Jackie is amazing! I have had the privilege of being her patient multiple times, and am so thankful for her guidance in rehabilitating a wrist and elbow fracture simultaneously, (another) elbow fracture a year later, and decreased mobility in my shoulder from years of bad posture and subpar swim technique. Jackie is very knowledgeable, patient, and caring. She explains exercises clearly, and made sure I had the correct form before sending me on my way. Depending on where I was in the healing process, my therapy sessions comprised strengthening, stretching, and manual therapy modalities. Renew therapists see only one patient at a time, which I felt maximized each session and ensured I maintained proper form on each exercise. On occasion I have seen the other therapists, and they are all great! As an athlete, it's a scary place to be when you break a bone that's core to your sport. Jackie's reassurance and encouragement were key to my staying motivated, especially early on in the healing process--and we celebrated little milestones, like being able to curl a one-pound dumbbell or push myself up from a prone position. A happy outcome: Just one year after breaking my wrist and elbow I qualified for the Masters Nationals swim meet, and even swam a lifetime best! The Renew Novato front desk staff is awesome--professional, competent, kind. They remember your name and always warmly greet you. Scheduling appointments was easy via phone or email, and they will add you to a wait list if your preferred day/time isn't available. A shoutout to Angelica, Madison, and Amber for making scheduling and figuring out insurance simple! I moved away and am sad to have finished PT, but Jackie sent me off with a great plan for continuing to strengthen my arm and keep my shoulder mobile. Seven months after my second elbow fracture, I am swimming 2+ miles 4-5x/week and practicing yoga 3x/a week with no pain or limitations. I am very grateful I found Renew PT!

I drove 4 hours round trip to get the Renew Physical Therapy. They are one of the few PT places that offer pelvic floor PT that can be paid through insurance. I really liked working with Imee and appreciate the follow-up.

Outstanding assistance and therapy by Renew PT and my therapist Chelsea. In a few sessions she began with some tips for recovery (shoulder bursitis) but soon noticed that I was "recruiting" other muscles and carrying my shoulder wrong. At first this seemed awkward and counterintuitive, but she was right: by correcting my form and restarting "forgotten" muscles, my shoulder became more flexible and symptoms rapidly clearing after a couple weeks. These things take time. Chelsea's relaxed but insightful approach made a difference for me - she knows what she's doing! Thank you!
