Patient Testimonials

Before PT, I tried just resting my hurt muscle, but even after a month, I still had pain and got re injured when I tried to exercise. At Optimum Physio, they answered all my questions and genuinely taught me how to actively work on my healing. Now, my day to day pain is gone and I’m more confident I can continue healing and preventing future injuries!

I was having trouble with my balance and now I am doing a lot better I am walking really well now, and I feel 100% better. The therapy has helped me a lot Dr. Mark De Anda and the staff are really good and they do a wonderful job. I was also having pain in my back and now I don’t have it anymore.

I met Dr. Mark De Anda at a presentation he made at my gym, called Alamo 180. I have always struggled with my poor posture and being part of a family of two Physical Therapists, I decided now was the time to get an evaluation and analysis of my neuromuscular interactions. Mark put me through a program of stretching and strengthening my back muscles. During my 12 sessions Dr. Mark De Anda stretched my thoracic region and I could feel ‘looser’ in my back area. Mark equipped me with home exercises that I can complete by myself. I can say my posture mobility is more supple. I feel better able to achieve a more erect posture. Knowing my back posture is the undoing years of poor posture, I will proactively continue these exercises 3 to 4 times per week. Thank you Dr. Mark De Anda, I wish you continued success with your practice.

Six months ago, I thought my career of 35 years was over. After meeting Dr. Mark De Anda and Sonia De Anda I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Mark De Anda told me from the beginning that he was in my care. I never thought my arm would rise again, but with constant exercises and manual exercises, my muscles are alive again. They may not be perfect but then nothing is perfect. I’m back at work and very thankful for Dr. Mark De Anda and Sonia De Anda at Optimum Physio.

From the start to finish, the therapy Dr. Mark De Anda has given me the motion, skills, and strength I’ve lost. I regained the abilities to walk straight, run and move my foot in all directions, improved my balance and strength. I needed to get better before the track season started so I can continue pole vaulting. The break shrunk my limits but after therapy with Dr. Mark De Anda, he pushed them back to normal and for that I thank him. I 100% recommend him for anyone that needs a therapist.

When I first came to Optimum Physio, I had a lot of lower back pain. After my first visit my pain was gone, the exercises and stretches during therapy helped very much. They also gave me a home exercise program that I can do and can also help relieve pain I’ve been living with for years.

In July and September of 2017, I sprained my right ankle. That’s twice in one year! I was not able to dance. I came here and did some exercises that helped strengthening my leg. At first it hurt to do any kind of dance movements in general, but now I am strong again and will be getting back to dance!

From when I started, I had a very limited range of motion, due to back injury. I had so much pain, back stiffness, and discomfort. I had a problem going from sitting to standing as well as getting into bed. Standing now is not a problem and normal activities are much easier, I feel much better and healthier, I can now start daily exercises and plan to workout at least five days a week. Great staff and crew!

I came to Optimum Physio for intense lower back pain I started experiencing from pregnancy. I had such a great time while I was here! Everyone was so kind and caring and took the right precautions in helping me get better. I am leaving here with no back pain and home exercises to make sure I don’t need to come back for the same thing! Thank you, Optimum Physio team!

When I first came to Optimum Physio I was walking very slowly and I didn’t have to much strength in my leg. I have accomplished so much, I fell very good, I am walking so much faster. I would recommend this place very highly. All the therapists are so friendly I feel like we are one big family. Everybody makes you feel at home. 

I came in with a high ankle sprain and was unable to walk/run. Over the course of attending the weekly appointments, I experienced very friendly and courteous staff. I am now able to play volleyball again and enjoy many recreational activities. Thank you to everyone that has assisted me in my healing process!

When I first came to Optimum Physio I could barely walk on my right foot. While I won’t miss my sprained ankle, I will miss the wonderful staff here. From the first time I walked in, I knew I was in good hands. Thank you so much to the entire team for making me strong again, I am so thankful and excited to get back to doing what I love! 

Between my many hours of studying and school work at Trinity University and Elsa (the love of my life a 5-year-old palomino quarter horse with a newfound propensity to buck). I had done quite a number on my neck. At my worst, I was unable to move my head without painful muscle spasms. So riding was out of the question and studying was difficult. With friendly and effective therapy and help here at Optimum Physio, my neck pain and stiffness have been alleviated and I am on the path to a healthier life. From the friendly environment with concert recommendations and life advice to the excitement of being back in the saddle. My experience has been nothing short of exceptional.

Before coming to Optimum Physio, I had been struggling to play lacrosse for months because of my knee. After just a couple of weeks of working with Dr. Mark and his team, I was able to run again. Now I am back to playing lacrosse and running like normal. Every step of the way was helpful, and the team listened to my input. They let me bring my lacrosse equipment into train and the experience was completely patient-driven. Thank you so much Optimum Physio!
