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 cannot recommend my PT, Artisha Cheng enough. She very quickly identified my main issues and weaknesses (weak core, hip flexor tightness, and anterior pelvic tilt) and created a clear, effective plan to address them.
She gave me very helpful home exercises. What I appreciate the most is how diligent she was in observing and correcting my form, even very minor mistakes which made a huge difference in my progress.“

“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!“
