Physical Therapists in San Francisco

“Healthwell PT Rafaela is a knowledgeable, kind and physical therapist. I went in for rotator cuff pain which flared up whenever I moved my arms in certain positions. Rafaela showed me several exercises I could do to strengthen the area around it. Once I started doing the exercises regularly, the pain went away, however if I slacked off, back it came.
Rafaela also helped my knee pain. She watched my walk down the stairs which caused the pain and figured out how I could alter my walk in such a way that the pain wouldn't flare up. She always gave me several exercises I could choose from. At each visit, she would review the exercises with me and ask me which ones worked for me. My shoulders and knees are much happier now that I know how to keep them moving without pain. I highly recommend Rafaela and the PT staff at Healthwell.“

“Dr. Wong is phenomenal! I saw him after I had a hip replacement. He is a PT but was previously a massage therapist. He does a great mix of PT exercises and massage. He is helping me get back to walking without a limp and running again! I highly recommend Dr. Wong.“

“I came under the care of Marty Mattox after I broke a bone in my foot. I wanted to get back to training for marathons as soon as possible without the risk of reinjuring myself. The entire staff was great, from the people booking the appointment to checking me in to the support therapists that took me through exercises. Marty herself was very knowledgeable, extremely experienced, including with athletes and got me back to being me. On to the Chicago Marathon for me.“

“Already seeing the benefits of doing PT with Maral. Prior to meeting Maral, I had been living with foot/ankle injuries over the last 10+ years, always avoiding doing anything about it until it started really impacting my day-to-day, that is when Maral came into the picture and it’s been significantly better since working with her. I have had less pain and more mobility. She is thoughtful & kind (along with the whole Living Healthy team). Really enjoy coming to their office and wanted to extended a sincere thank you!“

“George is very friendly and helpful, I appreciated the detailed explanations about the exercises he recommended, and it definitely helped me get back on track.“

“I suffered two tibial plateau fractures and so was non-weight bearing for months. The recovery was difficult because of leg and feet atrophy. Four 4 months straight Joey took me through all the steps to recovery. Extremely knowledgable, convivial, empathetic and appropriately forceful, Joey is the best. I am back to biking and hiking.If you want to recover and be like you were, you should call Joey.“

“Scarpelli & Associates provide highly skilled and individualized care. Unlike some places, you won't be seen by a less experienced PT assistant for your care, only by very experienced and knowledgeable PTs who will assess your specific needs. All of the PTs are experts in manual therapy, which is so critical for regaining function (in conjunction with a specially tailored home exercise program). I have been to places where you just feel like the next person in an assembly line given the same treatment as everyone else whether or not it's what your body needs. That doesn't happen here. Also, the front desk staff are always very friendly and responsive. Highly recommend!“

“Daniela at the FiDi location is phenomenal. She is personable and provides focused, individualized care that shifts with my needs. I came to GSPORTS after seeing a PT at a different practice for the same injury, but not seeing results. I complained about one exercise in particular, and Daniela showed her mettle in explaining why it was helpful specifically for my injury, and supplementing with a range of more engaging exercises. She's also been great about providing letters to me documenting my need to take things slow while I heal. I'd come back to get care from her without reservation. The office helped me navigate my insurance eligibility with Aetna. While appointments here generally book weeks out, I recommend getting on the schedule and asking to be on the standby list to get in sooner.“

“I highly recommend Lands End! I’ve been a client for 6 months. I was specifically searching for a small practice and found this gem. Each visit I spend some time 1:1 with Micheline, PT and owner. I previously been to large studios where I felt like a name on a piece of paperwork.

I’m always able to get an appointment (!!!) and the young trainers communicate the exercises well.

I’ve made great progress according to my 6-month surgeon check- in. I hit my summer goals to get biking and hiking. I’m on track for my 9 month winter goal of skiing.

I really like the phone app that shows the weekly exercises to do at home as small videos.“

“Dr. Chan is awesome, he is attentive, thorough and the best PT I’ve been to in SF. The office is really nice once you’re inside - go down the hall and up the second floor. Super knowledgeable with the care he gave and made sure to follow up with me afterwards. He also did massage which was great. I actually left walking a bit better than before. Front desk and payment/insurance was easy. Some of these other reviews are really incorrect, don’t miss out on this great PT!“
