My friend recommended Dr. Dylan for help with glute pain related to playing volleyball and pickleball that had been present for over a year and it was starting to impact movement outside of sports. I had tried Kaiser PTs without any improvement. Dr. Dylan did a phone consultation to discuss my concerns and then I met with him to set up our 10-week plan. He evaluated my current abilities and then built a personalized plan starting from the basics so we could progress as my mind-muscle connection grew along with my strength. My plan included stretching/warm up, strength movements and dynamic warm ups before sports. It was great meeting every week to go over progress and address any questions about movements. He was also very responsive via text if I had questions outside of our sessions. Luckily I didn't have to stop playing sports during this rehab plan! I've completed my 10 weeks with so much improvement and my pain is basically non existent. One of the best investments I've made for myself! read more

I am a fitness professional, and going to a PT in the past has only ever been helpful for general daily pain management. The work I've been able to do with Dr. Kumar has been a complete game changer. I've gone from absolutely no overhead movements without pain to now being able to do weighted overhead workouts again! His methods are innovative and effective, not to mention his calm and friendly demeanor. If you want more than just dulling the pain, and you want to thrive again, definitely go see him!! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Dylan to anyone who feels they're broken down beyond repair and have given up on getting help. He is patient, kind, and excellent at analyzing what is needed and how to get there. Unlike most physical therapists, he carefully studies how you do the exercises and says how to improve/fix your technique. He listens to any concerns and works with you to alleviate them either through encouragement to try baby steps toward the goal or he comes up with an alternative if you or he are concerned that the suggested exercise might be too much at the present time. When I came to him, I was weak and out of shape after many years of alleviating pain by avoiding exercises whenever my toes, ankles, knees, lower and upper back, neck, wrists, elbows, and/or shoulders flared up. I'm now able to walk 5+ miles in hilly terrain, and easily carry groceries without causing chronic pain. We are still working on getting stronger and I still get some pain but little enough that I can continue without worry that I will be in terrible pain later. I can often alleviate most or all of the pain by doing the exercises. Thank you Dylan for giving me my life back and giving me hope for a better future even though I am already a senior citizen. read more

I'm an RN and have been working with Dr. Dylan off and on for a year. First for my knee replacement and now with neck issues. I am getting fantastic results and am really grateful I connected with him when I did. For years I have had worsening neck and spinal pain but the exercises and soft tissue work that Dr. Dylan has done has really made a difference in improving pain and increasing mobility. Dr. Dylan really takes the time to get to know his patients to specialize treatment that works for them. I have done all sorts of modalities over the years but I really feel like I'm getting the best results with Regain's PT approach. Super grateful! read more

Dylan is an awesome PT who will not only help you get back to where you want to be, but help you go beyond! I am a startup founder that does a lot of physical activity on the weekends - primary trail running and skiing. I started having recurring lower back pain a few years ago when lifting weights. I tried doing stretching and lower back exercises on my own but the problem would eventually resurface. It was very frustrating to be kept away from doing the things I love. I was recommended to see Dylan by a friend and decided to give him a visit. Dylan pinpointed that the issue was related to weakness in my legs leading to lower back impact while I was running. He helped me focus on strength and balance. He gave me a workout program to do on my own and every few weeks we would review, and if I made progress, advance the workouts to the next level. I ended up continuing to work with him for about a year and the back issues improved considerably. My leg strength and balance got to a level I had never reached before - doing single leg squats to the ground with no support! All the work got me back into shape to do an epic 50k trail run from SF Embarcadero to Mt Tam to Stinson Beach. I highly recommend working with Dylan! read more

I've been working with Dylan for the last year and have seen SO much improvement in both pain symptoms and sport performance. I'm a 32 year-old beach volleyball athlete and personal trainer, and I originally came in for pretty aggressive low back pain and right shoulder pain. I myself have a degree in Applied Exercise Science, have worked in a rehab clinic before, and was trying to manage my own pain before coming to him. With that being said, I am very thoughtful about the practitioners with whom I will work. We were actually working out of the same cooperative professional space for a number of months before I chose to start seeing him as a patient, so I got to see how he operated as a clinician. I was impressed with his knowledge, respected his dedication to patient care, and appreciated his easy-going demeanor. When Dylan and I started my rehab journey, I had backed off of pretty much all weightlifting because of my low back pain and was also not able to play beach volleyball much at all (when I did, it was with my non-dominant arm). There were a number of sessions at the beginning where my emotions were running high due to pain and disappointment about where I was at, and he always did a masterful job of acknowledging what was going on for me and allowing that emotion to be there while still laying out a plan of action and mobilizing me into next steps. I had been utilizing a lot of soft tissue, stretching, and some strengthening strategies before working together. Because of my hypermobile tendencies, we adjusted that lens to be mostly on neuromuscular connection and activation work. We did a lot of isometric work at the beginning, as well as strengthening my shoulder into the areas and ranges of motion it was weak/disconnected. Dylan did a really intentional job of meeting me where I was at, adjusting my programming based on my feedback, and balancing the regression and progression of a rehab journey that isn't static. As an athlete in a highly dynamic sport, it felt like slow going for the first few months, but he continued to lay out the plan and make sure I could see where we were going with it all. My symptoms continued to diminish, and we started to re-introduce weightlifting, plyometrics, and getting me back on the sand. I was able to play the last few tournaments of my season and even surprised some of my opponents who were used to me not having much hitting power at all with my right! I also started doing Olympic weightlifting in the summer, which would not have been possible without our work together. The last few months have been a true testament to the hard work that went into this process, and I have seen PR (personal record) after PR in the gym! I am the strongest I have ever been and feel so excited to keep pushing the needle forward! Dylan and I are mostly working together in a sports performance capacity now, which is where all of the fun stuff gets to be incorporated. It feels like a huge confidence boost to have him in my corner, and as a fellow practitioner, it's also so mentally alleviating to let him be in charge of my programming. I always send him my PR videos, and he's a fantastic hype man! I truly wish I would have started working with him sooner, because now the sky is the limit! read more

Dylan is the best physical therapist I've ever worked with. I worked with Dylan for all of 2025. I was focused first on managing repeating aggravation in my forearms. Beyond that, I wanted to expand my general physical fitness and try new workouts - without getting injured. We succeeded on both fronts. We lastingly got the forearm issues under control. And I increased my running and started rock climbing without any significant injuries. When small things did come up, Dylan quickly diagnosed the issue and get it corrected so the issues resolved fast instead of getting worse. Unlike other PTs I've worked with, who just added more and more recommended stretches and lifts over time without deliberately planning a program, Dylan was mindful of how much he was asking and always made sure we were focused on the current most important issue or goal. That's probably why we made so much progress during the year. Also, he's a great listener. Make sure to take advantage and chat while you're getting a workout in. read more

Dylan helped me to return to sport after an ACL tear. He was extremely attentive during our sessions and made adjustments to the plan based on my ability or discomfort that day. He was able to explain clicks or pain in my knee and gave me the confidence to work through the pain when necessary. Working with Dylan to transition from movements I had been doing in a clinic to sport-specific field work (with cleats on) was valuable in my return to play ultimate frisbee. I would highly recommend his expertise to anyone returning to sport especially after a long injury. read more

I've been seeing Dylan for over a year now and can't say enough at how amazing he is! I started seeing him for some back and shoulder issues that weren't getting better. He took the time to listen and also explained everything that was easy to understand. I can confidently say I'm pain free thanks to him! read more

Dylan is an absolutely incredible PT providing thorough and compassionate care. He is the reason I am able to do the sports and activities I love without pain after I had given up hope on being pain free! I began working with Dylan when I moved to the bay area by way of recommendation from my previous PT who had worked with Dylan in NYC. I was recovering from an ACL/Meniscus tear and surgery from a ski accident along with long term sciatic lower back pain. My goals with physical therapy were to get back to the activities I love like skiing and running without having to be in pain, along with resolving the lower back pain that made it difficult to even sit in my chair at work. Dylan was a game changer!! When I first met Dylan, I was able to function quite basically with my knee pain, but was unable to do the sports I loved without discomfort, and was not yet able to ski. He was extremely thorough in his initial assessment of where I was at and helped make a plan for how to get me back to working out, running, and of course skiing. Each week during our workouts he gave detailed coaching about why we were doing each movement/ exercise and how to make micro-adjustments to ensure that each exercise was beneficial to my recovery. He frequently checked in throughout the week over text to ensure the workouts were running smoothly and to see how the pain was improving. He took me through multiple progressions of each exercise to increase my strength over time, and was always checking in to make sure that exercises were helpful and not hurtful or ineffective. We tracked my progress together so I had clear proof of improvement. He ensured that each exercise for my knee would not irritate my back pain and vice versa. I grew to love working out and going to the gym again while working with Dylan because I could see a clear upward trend in decreasing pain. When PT would become tough mentally, and I would reach blocks in staying positive, he was always there to reassure me and provide quality care both on the physical and mental side of things. I am now able to run, ski, and do any activity or sport I want completely pain free! I never thought I would be able to say that. I honestly believe my knee and back are actually stronger than before I was ever injured - he got me back to 150%! If you are looking for a knowledgable PT who shows genuine care for every symptom of your injury or pain that will get you back to doing what you love without pain, I give my highest recommendation to Dylan. Thank you for all you've done!! read more
