Good day, I am now 79 years old I've had a good life active able to come and go as I please. However, I now have a myriad of issues such as my knees and neck and balance and lack of strength and mobility Dr. Zack is incredible! Beyond his skills and knowledge of the human body, the old human body, is his patience and his kindness.. Thank you so much Dr. Zachary Peters read more

Words can not explain how talented Dr. Alex and Farzad are! I would like to begin by saying they are very knowledgeable and very informative. They explain what their doing the whole time. I've been having a lot of pain in my neck, upper and lower back, chest, shoulders, and hips from excessive MMA workouts and lifting heavy. In about 30 minutes they both took away all of my pain. I highly recommend taking time out of your day to seeing them! I promise you won't be sorry! Thank you again for your amazing work Alex and Farzad. read more

Alpha Fix - Them working on my messed up body! - Chiropractors Near Me

Doing CrossFit 5 days a week can be pretty taxing on my body. Despite warming up and stretching post workouts, I still experience tightness within various areas of my body. I came to Weekend Wellness Clinic (WWC) complaining of tightness/pain in my lower right back. After visiting the clinic for the past month, the tightness and pain has reduced, and it has been easier to move throughout my workouts. I could easily visit any chiropractor but I prefer a sports chiropractor because they understand how my body needs to move in CrossFit and which specific areas are more bothersome (i.e. traps, IT band, hip flexors, etc.), and this is exactly what I get from WWC. They are able to find my troubled areas and work on them. Not only do they provide adjustments but they also provide therapeutic massages and use other devices to relax the muscles. In the past, I've visited chiropractors and they only provide adjustments; no massages included. I also appreciate how WWC is open during the weekends. I work 40 hours a week in a hospital and coach about 10 hours a week afterwards along with a two hour commute time, which makes my weekdays jammed pack. Making it to any appointments during the weekdays are nearly impossible. Knowing that I can schedule my appointments on the weekend with WWC makes my life so much easier. I highly recommend visiting WWC for all your chiropractic needs. read more

I started seeing Drs. Alex and Farzad a few months ago for my hip pain from running. I am a steady 10-minute-mile runner who likes to run a few times a week for my health and well-being. Prior to seeing these two, my hip hurt so badly that I couldn't run one mile. I am now back to 5-mile runs with NO PAIN. They were able to help me when previous efforts with other providers in the sports rehab industry were not. I am so grateful. At first, I didn't like the idea of getting body work done during the COVID pandemic. But I was in so much pain and wanted to see if I would ever be able to run again without surgery, so I decided that trying the services of these two professionals would be my one regular health-related outing. I am so glad I made this choice. Their therapy room is well-ventilated with open windows, they keep their masks on the whole hour they are working on me, and they spray down the massage bench before I get on it. I feel safe and well-cared for in all aspects of my visits with them during these challenging times. I have already given their contact information to several of my friends who are looking for relief from plantar fasciitis, neck pain, and other ailments. Based on what they have been able to accomplish with me, I have a great deal of trust in their ability to help. read more

I'm very happy to have found WWC, they really understand how the body works and how it compensates. I grew up playing sports and have torticollis, and most providers fail to realize how that plays out into my body's alignment. Dr. Peters really focuses on what you need and creates a treatment plan that is personalized. He always listens to my pain capacity when doing foot and knee work, and that was critical for me because I don't want to dread coming in due to the treatment.  People don't realize that there is a lot of wear and tear on the body regularly, and when you have injuries or are active it's even more important. I really wish I had started earlier, but now I've found WWC, I couldn't be happier! Plus, with school and work full-time, I can't emphasize enough how much I value weekend appointments!  Thank you WWC! read more

I've only met with the Wellness Clinic once. But, immediately I saw how they were different from other practices. They took time to look at my fitness history and injuries and applied and action plan through that. In just one session, they loosened up my hips, decompressed my lower back which has 2 herniated discs (L5-S1, L4-L5). I am very cautious with people working on my lower back. However, they handled it with extreme care and professionalism. They didn't treat me like just another client. With a strong athletic background they provided me with treatment to support my athletic lifestyle. You want to bring a notebook almost when you meet them because they provide so much knowledge while treating you. Dr Alex and Farzad truly know what they're doing. I highly recommend you see them for overall better health, wellness, and recovery. read more

This is my first review on my firsts set of sessions with the guys. They asked me to write this one because they know I would say yes and because I'm super happy with the impact they have had on me. Happy to. I perform, coach and live on my feet. I know Small pain is big pain later. I came in after refusing twice. My right foot constantly hurt and I found my ways to manage it. Alex and Farzad didn't bore me or tell me I'm a special case. They just started working on me. Around at and beyond the problem. After the second session I started to not compare or complain. My foot is great and I feel like a sucker. My foot doesn't hurt. And I feel like I'm performing better in other areas. I've sent people that aren't suckers in and now they are suckers that feel better. Who knows ? I'll keep listening to what they say. And I'll write another review when they ask. -Landan read more

I just want to share some things about the customer service provided by Dr. Alex and Farzad: 1. They have done hours of research and critical thinking outside of our sessions regarding my physical dysfunction. 2. They have fit me in early morning hours and late after hours. 3. They have gone way over our scheduled time slot to work on me. 4. They listen and have enough humility to realize they don't always have the right answer at first glance. The service provided by these gentlemen is like nothing I have experienced before. I have seen dozens of chiropractors, physical therapists, personal trainers, doctors, massage therapists, and more. The service they offer is a combination of all of these practices in one in order to solve problems that others lack the patience and perseverance for. They are constantly learning and developing their skills. I am honored to work together with them to solve my dysfunction. read more

My Wife and I have been seeing Dr. Alex and Farzad since mid-2018. We stumbled upon them when I had bad pain and needed an adjustment right away. They were one of the only one that could accommodate me at the time and I boy am I relieved that we were able to find them. We have tried other chiropractors in the past and nothing compares to the service levels and attention provided by these two. It is not just a few cracks and you are out the door. They spend time assessing what caused any miss-alignments (generally an inflamed muscle, or very tight muscle) and treat that first before making any needed adjustments. They provide coaching and detailed explanations on any causes and what you can do to treat at home if possible. They both have sports backgrounds and are active themselves. They have seen and treated various injuries, so you are in good hands. read more

More than a year after having my second baby, my left hip and shoulder started to make a popping sound, on and off, throughout the day. I'm also someone who works out regularly. I needed someone that would address these issues-- post baby, and current tightness in my muscles. So I started coming to see Dr. Peters and Farzad, and they deal with just that. To date, I've come in after tweaking my elbow and piriformis/ back issues. I can say they help when baby carrying and general body soreness issues come up. Also, as I've started to increase the intensity of my workouts, I've really enjoyed the effects of general maintenance on my body. read more

These guys are awesome. They're very knowledgeable and helpful and were very well equipped to deal with my herniated disk. I've been in and out of physical therapy for nearly a decade and these guys gave me some amazing advice and recommendations for how to move forward with it. I expected just to get a massage, but I ended up getting a full diagnosis and an opinion that's definitely very helpful. They even gave me some exercises to do at home. My favorite part about all this is that they gave me recommendations for things to buy and services to use, but they didn't upsell me on anything. They just gave me some solid advice as people who just genuinely want you to be the best you can be. Expect thorough as hell service as well as an amazing massage. read more

Off the chart! About a month ago, I contacted Alex for sports massage. I was not looking for what they offered because I had NO idea what they offer existed. When I went to them I was quite impressed by the multitude of integrated therapy and rehab services they had to offer, their expertise, and their energy. I love their vision, a one stop shop with a holistic approach to restore body, improve mobility and treat muscle/nerve issues together. Their two on one body work is pretty effective. They are very much in synch when they work on your body and they get a lot done in one session. They are also fun! I went to them with a few problems including a relatively old hamstring injury and spinal stenosis surfacing due the injury. I had already gone through intensive PT for a year but didn't feel like I am quite where I needed to be. With a few sessions of work with Alex and Farzad, I am starting to feel the difference in my body, lower back pain, and my movements. The effective combination of "very well done" sports massage, customized therapies like muscle scrapping and cupping, deep stretching and chiropractic adjustments started to make my lower back tightness fade away and got me hooked... I only wish I had known these guys sooner! read more

Amazing doesn't begin to describe Dr. Alex and Farzad! I've suffered with knee, shoulder/elbow and lower back pain for years. In a few short sessions it is clear to me that they 1000% know what they are doing. Not only have given me significant relief and mobility, they have also educated me on my issues. I appreciate the fact that they listen and craft treatment solutions that are focused on my specific needs. There practices are cutting edge and I know that I am receiving top notch treatment. This deep level of knowledge, coupled with amazing customer care, will keep me coming back! I highly recommend Dr. Alex and Farzad! Bonus: their hours are a huge win for those of us with crazy work schedules. (And their humor is pretty entertaining as well!) read more

When I went to Maui I was expecting a lot of relaxation. Turns out that works until you bodysurf into the sand and the wave flips you over. The rest of my trip was lying on the beach with back pain. I heard about Dr Peters' practice a little bit after I came home and after going to another chiropractor. Dr Peters and his team really took the time to consider my injury and more before and during the treatment. This was a big contrast to other chiropractic treatments I've received, which seem to be a quick as possible. I really appreciated the consideration, time, and choices made. I had worried that I really done real damage to my back, but after this experience I felt back to normal in no time. read more

As a previous employee & client at other chiropractor offices, one of the most unique approach here that I have not seen before is that the chiropractor and the massage therapist works on you at the same time. A little bit about me: I am a body builder with multiple injuries; predominantly tennis elbow and shoulder impingement. These injuries have flared up many times during my prep for body building as I place heavy demand on my body. Working with the chiropractor and massage therapist here helps me feel better & continue to perform at the level I need to be at. Furthermore, I continue to learn more about my body, specifically managing and preventing more injuries. I plan on continuing to utilize their services in the future as preventing injuries and learning about my body is a lifelong goal of mine. Thank you for taking care of me! read more

Life changing experience! Alex and Farzad are extraordinary! I'm currently at the halfway point of their program to correct my posture. These guys are guiding me, educating me, training me, motivating me, and supporting me. They may be intimidating at times, however they are helping pull me through to reach our goal. For my serious situation, they have explained it's going to be really tough and they will work me hard. With that said, I was far warned and have accepted their challenge. It's a been a month now and it has been very, very hard! However I'm happy to say with their help, my dedication, and discipline, there's already a great improvement with my body. I feel very comfortable with them and I fully trust them. They are honest and only want's the best for my well being. They give great advice and they really know what their doing. I highly refer these guys. Truly a Dynamic Duo! Thank you Dr. Alex and Farzad, keep doing what you are doing! You guys Rock! read more

These guys are super knowledgeable, and they get the job done. I had an injury in April that's still giving me issues so I came in for a sports massage. Most painful hour of my life, but it was effective. Not to mention, the guys made it less like torture and more like hanging out with two burly friends who want to fix your body for you. read more

I have had a lower back injury (lumbar/sacrum) since November and Dr. Peters and Farzad CMT reminded me that I do not need to live in pain. The amount of relief I was able to have in 1 hour vs. what i have been experiencing was incredible. Dr. Peters focused on helping the injury, the referred pain, and different muscles/joints that were misaligned because of the injury. He communicated everything to me so I was able to better understand my pain and injury as well as made it a point for me to leave feeling better then the way I came. Between joint alignment Farzad massaged and helped with trigger point therapy to balance where and how I was being treated. I drove from Berkeley to visit Dr. Peters and it was worth every mile. It is rare to find an opening on the weekends especially where the individual is willing to take time to cater to my body, my experience, and my own personal physicality. This was a chiropractic opportunity that was holistic and individualized. The Weekend Wellness approach addresses the root of the problem and as a result I have felt better then I have felt in months. Thank you Dr. Peters and Farzad! read more

Hands down the best chiropractors I've been to. My past chiropractic experiences have been fine; it was usually a 5-10 minute ordeal to crack some bones with the ultimate goal of realigning the spine. However, I knew there should have been more discussion around muscles and soft tissues, the things that actually hold the bones in the right alignment. As a Yoga instructor, the lack of discussion of that had always been concerning to me. Alex and Farzad are exactly what chiropractic care should be about: a deep understanding of anatomy and kinesiology, friendly care, and fantastic in helping develop future goals. In one session, they had adjusted me in ways I never received from any chiropractor. They guided me through the various technologies and techniques, and described the way they interacted with my body. I felt and feel the difference. Of course it is not a one and done deal, but I feel like I can clearly see an end goal for my body and health. I felt very comfortable with them both. I can't wait to go back and am looking forward to more sessions. read more

I have seen Dr Alex and Farzad twice now and I can confidently say they are the best of the best. I used to be a ballet dancer so I've seen my fair share of professional body workers and chiropractors. Out of all of the ones I've seen in the Bay Area, these two cover the widest breadth of physical therapy services. I honestly feel like I have a new body when I walk out of here. The neck adjustments are painless and kind of addicting in a weird way. I could see myself putting it in my calendar as a recurring invite. I live in San Francisco and took the Caltrain down for both appointments. Worth the trip! These are my main impressions: 1) They have the right kind of experience. Both Dr Alex and Farzad have athletes' and coaching/education backgrounds. They know the human body and personally work out a lot (they're both in amazing shape as individuals) so I felt confident in their familiarity with my musculature. Dr Alex used to do many neck adjustments in his chiropractic fraternity just to get the practice in. Don't worry, he's got his 10,000 hours in a long time ago. Your neck is in great hands. He also knows how to adjust the force he uses to be appropriate for your head size, body type, overall profile. For instance he very precise with me since I'm a thinner Asian woman, and he used his thumbs beneath my head to evaluate exactly what he needed to do, with no wasted movements and very exacting motions. There was my guesswork in his touch. I just knew I was going to be taken cared of. Dr Alex also did a lot of research on ergonomic optimization for the best postures for employees who work at desks. Have him tell you a bit about his thesis. If you're lucky he'll tell you about the optimal desk height, chair height, and elbow-to-keyboard forearm angle to prevent injury and keep the body at peak performance over the long term. 2) They patiently answered my questions about this weird shoulder crick in my right shoulder blade. I have gone to umpteen massage therapists hoping they can get rid of it. None of them have ever broken down for me what was "clicking" in my shoulder when I rolled it up, back, and down. Dr Alex and Farzad knew right away what it was and even had a little anatomical 3D model of it to show me which muscle it was, and how the tightness of that small band was cause a clicking feeling as it pulled against a bone in my shoulder blade. (I went home and Googled a bit after their explanation and found that I had a tight supraspinatus, in case anyone was wondering.) They shared that it can be fixed with a few treatments and what can happen if I don't treat it (it calcifies and well...it never goes away, and I lose mobility. *womp womp*) I fully plan on coming back in and trying to fix it before it's too late! 3) Dr Alex and Farzad are both smart, super handsome (like, seriously attractive), and very friendly. They're also best friends and they make you feel like one of the gang. They're great. Go see them. read more

Miracle workers! Dr. Peters and Farzad are pure Professionals and masters in their craft. They are very in tune with their movements and application. As a professional athlete it's easy for me to ignore the pain and discomfort of everyday training but some things just can't be ignored and I'm thankful to have such an amazing duo to help me improve in my sport. read more

I have chronic shoulder pain and I have tried everything to reduce the pain such as yoga, acupuncture, gentle stretching, physical therapy. These two guys are godsent magicians. They helped me so much with my pain and also taught me how to manage the pain. Thank you guys!!! read more

Alex And Farzad are magicians, they blend Physical Therapy, Chiropractic and Osteopathic treatments in a unique way and the results are incredible. Working with them brings the same level of treatment you would have if you were part of a professional NFL team. They focus on results and make sure they improve your condition. They go the extra miles by providing you with massage ball, cryogel or even help you set up your car seat to improve your position. What the majority of people don't understand is that muscles and articulations need attention and sometimes having a tension somewhere is the result of a knot in an other muscle and breaking the knot is something very painful. They will work with you to break those knots and release the tensions in your body, you will not find any similar result with other practitioners (you would actually need 3 practitioners to reach the same level of treatment). I wish I knew them before and I keep recommending them to anyone who needs help! read more

Alex and Farzad are the best! I highly recommend them for anyone with shoulder pain, neck pain, back pain, you name it!! I had really bad pain in my left shoulder and neck, and even loss of sensation in my left arm. It was even getting difficult to walk or sit upright because the pain was so intense. Working together, they healed me without medicines or needles. Their knowledge and skill, applied with a combination of tools and experience is rare in all my research. More than a chiropractor, more than a massage therapist, you get the best of both working on you simultaneously!! Plus, they are nice guys who clearly enjoy working together. Because their location is inside a gym, they are able to also integrate workout exercises that strengthen the body to prevent future injury. And a great selection of music too. read more

Due to having a desk job and most of the time being stationary, I was experiencing neck pain, which caused me to have occasional headaches. I was referred to the Weekend Wellness Clinic by a friend. I scheduled an appointment online which was easy and convenient, so I had everything ready to go when I arrived at the office. I liked how Dr. Peters not only fully explained everything but was also able to pinpoint my areas of pain without me having to point them out myself. After my first adjustment, I have a full range of motion with my neck - such a relief. Aside from his top-notch adjustments, Dr. Peters is also a wonderful person. Genuine, professional, and down-to-earth with a sense of humor. He builds rapport easily with all his patients, and he sincerely cares about each patient's well-being. His CMT, Farzad is also very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I've had several chiropractors in the past, and I can say that Dr. Peters and WWC is a rare gem. Highly recommended! read more

These guys are amazing! I've had a ton of therapy for my back and neck over the years, and this was one of the best experiences I've ever had. By combining multiple tools and techniques into one session you really see quick and lasting results. The team is always super friendly and attentive, great experience. read more

Tl;Dr: can only say great things about the staff, the location, the experience, and well, the treatment. To expand: 1) They are actually open during the weekend - answer the phone, take new appointments, new patients, the full deal. My wife got injured on a Saturday (hike, toddlers, history of back problems, ...). At around 4pm, we realized it was only getting worse, and she needed to see someone - she was in extreme pain, could barely walk. Her usual place was closed, we called ~3 other places on yelp that were supposedly "open at 4pm on Saturday", but could not even get anyone on the phone. WeekendWellness clinic answered immediately, and at 5:20pm scheduled her for a 6pm appointment. 2) Went above and beyond our expectations. 6pm was their closing time. Despite that, they were extremely through and did more than any of our previous experiences: assessment, massages, chiropractic adjustments, heat/cold, various devices to ease the pain, or get the muscles to relax... My wife had troubles walking in, was almost crying in pain and couldn't really stand in a straight position. When we left around 8pm, she was walking fine, smiling, and most of the pain was gone. 3) Reasonable pricing. In our previous experiences with urgent care or weekend clinics we always ended up paying a significantly higher price for the urgency, while getting a "sub-standard or barely ok treatment" at best - just the minimum to get us going. Not the case here. The price was higher than our usual weekday places, but not exceedingly so, and the quality of the experience (from booking to treatment) was among the best we've had. Their aim seems to be just like any normal clinic, which just happens to be closed a few days a week in exchange for being open during the weekend. 4) Don't let the lack of reviews set you off. Although the staff has experience from traditional weekday clinics, their weekend clinic has only been around for ~2 months at time of writing. Finding them was hard, I almost gave up calling due to lack of information and fear of stumbling on yet another urgent care/weekend treatment kind of scam, with poor treatments and extremely high prices. read more

Dr. Alex and Farzad has exceeded my exceptions at each and every visit. My husband and I agreed that the treatment plan offered here is better than any chiro/PT we've been to. We've been here for stiff neck, back, calves, hips, shoulder pain and they have always been able to adjust our problems in a just a few visits or less. I personally would highly recommend them because I would go in with a problem and walk away like I just had a Thai/deep tissue massage. Totally worth it every time. read more

Wow!!! Simply Wow! I have been looking for a chiropractor in the Palo Alto area for ages. I am so lucky to find Dr. Peters and his awesome team. I have been suffering from neck pain that radiates down my arm forever. And I have had lower back pain / sciatica too long to remember. I have seen acupuncturist, physical therapist and pain management doctors. They all worked to a degree but Dr. Peters really gets in there. I mean Wow! I feel like I have a new shoulder and neck! They definitely spend more time then the chiropractor I have seen in the past--deep tissue, massage tools, taping and spine adjustments. My lower back feels great. I don't feel that sciatica. I am extremely appreciative they are open on the weekends. I would agree with the other yelper the price is reflective of the level of care. read more

Didn't know how tense and inflexible I was until I met these guys. I've had problems with inflexibility since high school, but since it never caused me pain, I didn't think much of it. I started to get neck tension in the past few years and deep tissue massages only helped temporarily, but came back soon after. I visited Alex and Farzad after a recommendation from my personal trainer. Within a few sessions I realized that the reason muscle tension never bothered me was because my entire body was tense and I never knew what it felt like for my muscles to loosen up. The actual massage and therapy is very intense and can be quite painful, but it's completely worth it for the results. It helps a lot that Alex and Farzad are super friendly and the sessions can be pretty fun in spite of the pain. Highly recommend, give them a call. read more

I've been experiencing consistent lower back pain. So I started visiting Weekend Wellness Clinic because I do not have any time during the week. Dr. P has been treating me twice a week for 4weeks muscle work and adjustments it has helped me tremendously. These guys rock! read more

Alex and Farzad are legit. Professional and have proven to be very effective. I've had cronic lower back pain and they have helped me tremendously. Highly recommend them. They are also super accommodating with time and dates read more

These guys are amazing, have always got me in on a moments notice and have kept me injury free. I feel like I'm going to a full body shop with two experts working on your body and tending your needs. I always recommend The Wellness Clinic to all my weekend warrior athlete friends.staying healthy is key to always enjoying the outdoors! read more

In a word: AMAZING! I've suffered with lower back pain for the better part of 10 years and more recently began experiencing headache inducing shoulder and neck pain as well. I've gone to many physical therapists and chiropractors and have never had such an in depth appointment. Dr. Peter's took the time to run me though a series of exercises to analyze my movement before he treated me. Once he began treatment he was extremely knowledgeable, and thorough in explaining what he was doing and why. Dr. Peters literally took care of me from head to toe, I left feeling less pain and more mobile. I look forward to continuing treatment with Dr. Peters and Farzad, and finally getting to the root of my discomfort. I'm so grateful to have found WWC! read more

Both of these doctors are really fantastic. The experience that you will have working with these two doctors is something that takes sports rehabilitation to a whole new level. If you're serious about your recovery/mobility and are willing to tolerate a bit more pain than you've probably ever experienced I'd highly recommend scheduling an appointment. These sessions are not cheap but the trade-off is that you really see some amazing results immediately after and will be given things to do to maintain your changes. Both of these guys literally waste zero time during the entire session because they want to make sure that you're getting the absolute most possible out of your session. Do not hesitate and try to look elsewhere for your mobility. They combine everything you need to see the best results possible. If you're looking for something exceptional, this is that. read more

Dr. Alex and Farzad treated my knee with a mutimodal approach. I arrived limping and left able to walk straight and pain-free. Awesome sauce! The particulars: Both men are very professional in their demeanors and explained everything they were doing beforehand. I was asked regularly to rate my discomfort/pain and was told to let them know at anytime if it became unbearable. They identified and focused on all areas of my leg which were contributing to my knee pain. Pro tip: Wear/bring mid-thigh length shorts for leg work. Bonus: WWC accepts payment by Flexible Spending Account card. read more

Farzad and Alex are amazing! I went there for back and neck pain from stress and they helped relieve a lot of the tension and pain. They're very knowledgeable, professional, and personable. They're also cautious and safe when it comes to health of their clients, especially now with COVID. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family. You won't regret going to them, they'll make your experience go smoothly as well as make you laugh! read more

If you are a busy workaholic and don't have time to go to multiple appointments with different kind of physical therapists or chiropractors, Body Shop is the best place for you. They have two professionals specializing in chiropractic treatment and PT that allow you to enjoy the benefits of diverse disciplines after one single appointment (~1 hour). read more

Extremely impressed by the work from Alex & Farzad. They are both highly knowledgeable & go in depth about the techniques they are using. I was having shoulder pain & upper back stiffness from doing Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu, with only one session my shoulder stiffness is significantly better. The techniques they were using were extremely effective. I would highly recommend everyone athlete or not to come check out Weekend Wellness clinic. I will definitely be back 100%. read more

I came here twice to help with some minor neck pain and posture issues. The initial appointment was fantastic -- Dr. Peters walked through potential causes of my problems and how to avoid them in the future. Then, he walked through several exercises and stretches that I can do to maintain posture even after the correction. During the appointment, Dr. Peters was very informative and always asked if I had any questions. He walked through the science behind most things we did and spent a lot of time to make sure my problem was address. I highly recommend Dr Peters and this staff and I have nothing but good things to say. read more
