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“

“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!“

“I have had great results for my pelvic issues with PHRC, with Tiffany Ai Lan Vo and other PT’s there. The support staff is also very supportive, welcoming and competent in dealing with the insurance maze. Thank you Lisa Topete. I got excellent PT care, support and guidance there and highly recommend PHRC.

I went to PHRC after a mountain biking accident and healing of my fractured pelvic bone. The scar tissue buildup was restricting my range of motion and made bike riding painful. After much research, I found PHRC as the only PT clinics in the North Bay providing both strengthening training and manual therapy. I’m completely past my injuries and in a better physical condition than before my fall accident.“

“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.“

“I rehabbed my ACL + meniscus with Jona. I would highly recommend her, she got me from non weight bearing to partial weight bearing all the way to return to sport. She navigated every problem, ache and pain I threw at her expertly and went above and beyond for my care.

When Jona wasn’t available, I saw both Adrian and Tim and they were amazing too. It’s safe to say you would be in extremely capable hands with anyone at GGPT.

Huge shout out to the admin team too! Viktoriya and Rhonda always made sure my appointments were set and that scheduling was easy.“

“I've begun monthly body work with Rebecah and can't think of a better way to practice self care. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience, bringing just the right technique to each session, and many tips for ongoing health afterward.“

“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.“

“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.“

“After a recent sprained ankle, I needed PT to not only heal but to get my ankle in the best possible shape for an upcoming walking safari through rocky mountainous terrain. I don’t doubt I’ll have any issues thanks to Erica and her team of physical therapists’ help in accelerating my healing process. Erica takes the time to listen to my goals, and recommends the best treatments for each visit as well as home exercises with custom therapy handouts. Apex Physical Therapy is located across from Ghirardelli Square in a beautiful well-lit space with views of Aquatic Park and the Bay which is a bonus perk in the process of healing.“

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about LEPT and Micheline’s team. I previously did physical therapy at UCSF and unfortunately had a terrible experience, so I was hesitant to try again. After waiting a couple of months to get into LEPT, I finally understood why the waitlist is so long—it is absolutely worth it.

From the very first session, Micheline listened so carefully, took my concerns seriously, and continuously adjusted my treatment plan based on how I was progressing. Her expertise and attention to detail are exceptional, and her warm personality makes every visit feel welcoming—she always greets you with a big smile. Ronin has also been an absolute pleasure to work with—patient, encouraging, and always making sure I’m doing every movement correctly to avoid injury and maximize improvement.

And Mazy is just a big plus—she’s the cutest, fluffiest dog ever and brightens every session!

I genuinely feel supported here, and even as I recover, I find myself not wanting to stop because the care is that good. LEPT has completely changed how I view physical therapy, and I’m incredibly grateful for the progress I’ve made with this amazing team. Highly recommend!“

“Tara is extremely knowledgeable and fun! I couldn’t ask for a better PT. I have the use of my arm after a few sessions with her. Would not want to lose this relationship with her.“

“After extensive shoulder surgery, the team at Albany PT brought me back to health. Their patience and experience helped me to navigate the challenges that arose over the six-month rehabilitation. The front office staff were unfailingly kind and calm and supported my scheduling needs. I am very grateful to Albany PT, and especially Elayne and Ann Michelle, for helping me to achieve a fully recovery.“

“Fabulous customer service! It was wonderful. It helped my muscles and my pain level. Definitely will be returning!“

“I started coming to Dr Bath two weeks ago for plantar fasciitis and I have had such relief that I can say that the end of my pain is in sight! I appreciate the multiple modalities of hands on massage and chiropractic care.“

“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!“

“Danny helped me with a 10-year-old injury. I had pretty much given up on lifting anything above my head, and he helped me get my mobility back.“

“I want to dr mark and he help me make me feel great I hardly recommended him than you dr mark.“

“I’ve been seeing Sara and Linsey twice a week for over a year for back pain, both before and after my spinal surgery, and I truly can’t recommend them and Renew PT enough.

They’ve played a huge role in my recovery — helping me safely rebuild strength, improve mobility, and regain confidence in my body. Beyond the exercises, they take the time to educate me about what’s happening and why, which has made the whole recovery process far less intimidating.

Most importantly, they always make me feel heard, supported, and safe. They listen carefully, adjust treatment to how I’m doing, and genuinely care about their patients’ progress.

I highly recommend Renew Physical Therapy to anyone needing support and expert care for recovery and long-term strength and mobility.“

“I had my first massage with Amy today and it was fantastic. The space is adorable, clean, and the staff is incredibly welcoming. Before we started, Amy took the time to check in with me, it felt like a mini therapy session! We pinpointed exactly which areas needed the most focus. It was so relaxing that I actually fell asleep and woke up feeling completely refreshed. Amy is extremely thorough and has amazing hands. Highly recommend!“

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

“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!“

“Renew is an oasis amongst in-network physical therapy clinics. Seldom outside of private practice are therapists able to spend your whole appointment with you. Quality of care and attention to detail are top notch.

Jess helped treat my a persistent running related tendinopathy successfully after two other practitioners at other clinics failed. Her sessions focus on form an educating you on proper biomechanics so that the exercises you do outside of clinic are done properly. You're not just guided through a workout. She includes a few minutes of massage, too.

As a certified massage therapist myself, I trust Renew with my clients when they need physical therapy. Renew therapists collaborate with other practitioners in your care team to assure you receive the best possible treatment.“

“Rob is an excellent PT. He is a high performing athlete himself so I feel he has a more hands on and practical experience than other PTs when working with you. He is also very well educated in PT methods and approaches. The studio is well located and very clean and comfortable. Highly recommended.“

“Shockwave therapy at HealthWell completely changed my recovery. After dealing with intense pain for two months, Shockwave therapy allowed me to return to sports and stay active again after just a few treatments. The HealthWell team was professional, attentive, and clearly identified my problem and treated me appropriately. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with persistent pain.“

“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've been working with a couple therapists for spinal nerve issues. The therapists are knowledgeable and very helpful, and willing to work with your schedule and preferences. They may try a variety of different techniques in order to help ease immediate pain and build up the needed strength to prevent it going forward.

Getting in touch over the phone can be hit or miss as the line is often busy, but they are usually good about calling back if you leave a message. Alternatively, you can go visit them and chat with the front desk in-person – the staff are a delight.“
