He said she has a true talent for understanding the human body and how to heal it. Based on my own experience now, I wholeheartedly agree! Zeina was able to really "see" the problems I was having and get to the root of what was causing them. Through her approach and exercise program, I have made huge improvements - more than I thought possible when I started! I've also taken both group and private Pilates classes at the studio, and the instructors are all excellent. The group classes are small enough that the instructors really pay attention to your form and make corrections as needed. Plus the whole studio has a lovely zen vibe - and beautiful natural light - that makes every visit an energizing experience. Highly recommend!

Ewa is the one of the best physical therapists I've ever come across - and the only one who's…read morereally been able to help me at all with the chronic pain issues I've got from several sources. I was a little skeptical at first because the name sounded a bit funky, but it's actually Ewa's initials (Ewa Zaborosky) - and turns out to be a great predictor, in a way, as well as a great marketing device. This was indeed "easy" rehab - as these things go. Ewa has a wealth of knowledge of different sources of physical (and balance) problems and solutions, and a kind and gentle way about her that has been hugely helpful, unlike some of the "drill sargeant" types I've seen before. She has a very lighthearted and playful sense of humor that always brightened the day. Most importantly, she actually got me restrengthened without aggravating other problems, which is really saying something - and helped me tremendously with the balance issues. The exercise portion of her work is primarily Pilates-focused, which is a marvelous system for both athletes and regular people of all ages, but she also brings in many other techniques. This is not "sports medicine" PT that looks like typical commercial gyms, and is thus much more helpful for those with issues like arthritis, along with strokes and various other nonorthopedic problems, but even injured athletes would benefit tremendously, since that system was initially developed for elite dancers. For those times when the kinks just won't work themselves out, and early in the course of therapy before physical exercise is appropriate, Ewa is exceptionally skilled in hands-on techniques, and has a marvelous articulating table that really helps keep the pressure off the bad parts and keep everything at angles that work best. She has truly got magic hands, and a range of other soft tissue modalities that together seem to just smooth away pain and stiffness. She holds a PhD in physical therapy (I hadn't even known such a thing existed!), and is always going to different continuing education classes, so you are always assured that she is up to date on the latest. Sue is also a very skilled therapist who was equally helpful in other ways, and Iona, the receptionist, and Jeff, the fitness trainer, round out the regular crew, all of whom are always just terrific and as nice as can be. They also offer private Pilates lessons and a monthly membership that allows ongoing use of the facilities once discharged from formal PT, which is quite a bargain considering how few local gyms even allow access to the Pilates equipment at all without signing up for expensive classes, which, once you know what you're doing, are just not necessary all the time.

Instead, she kept charging me for the first faulty app as well as for the second app (which also barely works). Now I'm being charged twice a month for a subscription I canceled, Sarah has stopped responding to my emails after never sending the refund, and seems to have taken down the phone number off Luna's website. So she's stolen about $100 from me and effectively disappeared. Bizarre behavior. I'm having to spend hours chatting with Apple Wallet to get my money back.

I attribute my 2 smooth vbacs to my ability to stay active during pregnancy with Luna.

I love that the workouts are flexible to your level and increase with your fitness. I'm still working out there 7m post partum! Also, the owner, Sarah is a local Marin mom. She's lovely and knowledgeable! I would recommend you check it out as a woman in any stage of womanhood as the pelvic floor focused strengthening is important not just the demands of motherhood but for life

I've had long-term shoulder problems for which my orthopedist prescribed physical therapy, in lieu…read moreof surgery. I have not gotten physical therapy until now due to piss-poor PT practitioners I have encountered in the past. One ortho surgeon insisted surgery was my only option and a far more credible ortho surgeon kept steering me to physical therapy since recovery from shoulder surgery is nearly a year long and very painful. I brought my daughter to Mill Valley Physical Therapy for knee rehab after her meniscus surgery. The PT pro was doing excellent work for my daughter so I thought, 'I'm already here; maybe I can try PT again while my daughter is working on her recovery.' I made an appointment to coincide with my daughter's next appointment. Fingers crossed! At my first appointment, my assigned PT Pro began by going over the MRI report, which she'd already read, and explained it to me so this non-medical professional (me) could understand which muscles are torn, which are in distress, where bone spurs are rubbing and degrading ligaments in my shoulder and, then!, explained all the secondary effects my body was likely feeling as a consequence of the main problems evident on the MRI. In short, she put in the effort before my appointment to be thoroughly prepared to begin fully informed treatment of my shoulders as soon as we met. My PT pro proceeded to work on my shoulders to ease the years-long pain I've endured. By my second appointment, I was already feeling relief in my shoulders and she began treatment to the secondary pain spots. Suddenly, I was feeling better, I was taking fewer muscle relaxers to sleep, and I was sleeping through the night without pain. I had not slept through the night without pain in years! I still have work to do to achieve my goals for my shoulders but I am highly confident, nay, extremely confident, my PT Pro will steadily guide me to heal and strengthen my body to the best of my capabilities. Also, the front office staff are super friendly and accommodating to get my appointments and my daughter's appointments to happen concurrently. They also regularly update my orthopedist on my progress. The other PT Pros not treating me or my daughter all know both my daughter and me by name and greet us enthusiastically and actively check in to see if we feel we are improving and asking if we need anything else for our comfort and rehabilitation. Sorry, this is a super long review but there are so many inadequate PT practitioners out there, I felt duty-bound to share with my Yelp Comminity the rare, professional, and highly competent group of professionals at Mill Valley Physical Therapy who are worthy of your trust.

There are more than a few offerings for seniors from daily classes which can be found in the Novato Park and Rec booklet. If senior want an adventure, they can choose from trips to gambling casinos and other road trips from several turn-styles located in the lobby. This is also the location to rent Novato owned locations like the Novato City Council Chambers. I was pleasantly surprised to talk to friendly staff and see free donuts for seniors. The lobby is a wonderful sitting area for people to gather and hang out. There is a smaller gym in the main building and several rooms for activities. There is also a library. A gift shop is located in a nook of the lobby that features handmade crafty objects and second-hand jewelry, and household items. I bought a few amazing pieces of jewelry. This is a little boutique of what looks like a consignment shop. Check it out before X-mas. I would recommend that you take a walk around the large playing field or take an inexpensive dance class through park and rec Novato.

This place is a great source of activity if you prefer to stay busy and aren't ready to start acting your age.
