She works tirelessly to uncover the root of the issue and create solutions that are specifically tailored to each child. She is passionate about her work and also instills such pride in the children she works with. Myu child leaves each session with Dr. Shelley beaming and motivated like never before. In just a few short months, already there is already a significant improvement in my child's speech. Dr. Shelley was able to identify the underlying motor-based challenges and provided targeted exercises that finally addressed the core of my child's difficulties. His school teacher even reached out to share how much improvement she's seen, not just in my child's speech, but in terms of confidence in the classroom and with peers. Watching my child go from frustrated to confident and happy has been incredible. We are beyond grateful for Dr. Shelley and the life-changing impact she's had on our child.

I started working with Kate about three months ago after feeling unsatisfied with the progress I…read morewas making at another clinic following a serious elbow surgery from a bike-car accident. From the very beginning, she closely monitored my condition and developed a targeted plan to help me regain my range of motion. When we first began, I had only 30° of active extension and 110° of active flexion. Under Kate's guidance, I progressed to 10° of active extension and 135° of active flexion -- and I'm still improving, even after undergoing a second surgery. What sets Kate apart is not just her clinical expertise, but her genuine care for her patients. During what was a really difficult time for me, she consistently found ways to encourage me and keep me motivated with my exercises. She always took my concerns seriously and maintained open communication with my surgeon. That attentiveness proved to be critical -- by accompanying me to my surgeon's office, she helped uncover a bone-related issue that was restricting my movement, something that might have gone unnoticed for much longer without her. This discovery led to a second surgery, and I am continuing my recovery with her support. Kate is without a doubt one of the most professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate physical therapists I have ever worked with. I'm truly grateful to have her in my corner.

Santa Barbara is incredibly lucky to have Precision Hand Therapy and Kate Silverman. After…read morerelocating from LA, Kate has become my go-to hand therapist for complex recovery. She gives you hope and delivers real results -- from straighter fingers to better wrist mobility and less pain. She truly knows her craft. Why I highly recommend Kate Silverman: * Exceptional skill + advanced training -- She understands even the most complex hand, wrist, and finger injuries. * Real improvement -- My mobility, strength, and flexibility have all measurably increased. * Specialized tools -- Ultrasound and other professional-grade modalities that make a big difference. * Hands-on release techniques that work -- Some of the most effective I've experienced. * Collaborative approach -- I work with two hand specialists, and Kate adds unique insight and additional techniques that complement my recovery. * Great with new or older injuries -- Whether you're fresh post-surgery or years out, she finds ways to make progress. * Sessions are helpful and even enjoyable -- She's warm, encouraging, and deeply knowledgeable. * Worth the investment -- This is your hand/your function. Getting it right matters. If you're dealing with hand, wrist, or finger issues, don't wait for your "rainy day" to become a storm. We rely on our hands so much -- investing in expert therapy makes all the difference. Kate is a rare find, and Santa Barbara is fortunate to have her.

Jessica steals money from her patients and refuses to provide the service they paid for or refund…read morethem. She charged us for a package of 5 sessions for hand therapy and after the first few sessions just stopped answering our calls or messages to book the other appointments we already paid her for. The only way to ever get a hold of her was to call from a no caller id number and then she would say shes just been so busy and will contact us soon with times for an appointment. Then we never hear from her. It's now been six months trying to get a hold of her just to book the sessions we've already paid her for. She refuses to provide the service we paid for and refuses to refund us for the money we paid her for a service we never received. She is dishonest and a thief.

She runs her own practice which means you're not sitting in a waiting room for her to finish with a patient. You get the sense that she really cares about you not only as a patient and a person as well. Her treatments are sensitive and caring. I feel like she knows how to make you go to just the right amount of exercise and does not press you beyond what you should be doing. It's a peaceful and quiet environment as well. I'm sorta Krull she started her practice recently because the place my hand doctor wanted to send me is so busy and impacted that they could only see me once a week versus the twice a week he had prescribed. She's just a genuine person and has all of the gizmos and things that make your hand feel better and get back into shape.

I've walked in limping after trying to let time fix things and walked out normally. She's also developed an energy healing system based on acupressure that has helped me heal from PTSD.

Working with Alli has made my overall wellness routine more effective and balanced. My goals are a long-term sustainable healthy lifestyle. Alli asked critical questions to learn about my health and fitness goals and listened to the areas that challenged me. We developed a simple weekly workout routine (including gym and outdoor activities, e.g., hiking and surfing) focused on the balance my body needed for weekly and long-term wellness. I am grateful for the four assessment tips I am mindful of in all activities. Without seeing Alli, these adjustments would have taken me years to realize and implement on my own, if ever. For that, I would have paid double. I suggest seeing Alli for an assessment, whether you are resolving a known challenge and or looking to improve your ability to explore our beautiful landscape via your passions.
