Egoscue of San Diego

Carrie and everyone at the Egoscue clinic are amazing and really know what they are doing! I have had 5 sessions so far and already have seen amazing improvements! I cannot reccomend them enough!

I am so happy to have found egoscue! I have been in terrible pain for about 2 1/2 years maybe longer. I have just fought through the pain and tried to keep up with my normal activities which are snow and water skiing, swimming, zumba instructor, the gym and hiking. I was in so much pain I had to quit just about everything. I went to my first egoscue appointment at their facility which I would advise others to do but now do my appointments through zoom. Pictures are taken of how you stand from the front sides and back. What a revelation! I was so crooked. Now I do my appointments through zoom. It’s working very well and I am improving so much! I just love Carrie Barlau she is a wonderful knowledgeable therapist! I am in my 70’s and I thought there might not be any hope for me. I am so pleased with my results!

Little skeptical going in, but Tim was great - he's passionate, listens well and within weeks unlocked my lower back from pain & stiffness and I'm back playing pickleball 2+ times per week! Additionally, Tim's pre & post pickleball menu (stretches) have given me physical confidence that I can play on a regular basis without pain and soreness. I purchased 8 visits and did both in-person and remote sessions - both are effective methods. To be frank, some exercises are not easy, but as they say "no pain no gain"! Thank you, Tim!

I reached out to the Egoscue clinic due to sciatic pain. I committed to the 8 week program and I’m so thankful I did. My discomfort has decreased significantly and most important to me I’m able to run without restrictions. Tim was great and patiently walked me through each exercise. I actually looked forward to the sessions. I would highly recommend anyone to the Egoscue clinic to help with pain issues, improve athletic performance, and posture.

I have experienced so much healing and strengthening in my body during these past months. Carrie has been wonderful in selecting just the right stretches for me. It is amazing how well this method works to releave pain as your body comes into alignment. The strengthening stretches are very effective. I highly recommend this method of sustained stretching. I can now walk so much better.

I started going to the Egoscue clinic two or three months ago. I have had about a dozen sessions with my trainer, Samantha Patterson. I have had chronic back pain for 30 years and have tried many different ways to make my back feel better. The workouts in training I have done with Samantha have helped with my back pain a lot, and have had measurable impact on improving my posture. Samantha is kind, compassionate, and highly knowledgeable about the Egoscue Method. If your body is out of alignment, or you are dealing with chronic pain, this sure seems like a great place to try! Five Star’s and two thumbs up for the Egoscue clinic and especially for my trainer Samantha Patterson.

I was dealing with chronic foot pain for 5 years. It went from not being able to stand or walk for more than a 10 minutes to slowly improving to walking a little long and eventually hiking up to 3 miles - but with major foot stiffness and pain - even with vibrating them and massaging, etc. I tried several different PTs, scraping, a podiatrist and their custom orthotics, to an orthopedic foot doctor who prescribed PT. I finally decided to try Egoscue in San Diego when I had an overseas trip coming up. I wanted to be able to walk as much as possible without my feet disabling me for an even a day, like they did the year before. (I was in Italy and had to stay inside one day off my feet and missed out on exploring a lot of the cities, because it was just too painful in summer of 2022.) A few months before this year's trip I started working with Samantha (8 sessions). She gave me a specific travel menu, that helped me walk around 20,000 steps daily in London and Iceland with the least amount of pain in 5 years. My feet would feel a little uncomfortable and I would do my menu and I was good to go again. The exercises not only helped my feet, my knees feel better as well as my shoulders and neck.basically my whole body.

Back pain gone! Since I discovered Egoscue, my searing, nearly debilitating back pain is gone. I had two goals when I went to see Tim and achieved both of them. Plus, I've avoided surgery and I was able to travel abroad on a long haul flight, walk 20,000 steps per day and stand for several hours at a time sightseeing. Yes, there were times when I got sore, but nothing like the pain I experienced before Egoscue. I simply did my exercises and felt better immediately after them. It is possible that I will need surgery at some time in the future, but for now, I manage my pain perfectly with my daily Egoscue exercises. Tim also gave me strength exercises to improve my muscle tone. Highly recommended!

I am 78 years old. I was a competitive athlete in many sports when I was younger and then in Masters events. 50 plus years of that led to major back surgery and I got aggressive form of prostrate cancer 9 years ago. So far I am a cancer survivor. 6 weeks ago I met with Carrie. She got my history and set up a program. There was some improvement in my shoulders and back. Each week I go back and she modifies it. She is amazing, knowledgeable, and motivating. I continue to improve. I signed up for 16 sessions. I plan on doing this program daily as long as I am able.

I can't recommend Samantha enough as a physical therapist. Before seeing her, I had tried multiple other methods to relieve my chronic pain without success. Sam and the Egoscue methodology has been instrumental in helping me make steady improvements over time. She's extremely patient and persistent, never giving up on finding the right approach for me. I appreciate that she doesn't promise quick fixes, but rather focuses on sustainable progress. I'm so grateful for her expertise and dedication, and I highly recommend Egoscue to anyone who's tried massage, chiropractors, etc but hasn't had the results they were hoping for.

My acupuncturist told me about Egoscue so I was pumped to find out they had a therapy clinic right here in San Diego. Carrie was assigned to me as my therapist, and she has been great from day one and super comfortable to be with. I have been dealing with some bulging disc issues near C5-C7 and have been trying everything. I was beyond grateful to finally have some pain relief and I am only on week 3. Can't wait to continue my Egoscue journey and most importantly, feel my best self!

Just incredible! I've had chronic plantar fasciitis for 2 years now. I've tried all the usual relief recommendations and nothing has ever given me long lasting pain relief like the Egoscue Method.

The process is super easy too! I met with my therapist, Carrie, and we were able to identify the areas in my posture causing my foot stress. She tailored the exercises to my needs, lifestyle, and physical ability. The first time trying the Egoscue method with her gave me IMMEDIATE RELIEF. I was blown away by the simplicity of the exercises and the degree of pain relief I received.

This method has truly been life changing. It took me not feeling pain to realize the toll it took on my daily life. Now I go through the day not worrying and stressing about my pain.

Highly, highly recommend this method and Carrie! Do not wait 2 years like I did before giving this a try. I wish I had found the Egoscue method sooner.

Carrie and the egoscue system is amazing, the work that I've been doing has helped me immensely! I dont have low back pain, and my hips have never felt better! Thank you so much Carrie!

I worked with Carrie at Egoscue of San Diego virtually for about 3 months and she was fabulous! She provided excellent menus to help address my various concerns, answered questions and provided solutions to minor joint and muscle-related issues needed from time to time. Tim also provided excellent advice and help. My plantar fasciitis has essentially gone away and postural issues discovered early on in my assessment are being addressed!

I've been a client of Tim George's Egoscue of San Diego for over 20 years. Back then, I had a joke about wanting to continue playing basketball until I turned 70. I'm a month away from that and still playing, mainly due to the results of following exercise/stretching menus that Tim has prescribed over the years.
It seems that every few years, there has been an injury that had me thinking "that's it, I'm done". Each time, Tim had a solution through posture correction and stretching. Knee, back, shoulder, hamstring injuries have all come and gone, and now I'm setting 75 as my new goal. For me, its been proof of the importance of being disciplined enough to hang in there and trust the process. I have tears in both rotator cuffs, along with a torn bicep, but have managed to retain comfortable use of both arms and AVOIDED SURGERY! I'm old and slow but still having a lot of fun as the result of Tim's guidance over the years.
