Physical Therapy near Moraga

“This review is very long overdue. I first had a massage at Shape Shifters earlier this year, then started attending yoga, and then a special combo treatment (we would do some body work and some physical movement). Terra helped me SO much .. I was/am healing from a few car accidents, and her super knowledge of the body was a huge asset to me. I had been "out" of working out for a very long time because of my accidents, and with Terra's guidance, gradually got back into yoga earlier this year, and now am happy to say that despite moving across the country and no longer being able to attend Shape Shifters, I'm able to do yoga poses I was unable to do before, and in the gym lifting weights! I cannot tell you how huge this is for me - and I really credit Terra for a big part of the shift I needed to get here. She is incredible! And supported by great masseuses as well. Also love the creams she has. I would recommend her and the studio to anyone looking for a supportive environment to work out (yoga or pilates) and/or who needs body work... and especially to anyone who was like me and wanted a combination of those things! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!“

“Dr Lin is one of the most knowledgeable and patient physical therapists in the area. His team is also very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!“

“I had gone to 3 other locations in the past for PT and I was so lucky to find Renew PT in Oakland. The 5 star reviews are all spot on and was so relieved to have this gem with wonderful staff in the front and PTs who are so thorough and excellent in assessing and providing effective exercises that really made a difference. The work space was very clean, not crowded and was a pleasure to go to. I liked that the exercise routines were easily accessible with video links that demonstrated the correct way to do the routines. I had Jeff and Lena for my physical therapists and both were great. I would definitely return to Renew if I needed rehab PT in the future.“

“I couldn't be more happier picking Emily for my PT needs. I came to her after doing PT from other locations, but I didn't feel my wrist was any better for climbing. - Flexible on scheduling, I saw her five times every 3-4 weeks, with a focus on home exercises, which was exactly what I was looking for (and I graduated when we both felt it was time). Note that her exercises targeted my wrist issues more closely than the generic ones I've been given from insurance covered PT and online sources - She was very familiar with my body type, as she worked with dancers and paid close attention to my hypermobility - Even though I went to her for my wrist, we were also simultaneously able to work on my right shoulder rotator cuff (which I completely forgot about) and my left ankle. Other PTs (at least with insurance) wouldn't provide this level of attention. - Able to climb while rehabbing! She provided a very specific climbing regimen, which was fantastic for accountability - Looked over climbing videos and helped correct my form (since climbing caused my injuries in the first place) In three months, I am back to projecting again, and she has given me a solid foundation to continue my climbing and non climbing goals. I wish I had seen her first, would have saved me six months of time. Highly recommend Emily, especially if any of the above resonated with you.“

“I have been going here for PT for a couple of months. Progress has been fast and relatively painless. Dr. Nikki is kind and gentle with the patient always treated professionally. I can stand and walk much better after coming here for treatment of bilateral quadriceps tendon ruptures.“

“My doctor gave me a list of PT places but I asked her who she liked and she recommended Daphna Ross so I called her and I am so glad I did. Daphna helped me so much! She is so knowledgeable, kind and patient. I highly recommend her!“

“I recently saw Melinda as my physiotherapist for pelvic pain which is ongoing for 1.5 years, She is a patient listener and heard about my background story, she tried delving into the root cause and possibility of nerve involvement as probable cause of muscles tightening. I am happy with the internal work, exercises recommended and also discovered the usage of pelvic wand. Thanks Melinda for all the pointing the tools in the pain management. I hope to continue them for full recovery.“

“the staff and equipment are excellent. personal attention is superior. they know what they're doing here. highly recommend this place.“

“Amy and Iris are the two PT's that I've seen at Back to Life Physical Therapy; they both are very knowledgable, and thorough in their explanations and guidance. In addition to their abundant knowledge in the specific area of pelvic floor, the extra care and time they put in to really listen, understand and then instruct me have been what distinguishes them in the field of physical therapists. I have improved since starting to work with them (a year ago). The office is kept clean and neat, and is full of natural wood, natural light, and includes a library of pertinent material. Colleena, the receptionist/office manager, is a wonderful and personable and efficient part of the team. I highly recommend this practice.“

“I had a mountain bike accident years ago, and believed chiropractic care was the best course for my physical health despite still suffering from regular pain. Thankfully, my chiropractor referred me to Clayton Francis for an evaluation to see if Clayton could help me. I've been seeing Clayton now for almost three years and feel better than I have in many years. He explained to me why I still had the pain from the bike accident, and gave me exercises to help develop the surrounding muscles. Clayton explained to me why my back hurt (I was wearing bad shoes), he showed me how to take care of my feet so exercise would be more beneficial, and he's taught me many more things that are invaluable. When I first saw Clayton 3 years ago, I was severely stressed (loss of job, death of a parent after years of caregiving) and in a great deal of pain just about everywhere. At that point, I needed to see him weekly or every other week to get stabilized. Now, I only see him once a month. If you need help finding out how a mystery pain originated, and how to fix it, see Clayton. If you have chronic pain from an old injury like me, go see Clayton. He's truly a magician!“

“Rebeca is a treasure. Her healing energy goes beyond the tension relieving benefits of massage to help rewire the nervous system to experience peace. She weaves together many branches of embodied knowledge to offer holistic healing, which is clearly her calling.“

“Everyone Is Professional And Respectful
Great People And Working Hard For Their Clients“

“Front staff are cheerful, friendly & helpful.
Dr. Mac is knowledgeable & excellent at his work, gave me easy-to-do, yet effective exercises; and his adjustments improved my migranes and gerd. Great choice for chiropractic care“

“Dr. Kristin is a gifted diagnostician and genuine healer. After carefully assessing my problem, she developed a customized plan that we amend each week as I make progress. She's an excellent communicator. The office staff is likewise efficient and accommodating. I highly recommend this practice!“

“I was referred to Bayo Vista from a friend who had a great experience with Karen. I had Karen for my intake appointment she made me feel very comfortable with the pelvic exam. I have been working with Emily for all of my other appointments and she is WONDERFUL. She looks at your whole body and works on all parts holistically. I felt silly to point out my knee feeling stiff in one appointment as it wasn't the major problem spot. Emily looked into it and wow, did she make a difference! I felt like a new person. I had assumed that this knee would always feel that way after I had ACL reconstruction 7 years ago... but I was happily proven wrong! All appointments are 1 hour and you really get focused time with Emily or Karen. They are out of network with insurance, but I would still highly recommend them due to the quality of care you receive. Emily and Karen also have been very supportive of my bringing my baby with me. It was very comfortable to bring her and we took breaks as needed for nursing/holding. Thank you for being baby friendly, especially when a mama just needs some physical therapy love postpartum. :) Erika is also their billing and administrative ninja. She is so on top of sending out superbills for insurance the day of your appointment and booking appointments for you. I really appreciate that Bayo Vista uses text messages for booking appointments or their online system. I would highly recommended Bayo Vista!“

“I was referred by UCSF Endometriosis Center to Janette for pelvic floor physical therapy following a laparoscopy. I had been in constant, chronic, and debilitating pain for over 2 years, which impacted my overall quality of life. Janette's individualized approach and expertise allowed me to feel relief the day following my first appointment. I noticed going from irritable and agitated due to the pain, to calm and present in my body. This was the first time I had felt like this in over 2 years and I became hopeful for my future. Janette validated my experience through her understanding of the latest endometriosis research. Janette provided manageable exercises where I was able to see progress between each session, which kept me motivated. I feel safe, seen, and held throughout this healing process by Janette's kind, calm, and present demeanor.“

“I’ve gone to Kevin ,off and on ,for about 15 years . I went most recently for sciatica. Kevin was able to alleviate my pain in a few short visits . He is so personable , professional and kind . I would also like to say that the girls at the front desk are also great . I highly recommend Kevin’s practice to anyone looking for a chiropractor.“

“Most comprehensive, knowledgeable, professional, effective, and pleasant physical therapist I have ever worked with.“

“Jane is the best and really good at what she does. I've been having neck and fertility issues and she was able to address it all. I've been to several acupuncturists and she is the real deal.“

“I have been getting work done by Derick for going on 10 years. As someone who has over 25 years in the physical therapist industry and being a Sports massage specialists I would say he is one of the best in the Bay Area. From shoulder pain to sciatica he has helped get me back feeling great. He has also worked on my son who played quarterback for many years. Anytime my sons shoulder would be hurting, Derick would get him pain free. If you want help with injuries or pain relief I don't know of anyone better. He is an athlete himself so he gets the struggle of being in pain. Also probably the best prices you will find!“

“I've been coming to Maggie for months now and have had a noticeable improvement in my hip openness and back discomfort. She's an excellent listener and teacher - helps identify and focus on specific areas for treatment during the sessions and teaches stretches/exercises you can do at home. Clean studio and relaxing atmosphere.“

“Assist on Call has been a blessing. They have been so helpful and flexible. We started with another agency based upon the surgeon's recommendation but they were a nightmare. Assist on Call stepped in and provided AAA+ support“

“Henry the Massage Therapist, who works part-time at the Rossmoor location is awesome!“

“Edie is the Sherlock Holmes of PTs. Don't expect a run of the mill assessment and standard exercises. Edie goes deep in her evaluation, bringing decades of experience, education, insight, and wisdom about how our bodies perform, and she then works with you on solutions that actually work for you and your lifestyle. She does all of this with grace, patience, compassion, and humor. Best of all, she LOVES what she does and it shows.I went to Edie with a laundry list of flat feet, persistent lower back pain, tendonitis in my wrists and elbows, and massive neck/shoulder lockup with chronic headaches. Edie took one look at my feet and said they're not (structurally) flat, they're just flexible and weak, but the good news is that we can probably fix them. In just 6 weeks my gait has improved and, with it, my posture. I no longer wake up aching and stiff. My headaches have cleared, thanks to Edie's bodywork (yep, her approach to healing is holistic and she doesn't just do PT). And, I never thought I'd say this, but I love the exercises she gives me. They make me feel so good during and after. Edie's studio is like the ultimate playground. She has all kinds of equipment, props, and tools that she puts to full use to find personalized solutions for you.Pro tip: Don't hold back, be honest about your habits and how you live, so that you can benefit from Edie's work. I love to hang out in bed for more hours than the average cat and I knew it was adding to my already existing back pain. I was afraid Edie would tell me my bed is now off limits, but instead, she set me up with the right support pillows and here I am, writing this review pain-free from guess where? :)“

“While on a business trip to the Oakland area, I decided to visit Synapse Massage and Body Works, and it exceeded all my expectations. The facility was immaculate, and the staff were exceptionally friendly. I opted for the 90-minute massage and was thoroughly pleased with the experience. I felt an immediate improvement, and the next morning I woke up feeling rejuvenated. I highly recommend this place to both locals and visitors; you won't be disappointed. In fact, I'm planning to return before heading back to New York. Thank you so much!“

“This is a very well run business with excellent staff and efficient use of space. The owner has informative videos she offers in email form that are helpful. The PT's are excellent. Very professional as well as friendly.“
