Physical Therapy near Kentfield

“Dr. Lauren Malachowski is currently my treating physical therapist. As someone who has been both a physical therapy patient off and on for the past 40 years, and a rehabilitation professional who worked with physical therapists collegially, and co-treated patients with them, I am eager to let folks know what an exceptionally talented physical therapist Dr. Malachowksi is. Not only is she accomplished with all of the standard and cutting-edge knowledge and skill of a well-trained and licensed physical therapist, but she brings to the work a rare sensibility for grasping the whole person, along with a passionate commitment to assist patients in realizing their rehabilitation goals. Perhaps most unusual, I have found that within a very short time she showed an uncanny intuitive ability to understand exactly what I needed as a patient, despite my presenting with a complicated history of musculo-skeletal challenges. Dr. Malachowski’s uncommon insight as a clinician felicitously combines with an accurate empathic quality and a genuine relational facility that makes the experience of working with her fresh and effective. Most remarkable of all, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Malachowski forged a powerfully functional, individually-honed and fruitful therapeutic relationship with me, entirely through remote means.Eliezer T.

“I have been seeing Marci at Pelvic Path for close to 10 months now. My initial reason for coming was bladder leakage... But things began surfacing in my body that I thought were unrelated. Each session I would mention the new thing and each time Marci would have an explanation on how the symptom I was experiencing was related to the pelvic floor and would offer up an exercise to address the issue. Not only has my leakage improved dramatically but so has my overall physical strength and mental well-being. She uses an integrative approach to healing and strengthening. I feel empowered and engaged in my healing process. She is giving me tools to take with me as I move forward.Marci is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, empathetic, adaptable and upbeat with just the right amount task master thrown in.The sessions are always different and meet me where I'm at on the day of the session. I trust her implicitly! She is a valued member of my health care team.“

“I was advised by my ENT doctor to work with Renew Physical Therapy as they specialize with TMJ, jaw and neck pain issues. Cassie and Hailey on two wonderful therapist who understand this issue and how painful and difficult TMJ issues can be. Over the past few months they have helped me with pain management as well as exercises to help ease the muscle tightness. It's a slow process to heal TMJ but they also are two that actually work directly within the jaw and mouth helping to ease the soreness while also helping me gain more mobility in my jaw. Truly appreciate their help. The front desk staff is also great Tamara is professional and kind and helps navigate insurance questions. Very happy with Renew team in Mill Valley“

“I've been going there for years every time I'm helped with my aches and pains. If it hurts get it taken care of there you will love it“

“Jeff gave very personalized therapy sessions that were at the perfect level based on my physical capabilities throughout the recovery process. I have been to other PT's, and they were typically moving between several patients during my sessions. Not Jeff, he gives you one on one sessions to make sure that you are performing all the exercises properly. I would definitely return to Jeff if I ever need PT again.“

“Referred by a friend, Book took care of my shoulder issue in one session. Acute? Chronic? Maintenance? I recommend Brook for all!“

“Mary has used multiple modalities for whatever my need is per visit. After my hip replacement I sought her out for addressing pain in my feet, of all places. She worked wonders. I revisit her for congestion in my ankles and any number of aches and pains. Mary is a "healer" with many effective tools!! I highly recommend her.“

“Quality care every time! Been having an issue with my right arm for a few weeks, It would fall asleep when laying on my right side in bed. I have been working out really really hard, making great gains, but it appears I have developed Thoracic outlet syndrome on my right hand side. I clearly have been straining and not stretching enough! Dr. Drew confirmed this by giving me a thorough exam. He found all the issues, fixed me up, and gave me a few ideas and things I can do to improve the diagnosis. That's why I love this office. I feel I'm listened to, and always leave with a game plan on how to prevent what happened or improve it. Best sleep I have had in weeks was right after the adjustment, arm did not fall asleep. My mood has improved! Everyone in the front office is great, there couldn't be a more efficient office. Many thanks Dr. Drew and team!“

“"My father stayed at Professional Post Acute in June 2024, and I couldn't be more pleased with the care he received. The staff was incredibly friendly and made him feel right at home. The quality of care was top-notch, ensuring that all his needs were met with professionalism and compassion. I must give special recognition to the administrator Nicole Foreman. She was absolutely amazing! Nicole was so attentive and always available whenever I had questions or concerns regarding my father. It was reassuring to know that she was just a call away, ready to help with anything we needed. I highly recommend Professional Post Acute for anyone in need of skilled nursing care. The dedication and kindness of the entire team truly made a difference in my father's recovery."“

“Ray is amazing 10/10 recommended. I had a huge hip surgery I had doctors recommend me doing and he has helped me thus far avoid it. I can’t believe the progress I’ve made with him in many ways. I came from Active Marin and this was 10x better. Do not hesitate to work with him“

“I found Sam through a friend's referral. I had a wonderful massage. Sam is very knowledgeable and caring. He spends time getting you know you and your needs. I highly recomend Sam.“

“I've been going there for years every time I'm helped with my aches and pains. If it hurts get it taken care of there you will love it“

“Dr McDonough has the perfect combination of physical therapy and Pilates skills. She not only treats any injury but gives you tools to maintain and strengthen your body. I learn techniques every session that I wish I had known earlier in life. She is an excellent clinician and teacher!“

“After a water ski accident left me with 3 herniated discs and a lot of pain, I was going to get an epidural to relieve the pain. I was referred to Dr. Chappy by my regular chiropractor, who suggested that I needed more than just getting an adjustment. Dr. Chappy squeezed me into his very busy schedule, and I began electromagnetic and laser therapy, as well as spinal decompression and in than 2 weeks, I was pain free! I canceled by epidural appointment and got off all meds. These therapies and the exercises he prescribed helped tremendously and after 7 weeks out from my accident, I'm able to snow ski. Thanks Dr. Chappy and his excellent staff!“

“If I could give DeAnna 100 stars, I would do that. Last year I had both shoulders replaced and I couldn't have done it withoutDeAnna! Her expertise in injuries/surgeries of all types is encyclopedic. Her studio, in her home, has everything needed for a full recovery from any injury. Best of all, with her amazing knowledge, she gently guides clients to optimal functioning in a very safe, supportive environment. DeAnna is the only PT I've ever worked with who created a plan (with how-to videos) that made me want to go home and do my daily home exercises religiously. Because I saw and felt the positive results from sticking to her program!! She's just the best PT I've ever worked with. She's also a wonderful, caring human and I know my great outcomes from my surgeries wouldn't have happened without her guidance and knowledge.“

“I have used their hand therapy and hip therapy and am extremely happy with the staff that I have worked with. They are professional, friendly and do try to get you to the results you are looking for. I highly recommend them!“

“I fell down a flight of stairs -- did PT to no effect, and decided to try this instead. Total miracle. I have been getting stretched regularly by one of the top female flexologists to regain strength and range of motion while decreasing pain from inflammation. River, Neil, and the flexologists at StretchLab Greenbrae are really wonderful people in addition to providing a life-changing service (TY!). I could rave on, but just go! You'll feel so much better.“

“Tammara changed the whole picture of health for me after a chronic neck injury kept me from sleeping well, affecting my posture and pulling my core out of alignment. I spent over a year w a PT at another facility and arrived in the same pain when I had my first session. She worked closely with me, gave me a clear treatment plan, helped me understand how my neck was affecting other pain areas. You can feel the years of expertise in understanding the physiology of injuries in her hands. She facilitated the healing though ART manual therapy, Shockwave for myofascial breakdown and WinBack Tecar for pain and muscular release as part of my rehabilitation.I returned to see Dr. Moore after I had PRP therapy in my left hip since strengthening this area post injection is critical to the success. She gave me mobility pattern exercises and I was able to ski six weeks post!!Highly recommend her expertise to anybody looking to regain movement, has bodily restrictions or wants to improve their performance to the next level.“

“I've been looking for a new Chiropractor since mine left Marin, and Yelp reviews helped me find this office. Dr. Eckhardt and his staff are very warm and inviting. The office is immaculate, and they practice Covid safety protocols, which helped me feel very comfortable. The adjustment I had was incredibly gentle and helped immediately. I'll go back once a week for a few weeks, and we will reevaluate after those treatments.“

“Al is not only skilled, highly knowledgeable, and dedicated to the art and science of body work, but he's courageous in his approach. He doesn't waiver on approaching the body from a best practices mindset even when there may be 'crowds' who argue with it. Speaking as a fellow body worker, I can say that Al's insight into massage to help with low back, hip, shoulder, neck pain.... is one of the most effective approaches I've ever received. And, he's a community leader in massage - a true Master - highly recommend getting on his schedule while he's still taking new clients.“

“I developed a serious back problem and could not walk. The medical recommendation was surgery. I wanted to try something less intrusive, though the pain and limitations on functioning were severe. A friend had had a good experience with Dr. Schillinger, and recommended him. Previously I had been rather doubtful about chiropractic work. Boy, was I wrong. I am walking now, without pain or discomfort, getting stronger and feeling tremendously better. Dr. Schillinger is outstanding. He's thoughtful, informed, open and pays attention. I recommend him highly and without reservation.“

“If you have been struggling with tennis elbow, I strongly recommend Allen. Don’t try cortisone, give this a try first. Allen is 100% focused on tennis (and golf) elbow. His approach is primarily on using massage techniques to stimulate the rehabilitation of tendons and ligaments but also on stretching and strength exercises. I’ve been to about five sessions and feel very much that my tennis elbow issues are close to resolved.“

“I've been to MANY chiros over the years and Dr Joe is the absolute BEST chiropractor on the planet (imo). Knowledgeable and thoughtful. Technical and tactical. Brings a well rounded and multi-viewed approach to the practice. The fact that he has the size and strength of an NFL linebacker is huge(pun intended)and can't be over-looked. If you're a large human like myself (6'4"225lb), an equally large human chiro is a must for body positioning/manipulation. Never had anyone like Dr Joe with the knowledge of different and excellent therapeutic positions and the strength to execute said movements. Bottom line: Go see Joe.“

“My mom on the East coast turned me on to the benefits of integrated manual therapy (IMT), and suggested I find a practitioner after I fell down on my right knee on hard concrete, resulting in a terrible ache any time I had to drive more than a half-hour. Even though I waited nearly six months to get treatment, Jared managed to reverse the damage after about six sessions and my leg feels good as new! I'm amazed and so happy! I also had some issues with small dribbles of pee coming out sometimes minutes after I had used the bathroom (hello, all you mothers out there!) and Jared fixed that as well within the first, three sessions. He also provided me with acupuncture to help with insomnia and stress. I'm so impressed with his work! IMT is a hands-on treatment that works with the natural, magnetic fields in the body, and is incredibly gentle and non-invasive. I don't generally like the experience of acupuncture, and I've had acupuncturists in the past who put in tons of needles, which was unpleasant. Jared only used 4-6, tiny needles per session, but he knew exactly where to put them to be incredibly effective. It's so nice to go to a medical practitioner who knows what they are doing and actually gets results, rather than just shrugging their shoulders while taking your money, shuffling you off to someone else, or performing treatments which don't work and/or are harsh on the body. I only paid a $20 co-pay per session too, as long as I received acupuncture. Jared has you fill out a longish intake form (which you can do online) before the first appointment, and unlike most medical people I've been to, he actually read it and took it into account in my treatment. On top of that, Jared is a nice guy, fun to talk to, and I'll miss seeing him regularly now that I'm all better. Thank you, Jared! You are wonderful!“
