Sports Medicine in Los Gatos

“Dianne is a fantastic Massage Therapist! We are both water ski enthusiasts, and she helped me with bodywork before my ACL surgery and talked to me about the importance of rehab and recovery. I felt so prepared and am doing great! I am deeply grateful for Dianne's knowledge and experience. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and caring massage therapist.“

“I wanted to take a moment to share my story in case this is helpful for anyone in a similar situation. I am in my mid-40’s, and have had chronic lower back issues since my early 20’s. It got so bad over the last five years that I essentially stopped sitting except to quickly eat a meal. I stopped driving completely a few years ago and had to rely on my husband to drive me around while I reclined the passenger seat. When going out socially, we always had to find a restaurant with high-top tables so I could stand. And I bought stand-up desks for using the computer at work and at home. When flying, I would contort my body into really odd positions (that I thought were taking some pressure off) and I would stand as much as possible during long flights. I once stood over 65% of the way on a flight from CA to Japan!<br><br>All of that to say that I was pretty desperate to get some help and to get to the root cause of my back issues. After watching several of Dr. Pederson’s YouTube videos, I felt that he would do his best to root out the underlaying causes of my back pain. So, when I planned a trip to the Bay Area from San Diego where I live, I decided to tack on some time in Los Gatos to see Dr. Pedersen. I worked with Maggie to set up a couple of appointments over the course of a few days, and the visits were nothing short of life-changing. He determined that postural issues were the fundamental problem and taught me some corrections that I was able to implement immediately. That night after the appointment at dinner with my husband I gave the technique a try and was astounded that I was able to stand up after sitting for an extended period with no pain whatsoever. Absolutely mind-boggling. Yesterday, I was able to take the flight home without needing to hobble down the jetway afterwards. I can sit again for the first time in years!<br><br>I think that Dr. Pedersen is absolutely in the top 1% off sports chiropractors, but he’s also got some very unique training that takes his skills even beyond that level. I highly recommend Positive Motion, especially if you are struggling with back issues that no one else seems able to solve. It is expensive, but absolutely worth it and will save me money in the long term. When I told my husband about the pricing, he said, “You wouldn’t bat an eye if that was the price to get our car fixed. Why should that stop us from running down this possibility?” I am so grateful that we did.“

“First visit with Tobe today. His ability to pinpoint the areas of tension, provide relief, and uncanny ability to dig deeper into root cause was mindblowing!I have homework. {sigh} ;-)Definitely looking forward to my next session!“

“Back or neck pain? Decreased mobility? LGSC is the answer to your problem. The doc’s are professional, friendly, flexible and most of all … healing. I have osteoarthritis, especially in my neck. LGSC had radically improved my neck mobility and significantly decreased my headaches. I highly recommend their services.“

“iMotion Physical Therapy is far and away the best physical therapy outfit that I have used, and I have experience with multiple physical therapy places over time. No one even comes close.<br><br>I had total knee replacement surgery a year ago. Laetetia, my physical therapist at iMotion Physical Therapy Los Gatos, has been exceptionally helpful and effective- first getting me ready before surgery with strengthening routines, and post surgery methodically improving my strength, balance and flexibility capabilities. I could have stopped when I was able to walk and hike freely again , but Laetetia motivated me and adapted my routine so that I have now resumed playing tennis, something I gave up years before my surgery and never imagined I could ever resume!<br><br>I highly recommend Laetetia and iMotion for anyone needing a significant rehabilitation. I can not thank them enough!“
