I would address my accolades specifically to Jimmy, my PT. He was smart, knowledgeable, and adjusted my treatment plan based on my progress, and his rehab plan and treatment helped me, and now I am 100% recoverd. Jimmy is also a good listener, humble, and a nice guy. Should the need arise, I would not hesitate to come see him again.

Dr. Ariana was super attentive and helpful in addressing my back pain and providing knowledgeable guidance and effective exercises. I felt comfortable going to their office from my very first visit. I experienced noticeable improvements in my back pain and mobility. I also saw long-term improvements in my posture and overall everyday physical comfort. I highly recommend Alameda Physical Therapy to anyone seeking knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective care. Their dedication and expertise in helping their patients truly set them apart.

This year I wanted to add Pilates to my routine (already doing treadmill and weights). I'd tried it…read morebefore but found it outrageously expensive, still did it anyway because I'm stubborn :) When I emailed ProBalance, Nancy suggested private sessions with Thomas F first. Best call ever. Thom actually makes it fun. He's engaging and uses great analogies so you actually understand the form. But what really sets him apart is that he faces you and shows the moves instead of just calling out the next one. He'll demo on a student too, which helps when you have no idea where your arms or legs are supposed to be (which is most of the time for me, haha). He also catches when I space out (which is most times) and gently corrects me. And mid-class? He goes around and gives everyone's calves an assisted stretch one by one. It's seriously awesome, feels like a mini massage built into your session. Six months in and I'm amazed. February me could barely control her legs. August me actually has better strength and stability. Yes, it's still expensive. But I'm grateful to Thom for making me show up every Saturday. He is a hidden gem of an instructor, the kind of teacher that makes you actually want to be there. Highly recommend!!!!

Louisa and Greg are phenomenal!…read more I want to give credit where credit is due. First off, Louisa's attention to detail is top tier!!! She contacted me and accommodated my scheduling of series of appointments to fit my work schedule. First sign that this office cares for their patients. She followed up everytime she stated she would do so. And her outstanding customer service skills caught on to the fact that i would rush to my appoiintments straight from work. She always offered me, water or coffee and when she asked if I wanted a cookie, my eyes opened up wide! I couldn't believe it! Not that cookies are hard to find BUT that she would even offer. She must have heard my stomach growl a few times but in this simple offering she learned that I love cookies! This woman is so incredible that on my last appointment she put a couple cookies aside for me. What a wonderful gesture. In rushing to get to my appointments straight after work for every appointment she offered me a closer location from my job. Which easily cut my commute by 10 minutes !!! These are some small details that I truly appreciate about Louisa. Her customer service skills, warm demeanor and attention to detail is amazing. She deserves a raise !!! Greg! You caught my attention as soon as you gave me facts on the first day on the importance of having a strong upper body and its correlation to longevity and ultimate quality of life. Your expertise and knowledge helped something snap in me to truly give it my all. Not to mention that I felt my strengthening improve in the 6 sessions I had with you. On days where I was in so much pain, he would massage the area to the point where those muscles felt more relaxed. I appreciate the time and efforts you put in helping me get stronger but also giving me pointers on what and what not to do when working out in the gym. For so long I avoided things that later didnt truly help my situation but giving me those pointers helped me navigate into the right direction with getting back into the gym. You also deserve a raise !!! Overall, if you need a PT office to go to where you will be treated like a true patient and not a number, go to this place !!!

If I wasn't going to Kaiser or if I find myself unhappy with my treatment there I would go back to see Sonam, as she is highly knowledgable and very experienced! I highly recommend her.

I came to Pro+Kinetix due to lingering hip and lower back pain from old running injuries which were…read moreexasperated from constant sitting at my desk job. I had tried online mobility programs, but I needed personalized guidance to make real progress. I was matched with Roland Jenkins in 2024 and have been seeing and feeling progress ever since (hello criss-cross applesauce sits!). He helped me improve my mobility, build confidence in the gym, and taught me how to modify exercises for my body (especially as someone who is only 5 feet tall). I've also worked with Lo (Lorraine), who has been equally knowledgeable and supportive. Thanks to Pro+Kinetix, I'm now lifting weights confidently, running again, and moving without the limitations I had only a few years ago. They didn't just help me recover but they taught me how to move better for life. If you're considering physical therapy, don't wait. The team at Pro+Kinetix genuinely cares about helping you reach your goals, whatever they may be, and I'm incredibly grateful for everything they've done for me.

Prokinetix helped fix that, along with a more recent sprained ankle that didn't seem to be getting back to normal, and different aches and pains that would pop up while running, working out, or going for long hikes. Dr Katrina gave me personalized exercises for alleviating the injuries, but also for building strength and mobility to get back to the activities I enjoy. I recently successfully hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back out again with no pain (except for normal muscle soreness from a long steep hike). I am also back to doing hard arm balances in yoga and am very glad I have the tools to keep being active.

I thought doing crunches would help me lose the mummy tummy...if you have a separation (diastasis rectis) you can actually make it worse! Let Suzanne work her magic. Best of all, because she is a PT, it was mostly covered by my insurance. On a side note, she also has started her own line of maternity fitness wear: Bao Bei Maternity

I have gone through multiple PTs and am highly selective with whom I work with. Karen is the real deal. If I have future injuries, I know to see her because I know Ill get the best care I can get.

Because I had switched to a new…read morenon-Kaiser health insurance plan, I found that an extraordinary physical therapist I'd received excellent care from in the past was working at Emeryville Sports Therapy. I booked an appointment with Oliver Mok, a truly gifted physical therapist with a doctorate in PT. Oliver rescued me from a life of disability after 2 car accidents in 2003 that left me with an SI joint dysfunction and a piriformis muscle strain. I couldn't stand or sit for very long and was in agony most of the time. Without medication, I was able to recover to near full capacity because of Oliver's expertise and precision with treatment plans. He was equally thoughtful and gentle with my frozen shoulder so I was able to recover much more quickly than others with the same condition. Overall the Emeryville Sports Therapy staff was friendly and welcoming to me and my service dog. They were efficient and timely with appointments as well. I definitely recommend checking out Emeryvile Sports Therapy if you need PT.
