The therapists I've had are very informed and focused on making things better. It's a good feeling to know you're being well taken care of, so I'm grateful for having them..“

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Kakleas and his amazing staff! From the moment I walk into the office, I am greeted with warmth and professionalism. His entire team is dedicated, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond to make every visit a great experience. Dr. Kakleas has helped me tremendously with my chiropractic care, addressing my issues with incredible skill and precision. He takes the time to listen and understand my concerns, ensuring I feel comfortable and confident in the treatment process. His dedication to my health and well-being is clear, and I have seen significant improvements thanks to his care. If you're looking for a chiropractor who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about his patients, I highly recommend Dr. Kakleas. His staff is top-notch, and together, they make every visit something to look forward to!“

“Al is not only skilled, highly knowledgeable, and dedicated to the art and science of body work, but he's courageous in his approach. He doesn't waiver on approaching the body from a best practices mindset even when there may be 'crowds' who argue with it. Speaking as a fellow body worker, I can say that Al's insight into massage to help with low back, hip, shoulder, neck pain.... is one of the most effective approaches I've ever received. And, he's a community leader in massage - a true Master - highly recommend getting on his schedule while he's still taking new clients.“

“I developed a serious back problem and could not walk. The medical recommendation was surgery. I wanted to try something less intrusive, though the pain and limitations on functioning were severe. A friend had had a good experience with Dr. Schillinger, and recommended him. Previously I had been rather doubtful about chiropractic work. Boy, was I wrong. I am walking now, without pain or discomfort, getting stronger and feeling tremendously better. Dr. Schillinger is outstanding. He's thoughtful, informed, open and pays attention. I recommend him highly and without reservation.“

“If you have been struggling with tennis elbow, I strongly recommend Allen. Don’t try cortisone, give this a try first. Allen is 100% focused on tennis (and golf) elbow. His approach is primarily on using massage techniques to stimulate the rehabilitation of tendons and ligaments but also on stretching and strength exercises. I’ve been to about five sessions and feel very much that my tennis elbow issues are close to resolved.“

“Dr. Lauren Malachowski is currently my treating physical therapist. As someone who has been both a physical therapy patient off and on for the past 40 years, and a rehabilitation professional who worked with physical therapists collegially, and co-treated patients with them, I am eager to let folks know what an exceptionally talented physical therapist Dr. Malachowksi is. Not only is she accomplished with all of the standard and cutting-edge knowledge and skill of a well-trained and licensed physical therapist, but she brings to the work a rare sensibility for grasping the whole person, along with a passionate commitment to assist patients in realizing their rehabilitation goals. Perhaps most unusual, I have found that within a very short time she showed an uncanny intuitive ability to understand exactly what I needed as a patient, despite my presenting with a complicated history of musculo-skeletal challenges. Dr. Malachowski’s uncommon insight as a clinician felicitously combines with an accurate empathic quality and a genuine relational facility that makes the experience of working with her fresh and effective. Most remarkable of all, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Malachowski forged a powerfully functional, individually-honed and fruitful therapeutic relationship with me, entirely through remote means.Eliezer T.

“Not only is this kind of body work amazing but the practitioners here all have lots of other and varied skills that can really help you get out of the bind you're in with your body. They do a lot of work to release trauma impingements that cause downstream pain and dysfunctions. As well as fix any type of recent postural dysfunction that's causing pain. They work on your body to find what muscles are being recruited in any and all types of movements and reawaken and engage proper muscles to help correct any imbalance that's causing an issue. They know a lot about the body and reawakening it. All the practitioners work together to help figure out your quickest path to recovery. And everyone is super nice there from a practitioners to the office managers. I had many issues with my feet and all types of things with my back from being in a wheelchair for a bit. They straightened up my back on one visit and kept it maintained that way with maintenance visits, also did wonders to correcting the strength and posture in my feet. Highly recommend.“

I have been assigned to every therapist, each one with a unique perspective and approach,; yet each therapist was focused on my individual needs and results. It's actually a trea to do physical therapy with this group of caring and competent individuals. I always leave with a smile on my face!“

“Tammara is the best trainer I have ever worked with! Because she is so experienced both as a PT and a trainer, she is really able to tailor my workouts. I have a chronic illness and she has been able to give me workouts that have increased my strength, endurance and flexibility. She is also fun to work with!“

“I have been seeing Marci at Pelvic Path for close to 10 months now. My initial reason for coming was bladder leakage... But things began surfacing in my body that I thought were unrelated. Each session I would mention the new thing and each time Marci would have an explanation on how the symptom I was experiencing was related to the pelvic floor and would offer up an exercise to address the issue. Not only has my leakage improved dramatically but so has my overall physical strength and mental well-being. She uses an integrative approach to healing and strengthening. I feel empowered and engaged in my healing process. She is giving me tools to take with me as I move forward.Marci is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, empathetic, adaptable and upbeat with just the right amount task master thrown in.The sessions are always different and meet me where I'm at on the day of the session. I trust her implicitly! She is a valued member of my health care team.“

“I’m visiting Dr. Drew and he is treating my Frenchies for spine health as well, I know, very Marin. More like San Rafael. I’m getting adjustments to support my low back and hips, the same as Penny and Bazzi. He also does horses offsite, Right? I found Dr. Drew looking for cold or hot laser to help with my Psoas, I am also doing ultrasound treatments once a week after each session, using multiple modalities to facilitate free movement. The team is great and Dr. Drew gives good clean adjustments for spinal care. This is a great local resource.“

“I’ve been going to Chappy Wood at Marin Spine & Wellness for 15 years or so. Always get the best professional help with injuries or aches and pains caused by habitual habits with body misalignments during repetitive yoga practice. Chappy is the best! I’ve worked with Julia too for excellent care. I love that he now has his fascia bodyworker Cliff Wong working with him and that he has a powerful red light bed. And the best greeter in town—their dog Chewy.“

“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 feel the best I’ve felt in a long time with these sessions with Jeff. Best PT I’ve had. Very grateful! Pain gone mobility increased swimming improving.“

“I asked Brook to help me with my spinal stenosis; he helped a lot.

I also have peripheral neuropathy in my feet; so I asked him for more help. The impact of his work was startling; his ‘digging pressure’ on a spot in the sole of my foot really invigorated my damaged nerves. I felt the benefit for say 18 hours.

I live six thousand miles east of Brook. When I got home, I tried to mimic his process. It worked. I now perform it every 12 hours and there is a cumulative effect. My feet have not felt so ‘alive’ for more than four years. It makes a very big difference to my life.

Bless you and thank you Brook. I hope that you will have the opportunity to make a similar difference to the life of anyone else who reads this. They will be just as grateful to you as I am.“

“This place is so fantastic you almost don’t mind that you’re recovering / injured / healing. My daughter and I have been regulars at this clinic for almost a year and a half, as she pre-hab’d and re-hab’d from knee surgery and in my case, as I fight to be as fierce as possible to fend off faux knees. The clinic is fun, clean, friendly, welcoming, organized and all the things. But the secret weapon is the combination of personalized care and best-in-class skill of all the therapists there. We’ve worked with many of the Therapists but have also watched / listened to the others since we’ve been there so often. They are all truly exceptional. To be clear, don’t book an appointment here if you just want to put in the requisite weeks some doctor told you you need to be able to check the box. Do go here if you are ready to learn and work and feel and perform your very best.“

“I recently started getting massages with Nelly and she is a true professional. Before each session she checks in about how I’m feeling and asks which areas I want to focus on. During the massage, she makes it feel like we’re working on the problem together—I focus on breathing properly while she targets the tight, painful spots, and it honestly makes the session twice as effective. She’s also very easy to talk to, which makes the whole experience even more comfortable.

The studio itself has a wonderful atmosphere—spacious, beautiful rooms where you actually want to stay for a few minutes after the massage to rest and reset. The front desk staff are friendly and helpful, and I love the little touches like water and nuts available after the session.

Booking is also super easy with their online system—no phone calls, no confusion, and everything runs smoothly. I’m so happy I found this place and I’ll definitely keep coming back.“

“Lisa is masterful at administering deep tissue massage, which is absolutely heavenly; Michael and Jacob are leading me through targeted exercises and stretching on a rack. All working in concert to heal my spine, nerve pain and disc damage resulting from a traumatic injury. They’re good listeners, attentive, responsive to my needs and concerns and thorough, taking excellent care notes. Mackenzie at reception is welcoming and diligent, assuring that x-rays done by my neurosurgeon were received and reviewed. I highly recommend this facility. I feel better after every session.“

“Top tier therapy provider. Cassie is amazing and really helped me through some really tricky/painful stuff. You get quick results and a long term plan to mitigate flare ups or setbacks. Can’t recommend Renew enough“
