Physical Therapists near Oakland

“Emily is super helpful with my finger symptoms. She was able to help me diagnose the exact cause of the issue and set up a rehab plan. I visited her 3 times in total, and each time she was able to provide specific changes to the rehab plan based on my recovery progress. Overall, I would highly recommend her if you are a climber and looking to rehab your seemingly mysterious injury.“

“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.“

“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 just love this physical therapy clinic. Skilled physical therapist in various modalities.
They are fantastic for post hip replacement therapy and vertigo physical therapy that I have found most beneficial! Learning many game changing exercise exercises to prevent my vertigo from coming back! I love this Clinic and it’s the only place I would go for physical therapy! Megan and Brenda are delightful and the front office staff and everyone who works there is always so kind!“

“I came under the care of Marty Mattox after I broke a bone in my foot. I wanted to get back to training for marathons as soon as possible without the risk of reinjuring myself. The entire staff was great, from the people booking the appointment to checking me in to the support therapists that took me through exercises. Marty herself was very knowledgeable, extremely experienced, including with athletes and got me back to being me. On to the Chicago Marathon for me.“

“I am so grateful I found Janette. I started experiencing debilitating sciatica pain during my 3rd trimester of pregnancy. After Janette evaluated me, she figured out exactly what was causing the pain and her incredible skills brought me immense relief. I cannot imagine how I would have made it through my last two months of pregnancy if I had not worked with Janette. I highly and confidently recommend her!“

“I worked with Giancarlo, Carlie, and Zoe throughout my pre- and post-ACL reconstruction surgery, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t be in the same physical/mental place without them. I’m incredibly grateful for their wisdom and guidance throughout this year journey.

When I first tore my ACL, I didn’t think I would ever be able to climb or run long distances again. But today I’m bouldering, running up to 8 miles, and even started a new sport—BJJ.

Giancarlo especially supported me throughout the entire process. He is an excellent PT and provided exercises that helped manage my pain and rebuild the strength in my leg. Carlie and Zoe were also amazing, guiding me through each exercise and helping me maintain proper form. Carlie is always on top of the paperwork and is great at responding to emails/phone calls as well.

I’m truly grateful for this team and everything they’ve done for my recovery.“

“I suffered two tibial plateau fractures and so was non-weight bearing for months. The recovery was difficult because of leg and feet atrophy. Four 4 months straight Joey took me through all the steps to recovery. Extremely knowledgable, convivial, empathetic and appropriately forceful, Joey is the best. I am back to biking and hiking.If you want to recover and be like you were, you should call Joey.“

“I was referred to Bayo Vista from a friend who had a great experience with Karen. I had Karen for my intake appointment she made me feel very comfortable with the pelvic exam. I have been working with Emily for all of my other appointments and she is WONDERFUL. She looks at your whole body and works on all parts holistically. I felt silly to point out my knee feeling stiff in one appointment as it wasn't the major problem spot. Emily looked into it and wow, did she make a difference! I felt like a new person. I had assumed that this knee would always feel that way after I had ACL reconstruction 7 years ago... but I was happily proven wrong! All appointments are 1 hour and you really get focused time with Emily or Karen. They are out of network with insurance, but I would still highly recommend them due to the quality of care you receive. Emily and Karen also have been very supportive of my bringing my baby with me. It was very comfortable to bring her and we took breaks as needed for nursing/holding. Thank you for being baby friendly, especially when a mama just needs some physical therapy love postpartum. :) Erika is also their billing and administrative ninja. She is so on top of sending out superbills for insurance the day of your appointment and booking appointments for you. I really appreciate that Bayo Vista uses text messages for booking appointments or their online system. I would highly recommended Bayo Vista!“

“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.“
