Renew Physical Therapy

This review is long overdue. I had arthroscopic shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum due to repeated dislocations and chose to go to Renew PT for about 5 months of rehab. I can’t say enough about how wonderful the people are, from Liz who works the front desk, to Mallory who’s the PT assistant, to Lisa who was my primary therapist, and finally Steve, who is the owner.
Lisa, while young, was very knowledgeable but also good at taking feedback and suggestions from me and her fellow more experienced PTs. She was good at pushing me to expand my range of motion and performed great massage therapy on muscles surrounding my shoulder that were acting up. She is incredibly friendly with a great personality so you hardly notice the time ticking by.
I’m now back to being fully active, including rock climbing, weight lifting, and yoga. I highly recommend the folks over at Renew.

Great group of professionals that take care of you in a supportive and dedicated way… they want you to be healthy/​get better/​be happy… so they keep on monitoring you to make sure you achieve your goals. A tennis elbow situation was quick to heal with the exercises they prescribed, but the wrist/​left thumb issue required more creative solutions… and they worked! I have graduated with a healed and stronger hand… and they give me the knowledge to keep a handle on it and self discipline to make sure I keep myself in good running order!
I had the initial exam with Tyson (super knowledgeable and super caring and friendly), and worked with him, Pierre, Lisa, Tara and Mallory… and all of them make for a great team that can support you through your PT issues. Liz checked on my insurance (Blue Cross) and found that they really liked Renew PT and I didn’t have to go through my primary doctor (aka the primary drug pusher) and that suits me because I wanted a real solution rather than just drug band aids.
Your mind and your body will like these people!

I’ve had neck issues for about 6 months or so. Went to a chiropractic in Oregon in June and it was a waste of money. I was referred to the San Francisco office of Renew PT.
Tyson has been the person I’ve been seeing for that last month or so. I’ve had a desk job for the last 30 years so my posture is not the greatest, but I’m a very active person.
I have to say things have gotten some much better since going to Renew, the pain in my neck has gone way done, no more taking Advil. Tyson treated my neck, massaging, stretching, adjustments and other techniques. Also he has given me exercises to do at home that has greatly helped with the pain and my poster.
I wish i went there earlier. I highly recommend going there.
1. They spend time with me doing the treatments
2. They gave me great exercises to do at home and explain what how and why it helps. This is a team effort you must do what they say, i. e do the exercises cause you will get better sooner

I began seeing Tyson a couple of months ago for an issue of tendonitis in my left foot. I am a runner so I was upset that I wasn’t able to run without pain. Tyson, also being a runner, gave me exercises to do in the office & at home that strengthened my legs as well as my ankles to take all of the work out of my foot. With the help of a back to running program that Tyson provided, I am now running over 4 miles without pain!

Not sure how many people look up PT services on Unilocal but if they do I hope they read the reviews.
I had a minor issue with my back and legs resulting from strain and an injury a few years back. A doctor suggested I see a physical therapist for a month or two to see if that would clear up the issues I was experiencing.
Lisa was assigned as my PT for the duration and between the intake process and the continued exercises, I finished my PT like a new man. Lisa has an excellent demeanor and is great at what she does. Very caring person with a spectacular smile. She follows up and makes sure you are working the correct areas at home in between sessions.
Renew PT also takes most insurance — I had a change in between visits and Liz at the front desk took care of it without any problems.
If you need PT services I highly recommend Lisa and Renew Physical Therapy.

Steve and his team are #1! 2 months after a partial ACL tear while skiing, and already feeling 80% of the way there. Steve’s level of experience in the field is bar none, and his entire team on hand, including the office assistants are highly professional, friendly and welcoming. The same can be said about the Mill Valley location, where I also go periodically. If you live in Marin and work in SF (or the opposite) you’ll appreciate the dual office location and flexibility. Thumbs way up!!!

I am writing this 5 months after having a lumbar microdiscectomy and could not be happier to report that I am 100% fixed thanks to my guided recovery with the Renew PT team. I even went jogging this morning for the first time and felt amazing. I worked with Renew 6 weeks starting a month after my surgery with 2 appts per week and light exercises twice per day at home. Everyone at Renew is highly professional, focused, and fun. I feel amazing and more educated about my body thanks to them. Thank you!

Steve and his team are great to work with. It’s a comfortable space, everyone is friendly and supportive, and Steve is a real pro. He’s also a hockey player so bonus points!

Vanessa Chiu was the physical therapist I saw the most, she was fantastic in helping me work through my very problematic shoulder. She not only actively massaged (ouch) and stretched it to push me to regain lost flexibility, but also gave me helpful exercises which she tuned to my time budget. Overall, fantastic job!
