I came in needing PT for tendonosis in my elbow and a slap tear in my shoulder. Their staff was very friendly, competent, and welcoming. There is ample parking at the location, and the facility was clean and efficiently organized. There is plenty of room for mobility work as well as a good layout for an appropriate level of discretion. Even when they are busy, they try as hard as possible to work with your schedule. The staff are very good with contacting you if you are on the waiting list for an earlier appointment. Seena was very knowledgeable, considerate, and a great listener. She helped me overcome my injury limitations and get me back into a normal lifestyle. read more

I had an appointment for a sore Achilles. A new therapist, Stuti, was amazing, and owner Cindy Dehan checked in on me. They are very thorough and attentive as well as skilled. Highly recommend. Meg Neville read more

I signed up with AMPT after having shoulder surgery for labral repair at the end of December 2015. I blindly scheduled sessions with Megan, because her schedule allowed for visits after 6 PM, which is the only time that worked with my schedule. My experience with Megan and Active Marin Physical Therapy could not have been better. Do not be fooled by Megan's youthful spirit and energy - she has plenty of experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as a number of patients who used my same surgeon for their orthopedic maladies. Her hands on approach and carefully documented physical exam performed during each visit gave me confidence that my shoulder was healing appropriately. She was very patient with my numerous anxieties related to my rehabilitation and did not brush over any of my concerns. Being an MD myself, I appreciated Megan's evidence- and data- based approach to my treatment, but it was her personalized approach to my care which made her an excellent therapist. I was quite active and strong before my surgery, and Megan tailored my weekly rehabilitation goals to my specific abilities rather than a standard print out for the average person in my situation. I am now almost 6 months out from my shoulder surgery and couldn't be happier with my progress. I will be recommending Megan and AMPT to any of my friends or patients who are looking for excellent physical therapy in Marin County. read more

I went to Cindy because I was looking for a PT in Mill Valley so I could avoid going to the city and being away from my business. I had a really bad rotator cuff tear from a motorcycle accident that was repaired 5 months ago. After finishing my PT at another place in the city my shoulder developed a really bad impingement and I was in a lot of pain again. Cindy did a very thorough examination and spotted many issues that my other PT did not. With the help a few exercises she added to my rehab program my impingement is going away and my shoulder is feeling much better. Cindy is an amazing specialist. I have worked with several PT's since the accident and she has been the best one. You can trust that with her you are getting the best service possible. Thanks Cindy :) read more

What a find. Jason is a wonderful therapist - smart, intuitive, kind. Our cousins started there and told us about the staff/ facility - easy parking, great location. read more

Active Marin is a superb organization and understands how to develop a very effective program of therapy that makes a big difference in my rehab program. Seena Philip goes way beyond the formalities and has really cared about sustaining my exercise program as part of my lifestyle. She understands what activities are effective and has really made a difference for me. Seena really cares about the wellness of her patients. She has given me advice, encouraged me to try many approaches and carefully monitor and adjusts programs. Selena's positive and caring personality made a difference as well and I encourage patients to reach out to her for sound and caring advice. read more

Jenni Someillan is a master at her craft. I have had a shoulder issue for more than 10 years, and Jenni has peeled away the layers of scar tissue. My muscles are getting stronger and my symptoms are decreasing with every session. Active Marin PT offers a relaxed environment, with private therapy rooms. I really appreciate that I get the entire 45 minutes with Jenni, rather than spending part of my session with an assistant, going through my exercises. read more

After an initial ACL patellar tendon reconstruction surgery, I developed ongoing chronic pain with no indicator as to underlying causes. I came in to see Cindy Dehan at Active Marin Physical Therapy and attribute her thoroughness, attentiveness, and personalized care to getting me back on the right track. Instead of telling me to do more PT as previous physical therapists and surgeons suggested, Cindy recommended I get another opinion to see if there were mechanical issues leading to my experience of pain rather than just attributing the pain to typical downsides of using a patellar tendon graft. Since Cindy's initial recommendation, I have needed to get three additional surgeries due to problems with the initial ACL graft placement/surgery. I continue to be grateful to Cindy for her capacity to take my pain seriously, attune to my specific body, and think beyond the easy answer towards whole health. I would highly recommend Active Care to anyone! read more

This is my second visit to Active Marin for two different injuries, and both times my experience was great! My most recent visit was with Seena and she was not only incredible nice, but very helpful! I hope I don't ever need to return, but if I should ever again need Physical therapy, Active Marin will be my first (& only) stop! read more

I have had disappointing results from physical therapists in the past, but Cindy at Active Marin Physical Therapy has done amazing work with my lower back. I was scheduled to have a steroid injection when I first started working with her, but cancelled my appointment because her combination of in-office work and at-home exercises resulted in such a dramatic improvement. Also have to give some applause to Kate at the front desk who took the time to answer my insurance related question at length and in very helpful detail. read more

Active Marin PT is the best. Justin Newcomer is fantastic! Great understanding of my pain and issues and developed a step by step easy to follow therapy plan that got me back from level 10 pain to feeling amazing and pain free. Justin does a great job of explaining the blocker or restrictor and works with you to understand the problem and show you the movements and exercises to address each issue. I was really in bad place physically when I showed up and I feel so much better, more flexible, more range of motion, and way better posture. Highly recommend Justin to anyone in pain or in need of physical therapy! Thanks Justin. You're the best! read more

This is the second time I've gone to Active Marin for PT. My shoulders are unstable and I unfortunately had a subluxation after not working out enough during shelter in place. Hanna Olson was my therapist and she did a wonderful job of leading me through sessions that included exercises, stretching and sometimes heat or gentle massage. They are following COVID precautions closely. I got my temperature checked every time and all the equipment was cleaned before and after use. There was usually only 1 other client there at the same time. I felt comfortable and safe. Thanks to Active Marin, I am back to my "normal" workouts! read more

Megan is absolutely the best physical therapist I have ever had. It is a pleasure coming to her. She is like an osteopath, physician, massage therapist, and physical therapist all in one. She has helped guide me initially when I came to her with thoracic problems, manipulating my vertebrae, using cupping with these amazing cups, showing me exercises to do that are not overwhelming, and massaging my back. Ultimately, while seeing her for that, I came down with floating cartilage in my knee. She was the first to let me know what was going on when my doctor didn't even figure it out! She has been instrumental in letting me know which steps to take at every step of the way. I wouldn't go to anyone else and I have recommended her to all my friends. read more

Active Marin PT: I have the pleasure of working with Seena , Cindy and staff for the past year.Attention to proper exercises, communication between client and therapist, one on one treatment,parking, location, friendliness and cleanliness are key to me after my previous poor experiences with physical therapists. Seena is absolutely wonderful and has a careful approach to working with you. I truly enjoy the time I spend at Active Marin, I have increased my knowledge of body alignment, gait and wellness. I have had hip arthroscopy procedures with a subsequent hip replacement, Seena will see to it that I will recover nicely. They deserve 10 stars in my book!! read more

I have the highest regard and gratitude to Justin Newcomer at Active Marin. I am headed for my 2nd knee replacement after he adeptly got me through the first one! Add his knowledge and listening skill with his keen insight into my needs, my personality, and my abilities and the results have been a huge relief of both anxiety and pain. I've confidently recommended him to others. Their results mirroring mine. I continue to recommend him highly. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but after so-so treatment which did not resolve my neck and shoulder pain and lots of bills later, I am super disappointed with this experience. I was referred here for a specific treatment (which I never actually received) and the billing situation was difficult. The person I was working with ended up leaving in the middle of my treatment. I was told she was going on vacation, not leaving, so that was a surprise. I also had an appointment begin after the scheduled start time and end before the scheduled end time. This seemed a bit odd. The appointments are pretty pricey so I was not very pleased with this. After I decided to stop going (since it was not helping) I started getting bills. They ended up increasing my bill based on how much my insurance company gave me, claiming that I should not, "Make a profit on their services." Trust me, I did not make a profit AT ALL. Their billing person is quite rude and not gifted in the slightest in terms of customer service. I am happy to pay medical bills that make sense, but her explanation and her suggestion that I was trying to "make money" off their services was insulting and completely untrue. I wish I had just privately paid for the tension release method. I know a chiropractor who practices this and she devotes so much time to her patients for a totally reasonable private rate. It is all upfront and clear because she does not accept insurance. The owner is very reasonable and reached out to make things right. I really appreciated this. Their office manager is friendly and helpful as well. I wish this had worked out better for me! read more

Finding smart help for a chronic problem isn't easy, but Cindy Dehan knew exactly what to do to sort out my back pain from my posture, my exercise program and from my diet. We discussed all the things that could be influencing how I was feeling, and one by one, as each area was tweaked, I felt better and better and better. Having a steady guide, as well benefiting from her amazing manual therapy skills which constantly reinforced my alignment with awesome hands on work, made me realize that this is what I'd needed for a long time. If you want an integrated practitioner who is wise beyond her years, and definitely asks the hard questions to assure change, and has a wonderfully creative and smart approach to care, call Cindy. I couldn't have been more pleased and I'll definitely return! read more

Cindy Lewton-Dehan the founder of Active Marin PT has created a wonderful small studio environment for physical therapy. I was fortunate to learn about them and signed up with Liz Giometti one of her staff physical therapists. I have been very active my whole life and at the end of May 2015 had to have a full replacement of my left hip. My goal post-op was to return as soon as possible to ultra-distance cycling and golf. I was fortunate to have surgery using the newer anterior approach which does not cut any muscles and translates to faster recovery time. Liz worked with me and provided tremendous help and relief during my recovery. Along with the recovery from the actual hip replacement I had a moderate sized hematoma from the surgery that of course needed to be absorbed. As part of the absorption process gravity causes it to drain down and collect in the calf, ankle and foot causing a lot of intense discomfort. Liz helped tremendously with that and provided manipulation for my calf and ankle which did wonders keeping me walking and moving smoothly as part of my recovery. Liz is not only highly skilled but also highly personable with an outgoing and animated style. She is an athlete herself both past (college basketball) and present (mountain and road biking, etc) and implicitly understood my concerns as an active person. She asks excellent questions during her work-up and as important as anything else, she is an outstanding listener, integrating what she heard from me back into the physical therapy session workouts. Due to the workouts, as well as the exercises that Liz prescribed for me that I did on my own, I am happy to say that along with my doctor's okay, I was back on my bike (on the stationary trainer) after two weeks. At four weeks I was back on the road cycling in west Marin. And, as of tomorrow, 9 weeks post-op, I have been training enough to ride in the Marin Century! Active Marin PT is well run and filled with great staff. Liz, Cindy and Denise the office manager are a great team and I recommend them highly for your PT needs. Gary read more

I have worked with Cindy at Active Marin for many years now, and for many different parts of my body. Each time, I was given a set of exercises to do at home which have always speeded up my process of healing. The exercises even include videos! In this current climate of the pandemic, the entire studio has shown the utmost care in keeping us safe: masks, the wipe down of all surfaces and social distancing by the non-therapists. My current set of exercises, along with learned massaging techniques, have actually solved my problem, which means that I can now practice at home. I have always been treated with respect and my concerns have been attentively addressed. Any questions I may have had have always been answered, often times with reference to anatomical illustrations. I would never go anywhere else! Thank you, Cindy! read more

As a professional cyclist, taking care of my body and being in the best form I can be is my job. I went to Cindy with severe chronic back pain due to winged scapula and abnormal spine curvature. She worked with me to develop a set of exercises I could do daily to help improve my flexibility and strength and counteract the negative position I put my body in everyday while training and racing. The work she has done with me has helped my posture, reduce pain, and improved my performance as a cyclist. Cindy is extremely dedicated to what she does and will go to whatever lengths necessary to help her patients! read more

I am so happy that I found Active Marin Physical Therapy! I have some unfortunate issues with my back that come and go and now I have a place that has helped educate me about the spine and how to take care of it! I think I have seen everyone there and they have all been FANTASTIC! Cindy and her crew know their stuff!!! read more

Jenni was superb at determining the right stretches & strengthening exercises for my situation. She provided patient and nuanced instruction. Outstanding physical therapy experience...it definitely is helping me. Thank you Jenni, and thank you to the friendly, efficient office staff. Wonderful, professional, supportive environment! Cindy, you've done beautifully in hiring exceptional people. Jenni, thanks again for helping me & making such a positive difference. All the best to you! read more

The actual PT was good (I might rate it higher if I hadn't already started on my own and apparently made good progress with what I'd already identified needing to do). The problem I have with Active Marin is just communications. After my primary care physician referred me, I received 6 calls in 1.5 days from Active Marin to schedule an appointment. I asked them to please stop calling, as I work for a living, and couldn't handle the sheer volume of their calls (that was filling my vm!) and to trust that I would contact them as soon as I had the time. I kid you not: immediately thereafter, I got an email (instead of a call--creative!) about scheduling an appointment. Nonetheless, I proceeded with the PT because front office issues, while they impact client experience, aren't the core service. Again, the PT was good. Although, Active Marin kept pulling up my old files from several years ago, and thus lost record of a same-day payment for an appt. So they double-charged my next visit. Good thing I caught it. I declined the option to just let the credit ride and requested a refund. It turns out I didn't need my final appt, so I cancelled according to their terms (which I believe are important to respect). And so the calls have started again: do I need an appt? I asked to be removed from the call list. Again. I run a business, so I understand the need for clients, but this is not the way. I don't hound people to hire me. It's about their need, and the quality of my work. I honestly think it's worth driving into the city next time I need PT, because I simply can't handle the pressure from Active Marin to fill their calendar. It's like a part-time job managing their incessant calls and emails. read more

Cindy was referred to me by my orthopedist. She is a remarkable therapist, very knowledgeable and skilled esp. for injuries of hip and lower back. I cannot recommend her highly enough,and she is far superior to other therapists I've gone to. read more

Such a warm and welcoming place! I felt truly taken care of at every visit. Great culture! Justin is a truly great PT!! He's incredibly knowledgeable and patient. It was obvious how intently he listened to me and I felt my physical therapy was highly collaborative. It was wonderful to know we were working together to solve a problem. I'm coming out of this experience not only stronger but smarter! Thank you Justin!!" read more

Cindy solved 4+ months of SI joint pain in one session with some simple exercises, stretches and an adjustment that popped my pelvis back in place. My pregnant self could not be more thankful for her help as I approach labor/delivery. read more

"I'm so fortunate to have found Active Marin and their caring, professional staff. Seena and Megan are top of their class with the knowledge, enthusiasm and commitment to helping their patients. In the 4 weeks of PT, I've gained incredible mobility and progress in recovering from a elbow fracture. Thank you! read more

I had shoulder and bicep surgery 6 months ago and couldn't be more pleased with my PT experience and results at Active Marin. My primary therapist, Justin, is extremely knowledgeable and provided great one on one care. From day one, he took the time to listen and thoroughly answer all of my questions. His calming disposition was reassuring and it helped me maintain a positive frame of mind througout my therapy. Every in-office treatment session was productive and was followed by an updated home exercise program. He had a genuine interest in understanding my goals and helped develop a longer-term exercise plan for me once I could return to the gym. I also appreciated the friendly service that Kate provided at the front desk in helping with the insurance process and scheduling my appointments. I highly recommend Justin and the team at Active Marin! Tim O. read more

Cindy has been my physical therapist for several injuries - lower back, sciatica, and currently hip bursitis. Thanks to Cindy my lower back pain and sciatica is healed and the hip pain is reduced. She is truly an intuitive, gifted healer. She is very thorough in her examination, identifying issues that my doctors didn't even see, and then works her magic from there. She looks at the big picture...not only does she offer soothing treatment during the visit, but provides stretches and exercises to do at home, including take-home descriptions and pictures. One thing I really appreciate is that Cindy is a wealth of information on almost everything - what and where to get rehab/exercise tools, equipment and active wear, to bedding, to other specialists. She takes a proactive long term approach to good health. I am forever grateful for finding Cindy and highly recommend her. read more

This is a place to heal and be nurtured. Seena is caring and compassionate. She is also experienced & is very hands on. Above all she listens! The facility is light and airy and has a good vibe. I feel very fortunate to have found Active Marin PT. read more

Stuti has been excellent! She has pinpointed my pain areas and her manual therapy has been great! I very much look forward to my PT sessions that are setting me on the road to recovery quickly. Thanks Active Marin! read more

Just finished up almost 2 months of PT with Justin. Couldn't be more pleased with his assistance, advice, and help. I went in with acute back pain related to a herniated disk. He quickly identified the problem and outlined a routine to improve. Everything we did, he clearly explained and answered any questions I had. We was encouraging, patient, and well informed. I have seen multiple chiropractors, doctors, and physical therapists over the past several years, and i genuinely feel like he was most helpful. I feel the most prepared to continue the work I need to do outside of PT to maintain a healthy back and lifestyle. Would recommend to anyone! read more

I know this place has wonderful reviews, but for me it was the opposite. I had two therapists who both were not great. One diagnosed me as a "quick fix"l when I have developmentally worse osteoarthritis. The other merely massaged my knee each time with very few exercises. I had gone here before and was trying it out again since its reputation is so strong. I now am with an outfit who is intent on rehabilitation and a focused exercise program. I do NOT recommend Active Marin. read more

I have had a great experience at Active Marin. Had hip replacement surgery at UCSF, but wanted to do PT close to home. My goals for recovery are nothing short of perfection. I am still working at it, but am pleased with my progress. Very professional and caring team. read more

Cindi Dehan and her team are incredible therapists!

Seena, the physical therapist from Active Marin came to my home after I had a big surgery. I had a leg brace with limited mobility. She did a complete safety home eval and showed me how to shower, toilet, use my walker, and made equipment recommendations. She showed me how to improve my strength, even though I will be mainly bed bound. She was very professional and gave me piece of mind that I was doing things correctly. read more

Dylan is the best! Okay, well, technically he's the ONLY physical therapist I've ever seen but I've had a lot of massages in my day plus personal training so I think I can make a statement like that. I went to see Dylan after spraining my back (falling UP the stairs - how klutzy is that?) After just my first session I went from a near constant ache to much, much better. His hands-on technique is great -- he knows how to get at those achy muscles! And Dylan is methodical in explaining the exercises he wants you to do - he demonstrates them first and is kind but thorough in correcting your form. If you need pt or just a great massage, I highly recommend him. read more

I met Dylan after straining my IT Band while training as a runner. I had invested a couple of months working with another PT in San Francisco, but realized they were not the office for me as the PT would meet with me then turn me over to an assistant - a different assistant - every session. My experiance of working with Dylan is that he was present, focused and perceptive and I particularly appreciated his holistic approach to overcoming my pain. I am back to running 6miles pain-free and so very grateful to have experienced such a high quality of care. read more

My 12 year old daughter saw Justin for tendinitis in her foot. She is a competitive soccer player so we wanted to make sure she knew the best way to rehab so that she could return to the sport. Justin was extremely knowledgable and was excellent at communicating with both my daughter and me. He was even willing to answer a few follow up questions on the phone a week later. I highly recommend Justin and Active Marin!! read more

I have worked with Jenny for several weeks now and she is extremely talented and knowledgeable about scoliosis. She has been cupping my back which almost immediately relieved the muscles that were in spasm for months. My posture is changing and she has such a gentle way with the work that is subtle and difficult. I'm deeply grateful. read more
