I had never had Rolfing and was looking for someone experienced to help me work through significant…read morebody pain associated with long term stress. I am so glad I found Allie! I purchased a set of 10 appointments (at a discounted rate), and I am so glad I did. Rolfing would not have been effective for me as a one time appointment. I had a lot of residual pain and chronic inflammation that I needed consistent help with. At the start of the process, Allie was very thorough in reviewing my specific needs and what I was hoping to address. There's a lot of discomfort in the moment during Rolfing - I am not going to sugar coat it - it is intense. At the same time, I am so glad I stuck with it. Allie begins each session checking in and following up on the last treatment - she wants to know what works and what needs more focus and adjusts her plan accordingly. After each session I am more steady on my feet, more flexible and coordinated (which I have been missing) and less inflamed. And I am able to handle more pressure with less pain as the sessions progressed. I am on session 8 and I have seen a remarkable difference in my body and it is due to Allie and her thoughtful approach. She's great!!

She spent a lot of time explaining her approach and really tried to get to know what was going on with me and my body. She is a most attentive and caring practitioner. I initially sought out acupuncture to help with elbow Tendinitis. After a series of weekly visits, my pain disappeared completely. More interesting to me was the fact that other maladies I was having also magically went away including a case of IBD that I have had for years. Her Tui Na massage technique is great as well. Shermie is a real find and I cannot recommend her enough!.

I came to Dr.Zhao recently due to headaches, pain radiating upward towards the back of my head,…read moredizziness and pain on my shoulders and neck. I was able to call and book a same day appointment. Dr. Zhao is a retired doctor who works 3 days a week (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays) because of his passion for healing and fixing people's health problems. I was in tears because I was in so much pain and so dizzy. He calmed me down and told me he would fix me up! He used a combination of acupuncture, cupping and body/spine manipulation. He recommended a pillow and some pills for me to take home. Dr. Zhao is not cheap, the appt with everything costs $400! ($250 for each session plus initial first time $50 fee) I was still not better so I came back in two days. He poked me with needles and moved my neck around. I do feel better after I have seen him but I think my problem is too far gone with my neck. It's years of posture, sleeping wrong, stress, anxieties that have built up these muscle and neck tightness that is so hard to get rid of. It's been 2 weeks since I saw Dr.Zhao and I'm still not 100%. However, he did a lot to help me, he is a kind and patient man and ever since I saw him, I can breathe soooo much better and deeper. I felt like I couldn't breathe very well before I came to see him. I like him so I also took my husband to see him. He's been having right shoulder/back pains for years now, who knows where it comes from. Could've been the car accidents or work out wrong. After 1 session with Dr. Zhao, my husband is feeling a whole lot better. He still feels the area is a little off but his pain is completely gone and it's been a whole week so far. He was in so much pain! I highly recommend Dr.Zhao for all your ailments. There is no quick fix to any health problem. You need a combination of meds (possibly), lifestyle changes, exercise/stretches, stress reduction etc. Dr. Zhao can propel you there but you have to do the rest yourself too. For example, I'm doing more neck exercises now which I have never done before and I work on the computer 8 hours a day. I have changed my pillow to an ergonomic one. I'm being more MINDFUL in general of my neck and how it responds to my anxieties and stress (it gets tighter). Dr.Zhao sure is expensive but he is a healer and a good one.

Because the muscles in my back have adjusted, I have to go multiple times. And also because this place is located in SF, I had to try other chiropractors, due to the distance. I have tried 3 other chiropractors from berkley to fremont. All did the same thing-crack your neck, back and hips. The same exact way. While I did feel a little better, I could've cracked it myself. I finally gave in because those people couldn't do it and weren't listening to me, so I went back here today. Zhao knows what he's doing. You tell him and he will fix it for you. Other chiro will try to get you on a subscription plan to come 3x a week, blah blah blah (especially the ones who partner up with kaiser). You only need to come to Zhao once or twice and you are good. They do charge a a little more than other places, but it might be worth it for you. They only open Tuesday, Thursday and Sat as of now, but yoi can call and they will answer even on their off days. Call early, because they were booked for the whole day the last time I called. Also, check the area first before you come here because parking is a hassle. I really miss this place.
