Patient Success Stories & Reviews

I’ve been receiving physical therapy for a month now on my (once frozen) shoulder and have enjoyed every minute of it. The staff is superb and the prescribed regimens are extremely effective. My go to PT is Rebecca. She is the bomb– amazing talent, great personality, & genuinely caring. Her assistant, Christina is also fantastic. After a few visits, I’ve progressed tremendously and now have full motion in my shoulder. Am so grateful to the Rausch team…highly recommend!

Best place to go for physical therapy, in Dana Point.  Clay was my therapist, he is excellent! Everyone there are friendly and very helpful.

Thank you all for everything.

I have been going to Rausch for PT and massages for several years. They are excellent at matching you up with someone with expertise in your area of need. Recently, I have been seeing Roland for a few athletic injuries and his knowledge and experience are second to none. He worked on my torn rotator cuff that I just re-injured and I was sure it was going to put me out of commission for a while for activities like pickleball. However, after just one session, he helped me regain my mobility and the pain was lessened tremendously to where I’m confident I can now get out and play again. If you want a relaxing massage, you may want to go to someone else but if you want someone to work on any issues you have and get real results, Roland and his team are the go to therapists.

I’ve been going to Rausch physical therapy for my massages for four years. I go to the Dana point location and Kevin is the best massage therapist I’ve ever been to. He listens to your needs and he will do a sports deep massage. I come here weekly and highly suggest it.

Dr. Annaliese Richtsmeier is a miracle worker as far as I am concerned. I have been to many pelvic floor physical therapists and she is by far the best. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She zeroed in on my hidden trigger points and helped me get them under control, while also setting up a truly appropriate and comprehensive treatment and exercise program for me, considering all my goals and needs. The Mission Viejo location of Rausch PT & Wellness is a peaceful and inviting environment. All the staff are friendly, attentive and kind. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Melody is amazing! She has such a relaxing touch, but can also go firmer when needed. I really appreciate how she checks in to make sure you’re comfortable with the pressure, music level, and table warmer. She creates such a comfortable and relaxing experience. I already have another massage booked with her and can’t wait!

I’m impressed with Rausch! I see Dr. Camery Cano, and she is excellent! She really knows what she is doing and has been helping so much! She is also lovely to work with. She is friendly, kind and really cares about the people she works with. This is the best physical therapy experience I’ve ever had!

Dr. Analise Richtsmeier with Rauch PT is an exceptional physical therapist. I have been dealing with chronic leg issues (hamstring, back of knee) for around 12 years. I start to slowly to get back into running and then major pain and failure of left leg than 3-6 months off again before able to walk/jog to any degree. Dr. Richtsmeier got in there and worked hard to break up years of adhesions and tendinitis. After 6-7 weeks of sessions I feel like I have a new leg and able to jog again. Still taking it slow and strengthening but I feel at 61 years old I’m have a new opportunity to be active and do the things I enjoy. Very happy I made the decision to go to Rausch, very effective PT, better than any other PT I have tried.

Everyone at Rausch is great. I’ve been working mostly with Nick, who is so knowledgeable and caring. But everyone I’ve worked with has been great and all added their expertise to helping heal my neck and back. I’ve been going consistently for 6 months and I’ve gone from being so weak that I could barely step up onto a curb to walking upstairs without even thinking about it. My back has gotten so much stronger and I feel like I can live my life more productively than I could before I started. Physical therapy really works if you work it, and Rausch is the best place with the best people! Don’t be afraid to get started, everyone there is so nice and not intimidating. Just do it!

I went to Dr. Dani my second and third trimester of pregnancy, and there’s no one I could recommend more to help with pelvic, back and hip pain during pregnancy. She was incredibly educational, hands-on and helpful. I am now continuing to see her postpartum, and I owe a lot of my healing and strength regaining to her! Highly recommended for anyone struggling…

Rausch Physical Therapy stands out as the most comprehensive and thorough physical therapy office I have ever experienced. The team of physical therapists, including Kathryn, Andrew, Clay, and Nick, are exceptional. Their expertise ensures that you will see the desired results quickly.

Came in feeling like a creaky folding chair held together by duct tape and sheer willpower; leaving feeling like a finely tuned athletic machine. The team here somehow manages to make rehabbing an injury feel less like a chore and more like a high-energy comedy routine where you also accidentally get completely healed. They know exactly how far to push you, explain the why behind every stretch and exercise, and celebrate every milestone along the way. If you’re broken, stiff, or just moving like a rusty robot, do yourself a favor and get in here. 10/10!

Dr. Dani took such good care of me after I came to her postpartum! I was in so much pain and after just a few sessions I felt significant improvement. I’m so grateful that I was able to see her and will continue to do so

Just finished my PT visits at the DP location of Rausch and couldn’t be any happier! Limped into the office last month with Osteoarthritis of my left knee and Andrew and the rest of his crew were amazing getting me back to 100%! Everyone was super friendly and efficient and made the treatment visits fly by… First time receiving physical therapy, really didn’t know what to expect but so happy with my results!

Another calendar year, which means insurance approval to go back to Dr Sarah Young at Laguna Niguel Rausch Physical Therapy. Attentive, professional, great personality, she knows her stuff. I’ve experienced great progress since being treated by her for torn meniscus. Great environment too.

I’m so pleased with my experience with Joelle so far during my recovery journey. I was feeling very unsure of what my days and weeks would look and feel like, but now I just look forward to seeing and working with her. She’s got great energy and is so encouraging and knowledgeable. I’ve gotten so much more confidence and mobility since starting with her a couple of weeks ago. (Sidenote – the AI receptionist is a little strange for a business focused on physical touch.)

Taking my mom here who is 77 years old. She had a back injury two months ago and has lost so much muscle on top of being in quite a bit of pain and discomfort, and not being able to do much at all. The WHOLE team here sincerely, seems so knowledgeable, caring, attentive, and helpful! I could go on and on about how happy we are with my mom’s care. She’s been three or four times already and has gotten noticeably stronger and feel so much more confident in her long-term. So grateful we found this place

Rausch Physical Therapy is an excellent place to go. Everyone there is very professional and knowledgeable. Dr. Sara helping me to recover nicely. Anthony was very helpful with me and trying to get my insurance and referral set up. They also have excellent massage therapist as well!

Rausch has been instrumental in my recovery from a cervical (neck) c5/6 injury. Dr. Dani is a rockstar – knowledgable, friendly, professional and deep in expertise needed to exercise and strengthen the muscles needed to get me back in the surf. Progress has been amazing. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I started at Rausch about two weeks ago to help deal with some chronic neck pain, and boy am I impressed! The therapists (shout out to Ryan and Jordan) are amazing!! And Selina on the front desk has been so incredibly helpful, going above and beyond to make me feel welcome! Thank you, Rausch!

This was my first time doing physical therapy for carpal tunnel after having my baby. Dr. Sarah was very attentive and the massage she provided combined with the exercises with the physical therapy aides Rachel and Desiree was really helpful. All employees were welcoming, including Anthony at the front! Easy to reschedule or change appointments and good vibes overall. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Rausch Physical Therapy & Wellness – Laguna Niguel. The staff is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about their patients. They take the time to explain the treatment plan, answer questions, and provide individualized care. The therapists create a welcoming environment and are focused on helping patients recover safely and effectively. I have had a very positive experience and would confidently recommend them to family and friends.

I’ve used Rausch for multiple injuries and they always get me back 100%. My daughter is a patient as well and they’re getting her healed as well. I’d like to point out some great people. Andrew and Katheryn have been outstanding. Scheduling was seamless and a breeze with Selina. Gus has been a great aide for my daughter. Thank you to everyone else at the DP location who make this location the best.

My experience at Rausch on Alicia Pkwy has been wonderful every time. Scheduling was easy, they are kind & friendly. I had physical therapy and wellness massages and both were excellent experiences! Analise was so helpful, I feel so much better after the sessions. She helped me get relief and gave me recommendations for continuing to stay feeling my best! Definitely recommend Rausch.

Rausch Physical Therapy is excellent. There are highly qualified, experienced professionals here to help with my prescription and the work I do here helps me very much. The office us upbeat, warm and friendly and most professional. Also, I enjoy my appointments because of the wonderful staff (Shout Out to Daniel!) and super clean environment.

Everything Rausch has recommended involving treatment for my condition has been appropriate and top-notch!

All the PTs, MTs, and Stretch fixologists are amazing! I have gone for several injuries and my daughter is recovering from ACL surgery and loves it. Such a family and positive environment! Highly recommend!!!

I had a great experience at Rausch. Clay was my therapist. He was outstanding! The entire staff was friendly and helpful. My shoulder problem was corrected. You won’t be disappointed if you go to Rausch Dana Point!

Used them twice for recovery from knee surgery. Everyone is smart, friendly, personable, and professional. I heartily recommend them.
