What We Do
At Health Shift, we take a different approach to health, fitness, and recovery. As a San Diego chiropractor and personal fitness trainer in San Diego, our mission is to bridge the gap between physical therapy and performance training helping you move better, feel stronger, and stay pain-free for the long term.
Most people come to us after trying everything massage therapists, acupuncturists, physical therapists, chiropractors, and even personal trainers without lasting results. That’s because most providers focus on just one piece of the puzzle. At Health Shift, we connect the entire rehabilitation process from start to finish.

The goal is lasting recovery, improved performance, and long-term resilience against future injuries.
The Health Shift Method: From Pain to Performance
At Health Shift, we believe pain isn’t just a sign of aging it’s your body’s way of signaling that something’s out of balance. Our 3-phase system bridges the gap between chiropractic care, rehabilitation, and fitness training to help you move, feel, and perform your best.
Whether you’re dealing with an injury, coming back from physical therapy, or trying to prevent the next setback, our approach meets you where you are — and gets you where you want to be.
Phase 1: Rehab — Find the Root Cause
Most people come to us after trying everything, chiropractors, massage, acupuncture, or physical therapy, but still feeling limited or in pain. That’s where we start.
In this phase, we focus on identifying the true cause of your pain, not just treating the symptoms.
Through hands-on treatment, movement assessments, and corrective exercises, we restore joint function, posture, and core activation. You’ll start to move better, feel stronger, and regain confidence in your body.
This one-on-one phase is tailored to your specific condition and typically lasts 2–4 weeks, depending on your needs, goals and severity of your injury.
Phase 2: Prehab & Movement Training — Build Strength That Protects You
Once your pain improves, it’s time to build the strength and control that keep it from coming back.
In the Prehab phase, we teach you how to move properly again mastering fundamental movement patterns like squatting, hinging, pushing, and pulling. You’ll develop a stronger, more stable foundation through targeted core activation drills and functional training.
This is where you learn how to train smarter, not harder, and build the physical resilience that supports your joints, reduces re-injury risk, and improves everyday performance.
Phase 3: Performance & Fitness — Move, Lift, and Live Better
The final phase is where everything comes together. Once you’ve built your foundation, we help you pursue your long-term fitness and lifestyle goals.
You’ll train to build muscle, strength, endurance, and balance while improving cardiovascular health and body composition. Every program is tailored to your goals whether that’s staying active as you age, returning to your favorite sport, or simply feeling confident and capable in your body again.
Our performance training ensures that your hard work in rehab and prehab translates into lasting strength, vitality, and freedom of movement.
