"Thank God I found this place! I have truly come to appreciate how Physical Therapy can improve so many aspects of the quality of life after discovering Full Circle. I suffer from Lumbar Disk Diseases with chronic pain, and I was hesitant to start another Physical Therapy since I did not experience much improvement at the last place. However, Full Circle completely changed my perspective on Physical Therapy. Not only do they help with relieving pain, but they also offer brain exercises to understand how the brain responds to pain. I've learned so much about the connection between my injuries and symptoms including pain from the therapist here that I never knew before, and it made so much sense! I love all the exercises they taught me because they actually work to relieve pain. Additionally, they helped me build a daily routine of short stretches and strength training; a little investment of daily time became a long-lasting relief for my chronic pain. The atmosphere of this place is also amazing. Located in a perfect spot, it's easy to find, cozy, and relaxing during sessions. I highly recommend Full Circle Physical Therapy, and I'm excited to continue my sessions here."

"Alcina is a gem. She’s extremely knowledgeable and has an easy to understand way of explaining things. Unlike many PT clinics where you see the therapist briefly before being handed off to a trainee of some sort, alcina does it all. She listens very carefully to you and treats accordingly. On top of all this, alcina is very personable and a joy to work with. The only downside is that she’s so good it can be a bit challenging to book appointments. But there’s a hood reason she’s so popular!"

"You can’t find a more qualified, knowledgeable, and caring physical therapist on the Pininsula. I have been to many PTs and her combination of hands on (no handing you off to a less qualified underling) and her knowledge in orthopedic specialization and other areas, such as neurological body relationships and more make her the person you want to see to recover from your injury or condition."

"I highly recommend this place, Alcina is great and very professional!"

"So grateful to Alcina! Saved from shoulder surgery! Getting back in the water and able to do all the things I used to do at least a little bit as I continue to get stronger. Full Circle is so easy to work with, felt supported at every turn and even learned a lot of other stretches and strengtheners to support my (aging but active) whole body. 🫶🏻"

"I was a patient of Alcina Lima PT for the past two months or so. Alcina is an excellent physical therapist. She is very knowledgeable in anatomy and understanding pain and where it comes from. She is excellent in explaining stretches, doing the stretch a different way if you find it difficult and finding ways to make the stretch have different levels of difficulty. I really felt she understood my pain and gave me tools to help my back pain. I was a dentist for 37 years and leaned over patients all that time in a non ergonomic way. After I retired I started to have a severe lower back pain when I twisted the wrong way. Alcina helped me learn how to walk, get up out of bed and out of a chair and perform the stretches so I wasn't twisting and causing the pain. I still need to learn how to lose 20 pounds and I think all my pain will go away. I would highly recommend this very nice, highly intelligent, caring physical therapist."

"Had knee replacement 4 weeks ago. Started working with Alcina @ Full Circle Physical Therapy a week ago, 3 times a week. Outstanding professional! Great communicator & fabulous coach. Meeting all my assigned goals. Am quite surprised by my progress."

"Great small PT practice that provides personal care. Alcina really listens and clearly explains the how and why of each exercise. (Also super smart and her thoughtful feedback to primary care was dead on and validated by ultrasound.)"

"I am happy to receive physical therapy at Full Circle Monterey, CA. The therapist is very knowledgeable about the human body and helps me get better with my shoulder. Alcina Lima is a great therapist, and I recommend seeing her for any physical injury."

"I have the highest regard, respect, and appreciation for Alcina. She managed my recovery from two successive lower leg surgeries over a year. I found her to be dedicated, professional, accomplished, intelligent, and a motivating bright spot during a challenging time. She has my wholehearted endorsement and admiration."

"Alcina is a true professional. The idea of being her only client at one time is so refreshing from the big PT centers. I highly recommend Alcina and Full Circle Physical Therapy."

"Alcina is great! Very knowledgeable and a great communicator! Highly recommend"

"From the first session, Dr. Lima was able to identify what I needed at this stage of healing from a car accident. Her holistic approach to Physical Therapy and knowledge of cutting edge research, including pain management, are a great combination for patients who need to increase physical mobility and decrease pain!! I always look forward to my appointments, to see what else I can learn and do that will further my healing process! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dr. Lima!"

"The care I am receiving at Full Circle is extremely attentive, personal, and effective. I feel that Alcina Lima really listens to the issues I am describing and then adapts my treatment to best address my needs. She is very thorough, gentle, encouraging, and professional. She also has a great way of explaining complex medial terms in ways I can easily understand and connect with. The office is also very inviting, clean, and organized. I have appreciated receiving printed instructions with visuals of the exercises I am to do at home. I would highly recommend Full Circle to anyone needing an excellent and caring physical therapist!"

"I'm very thankful to have been referred to FULL CIRCLE PHYSICAL THERAPY! In just the first few weeks since my knee replacement I am making good progress on the road to recovery. The professionalism and encouragement I've received is superb. ONWARD!"

"Great space with easy parking, a clean and well-stocked exercise room with all the equipment needed. Most importantly, Alcina is a gifted and highly educated practitioner. I trust her 100% and she helps me fix my tweaks and put me through a full shoulder surgery recovery program that had me "graduating" early! I can't say enough good things."

"Good for athletes and first responders who want to get back in action quickly. Most of our family has been treated by Dr. Lima who is highly-educated, vastly experienced, and has the longest list of credentials we’ve ever seen. Oh, and no 'attitude'. Just the nicest person. She’s nailed the recovery process *every time* and other PTs ask us how she did it. Bonus: If you don’t like a routine she’s assigned, say so, and she’ll have another. Deep knowledge of physical therapy, surgery recovery and injury prevention from this clinic. Get in if you can."

"I have seen Alcina at a previous practice where she helped me work through some pretty severe tendonitis due to climbing and she is currently helping me through a knee injury at her new facility. She is one of the most knowledgeable and gentle physical therapists I know. She is a caring person and sets clear goals for your treatment. I have nothing but good things to say about her and I highly recommend her if you are in need of therapy. I was thrilled to hear that she opened her own facility. It is clean, easy to locate, and very spacious. Overall a wonderful person and excellent physical therapist!"

"Alcina is your dream physical therapist. She is exceptionally well educated, timely and efficient with her training. Most importantly, she is gentle, and always looking to increase your health, without causing pain or rushing the therapy. Alcina guided me through the recovery from surgery to repair my torn labrum and I believe I "graduated" nearly 3 weeks early! She helped craft a plan that I could carry out at home daily, reducing the number of office visits I needed to make, while still keeping my recovery at top speed. Just the best and a nice person to chat with about sports, running and just about anything."

"I injured my knee. After waiting for it to heal on its own with no improvement, I went to Full Circle. Alcina's graduated exercises have helped me sleep without pain, go up and down stairs like I used to, and walk without fear of falling or knee collapsing. I highly recommend Full Circle Physical Therapy."

"I worked with Alcina at her previous practice as I tried to recover from an ALC repair. She was the third PT I tried in the Monterey area and she was levels above the rest. It was great to have a PT who i would see at the climbing gym and run into on hikes. She helped me put together a recovery plan not just to heal but to get back into an active lifestyle with skiing, climbing, and running. Made a huge difference as an athletic woman to have a PT who gets that lifestyle!"
