The staff are amazing and all so helpful. I'm trying to put off knee surgery and Susana has been the most helpful therapist I know. She listens well and explains what she's trying to do to help heal my knee. She has a huge amount of knowledge and so does all of the aides who are also extremely helpful. I love using the Pilates equipment there too, I feel it adds strength without being weight bearing. I will definitely use this clinic for any future needs. read more

Been to the East Sacramento office three times now. Each time working with Billy Martinez. I am an old guy who has experienced the need for physical therapy a number of times over the years. Normally go to the Sutter Physical Therapy on Alhambra and L. And they are good, but just too long of wait for appointments these days. My doctor set me up with this PT shop based on where I lived and his belief in them. And am glad he did. My experience here has been wonderful. Billy is just great and certainly has my shoulder on the road to recovery. He explains what we are doing, and why. The game plan he has built makes tons of sense. Apparently they have had this office here pushing 20 years if I understood right. Never knew it exited as it is set well back in a small shopping complex. So glad it was recommended to me. Just top notch. read more

I've been to an estimated 15 to 20 different physical therapists over the many years of my life and Billy Martinez has been the best. He's the PT guru, and is very smart and experienced. If you're motivated to do the work, he will guide you to better health. He's not greedy like so many of the PT businesses and will only provide the services that you actually need and nothing more. Thanks, Billy, I appreciate you! read more

Everyone at this clinic is amazing! They're so kind and welcoming. From the moment you walk in, they're accommodating, especially when you are using DME and can't stand for long periods. The front desk staff are always welcoming you by name and pleasant, can keep your card on file to make check out very brief and smooth. My therapist Eve (also one of the owners) was excellent in helping me rehab after multiple unilateral hip surgeries and really was integral to my recovery. I always felt cared for and listened to and that we collaborated on my care. I am now back for the contralateral hip and so grateful to be in a place that I feel cared for as a holistic patient. They also have many PT or pre-PT students in the gym, which is a great learning environment. read more

I am almost 4 months post hip replacement and have had a wonderful experience with Alves & Martinez, specifically working with Yesenia. My therapy focused on just enough push each session to get you over the next hurdle and Yesenia was supportive of my specific needs wrt activities I was missing during recovery. The office staff is efficient and friendly. The facility is clean, quiet, and comfortable. Cannot recommend more highly. read more

This is a hidden gem that I wish I could keep a secret to myself! After trying several physical therapists throughout the Sacramento area and being severely disappointed, I found Billy Martinez at Alves and Martinez. I wish more doctors would refer their patients to Billy. He does one on one treatment which is a rare in physical therapy these days. Most physical therapy places you just work with an assistant -- not this place! Furthermore, Billy really tries to be cognizant and sensitive to cost for his patients, which is rare among medical providers in general. The clinic hours are flexible and they try really hard to work with your insurance. Billy has helped my pain in a very complicated case. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! read more

Exceptional attention - from Christopher at the front desk to James (McAfee) who was my physical therapist. I have had physical therapy at several different offices. For me, this was the best and most successful treatment I have ever received. I came to the Sacramento office of Alves and Martinez because of hip pain that I had tried already to relieve with stretching, acupuncture, and light workouts at the gym. James was very knowledgable and skilled in accessing my body and how I use it. He taught me how to self correct my posture, and pay attention to my body as I go through the day to see what hurt or helped. By asking me questions and being attentive to what I noticed, he gave me a great "library" of exercises to work with. We started with just a few to help alleviate the pain and try to pin point what was going on. As we worked in a few more of those and discovered what worked, we started on strengthening exercises. Every time we met, James started with questions about what I noticed and how i was functioning. Because of his comprehensive treatment and willingness to answer my questions so I better understood what we were doing, I have been able to move forward from daily pain to working out again. The entire office seems very positive, efficient and caring. Christopher was the smiling face that greeted me at every appointment. I actually enjoyed physical therapy! read more

I was referred to Alves & Martinez, specifically Billy, by a good friend over 10 years ago. I have seen Billy for a variety of running and non-running related issues over these 10-plus years. Currently, my latest injury is difficult to work through and as a result, I have been in for treatment weekly this year. As a long-time client, and one who brings her children in for their sport related issues, I feel we have always received quality 1:1 care and treatment. At the end of each session, I feel we leave with clear instructions of next steps or at least a recap of the long-term vision. This is not a hard-sell place - it doesn't need to be. It is personal, professional, and works specifically with you to get you back in 'game day shape'. read more

This review is for PT with Eve Martinez. I have had Pilates PT at other studios with amazing results. Unfortunately I was not able to replicate a positive Pilates experience at Alves & Martinez. I saw Eve eight times for Pilates PT. My appointments were 30 minutes in duration but seldom did Eve actually ever see me during what was my scheduled appointment. Of the eight times I visited Alves & Martinez I literally spent more time waiting for my turn than actual time spent doing PT. On my 5th visit to Alves & Martinez I waited for 55 minutes for my 30 minute appointment. I should have walked out forever then but I went back three more times for more inconsiderate treatment. My eighth visit was my breaking point. Eve was only 25 minutes late this time. She gave me some breathing exercises to do and then abandoned me during my appointment for 10 minutes so she could work on another patient in one of the exam rooms. After she returned she gave me another breathing exercise to do and abandoned me for an additional 15 minutes. After being at Alves & Martinez that day for an hour and only receiving 10 minutes of instruction I got up and left. However Eve had no idea I had left because she was closed up in a room with another patient. Perhaps PT with other therapists at Alves & Martinez is a positive experience. But I would steer clear of Eve if you want to be treated like you matter. read more

Billie Martinez and his talented staff under his guidance and PT plan rescued my right shoulder, triple+ muscle tear repair-reattachment, with recovery of my tennis game better than ever, awesome team, great place to plan your recovery! read more

I am wrapping up four months of PT following partial knee replacement (Makoplasty). Despite my doctor's offer for PT at his practice, I knew I wanted to work w/ Alves & Martinez as I had previously had a very positive experience (txu Eve). This time I had the opportunity to work with Ursula who I found to be incredibly capable, professional, encouraging and effective. Ursula pushed (encouraged) me when I needed it and was exceptional at explaining the 'why and how' behind and benefits of each movement/exercise I needed to tackle. She helped me become much more aware of what my new knee is capable of and what I need to do to make it last for multiple decades (fingers crossed). Additionally, the practice is well equipped and office staff is efficient and friendly. It's clear they work well as a team. I highly recommend Alves and Martinez PT! read more

Eve and Billy are highly skilled and consummate professionals. They have treated our family for various sports and related injuries, and always approach the experience with a calm and efficient manner through the process of diagnosis, treatment and recovery. I trust them implicitly. Their office is conveniently located, clean and bright. Their staff is friendly and appointments are easy to schedule. read more

I am rehabbing a knee replacement. The care I am receiving is personalized, high quality, and utterly professional. Billy and his staff are compassionate about their trade; their knowledge and experience are unparalleled in the Sacramento area. I HIGHLY recommend Alves and Martinez whether you're a young athlete overcoming a sports injury or an older patient like me coming back from orthopedic surgery. read more

After a bad experience at another physical therapist I have been thrilled with the help I've received from Eve Martinez at Alves & Martinez PT after a major neck injury. Instead of just providing the "typical" treatments (whether they work or not) she is laser focused on getting specific feedback to make sure the treatments are truly working. As she oversees my exercises she points out specifics that make the movements so much more precise, beneficial, and using good form. Not only do I have full mobility back but she takes the time to help me set up a plan to keep myself well. I've recommended the office to others and they have been very happy too. In my opinion they truly take care of the whole person and set you up for a healthier future. read more

TITLE: BILLY AND THE MISFITS Alves and Martinez is owned by Jeff Alves who runs the Elk Grove office, and Billy Martinez who runs the Sacramento office. This review is for the Sacramento office. I have been treated for the past 5 months by Billy Martinez while recovering from a knee replacement. Martinez is an average therapist, who at times exhibits a pleasant personality. Unfortunately Martinez does not run an efficient office, as Alves does in Elk Grove. Martinez is about a 3 star therapist, who has an office staff equal to about 1 star. He employs 2 Elk Grove office rejects, in Bianca who has poor communication skills, and a therapist named Ursula who is obnoxious, and exhibits limited social skills. To make matters even worse, Martinez recently hired a clueless office manager, who wears a sock hat on his head for a fashion statement. Unfortunately this office is a simple case of the tail (office staff) wagging the dog (owner). I would strongly advise any middle age, or senior citizens to look for another therapist in the area for rehabilitation services. Larry C. read more

Great physical therapy office combined with Pilates. I have used their office in Elk Grove for physical therapy with successful rehabiliation after foot and rotator cuff surgeries. The office on 57th is great as they offer Pilates on the reformer in addition to conventional PT. My reformer sessions with Eve Martinez have been helpful to exercise again without fear of injury after my rotator cuff repair last year. In addition they also offer Pilates Mat classes on tuesday evenings and sat am. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more
