Emily Schmidt | December 15, 2020

Since we are located in the Del Mar Highlands, kitty corner to the world-famous Torrey Pines Golf Course, many of our patients are avid golfers. The sport is incredibly special to them, representing time outdoors with friends and family, enjoyable exercise, and a way to recharge. Maybe you feel the same way.

Walk Right to Stop Your Knees, Hips, and Back from Hurting

Dr. Youngsun Kim | August 20, 2020

You might not think it, but how you walk matters. I’m serious. Walking right is one of the simplest and most important ways to keep your knees, hips, and back from hurting. There are many different ways to walk, but not all of them keep you from pain and enable you to walk long distances without tiring.Continue Reading »

I am a long time patient of physical therapy services. I happened upon this hidden treasure a couple months ago and I want to share my respect for the treatment I have received. I can’t turn my head when I walk in and leave with almost full range of motion They are a practice with a husband wife team. And they are new to our area I highly recommend their services. He is extremely talented at working through the intricacy of chronic pain.

Youngsun Kim is an excellent, knowledgeable and caring physical therapist. He knows the body’s workings bet than any therapist I’ve seen. He is very compassionate and thorough in his treatments, going the extra mile to help, looking at the whole body including muscle, soft tissue, spine and joints etc. He is a true professional! I highly recommend him. Go see for yourself the difference he can make.

One of the best out there! Lives up to the name of genuine care. Listens to your needs and will do whatever it takes to reach your goals. I recommend him highly and for good reason.

Young is the best physical therapist I have ever had. After having two major knee surgeries and having to practically relearn to walk, he helped me rebuild the muscles in my legs to be even better than they were before. He is such a caring, kind, and funny person who is passionate about his patient care and provides the absolute best for his patients. I can not recommend Young highly enough, he’s the best!

For a long while I wasn’t able to raise up my left arm or perform basic functions such as taking off a t-shirt, back scratch, or wring-dry a towel. After being attracted by the mentioning of “hands-on” approach in online reviews, I selected Genuine Care to treat my shoulder impingement issue. The result has been above and beyond my expectation. As of today, my pains are almost completely gone. I am working towards a 100% recovery with Jina’s wonderful help.Highlights of my experience:1. Hands-on treatmentsDuring each session, a good portion of time is spent on manual massage of the affected area. This process at times can be uncomfortable, but the results are more than amazing.2. ExercisesLike many other PTs, they teach exercises to be repeated at home. Jina always verifies my movements during each session. As my condition progresses, Jina switches me to new and more challenging exercises.3. PeopleJina, Youngsun and their staff are always very friendly. They listen and communicate well. They patiently answered my repeated questions about Medicare coverage. I initially suspected my issue was caused by my lengthy music practices. Jina spent extra time examining. She eliminated my concern with sound basis.In the past months I have seen many different kinds of patients there. Some have a worn-down body like myself; some are affected by their job or an accident, others are injured by sport activities. If you are looking for an excellent PT to help optimize your physical recovery, I would sincerely recommend Genuine Care.

If you think all therapy is alike, you haven't tried Young Sun and his Genuine Care facility. He and his wife are truly life changing therapists who have helped me, my partner and a dozen of my friends relieve pain after trying multiple and unsuccessful alternatives.

Agree with another reviewer who said that this place is a hidden gem. I went in for back and hip pain. They really listened to me and offered treatment that helped ease my pain and allowed me to get back to my hobbies. Would highly recommend.

Genuine Care PT is fantastic. I had serious lower back pain and discomfort and the therapies I received at Genuine Care PT quickly helped with my pain and discomfort. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs PT services.

Wow, this place is a total gem. This place deserves 100 stars. I had physical therapy here with Jina and she was so amazing. She literally changed my life. I was having a lot of knee pain and with only about six sessions I have no issues at all now. I cannot believe it. Unfortunately, I moved out of San Diego and therefore can no longer have physical therapy there, but I would still be going there weekly if I still lived in San Diego. The staff is very friendly and provide great service. I would say to anyone that is looking for physical therapy don’t waste your time going anywhere else. I don’t think you can have this type of physical therapy, with a holistic approach, and these types of results anywhere else. I am very grateful to Jina and her staff.

Miracle WorkersMy husband heard about Youngsun Kim, the extraordinary physical therapist, from a number of his friends who have been helped by him. Although it was a long jaunt for us (we live in Vista, CA), we decided to see what all the ravings were about. We were thrilled to know that they would accept our regular Medi-Care as payment, and I decided to attend my husband’s first appointment with him in Del Mar. I was VERY impressed with Youngsun’s great knowledge of physiology, his hand’s on approach, high intelligence and great sense of humor. My husband felt like he could really be helped by him (and was!), so I made an appointment for myself to see if they could help me with my chronic back pain due to scoliosis. Because my husband wanted to continue to see Youngsun regularly to help him with his challenging knees and back, I decided to schedule visits with Gina Kim, Youngsun’s delightful wife who is the other physical therapist there. So we were scheduled simultaneously. Wow! They were both SO helpful to both of us!Because of my scoliosis, I just assumed that the now chronic back and sacroiliac pain that I had felt daily for years was something I’d just have to tolerate. Gina proved me wrong! She taught me how to be more gentle with my movements, what exercises to do (and avoid), how to be more conscious of how I move when I walk, and encouraged me to change out my mattress to one that gave more support. Each time I went in to see her she’d work hands on to get the very tight muscles to release, until one day I awoke with NO pain! It remains that way now and I am, of course, delighted and in awe not only at her expertise but at my aging body’s ability to return to more balance. As Gina would always tell me, “it’s never too late!”This husband-wife physical therapy team is THE BEST. My husband and I have been to physical therapy prior to finding their practice, but their expertise and hands on approach is way above the norm! We both feel so very grateful to have found them. They are worth the drive!!!

My son is tennis player. He started to have wrist pain. Based on the rave reviews Dr. Kim received, I called his office and the ladies in the office was able to take my son in with 15 minutes free consultation the same day. Dr.Kim did a thorough examination to my son and gave advices on the turning of the body on hitting to prevent injuries. He did massages on his wrists. Thank you Dr. Kim! We would definitely go back to see you when we need it.

Amazing team of people who know their stuff and are always happy to help you. Dramatically improved my ability to walk correctly again. Everyone on the team is incredibly professional and personable. Couldn’t have asked for a better PT experience and can’t thank them enough.

I thought I had to live with pain rest of my life after trying everything and nothing made much improvement. My friend recommended Dr. Kim, I was skeptical about another physical therapy which I went through many before. But as the last resort, I called and set up an appointment. After one treatment, I felt I met a doctor who can finally fix me! I thanked God and my friend who led me to Dr. Kim. After I saw the outcome of treatment from myself, I brought my whole family! My mom who had compression fracture, my younger son who had stress fracture from sports and my older son who developed scoliosis from bad posture. He spends entire 45min hands on solely by him, not by aid or electrical stimulus, etc which often used to fill time. His manual therapy on soft tissue worked so well like magic! I highly highly recommend Dr. Youngsun Kim, true doctor who has deep knowledge how to cure and genuinely care about his patients.

I see Yongsun Kim for a yearlong arm numbness pain. I tried another physical therapist and acupuncturist before. Nothing works. Later my family doctor recommends Genuine care physical therapy to me. My arm numbness was completely gone after three treatments. Working from home during Covid pandemic is causing more shoulder and neck pain. Doctor Kim know exactly where the problem is, and work on each muscle. Also, their group will teach you some exercise which works for you. Highly recommend Genuine care physical therapy!

Dr. Kim really helped me get over my left hip pain. I saw him a couple days a week for 2 months at that did it for me. Highly recommend his services!

I was never a fan of physical therapy until I found Genuine Care Physical Therapy..... After three, yes three, rotator cuff surgeries and many, many sessions of physical therapy at other facilities I can say with 110% surety that without Youngsun Kim my golfing life would be over. This is no ordinary P.T office where you see the Dr. for maybe 15 minutes and are handed off merely to repeat the exercises previously assigned. Yeah, you know what I mean..... However, at Genuine Care you are w/the Dr. your full session with focused manipulation. They are the real deal. Expect genuine care @ Genuine Care Physical Therapy. Expect amazing results.

I could barely walk my hips hurt so badly. Only a few weeks later I was walking 20,000 steps a day on vacation with no pain! I was surprised at the extent to which physical therapy helped and the quick progress. Dr. Kim really listened and tried to get to the root of my pain and gave me manageable homework to improve flexibility. I'm so grateful!!

I was getting desperate, I hurt my right arm and was experiencing constant pain and tingling down to my fingers. I was having difficulty sleeping and feeling very fatiqued. I called a couple of Doctors and was told that I needed a prescription for them to see me then I called Dr. Kim at his Genuine Care Center and after speeking with him, exchanging insurance pleasantries I made an appointment and I am so glad that I did. I was only able to have therapy for a limited time due to travel commitments but my therapy did wonders my arm and shoulder are much improved and I am ever so grateful for Dr. Kim's knowledge and experience for providing me with the BEST quality physical therapy.I would highly recommend Dr. Kim for all of your therapy needs.

The Genuine Care physical therapy team are the best physical therapists I've ever known. In the first session I was aching in my knees, back & hand. In the last session I was 200% better. These folks are the real deal. I recommend them to everyone in physical pain.

Youngsun has been a godsend to my body. Went to him for an injured knee that had been replaced, including visiting the surgeon. Within two visits, all pain is gon. Also, worked with me on my shoulders and again, complete relief. Neck pain and nerve impingement also gone. My balance has improved tremendously as has my posture. I highly recommend Youngsun to anyone with joint and muscle issues. Thank you, KRD!
