I am an avid runner who attended over 10 sessions of PT with Dr. Lin at The Technique to address a…read morechronic foot tendinopathy, which was preventing me from running. I hate to be the first reviewer leaving less than 5 stars, but given that PT is a major investment, I felt I should be honest about what worked and what didn't work for me during my treatment. What worked: -Dr. Lin has excellent bedside manner and generally makes his patients feel at ease during treatment. I can tell he is also a well-trained massage therapist with expertise in various techniques. -Dr. Lin takes a holistic approach, isolating not just the symptom but root causes that may stem from various parts of the body. -The practice was well administered and Dr. Lin's assistant Milly is fantastic. What didn't work: -The holistic approach felt like a double-edged sword, as it caused my treatment plan to lose focus. At its peak, my plan had over 20 PT exercises. When I expressed to Dr. Lin that this felt unmanageable, he suggested alternating 10 each day. But this still felt unwieldy and I couldn't do all of them while really focusing on form and progression. I later switched to a PT with a different approach, identifying a highly specific biomechanical chain of events that contributed to my condition. He prescribed just ~3-5 exercises a week with a keen attention to detail. Ultimately this led to a much better outcome for me and I'm now back to running at pre-injury levels. Of course, for other conditions, Dr. Lin's approach may work better than it did for me. -I felt that, at times, my feedback wasn't fully considered. After about 8 sessions with Dr. Lin, my condition re-flared and it was bad enough that it was inhibiting my sleep multiple nights a week (to be clear, this was unrelated to our work together and unfortunately is just a part of my injury). When I expressed concern about my progress at that point with the hope of adjusting my program, Dr. Lin focused his explanation largely on anxiety, leaving me feeling that my concern itself was unaddressed. Also, after about 10 sessions, I noticed that his massage approach felt too aggressive for my injury and wasn't really helping, rather it led to more next-day soreness. When I expressed this, he did reduce the massage intensity that particular session but unfortunately returned to the previous intensity the next session.

Rob Lin is an exceptional physical therapist. Rob and his entire team are patient and welcoming,…read moreand 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. -Raya (she/they)

After an intro call where Nick explained the format and gym (flexible session plans, private gym, validated parking), he matched me with Ada as a trainer. Ada has been a blast to work with. It's been a few months and I've been making great progress feeling stronger and more in tune with my body. She's very attentive and really listens to your goals and desires (strength and coordination for myself) in creating a program for you, and she made me feel totally comfortable and supported when I told her I had no idea what I was doing. I feel much more confident with her showing me the fundamentals, as well as how I should adjust to correct errors in my form to keep me from getting injured. She is a perfect mix of fun and encouraging such that I'm always looking forward to my session each week!

Every session feels intentional and personalized, not rushed or repetitive. Most importantly, I can genuinely see and feel progress. I'm stronger, more confident, and finally on a clear, sustainable path toward meeting my fitness goals. If you're looking for a trainer who's supportive, knowledgeable, and truly invested in your success, Ada is the one. Highly recommend!

Matt has been training me multiple times a week for half a year, and I'll continue to train with him indefinitely. He's very responsive to my preferences (upper body vs lower body, specific muscle groups, hitting measurable personal goals). He pays a lot of attention to my form so I have had consistently injury-free sessions (critical for me with my upper back/neck issues), and has brought me a huge distance in terms of my muscle tone, body shape and overall fitness. He communicates well and has a great attitude: engaging, never judgmental and always supportive. He's also versed in dietary issues relevant to weight loss and fitness, and has been working on a weight-loss and toning program with a close friend of mine. I can't recommend him highly enough.
