Dr. Sanchez is extremely well-educated, experienced, and uses evidence-based, mechanical muscle activation and release techniques to treat and resolve physical issues. He really helped me get back into pain-free movement after just four few sessions. Over the years, I have gone to chiropractors, medical massage therapists, regular massage therapists, physical therapists, and acupuncturists. Finally, an undiagnosed issue turned into deltoid tendinitis, and my shoulder lost its full range of motion. I started having moderate to severe shoulder, neck, and back pain, and I felt at risk of tearing a rotator cuff muscle during my lifting sessions. Â Dr. Sanchez accurately pinpointed the problem. From the first time I saw him, every single appointment brought not only relief from near-constant pain, but measurable improvement in how I moved, lifted, slept, and felt. I can now perform exercises that I couldn't before; I no longer wake up in pain; and I have greater mobility. I have stopped seeing all the other specialists, so Dr. Sanchez has also saved me a lot of money and time! More...

I went see Dr. Sanchez from reviews here on Yelp even though he's not in my healthcare network. Â Everything positive you've read is true. This guy is great! Â Very detailed and analytic. Excellent testing skills and highly knowledgeable to ask the right questions and look beyond just the point of pain. What's causing it is extremely important and he takes the time to investigate, test and explain what he's thinking and why. Â Excellent! I think we've located what's going in with a pain in my lower back, what's causing it and what to do to correct it and correct what's causing it. Highly recommend Dr. Sanchez! Â I've set up regular sessions to get ahead of the problem and have my 'go to' guy locally for muscle/nerve related issues. More...

I sought care from Dr. Sanchez after a two-month old ankle sprain continued to bother me despite a consistent routine of rest-ice-compression-elevation. Â It was very easy to navigate Dr. Sanchez' Body in Motion Sports Rehab website; making an appointment; completing his intake documentation was efficient - I did it all with a few clicks and some typing on my cell phone. Â Along with his pleasant, easy-going bedside manner, Dr. Sanchez' organizational skills and expertise shine through from the minute an onboarding email is sent outlining expectations, directions to his office, and contact information to walking a patient through follow-up exercises. Â During my first appointment, Dr. Sanchez did a thorough assessment to determine the best plan of care for me. Â Over the last six weeks and in just three appointments, along with following his foundational exercises, I have experienced tremendous improvement in my ankle allowing me to return to the tennis courts. I have full confidence that under Dr. Sanchez' care, I will return to full activity and mitigate the risk of re-injury. Â I am grateful to be a patient and would highly recommend Dr. Sanchez to anyone, whether it be for sports injury rehabilitation or for optimizing health. Â Thanks, Dr. Sanchez! More...

I highly recommend Dr. Sanchez for chiropractic care. I've worked with many chiropractors and other practitioners, from rolfers to O. T.s and massage therapists, to manage chronic pain from scoliosis. Dr. Sanchez is hands-down among the best I've seen. He has a knack for finding the source of the misalignment, zeroing in, and prescribing exactly the right exercises to correct long-time imbalances. His knowledge of anatomy is spot-on. Just one adjustment and several days of exercises had me feeling infinitely better. After a few weeks, my hip pain has all but disappeared. This guy is a healer. More...

I work with my body for a living as a handyman and a ski teacher. Â Climbing ladders, skiing bumps it's all in a day's work. Â Did I mention I've torn 2 ACL's and had countless back and shoulder injuries? Â Dr Bobby Sanchez not only helped me with back pain, the exercises he gave me addressed issues some of the finest physical therapists couldn't figure out. Â Dr Bobby has helped me feel better at 50 than I did at 40 or 30!! Â Dr Bobby is the real deal!! Â Your time, effort, energy and money will be well invested with Dr Bobby! More...

I was recommended to Dr. Sanchez from a friend who had phenomenal results after having a back injury. Once she mentioned "A. R.T." (Advanced Released Technique), I was all over it.Having an annoyance in my right erector spinae (not quite an ache, not quite a pain), I wanted to get it checked out. After some movement testing, we found that my lats (back muscles) were not firing. Dr. Sanchez recommended a simple exercise that has helped tremendously over the past couple of weeks that I've been seeing him.I like that I not only get results, but also get exercises in bite-sized pieces, where it's doable and not overwhelming. His "bedside manner" is very amiable, and I like how he always describes what he is going to do prior to doing it, as this alleviates any fear about what's about to happen.Highly recommend, though sad to see him go from San Diego to Santa Fe! I wish him well! More...

Yooo Dr Bob Sanchez does a great job of nursing my stiff shoulder back into normal health. I've been seeing him ever since I popped my shoulder out the socket back in February 2018. His sessions are relaxing on the muscles and the mind. Plus he tops it off with a quick realignment of the back and neck! I always walk out of there feeling 10x better than I did before. I definitely recommend checking him out if you are feeling sore. More...

I started going to Body in Motion after having pain issues with my shoulder. The therapy I got from Dr. Sanchez had an immediate impact on my level of pain and discomfort. After one visit I already felt better and was able to sleep without waking up in pain from my shoulder. I have gone to him several more times for follow ups and my shoulder has greatly improved in only a few sessions. Not only do his sessions help but he also gave me exercises to do at home which expedite my recovery.I recommended him to my parents who have also seen/felt amazing improvement with their aches and pains from long hours at a desk and tennis playing. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who wants an effective  and speedy recovery. More...

I met Dr. Sanchez after he did a workshop at my gym and I thought I'd ask him to take a look at a problem with my right foot that has been bothering me for over two years. I was honestly not expecting much since I hadn't had any luck before. Even with MRIs, doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong and was told to just let it heal on its own (which it never did, I just got better at tolerating it/ working around it). However, after just a few minutes of Dr. Sanchez working on my foot and leg, I saw immediate results. Now after a few months of "Active Release Therapy" and doing the homework exercises, I have significant improvements in not just my foot, but in my right hip and back as well. Dr. Sanchez looks at injuries differently than other doctors I've been to, treating not only the injury itself but everything connected to and affected by it. I highly recommend him if you have stubborn or uncommon injuries that traditional physical therapy approaches haven't been successful in treating. More...

I came in to see Dr. Sanchez because I felt something unstable in my right knee. While I thought I had a knee problem, we quickly figured out that the source of it was from the pain in my right foot (which I have been living with for 3 years that I completely forgot about, it just became a part of me). He was extremely knowledgable and taught me a few rehab and strengthening exercises that I could utilize for this problem I had. After getting adjusted just two times and using those exercises, there's absolutely no pain in my foot or knee. And, for the first time in over 5 years I feel way more stable and grounded in my body. Thanks Dr. Sanchez! More...

I went to Bobby first for some knee pain I had developed. He did a thorough assessment, listening carefully to everything I said and checking lots of different muscles, and determined the source of the pain was actually from one of my glute muscles not firing properly. He adjusted me, did some ART, and showed me some exercises to do. After a couple of visits, I could return completely to my intense workouts! Shortly thereafter, my 15 year old daughter sustained an ankle injury playing soccer. The doctors simply did an Xray, determined it wasn't broken, wrapped it up and sent us on our way. Bobby determined exactly where the injury occurred and was able to treat those muscles/tendons with several of the modalities in his vast repertoire and help reduce swelling and pain in the area. On her second visit he expressed surprise that she was healing so quickly, but I have no doubt it was because I took her to see him right away and he sped up the recovery process significantly. If you have pain, an injury, or just don't feel like your body is moving the way it should, Bobby is a very knowledgeable, effective practitioner and I highly recommend him. More...

I have never been a fan of the whole "back cracking" chiropractic thing. Â I've tried it a couple of times - it's jarring and I worry it will do more harm than good. Â But I had a lower back sports injury that left me unable to bend over and put on my own shoes and my trainer referred me to Bobby. Â Amazing. Â #1) he acknowledged my discomfort with (or more accurately, "fear of") traditional chiropractic "solves" and has used a variety of different techniques to loosen up the area, increase my flexibility and get me back on my feet FAST#2) he is incredibly knowledgeable about the interconnectivity of tissue, muscle, bone and was able to quickly address both the pain in my back, AND the pain that wrapped down my leg as a result#3) Even better, I didn't lose any down time at the gym due to injury as he was able to coach me through at-home stretches to increase flexibility and we talked through my training plan each week to ensure I could continue (safely) and not lose momentum. Â #4) He's just a super nice guy with great intuition about where/how/why problems are cropping up and how to address them both individually and collectively. Â I owe my trainer a beer for the reco!

I came to Dr. Sanchez with intense back pain and could barely stand up straight. He used the first session to find what was causing the immediate pain and helped with that. In the subsequent 4 sessions he's identified other issues that are contributing - such as tight hips and shoulders - and has helped to loosen those up. Although he is a chiropractor, he doesn't just crack some things and push you out the door (one of my biggest fears). He incorporates movement based techniques with specific homework mobility/stability exercises, which work together to actually address the causes of your pain. I very highly recommend Dr. Sanchez!!

I highly recommend Dr. Sanchez! I was injured months ago and tried a myriad of other therapies and this has been the only one that has helped. I was referred to Dr. Sanchez right after my injury but living in Oceanside I tried to find a closer option. After exhausting my local resources, I finally followed up with my original referral. There is no distance too great for being pain free. Dr. Sanchez is very knowledgeable and not only treated me at his office, but gave me some great at home stretches that have quickly put me on the road of recovery. Anyone who is in pain, I promise you, this is your guy! More...

I met Dr. Sanchez through stretching clinics that he has held over the months at my neighborhood gym. When I woke up on a Saturday morning unable to move my head, he was able to see me on Monday afternoon and get most of my movement back in 1 session. He explains everything really well as he goes and the homework he gives is helpful for improving. I liked how upfront he was with a written treatment plan too. He expected my treatment to take 6 sessions, but after 3 he felt that I was doing well enough to come back on an as needed basis and I appreciated his honesty. In just 3 sessions, we also worked on my lower back and cues for improving my posture. He uses Schedulicity for his scheduling and it is so easy to use. I would highly recommend him and will definitely be going back as needed in the future! More...
