The exercises James and Hannah introduced have helped in ways beyond just relieving my pain. Before I got referred here, a hip specialist turned me away saying there was nothing he could do to help. Needless to say it was such a relief to find an uplifting team who are extremely competent at helping. read more

There aren't a lot of places in my neighborhood that take my insurance. My primary doctor didn't know anyone to refer me to and suggested I call around then to let her know who I found so she could get a referral sent on and approved. That process didn't sit well with me because I would rather be asking what kind of care they can provide for me and if they can help me with my shoulder vs if they take my insurance. That said, thank goodness my orthopedic surgeon knew who to refer me to. VibrantCare!! James is amazing! Knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I have been seeing him for over 2 months and have seen excellent progress with my frozen shoulder. I have seen a few PTs in my life but James is my favorite thus far. He doesn't just give you exercises then walk away. He talks to you about your progress, answers questions, and spends quality time with you. I wish there were 2 of James in that office. The exercises are totally doable. He shows you what to do and how many times you do them for. They use an app for your phone to make t easy for to refer to the exercises, and it comes with videos so you are guided along throughout your care. Ana at the front desk is also awesome! She assists with the exercises to get you started while James is with a client. She is also knowledgeable and professional. What I like about Ana is she will advocate for you to receive care. There was a hiccup with my insurance as far as extending the number of visits to continue my progress, but Ana stayed on top it to get my authorization approved and get me back on track with my appointments so as not to have a lapse in treatment. Their service is not about how many people they can fit in an hour and the PT bounces around to different patients. Nope. That is not VibrantCare. They spend personal time with each client during their entire appointment tine. That's care quality! I only wish there were more Jameses at this office. Thank you VibrantCare! read more

My mother-in-law had a broken shoulder and has been having physical therapy here for a couple of months. Hanna has been extremely helpful.

So unfortunately this isn't my first time at this location . In 2022 I had rotator cuff surgery and I decided to give this place a try even if it's a little over 30 min drive for me. I must say thank you to James who helped me throughout my recovery. Now I'm back again for another injury and I made sure to ask for vibrant care again because I've been experienced nothing but good things with them . read more

I've been working with Hannah at Vibrant Care. She brings an incredible sense of calm and compassion to every session. Her thoughtful, patient-centered approach immediately puts you at ease. Hannah's therapy methods are well-balanced and progressive. She doesn't overload you with too many exercises but focuses on a few key ones that address the problem thoroughly. Her ability to mix and match exercises keeps each session effective and engaging. It's clear she truly understands how to tailor therapy to each individual's needs. Honestly, Hannah feels like the backbone of this place -- her professionalism, empathy, and consistency make a real difference in recovery. That said, the clinic itself could further improve by expanding the therapy options. A holistic physical therapy experience should ideally include a combination of muscle massage therapy, cupping, electrical stimulation, and targeted muscle work in addition to exercises. Integrating combination of these in each session could help patients recover more completely and comfortably. read more

My wife has been a patient there for the past few months for shoulder injury PT, her physical therapist Hanna, is very knowledgeable, hard working and caring. We are seeing definite improvement and couldn't be happier, we would definitely recommend them. read more

very disappointed in this place the day of my appointment for 11 am, they called at 9 am to cancel my appointment and preceded to tell me to contact my insurance because they did not receive an authorization for approval, but they received my referral from my PC. this was 2 months in the making, so instead of them calling the insurance THEY TOLD ME TO DO IT. THE LADY WHO CALLED ME WAS VERY RUDE and hung up on me. her name was MEGAN; I called back to speak to her supervisor she hung up again. I quit trying, instead i chose to yelp this business, as of 3/5/26 i got a call from them saying that everything was good with my insurance and they received another referral from my PC. i will not be using this place ever!!! read more

Terrible place. They told me they can see my mom and accommodate her 8 outpt PT visits after her knee sx. They saw my mom first visit and then say they are too full and don't have any opening for another 2 months. I was like this very unprofessional. I would give no start if I can. read more

I'm very happy with the service I've been getting from Vibrant Care Livermore. From Megan who runs the desk, to Anna who assists James during therapy sessions, they have all been very pleasant, friendly, and proffessional. The reviews are all true. I highly recommend this place for your physical therapy needs. Thanks guys for the great service! read more

VibrantCare Rehabilitation - Therapy time with Anna - Physical Therapy Near Me - Livermore, California

Horrible scheduling experience here at this rehab center. I called them to make an appt for 2 weeks out from my extensive shoulder and rotator cuff surgery. They called 2 days prior to the appt and relayed they could not keep that first appt. Now they want me to travel to Tracy next week. This is absolutely ridiculous and it will affect my complete rehab. OK, they called me back and are effectively going to keep same day appt. I will need to travel to Tracy, but this is better than starting weeks later than I need. Thanks, read more

The Therapist is EXCELLENT He is very thorough in his instructions and explanation of all his findings!!! I've been going to various treatment places for my back, legs and feet for over 20yrs. I feel hopeful, better and exhaust myself doing my exercises willingly. My Therapist is AWESOME If you need to recover or live a better quality of life: COME TO VIBRANT CARE REHABILITATION IN LIVERMORE. LESS PAIN BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE TO GAIN*** read more

James Blizel is a great physical therapist! He is very competent and caring, and he helped me so much with the pain from my plantar fascitis. Megan at the front desk was also awesome! Livermore VibrantCare is a very good PT facility. read more

I was scheduled for a few months of PT here after breaking both of my wrists in an accident. James and his team provided very personalized and custom support that worked around my schedule. He was very thorough and was able to answer all my questions, and provided certain exercises to work on based on how my recovery was tracking. Thanks again for the help! read more

I've had lower back issues for a decade, now. Finally got around to addressing it by getting an MRI and working with a Physical Therapist. James has been a lifesaver. He's extremely knowledgeable, explains everything thoroughly, plans a specific exercise regimen, monitors progression, adds new movements and stretches as you progress, even incorporates a mobile app to help with your exercises at home. He's also hands on, and will treat any lingering pain or soreness with massaging, even electrical stimulation. The staff is super friendly, everyone is keeping an eye on you to see if you need anything. Overall, it's a fantastic experience. And of course, my back actually feels sturdy for the first time in a long time. read more

Its a great facility. Dr. James Blizel is amazing, pays attention to detail, explains properly and leaves you satisfied with the care given. Highly recommend. Office is clean and staff is very nice too. read more

Very caring and knowledgeable staff. Facility is small but clean. Wait time to be seen is minimal.

I Injured my knee in November of 2022. And ended up having PCL and MCL Replacement and repair surgery in February of 2023. I have been going to physical therapy here since the very beginning. James was always attentive to my current situation with my knee pain and strength. He had to completely shift gears when I had the surgery. Ashley made the paperwork easy as well as the scheduling appointments around my schedule. They are both extremely professional and personable. I would recommend this location to friends and family read more

I don't give reviews so this is the first. I've been coming to vibrant care off and on the last few years and am happy with the care I've received. I'm seeing James at the moment at the Livermore location for a shoulder and biceps repair. It's been a pleasure working with him the last couple months. He listens to the client and shows genuine concern for my recovery. I would recommend him to anyone looking for help with PT needs. James gets 5 stars. I only give my review 4 stars for Vibrant care because they need more therapists on staff . read more

I came to Vibrantcare after surgery for my broken leg. My visits have really helped in my recovery as I've basically had to relearn to walk. Very friendly and professional, and they will treat you right here. Karla and Zachary were my therapists, and Ali keeps the office running and laughing while also scheduling, greeting patients, and helping with treatments. I feel like the therapy has been the right amount of challenge to get me better while very attentive to my comfort. I would definitely recommend coming to Vibrantcare Livermore! Thank you for the help! read more

Vibrant care physical therapy was great! James is so knowledgeable and really willing to help I totally appreciate the staff here they are amazing and I'm feeling so much better after coming here! Thanks guys read more

I have a screw in my hip from 30 years ago that's causing arthritis in my hip that's been progressively getting worse. I was recommended to visit VibrantCare 3 years ago and the physio help I received there completely eliminated my pain. I went on to do many 5 and 10k walks over the pandemic. Unfortunately, I stopped going for physio over the pandemic and slowly stopped my exercises (which was my own fault!) and my pain returned. The arthritis progression can't be stopped and had considerably worsened since 3 years ago. Only the pain could be managed through physio. My orthopedic doctor recommended hip replacement. But I requested if I could try physiotherapy again. I returned to VibrantCare 6 weeks ago and I've had just 4 sessions. I can't believe how much better I'm already feeling. The main physio therapist, James is amazing. They also use an app called MedBridge GO, which guides you through the exercises at home and helps you with pacing and such. But what I really liked is the amount of attention that was paid to my very detailed descriptions of where the pain was and how it was evolving. James would listen very closely to what I had to say, then evaluate my situation with that in mind and either tweak or recommend new exercises, with each visit. So the healing and changes were implemented real-time and very efficiently. Another thing I loved was the hands-on physio. I am a lady and my injury is in the hip/groin area. Some traction and compression massages were recommended. I would ordinarily favor a lady doctor or therapist. But I was 100% comfortable at VibrantCare. The whole care was very gentle and respectful and most importantly, very healing and effective. I don't know if I can indefinitely avoid the hip replacement since my condition is caused by the screw in my hip. But thanks to VibrantCare, I'll at least be able to decide when I get my surgery and not have to do it based on how much longer I can bear it. And I'm getting more and more of my daily functionality back! Another important point to note in the era of Covid-19. They take tremendous care to wipe all surfaces as patients rotate. They also provide you with disinfected pens while filling out paperwork. The therapist and staff were also consistently (and correctly!) masked. Since so many of their clientele are elderly, this was much appreciated. I would 100% recommend VibrantCare to anyone seeking physiotherapy. read more

Love these folks. I'll be coming back when I tear the other meniscus. Thanks for the assist, guys & gals!

Karla, Ali and Zack are great. They are all so friendly and happy. After neck surgery they have taken very good care of me. I feel like I'm make good strides in my recovery. A part of me never wants to get well because I don't want to stop seeing them. If you ever need to heal or you ladies out there that are worries about posture and getting older and want to stay limber....look no further! read more

After my ACL replacement surgery, I was referred to VibrantCare Livermore for physical therapy. My physical therapist, Karla Trotta, and her staff (Andrea, etc) have been fantastic. They seem to genuinely care about their patients and their progress. The atmosphere is very relaxing and Karla has a great way of gentle encouragement when exercises get tougher to do. I highly recommended VibrantCare Livermore as an option for physical therapy. read more

Fantastic caring and competent staff at this location and a very great calming atmosphere. I had my first PT session with Karla Trotta and Andrea today. They both were amazing very nice people and i am lucky to have found this practice especially important for a practice that helps people recover from injuries/pain. Highly recommend. Thank you! read more

I came here for four months after an ankle surgery, and Karla and her team were instrumental in helping me regain a mobile lifestyle. They were all very helpful in teaching me exercises, making sure I was doing them correctly, and gave me new exercises when I was ready to move on to more intense exercises. Karla was receptive to how my body was feeling and always gave me good advice on how to properly rehab my ankle. Thank you all for a wonderful experience! read more

Had ACL knee surgery 5 ago and I have never been the same. Haven't had the range motion since. Because of that I have had incredible lower back pain due to my gate change. I have gone to several PT over the years but never got relief. I moved to Livermore a few years ago, so I thought I'd try PT again.. Karla and Team @ Vibrant Care have been great! My pain level has gone down so much. This is the first time since surgery that I have been able to straighten my knee an the back pain has gotten better. A plus everyone is so nice and friendly. I recommend this PT facility! read more

I had a good experience here. My knee that was so painful, I couldn't run any longer healed in 3 weeks with the exercises prescribed and the pain is gone completely. The exercises got gradually harder and were varied, so it was never boring. Upbeat, positive, and welcoming place, my recommendations to go try it out. read more

Thank you so much to Carla and all of her staff. I had a wonderful experience while recovering from back surgery. Carla and all her staff made me feel like they truly cared about my physical therapy needs. Everyone there is professional, kind and courteous. All went above and beyond to make sure I received exercises that were helpful for my recovery but with the least amount of pain to complete. In addition, I learned how to continue to do the exercises needed to help me and my new back stay healthy. Thanks for a wonderful PT experience. Lesa read more

I needed pelvic floor physical therapy after the birth of my second child. There are very few PTs that have knowledge in this specialty, but Karla is amazing! She has a great knowledge of how all the muscles connected to the hips work together and takes a wholistic approach - treating not only the muscles in question, but also muscles in my legs and core that were contributing to the problem. My sessions with Karla included manual stretching of the pelvic floor muscles (this part is completely up to the patient, of course), leg stretches, and core/pelvic floor strengthening exercises. She gave me at-home instructions with reminders on how to do the exercises/stretches. I saw noticeable improvement in about 3 weeks and significant improvement in about 6 weeks. All in all, an excellent experience and I highly recommend Karla! read more

Another update: I "graduated" today! I will miss coming to therapy (strange but true)!!! Karla and staff have made this process of rehab so enjoyable and rewarding. Starting back in December with a shoulder impingement - no MRI, no prior tests but I knew I had to try PT first and I was right. Through Karla and staff's expertise I've come back 100%. I cannot say it enough - the facility is small but that makes it very personal, they have any and all equipment you would need, not to mention their expertise and encouragement. I will miss you all - and a huge thank you. To anyone looking for PT - please consider this place. You won't regret it. read more

Carla was excellent! She worked with my 78 yr old mother-in-law who was recovering from neck surgery. Carla was patient, yet firm. The facilities are clean and inviting. I would highly recommend Carla and her team for physical therapy. read more

Excellent! Karla has really gotten me back on my feet after spraining my ankle. Professional but fun environment for Physical Therapy.

My doctor recommended that I start physical therapy for my shoulder. I was having a difficult time lifting my arm and it became numb at times. I had never done physical therapy before and I was hesitant because I am not a fan of working out, it took me 3 months to book the appointment. I was able to book and start my therapy right away. From the first telephone call to make an appointment, I felt a sense of professionalism and caring. At my first appointment, Karla introduced herself and stated this was a teaching facility and would it be ok if a student sat in on the evaluation. I am a huge advocate for on the job training and was thrilled to be involved in the education process of a student. Karla throughly asked questions to determine the proper exercises to assign to me. Then those exercises were explained and shown how to be done as well as I was given additional descriptions of those exercises to be done at home. As I am not one to work out on a regular basis I was afraid I would not enjoy my time. The exercises were not at all as I thought that they would be, they were not the "stop till you drop" kind but go at my own pace and try to strengthen my muscles. The staff was always attentive to my posture and corrected me if I was incorrect without making me feel defeated. I highly recommend this facility, the positive, happy environment and the professionalism in addition to the knowledgable staff has made me feel very comfortable coming out of this new experience very pleased. read more

They have a kind, courteous and knowledgeable staff. Karla is great, she is very concerned about your well-being and getting you back to feeling great! Ali is just wonderful and funny. I would highly recommend them. read more

I just want to thank Karla and her "Krew". They have been so professional and caring from start to finish. With the physical therapy to the strength and conditioning sessions; they have brought my bicep and rotator back to better shape then it has been before. I would definitely recommend their services for PT and rehabilitation services. I am so grateful for their services. Jim Fell. read more

After a cursory review of various PT facilities, recommended by my physician, VibrantCare was chosen. After an extensive search of VibrantCare facilities- in terms of prudent and professional care- I chose the Livermore branch. Within a few sessions, I got pain remediation significantly and increased mobility of my injuries. I highly recommend the physical therapists, headed by Karla Trotta, and easily justifies my 120 mile round-trip appointments. R.K. Chin- GOLD RUSH read more
