I met with Dr. Polanco four months after I fractured my back. He was referred to me by a friend who worked with him post hip replacement surgery. He met with one patient at a time, disinfecting all areas touched by the previous client before calling me in from outside. We both wore masks I felt safe working in the gym at PhysioCare. I worked with Dr. Polanco pretty consistently for 6 and a half months. I was experiencing pain, stiffness, lack of mobility. I had gained weight and was fighting depression. Dr. P. Was positive he could address all areas of concern to me. He read my radiology reports and my physicians notes. Music was always playing in the gym, which really helped. We started slow, I had exercises to do every day at home. At first I felt my progress was slow and many sessions I left exhausted and aching. It was frustrating, but Dr. P. Pointed out my progress, always ending each session with a positive comment. Bottom line -I couldn’t have accomplished in rehab what I did without Dr. P! If you think your chronic illness will keep you from making progress, Give Dr. P a call, he accommodated my issues with rheumatoid arthritis. I will return to work on strength and fitness goals very soon. Happy New Year!

I found Dr.Jessie on Instagram…. I went to my initial appointment for back pain . I haven’t had many issues with my back , I’ve been in the gym 6 days a week weight training for the last 6 years , After 6 weeks of dealing with this pain in my back I made my appointment with Dr.Jessie. When I got to the office and met with Dr.Jessie it was hard to put full weight on my left leg with the back pain I was experiencing. . Dr.Jessie was so knowledgeable and made me so comfortable explaining everything as he went through my initial consultation. After my 1st visit I could feel instant relief and by the 5th visit my back is is feeling better then it has since the injury. Dr.Jessie is so thorough with all the procedures he does and always lets you know what he’s doing as he’s doing it. By far the best Physical therapist I’ve ever experienced… He’s also super knowledgeable with weightlifting and understands the injury aspect from experience. Highly recommended….

I can’t begin to express my gratitude to Jesse. In March of 2023, I could barely walk into his place with lower back pain that would shoot up my spine and down my legs. After 2 visits I had enough relief in pain to start my rehab. Under his supervision and guidance, 6 months later I’m not only pain free but achieving personal records in weight lifting and exercise. No surgery, no medications. Just hard work and dedication to feeling better with his oversight and knowledge. Scheduling is a breeze since all communication is with him and him only. Mostly through text messaging and email. There is no receptionist or scheduling department to waste your time. If your appointment is an hour, you get a full hour with just you and him. I can’t speak highly enough about the entire experience. If your in doubt, just give him 1-2 sessions. You won’t be disappointed. Jesse…in all sincerity, THANK YOU! -Joe

I have been seeing Dr. Jesse for the last 3 weeks. After years of lingering back pain I could not shake, I herniated a disc causing shooting pains down my left leg, weakness in my left leg (I collapsed a few times when walking) and numbness in my right foot. Dr. Jesse correctly diagnosed my issue as a herniated disc, started me on dry needling with electrical stimulation (DNES) along with cupping, scraping and TENS therapy. This along with his customized physical therapy workout and stretch routines has me going from a pain level of 10/10 or 9/10 to 2/10 or 3/10 and well on my way to being pain free. I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Jesse if you have ANY BACK PAIN! Do not be an idiot like I was and deal with lingering back pain for 2 years, trying to “fix it yourself” and then ultimately truly damaging something like I did.

Dr. Jesse Polanco and his practice is amazing. I was referred from another client of his for back pain. My back pain is from doing Crossfit and mobility issues. I would wake up with lower lumbar back pain and as the day went on it would resolve. But some days during the winter it would be more stiff and painful out of bed than usual. I went to his office. By the way, getting an appointment with him is very simple. His assessment of my mobility and strenght was so through. He did the initial work on my back and it was an immediate difference. His follow up appointments are more than 15 minutes which made the difference between him and other DPT's. I'm currently doing great and do not wake up with any back pain. It is because of Dr. Polanco. Highly recommend him!

Jessie was fantastic. I started going to his practice around October after a lower back surgery due to herniated disc. I lived in San Antonio, but I was in Tampa for two weeks for work every month. He managed to make my schedule work and get solid care to make me strong. I will do physical therapy while in Tampa, and when I go back to San Antonio for two weeks, he will send me to work out plans to follow. When I started, I had zero lower back strength. By the time I finished my PT in February, just about five months after surgery, I was squatting 115lbs. I am 140 lbs. That was the most I ever squatted. He's very throughout when explaining the movements. Great choice of PT if you are looking to rehab, get stronger, work on mobility or get deep tissue work.

I came to Dr. Jesse with debilitating back pain that prevented me from bending over. My back pain plagued me for years and only grew worse with age and the inactive nature of my desk job. I had already been to other physical therapists who weren’t able to diagnose or fix my problem, and was skeptical about trying again. Dr. Jesse, however, was able to diagnose my issue immediately and in 6 weeks had me pain free, and squatting and deadlifting heavy weight again. Dr. Jesse is extremely knowledgeable and went the extra mile to get me where I wanted to be. Feels incredible to be pain free again.

Amazing experience working with Jesse. He spends time personalizing prehab/rehab protocols with various exercises catered to your body and unique needs. He reviews exercises with you, making sure you’re able to execute them properly, and sends your program electronically, with videos/pics, so referring to it is easy. In addition to corrective exercise, Jesse uses other methods such as manipulations, soft tissue work, and more, which are, again, chosen to fit your needs. No two sessions are the same routine. Jesse is responsive between sessions, provides feedback in a timely manner.

Jesse has been AMAZING! I’ve been going to see him for the past few month as a body builder. Initially Jesse started pouring passion into me as a project, I could see how he truly loves what he does. Since my first visit he has continued to demonstrate absolute expertise, professionalism, and “yes” attitude. All things I would pray for when it’s someone cracking your body and who’s job it is to help you get better. To end this review I’m happy to say I will continue going to see Jesse, he’s truly amazing at what he does.

Dr. Polanco is amazing! The services that I receive from Dr. Polanco is excellent. He is one of the kindest professionals I’ve had the pleasure in meeting. From his superb treatments, attentiveness, curiosity, and investigative mind and ability to connect, you know where you stand immediately and what next steps to take. Since Dr. Polanco is very thorough and knowledgeable, I immediately without hesitation felt confident and at ease in receiving treatment. I highly recommend becoming his patient.

I have to say that Dr Jesse has been phenomenal in my rotator cuff injury recovery. When I went to him, I came into a world I never knew. I had never been injured so I didn’t know what to do. Through various exercises and routines, I now have regained my mobilization in my shoulder without pain. It’s still a journey for full recovery, but I can accept that. I needed someone that understood sports injuries. I can’t offer enough praise to Dr Jesse. Highly highly recommend checking him out.

I was in town on business and had been experiencing back pain for quite awhile, so I decided to schedule and appointment with Dr. Jesse, and I’m so glad I did! He was very professional, knowledgeable, and had great bedside manner. It was a very easy process to schedule an appointment, I was seen promptly, and most importantly, my back problems went away! My quality of life improved instantly and I wish I had scheduled an appointment sooner with him. 5 stars all the way!

I first started seeing Dr. Jesse in January 2022 after a back injury that kept me out of the gym for almost 3 months. His knowledge, commitment to his craft and professionalism all played a huge role in my 6 month recovery. I continue to come in monthly for maintenance work. I can’t express how happy i am to have found him and his practice. He’s helped my body stay in optimal shape and im extremely grateful. I highly recommend PhysioCare Spine and Sport!

Dr. Jesse has been working with me for almost 6 months to not only get out of pain but to strengthen up areas that can help prevent injuries in the future. I was struggling to walk and bend over when I first set up an appointment with him and now I am back to powerlifting pain free after a combination of corrective exercises and soft tissue work. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and patient DPT, I highly recommend Dr. Jesse Polanco!

I tore my rotator cuff at a powerlifting meet, was diagnosed with a medium sized tear and unfortunately had to have surgery. The surgeon said I would never press heavy weight again. I went to see Dr. polanco 4 weeks after my surgery, and by week 4 I had full range of motion. I was able to stick to the rehab program and 6 months after surgery I was able to bench 315 pounds and I’m planning on competing in a few months.

Dr Jessie has been a lifesaver for me or at least a life style saver. I was referred to him by a friend at a very vulnerable time physically and emotionally. At 79, I was having balance issues after back surgery and was afraid to attempt activities that I had always enjoyed. After working with Dr Jessie, I like to think I’ve gone from Physical Therapy to Physical Training. I have and would recommend him to anyone.

I came in with multiple problems areas such as my quad and low back. In weeks Jesse helped me fix those areas. He did this by not just looking at those areas but getting to the root of the problem. He’s exercise programs had great progressions to get me back to normal. He understood my goals and did everything in he’s power to get me to my goal. I can not say enough great things about Jesse.

I was in a car accident a little over 3 years ago and my neck pain has been increasingly worsening. My husband found Dr. Jesse online and after just 1 visit I was feeling better. Every time I went he gave me new exercises that really improved my pain. Now I have a routine thah I can maintain to keep my pain down. I would definitely recommend Dr. Jesse to anyone struggling with pain.

Dr. Jesse is incredibly knowledgeable and goes above and beyond every session. I only regret not coming to him sooner! He was able to help me rehabilitate my sprained foot, pulled trap, correct my hip imbalance and other weaker parts of my body. I’ve never felt better, stronger and I sleep well at night without all the terrible back and neck pain from my previous car accident

I would highly recommend going to Dr. Jesse Polanco for everything Physical Therapy. I’ve had back issues for years and have been referred to multiple PT clinics, always with limited success. I found Dr. Polanco myself on Google and it was a great decision! My back hasn’t felt better in years. Jesse knows what he is doing and is very personable as well!

Jesse has been a life saver. I had complications with my hip replacement and with his help and expertise has helped me regain my strength, range of motion, core strength, flexibility and a variety of exercises and activities that I can perform at. I couldn't ask anything more from my physical therapist.

Truly an amazing Physical Therapist. I have been for several injuries and Dr. Jesse is so knowledgeable and hands on. He provides you a personalized exercise plan and he uses many techniques to help you heal and get back your range of motion. I can’t say enough good things about PhysioCare!

Dr.Jesse is a must see for any pain or discomfort you might be having. He takes his time to evaluate your needs and provides you with exercises to do outside of seeing him. Not to mention he’s just an all around good dude. Highly recommend to anyone who reads this.

Great experience rehabbing with Jesse, can’t recommend him enough. Every session was an hour of 1 on 1 time with him and he would give me exercises to do at home as well to progress my recovery. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for rehab.

Dr Polanco is spectacular! He’s a consummate professional, and personable, and provided safe and effective treatment. He also created a personalized rehab plan that has helped tremendously with my back pain. I have had great results!

Dr. Jesse is very professional, always provides a great session, and is detailed with info, feedback, and how proceed moving forward to reach your goal. I’m a trainer and refer my clients. They have always had positive experiences.

Gentle Giant! Just after my 1st session I could feel and see a difference. He takes his time and doesn’t rush through the session. After my 2nd session I am feeling even better! Highly recommend!

Dr. Jesse is a phenomenal physical therapist! Especially knowledgeable in strength sports. I’ve seen Dr. Jesse for years and he’s taught me several methods to both rehab and prehab.

Dr. Jesse is the best. First you are supporting a small business. Second, his personalized approach to physical therapy will help you to see results in a very short time.

Dr. Jesse is the best! Very knowledgeable and makes effective use of time for the whole session, every session. Cannot recommend him highly enough

Love working with Jesse, very professional and knowledgeable. He is very good at his job and gets full use of an hour session.

Very knowledgable and cares about his patients. Willing to try different techniques to fit patient wants and needs

Awesome consultation with the doctor! Truly cares about the patients needs

Great people, very knowledgeable and patient, Highly recommended!
