Testimonials
This is not like any other physical therapy practice I've been to in the past. Your therapist works with you the whole session. There are no aides /students/slightly trained people working with you for part of the time. All hands-on professionals.

I am so grateful for what Erin has given me. I have tried a number of physical therapists before meeting Erin but none with the patience, knowledge and determination she has shared with me. After years of back pain and eight surgeries on my leg from a car accident, I had about given up on getting better. Erin laid out a plan and made me stick to it. It worked! I’m mobile and feeling great. Many thanks to Erin and Blue Water Physical Therapy!

I have been seeing Julie for over a month now and could not be more pleased. I have been dealing with back issues for years and more recently some neck stiffness and dizziness. Been to several different PT's, acupuncture, massage therapy, yoga, pilates, prescription NSAIDS and so on. Currently working with a regenerative medicine physician with lumbar and cervical injections to treat SI joint and arthritis and degeneration. Julie has taken me back to basics to re-pattern how my muscles work together, as they have compensated after years of dealing with an injury that probably never healed correctly. Julie is compassionate, encouraging and extremely knowledgeable about body mechanics. She observes you and your movements from the time you walk in the door. Highly recommend.

Everything you have been looking for in PT is provided by Blue Water Physical Therapy, and specifically Madison Milici. Convenient, stunning location... check. Clean, complex, new equipment and exceptionally knowledgeable PT professionals... check. Hyper-personalized attention and genuine care... undoubtedly. Blue Water Physical Therapy(BWPT) has a world-class "client first" approach. This is real, hands-on PT. While exercises are a critical part of recovery, your sessions are far from a list of directions for machines and bands. Rather, in the BWPT hands-on PT environment, you will be manipulated, stretched, cupped, and massaged to recovery. From the most complex injuries to the most persistent pains, Madison Milici and BWPT will treat your mind and your body while guiding you along a fruitful path to recovery. Thank you Madison for bringing me back from a shattered elbow and wrist!!
Riley Elliot - Encinitas
For several years, I experienced pain in the left side of my neck radiating down deeply under my shoulder blade. This pain became so intense that I sought treatment from an orthopedic medical practice. After diagnostic testing I was sent for a short course of physical therapy, which was offered at the same practice. Some relief followed but was short lived. Spinal injections were then recommended to “possibly” relieve my pain. Rather than following this treatment plan I sought a non-surgical solution. I was referred to Erin Malecha at BWPT for evaluation and treatment. Erin designed an exercise program and treatment plan for me, which addressed posture, strength, and balance and ultimately provided me with relief from my pain. I was given specific exercises to continue at home and following her direction I am now able to avoid neck pain and take action if it reoccurs. Erin is a highly skilled physical therapist that treats the whole person in a caring, supportive way.

I had been fighting an on-going stomach muscle strain which had been preventing me from doing the activities I love. After months of struggling on my own I took action and visited Blue Water Physical Therapy. I worked with Julie who so quickly established a game plan for my recovery. After only a couple short months I recovered beyond what I thought my full athletic range was. I've learned a ton along the way and the knowledge has truly changed my life. The entire staff was so friendly it really made every visit enjoyable.

Sharry Powell- Oceanside
I was post second spinal fusion LS-S1 and I was unable to lead a normal life. I couldn’t exercise or sit for any extended period of time at work. All facets of my life were affected. I had been to three different physical therapists over three years with no positive results. My ultimate dream was to surf again with my son. l am happy to say that I am currently back in the water and surfing. Erin’s focus, knowledge and one-on-one style of physical therapy brought me back to an active lifestyle.

I am so happy to have found Blue Water Physical Therapy. After years of pain following an accident and failed back surgery I had just about given up on PT. I have been through a lot of physical therapy over the past few years and all of the other facilities just prescribed the same useless exercises over and over again, UGH! Blue Water Physical Therapy has a completely unique approach. They actually listen to me! Imagine that! They have tailored a therapy specifically for me and I’m finally making progress.
Annie S. - Carlsbad, CA
Erin is the fourth physical therapist to try and solve my chronic left leg adductor pain. The other physical therapists addressed the issue with active release however; I had only temporary relief from pain. Erin addressed my left lower extremity and foot mechanics and now I am finally pain free.
Lisanne E. - Leucadia, CA
I highly recommend this practice! I was referred to Erin by my sports medicine doctor, Alexandra Bunyak /Boundless MD. The surroundings are comfortable. Erin is empathetic and on top of her game! What a find!
Mary W. - Del Mar, CA
It is not an exaggeration to say these guys have improved my life significantly. The treatment is challenging but fantastic. Expect to do work and get results. The “hands on” with Erin is great and has done wonders for my damaged and aging neck. What sets this place apart though, is the atmosphere and attitude. You are always greeted with a sincere smile, positive encouragement and sometimes the added benefit of a friendly ear about issues outside of your therapy. The fact that they take Tricare referrals is also great. They have my highest recommendation.

If I had not joined Blue Water Physical Therapy for treatment, I think I would have regressed in my overall ability to stay active. I have returned to BWPT periodically for five years.I am pleased to have BWPT as a resource to stay healthy and active.
Alan Glasser - Del Mar, CA
For the first time in in two years I am sleeping and waking up without pain. Erin has shown me how to exercise properly for my bulging disc. I have more energy and feel so much better.
Donna Henson - San Marcos, CA
Erin Malecha is a wonderful and gifted Physical Therapist. I started going to her over 1 year ago. I was afraid of what might happen and in a lot of pain. She reassured me and through her treatments and exercise recommendations, I was quickly no longer in pain and on my way to recovery. She is a God-Send!
