She is an exceptionally knowledgeable…read morephysical therapist who combines clinical expertise with a genuine, enthusiastic passion for her patients' progress. Susanne was my PT during my rehabilitation following a hip replacement, and her guidance made all the difference in my recovery. Any time an exercise wasn't effective or felt right, she was quick to adjust and modify it, always ensuring my therapy was both safe and productive. She clearly explained what I could expect at each stage of rehab, which gave me confidence, motivation, and peace of mind throughout the process. Susanne consistently demonstrated the highest level of professionalism while also bringing such positive energy and encouragement to every session. Her enthusiasm for her work and her patients is truly unmatched. I am deeply grateful to have worked with such a consummate professional and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of physical therapy. ---

Dr. Lauren Malachowski is not simply a physical therapist. She will go the extra mile to ensure you…read morehave the motivation needed to achieve your goals. When treating my long-term knee pain, she tailored an achievable step-by-step plan enabling me to return to distance running. She listened through my skepticism, factored in the daily realities of life, and designed a program tailored to my situation. This dynamic, personalized approach to physical therapy was just what I needed. If you're looking for a physical therapist who genuinely cares about you and your recovery, then you are looking in the right place!

Lauren is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING in all aspects. She is incredibly intelligent, super personable and…read morehighly effective in her methodologies, which all sums up into making her the best physical therapist I have ever encountered. I met Lauren in 2015, after I tore my left ACL and had ACL replacement surgery. Prior to seeing Lauren I saw two other physical therapist, which at that time I thought was fine. I showed up, they gave me some exercises, I did them and went on my merry way, not knowing any better, until I had to go and take a functional fitness test and failed miserably. At that time, I was living in SoCal, but luckily for me I took a contract job that took me to the bay area. When I moved, I had to find a new physical therapist and that's when I found Lauren. From my first appointment I knew that she was the perfect therapist for me. I am a very demanding and straight forward person and told her right off the bat what I expected and what outcome I would like to achieve. I knew I needed to pass the functional fitness test, that became my primary goal. However, I've always been an avid runner and a group fitness instructor so improving my running pace and becoming leaner and stronger were my secondary goals. Lauren never hesitated and confidently reassured me that she will get me to where I want to be. In the span of 3 months I went from experiencing knee pain with every movement to being able to lift weights, complete intense plyometric workouts, and running 8min/mile for up to 4 miles. Lauren was able to get me into better shape than before my injury and in the process, I lost 12 lbs without even thinking about it. Lauren goes above and beyond for her patients. She texted and called me regularly to check up on me and ask me for updates on my knee pain. In the 3 months that I worked with Lauren it never ever felt like work. I looked forward to going to my sessions and actually miss it when I am not able to keep my appointments. Lauren not only made a huge impact on my recovery but has also become a huge part of my life and her genuine care for me has turned us into friends. If you want someone who's all in and who takes your recovery as if it's their own, I wouldn't choose any other therapist. I whole heartedly believe that Lauren is the BEST PHYSICAL THERAPIST out there hands down. I recently tore my right ACL and ended up having another surgery to replace this one as well. I now live in SoCal again and cannot see Lauren for this recovery. I have Kaiser and am forced to go see Kaiser therapists, and all I have to say is that I've been disappointed with their level of knowledge and expertise, commitment to my recovery and overall effectives in providing me the proper care and treatment. I honestly, wished that I could move back just so that I can see Lauren again because I know that 3 months working with her would be more effective than years with another therapist.

I cannot say enough good things about Samantha! As a 32-year-old who has struggled with chronic…read moreback and neck pain, digestive issues, and menstrual irregularities, I had tried so many different treatments before finding her. From my very first session, I knew I was in the hands of someone truly gifted. Samantha is not only incredibly knowledgeable about acupuncture and holistic healing, but she also has an intuitive sense of what your body needs. She listens deeply, asks the right questions, and tailors each treatment to address both the symptoms and the root causes of your discomfort. Since seeing her, my pain has significantly decreased, my digestion has improved, and my cycle has become more regular and manageable--something I never thought possible! Beyond her expertise, Samantha has such a warm, calming presence that instantly puts you at ease. Every session feels like a reset for my body, mind, and nervous system. I actually leave her office feeling giddy! If you're looking for an acupuncturist who is truly the best, look no further. I am beyond grateful for her healing work and can't recommend her highly enough!

Major continuity of care problem, please call your insurance if you are having problems with Active…read moreMarin PT switching out insurance rapidly at the end of 2025 or billing you a ton for appointments you booked before 12/28/25. I learned this behavior is not allowed and violates both patient notice requirements as well as Continuity of Care laws and No Surprise laws in the state of California. Forcing a post-surgical patient in severe pain to make a rushed financial decision at the front desk is considered administrative coercion and poor medical ethics. I had foot surgery in mid November and was referred for post-surgical PT for hip and low back at my 12/22/25 follow up with my surgeon, due to issues that developed from an uneven gait in the walking boot. I contacted my insurance for referrals and was referred to Active Marin PT as well as a few others that were IN NETWORK. I was in pain and not sleeping well, so when I called Active Marin PT on 12/23/25, and was booked in for eight appointments beginning 12/29/25, I was very relieved. In my booking call, I provided my insurance information and Active Marin PT confirmed they were IN NETWORK. I showed up, in pain, on 12/29/25 and was told verbally that Active Marin PT had ended their contract with my insurance the day before, 12/28/25, but Active Marin PT would file something called a "gap form" on my behalf to bring their services back IN NETWORK. I was very confused as I had been booked for eight (8) appointments before they ended their contract on 12/28/25, and because PT was part of my post-surgical care. And I had made sure with Active Marin PT that I was IN NETWORK. I was induced to continue with care because Active Marin PT stated a plan (the "gap form") to deal with their contractual changes so my services would be covered In Network. Importantly, no one from Active Marin PT contacted me BEFORE of my appointment to explain they had cancelled their office's contract with my insurance (Blue Shield of CA, not a small provider) and obtain my consent to different charges or give me alternative options. I was instructed to keep my three appointments that week and wait out the gap form, and frankly I was in terrible pain that was making it hard to walk, and needed help at that point. I have since learned that the medical provider must give written notice to all patients when a master insurance plan is changed. I also learned that the Continuity of Care doctrine means my care continues for a period of time at In Network rates due to the booking date of 12/23/25, and I learned about the Post Surgical Care laws. Both laws disallow Balance Billing, or upcharging the patient to enrich the medical practice above what insurance allows. I followed up daily on the "gap form" both with my insurance and with Active Marin PT; after the first week (3 appointments) I became concerned about the lack of progress and I cancelled the rest of my appointments. The reception did not seem to have a handle on when or how the gap form might be resolved. I also asked how billing was going to be handled and no one seemed to know. I moved on to an In Network PT who is great, but I had to wait a while to get in for care. Active Marin's behavior cost me additional time in pain. Flash forward - not only did Active Marin PT NOT bill for the three visits at In Network rates ($15 per visit for me, total $45), they Balance Billed a total of $590 for three appointments. Before I knew the laws, I offered to negotiate the bill. Per my insurance, these appointments would have cost me $15 per, or $45 total. I offered $250 (5X what my bill would have been to try and be fair) in resolution. While I understand business contracts can change, Active Marin PT owed me full and complete disclosure of this change BEFORE booking me in for 8 appointments, taking me on an emotional roller coaster while in pain, confusing me with insurance jargon, and forcing me to start my care over, all while Balance Billing and violating California Continuity of Care Laws and California Post-Surgical Care Laws. Active Marin PT refused to even discuss the problem or work out a solution with me, instead inserting their billing coordinator into a quasi-lawyer position to go back and forth with me. It is important for the community to take extra steps with this business and triple check insurance contracts have not changed before each appointment or risk expensive and fake Balance Bills and a dismissive and rude attitude. If this happened to you, please file a complaint with your insurance company so you do not pay false and expensive Balance Bills like I did. I am out $590 and a lot of headache due to this bad behavior.

Ewa is the one of the best physical therapists I've ever come across - and the only one who's…read morereally been able to help me at all with the chronic pain issues I've got from several sources. I was a little skeptical at first because the name sounded a bit funky, but it's actually Ewa's initials (Ewa Zaborosky) - and turns out to be a great predictor, in a way, as well as a great marketing device. This was indeed "easy" rehab - as these things go. Ewa has a wealth of knowledge of different sources of physical (and balance) problems and solutions, and a kind and gentle way about her that has been hugely helpful, unlike some of the "drill sargeant" types I've seen before. She has a very lighthearted and playful sense of humor that always brightened the day. Most importantly, she actually got me restrengthened without aggravating other problems, which is really saying something - and helped me tremendously with the balance issues. The exercise portion of her work is primarily Pilates-focused, which is a marvelous system for both athletes and regular people of all ages, but she also brings in many other techniques. This is not "sports medicine" PT that looks like typical commercial gyms, and is thus much more helpful for those with issues like arthritis, along with strokes and various other nonorthopedic problems, but even injured athletes would benefit tremendously, since that system was initially developed for elite dancers. For those times when the kinks just won't work themselves out, and early in the course of therapy before physical exercise is appropriate, Ewa is exceptionally skilled in hands-on techniques, and has a marvelous articulating table that really helps keep the pressure off the bad parts and keep everything at angles that work best. She has truly got magic hands, and a range of other soft tissue modalities that together seem to just smooth away pain and stiffness. She holds a PhD in physical therapy (I hadn't even known such a thing existed!), and is always going to different continuing education classes, so you are always assured that she is up to date on the latest. Sue is also a very skilled therapist who was equally helpful in other ways, and Iona, the receptionist, and Jeff, the fitness trainer, round out the regular crew, all of whom are always just terrific and as nice as can be. They also offer private Pilates lessons and a monthly membership that allows ongoing use of the facilities once discharged from formal PT, which is quite a bargain considering how few local gyms even allow access to the Pilates equipment at all without signing up for expensive classes, which, once you know what you're doing, are just not necessary all the time.
