Solve pain, and elevate function
with Physical Therapy

After being rear ended I suffered chronic pain for over a year. I saw multiple orthos, and at least 7 physical therapists. When I met Ilana I knew immediately she was coming at my back pain from a different angle. After seeing numerous professionals and feeling less than optimistic, I was shocked at her expertise and thorough approach to tackling chronic pain. I dedicated myself to her recommendations and to this day utilize her exercises, stretches and postures. Ilana thinks about chronic pain in a very unique way, and I found she was the only person that was able to provide me with any kind of relief. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and provides a very comfortable atmosphere.

Saved from surgery! I have had 2 neck injuries in my younger years: one cervical disc derangement, and the other was a hairline fracture in one of my discs. After years of compensating for these injuries, I developed arm numbness and tightness in my shoulder and neck. The numbing through my arm and pain in my shoulder got me to a point that I decided I may need surgery. I found Ilana (Cartun) Tunca who heard my story and she asked to take a few PT session with her before taking the next step. Literally within 2 months of weekly sessions (2 times per week in the beginning), my numbness was relived - I could sleep through the night. Next stage was re-strengthening, which she re-taught me how to use weights to develop the right muscles and compensate for the imbalance created in last few years. I'm still progressing following the lessons learned and I haven't had numbness or pain in my arm/hand. No need for surgery afterall - just needed to see Ilana! Thank you!

Ilana has made an incredible difference in my recovery. I had two severe ankle sprains happen lately. After the initial visit, I saw an immediate improvement and ended up coming twice a week. After three weeks, I could run again and do all my physical activity, which was impossible for the last three months. I highly recommend My Physio For Life to any who wants to improve their overall well-being or requires physical therapy. We constantly recommend her to our friends, and everyone who had sessions with Ilana has nothing but positive things to say. I plan on going here for other pains and aches I have had over the last few years that never resolved themselves.

As I am doing my home exercises tonight, I wanted to stop and share how grateful I am to have stumbled upon Dr. Ilana and her new, clean office here in RDO. I have chronic knee/hip/back/pelvic/you name it issues for about 12 years now have seen many specialists DPT’s in my day. She did her best to fit me in right away and to my surprise, she was able to help me find relief after the 1st visit that I almost cried. She is very knowledgeable and kind that I thought it would be nice to recommend her to others what a great asset she is to our community here in Oceanside. I’m still working on myself with her and I am so happy she was able to help me get started because I was really having trouble getting help anywhere else. Although my insurance does not cover my visits, I still think they are worth it :)
