Golden Gate Physical Therapy

I’m an ex-athlete that still plays lots of sports and am very active in my free time. I never quite learned the value of stretching before exercise and as I get older, I’m learning the hard way. Whenever I’m hurt, GGPT is the first call. I’ve come in for a tweaked neck, strained glute, and some other stuff I’ve gotten as a result of lifting/playing sports without stretching. I haven’t tried any other PTs in SF, but that’s because I’ve never needed to. Been coming here about 3 years for short stints as needed. They are consistently very good at their jobs and they’re genuinely very kind people. Highly recommend this group!

This place is fantastic. Adrian is the man. I started going to GGPT after herniating my disc (L5/S1) and experiencing extreme sciatic pain shooting down my leg. At its worst, I had a 10/10 pain level, leaving me completely immobilized. I initially chose GGPT because Adrian was certified in the McKenzie Method, which had previously offered me some relief. However, after several sessions, I discovered many different strategies to alleviate my pain AND strengthen my core to prevent future injuries. Adrian doesn't just adhere to a strict set of protocols like McKenzie or McGill (though he's well-versed and certified); instead, he customizes his approach to meet the specific context, needs, and goals of each individual. Lastly, I must say that Adrian is among the most compassionate and uplifting individuals I've encountered. He provided exceptional support during some difficult times. While I don't expect that from a physical therapist, I deeply appreciate and admire it. The entire team at GGPT is fantastic, and I highly recommend them!

I was a patient at Golden Gate Physical Therapy (GGPT) for more than a year following various types of repairing/rebuilding surgeries. David and the whole team were really amazing. Their level of professionalism, care, support and therapy were the best. The 'homework' that I received to supplement the the therapy I did at each GGPT session (and it is vital to do this homework/exercises) , this just helped to accelerate my recovery and get me back to my target activities and sports. I am so grateful for finding GGPT! And I would without the slightest hesitation recommend anyone to GGPT. Huge thanks to David and the team!

Adrian and all the PTs at GGPT are incredible! I went from having a terrible knee injury for 1.5 years, to getting surgery and getting rehabbed by GGPT, and I am now pain free and lifting weights twice a week. Adrian is part PT, part weight trainer, part coach - I could not recommend this clinic more!!

GGPT is amazing! I primarily worked with Adrian and Jona, they were both excellent. It’s great to be able to work with a PT your entire session.

These guys are as good as it gets. I've done PT elsewhere and GGPT is simply in a league of their own. I've worked mostly with Tim and David, who are both extremely skilled. They know the science behind the exercises they recommend, and are flexible enough to adjust to each patient's specific situation and feedback. David is particularly good at deep tissue massage work, which can really open things up to make it easier to do my exercises without pain. Adrian, the owner of GGPT, is also a great clinician and he has created an amazing practice. And the staff at the front desk is extremely friendly, competent and professional. Whether you're an athlete rehabbing from a serious sports injury or someone just trying to regain your daily functionality, I cannot recommend GGPT highly enough!

The staff at GGPT are so incredibly helpful and friendly! Patty was extremely thorough with our appointments to ensure that I recovered fully from my injury. She pushed me to the next level each time and I'm so thankful to be back to my pre-injured self. Thank you GGPT for everything!

I'm a late-twenties active, but injury-prone individual who has had my fair share of PTs over the past decade. Since moving to SF, I've worked with multiple other PTs, but none of them come close to rivaling what Tim can do at GGPT. Tim is hands-down the best PT I've ever worked with, and he deserves an award for the number of injuries of mine he's treated. A part of me is convinced that he is actually some sort of shamanic healer, considering the sheer amount of ailments he's helped me recover from, even after being told by doctors that I'd need surgery. From torn labrums, dislocated shoulders, deteriorating hips, and all forms of tendinitis, Tim has fixed it all, and I'm forever grateful to him for getting me back to doing my favorite activities. In addition to being an outstanding PT, Tim is also an awesome person who constantly provided the reassurance I needed to maintain hope that I would recover.
