Why Patients Choose Us

Physical Therapy,
Reimagined

We threw out the old model of rushed appointments and cookie-cutter care. Here's what makes Regenerate different.

01

You See the Doctor. Every Time.

No aides, no assistants, no handoffs. Every session is one-on-one with Dr. DJ Mortimer, DPT — from your first evaluation to your last day of care.

02

Fewer Sessions. Better Results.

High-quality, hands-on care means faster progress. You'll feel real improvement from day one — not session ten — so you can get back to life sooner.

03

Built Around Your Goals.

Whether you want to return to golf, run a marathon, or play with your kids without pain — your entire program is designed around what matters to you.

How It Works

Our Treatment Process

Every session follows the same proven sequence: relieve pain, build strength, get you back in the game.

Step 01

Manual Therapy

We locate the root cause of your pain and address it directly — deep tissue massage, joint mobilizations, cupping, and Gua sha restore mobility and reduce pain from your very first visit.

Corrective Exercises

Once mobility is restored, we build the strength and resilience to keep you there. Targeted exercises are progressed every visit so your body can confidently handle whatever you love doing.

Your Personalized Plan

You leave every session with a home program built specifically around your deficits — not a printed handout. A living plan that evolves as you improve, designed to get you back stronger than before.

Meet Your Doctor

Dr. DJ Mortimer,
PT, DPT

I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy with over seven years of experience, originally from Wisconsin, now living my best life in San Diego — surfing, golfing, and helping my patients do the same.

I earned my Doctorate from Chapman University and have specialized in outpatient orthopedics, treating athletes, weekend warriors, post-surgical patients, and everyone in between. In January 2023, I was published in the Physical Therapy Journal of Policy, Administration, and Leadership.

I built Regenerate PT around one idea: you deserve the doctor's full attention, every session. That means truly personalized care — hands-on treatment, movement analysis, and a plan that actually moves with your goals.

"

DJ is truly in a league of his own. I cried tears of joy knowing I will be able to get myself better with his guidance. There are no words to express how grateful I am to have the honor to be his client.

I had limited movement in my neck for 20 years. After just 5 visits with Dr. DJ, I'm back 100%. I've surfed over 6 times in two weeks without pain or dizziness. Thank you for giving me my youth back!

Ryan S.

I've never had a doctor show this level of bedside care — truly listening to every detail to form the best plan. As an athlete, DJ has always found a route of care to get me back to my goals. Very thankful for this doctor.

DJ quickly got to the root of my neck and back pain. After a handful of sessions, my pain decreased significantly and range of motion increased. His treatment plan was specialized — he does not just go down a checklist with each patient.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked
Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your first appointment.

Does Regenerate PT accept insurance?

Regenerate Physical Therapy is a cash-pay practice. This allows Dr. Mortimer to provide 100% one-on-one doctor-led care at every session, without the visit limits or shared attention that insurance models require. We accept HSA and FSA cards, and new patients receive $50 first full visit. Many patients find they need fewer total sessions compared to insurance-based clinics — making cash-pay care a better value overall.

What makes Regenerate PT different from other physical therapy clinics in San Diego?

Most PT clinics divide a therapist's time across multiple patients, or hand patients off to aides for much of the session. At Regenerate PT, every minute is one-on-one with Dr. DJ Mortimer, DPT — every single visit. Sessions combine hands-on manual therapy (massage, cupping, joint mobilization) with targeted corrective exercise and a personalized home program. This approach is designed to produce real results faster and with fewer total visits. Regenerate PT was voted the #1 Alternative Medicine Clinic in San Diego by San Diego Magazine in 2025.

Does Dr. Mortimer treat golf injuries and improve golf performance?

Yes — Dr. DJ Mortimer is a TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) Certified Medical Professional at Level 2, one of the highest credentials available for golf-specific physical therapy. He uses golf-specific movement analysis to identify how your swing mechanics may be contributing to injury or pain, and designs programs that address both the physical therapy and performance goals. Common golf conditions treated include low back pain, golfer's elbow, hip impingement, shoulder injuries, and knee pain.
