The first orthopedic surgeon wanted to operate immediately without ever mentioning physical therapy. A huge red flag! So I got a second opinion and that Dr suggested PT. After vetting half a dozen physical therapists, I felt so fortunate to have landed on The Knee Joint. Danielle put together an exercise program to stabilize and strengthen my knee. I have emerged from a hobbling, limping-in-pain, never- dancing-again sad person, to a walking-hiking-biking and flying-up stairs-with-no-pain-happy person doing the jig! I have to admit I was a bit skeptical, but after sticking to her program for 7-8 weeks, I was pain-free. I know I need to adhere to her exercise program on my own, to maintain. Danielle really knows her stuff, and I can't thank her enough for saving me from going under the knife. Thanks Danielle!

Danielle is fantastic. The Knee Joint provides top quality PT that helped me go from regular pain…read moreto full pain-free mobility with an active lifestyle. I had a fractured patella, and a fused ankle, and was sure I just wasn't going to be able to move like I did before surgery. Not only am I able to do all the activities (squatting, lifting, hiking, motorcycling, etc) but I now do them BETTER than I did before thanks to some very specific exercises and support I got from Danielle and her team at the Knee Joint. Can not recommend this place enough. Truly saved my life as I know it.

Dr. Weinstock is firm but fair in Comprehensive Family Evaluations (CFE). His primary concern and…read morefocus is on the children. He maintains objectivity in a highly emotional situation and helps sort through trivial issues to get to the primary/root issue within the co-parenting dynamic. My advice to anyone going into a CFE is to be objective and do not give conclusions based on opinions or feelings. Answer questions directly and provide all supporting documentation and information that allows the CFE make the conclusion. Also, do not be afraid to admit fault. It is not an admission of guilt but a sign of self-awareness, which goes a long way to being a "better than average parent". This is not about you, it is about your children. I would absolutely recommend Dr. David Weinstock every time to conduct a CFE, especially for someone who is in a contentious custody dispute with someone who attempts to manipulate the system; however, I would not recommend him if this person is you.

Personal Training with Amanda at Body In Balance is one of the best treats I've ever given myself…read more Her workout sessions are creative, challenging, and fun, plus you get to look & feel better the more you indulge! The studio vibe is somewhere between 'peace & love' and 'get $**t done', which I find refreshing. If you're looking for someone to push you into becoming the best version of yourself, in a classy, judgement-free studio, then you needn't look any further. Book yourself some time with Amanda, enjoy your new life, buy me a beer later to thank me for the good advice.

I saw Allen for a persistent tennis elbow that conventional massage and even acupuncture couldn't…read morepenetrate deeply enough to heal. He helped to re-pattern my arm, shoulder, back, and elbow so I now have greater range of motion and the tension that existed for so long in my arm has now relaxed. Shaking hands feels painless now, lifting and bending does too - it's been a great success and only after 4 or 5 treatments! I would highly recommend this over chiropractic, over laser therapy, over ART (active release technique), and conventional massage. He even helped me with a random knee pain that I developed! One of the best parts was during the initial examination where he wasn't even sure he could help me until most of the way through - definitely didn't feel like a hard sell.

I contacted Tinozzi with PT referral for IT band before treatment…read more This is the response: "I wanted to reach out to you regarding your insurance benefits we have found. We are an out of network office, so all coverage we have found is based on your out of network benefits. In your Anthem plan, you have a deductible of $50.00 which after your first visit with us it has been met As you have met your deductible, Anthem will be covering 80% of chiropractic and massage services. I have started to submit to your insurance and will continue to do so as you come in for visits. There will be a copayment which we will let you know once we hear back from your insurance. I would absolutely recommend having your first chiropractic visit with us. If you need any assistance scheduling an appointment please let me know. Thank you" . We went ahead and after several visits I was presented with an additional $630 bill for treatment. They had the referral and also knew shortly after of an issue but continued treatment without acknowledging it or asking for payment. Tinozzi did all insurance paperwork. If there was an error it was Tinozzi. BTW the treament called "scraping" had no effect except keeping my leg bruised for a month.

I attribute my seamless, easy birth to Alicia. Child birth was one of my top fears and after seeing…read moreher, I became much more calm and open to the possibility of having a fearless birth. She explains the birthing process, checks your pelvic floor, and gives exercises that are invaluable to the process - all things that nurses and doctors do not touch upon or give. I also saw Alicia after giving birth and she again checked my pelvic floor and gave me exercises to do to help strengthen both my pelvic floor and abdomen. I recommend Alicia to every woman I know who is giving birth in the future - whether it's your first child or second, Alicia is someone you need to see. I will definitely be back again if I have another child.

I have seen Dr. Wood on and off for over 10 years for sciatica. I was recently diagnosed with a…read morefissure in a lumbar disc that was crowding nerve roots and creating excruciating pain that radiated from my sciatic down my hamstring. He has a number of state-of-the-art tools and myofascial release techniques, instrument-assisted soft tissue therapies, manual stretching, and fascial release methods to help relieve tightness, pain, and improve flexibility. I had been feeling pretty lost and frustrated without clear guidance or someone I could trust to steer me in the right direction for rehabbing my back and alleviating the pain. I've been going to physical therapy twice a week, and it has done nothing for me. Dr. Chappy has been a lifesaver, and I am forever grateful for his help and expertise. I highly recommend Chappy Wood. He's friendly, knowledgeable, and can have you feeling better quickly.

TLDR: If you're someone who values performance, both on a critical timeline and for the long term,…read moreVita Yee is the first person to turn to for a sports injury. If possible, reach out to her as soon as you can after an injury, because with the early days, she apparently works miracles! Longer version: I am a performing artist, and on opening night, I heard a snap in my leg: I tore the calf. The pain was intense, and worse, I had no idea what was going on, only that I couldn't get any power from that leg. It was by sheer luck that I got in touch with Vita later that night, and by the next day she was working on me. I was completely blown away by the absolute generosity with which she shares her skill. With so much kindness and care, she brought athlete-performance specificity to the physical therapy--and an understanding of dance and its concurrent demands of strength, flexibility, speed, and placement. Her knowledge of sports physiology is impressively comprehensive, and acupuncture is but one of her talents. On the first day, recognizing that this is my livelihood and that sitting around resting was not really an option, she did hands-on work to smooth the muscles, then applied kinesiology tape in a way I couldn't have figured out on my own (and neither could the internet)--the relief was instantaneous. She started me on rehabilitation exercises almost right away, taking into account exactly how the body would compensate (and how I might try to cheat the true path to recovery). For in between sessions, she taught me how to tape the leg, massage out the muscles, use compression socks, when to ice and heat, which exercises to do and how. She maintained the appropriate pace with really specific guidance, for example: Day 0: "No jumping or running, period" Day 2: "No performing that part until you can do 3 sets of 25 relevés" Day 12: "Small double leg jumps are okay, no single leg jumps yet" Just as important as the physical recovery, she helped take away the fear, which was very real. This sense of trust in both her and myself made the acupuncture as easy as going to a spa: 15 minutes of lying cozily under a heat lamp with three tiny needles, reminding the muscles how to work, and afterward feeling as satisfied as if I had been working out. Forever grateful to Vita for enabling me to be back on the stage.

I've been coming to Presidio Sport since May after a nasty knee injury and have been seeing Molly &…read moreLily both for pre-op PT and now for rehabbing post-surgery. Presidio Sport & Medicine came as a non-negotiable from my surgeon (he even messaged the owner during my initial appt to make sure they would fit me in)! This is a well oiled machine, despite always been very busy - everyone from the receptionists to the therapists and trainers are so patient oriented. Each session starts with an assessment of how you're doing and no two sessions are exactly the same. They tailor the treatment to meet you where you are on that day. The care that they provide is unmatched and I feel better informed and treated than I ever have at a PT place before. Even the trainers who walk you through your exercises are awesome and while PT is often uncomfy as you recover from an injury, they make the process that much better. I will have to give a new update once I am fully recovered, but until then you will find me very happily going to Presidio Sport 2x week :)

I've had several sessions with Nicole, who is hands down THE BEST massage therapist I have ever…read moreseen. She is incredibly skilled and responsive to what my body needs, specifically--whether it is a shoulder tweak, upper back stress, etc. She used a variety of techniques on an area until it responds/releases. I've had many massages across time, places, and people - and Nicole is clearly the most skilled, gifted and effective. So grateful I found her! Definitely seek her out. Although other professionals at Sports Massage also look wonderful from reviews I've seen, avoid Stefan. I booked a 30 minute "fix" with him, when Nicole wasn't available. He was 15 minutes late, worked for over 60 minutes haphazardly (and sometimes painfully) on areas that were not troubling me, and billed for 60 minutes (not the 30 I'd booked). The Sports Massage folks reached out to apologize and kindly provided a refund (that I did not request). Overall, this is a terrific place with mostly awesome people. Just pay attention to your booking.

This place is an absolute dream for those seeking skilled masseuses…read more I had a very warm and friendly greeting! Then, my masseuse Lein took the time to sit down and go over my needs, and discuss possibilities of why things may be feeling the way they do. She had very confident hands as if she knew my body better than I did. Although I would say for some people if they do not like deep tissue the pressure was strong but for myself I personally love that and got exactly what I asked for! She perfectly focused on exactly what we discussed getting rid of any knots in my body and worked parts of my body that I didn't know how much actually affected other parts that were needing help. Definitely some muscles that I've never experienced before that really allowed my flexibility the next day like deep in my arm pits. I certainly felt the effects both immediately after as well as the following day or two and still from being very decompressed. She was able to target and find points in my chest that ran up to my neck and shoulders that I still feel incredible from days later. I will absolutely rebook with her. I know that you asked for ratings based from 1 to 5 but I would say for Lein seems like she could be the masseuse for a professional sports team or something of that nature because she knows how to create solutions not only for problems you're having but also to avoid injuries by helping my flexibility. She mentioned that she started out in her career as a healer and that is very evident. I get massages regularly and am confident that this was the most helpful massage I've had without even knowing it at the time. Can't wait for my next visit!
