Physical Therapy near Petaluma

“I’ve been working with Mitchell Kauk, PT and owner, for well over 35 years. He has a more holistic approach while caring for the whole person rather than just the injury. He tries to keep his clients away from surgery if possible and leans more towards quality of life, long term, rather than a quick fix. He’s extremely knowledgeable and willing to try different things to help his clients. I have referred many people to him and have never heard a complaint. I don’t think you’ll find a better physical therapist in the county. POST also has a very homie feel to it and a very caring nature. A big part of this is because of Christina, Mitchell’s wife, business partner and office manager.I’ve had nothing but good experiences at POST and feel lucky to have them available to me.“

“On my first visit to Dr. Paul's office, I talked about my ongoing pain and numbness on my whole left side. I had symptoms going on since 2016. On my first reflex test with Dr. Paul, I could feel how different the muscle/nerve response was compared to my right side. I had lost 90% of my grip on my left hand, barely felt my left leg, and had unbearable pain for someone my age (27). I found Dr. Paul through a referral and I am amazed by what I could accomplish thus far. He recommended a corrective care program that would cover 90 days (3 times per week) with a reasonable discount which really helped me since I needed more visits because of my situation. This program included re-exams, re-X-rays, and home care routine exercises with some home kits provided by his clinic. I learned with Dr. Paul that soft tissue and nerves heal slowly, therefore patience is necessary to see results. So as you can see in the images attached, during these 3 months I've made real progress, drinking more water, stretching, and going to my therapy with Dr. Paul. I've let these symptoms take over for so long that my body is slowly recovering only now and I will continue regular care with Dr. Paul until my frequency is reduced to once a month. The tipping point was when the pain started spreading to my right upper back and going to reach my right arm, and I am right-handed. My symptoms were these: Numbness and heaviness on the left arm and leg, head, left buttock, and testicle, difficulty breathing, sleeping and exercising or working, zero motivation to complete tasks, 24h stabbing pain in my back near the spine, burning on my hands and dropping objects, unable to hold objects for over 30 seconds on my left hand, neck pain, heaviness on chest and pain chewing food on my left side.Dr. Paul also explained that shifts in our spine, incorrect posture, and degeneration of disks, cut down the communication (flow of energy) with the organs, slowly causing disease and failure. I still have a lot of work to do and I'm glad it wasn't too late for me.I'd also like to remind you that it's still important to get extra exams done and really get to the bottom of what you're feeling. What I can say is that chiropractic help was fundamental for my symptoms to start going away and finally be able to return activities to moderate levels. I bartend and wait tables, so I am always on the move, getting those regular adjustments also make a huge difference.Today, I feel like I went from 0% to at least 80% in general in these 3 months and I am feeling a lot better, and walking straight, which also makes me feel taller and people definitely notice my new level of confidence by the way I carry myself.Needless to say, I renewed care with Dr. Paul for another shorter-term plan after the corrective care, which will allow me to reduce visits little by little as I'm recovering.“

“I am so thankful for all the excellent care I have received over the years from Karen for my ankle, knees, wrist and shoulder, etc... You really made a difference!“

“I was dealing with major back pain, arm and leg numbness, and frequent injuries that are now gone because of my treatments with Dr. Paul. I now have more stamina and strength in doing the things I love because of the time and effort put in by Dr. Paul and his staff to correct my posture and overall improve my health. They are always kind and courteous and take really great care of their patients. A lot of my family members and friends also attend and have had great experiences as well.“

“I had a great experience at renew physical therapy. Imee was fantastic and helped me correct all of the things that I was doing wrong to my body. I feel so much better now. I highly recommend her.“
