Jonathans treatment for my workout soreness was exceptional. He tailored a plan specifically for my needs, and I felt significant relief after just one session. His expertise in muscle recovery and prevention tips were invaluable. Highly recommended for anyone dealing with post-workout soreness!

I am a mountain biker and I used to love running and lifting. Every year that went by since my late twenties I had increasing pain in my left knee and right hip, eventually getting to the point where I stopped lifting and running. Finally, I decided to go to PT.
I booked my first trial appointment with Jonathan.I was blown away that in the first 20 minutes of being there he identified several potential causes for the pain I had been experiencing, all of which were validated by the exercises he prescribed. Within the first week of my exercises and stretches, I could already tell a difference in my pain and knew I was on the right path. now, my strength is rivaling that of my 26 year old self, but this time no pain under load. I am now able to run again pain-free. I still have days where things feel tight, but with the exercises and knowledge that Jonathan gave me I feel like the sky is the limit in terms of the progress I can continue to make.
Thank you Jonathan de Castro PT for enabling me to get back my activities again pain free, and giving me tools that I can use for the rest of my life.
I recommend Jonathan 💯.

I recently suffered an ankle sprain and was treated by Jonathan De Castro. From the moment I arrived, his expertise and professionalism were evident. He conducted a thorough assessment of my injury and provided a clear treatment plan. His approach included lymphatic drainage, which significantly reduced the swelling and pain in my ankle. Under his care, I experienced a much faster recovery than I anticipated. Jonathans knowledge and personalized attention made a tremendous difference, and I highly recommend his services for anyone dealing with similar injuries.
