Meet the Business Owner

Dr. Tyler F.

Business Owner

Upon graduating from Chiropractic College in 1998, Dr. Tyler went to work as an examination doctor for Discover Chiropractic in Fremont, CA where he learned the day to day nuances of running and managing a successful, busy clinic.

In January 2000, Dr. Tyler & his wife Wendi moved from the bay area to the beaches of sunny San Diego. He remarks, «I have always felt that the first stage of success comes from living in a place where you have always wanted to live.» After ten years of practicing in Carmel Valley, Dr. Tyler chose to relocate to the heart of Sorrento Valley in order to be more conveniently located to his patients.

Over the past seventeen years Dr. Tyler has become the best, most attentive doctor he can be, which is reflected in the fact that his practice is currently 95% referral based. He specializes in the treatment and rehabilitation of sports related and chronic repetitive injuries. In his off time, Dr. Tyler enjoys traveling, surfing, & spending time with his famil

A while back I bid on a bodywork gift certificate at a charity event for this location, and low and behold won it. I finally found time to use it and only wish I had done so sooner. I booked my massage, and am always a bit apprehensive about a new place as I have Fibromyalgia. Well, my Massage Therapist, Wendy, was amazing. She is a seasoned professional and did an incredible job. I almost hesitate to report that she performed perhaps one of the best massages I have ever had because she will most likely be bombarded with appointment requests! I never had to say «harder» or «softer», as Wendy seemed to really be in tune with the pressure I needed. It is well worth making a trip to this Sorrento Valley location.

Dr Tyler and Dr Heike are amazing chiropractors. I have been seeing Dr Tyler for more than 5 years. At my first visit appointment with Dr Tyler, he spent at least an hour to explain the anatomy to me. He was very thorough. I usually see Dr Tyler and therapist for my headaches. They have been very helpful to alleviate my problem. Dr Tyler is just so wonderful and personal! He will always give his clients a big hug when he sees them. His staffs are very friendly as well. When Dr. Tyler is not available, I see Dr. Heike. Dr. Heike is as wonderful as Dr Tyler. Both have similar styles. They will adjust areas to help with your pain or areas of concern. Both doctors are awesome!

I was t-​boned a few month ago and since my car accident I’ve had neck, shoulder, and hip pains. The first place/​Doctor I went to was only a temporary fix and wasn’t helping long term. I was recommended here by a friend and have been seeing Dr. Heike since.
Dr. Heike has been AMAZING on working with the muscles and relieving my injuries. I tend to travel a lot for work and return hurt from sitting so long on the flights, Dr. Heike will spend extra time when needed and sincerely cares for all his patients’ wellbeing. Ever since my car accident I get pinch nerves that are debilitating, Dr. Heike has been able to help a lot. I also see two massage/​stretch therapist that work really well on my injuries, Vanessa and Aaron both are fantastic but if they aren’t available other have been wonderful too. The best part is most patients have the option to see a doctor for an adjustment and a massage therapist on the same visit. I’m constantly grateful that I found Dr. Heike, they all have been helpful in showing me what I can do for a long term fix. If you’ve been in a car accident, are active in sports, or just hurt this is the place to go!

I have been seeing Dr. Heike for three years and he is the best. He has always done such a wonderful job and now I am doing much better with my chronic shoulder and back pain. Dr, Heike is always very patient and taking the time to makes sure he has fixed your problem properly. One time, I accidentally tweak my back and could hardly move, I came in looking for a emergent miracle relief and Dr. Heike did such an amazing job, I left the office feeling much better. It is such a wonderful experience with Dr. Heike.
The massage therapy sessions are awesome as well. And the office staff are always veryf friendly and make you feel very comfortable/

Dr. Neely is the best! The whole office is great. Everyone is nice and very on top of it. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Neely’s for 2 years now and my back thanks me every time I see him. This is the place to go!

I have been going to see Dr Heike for a few years. He is great, takes the time to understand the issue you are having and works on it until it is better. The therapists in the office are also great. I have had a couple of knee/​leg injuries over the years and Dr Heike and the therapists always help me heal fast!

I have been going to see Dr. Ryan for a couple of years. He is fantastic and so are the therapists.
Tisa the Acupuncturist is a miracle worker, recently I had been dealing with severe pain from doing something bad to my IT band, after about six weeks the pain seemed to have reached a point where it was not getting better so I decided to give acupuncture another try, I had previously tried it three times and found it to be unpleasant, I had one session with Tisa and it went well, the needles didn’t hurt, I was able to relax and when it was over I felt ok. I tried another session a couple of days later with the same results but the day after that second session the pain was totally gone! I am now addicted to acupuncture with Tisa!

Dr. Tyler and the rest of the therapists here are first class. Dr. Tyler really knows the anatomy of the body and what can be the root cause of your pain. He is very patient and thorough in his assessment. I would highly recommend coming here to see him and is his team of massage therapists.

had a deep tissue massage that I got as a gift. it was wonderful! it hurt but the good kind of pain. the therapist really got in there and worked on my knotty back. if you don’t like deep tissue/​painful massages that really get rid of your stress/​knots, this might not be for you.
I like that you don’t feel awkward by not giving a tip. .this is a medical service so you pay and you’re done. unfortunately they’re out of network for my insurance, so not sure how that’s gonna work when I go back.
everyone there was really nice and I would definitely recommend.

I tweaked my back two days ago while visiting San Diego. I have a regular chiropractor back home in Virginia, but that was not to be much help in San Diego. My son who lives here sees Dr Ryan and highly recommended him to me. Dr Ryan graciously adjusted his schedule to see me twice in two days and did wonders for my back. Thank you! He is an excellent chiropractor and the people who work here are friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this practice and Dr Ryan.

This review has been long over due! As soon as you step into the door you are treated like family. The Back in Motion team are awesome!
I had been coming here for a while (stopped because of insurance). In which, I wish they were in our network or had the same benefits as before. I understand, it’s business.
Dr. Ryan is phenomenal, he knows what’s up! I was having right knee pain and extremely bad headaches and helped resolve all issues. He is very passionate in what he does and it shows!
The massage therapy sessions were awesome. They have over 14 that work there and finding the right one was so difficult because they all had their own special touch!

The Back in Motion team is exceptional. I started seeing Dr. Tyler when I was experiencing incredible pain and loss of mobility in my shoulder and arm along with numbness in my fingers. I had seen other chiropractors and dr. s but had little improvement. Trying Back in Motion was my last effort at seeking chiropractic help for the issue and I’m so grateful I did. Within a few weeks I saw measurable improvement — pain relief, increased mobility and improved awareness of how to prevent reoccurrences. I’ve stayed with the practice through my pregnancy as well, and with the team’s support, have managed to maintain good alignment and minimal (as in zero) back pain throughout the last nine months. I can’t recommend Dr. Tyler (and Dr. Ryan too!) highly enough. If you have the chance to work with the massage therapists, do it — truly a therapeutic experience — Julia is fantastic. Linda at the front desk is wonderful too. Great team all around.

I recently moved and as such had to find a new chiropractor — never a fun task. But I really lucked out when I found Dr. Klima and back in motion.
For the initial $ 39 I got TWO 1 hour sessions and xrays and Dr. Klima spent more than the two hours with me. His adjustments really stuck and I’ve been back since.
Really great chiropractors. Highly recommended.

I’m a huge fan! My cousin referred me and I’m so glad she did;
Dr Tyler is a godsend. He’s personable, thorough and most of all, takes the time to be sure I clearly understand the why-​how-​what the root of my pain issues are. And he’s assigned me homework using the foam roller to improve my problem areas.
In one session, I have learned specific techniques to help alleviate my foot, hip and neck pain, plus I am more committed to just keeping active throughout the day because now I comprehend how motion works for me, and inactivity works against me. Of course, he adjusted me and did some sports type massage which I desperately needed. Seriously, I felt so much lighter and had more range of motion after that one session than after most hour long massages. Plus since Dr T knows my fitness goals, he is advising me on how to avoid injury while training for my first Half Marathon.
I took advantage of the Unilocal Check in deal for new patients for $ 39!!!
call and book to find out details. SO WORTH IT!!!
The staff at the front desk are exceptionally nice too. Ashley emailed me paperwork to complete at home which sped up the checking in process, along with directions, and Linda really worked with my schedule to be sure I had my follow up right away.
The office is clean, modern and spacious.
The busy parking lot was full, though I got a spot just fine.

Dr. Ryan is very knowledgeable and kind. He always explains my situation to me patiently, and I feel like he really cares about his patients!
Physical therapists are also very knowledgeable and friendly. My favorite part of the visit is closing my eyes and lying down on a massage table, so relaxing! The massage therapy rooms are sanitize and always playing music so you can expect a peaceful and comfortable environment for your massage.
The office is clean and updated, with comfy couches and selections of yogi tea bags too! There are a few front desk persons and they are all very helpful and nice, especially Linda!

I changed chiropractors after I tried Dr. Tyler just one time! I have been seeing other Chiropractors for nearly two years for various aches and pains due to working at a computer, sports injuries, car accidents, etc, and no one compares to the level of care I receive now at Back in Motion. Communication between the doctors and the massage therapists is impeccable; one can tell that Dr. Tyler must really hand-​pick his therapists, because their treatment mixed with his adjustments make for a really happy spine (neck, shoulders, knees, et al.). Everyone is very knowledgeable and you really can learn something every visit.
I never feel rushed going to this place. I always get plenty of time with the doctor and the therapist, and all of my questions are fully answered. Everyone here is so personable and friendly, and I almost didn’t post this review at all because I want to keep this wonderful place a secret :-)

Back In Motion is a beautiful, brand new, chiropractic and physical therapy office. You will find modern décor with an earthy feel, artistic tile work and a comfy waiting area with wireless internet. The office has an all around, great staff, many of whom have worked together for years and moved into the new office together. From the front desk to the massage therapy rooms, you feel welcome and are greeted with a smile.
I have been a patient of Dr. Tyler’s for a number of years now and I have only had positive experiences with him and his team. He is known for being energetic and upbeat, yet he takes the business of health seriously and he is dedicated to the well-​being of his patients. Dr. Tyler takes a whole body approach in his practice and goes beyond just making spinal adjustments during treatment. As the other reviewers mentioned he often incorporates bodywork, stretching and recommends specific exercises as well.
While you are there, book a massage… the therapists are incredible.
I recommend this office to anyone and everyone looking for service that is above and beyond the norm.
If you are an athlete, a runner or even just a generally active person looking to feel your best, Back In Motion is the place to go.

I went to Dr Tyler after strong recommendations from some co-​workers. On the first visit he took a full hour with me to asses my situation, listen to my issues, and concerns I had with chiropractic in general. I’ve been going back regularly ever since.
The office is very focused on education and overall wellness. The therapists are very knowledgeable and have a wide range of massage specialties. As a runner, Dr Tyler and his staff have coached me on varieties of stretches, tools, and techniques to help prevent injury and keep me running.
Overall, outstanding. Way more than just your «crack your back» Chiropractor.
