I highly recommend them for PT and would definitely work with them again (though hopefully I'll be healthy enough that I never have to!). What stood out to me was the level of expertise, professionalism, and kindness I received from everyone I worked with, from the physical therapists and assistants to the front desk staff. Dr. Medina's calm demeanor was a balm for my jangled nerves when I first showed up--and she helped me through many months of recovery after foot surgery. I also had the pleasure of working with Dr. Diehl, who always patiently answered my many questions, cheered me on, and made me feel relaxed with his easy bedside manner and sense of humor. I even got to work with Dr. Gee a few times when he covered for folks who were out, which was fantastic because I got a fresh perspective on my issues. The PT assistants Claire, Kyle, and Amara were super helpful and friendly. And, of course, Nina was the delightful "face" of the business when I came through the door and opened my email, no matter how many schedule changes I needed to make. When we come in as patients, I know it can make us feel vulnerable, maybe even a tiny bit broken (I recall Dr. Diehl replying to that sentiment by saying I was just slightly and temporarily bent, not broken :) ). Despite that feeling, or even because of that, I encourage folks to show up open to the experience. For me, the more I was willing to connect with the good people at G-Sports, the more I got out of it. Thank you for helping me unbend all my bent parts, G-Sports! And good luck with your PT, everyone! :)

While guiding me through the exercises, he makes sure that I do them in the way that engages the right muscles by gently pointing it out when I miss the mark and by being the best cheerleader when I get it right. I feel encouraged and motivated when I work with him. The other staff members of the clinic are also unfailingly friendly and kind.

I had tried online mobility programs, but I needed personalized guidance to make real progress. I was matched with Roland Jenkins in 2024 and have been seeing and feeling progress ever since (hello criss-cross applesauce sits!). He helped me improve my mobility, build confidence in the gym, and taught me how to modify exercises for my body (especially as someone who is only 5 feet tall). I've also worked with Lo (Lorraine), who has been equally knowledgeable and supportive. Thanks to Pro+Kinetix, I'm now lifting weights confidently, running again, and moving without the limitations I had only a few years ago. They didn't just help me recover but they taught me how to move better for life. If you're considering physical therapy, don't wait. The team at Pro+Kinetix genuinely cares about helping you reach your goals, whatever they may be, and I'm incredibly grateful for everything they've done for me.

I've had an excellent experience working with Dr. Matteo at Pro+Kinetix. Before starting PT I was…read morestruggling with limited hip mobility due to having had lower back surgery and being sedentary in my 9-5. I wasn't seeing the progress on my own that I would have wanted. Dr. Matteo created a personalized treatment plan tailored to my specific goals and took the time to understand both my mobility challenges and overall fitness objectives. He gives me practical education and exercises that I can apply outside of our sessions at home and at the gym. What really sets him apart is his ability to make each session engaging and fun while still pushing me toward meaningful progress. I've seen improvements in my hip mobility and it's also motivated me to keep consistent. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in your success, I highly recommend Dr. Matteo.

I am an avid runner who attended over 10 sessions of PT with Dr. Lin at The Technique to address a…read morechronic foot tendinopathy, which was preventing me from running. I hate to be the first reviewer leaving less than 5 stars, but given that PT is a major investment, I felt I should be honest about what worked and what didn't work for me during my treatment. What worked: -Dr. Lin has excellent bedside manner and generally makes his patients feel at ease during treatment. I can tell he is also a well-trained massage therapist with expertise in various techniques. -Dr. Lin takes a holistic approach, isolating not just the symptom but root causes that may stem from various parts of the body. -The practice was well administered and Dr. Lin's assistant Milly is fantastic. What didn't work: -The holistic approach felt like a double-edged sword, as it caused my treatment plan to lose focus. At its peak, my plan had over 20 PT exercises. When I expressed to Dr. Lin that this felt unmanageable, he suggested alternating 10 each day. But this still felt unwieldy and I couldn't do all of them while really focusing on form and progression. I later switched to a PT with a different approach, identifying a highly specific biomechanical chain of events that contributed to my condition. He prescribed just ~3-5 exercises a week with a keen attention to detail. Ultimately this led to a much better outcome for me and I'm now back to running at pre-injury levels. Of course, for other conditions, Dr. Lin's approach may work better than it did for me. -I felt that, at times, my feedback wasn't fully considered. After about 8 sessions with Dr. Lin, my condition re-flared and it was bad enough that it was inhibiting my sleep multiple nights a week (to be clear, this was unrelated to our work together and unfortunately is just a part of my injury). When I expressed concern about my progress at that point with the hope of adjusting my program, Dr. Lin focused his explanation largely on anxiety, leaving me feeling that my concern itself was unaddressed. Also, after about 10 sessions, I noticed that his massage approach felt too aggressive for my injury and wasn't really helping, rather it led to more next-day soreness. When I expressed this, he did reduce the massage intensity that particular session but unfortunately returned to the previous intensity the next session.

Rob Lin is an exceptional physical therapist. Rob and his entire team are patient and welcoming,…read moreand his 1-on-1 work is phenomenal. If you have the option, I cannot recommend The Technique enough. I knew when I signed up that working with him would be an investment, and it is one I am so glad I made. I came in with an injury that I have been struggling with for 4 months. I had been seeing another PT but I had repeated setbacks during my recovery. I was in consistent pain and I wasn't improving. In 3 weeks or so, Rob has gotten me to a place where I can function again and even push my physical limits. He is kind, reassuring, and his hands-on work has consistently made an obvious impact. Immediately after getting off the table, I feel less pain and improved stability that last. His work on me has allowed me to push further during session and during at-home exercises, which he's tailored based on my feedback. TLDR: I've already recommended Rob and The Technique PT to friends struggling with injuries and would urge anyone to book a free in-person consultation. Rob is amazing and I look forward to every session. I can't thank him and his team enough. -Raya (she/they)

Ki is seriously the best! Last year I started having pain in my left hip and lower back (I suspect…read morefrom sitting too much at my desk job). A massage therapist told me I had a tight piriformis muscle but I didn't know exactly how to address it, except with short-term pain relief. Even though I have insurance, I came to Opus Physio because I wanted someone really great, who would work with me one-on-one in every single session. In my initial assessment, Ki quickly zeroed in on the fact that I had a muscle imbalance where my left hip muscles were weaker, causing the piriformis muscle to work too hard and start acting up. Over the next few months, he helped me bring my strength back up on my left side so that it is comparable to the right, and I haven't had any pain since. Ki is super knowledgeable, kind and patient. I felt like I could ask him any question and his explanations were always very thorough. He helped trouble-shoot any other issues that came up as I went through the exercises. When my treatment ended, I felt like I was equipped to maintain the improvements I had made and go on to have a normal workout routine. I highly recommend Ki if you're looking for someone who can diagnose you right away, create a tailored treatment plan and is attentive to you in every session. If I ever have any issues in the future, I will definitely come back to Opus Physio.

She was very welcoming and helpful in working out a good time to come in for an initial consultation. When I came in Deena asked me about the injury and listened patiently to my "theories" and concerns about it. She then suggested several exercises and movements for the finger and the reasons behind them, many of which were brand new to me and fascinating - e.g. that scar tissue can sometimes fuse with tendons but that carefully directed massage can unfuse them (had No idea...). I had forgotten to mention in our initial phone call that I also had a groin pull and she again gave me some thoughtful suggestions to follow for that. (We had a shorter session because I had arrived quite a bit late (!) and her next appt was waiting). The useful information, and perhaps Most importantly, peace of mind I received in talking to her was invaluable and "would" have been well worth the hourly rate but when I inquired about the best way to pay her she informed me that she was "gifting" the session to me - a very unexpected and generous act. All I could say was that I would "pay it forward"... (perhaps it goes against discretion/etiquette to share that Deena has a positive and real manner, she listens easily and gives thoughtful, in-depth and informed advice. I absolutely recommend her.

Gretta and my therapist worked well together to expedite my healing. The training helped me to use the exercises my therapist gave me, supplemented by exercises Gretta suggested, much more effectively than I would have been able to do on my own. I continued working with Gretta after my therapy had ended not only to keep but to improve the strength I'd gained. I enjoyed the training so much I now work with Gretta on a weekly basis and have for over a year. My balance has improved, my muscles are stronger and my endurance has increased. Gretta is wonderful! She consistently goes above and beyond for her clients. She is exceptionally friendly and easy to talk to. She makes me feel very comfortable. Gretta adjusts the training to fit the pace and needs of the client. She listens to my concerns and goals and comes up with a program that works for me (how much time I want to spend, etc.) to help me achieve those goals. Gretta consistently invites me to email her throughout the week if I have any questions. She is professional and efficient but also a lot of fun and the time goes quickly! I look forward to our training sessions. On a scale of 1-5, Gretta deserves at least 10 stars!
