Craig Rice was my physical therapist with a therapy group in Encinitas Ca. I saw Craig multiple times for different ailments and for pre-op and post-op on a major back/spine fusion Surgery. Because of my job and traffic issues driving to his office; Craig was good enough to see me as early as 8am 2 times a week. Craig always had a positive attitude with high energy and his knowledge of the human body exceeded any and all of expectations. But most important he is a Healer, and he heals bodies with his hands and his knowledge. If you use Craig as your therapist you will not be disappointed and you will feel better.

I have been seeing Craig for more than 12 years for a variety of needs ranging from knee pain, surgical rehab, back pain, and hip pain. Most therapists I had seen in the past would usually take 10 visits to fix your problem. Craig has been the opposite. He has actually fixed me a few times in only a single visit. I have reached out to him to work with me in my home when he was no longer working at his old clinic and other PTs I tired could not resolve my issue. And cure me he did. He's the best in the business!

Craig Rice is an excellent physical therapist (PT) with superior knowledge of sports-related injuries, prevention, and recovery.  As a doctor of PT and athlete himself, Craig has the ability to assess and apply his medical background in a way that maximizes a person’s physical performance.  I’ve used his services for forearm strengthening (tennis elbow), to diagnose and quickly fix a jammed knee from a ski crash, and to correct a misaligned SI joint for improved flexibility and performance in golf, surfing, and other activities.  For overall strength and injury prevention, I’ve used his recommended shoulder exercises consistently for years as part of my weightlifting routine.

My wife, 12-year old son, and son’s teammate have also used Craig’s services with great success.  We recommend him without hesitation to anyone with an injury or to someone who is simply looking to build strength and flexibility.
