“I was impressed by the care and analysis taken by La Foot staff before they tried to sell me anything. After careful listening to my athletic needs, habits, and deficiencies they recommended a shoe that turned out to be ideal for my needs. The initial experience was so positive that I returned for gym specific shoes and ortho inserts for my Haflinger cork slippers. 6-months + into wearing the first shoes I remain totally satisfied. If you visit La Foot Plus be sure to go well before closing time. At the end of the day they respect their staff's non-work time by closing promptly at closing time, if not a little before.“

“I’ve been coming to Dr. Ben for a couple of months now, and he’s the best chiropractor I’ve seen. He takes the time to really get to know you and understand what brings you into the office. He really cares about his patients.I’ve noticed a big difference since starting treatment. Highly recommend!“

“I have suffered from lower back ( SI joint ) pain for 3 years and went through 4-5 providers of various types including osteopaths, acupuncturists, specialized Massage and considered doing PRP. Dr. Cohen was methodical in his assessment and therapy choices in each session. Most importantly reviewing it at the start of each appointment and communicates clearly on why and hows of what he is doing. Through a combination of what he has done with alignment and muscular manipulations together with what I have stopped doing ( re-injuring) he has brought me back to 95-98% in a couple of months and I believe I will get back to 100% recovery shortly so that I can return to training. I extend the highest recommendation for his work.“

“All are friendly and knowledgeable. They do everything in their power to accommodate your schedule. The practitioners are always emphatic and understanding...wanting only the very best outcome to get you back to your best physical self. I would highly recommend Active Health Center!“

“#bdayseason2025 - HEALTH A wonderful treat of my birthday season was an unexpected referral to the Clinton Chiropractic. Dr. Reyes' technique combines electric stimulation with massage gun as needed, before making the hands-on adjustment. I noticed results within a few visits, with lingering improvements to my wrist & shoulders. His relaxed, personable manner doesn't hurt either!“

“Still the best chiropractic clinic. Dr. Ruch has helped me through two motorcycle accidents--one left me bedridden and unable to walk, until Dr. Ruch adjusted my hips. Seriously-- I couldn't stand up one minute... and the next minute I could. Life changing. Their laser therapy kept my legs working. All the doctors at this clinic are amazing and the staff is equally caring and helpful. They totally work with you to accommodate your needs. I recommend this clinic to every injured person I meet.“

“Excellent and caring therapists. Lots of different modalities used. Thanks to Janelle, Valerie, and Shawn.“

“My massage sessions with Catherine have completely transformed my body. My recovery is even better now.“

“I came in with a lower back pain flare up, my muscles were feeling really weak and tense, and I left feeling confident that Sandy had done something very right for the pain I was dealing with. The next day my back felt strong and pain free again! Sandy is really attentive and gentle and very intuitive. I highly recommend his work.“

“They've helped me recover from a few injuries now. Really great staff and facilities.“

“I thought I might not be able to run again and the inability to exercise was very unhealthy. But the PRP injection, strengthening exercises, and ultrasound imaging from Avid (and an MRI from insurance covered clinic) allowed me to recover from a tricky injury. Excellent staff and clinic!“

“Dr Sara Edwards is not only extremely competent, but also compassionate and very caring with her patients. I have recommended her to others who have been happy with her work as well. I only wish she was in San Francisco all the time rather than part-time in Berkeley.“

“Dr. A has been amazing for my migraine treatments! His approach is always tailored to your specific needs and he aims to provide a holistic approach to pain management. I absolutely recommend his practice.“

“Dr. Aaron has helped me tremendously over the last 10 years - from pregnancy pains, migraines, sprained ankles, foot tendinitis to general wellness needs. You are in healing hands with him!“

“Jen is a fantastic acupuncture practitioner, herbalist, and person who is going to get you feeling better. I've been to many acupuncturists and none have left me feeling as good as she has, or given as much useful and insightful information. She even helped me lower my blood pressure significantly with herbs when a decade of western medication and exercise failed“

“I used to see Dr. Gregory regularly in San Carlos after a car accident, but I moved to San Francisco, and only saw her for chiropractic "emergencies" since it was definitely a schlep (that she is well worth). I am so incredibly glad she opened up an office in ActivSpace in the Mission in San Francisco! You can't beat the care. She is also inexpensive compared to other chiropractors in SF.

Dr. Gregory always figures out what the underlying issues is and is usually able to fix it. She is like House (Like Hugh Laurie, except doesn't always misdiagnose everything as Lupus). While it says she's a sports and extremities chiropractor, she really is amazing at diagnosing underlying issues. For example, my rheumatologist and endocrinologist were stumped for 9 months, she helped identify my issue as primary hypoparathyroidism. Most recently, she fixed my carpal tunnel syndrome and saved me from unnecessary surgery. Turns out, my second rib was out from a 30-year-old injury.

Although she doesn't take my insurance, she is so worth paying out of pocket (i could submit the superbills she provides, but my insurance is terrible, so I don't bother, as she really is affordable).

I couldn't recommend Dr. Gregory any higher.“

“TJ and Sergio at Belden PT are awesome. They helped me get back from a torn ACL and MCL. Very personable and caring, clean shop, and great service. Would definitely recommend.“

“Dr. Prins is an amazing practitioner. I went to him after recovering from cervical disc replacement surgery. Also, I have double severed inoperable rotator cuffs. He has helped me get back to full function physically. I’ve seen half a dozen chiropractors. Charlie Prins is definitely the best. I highly recommend this practice.“

“Dr. Morganstein is fantastic!!! I knew to the Bay Area and was in search of a chiropractor that matched my previous experience. Not only did he meet it, but he exceeded my expectations. He's knowledgeable, friendly and understanding. I would highly recommend this office for your chiropractor needs.“

“Trevor is awesome - incredible listener and creative problem solver. Really enjoying working with him!“

“Amy and Iris are the two PT's that I've seen at Back to Life Physical Therapy; they both are very knowledgable, and thorough in their explanations and guidance. In addition to their abundant knowledge in the specific area of pelvic floor, the extra care and time they put in to really listen, understand and then instruct me have been what distinguishes them in the field of physical therapists. I have improved since starting to work with them (a year ago). The office is kept clean and neat, and is full of natural wood, natural light, and includes a library of pertinent material. Colleena, the receptionist/office manager, is a wonderful and personable and efficient part of the team. I highly recommend this practice.“

“My first visit to Dr. Basco's clinic was 2011 when I was looking for a chiropractor for my neck adjustment that cause tingling and pain in my fingers. The machine decompression is very helpful to align my whole spine. I feel a little taller every time my spine was stretched. I also
brought my two kids for spine adjustment. Love the frontal water view of the clinic and lots of parking space. Dr. Basco is kind and attentive to the patients need.“

“I've gotta say that I've come twice for major things to Dr. Davis. And both times he cured me one time it was for a back issue. I had over a long period of time and it took about six sessions till I was fine. The other time I went in there with something that hurt my knee for a couple months, and he fixed it in one visit.“

“I’ve worked with Dr Jess on several injuries related to long distance running: knees, feet, and ankles. She has always been able to help me get back to the sports I love quickly.In 2019 I had to take 10 months off of running due to injuries. Nothing I could find online was working for me and it didn’t get better with rest. I saw Dr Jess in early 2020 and she helped me identify and treat my IT band syndrome. I finished the year with over 1k miles and by 2022 achieved a long standing goal of mine to run a trail 50k in under 5 hours.What I like most about her approach is that she really teaches you how to improve form, strength, and flexibility on your own with exercises that I found easy to follow after the sessions.I will definitely see Dr Jess again if I have problems in the future.“

“Excellent experience all the way around. The front desk clerk understood my insurance plan and explainedbto me how it workes. That was very important to me so I had no unexpected cost. The doctor I can't say enough about him. Just absolutely amazing. Really knows his craft and comes up with wonderful after care plans. I definitely would recommend this chiropractic office.“

“Lindsay, Ralph and Don are amazing. There attention to patients is impeccable. I have come here for three events over the last 2 years. Through Lindsay and Ralph, I always find long term solutions with focus on exercise and very good attention to details. Don helps navigating throughly appointments and extremely patient, friendly and empathetic.
I would highly recommend.“
