"If you are in pain, whether it’s due to trauma, bad posture, work injuries, chronic issues, whatever, you MUST come see Eddie!! He can and he will help you! Eddie is not just the man with the hands.. he is the man w/ the smarts, experience and solutions to find the root cause of your issues to help you, and most likely once and forever!
I’d been experiencing chronic pain in my neck, traps and shoulders for 20 years. Due to the severity and long duration of my neck pain, I later developed excruciating pain in my jaw. I developed TMJ, bruxism, and started grinding my teeth during the day and night. To my poor husband’s demise.. I also started snoring! My jaw pain became so severe that it hurt to chew food.. especially my favorite foods, steak and pizza! 🙁 I started going to a clinic to get Botox in my jaw which alleviated the pain, but it was not a long-term solution because it would wear off within 3-5 months and it was really EXPENSIVE!
Finally, my medical practitioner recommended that I go see Eddie. She had recently seen him for the debilitating pain in her neck and traps. She said that within just one session, he had healed her. I was convinced.. so off I went to schedule my first session with Eddie. This was in 2020.
After just a few physical therapy sessions with Eddie, I literally felt so good that I didn’t have to come back for a LONG time! Although I think he is fantastic and one of the best PTs out there, I am also thankful that I haven’t had to come back to see him because it meant I was no longer in pain! His approach is different from many other PTs and chiropractors I’ve seen in my life.. and believe me, as a fitness enthusiast and former marathon runner, I have seen many of them!
Compared to other PTs, I noticed that he spent a lot more time assessing and analyzing my issues before he did any work on me or prescribe any exercises. I later realized that this is what set him above the rest because he’s actually figuring out the root cause of your pain and issues. Most therapists will just treat your symptoms or problem area, when the underlying root cause may be a completely different part of your body or something as simple as changing how you sit or walk.
In my case, I came to see him about fixing my severe TMJ, when he actually was able to figure out that the root cause was that I had a weak neck. He gave me exercises to strengthen the little stabilizing muscles in the anterior and posterior sides of my neck. His whole approach and exercises he gave me seemed so simple and silly at first, but I noticed they started helping to ease the pain. After altering my prescribed routine over the next few weeks, my pain had gone away and my head actually shifted back over my spine (before was really leaning forward - they call it text neck! I blame my computer work!).
Anyway, fast forward to 2024, my husband developed a very painful pelvic tilt that started causing sciatica. He could barely sit or walk for 10 minutes until he had to shift from being in pain. He endured this debilitating pain for over 2 months until he finally went to see Eddie!
My husband is the kind of person who will try everything he can to self treat until, well it’s not working lol. He watched every YouTube video on PT for pelvic tilt and tried all the exercises. I know he had seen over 30 different PT channels. None of them helped and some made the pain worse!! Finally, he saw Eddie first on Zoom, then in person. Let me tell you, after just 10 days my husband is walking again, sitting again without pain, driving again.. he is finally able to live his life again. He is very dedicated to doing the daily exercises that Eddie is prescribing, but it’s because he knows and sees that it’s working!
Whatever you are dealing with, I feel for you! Before you allow any doctor to tell you that you need surgery or need some extreme or expensive procedure, give Eddie a call and see if he can help you find a better way to heal your chronic issues for good!"

"Fit Physio has provided great relief for joint discomfort in my shoulder and pain in my knee from a torn meniscus. Driving from Tustin to Costa Mesa was definitely worth the 60 minute targeted treatment. I will definitely be returning for follow up sessions."

"I visited Eddie because I was having headaches at night and he completely took those away. It was great having him one on one for 60 minutes at each visit and my drive from Newport Beach was well worth the time spent. I recommend Eddie very highly."

"Eddie was awesome with my lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow). Numerous practitioners told me it would take 9-12 months to get better. He got me out of pain in 1.5 months. Highly recommend!"

"Eddie is the best! He is like the Dr House or Sherlock Holmes of physical therapy in the way he seeks to understand his clients, their pain, mobility and imbalance issues, etc. I came to him post-surgery and he helped create a rehab program which led me to a pain free season of racing in top form. If you are looking for a physical therapist who has an in-depth understanding of the complexities of injury, takes the time to thoroughly assess and reassess progress, and equips you with the tools to carry forth your own home program - I highly suggest investing in a few sessions with Eddie"

"I have been seeing Eddie over the last 9 months for various injuries. Not only did he fix many of my stubborn pain that other physical therapist could not solve, but he was the most approachable and passionate PT I have encountered. He explains every treatment he does in detail, helping you understand more about your injury and the benefits of the treatment, and has vast knowledge on modern day research conducted on physical therapy which most PT do not keep up with. He allowed me to bring home many expensive devices for my convenience so I did not have to keep coming back to the clinic to use the device. I would highly recommend seeing Eddie for any injuries or pain."

"I have been seeing Eddie for treatment off and on for the last few years. He always takes the time to listen and the right tests to really find out what the root of the issue is. Eddie has great skills and I have always left feeling better and more mobile. He has also helped me to improve my squatting mechanics. I’ve recommended Eddie to a number of friends and they have all had a wonderful experience working with him!"

"I cannot recommend Eddie Cornejo enough! He is legit. I have been working with him for the last few years and he has helped me recover from a painful quad strain, back injury, and most recently a ski injury. His approach is to heal the injury through the lens of the entire body and meeting patients where they are. He is a teacher and a healer. It has been said that the best doctors and therapists are the perfect balance of clinical knowledge and a good bedside manner. Eddie has both in abundance."

"I have been seeing Edward for several years. He is the best Physical Therapist I have ever seen. Edward is thorough, caring, kind and explains everything he is doing with you. Not only do you feel better when you leave his office, you understand what is going on with your body and you can apply this knowledge to your everyday life. I drive 45 minutes from my home to get treated by Edward because he is worth the investment in my health. As of the day I post this, my wife is treating with him also. Edward is a game changer for your future health and I cannot recommend him enough."

His is very intentional and thorough in every session we've had, and gives you realistic ways to maintain the work you have done in session through take home exercises.

"I came to Eddie after I broke my hip to get me up and going again. I am so thankful to him for his knowledge. I am thankful to him for his caring. He's tough on me most sessions but I know I will always be better off. I recommend him for post surgery help or if you are experiencing any kind of pain....He'll figure it out! "

"There are several ways a person can rehabilitate an injury, but in my experience, there are only a couple of good solutions:
l) An experienced & compassionate therapist 2) A dedicated & committed patient
Since having a knee replacement over 5 years ago, and also having back & neck pain for several years, I have sought PT and strengthening exercises from a few different and reputable physical therapy centers. Although I did have some success and gained knowledge of better ways to manage my pain, the typical 30 minute PT sessions were not enough. After now being treated with Eddie's expertise during the 60 minute therapy sessions, I have experienced better results than ever.
I would highly recommend a visit to this PT facility. Appointments are easy to schedule, and Eddie is very attentive to addressing more than just one injury at a time so the entire body can heal successfully.
Thanks for caring,
Shelli E."

"Eddie came highly recommended and did not disappoint. I came to Eddie with chronic back pain that I could not find a way to improve. Eddie has been great in listening and trying to find the root of the problem and not a quick fix solution. He works off of my feedback and is always trying to find the best solution for me. After a few months of minimal treatments but tons of prescribed exercises and multiple check ins I am nearly pain free. I have a long way to go but I am confident with Eddie's instruction I will be back to 100% soon. I would recommend Eddie to anyone who is looking to improve any aspect of their body and health."

"I've gone to FIT Physio for a couple years now. I'm very active and from time to time i'll get an injury. Eddie has worked on my ankle, shoulder, back, and neck. I always feel better after my sessions. What I like most is that Eddie gives me exercises that not only strengthen the my muscles but gets my muscles within my core to fire appropriately so I'm able to remain active. Eddie has done such a wonderful job, I have my 19 year old daughter see him when she gets injuries as well."

"Eddie has been an absolute miracle worker! I've been dealing with chronic pain in my neck, shoulders, and jaw for over 12 years. I lift weights and run 4-5 days a week and also spend a significant amount of time on the computer daily for work (10-16 hours a day!). Because of the strain on my neck and shoulders, I've had incredible pain from developing forward head posture and TMJ. I've even lost about an inch in the length of my neck. To help ease my pain, I went from popping Advils daily, to spending thousands of dollars on chiropractic visits, dental mouthguards, Botox for my jaw, and a myriad of devices and contraptions.
Finally, a friend recommended that I see Eddie for an assessment for pain relief. She told me that after one treatment with him, her neck and chest pain disappeared. When I first came for treatment with Eddie, I was expecting to get beat up like I usually do at the chiropractor's or at massage therapy. Instead, he evaluated my posture and body mechanics, then provided me with physical therapy exercises to do at home. The regimen seemed so miniscule that I was a bit skeptical it was going to make a difference for me.
However, I was shocked that within just 2 weeks of consistent exercise, I finally started feeling some pain relief and was able to stop taking pain killers. As I continued to see Eddie, he would change my exercises based on my progress. Just 4 months later, my pain is SIGNIFICANTLY better. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst pain, I went from a chronic level 8-9 to now an occasional level 2. The occasional pain I experience is based on me forgetting to do my exercises, or after spending a long day on the computer.
Eddie is extremely knowledgeable and talented. He was the ONLY therapist I've seen in 12 years who was able to pinpoint the root of my issues and help me develop strength in the areas my small muscles had weakened. He did not just treat my symptoms like other therapists would normally do. HE HEALED ME.
Don't get me wrong, I still have to keep up with my exercises and there is always room for improvement in other areas with my posture. But WOW, Eddie has a knack for this. He will identify the root cause of your problems by assessing your body as a whole system. I'm so thankful to have found Eddie. Thank you so much for helping me finally find long-term relief!
