Finally able to workout pain free- Edwin is the BEST physical therapist in SA. His wife, Flor, is also so sweet and friendly- I'm always happy to see her when I come for my appointments. Very grateful to have Dr. Serrano as my physical therapist. Highly recommend!!

I have had chronic shoulder and hip issues for a long time now. I have seen multiple physical therapists, chiropractors and massage therapists for these issues with little to no progress. That all changed when I met Edwin. He truly understands the human body and will help you get back to living pain free.

Edwin is amazing!!! Came in with shoulder pain that I had for over 6 months. After 2 sessions I was almost back to 100%. After 4 sessions I was back to full capacity with my shoulder--yoga, dance, able to lift weights and rest on that shoulder again. Super friendly. Super professional. All around a great experience.

The service he provides is top notch, such a rare find. He has a very well rounded approach that I appreciate. I highly recommend Positive Action Rehab.
