Physical Therapy near Richmond

“I’ve worked with Dr Jess on several injuries related to long distance running: knees, feet, and ankles. She has always been able to help me get back to the sports I love quickly.In 2019 I had to take 10 months off of running due to injuries. Nothing I could find online was working for me and it didn’t get better with rest. I saw Dr Jess in early 2020 and she helped me identify and treat my IT band syndrome. I finished the year with over 1k miles and by 2022 achieved a long standing goal of mine to run a trail 50k in under 5 hours.What I like most about her approach is that she really teaches you how to improve form, strength, and flexibility on your own with exercises that I found easy to follow after the sessions.I will definitely see Dr Jess again if I have problems in the future.“

“I want to dr mark and he help me make me feel great I hardly recommended him than you dr mark.“

“Rob Lin is an exceptional physical therapist. Rob and his entire team are patient and welcoming, and his 1-on-1 work is phenomenal. If you have the option, I cannot recommend The Technique enough. I knew when I signed up that working with him would be an investment, and it is one I am so glad I made.

I came in with an injury that I have been struggling with for 4 months. I had been seeing another PT but I had repeated setbacks during my recovery. I was in consistent pain and I wasn’t improving.

In 3 weeks or so, Rob has gotten me to a place where I can function again and even push my physical limits. He is kind, reassuring, and his hands-on work has consistently made an obvious impact. Immediately after getting off the table, I feel less pain and improved stability that last. His work on me has allowed me to push further during session and during at-home exercises, which he’s tailored based on my feedback.

TLDR: I’ve already recommended Rob and The Technique PT to friends struggling with injuries and would urge anyone to book a free in-person consultation. Rob is amazing and I look forward to every session. I can’t thank him and his team enough.

“Ann Michelle Ongerth, Clincal Director, and her staff have been instrumental in supporting my 22 year old college student with her recovery from a winter break ACL knee surgery. She had only 3-weeks to get strong enough post surgery to return to campus for the next quarter and be independent enough to get around mostly on her own. Ucla is a hilly campus with very limited parking so this seemed like a daunting goal, but with Albany Physical Therapy’s expert guidance and treatment, she was able to meet this goal! I can’t express my gratitude strongly enough for Ann Michelle and the staff as a mother, knowing my daughter is now stable enough and ready to return to school to continue her healing journey. My daughter entered in extreme pain and after only two weeks is able to exercise and move on her own. The staff have been so caring and prioritized getting her appointments because they saw how much she needed them. The most effective, supportive, thoughtful, and fun physical therapy you could hope for!“

“I’m a firm believer in the importance of excellent customer service, and Diamond Pain Relief & Wellness truly delivered. From the moment I walked in, the front desk staff was warm and welcoming, setting a positive tone for the entire experience. The professionalism continued seamlessly through my session with James Cowan and even post-appointment.

The atmosphere at Diamond is inviting and serene, there's a noticeable calmness that instantly puts you at ease. It’s a space where you feel both comfortable and cared for.

My session with James was nothing short of amazing. Before we got started, he took the time to ask thoughtful questions to understand my needs and help set expectations for our time together. I tend to ask a lot of questions during sessions, not just out of curiosity, but to make sure what I’m feeling internally aligns with what the professional is noticing and James was incredibly patient and responsive.

What really stood out was how the conversation didn’t take away from the experience; in fact, it enhanced it. James explained the techniques he was using, the reasons behind them, and was open to my feedback throughout. It was a balanced exchange that gave me clarity about my body and my treatment without compromising the quality of the massage. Instead of feeling like the talking was a distraction, it felt like an added value an educational experience on top of a therapeutic one.

I left not only feeling physically better but also more informed and at peace. If you’re looking for high-quality, thoughtful, and personalized care, I highly recommend considering Diamond Pain Relief & Wellness.“

“Dr. Cohen & the team at Innate has genuinely saved my life! If I could give ten stars, I would. I have Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), and I could not ask for a better chiropractor. I have tried many practitioners who could barely keep me walking, and Dr. Cohen was able to get me out of support braces, stuck in bed most days in pain, and now I am dancing on my feet again! He is not only an excellent chiropractor, but also an incredibly kind, empathetic, and caring person who treats my chronic full-body condition with a gentle, effective, mind-body-spirit approach. The combination of chiropractic, PDTR, NET, and everything else that Dr. Cohen uses has been so effective. The other practitioners I have seen, Dr. Jen, Dr. Furda, Kenny Givens (massage therapist), and Michael Huff (orthobionomy) are all also very excellent, knowledgeable, and kind. Kenny Givens is my favorite medical massage therapist and I always come out of my appointments feeling better! The front desk staff is fantastic as well, Randi especially is so sweet and helpful. I recommend Innate to literally everyone I know, especially my friends with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome & other chronic conditions. Thank you so much to everyone at Innate for significantly improving my quality of life!“

“My experience at Renew Physical Therapy was fantastic, and having “graduated” from my visits a month ago, it’s clear to me that my back problems have subdued and are in the most controlled state they’ve been in years.

I was paired with Josh who I trusted almost immediately, and after a few sessions it was clear he was a good match for me and great PT in general. He was able to be almost casual or informal, while being professional at the same time. He took the time to get to know me and my issues, and his knowledge about the subject was evident. I was impressed and will be forever thankful.

The facility administrators were also great. I incorrectly documented one of my appointments and ended up accidentally no-showing, but instead of getting annoyed or charging a fee, they worked with me to reschedule quickly and efficiently. They were kind and personable, and I also really liked how quickly they responded to text messages.

It may not seem like a big deal but it was also convenient that there were always parking options outside too.

I would strongly recommend this business. And while I hope I don’t have a reason to go back, it’s comforting knowing they’re close by.“

“I worked with Emily for over five to six months to rehab my forearm, which I broke during a bouldering fall. Emily was a delight to work with. She's extremely knowledgeable, explaining why I had certain sensations and pains based on my body's physiology. I also found the exercises effective. I have progressed well in range of motion, strength, and pain reduction. I'm climbing and doing yoga again, in a way that seemed impossible when when started. I highly recommend Emily!“

“This place is amazing. I was having terrible sciatica and could barely walk. After just 4 sessions and at home exercises I have been pain free for over 4 months! I finally got to go backpacking with my kids. Thank you to Kristin and Alex who met with me and helped me reach my goal!!“

“I started coming to Dr Bath two weeks ago for plantar fasciitis and I have had such relief that I can say that the end of my pain is in sight! I appreciate the multiple modalities of hands on massage and chiropractic care.“

“I arrived on time and was fast. Nikki evaluated me and made me start a routine for my sore hip.she was very professional and knowledgeable 5 gold stars to her
I was shocked at how much more mobility and less pain I had after one session. And it had lasted for days“

“I LOVE StretchLab! The Albany shop has the greatest Flexologists known to man or woman!! Ina, Marie, Lucia & Danny have all helped me so much! I initially went in after Kaiser had diagnosed me with IT Band inflammation - Kaiser's solution? Phone session with a Physical Therapist & then sent some videos to watch & follow!! That was IT!

My first session at StretchLab, I had Ina - a trained PT in her home country - who was amazing . . . . .. I literally felt like skipping out of that first session. What I really like about StretchLab is that each Flexer takes notes on your session & condition on that day so when I was unable to book Ina again for awhile - she is so popular! Marie then Lucia then Danny were all able to pick up on my progress & continue the notes!

The management is so responsive & hands on . . . . .Shahria is there almost every time I come in. . . . that is very nice to see! All of the staff are such great folks & I thank the Universe daily for being able to find tham . . . . thanks Kaiser! You did me a favor!“

“Professional and friendly - these guys know what they are doing and give informative and effective care. Also a well-managed office!“

“My praise and gratitude for Janette is endless. I came to her after trying more traditional forms of PT, desperate to feel better. Within just a couple sessions, my nerve pain had significantly reduced. I credit Janette with encouraging me to visit a specialist, who then made a very critical diagnosis, solving 20 years of mystery health issues. After having so many medical professionals tell me it was all in my head, it was so relieving to have someone truly listen and take my symptoms seriously.

The 18+ months I visited Janette weekly (sometimes twice a week) were well worth the time and money, and she was instrumental in my healing after surgery. I’ve since moved out of state and if only I could have taken Janette with me! I plan to make an effort to see her whenever I am in the Bay Area. Janette is a true master of her craft and is constantly learning new techniques. She creates a safe and comfortable environment and is clearly passionate about helping people feel better physically and mentally. I can’t imagine where I would be if I hadn’t sought her out. Thank you, Janette!“

“Excellent experience all the way around. The front desk clerk understood my insurance plan and explainedbto me how it workes. That was very important to me so I had no unexpected cost. The doctor I can't say enough about him. Just absolutely amazing. Really knows his craft and comes up with wonderful after care plans. I definitely would recommend this chiropractic office.“

“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.“

“This is my second series of PT treatments at Apex, two years apart (different issues). APEX wowed me the first time, and when the doctors suggested some new PT, there was only one call to make. APEX continues to impress. A very spacious facility with a view across the bay to Marin, exceptionally clean, where all the equipment is maintained in great working order. And most importantly, a dedicated and knowledgeable staff.“

“This business is a hidden gem, and Andreea is the absolute BEST. I’ve been to all sorts of massage, body work, and physical therapy places and nothing else compares to the service here. Andreea’s wealth of knowledge is evident- she has a deep understanding of anatomy (particularly in women) and utilizes a range of modalities in each session. Often times I have come in with muscle pain but left feeling like my tightness was finally able to relax. I could say great things about this business all day! Highly recommend“

“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!“

“My Subaru Outback looks so great after my accident! They really care about your vehicle“

“I have been seeing Dr. Rabbetez for almost 20 years now. I don't know what I'd do without him. He has been instrumental in my chronic pain management. He is not just a highly skilled and intuitive provider, he is also a very kind and empathetic person. I wish I could give him 10 stars.“

“On the very strong recommendation of another PT who had moved out of the area, I went to see Steve Ryan for reverse total shoulder replacement post-op physical therapy. Steve is simply the best, most knowledgeable, competent, straightforward, compassionate, patient and organized physical therapist I have ever worked with. The written instructions and (excellent) videos for the prescribed PT exercises are available the day of or 1 day after your appointment. He is very organized and prompt so appointments are always on time. I am 79 years old and very active for my age. Steve guided me through a major glitch in my surgical recovery and I am now fully back to all my physical activities. I'm sure I couldn't have done this without his professional mentorship. Strongly and without hesitation thank and recommend Dr. Stephen Ryan for physical therapy.“

“I can't thank Diane enough for the incredible craniosacral therapy session. After experiencing a recent traumatic attack, my body was holding onto so much tension and distress. Diane worked her magic with such care, skill, and deep intuition—I could feel my body finally starting to release and process what it had been through. Her presence is grounding, her technique is gentle yet powerful, and I left feeling lighter, calmer, and more in tune with myself. If you're seeking true healing, I highly recommend her. Thank you, Diane!“

“Maggie is wonderful. Her myofascial therapy is very different, and so much more impactful, than a typical "massage." She's given me so many great tips and exercises. She's a true champion of foam rollers and her guidance has really improved my physical well being. No matter what's going on in my life, her easygoing, warm, and patient presence makes each appointment such a pleasure. I recommend signing up for her online videos and attending her rolling classes in person or remotely.“
