Best experience ever at Kauno. If you've gone to traditional PT or OT places (like Select, or other big box offices), you'll be in for an amazing surprise at how awesome Kauno is. It's truly meant for athletes or the "athletically-inclined" to regain mobility and strength after injury or surgery. I had a left wrist break and subsequent ORIF surgery, and have been working with Candice to rebuild (my jazz hands, included!) The whole staff is exceptionally kind, and they took my insurance! read more

In need of PT again and called today. Someone picked up this time but confirmed they do not accept Medicare or MediCal insurances, even though their website says they accept "most" insurances. Guy was dismissive and hung up on me. read more

I have been working with Lindsay at the Inner Richmond Kauno location. She is very capable and pleasant to work with. She's flexible in adapting to my circumstances which even my referring doctor hasn't yet precisely diagnosed. After a few weeks she prepared a status report for the doctor which was very helpful. Kauno has a good vibe, not really a gym and certainly not a hospital. It's comfortable. Making/changing appointments with the therapist is very easy using their online scheduling system. I've had a good experience there. read more

Love this physical therapy location! I've worked with two different therapists for two different injuries over the last couple of years, and both times I've gotten great exercises and guidance here. It was recommended by a friend who also had a great experience. I've been to so many PT offices over the last decade for various injuries, but I was always frustrated when I was only working with assistants or aides and barely ever saw the PT. I was also frustrated at other places that only used cold therapy and massage to help my issues without a piece of workout equipment in site. I'm active, and I respond best to strengthening muscles and tendons, so I knew this was the right place to come when I walked in and it looked like a gym. Great staff and great 1:1 therapy with physical therapists! read more

I'm working with Allyson who is great. She is always on time and the place itself is bright an pleasant. Parking is easy for their Geary location. I feel like I'm in good hands with them. read more

Kauno PT with Dr. Lindsay has been a great help to my recovery from knee surgery. The site is convenient, clean, and attractive. Dr. Lindsay is super well informed and effective. I recommend her very highly. read more

I have been getting PT for hip arthritis for several weeks. My therapist, Dr Candice Lee is obviously knowledgable, professional, conscientious, and fun. While I suspect I am en route to a total hip replacement after decades of road running, she is helping me set goals to improve joint strength and range of motion. The facility is clean and well-equipped. Street parking is easy. They dealt with all my insurance challenges. Easy online booking. I don't have anything to compare them to as this is my first PT experience, but I feel lucky to have found them! read more

Very nice environment and equipment. Payment is easy by setting up auto payment. Their online portal is also convenient on making new appointments or canceling existing ones. Allyson did good job on helping me to recover my lower back pain. read more

Excellent experience after a few weeks weeks of care. My PT exercises have helped issue tremendously. Nice people and easy to be with.

Very caring knowledgeable PT - Ryan is thorough, patient, and caring. The facility is clean and well-equipped, anyone I've interacted with has been really nice. Their patient portal is really easy to use. Definitely recommend this location! read more

Facility is very clean and pleasant. My PT, Lindsay, always make sure if my progress is aligned with my goals and she is patient. I recommend this place and her to anybody needing PT. read more

Decent. The exercises are good and the 1:1 format is valuable, but I think this place really misses the mark in the "therapy" front. No ice, cold therapy, EMS, or anything to help you recover after your session. There's no air conditioning and sometimes no towels. Kind of a flat vibe too. Very quiet and any excitement or energy comes solely from the patients. It's a good place to do exercises if your issue is non-surgical. I wouldn't come here for post-surgery PT. They just don't have the equipment or space for that, and they don't seem interested in adding it anytime soon. Of the 4 places I've done physical therapy at, this place had the least to offer. I would basically only go here if you absolutely have few other options or if you live nearby in the Richmond district. If you have to go out of your way to get here, you're better off at Active Care down the street. read more

Ryan was so helpful and supportive! I came in with an ankle sprain that I had done 10 months of physical therapy for, and not much progress to show. Within 2 months, I got back to near 100%, and am so happy now. Thanks Ryan! read more

I have been going to Kauno for the past two weeks for my physical therapy. Lindsay Hendrickson and her team provides excellent care. The staff are all professionally trained and responsive to your concerns and needs. Overall, friendly, safe, and clean environment. I highly recommend this place. read more

Andrew has been amazing resource not only for my physical recovery but from an educational standpoint as well, which was one of my main goals going into trying PT for the first time. Can't say enough about Andrew's attention to detail and genuine care for his clients as well as Kauno in general. During our sessions, he went the extra mile to find applicable, yet easy-to-use exercises which related to the sports that I play regularly. I was put on an accelerated recovery path thanks to the confidence I was able to build in my sessions. The facility is amazing, staff are friendly, and I could not recommend this clinic as well as Andrew enough! read more

My doctor's office highly recommended this spot ahead of a long list of other spots in the city for physical therapy (they described them as "lovely," which is a vote of confidence if I've ever heard one!). Three weeks of twice-weekly sessions in, and I'd have to agree with them. I've been seeing Andrew Collins, who reached out quickly after getting the referral from my doctor. They have an online portal that makes signing up, filling out forms, providing insurance info, and confirming appointments easy. I have been so impressed with how much information and advice Andrew gives in addition to a range of helpful exercises to do at home for building strength and stretching. He asks lots of questions, listens attentively, and adapts that session if necessary depending on how things are going. The place is spotless. They wipe everything down and have a serious HVAC system, which is a plus these days. And there's plenty of room so you never feel like you're on top of someone. Plus street parking has been easy, and the the location is convenient. I always leave here feeling stronger and motivated vs. injured and discouraged, so appreciate that the mental aspects of PT, which for me are half the battle, are also being addressed. Strongly recommend Andrew specifically, and Kauno in general! read more

I injured my knee badly end of last year. Underwent a multi surgeries at once type of repair and my initial PT got me to a decent level but my knee still developed the stiff knee syndrome. I switched PT to Kauno a few weeks ago and got a new knee surgery yesterday to fix the mobility issues. I have a good vibe with Kauno and Candice my therapist that I will make a full recovery. Today's session was great and the next ones will be critical for my full range of motion. The equipment is great, the facility cleaned. So far so good! read more

I've worked with 8 different PTs due to a range of health issues over 7 years and 4 surgeries and Kauno is by far the best, no comparison. I worked with Brendan (no longer here, he moved) and Allyson Fong. I have been at Kauno for my last two surgeries (total time 2 years). I'm now moving out of state or I'd continue. The two critical differences are that Kauno is 1-1 PT with no aides during your whole session and they focus on strength once you're past the initial recovery. A lot of clinics have "aides" which mean the PT sees you at the table for 15 min, then gives you a list of exercises to basically do on your own while the PT sees another patient and occasionally checks up on you. Kauno is 1-1 the whole time, without double booking. The difference in care is huge. This really ensures you're doing the exercises correctly and that you feel safe post-op. Both Allyson and Brendan have been able to adjust the workout in response to any weird pangs/pains I felt post op. They also are strength focused in that its more than just some mobility exercises you probably aren't actually going to do at home. (Although these are really important early post op so do them). The issue with other clinics is that months after postop youre still doing mobility stuff when you really need to build strength back. Theyre great about working with me to get to where i want to be in confidence and strength, ie checking squat, deadlift and bench form. I recommend Allyson to all of my friends looking for PT. read more

Candice greets me with a calm and reassuring smile. She asks about my well-being and gets to work with me immediately-which I appreciate. She manipulates my shoulder -in the best possible way and then works with me on my exercises . She's very thorough. Our small talk is warm and personal but not overly. We are done in 45 min. Perfect. The facility is clean and the mood is calm (almost spa-like) and inspires one to work out. read more

I have been working with Andrew for just a few weeks now and have already seen major improvement. My pain is reduced and my range of motion has increased. The studio is clean and well equipped and all the staff are friendly. They also made insurance verification and billing super easy. Highly recommend Kauno for PT! read more

Excellent facility with great staff. they are hooked into most insurance providers, which makes that easy. Easy to make appointments once you are a returning patient. They have their act together! read more

I had a great experience working with Andrew for shoulder pain. It was my first time doing PT and he was very kind, knowledgeable, and patient in explaining how to do the exercises and adjusting them to accommodate any pain or progress. After a few weeks working with him I was back to regular activities and sports pain-free. Even after my last session with him, he remained helpful by sending me an email with maintenance exercise routines. The facility was very clean and organized. I highly recommend working with Andrew at Kauno! read more

Kauno is great! Great facility with all the right equipment and space. The staff is very professional, friendly and knowledgable. In particular, Andrew has been super helpful working with me. I have been training to run a race and dealing with a knee injury that impacted my training. Andrew has helped me understand my injury, and created a personalized plan to help get me stronger and feeling better fast. 10/10 would recommend this to any other active person dealing with / getting over an injury. read more

Kauno is awesome!! I've been working with Andrew who is not only friendly, kind, and super knowledgeable, but a great teacher as well. He really takes the time to help you understand what is going on in your body & the game plan, and is very consistent and mindful about checking in on pain levels and readjusting exercises/expectations as needed. The clinic itself is clean and comfortable and in a very convenient location, so I highly recommend Kauno (and specifically Andrew) for your physical therapy needs! read more

I really like this place! Full disclosure: I've never had (or a need for) PT before so I wasn't sure what to expect. In the past, if I experienced sports related pain/ strain most of the time rest with an occasional NSAID was all I needed to be back to normal. This time the discomfort lingered and nagged longer so I sought help because I need to exercise for my mental wellness. Initially when I first met my therapist, Allyson, I couldn't articulate what/ where my pain was. After doing some exercises with her, Allyson was able to pinpoint the muscle affected and she then showed me some stretches to target the areas that were strained so I could address them before and after I worked out. She introduced very easy exercises to strengthen the parts that felt weaker to me. Additionally she helped me modify some moves that I frequently do at the gym so that I could get the most out of the workout without adding additional injury. I really appreciated this. Honestly, I'm still fairly new to therapy but I'm already feeling better and I'm confident with consistency I can be back to my old self soon. I would highly recommend this pace! read more

I've been attending for physical therapy from back pain. Really great clean facility with a sports training feel. Super easy to sign up and manage appointments online. read more

I have been working with Andrew at Kauno for 6 weeks or so, after being referred due to severe knee pain. He is a good listener to help pin point pain and muscles that need strengthening, and he's a great advocate for straightforward, uncomplicated exercises that you can do at home regularly. I have learned a ton, and have noticeable strength in my legs to better support my knees. I know the process is a "journey" and not a "destination" and he's been a good sounding board throughout. I highly recommend Kauno and Andrew! The location is very clean, well maintained and I like that there are only a small number of people there at once, so you aren't lost in the crowd. read more

Brian and team are simply amazing. I went to Kauno for rehab post hip replacement. Brian got me back to full function with compassion and humor. I can't recommend him enough! read more

Kauno is great. In particular Candice is terrific. Extremely personable, thoughtful and truly knows her craft of Physical Therapy. She takes a positive approach to PT and it really has a positive impact during the session. She's extremely knowledgeable. She pushes me just enough to build my confidence and to help me reach my Physical Therapy goals. read more

Brendan and Kauno in general are amazing!!! I began to lose the ability to walk with drop foot on the right and numbness and tingling in much of my lower body so unbearable I couldn't sleep for weeks and was misdiagnosed several times. I finally ended up in the ER and had emergency surgery for a disc that had slipped into my spinal column and was crushing my nerves. Doctors said without surgery I would have been paralyzed from the waist down and they weren't sure if I would fully regain all feeling. I tried another physical therapy place for a few months and it was okay but being a speech therapist myself I knew I could find someone/someplace with a more wholistic approach. I felt time was running out to fully regain feeling and function in my lower body and reduce the deep nerve pain I still felt often. Wow! I didn't think it would ever fully go away. Enter Brendan and Kauno. I am forever grateful for the kind, caring but honest approach he took with me. I was definitely skeptical of some things he said based on my past experiences and my previous misdiagnosis by others but I kept coming and I kept getting better and last week I was able to run around and play tag with my nephews. I feel better than I have in years. I still have to keep moving and building my core and occasionally I still have pain if I overdo it with housecleaning but I can lift 50 lbs again when before even 10 lbs had become agonizing. To say thank you to Brendan isn't enough. Words cannot describe how lucky I am to have found him. When shelter in place began I had just started to turn the corner of resuced pain and better movement but being sedentary for too long and not being able to go to physical therapy set me back quite a bit. When I was able to return to PT, Brendan started right away getting me on track and results happened much faster than I expected. I cannot recommend Kauno and especially Brendan enough!!!! I have also seen all of the other therapists working in there from time and everyone seems excellent and very professional and caring. read more

I've been working with Brian on and off for 3 years and can't say enough good things about Brian and Kauno. From prompt appointments to friendly service along with excellent PT, Kauno is always my go to when I have any issues. Unlike some PT businesses, Kauno will work on your issues and send you on your way. My husband has also worked with Brian in the past for a bulging disc and thanks to Brian's referral he got the surgery he needed and is now better than ever. I can't recommend them enough for all your PT and personal training needs. read more

I have been having persistent neck/shoulder pain for almost 10 months and it really impacted the quality of my life. Appointments with multiple chiropractors and physical therapist didn't help much. After a few visits with Brian, my pain reduced by more than 75% and it's getting better and better. I'm very grateful for the progress. I can't wait to recommend Brian to families and friends who suffer from body neck pain read more

Eric and the rest of the staff are very welcoming and give quality service. I am recovering from knee surgery and wouldn't want to do my rehab anywhere else. The place is always clean, and they have all the equipment you need to rehab or get a great workout. read more

This 5 star review has been long overdue for Brendan at Kauno. I've been to other therapists for my severe shoulder pain but Brendan was the one who assisted me in notable quality improvements. He is competent, knowledgeable, personable and patient. Under Brendan's care, my shoulder pain/movements improved and the recovery process was twice as fast. Highly recommended. Thank you Brendan! read more

I have been going to Brian for the last 5 months after undergoing ACL and Meniscus reconstructive surgery. I cannot recommend Kauno enough. Both locations are wonderfully equipped and you received personalized treatment 1-on-1 for all of the sessions. Brian has been extremely knowledgeable about the surgery and exercises and is extremely motivating when I am in the gym. As a former college football and lacrosse player, I already feel myself getting back to old form; if anything I have strengthened my legs beyond pre-surgery. Don't hesitate, go to Kauno. read more

LITERALLY Allyson is the best physical therapist ever. I had physical therapy in LA and there was no one on one help. Allyson is with me 24/7, helping me be successful. She is absolutely amazing. She has helped my journey with my broken ankle so much. I couldn't have done this without her. Kauno is absolutely fabulously. read more
