Active Physical Therapy - Redding CA

Great physical therapist. I’ve seen Christian twice now. He helped me avoid a “clean out” surgery on my knee that had an ACL repair many years ago. Then, a year and a half later after my third pregnancy, I had some atrophy to the leg. He was able to get me back some strength in the leg to feel confident and comfortable to get back into my gym. It is nice to have the one-on-one atmosphere for clients allowing the therapists the time to find the root cause of the pain/weakness. I also like that the mobility and strength exercises are all done at home instead of having multiple appointments a week. Makes it much easier to fit in with having young kids and/or work. Thanks Christian and Active PT!

The experience with Michael at Active PT has been a life changer. The PT process has been effective, easy to follow, and helped me get back to the exercises I want to do in the gym. If you have a nagging pain, don’t wait to get a consult. They help assess the problem and work with you to keep your workouts going. Great experience overall, I’d recommend it to anyone trying to improve their overall fitness while addressing problem areas.

Being limited by your own body has to be the most frustrating feeling in the world. And that is, without exaggeration, how I’ve felt for the last year and a half. I thought my severe case of plantar fasciitis would be the end of my running career. Running being the thing that has gotten me through the hardest moments of my life. After following countless pieces of advice leading to dead ends, and receiving no less than three, painful cortisone injections, I found Redding Active PT and PT Emily Blaker. With a calm sense of confidence, Emily created a clear plan which included measurable goals for my mobility, strength, and overall recovery from PF. She also taught me skills to manage my flare-ups throughout the healing process. Through working with Emily, I have learned to take a proactive approach to my physical health. Currently, I am training for an Olympic triathlon this spring and seeing Emily once a month for a tune up! I went from not being able to take my dog for a walk down the street, to running a 5K in under 33 minutes. If you are in pain, if you are feeling helpless and hopeless… Step 1: Call Emily Blaker Step 2: Do your dang homework Step 3: Enjoy your life and fabulous new mindset!!

Christian is an awesome physical therapist. He spent the time to find the root causes of my problems, instead of just focusing on the injury. He is creative and thoughtful in his approach, critically evaluating my progress each visit and adjusting accordingly. The facility is in a great location, has a nice atmosphere and has a wide an array of equipment. I really appreciate the app that shows me doing the exercises I need. It has helped me to keep with my training. I’ve used other PTs and none compare. Thanks for helping me have a speedy, lasting and complete recovery(better than before the injuries).

I want to continue to live an active lifestyle as I get older and mobility issues have slowly been creeping up on me. I met with Christian and he is great to work with. Very knowledgeable, and the results are beginning to produce results. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to stay active or improve their current levels of activity.

Redding's premier physical therapy office. I worked with the owner, Christian, have met many of his employees and have always had a positive experience. A couple of my friends have used Active PT and report great experiences as well. I was helped by Christian after an accident that left me with multiple fractures and then another later incident that ended with a separated shoulder and a fractured rib. I'm still active! I think it's safe to say they are a professional, competent and effective in their work. You will not be disappointed!

I was referred here by a coach who knew this PT put an emphasis on while healing. After letting them know my daughter was not diagnosed by a doctor, we were going by symptoms that we had a soft tissue injury, and we were hoping to find a solution. They were awesome from beginning to end. My daughter had chronic soft tissue ankle injury. It was affecting her softball and dance to a significant point where she was not able to participate. Resting, taping, Advil would get us by… but it wasn’t getting better. I am so glad we got to see Dr. Emily. We were paired specifically with her due to her in-depth knowledge of ankle injury. She was fantastic. Worked my daughter through exercises and gave us an awesome program. We are grateful that she’s healed and equipped with exercises to help her keep her ankles strong throughout her life and sports career. Thank you sooo much!

Jamie Hedgecock has been a great Physical Therapist for me. I really like the approach they use at Active Physical Therapy. I feel I’m part of the solution and he listens to my feedback and adjusts to help me be more successful in my home routine. I can’t recommend him highly enough
