Physical therapy near El Cerrito

“This business is a hidden gem, and Andreea is the absolute BEST. I’ve been to all sorts of massage, body work, and physical therapy places and nothing else compares to the service here. Andreea’s wealth of knowledge is evident- she has a deep understanding of anatomy (particularly in women) and utilizes a range of modalities in each session. Often times I have come in with muscle pain but left feeling like my tightness was finally able to relax. I could say great things about this business all day! Highly recommend“

“More than just a stretching lab, it is a skilled community dedicated to vitality. For me it has proved essential to maintaining good circulation, balance and mobility. I found it more useful than my medical physical therapy sessions. Assisted Stretching is an inspiring approach to healing that works. Highly recommended.“

“I come to Healthwell for my hypermobile EDS and everybody I’ve worked with is amazing! Janica, Sonam, and Emily are all wonderful to work with and very knowledgeable. I recommend it to everyone I know with hypermobility or EDS.“

“Dr. Wong and the reception staff are very nice. Dr. Wong has really helped me with my back issues. He’s very capable, quick to discern and treat whatever is wrong with you. The reception staff are nice, accommodating, and thoughtful.“

“He is a great doctor. He listens to you very carefully and try to know how you feeling and where the actual pain is. He makes sure you exercise and follow his instructions. My issue has been greatly addressed by him and now I am feeling so much better. Definitely coming back if I ever need help.“

“Lower back and hip pain were the reason I went to The Technique PT. Dr. Lin was able to directly address these issues and after several sessions the symptoms were either nearly or completely eliminated. He uses a range of therapies in his office paired with an easy to use web-based program of individual exercises.“

“I had bilateral mastectomy with DIEP and DCIA flap reconstruction, and finding the right post-op physical therapist made an enormous difference in my recovery. I want to be candid about my path here because I think it’ll help other patients in the same position.

My plastic surgeon recommended Level Up PT specifically, but they're private and out-of-network, so I initially tried to find someone in-network instead. I found a physical therapist who said they had experience with this surgery, but my recovery was treated like a standard sports injury rehab. The specifics of flap reconstruction — protecting the flaps, the staged nature of recovery, the abdominal core involvement from the flap harvest — weren’t part of the plan. I wasn’t progressing, and I was genuinely worried about hurting myself.

I switched to Dr. Hilary at Level Up and paid out of pocket. The difference was immediate. She understood every detail of this surgery and exactly what each stage of healing required. I finally felt like someone understood what my body had actually been through, and I was able to safely return to full function, including a physically demanding job. She also did extensive manual work on my scar tissue - something that in network providers don’t have time to do.

I know it’s hard to justify an out-of-pocket expense on top of everything else breast cancer already costs. But if you’ve had a double mastectomy, and especially if you’ve had flap reconstruction, this is the kind of specialized expertise that genuinely changes your outcome. I don’t think I’d be back to work without her. Worth every penny.“

“Great organization! Well organized, thoughtful, and concerned in your well being. I highly recommend PSM!“

“Massage was great. Ezra has a great intuitive touch and Im definitely interested in coming back, but next time I would love more work around the Psoas and a little belly work to bring the whole body together in the session, but overall pretty good. (I'm a massage therapist of 20 plus years myself so I definitely have my preferences and I know you can't do EVERYTHING every time!). One really important piece of feedback I have however, is that All therapists working here should have intake and consent forms to receive bodywork. I was surprised that they didn't have one. (For legal liability/protection)“

“Emily did a fantastic job of identifying my injury and recommending practical exercises for rehab of it. It's awesome being able to talk to someone about injuries who actually understands climbing. Thanks Emily!“

“I am very thankful to the advice I received from Jessica on a persistent knee issue that kept me from high intensity workouts. Jessica diagnosed the issue correctly and designed a treatment that helped me make real improvement. She is very disciplined in her approach, doesn’t cut corners, and is a great person too. Also, it was a real pleasure working with the front desk team. They are super nice and helpful. Thank you!“

“Physical therapy at Renew has been completely life-changing. Jackie took all of my concerns seriously and helped me meet my goal of returning to regular barbell lifting. She was diligent about educating me and moving at my pace. I learned so much and all of my pain and mobility issues have resolved. I now have the tools and resources to address any problems that may recur but I’d honestly be more than happy to return to working with Jackie again!“

“I've been to the other locations in the Bay several times, but recently having moved to Oakland, I finally got to visit the Rockridge location.
The staff was incredibly nice and attentive and my room was ready as soon as I got there.
The facility was quiet and clean and my session was nothing short of refreshing. It's something that I always look forward to for a good reset.
They never rush you or hurry you up which I appreciate because sometimes it take me a little while longer before and after my floats to get in and out. The vanity area is in the middle of the facilities which is different from what I'm used to but I had to trouble finding it or getting what I needed.
I recommend and will be back!“

“This chiropractic office is such a warm and welcoming place. The staff are always friendly and make you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. Dr. Jen is compassionate, professional, and incredibly thorough. I really appreciate her holistic approach to care — she takes the time to listen and address the whole person, not just the symptoms. I always leave feeling great. Highly recommend!“

“Everyone at Albany PT is friendly, knowledgeable, and really helpful. Ann Michelle has been fantastic. After a couple of sessions I’m already feeling better.“

“I’ve had a wonderful experience at Avid Sports Medicine. I went in with both acute and chronic issues, and have made great progress doing regenerative therapy with Dr. Jow and PT with Natalie. Both are so kind and knowledgeable. Katie at the front desk is very kind as well and makes scheduling appointments a breeze. 5 Stars for sure…would highly recommend!!“

“My experience with Christina was the best Physical Therapy I’ve experienced and highly recommend Agile Physical Therapy.“

“James is excellent! With a sciatica of pain at 8of 10. he brought the pain down to 5 in one session !“

“There is truly nothing like this place anywhere in the world. This level of care and compassion from medical providers is very rare nowadays, and I’m so glad I found it so close to my work!

From the very first visit, I already felt part of the “family” and like I was going to be taken care of. Micheline knows her stuff, and I felt like she was personally invested in my improvement. Every single aide was personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive. Micheline makes sure every aide checks in on how you’re feeling at the beginning, if you’ve noticed any pain or changes, and redoes the plan for you every time. Then Micheline does body work on you and asks you how you’re doing. They always do what you’re comfortable with, and they’re super flexible with whether you’re there over time or leave early. Everything is up to you, and I don’t think there’s that level of care anywhere else.

Scheduling was made easy as Micheline gives you her phone number in case you’re running late or need to move things around last minute. They are so understanding and truly want to make sure you’re doing better. I have never been so sad to leave a place that tortured me with wall sits and bird dogs! And the fact that they send you a little graduation email is adorable.

Thank you everybody at Land’s End, and I hope to never see you again!“

“I have been coming to Apex for a long time and can attest that Erica and her staff provide excellent care. They always know the latest and greatest techniques, and are very kind and patient. I highly recommend!“

“Sirena is truly wonderful—let me start there! I've been seeing her for about five years, originally after being referred for complementary care alongside my Neurofeedback Therapy (which I also recommend). During that time, she provided the perfect support. Sirena has an incredibly calming, caring, and grounding energy. Whenever I suffer from severe tension headaches, often made worse by sitting at a desk all day, she's my first choice. While massage therapy gave me some relief, it just wasn't enough—so I went to Sirena. I'd arrive with a headache and leave completely pain-free! Her gentle techniques really are remarkable. I might not fully understand how they work, but they certainly do. I've even seen her for digestive issues, which improved after our sessions. If you want to treat yourself with self-love and kindness, schedule a visit with Sirena.“

“TJ is an outstanding therapist. I’ve been dealing with chronic neck issues for a while, and every time I see him, he knows exactly where to focus to relieve my pain. He has an incredible skill to release tension, improve my mobility, and help me function better in my daily life.“

“I can't recommend Innersport highly enough! Dr. Jess is exceptionally knowledgeable and gave me a wide array of very effective exercises to address ongoing hamstring and peroneal tendon pain, focusing not just on relieving symptoms but on combating the underlying imbalances that lead to injury. As a serious runner chasing the olympic marathon trial standard, I appreciated her experience working with endurance athletes competing at the highest levels, and her commitment to getting me back to full volume training. She followed up by email between sessions with suggestions, streamlined the booking process to make it easy to get an appointment, and was always timely and personable. The gold standard for physical therapy.“

“Rebeca is incredible. She has healing powers and an incredible touch. She has adjusted to my needs from visit to visit. And I feel completely rejuvenated after seeing her.“

“Had a fantastic experience with Lily at GGPT following a microdiscectomy to fix a herniated disc at L5/S1. After months of nerve damage pre-surgery, it was a slow recovery process. Lily was patient, helping me rebuild my strength and mobility over the course of many months. Most of all, she helped me regain confidence in my body.“

“After my surgery I initially worked with a UCSF pelvic floor therapist that my surgeon referred me to, and I was very unhappy with them. When I switched to working with Victoria at PFTB my care greatly improved and my healing progressed faster.“
