later). He spends unique time for your unique situation, he doesn’t “just” give you homework to do without him. He has exercises and deep tissue work that you know is working. He has a real passion for what he does and he has the knowledge to match. Thanks Ozzy!

I started seeing Ozzy back about 2 months ago, I am currently seeing him every single week because the treatments have been so beneficial. I have been recovering from a neck and shoulder injury from a car accident and from Ozzy’s work on my upper body, I can feel so much more mobility and strength during my lifts. I will continue to see Ozzy and I am super stoked with the work and effort he puts into my sessions. Between body building and working construction during the day, my body gets put to work, but I feel more stable and mobile than ever since I’ve been seeing him. This is the guy to go to, beat bang for your buck!
