The staff at Longevity are kind, courteous and professional. Functional movement for long term return to normal preinjury daily activities is the goal- and every staff member works to ensure that this goal is met. I would recommend Longevity to anyone needing physical therapy.
The entire San Marcos Longevity team has been extremely helpful and kind during my shoulder surgery recover. Special shoutout to Casey for truly caring about my progress and being a constant source of help and positivity during my recovery. Would highly recommend this location to anyone needing PT assistance.
My wife and I have vast experience working with Kristen at Longevity. Me following 2 shoulder replacements and Maria following 2 hip replacements. Our physical therapy experiences were excellent!! Kristen listens, looks, asks questions, alters PT routines, provides evolutionary home exercises, and on top of all of that - is very friendly and easy to get along and work with. We now have a pain free path forward for both shoulders and knees with better strength and range of motion than anticipated. Do not hesitate to investigate Longevity and work with Kristen.
I really enjoy going to Longevity physical therapy. Very professional & enjoy working with Tachel
Thank you, Longevity Physical Therapy, for all you did for me. I had the best experience with my therapy. I had major back surgery and wanted a good therapist, so I was told that Longevity Physical Therapy was great. So, I tried it and loved the experience.
The entire team there at Longevity Physical Therapy, San Marcos is absolutely phenomenal. I want to extend my infinite gratitude to Casey Riordan and Rachel Oakley for their support. Their unwavering dedication, commitment, knowledge and professionalism is very much to be emulated. I appreciate the countless hours they genuinely devoted to me as a patient. They listened to my concerns and addressed them with results. Also, I want to extend my extreme gratitude to Liz Mulnix for taking care of all my administrative needs. It was a flawless “check in” and scheduling process from start to finish. Again, a great team. Thank you Casey, Rachel and Liz for all you do. 🙏
I met DPT Kristen Lopez 7 years ago at Bressi Ranch Longevity in Carlsbad. She is a great doctor with wonderful manners. I was really Kristenhappy to reunite with her this summer. She works now in 2 locations. The new location is in Longevity San Marcos. It's open only 1 year and is already popular. I am very pleased with her services, because I had a lot of problem and she did a lot of exercises to let me feel more comfortable. If you meet her, never leave her. She is a gift of God. God bless you Kristen and all the wonderful staff.
I have been going to Longevity PT for 6 years as needed per my injury with sports and then overall injury prevention. I have seen Kristen, Rachel and many more of the wonder therapist they have on staff at both locations. I have always had positive experiences with their quality of care, energy and thoughtfulness. Kristen has been with me the most over the years and she is very well rounded. She helped me with my strengthening to prevent injury but also helping me bounce back from various injuries. Without this team I would not have been able to play my sport for so long and I am very thankful for their support.
I have been a patient at Longevity Physical Therapy office in San Marcos over the last few months, following spinal surgeries on my back and neck. I can attest that this is a well managed outfit with highly expert therapists. Rachel, Eric and Casey are all top notch therapists. Eric has been my primary therapist throughout my treatment. He is knowledgeable, experienced and caring. I would highly recommend them all to my friends and family.
Excellent facility with great physical therapists. They provided tailored coaching and exercises that helped me recover from a broken foot injury and back into running
My PT Eric at Longevity has been phenomenal! I scheduled a full-body consult because there were some signs of imbalance I noticed when I would work-out or stretch. Nothing dramatic like an injury, but some clear signals of imbalance. For example, not being able to activate my left glute as well as the right or a snapping on my left hip with certain moves like RDLs. Eric helped me identify and understand where and how imbalances manifested as well as gave me exercises to correct my form and function. Really appreciate the personalized care offered at this clinic. Staff is super friendly. Also they offer cash-pay and your exercises are take-home so you have lots of opportunity to practice between sessions with your PT. 🙂
Fantastic physical therapy 👌 would recommend to anyone needing help!
Great people and facility.
I highly recommend this clinic for any runners! I came in with left knee pain, and Rachel was fantastic. She quickly identified the cause and provided effective exercises and tips for running that have really helped reduce the pain.
Love the staff at Longevity and would recommend to anyone. Kristen (and her team) are fantastic and friendly. I've seen her for PT recovering from both a back injury and a foot surgery. In both cases, she put together a gradual plan to help me build up strength, flexibility, and range of motion, incorporating my personal fitness goals. The whole team is supportive and encouraging and the work feels very custom to my needs. Highly reccomend!
Rachel and Eric at Longevity PT are super knowledgeable, professional and personable. I highly recommend Longevity PT!I had the option of PT or surgery and opted to try PT first. The team at Longevity resolved my ailment with a detailed plan that worked. I am pain free and back to my fitness routine. I also learned the importance of stretching before and after exercising or fitness activities.
My Longevity team ( Rachael, Kristin, and Eric ) is professional, highly knowledgeable, creative, and pushed me to achieve my goals. It is a great atmosphere and I highly recommend it.
These are the best, most knowledgeable, most professional physical therapists I've ever met! After 4 spinal fusions and a knee replacement, that's saying something. Their equipment is state of the art and their practices are careful to avoid re-injury. Plus they are kind and fun to work with. Highly recommend them.
Outstanding knowledge, professionalism.
I can't say enough good things about Longevity Physical Therapy! All of the staff are incredible! I was a patient several years ago due to a partially torn rotator cuff and because of their amazing work, I had a full recovery without needing surgery. When I had another issue come up with my foot, Longevity was the first place I turned to for help and once again they didn't disappoint. Huge shout out to Eric, Rachel, Casey and Kristen for taking such good care of me and helping me on the road to recovery! If you need physical therapy, don't go anywhere else!
Dr. Rachel Oakley is a phenomenal physical therapist and a wonderful, caring person. Rachel truly listens to you and is genuinely committed to your progress and improvement. I left each session with a greater understanding of my pain and how the prescribed exercises would help mitigate it. She’s made a HUGE big difference in my life and I will be forever grateful for her help. I can go on walks with my husband and dog, focus on work and enjoy my life pain free. Everyone needs to see Dr. Oakley! She is an amazing doctor who will not only help you get better but will truly care for you throughout the whole treatment.
Dr. Eric Schulte is an incredibly caring and devoted physical therapist. He’s all in with your treatment, does his research, and always has new ways to keep your treatments fresh and effective. He’s encouraging, so patient and for me, his care is giving me new life. I’m so grateful for his expertise and his commitment to his patients.
I loved coming here, all staff was supportive and friendly. My sciatica was really bad to the point that I couldn’t sleep throughout the night. Within a couple sessions, I was already feeling way better!
I came in with an incapacitating lower back muscle pain, not being able to stand or walk for more than 30 or 45 seconds. A short few weeks later (with a lot of helpful exercises from Eric), I am totally pain free. Kind of incredible !!
I've been working with Eric for almost a year now and hands down he is the best physical therapist I've ever had. The PT regimen for my shoulder and knee, amongst other body parts, that he has rolled out for me has resulted in greatly enhanced mobility and increased strength, which has exceeded my expectations. I'm still a work in progress but am confident that I'll achieve the goals that Eric initially outlined for me when we started our collaboration!
I highly recommend Dr Eric Schulte and Longevity!I have osteoarthritis and require a lot of physical therapy for several different joints. I have had good experiences with therapists in the past however they focused on the affected area rather than using the whole body approach. With Eric I have learned that everything is connected and strengthening the muscles around the joint and beyond stabilizes and supports it. It's the best remedy for relieving pain. He includes breathing and core techniques as well so after my appointments my body and mind feel so much better. I am so grateful for finding Longevity PT and Eric Schulte!
I had been battling knee pain for what felt like ages, and it was truly starting to take a toll on my daily life. When doctors diagnosed me with arthritis in both knees and suggested I might just have to live with it, I felt defeated. Walking became a chore, and I found myself moving like someone much older than my years. Despite trying various treatments, including multiple Cortisone shots followed by hyaluronic injections, the relief was only temporary.Then, I discovered Longevity Physical Therapy in Carlsbad and met Doctor Eric Schulte. From the moment I walked in, I knew this was different. Dr. Schulte didn't just treat my symptoms; he took the time to understand my unique situation. He crafted a personalized regimen of exercises, stretches, and targeted release points that were tailored specifically to me.The results? Nothing short of amazing. After years of enduring the pain, I can proudly say it's completely gone. What's more incredible is that it wasn't some complicated, convoluted routine that did the trick. Dr. Schulte's approach introduced me to simple yet effective exercises that I had never encountered before.Now, I'm living a life free from knee pain and free from the need for shots or medication. If you're tired of the cycle of treatments and want to reclaim your youthfulness, I wholeheartedly recommend Doctor Eric Schulte and the incredible team at Longevity Physical Therapy. Their dedication, expertise, and personalized care truly make all the difference.
Very professional and knowledgeable Physical Therapists. With their help I accomplished goals that I didn't think it was possible. Thank you for your help and support. I am very grateful to Eric who is my hero.
I have worked with Kristin and Eric at San Marcus Longevity. They are both excellent therapists. They have helped me through a knee replacement, two shoulder replacements, and severe arthritis in my feet. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and professional.
Great pt session with Casey
Many thanks to the Longevity Physical Therapy team, especially Kristen Lopez, whose excellent rehabilitation of an injured knee enabled me return to normal walking. Additionally and amazingly, they successfully prepared me for a three week physically challenging trip to the southern Patagonia area. Kristen’s focused therapies for flexibility, strength and balance overcame the injury pain and my lack of exercise for five months. I now enjoy normal mobility and am returning to exercise. In addition to getting me back to functional mobility, Kristen developed custom exercises specifically to strengthen my knee for the activities I would encounter on my trip. I enjoyed my trip’s demanding terrain without thinking about my knee. I simply can’t say enough positive things about Longevity.
Kristen Lopez, DPT, did a wonderful job of treating both my knee replacements and my frozen shoulder. In each case, she evaluated my problem and created a treatment plan. She did an excellent job in explaining the purpose of each exercise and in giving me follow-up exercised to perform at home. I highly recommend Longevity Physical Therapy in San Marcos and Bressi Ranch.
I've mostly worked with Kristen after my knee replacement. I had started my out patient PT elsewhere, but didn't feel I was getting individualized treatment or any real plan. At Longevity there is constant interaction and monitoring of my progress as well as input on how to modify exercises to improve overall muscle balance and quality of life. They have me booked out for multiple visits and I really value the consideration and care that I want to get back to a very physical lifestyle. These folks are truly awesome.
I've had a severe ankle injury for a year and a half now. Previous previous PT was too agressive and caused me pain. Then I went to another place that had a pool and it was great but only improved to a point, still not normal. I came to Longevity in San Marcos and had the good fortune to receive treatment from Eric. He customized my treatment and I was amazed at the progress after only 2 visits. When I came I was faced with possible surgery and now I'm encouraged that I may make a full recovery without surgery. After having been to other places that were filthy, this new, clean facility is contemporary and inviting. Previously, I had a therapist that would give me only 10-15 minutes of attention over an hour and a half, and sometimes gave me a new exercise and walked away without watching to see if I was doing it correctly (he had to handle the seven other patients he was handling at the same time). At Longevity, Eric is fully present and focused on my needs for the whole visit, always starting on time and never cutting the visit short. When an appointment had to be cancelled, he called to make sure I was still making progress. He's a tremendous asset to the organization.
Highly recommend Longevity! I can’t say enough how great this place is and I’m on the road to recovery! Unlike a lot of PT places that I’ve contacted, Longevity contacted me back almost immediately. There are some places that don’t even call/email you back. From the front desk (Amanda), to my PTs Eric, Rachel and Kristen, they are not only phenomenal in what they do but they are also great people! My dislocated knee is now almost 100% recovered thanks to them after only about 2 months. If you’re in the area looking for the best physical therapy, look here first!
Written by Roberta Boyle (patient):Eric Schulte deserves more than a 5 star rating !! I first saw Eric in February of 2022 for a rotator cuff issue. Eric was outstanding in diagnosing the primary and secondary impairments which most likely contributed to the increased demand on my rotator cuff. He provided me with a hard copy of his "Initial Exam" and "Plan of Care" which fully explained to me what we were dealing with and what we were going to do to treat it. I wanted to stay with Eric, but his facility was quite a distance from my house.So I checked out 2 other facilities just minutes from my house. Neither of these facilities could even come close to providing the excellence and dedication that Eric and Longevity could. This is because Longevity allows their Physical Therapists to spend an entire 40 uninterrupted minutes with each patient.Longevity employs many highly qualified PTs which are able to design the program to the patient. Other facilities just run patients thru a "one size fits all" exercise protocol utilizing assistants - not PTs. Longevity provides their patients with email access to "their PT" so that if their patients have questions, they can communicate between appointments.Finally, one year later in February of 2023, I was back at Longevity with Eric Schulte following surgery on the rotator cuff. I am not exaggerating when I say that the surgery would not have produced such an outstanding result if not for Eric Schulte's expertise and dedication. A surgeon can only do what a surgeon does. The success of the surgery depends on the rehabilitation process that follows. My rehabilitation experience was top notch thanks to Eric and Longevity !!
Fixed me right up ! Highly recommend this place
I can write a book here! I had pain for years and tried 5 different facilities till I found this jewel. If they can’t fix you nobody else can. Facility is gorgeous, staff are all top notch, very professional and friendly, and honestly care to get you going again.
I totally give this PT facility a 10+. Eric is the best. I have had 2 sessions with him and have gotten more positive results than in the 8-9 months at the other facility I was going to. This facility is very professional and well educated in what they do. If you’re looking for physical therapy please give them a try you won’t be disappointed.
John and Marie had the pleasure to meet and work with Eric several years ago for issues of balance, age and knees. Now he is helping me with problems due to Parkinson’s disease and John because of a fall. Eric always greets us with a big smile. He is very patient, easy to talk to, and has a great knowledge of how to help treat our problems. He tries to vary the exercises as much as possible. He is a great therapist, always in a good mood. He sends us home with pictures to help us do our exercises at home. We recommend him higly to anyone needing physical therapy.
Very clean state of the art physical therapy office. Eric provided me with an effective home routine to strengthen and improve knee mobility to combat osteoarthritis. Thanks to Longevity PT, I’m still able to hike and maintain an active lifestyle. Highly recommend this office and it’s friendly and professional staff.
Eric is the best PT I've ever worked with...and I've worked with MANY of them. He really listens, tailors the exercises to the individual, and even does great manual releases. THANK YOU, Eric!!
I have worked with Kristen Lopez, DPT, throughout my lengthy, challenging rehab from total knee replacement. I could not imagine having a more knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective guide. The Longevity treatment model, which has the patient working with the physical therapist for the entire visit, is superior. Kristen is witty and fun; she excels at hands-on manipulation and assessed my form during every exercise. Her laser focus kept me motivated to do my best and ensured that my efforts were beneficial. Kristen (and Longevity) will be my lifelong resource.
Came in for back pain which was relieved quickly with the exercises and “homework” I was given. Great location and easy to get to! Clean facility! Great staff and therapist! Rachel was great!
I have worked with Rachel Oakley over the course of nine months on a variety of issues including skeletal muscular weakness, rehab after foot surgery and long standing balance issues. She has a broad understanding of these conditions and was able to provide a variety of exercises adapted to my needs. She helped organize a variety of activities that I can do at the gym. Rachel is very upbeat and encouraging. She communicates very clearly and is willing to go over the steps in an exercise so that it is understood. When asked to explain the why behind an ache or exercise, she clearly explains it. Rachel is bright, enthusiastic, patient, and empathetic. This was always a positive experience.
Kind, conscientious, and knowledgeable staff who consistently listened to me and adapted to my goals. Big thanks to Kristen and Rachel for getting my confidence and strength back after three ACL surgeries. The bright and open space is icing on the cake!
I have been seeing Kristen. We’re probably over two months now. First off the facility is beautiful. I have been to the Bressi location as well as the new San Marcos location and both are very clean. Kept up very nice. All the equipment is new. Kristen is very easy to work with And has helped me tremendously with my lower back and hip issue. She is professional, yet makes me feel like she cares about me and my well-being. We had a goal of getting me back to being able to do yoga classes again. We do stretching and alignment and We also do a variety of strengthening exercises and then she gives me exercises to do at home as well. I am back to practicing yoga. I highly recommend Kristen and her staff.
