Sports Medicine in Palo Alto

“Was feeling like I needed to wake my body up before I got back into some training...my outcomes were much more sustainable. Marcel is communicative, welcoming, provides clear expectations, space for client control and results. Did the 10 series. Each session had a different focus, but felt connected to one another. I experienced greatest/obvious impact early on (session 1) it felt like my walking gate completely reset...it was awesome, like reconnecting my brain and legs. I've played soccer for years and no doubt my body has been compensating one way or another for as long as I can remember - I started feeling balance. This kicked started a series of sessions/results that ultimately increased my full body range of motion, improved posture and core engagement, created a sense of deeper breathing, and feeling of flow in my movements. It's been about 3 months and I still can feel the effects...my mind/body connection is much stronger (like knowing immediately what to stretch/change if something feels off and being more confident on when to take breaks or lean in harder with exercises). I've been able to train and play soccer with more ease, less strain. Keeping it real, this is an investment. I decided I could redirect some spending to prioritize my body and health - my results were definitely worth it. Thank you, Marcel!“

“I’ve been to three other PT places; this is the best.one I've been to:
They’ve lockers , which is nice.
The therapist does an assessment and then recommends exercises.
They have fabulous assistants (I have Camilla and love her)that follow through to make sure I’m doing the exercise correctly. Shes kind, very knowledgeable and fun.
Then another assistant sets me up on the ice.
The therapist I use, Curt, is great, but I think they all are. He takes the time to explain how I’m doing and the different changes w exercises. ( they’ll print out or email the exercises ).He’s knowledgeable and has fun humor.
This is my to-go PT place and I tell everyone.“

“Dr. Rikke is exceptional! Her motto, “keep moving!”, is some of the best advice a medical practitioner can give. And when you encounter issues along the way, she has the depth of knowledge and experience to address— and then help you to avoid— the issues that crop up! Five stars. For sure!“
