I would address my accolades specifically to Jimmy, my PT. He was smart, knowledgeable, and adjusted my treatment plan based on my progress, and his rehab plan and treatment helped me, and now I am 100% recoverd. Jimmy is also a good listener, humble, and a nice guy. Should the need arise, I would not hesitate to come see him again.

Dr. Ariana was super attentive and helpful in addressing my back pain and providing knowledgeable guidance and effective exercises. I felt comfortable going to their office from my very first visit. I experienced noticeable improvements in my back pain and mobility. I also saw long-term improvements in my posture and overall everyday physical comfort. I highly recommend Alameda Physical Therapy to anyone seeking knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective care. Their dedication and expertise in helping their patients truly set them apart.

I cannot recommend Spine and Sport Chiropractic highly enough for chiropractic care!…read more From our very first meeting, Dr. Davis Nguyen stood out by his patient engagement in wanting to understand my background and the chronic pain areas and functional limitations I have struggled with for many years. Dr. Nguyen provided a comprehensive physical body functioning exam and a total-body approach treatment plan. He noticed all the little things; from how I walked into his office, my posture and carried that precise mechanical detail into his functional exam. When asked to do basic turns and bends, I did not even realize I was overcompensating with other areas of my body. His extensive knowledge of the kinetic connected chain opened my eyes to the big picture of my entire body. Through his recommendations for advanced diagnostics, he has helped me connect with other providers for long-term care alongside my chiropractic treatments. His clinical expertise with intricate joint alignments, including the knees and spine--especially regarding highly precise neck and lower back adjustments--is bar none. He is incredibly mindful of my comfort levels with certain delicate alignments, and I feel physical relief from chronic spine issues and pain. The adjustments have helped improve my symptoms and mobility, complementing my other treatments perfectly. The level of communication, compassion, reports and care coordination is unmatched. He checks in, sends helpful reminders, and shares and shares the goals we all want to improve our joint function and movement for a better quality of life. Dr. Nguyen is truly one of a kind!!

This review is long overdue. I've been coming here since September 2025 -- first for pilates, and…read morenow also a gym member. Pilates: I love attending the reformer classes, particularly Alba's and Jessica's, but I've attended most if not all of the instructors' classes and they've all been great. The weekend classes do get kind of quick so it's better to book in advance. Gym: Clean, never packed (at least when I go). I always find space to stretch with no issue and have never had to wait for what I need. People put their weights back. There are spray bottles and cloths to wipe what you use after. The bathrooms are clean, and the red light sauna is a treat (honestly my deciding factor for adding the membership lol). I've yet to use the cold plunge or the showers. You get $10 off when you have more than 1 membership. I had a billing issue in the beginning and they were very responsive and helpful. All together I pay $164/mo for both. The lack of a parking lot is a mild inconvenience, but street parking is hardly an issue with all the residential streets with free parking around Park. Great gym!!

This gym is hands down one of the best I've been to. It's always clean, well-organized, and…read moreequipped with everything you need--plenty of machines, free weights, and space to work out comfortably. Even during busy hours, it never feels overcrowded. The staff is friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell they care about creating a positive environment for all fitness levels. The atmosphere is motivating without being intimidating, which makes it easy to stay consistent. I can't recommend my personal trainer (Katherine) and Rise highly enough! From day one, they've been professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my progress. Every workout is well-structured, challenging, and tailored to my goals and fitness level. They push me just the right amount while always making sure my form is correct and that I'm training safely. If you're looking for a trainer who is reliable, encouraging, and results-driven, this is absolutely the one. Worth every penny!

After 10 years, I came back to Kevin. 10 years ago, I saw him because of an MCL twist. It was an…read moreold injury, he helped me to recover fast, and he sent me to a Chiropractor in Oakland for adjusting the loose knee, since this is not his speciality. Because I worked in SF finance district, I found a person who does chiropractic and acupuncture. I keep going nowadays every year. He's the only doctor I trusted because he was so good. However, 6 months ago, because of work stress, and led to be fired. My nerve system was completely messed up. I didn't recognize how much the stress damaged my body. Every night I slept in pain, woke up with tensed body and sore and painful muscles. I went to see the person in SF a few times, and I couldn't believe it didn't work after lots of treatment because it has been working with me for the past 10 years for my knee, shoulder, and hip pains. A few days ago, I realized it's the stress that completely messed up my nerve system. And I need to find someone to help me relieve my nerve system. Because of the realization, I thought about Kevin immediately and booked an appointment with him. I went in today, and he wrote down the notes for the pains I had, and he wrote down his plan with a few hand movements in the air to see which part of my body should be treated first. Patiently, he gave me treatment, and after each one, I walked outside his clinic, and I could tell my turns got faster and the pace got bigger. One of the major pains is in my left leg, left hip, one of the gentle adjustments he made, after 1 s, I stood there see my body turning 7 times on the left naturally without any pull from anybody. Finally, that side got relieved, my hip rotated back to where it was supposed to be. The back of my knee was swollen with a big ball. The acupuncture didn't take it away completely. Kevin told me that the front muscle was rotated outward. He made a few adjustments, and when I put my leg down from the stool, I felt like someone was pulling my leg down with a soft landing, and I could feel and see myself standing like a normal person without leaning to the left. Neck and shoulder were the biggest pain I had, and Kevin started with that area as the 1st treat. Immediately, my shoulder went down, headache was removed. If you like me being stressed. Try it out here. It's worthy you time, and it really heals.

Update as of September 17, 2025…read more I already shared my first review on Google, but since they only allow one per account, I didn't want to delete it just to post again. So I'm sharing this update here on Yelp instead. I will only use my first name and it's Sonja. I've been seeing Dr. Reed Coast for several months now for my foot injury, and what really stands out about him is how warm, gentle, and kind he is. The way he communicates with you as a patient, the way he evaluates you, and the way he explains things so clearly, it all helps you feel confident about making the best decision for your care. He's very personable, and that makes a huge difference when you're in constant pain and dealing with different doctors. In the past, I've seen other providers for the same injury, and I just didn't feel like I got the same level of care. But with Dr. Coast, I actually look forward to my visits because I know he's going to be hands-on and really present. I appreciate that so much. When he walks into the room, you never feel rushed. He doesn't make you feel like he's just trying to get through your appointment and move on to the next person. He sits with you, listens with intention, and takes the time to explain your treatment plan in a way that makes sense. He lays out your options and helps you understand what's going on with your injury. Every time I leave his office, I feel grateful that he's my doctor. Dr. Coast's staff is truly a reflection of the care he provides. From the moment you check in to the time you're brought into the room, every one of those ladies is kind, professional, and welcoming. They always greet you with a smile, and that makes all the difference. It sets the tone for the visit and helps you feel at ease, even when you're dealing with pain or just not feeling your best. I always enjoy chatting with them during my appointments. They're easy to talk to, genuinely sweet, and their positive energy makes the whole experience better. It's rare to find a team that's both efficient and caring, and I really appreciate that.

I can't recommend Dr. Banks enough. I came in for my first appointment with a long list of…read moreissues--plantar fasciitis, IT band pain, lingering calf strain, and tight hip flexors/TFL. Within two days of my first visit, I noticed a significant improvement in all my above symptoms. As an example - the plantar fasciitis pain that had been troubling me was almost completely gone, allowing me to walk pain-free and even forget I had it to begin with. As a first-timer to this type of treatment, I really appreciated how Dr. Banks took the time to explain everything step-by-step and even coached me on breathing techniques. What's also great is not only does he offer the Graston Technique, but he incorporates chiropractic work if needed as well, so you're really getting the whole package here. He's incredibly professional, attentive, and tuned in to the specific pain points his patients are dealing with.

She does an excellent job of connecting the dots and figuring out the root cause of an issue and working from the bottom up. She knows her stuff. She is very experienced in the modalities she uses. I can't recommend her enough. She has a great deal of knowledge. She doesn't throw you a bunch of exercises - she targets what exercises would benefit you the most. I have gone through multiple PTs and am highly selective with whom I work with. Karen is the real deal. If I have future injuries, I know to see her because I know Ill get the best care I can get. Her staff are wonderful as well. Thank you Karen for being a part of my treatment team.

Dr. Tang is a gem in Oakland Chinatown - he's the latest in a long line of traumatologists (in…read moreCantonese "Tiet-Dah") who learned how to treat injuries from his father, who learned it from his father, back a couple of generations! Turns out his dad has his own clinic a few doors down! Simon trained in Hong Kong, lived here for a couple decades and thus speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, and English pretty fluently. He is great at what he does and charges reasonably for what he can accomplish. Today's visit for my chronic neck injuries lasted about 30-40 minutes (I didn't keep track of time but it was less than an hour) and involved some history taking, examination, education on specific exercises I could do for wrist and shoulder injuries, then a focused deep tissue massage, and application of a heated herbal poultice. Dr. Tang has a great bedside manner and is focused (he massages each tenderpoint for 1-3 minutes, on a timer). All this for $80. He's much better than the Tiet-Da doctors I went to in Hong Kong. In general, daily treatment for acute injuries can get you better within a few treatments (depending on severity) and longstanding chronic injuries typically resolve with daily treatment for about three weeks. I've had some promising results, I will be back tomorrow!

I'm not sure what this was. It was not Chinese Tui Na, which is what Mr. Tang said he provided when…read moreI asked. It was more of a vigorous deep tissue massage that was focused on the area of pain and stretching and lasted maybe 15 minutes. He then applied a poultice. There was only one pot on his stove, and he didn't do any traditional tongue or pulse diagnosis, which tells me it's something he "prescribes" for everyone with pain. I did not get any pain relief from the treatment. I am disappointed because I wanted and expected Traditional Chinese medicine but got some other kind of hybrid treatment. Maybe it works for some, but, unlike what I love about Chinese medicine, and like what I don't love about western medicine, it seemed too limited and impersonal for me. However, Mr. Tang himself is very nice.
