I can't recommend Kathy enough! After tearing my Achilles at the end of last year, I was honestly unsure how smooth or long my recovery would be. From day one, Kathy was incredibly professional and took the time to clearly explain every step of the process, which gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind. Over the course of a little more than four months, she helped me rebuild my strength and muscle step by step. Her treatments were outstanding, and she always went above and beyond to answer my questions in detail. She also provided great tips and exercises I could do at home, which made a huge difference in my progress. Beyond her expertise, Kathy is simply a very kind and supportive person. I genuinely looked forward to every session--it was always a positive experience. Thanks to her guidance, I made such strong progress that about five months after my Achilles tear, I was able to start running again. I'm incredibly grateful for all her help and highly recommend her to anyone in need of physical therapy! read more

I came to Kathy with a goal of getting back into running, which had been limited by a bad case of tendinitis. Each session was tailored to my recovery needs and long-term goals. I quickly regained my strength, and once I was given the green light to run again, I began training for a half marathon. With her help, I went from struggling to walk up and down stairs to finishing my half marathon at a sub-8-minute-mile pace. If you're in the South Bay and looking for a PT, I can't recommend Kathy Fox PT enough! read more

I am so grateful to have found Kathy. She is thorough, experienced & her expertise is matched with exceptional care. She's been helping with me with a hip issue, which has decreased my pain, and has steered me in the appropriate direction for optimal relief. read more

She started out, seemingly as a great physical therapist, however, very quickly descended into creepiness. She definitely crossed boundaries. She questioned my doctors orders and proceeded to treat me as she thought appropriate even though it was contrary to what my doctors prescribed. I would not recommend her. read more

I highly recommend Kathy! As someone who does a lot of active activities, I am injured quite often and have been to a lot of physical therapists and Kathy is one of the best! First of all, as a sole proprietor, Kathy doesn't overbook her appointments and literally schedules a FULL HOUR with everyone. No assistants doing work on you half the time or having you do exercises on your own while she sees someone else, she's literally present and with you the entire time. Secondly, Kathy is really great at listening and tailoring a plan to give you what you need. For myself, my injured shoulder was particularly aggravated from playing volleyball/surfing so Kathy put me on a plan that started with easy motions and gradually ramped up. While all PT's will give you some sort of workout plan, instead of watching me do the simple exercises that I could do at home Kathy spent the extra time doing manual work on my shoulder and adjacent back muscles which really made a big difference. Lastly, Kathy's home clinic is very serene and peaceful, with super easy parking which really makes a big difference. read more

Kathy is an incredible Physical Therapist. I found Kathy through my insurance portal and I genuinely feel as if I won the lottery. Her approach to physical therapy is thoughtful, kind, and extremely effective. In the year I've been seeing Kathy, she's helped me work through a multitude of different injuries and issues while simultaneously providing guidance that has helped me improve nearly every aspect of my personal fitness. Thanks to Kathy, everything I do in the gym is more well-rounded, safe, and productive. In addition to her successful treatments, her office is comfortable and her demeanor is extremely supportive. I would recommend Kathy to anyone dealing with pain or looking to become stronger their daily physical activities. read more

I've worked with a large number of physical therapists. Kathy's approach is different, in a good way. The clinic is inside her home so there's no medical feel to the environment. More importantly, Kathy is flexible, compassionate and empathetic in her approach. I have a longstanding issue, and Kathy is patient, checks in when I arrive and then adapts her program based on how I'm feeling. She incorporates a mind-body approach to recovery more than most PTs, supplementing the workout routine with music, affirmations, guided imagery and focused breathing exercises. For some, this approach may be a bit "out there" but for me, it's been most helpful. Kathy is 100% willing to meet you where you're at and is accepting, so you are free to go at your own pace. Sessions are an hour long so I don't feel rushed. Kathy accepts some insurance, including my P.P.O., so that's a big plus. The only drawback, for some, is that you must be able to climb stairs because the treatment rooms are on the 2nd floor. If you've felt frustrated or stuck in your recovery with other providers, I suggest you check Kathy out and try a fresh perspective. read more

Kathy is really in a league of her own as a physical therapist and her experience and knowledge really shows in the quality of care. She uses all types of body work to relieve your pain and work through old injuries while teaching you how to strengthen your body in a safe way to prevent getting injured again in the future. She creates a safe space full of positivity and healing that is so important for people working through long term injuries and chronic pain. After working with Kathy I am much stronger both physically and mentally. She knows absolutely everything about the how the body works and will ease your pain while giving you the tools you need to keep yourself strong and healthy. read more

Kathy Fox is an AMAZING physical therapist. During our first visit she gave me strategies to deal with my pain that helped quicker and more effectively than any other physical therapy protocol I ever had tried. I believe she is an intuitive healer - listening to the patient and knowing just what is needed. By her being very flexible with her approach and calm - she eases the mind of her patients which allows for healing. Kathy F. has instructed me on how to use guided imagery and also other pain management techniques to help my mental state assist with the healing of my physical ailments. She has changed my internal narrative. I was so accustomed to thinking I was "stupid"for getting injured ( I have a chronic issues that crops up from time to time. But she transitioned my thoughts to knowing that the majority of injuries are temporary and there are steps to get through the acute issues and to strengthen to prevent future occurrences. Kathy F. is also very thoughtful as she gives out positive messaging slips (like fortune cookies) to end your session with a mental "take-away". She goes the "extra mile" with her patient care, including accepting many different insurances. Truly, not all super heroes wear capes. Some of them are physical therapists equipped with tools and skills that make a huge difference in the lives of many. Thank you Kathy! read more

I've been so lucky to have found Kathy! Kathy is a consummate pro and her experience really shines through in her extensive knowledge of her field and evident passion for helping to heal. In addition to the expert physical therapy work on my injuries, she also dedicates much appreciated time to assess my overall well-being both physically and emotionally. This stands out in her guided imagery massages that are magical! With the option of audio specific themes or tailored sessions specifically by her, the ability to connect massage (and recovery) to inner work and healing has been an unexpected bonus to my work with Kathy. I highly recommend making an appointment with Kathy for those with physical therapy needs but also for her independent offerings of the guided massages - your mind and body will thank you! read more

My wife and I have gone to Kathy for many years and have found her to be a caring, informed, gifted physical therapist, and speaking for myself, I have gone to others as well and wouldn't describe any of them as "gifted." Go see her; you won't be sorry. read more

My experience is with a 1/2 dozen PT's before discovering Kathy, who my Ortho recommended. No comparison, the PT clinics seemed to shuffle me through quickly and never really fixed anything. Having golfer's elbow, prior PT's had me doing some movements to strengthen the opposing muscles and then instructed me to hold some ice on the elbow. I can ice at home, don't need to be doing so during PT. By comparison Kathy educated me on the muscle imbalance, gave me some stretches and strength training exercises plus along with direct massage and a muscle stimulation machine, and other therapy, my multi years long battle with golfers elbow (which included Cortizone shots) was resolved in about 10 to 12 weeks. I have now seen her intermittently over the last 12 years, as other issues arise such as knees and lower back, and her approach has been a tremendous benefit to my overall health and athletic performance. You won't get this from your Orthopedic surgeon, or GP, and I never found a PT that came close. So if you are serious about rehab, and are willing to put in the time doing the necessary exercises she assigns, her PT work is truly life changing. read more

Kathy is a terrific physical therapist and human being. She worked very hard to help me with my issues and provided me with tools and information to assist me on my journey to heal. Thank you Kathy. -Judi Norman read more

My experience with Kathy was awesome. I was suffering from a sharp pain underneath my right shoulder blade. It had been bothering me for over six months. My mother had had great experiences working with her during her knee surgery recovery so I decided to test her expertise with the shoulder joint. It only took two sessions to completely eliminate the pain. She used many unique techniques to loosen up my shoulder joint. After finishing my shoulder treatment, the pain has never come back and to this day feels well oiled. She showed me awesome stretches that has enabled me to loosen up other tight joints as well. I highly recommend Kathy to all of my personal and professional aquaintences. Eddie read more

Kathy Fox... Truly a great Physical Therapist. I was having issues with my knee, started with a MCL sprain that then took a turn into a nervous system issue. I was unable to bend my knee in complete for over a year with much pain involved. After endless dead ends in seeking treatment. Finally I found Kathy. She Is honest,patience,and wise beyond words. Bottom line she knows her stuff. I will continue to refer her. Thank you so much Kathy. Your heaven sent read more

Kathy is a born healer! I knew I was injured, but I felt the chronic pain was disproportionate to the issue. For about 13 years I'd been in and out of PT, which would help... for a little while. I was a bit skeptical at first when she told me there were probably elements and tiny things I was doing in my everyday life to exacerbate the problem; things I didn't think were relevant. She really listens. I feel like Kathy employs a certain kind of wisdom and compassion, on top of knowing her stuff. I love that she'll pull out an anatomy book and explain all these little muscles I didn't know about. The short workouts she's given me have been very easy to make into a daily routine with no fuss. Instead of the usual dreary clinic/gym, her home is calm, airy, colorful and welcoming. I really do get the feeling I'm being taken care of in that setting, so I'm less stubborn than usual! I thought I'd feel crummy every day for the rest of my life, but Kathy has taught me how to manage it and I now (only sometimes) have a mere *fraction* of the pain I've lived with for so long. Give her a call! read more

Kathy is wonderful - both as a physical therapist and as a person. I came to her with the neck pain and she was able to heal me. Also she showed me the exercises for both the neck and the knees (had some week muscles there) that I'm still doing. Truly grateful! read more

I was so grateful to find a therapist that not only understood how to repair my shoulder but also practiced holistic body care. Kathy gave me many life tools to be in power of physical/mental change. With her simple techniques, my shoulder injury of 3 years was pain free in 3 week! I also see her as a guided meditation coach, helping to heal other life struggles. She has a wonderful combination of scientific knowledge and deep compassion to heal. read more

Kathy has helped me through two injuries (post foot surgery and more recently, shoulder pain) with the most excellent results! She uses a holistic approach and is supportive, encouraging and deeply knowledgeable about body systems and the healing process. She brings a calm, positive and spiritual energy to her practice. I'm so grateful to have found her. read more

Kathy is incredibly powerful when it comes to healing. I went to Kathy with a fractured pelvis, severe bone bruising on my knees, and back pain from an accident that I was in. When I first began to see her, she told me to tell myself every morning: "every day in every way, I am getting better and better" This phrase got me though the tough time of having been in an accident with such severe injuries. Her massage therapy has been extremely helpful. Along with massage therapy, she uses electrical stimulation therapy and ultra sound therapy for my injuries. I find all of these methods productive in the healing process. Along with exercises and stretches to practice at home, daily, that would strengthen my muscles around the injuries. With her help, I have been able to let my body heal and have slowly been able to get back to normal functioning. Her spirit and healing energy is felt during every visit. Each time I would see her, I would not only feel better physically, but also mentally. Every day, in every way, I was truly able to get better and better thanks to Kathy's help. read more

I've been seeing Kathy for about a year now. Once my hip issue was resolved (after only 3 months), I began seeing her for my longer term chronic neck pain. I always feel worlds better after our appointments, not just from the treatment but also from her positive energy and great life tips. She is flexible and always around to answer any questions or provide any advice outside of the appointments. Highly recommend! read more

Without Kathy i wouldnt be able to run or bike or anything. She has put me back together so many times over the years after many surgeries. She gives each client 100% hands on work for the entire hour every single visit. She has consistently figured out my diagnosis when Drs didnt know what was wrong. I have never found any other PT that provides such incredible knowledge in such a peaceful, comfortable, sunny environment. Despite my body wearing out on me as im getting older, and pushing it to its max, she helped heal and strengthen me to still be as active as i can for many more years. She has also been there to advise me when she isnt working, in times when i was inured and needed guidance. She is also a genuinely lovely person whom i really enjoy being around. Thank you so much for your expertise! read more

Dr. Fox is an amazing physical therapist. She operates her business out of her house and it provides her with the opportunity to see her patients for a full hour of therapy, while avoiding the waiting rooms and beuracracy of most hospitals. She helped me correct my issue (neck pain) and provided me with stretches, information, and workouts to avoid any chance of injury reoccurrence. Highly recommended! read more

Kathy Fox is the best ever physical therapist!!! I have seen her many years off and on for various sports injuries. She has been instrumental in keeping me in my active life style. I have referred many friends to her and they all have wonderful things to say. Nancy read more

Kathy is a truly gifted physical therapist. She is not only superb in her diagnoses and recommended treatments, but is empathetic and personally interested in the care and well being of her clients. Kathy has been there for me to quickly remedy a debilitating back spasm, provide ongoing treatment for other occupational and exercise-related injuries, or offer recommendations for acquiring more knowledge on select websites. I am grateful for Kathy's guidance, and know my muscles and joints are in good hands with her treatments. read more

I feel so fortunate to have found Kathy! She is incredibly knowledgeable in her field and takes great personal interest in her patients. After a recommendation from my doctor for physical therapy for a sports related knee injury, I began seeing Kathy a few times a week. She was able to pinpoint exactly what was going on. Her targeted therapy technique, recommended modifications and prescribed home exercises allowed me to continue with my workouts throughout the therapy/healing process. My knee injury contributed to some hip and back issues which she also addressed and treated. I am finally back to my normal workout routine and pain free thanks to Kathy! I can't recommend her highly enough! read more

I can't express my gratitude enough for the complete restoration of my shoulder, while working with Kathy. She not only restored me back to 100%, she also took the time to show me the correct stretches and exercises in order to avoid future injuries. I also think it's worth noting the calm, relaxing atmosphere Kathy provides. It is apparent that she truly loves what she does and enjoys her time with her patients. It was a pleasure seeing Dr. Kathy Fox over the past few months and I would highly recommend her for any physical therapy needs! read more

I don't often write reviews but I thought I would since I have had such a wonderful experience with Kathy Fox. I have been seeing her for about 6 months for neck and back pain as well as my ankle (which is fully recovered now). She is on time, super caring and is a true expert in her field. I would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

Kathy Fox is an excellent physical therapist. I came to her for treatment of neck pain, and got so much more. With Kathy's guidance, I've come to see how the choices I make every day play a huge part in my recovery and overall feeling of well-being. She makes her treatment room a calm and relaxing place -- unlike the busy, chatty, multiple-therapist atmosphere I experienced during a very brief trial run with another local therapist. My entire exercise routine (I was a long-time gym member) changed for the better, once Kathy introduced me to the movements that would help build strength and flexibility, not just in my neck but my back as well. Even my posture improved under Kathy's care (no more rounded shoulders!) -- another nice bonus I didn't expect before starting treatment with her. As if that weren't enough, she's also a genuinely kind and caring professional who clearly loves her work. read more
