Physical Therapy near San Ramon

“In a world where things are becoming increasingly impersonal, I can't express how refreshing it was to visit Dr. Bateman.

James runs his own practice, provides personalized attention, and is incredibly knowledgeable. I went in for some balance-related issues, and he was extremely helpful in resolving them. James also takes into account how anxiety and other social factors can contribute to symptoms, which made me feel even more understood and cared for. He takes his time during appointments, and I truly appreciate his thorough and thoughtful approach.

Highly recommend!“

“Although I am a Kaiser patient, they do not have enough pelvic floor physical therapists, so when I asked for physical therapy to help with stress incontinence (no, Kegels weren't the solution for me), they referred me to PHRC. I was able to get in for my first appointment quickly thanks to the friendly office staff. Melinda Fontaine, PT, DPT, was my assigned therapist and I cannot say enough how thankful I am for that. She is warm and open and so very knowledgeable in her specialty. I felt immediately at ease and was able to share with her my symptoms and what I hoped to achieve with therapy. She listened intently and without judgement, asked questions, performed a physical exam, and then set up a treatment plan for me. After demonstrating each exercise, she would then watch me perform them until she was confident I knew how to do them correctly. At each appointment after, she again would ask questions and make adjustments as necessary. I noticed improvement in my symptoms by my second appointment! I have been very vocal in telling my friends, family, colleagues - anyone who I think may benefit - how wonderful Melinda is and about the good and necessary work that is being done at PHRC. And now I'm telling you.“

“The entire team at Rise PT are awesome! They provide excellent patient care and will always make you feel welcome. I have noticed big improvement since starting here.“

“Don, and the team, are the best. Over the years Don has helped me with my rolled ankle (with significant tear in the ligament), my tennis elbow, and most recently with my aching knees. After couple of months of therapy it feels like I got another twenty years for my active lifestyle skiing, sailing and playing tennis on pretty high level for an older guy. Thanks!?“

“I rarely write online reviews, but I felt the need to write this review. In June I had an episode where I went to visit a Chiropractor for an acid reflux issue (foolish of me) for just a consultation and the lady who was a substitute literally broke my back, in the name of just examining. I was in so much pain in my lower back, thighs and gluteal muscles that I could barely walk. My doctor suggested I go to physical therapy, after two unsuccessful attempts, I came across Shalaka's website and called her immediately. My first session, I saw relief, by 5th session I was walking pain free. She used ultrasound therapy that started healing my tightened muscles in the pelvic and gluteal area. Shalaka was patient and listened to my concerns, the main thing she pointed out was how I was still in shock and trauma from that event and discussed in great detail how I have to overcome it. She used manual therapy to ease my muscles too and that really helped me. I am glad I found her and I highly recommend her to women who have pelvic issues, issues with tailbone, gluteal muscles, as well as lower back and back issues.“

“I dislocated patella (kneecap) and I could not walk without dislocating it, Philip massaged my knee and leg everyday for a week and I can walk on it. Such fast results in such little time. The massages were long and very deep but it has helped me truly recover from this injury.“

“Service excellent quick recovery mentally and physically . Introduced to pickleball paddle FitLab solutions . Love this paddle“

“I would never claim that any physical therapist is a miracle worker, but Kevin is basically that. Kevin has been able to work with my pain in a way that no doctor or physical therapist has ever even come close to. With unexplained and excruciating pain for the majority of my life, I only got diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few years ago. Prior to my diagnosis, I had been to 10 or 15 different physical therapists over my lifetime, desperate to find any fix for the debilitating pain I was always in. I could barely walk and it was hard to sleep because of the nerve pain. Most physical therapists didn't know what to do with me. They did not understand why I was so sensitive to sensations and why I was in so much pain when I seemed to be in good health. Doctors and physical therapists have always been unwilling to put in the effort to find something that actually helps me. Well, Kevin is the outlier. He looks at the body holistically and encourages you to tell him your story from your point of view. Though knowing my diagnosis has been helpful to Kevin, I know that even if he wasn't aware of it, he would still be a valuable practitioner for me and know how to address it. He is knowledgeable and sympathetic about the issues, And gives me the right information to be able to work with my pain. Nobody understands fibromyalgia syndrome like Kevin does. He has seen it all in the world of pain and pain management, and he himself has suffered from chronic pain as well. So he has experience and ability to empathize that most doctors and physical therapists cannot even begin to get. I know he's worked with a large variety of clients who all have one thing in common: they have some difficult-to-treat pain. He can work with people experiencing pain after surgery, fibromyalgia, cancer pain, sciatica, musculoskeletal issues, or something smaller like a tweaked muscle. If you have it, he has probably seen it, and he can empathize with you. He meets you where you are, and gives you tools to help you succeed in your own healing journey. Working with Kevin is literally the only thing that has ever helped me. No medication or Dr. consultation with a specialist has ever brought me as far as Kevin has. If you are a person struggling with pain of any kind in your life I strongly recommend Kevin to you. I want to end this review by stressing again, that he is literally the only person who has ever helped me, and I have probably spent tens of thousands of dollars on specialists in my lifetime. Yes Kevin's service is pricey, but that's because it's uniquely tailored for your pain experience.“

“I had a mountain bike accident years ago, and believed chiropractic care was the best course for my physical health despite still suffering from regular pain. Thankfully, my chiropractor referred me to Clayton Francis for an evaluation to see if Clayton could help me. I've been seeing Clayton now for almost three years and feel better than I have in many years. He explained to me why I still had the pain from the bike accident, and gave me exercises to help develop the surrounding muscles. Clayton explained to me why my back hurt (I was wearing bad shoes), he showed me how to take care of my feet so exercise would be more beneficial, and he's taught me many more things that are invaluable. When I first saw Clayton 3 years ago, I was severely stressed (loss of job, death of a parent after years of caregiving) and in a great deal of pain just about everywhere. At that point, I needed to see him weekly or every other week to get stabilized. Now, I only see him once a month. If you need help finding out how a mystery pain originated, and how to fix it, see Clayton. If you have chronic pain from an old injury like me, go see Clayton. He's truly a magician!“

“I've been a patient of Dr. Bell's for many years. He has only recommended surgery one time and it was a minor procedure. Apart from that, he suggests PT or ice/heat and rest. He has treated my husband for various knee issues and he never suggested surgery. A friend had a shoulder fixed by Dr. Bell and she is quite happy. IMO, a good surgeon is one who thinks of surgery as a last resort. He's friendly, approachable, relatable and an excellent diagnostician. The staff has always been very compassionate and warm. IThey are so helpful and kind. When my shoulder became a daily problem I didn't think twice before calling Dr. Bell. Dr. Bell is the real deal. He is friendly and sincere and just wants to see his patients thrive.“

“I definitely recommend having cupping done with Leah. My range of motion after the treatment increased significantly. Thank you“

“Most comprehensive, knowledgeable, professional, effective, and pleasant physical therapist I have ever worked with.“

“I went in with intense pain in my right leg and hip, unable to walk or even put on my shoes without severe discomfort. Dr. El-Shimey took the time and showed genuine care in addressing my issue. He even cracked my foot which i never experienced before. Thank you so much, Dr. El-Shimey!“

“Derick was a pro at his profession! He has great knowledge of sources of issues in the tissues, and addresses them effectively!“

“My classmate from Chiropractic school has moved to Idaho. We have been adjusting each other for the past 20 years +
I had to find someone local with Gonstead technique. As a Chiropractor with 25.years experience I can tell you that Dr. Nassab the best there is. He is fast, precise and delivers the results. It is like finding 10 pounds gold nugget while looking for gold.“

“My father who had been seeing Stacey Kegg for physical therapy hawked me to leave this 5 star review. She listens to his concerns and has been incredibly helpful with his pain management.“

“This facility went through good changes and had great improvements. I recommend this facility. It was a pleasure to partner up with Antisha.Thank you for her help.“

“I had cartilage damage in my knee that wasn't improving with rest, so my doctor prescribed me PT. Going to CFSM made a huge difference in my ability to get around and my general enjoyment of life and the outdoors. My PT Ernie knew exactly how to get me back on track with exercises (both at their facility and at home), deep tissue work, and confidence building. He knows his stuff and makes sure you're doing each exercise with proper form to get the most out of them. I recently returned to running pain free and never required surgery. Strong recommendation for active people with sports injuries.“

“Everyone was super friendly and professional. However, the wait times were way too long.“
