Physical Therapy near Kentfield

“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.

“I have been seeing Dr. Rina for about 2 years now. She is one of the best chiropractors I have had and a warm and caring person. She is very intuitive and her adjustments have been very effective at keeping me out of pain or getting my back in shape after a flair up. Her staff is friendly and welcoming. The mini massages are alway a great addition to the treatment. The environment is very peaceful and relaxing including the tropical fishtanks! I highly recommend Tinozzi Chiropractic.“

“Marci is great, very professiona, kind and obviously loves what she does. She has taught me several stretches,m and some weight training.I have been to several sessions and I now feel more motivated to move, I feel stronger and I understand how to manage my tail bone pain better.“

“I have had chiropractic for over 25 years from NYC, Midwest to Northern California- Drew is an extraordinary chiropractor and great guy. He has taken care of me and my extended family and our spinal health for almost two years now and we couldn’t be more happy. If you know the value of a great chiropractor- you are looking for Drew Stabile.“

“Like many of you, we have visited numerous Chiropractors without any attention to detail or any result. You almost want to give up! With Chappy, he gives you full attention to your care. He really listens and helps you figure out what's going. I hope you have an excellent experience like I had, it's just unfortunate it has taken many years to find him. His staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive.“

“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.“

“Referred by a friend, Book took care of my shoulder issue in one session. Acute? Chronic? Maintenance? I recommend Brook for all!“

“I had been working with Connor for 1-2 weeks when I got an MRI result telling me I had a torn labrum, with bursitis in my rotator cuff. I had very limited range of motion, not being able to hold my arm over my head or do a lateral raise without pain. I am a tennis player, and I hadn’t served in nearly two months. However over the following 5-6 weeks Connor worked very frequently with me to get my shoulder back on track. In that stretch Connor’s commitment and dedication to getting me healthy again showed in numerous ways. He would meet me as early as I needed, and would even get out on the tennis court early in the morning with me. I saw results very quickly. I first regained my strength, and then certain movements became less painful until ultimately it felt resolved. Connor is hyper analytical and has an answer for everything. He knows when to push and when to back off. He will give you extensive reports of your sessions and overall shows a sense of care, passion, commitment, and diligence that is extremely rare. I’m truly amazed at how quickly my shoulder has healed given the state of it 5-6 weeks ago. Thanks Connor!“

“Finding Mary has been a true gift. I first came to her after I injured my back and had sciatica issues. 80% better in one session. A true change in quality of life. I also visited Mary for various athletic injuries.A mountain bike fall damaged some of my soft tissue, and I went from limping to walking comfortably after her treatment. I've also come to her with an ankle sprain, and Mary has been able to speed up the recovery process dramatically, giving me more mobility so I can get back to running trails.“

“I've been to MANY chiros over the years and Dr Joe is the absolute BEST chiropractor on the planet (imo). Knowledgeable and thoughtful. Technical and tactical. Brings a well rounded and multi-viewed approach to the practice. The fact that he has the size and strength of an NFL linebacker is huge(pun intended)and can't be over-looked. If you're a large human like myself (6'4"225lb), an equally large human chiro is a must for body positioning/manipulation. Never had anyone like Dr Joe with the knowledge of different and excellent therapeutic positions and the strength to execute said movements. Bottom line: Go see Joe.“

“Excellent! My daughter's neck felt so much better after one adjustment. Dr Tinozzi was very kind to see her so quickly.“

“DeAnna is amazing. She helped my tennis and golf elbow after 4 months of PT. Now my pain is gone and I'm playing tennis again. She is detailed and thorough and knows what to do. It's just her own practice so you get a lot of attention and follow up. She takes blue shield of CA insurance. Highly recommend. I've tried other PTs in the past both at UCSF and nearby in Tiburon. She is by far the best.“

“I've been seeing Kathleen for a few years for chronic issues as well as new injuries that have occurred in my mid-40's. I love that she is immersed in the Pilates world, since it looks at the body as a whole and how to maintain overall physical health and strength. Kathleen is thorough and thoughtful. She's knowledgeable with her treatment plans, and effective with her hands-on treatment. I'm very happy with my experience and will continue to see her. I even recommended my husband see Kathleen for an injury that wouldn't subsist, and she was able to lessen the pain immediately.“

“Until I met Laura, I was looking for a quick fix or a simple solution to my back troubles. After many months of suffering, and not finding any real support at Kaiser, I was referred to Laura by a friend. She helped me understand the mechanics of my problem, and got me started with doing exercises to strengthen the underlying weakness in my core. It's been a long, slow road but I am on my way to getting stronger and back to the things I did before my injury. Laura was the first stop on my true healing journey- she does great work, especially for people who are dealing with acute back injuries.“

“I've been looking for a new Chiropractor since mine left Marin, and Yelp reviews helped me find this office. Dr. Eckhardt and his staff are very warm and inviting. The office is immaculate, and they practice Covid safety protocols, which helped me feel very comfortable. The adjustment I had was incredibly gentle and helped immediately. I'll go back once a week for a few weeks, and we will reevaluate after those treatments.“

“Tammara is an absolute incredible physical therapist, I began going to her in 2015 and would commute an hour just for her. My entire family of runners are treated by her and I send anyone with any ailment, injuries, and hurts, major or minor. She is the only one I trust whole heartily with my body!“

“I found her excellent, helpful. She approached my physical problem from numerous different angles -- careful observation, examination, massage, exercises to do at home, many micro- fixes adding up to a big fix. Things are not perfect but much much better. You really have to work at this yourself but I am deriving great benefit and practical results from working with her. Now is a good time to access her.“

“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.“

“Sherwood is the best! If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be in such great shape.“

“My mom on the East coast turned me on to the benefits of integrated manual therapy (IMT), and suggested I find a practitioner after I fell down on my right knee on hard concrete, resulting in a terrible ache any time I had to drive more than a half-hour. Even though I waited nearly six months to get treatment, Jared managed to reverse the damage after about six sessions and my leg feels good as new! I'm amazed and so happy! I also had some issues with small dribbles of pee coming out sometimes minutes after I had used the bathroom (hello, all you mothers out there!) and Jared fixed that as well within the first, three sessions. He also provided me with acupuncture to help with insomnia and stress. I'm so impressed with his work! IMT is a hands-on treatment that works with the natural, magnetic fields in the body, and is incredibly gentle and non-invasive. I don't generally like the experience of acupuncture, and I've had acupuncturists in the past who put in tons of needles, which was unpleasant. Jared only used 4-6, tiny needles per session, but he knew exactly where to put them to be incredibly effective. It's so nice to go to a medical practitioner who knows what they are doing and actually gets results, rather than just shrugging their shoulders while taking your money, shuffling you off to someone else, or performing treatments which don't work and/or are harsh on the body. I only paid a $20 co-pay per session too, as long as I received acupuncture. Jared has you fill out a longish intake form (which you can do online) before the first appointment, and unlike most medical people I've been to, he actually read it and took it into account in my treatment. On top of that, Jared is a nice guy, fun to talk to, and I'll miss seeing him regularly now that I'm all better. Thank you, Jared! You are wonderful!“

“A few years ago I was diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, causing pain in my shoulder and arm. My neurologist highly recommended Janice for PT. I now know why: In less than 2 years, my pain level has dropped 90%, and we're not done yet! Janice is both perceptive and thorough; she identified and resolved a number of contributing issues. The result is that, not only is the pain greatly diminished, but my overall health is much better!BONUS POINTS: Janice is also a thoroughly nice person, and enjoyable to work with!“

“I have experienced the benefits of Oshana's literally healing arts for different reasons over at least a decade. She is an experienced physical therapist, who I originally visited following an injury, but she is also a practitioner of many approaches to body work. She really excels at devising a program suited to individual needs, is super perceptive about pain and movement, and is very practiced at prescribing methods to increase mobility and strength. So grateful for the all the help she has given me, and now look forward to attending some of her group sessions! Highly reccommend Oshana!“

“Always take care of me when I need them.I have been a chiropractic patient for over 50 years and had many different treatments, so this works for me well.“
