Lifemark Father David Bauer Arena

I've been receiving physiotherapy from Melissa Tomiyama for a shoulder injury and I truly cannot commend her enough. She is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough and focused and kind. Her manual therapy works wonders. I feel I'm in the most competent hands with Melissa. The staff at this clinic are wonderful as well. I am very grateful for this help!

I have had an amazing experience going to physiotherapy at this Lifemark location. All the staff are really friendly and helpful, usually the best part of my day! The physiotherapists have been exceptional 👌 I have always felt cared for and listened to. Thank you for being the key to my recovery 😊

I went to see Ravi for an initial assessment, I had someone recommend me to the clinic and the reviews seemed to suggest that this was a good place to go. I had an initial arm break a few years back and was dealing with some of the after effects of scar tissue and some scapular dyskinesis, because of the elbow's involvement in the injury. There was some other issues involved but safe to say my case was a bit of a complicated one. After assessment, the first thing that Ravi indicates to me is that I would not be able to regain full mobility in my wrist and elbow (only one of my goals by the way, and something which I already knew), the immediacy of this kind of approach was a little disheartening to me as someone who came in looking for help. If the thought of telling me that was one that works in her favour as to not give too much hope or to cover her behind in case she accidentally overpromises, then this should be enough to help you make a decision, especially when it comes to her own projections about limitations. And yes, I say projections because past experiences alone, aren't necessarily helpful in making accurate predictions. Anyways, I truly felt like the examination was incomplete because it seemed that she followed a formula and didn't really take the time to do an assessment of all the issues I had indicated to her. The list of exercises she told gave me/had me perform were trivial as I was already aware of most of them. There are also gaps in her knowledge, for example when it comes to the action of muscles she refused to accept how an exercise has the ability to impact or activate the weakest link of a chain prior to acting on the biggest muscle in the link - bent over straight arm pull down was the specific one. I have been dealing with my injury for some time and so I have had no choice but to study it, also it is my body so I am at least somewhat aware of the difference. Her overall attitude seemed to become more apathetic after this disagreement. I don't know maybe when it comes to more traditional injuries or those which she is comfortable with she could be better, but given my complications I have no reservations when I say that this experience felt no different than watching a YouTube video. Seeking help elsewhere and relying on myself proved much more effective than to rely on her professional prediction, which to me at the time sounded exaggerated. Having paid nearly $100 for the assessment I would have hoped to at least have learned something.

The staff are very good at what they do, very professional. I enjoy going in and getting there input and assistance

They are very helpful with giving exercises to get you better.
