Barbell Physical Therapy

I’ve had back issues for about 15 years and tried PT and chiropractors, but the relief was always temporary. After I had my baby via c-section, I started PT with Dom. I was still in pain and unsure how to safely get strong again postpartum. Now I have zero back pain and feel stronger than I’ve ever been. I used to wander around the gym not really knowing what to do, but Dom taught me proper form, gave me confidence, and built a program I can continue on my own. He’s caring, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable. I left every session feeling motivated and excited to keep getting stronger. Truly the best investment for my health.

Tearing my ACL ended up being the best-worst thing that ever happened to me—because it led me to Dom. He is not only an incredibly skilled practitioner but also deeply empathetic, genuine, and motivating. What sets him apart is the way he gives 100% of his attention every session—no assistants, no leaving you on your own. He makes thoughtful adjustments that lead to better results. He truly believes in his clients and gives personalized care that’s sustainable and effective. Thanks to Dom, I feel stronger, more energized, and more in tune with my body than ever before. Update: I was skiing again within the year and felt stronger than before.

Dom has truly been a game-changer for me, combining physical therapy and strength training in a way that has significantly enhanced my overall well-being. Dom's personalized approach ensures that we not only recover from injuries but also build strength and improve our general health, both physically and mentally. This level of care and dedication has had a tremendous impact on my fitness journey, and I've seen remarkable improvements in my strength, endurance, and pain management. Before working with Dom, I had never done strength training in my life, but now I'm able to deadlift 200 pounds for10 reps – I couldn't be more grateful! If you're looking for a very skilled and compassionate trainer who can help you achieve your fitness goals, I highly recommend reaching out to Dom. You'll be

I have been to multiple PTs in the past, who ended up throwing the basic band work at me with no progressive goals. So after injuring my shoulder, I was reluctant to visit anyone until a good friend referred me to Dom. His work was second-to-none. Taking my injured shoulder, from 30%, back to its full range of mobility and strength. He also diagnosed a deficiency in the alternate shoulder and got that one all greased up as well. Aligning the PT work with strength training, I was back into the swing of things with full confidence in my shoulder's capabilities. I can't tell you how good it is to get that back! I HIGHLY recommend Dom. Don't wait. Get in, get working and get it fixed before it becomes surgery.

I’m so happy I reached out to Dom after moving to San Diego in June. I suffered a shoulder injury after snowboarding in February. I was barley able to lift my shoulder over my head and thus my mobility with certain gym exercise was limited. My previous and first PT experience was not great and didn’t do much for addressing my post injury shoulder instability issues and getting me back into performing certain lifts in the gym. Dom gave me a detailed plan of attack and educated me on how to address the root cause my shoulder instability and pain. After 12 visits and following his detailed plan, I barely have pain in my shoulder and can perform every lift in the gym again. I would highly recommend Dom to anyone needing personalized PT, especially to those who are highly active.
