Rehab United

Rehab United Specializing in physical therapy, massage therapy, and more with eight locations in San Diego.

In the summer of 1991, their final summer in high school together before Sean went off to college, “The Brothers Hill” had planned 3 months of friends, sports, travel and fun. On June 8th, their plans came to a halt when Sean received a scary phone call from a family friend that Bryan had been hurt badly during an indoor soccer game and to await another phone call with more details. After what seemed like hours of waiting, Sean finally received a call from their mother stating that Bryan had badly broken his femur and doctors were testing to determine the extent of the injury. It was soon determined that nerves and a major artery were barely missed, but Bryan would require extensive surgery and physical therapy in the hospital for a minimum of one week before he would even be allowed to go home. Sean dropped everything and spent the week in the hospital with Bryan to help him rehabilitate alongside Bryan’s physical therapist. Sean thrived on finding ways to encourage Bryan and guide him just to walk again. The best part was that it didn’t feel like work for Sean –it was fun! Bryan recognized and felt the same amazing experience from the patient’s perspective. Throughout the week they solidified themselves as a life-long team who would encourage each other unconditionally. They talked about how fun it would be in the future to provide the same care and encouragement to others as that “team”. During that week together in the hospital, Sean and Bryan realized they had found their calling – they were determined not only to become Physical Therapists, but to someday open their own practice together and provide a quality of care for their clients never encountered before. Sean and Bryan wanted to provide not just treatment services, but a global treatment philosophy founded on encouragement, empathy, passion, and giving the very best of themselves to others. With their mother joining them from Arizona to help get started, their dream of a family private practice become reality exactly twelve years and one day after Bryan’s “life-changing injury”! On June 9th, 2003, they opened Rehab United Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy, Inc.!

✨Happy 10 years of Service to Renee!✨

Each year, we’re honored to celebrate a truly special milestone at Rehab United—recognizing team members who have dedicated 10 years of service to our organization. This achievement represents more than time; it reflects trust, loyalty, and a deep commitment to our mission and our people.

We proudly honor Renee Cornett for 10 years of exceptional service with Rehab United.

Renee’s journey is a powerful testament to growth and belief in what we stand for. She began as a front office team member and advanced through roles including clinic manager and regional manager, now serving as our Director of People and Operations—helping shape the future of our organization.

For a decade, Renee has led with heart, accountability, and an unwavering dedication to our team. Her ground-up understanding of Rehab United has been instrumental in preserving our culture, strengthening our operations, and inspiring those around her. Her impact on our people and our core values cannot be overstated.

Ten years of service reflects passion, perseverance, and trust—and Renee embodies all of it. Thank you, Renee, for your leadership, loyalty, and the energy you bring every single day. We’re incredibly grateful for you and excited for what’s ahead. 💙

Weak glutes can contribute to knee pain, low back pain, poor posture, and decreased power with daily movement and sport. Here are a few go-to exercises I prescribe to help build glute strength and control:

▪️ Box Squats (3×10–15)
Box squats help reinforce proper hip hinge mechanics while emphasizing glute activation. The box provides feedback for depth and control, making this a great option for building strength safely and intentionally.

▪️ Step-Ups (3×10 each side)
Step-ups challenge single-leg strength, balance, and pelvic control. They mimic everyday movements like stairs and help address side-to-side strength asymmetries while heavily recruiting the glutes.

▪️ Kettlebell Romanian Deadlifts (3×10)
RDLs target the posterior chain, especially the glutes and hamstrings. This movement improves hip hinge strength, spinal stability, and overall lower-body power.

Strong glutes = better movement, better support, and better performance.

From the age of 14, Arturo Valle knew one thing for sure: he wanted to help people.

After growing up playing sports (and experiencing injuries firsthand), becoming a physical therapist felt like a natural calling. That passion has guided every step of his journey — and for the past 17+ years, it’s been poured into Rehab United.

Arturo’s path is a true full-circle story: starting as a part-time contract employee, growing into a full-time clinician, becoming Clinic Director at Kearny Mesa, then leading as Clinic Director for our Escondido location, and now serving as our Executive Director of Clinical Operations.

At the heart of it all is the same goal he’s always had — seeing people get better and helping guide them toward their best selves. His leadership, mentorship, and unwavering commitment to patient care continue to shape Rehab United every day.

And fun fact? His spirit animal is the dolphin — his favorite animal and a perfect match for his intelligence, teamwork, and positive energy 🐬

We’re beyond grateful for you, Arturo. 💙

Belly breathing (aka diaphragmatic breathing) is the foundation of how your body should breathe. Instead of lifting your chest and shoulders, you breathe deep into your belly—allowing your diaphragm to do the work.

Why it matters ⬇️
✔️ Reduces neck, shoulder, and low back tension
✔️ Improves posture and core stability
✔️ Helps calm your nervous system and manage pain

At physical therapy, we don’t just focus on muscles and joints—we teach you how to breathe correctly. Belly breathing helps your core support your spine, improves movement efficiency, and sets the foundation for better recovery and performance.

Because better movement starts with better breathing. 💨

🎉 Celebrating 10 Years of Service at Rehab United 🎉
Each year, we’re honored to celebrate a truly meaningful milestone at Rehab United—recognizing team members who have dedicated 10 years of service to our company. This achievement represents far more than time; it reflects commitment, trust, and a deep belief in our mission. We are incredibly grateful for the people who have helped shape who we are today.

This year, we are proud to celebrate Jeff Wood for 10 years of dedicated service with Rehab United.
Jeff’s journey with RU is nothing short of inspiring. From his early days serving patients and teammates at La Mesa and Kearny Mesa, to volunteering and assisting as a B.M.A.C. coach, and ultimately becoming a licensed physical therapist, Jeff’s story is one of resilience, determination, and growth. He didn’t just overcome adversity—he exceeded expectations and proved what’s possible through perseverance and passion.

Over the past decade, Jeff has consistently embodied the values that define Rehab United: clinical excellence, integrity, humility, and an unwavering commitment to patient care. His impact has been felt by our patients, our clinics, and our culture—and we are better because of him.

Ten years in healthcare is no small feat. Jeff, thank you for your loyalty, leadership, and steady presence. We are deeply grateful for everything you’ve given to Rehab United and are honored to celebrate this milestone with you. 💙👏

Meet Denise 👋 in part 4 of our interview series, we talk about how PHM was free for her!

In our interview, Denise shares why she enrolled in our PHM (Proactive Health Monitoring) program and how being proactive about her health has made a real difference. One of the biggest benefits? Her enrollment was free through Medicare, making it easier to stay consistent and informed about her health.

Our PHM program with and helps track key health metrics, spot trends early, and support smarter decisions—so care isn’t just reactive, it’s preventative. Your health is worth staying ahead of.
