TESTIMONIALS

"Possibly the BEST physical therapist on our planet? I am a 42yo physician who underwent ACL & meniscus repair several years ago following a ski injury. After a softball injury on the same knee, I underwent meniscectomy in Aug 2019. My same meniscus tore again in Jan 2020. I then saw 2 surgeons who both recommended a repeat meniscectomy. I needed another solution. My colleague (who has had diffuse musculoskeletal injuries, pain and multiple surgeries) referred me to Dave. Over the past 3 months, I've been treated in the clinic approx once a week. (A sanitized, pristine, anti-COVID zone as all the staff carry sprays/ wipes/ masks, and disinfect every machine/ table near every 5 minutes). This large clinic resembles a gym, with a plethora of equipment, devices, strengthening gadgets, balance boards, bands, power-balls and miracle tools. The staff are ahead of their field, performing manipulation techniques, myofascial release, deep tissue methods to improve blood/ oxygen/ lymphatic circulation, cupping (yes- just like the ones we see on Olympic athletes), Graston therapy, break down of scar tissue, heating, electrical stimulation, hypervolt, kinesio taping and patient education! MY RESULTS: stronger muscles around my knees, more stability, improved mobility, and I do NOT NEED surgery! I truly believe that if I had come to the clinic 1 year prior, I could have avoided my Aug 2019 knee surgery. I have also had chronic neck pain for over 15 years. Pain medications, anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxers, CBD cream, heating, constant yoga, pain specialists, other physical therapists, chiropractors, deep tissue massage near every 2 weeks have been minimally effective. Dave started working on my neck 3 weeks ago, and this is sincerely the best my neck has felt in years. Make an appointment now! You will NOT regret it!"

“These guys deserve 10 stars. Advanced Physical Therapy is incredible. The staff is great. A few years ago I had shoulder surgery and Dave Turner worked on my shoulder afterwards. I attribute my full range of motion to Dave’s wonderful care and treatment I recently returned to Dave and his staff due to a lower back issue. Treatment is going extremely well with Dave, Calvin, and Luke. Back is feeling much better due to their work on me. I would highly recommend this facility and their staff to everyone. The cupping treatment and stretching routines are making my life with the back issue much more manageable”

“David Turner and his incredible staff - Calvin, Luke, Francine, Smita, Liza and Jennifer - are an outstanding resource for the Tri-Valley area...and beyond. I have used many other capable physical therapists in the area, but none come even remotely close to providing the level of thoughtful and individualized diagnosis, treatment, coaching, and monitoring at this team does! Their first, second and third priorities are simply to IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THEIR PATIENTS. In the clinic, they use a hands-on approach to get to the root of the patient's issues, along with closely-monitored exercises and movements to improve mobility, strength and comfort. Moreover, they provide detailed coaching and guidance to help the patient understand and improve their physical issues between visits through the use of at-home tools and exercises. Over the past 15+ years, Dave and his team have addressed and resolved my acute and chronic injuries, as well as those of family members and many friends and colleagues. Examples: Following surgery to correct chronic degeneration of a foot joint (experienced over 30 years), Dave was able to diagnose and correct the many tight or locked areas in my hips, lower back and legs, allowing me to resume long-distance, pain-free running. Incapacitated from a back injury, Dave's careful, hands-on approach increased my core strength, flexibility and stamina over the course of several months, allowing me to resume running, yard-work, etc. So, if you want to improve your mobility, strength, comfort and quality of life, go see Dave. If you're tired of having a physical therapist simply look you over and then hand you a list of exercises to do at home and wish you luck, go see Dave.”

"My shoulder no longer wakes me up at night, I'm off NSAIDS and slowly returned to studio exercise class with modifications. I attribute this to the quality physical therapy received at Advanced Physical Therapy and Ergonomics in Pleasanton from Dave Turner and team. A combination of manual therapy, stretching, exercise and modalities were used. I'm continuing with my home exercise program. I'm happy with my decision to not receive steroid injection prior to starting PT as I believe it would have interfered with my course of therapy masking symptoms and natural healing response."

"Dave and his team, Calvin and Luke, are incredible. They are hands on, listen carefully, communicate well and work to get their patients back to an active, healthy lifestyle. They have given me the tools necessary to maintain my strength and flexibility. Dave’s hands on approach is different than other physical therapists I have seen in the past. Over the past several years, I have seen Dave and his team for my foot, back and knee with great results. As a runner, I value Dave, Calvin and Luke’s knowledge and experience to keep me on the road and trails. I don’t consider any other physical therapy office. I highly recommend them when friends and family are in need of PT."

"He has solved numerous of my knee and back/spine problems. He will listen to you and answer any and all of your questions patiently to your satisfaction. He will spend a lot of time personally helping you as much as needed. Every time you leave his office, you leave satisfied and feeling better with pain than you entered the office an hour or two ago. The best thing Dave did for me, before even I went into my spine surgery was to motivate me to loose over 20lbs before surgery. And he enlightened and motivated me so well, that I did loose 22lbs before surgery within 2 months with just diet. Thanks to that, now both my surgeon as well as Dave tell me that I have been recovering much faster than other lumbar fusion patients."

"I’m so happy that I’ve found Advanced Physical Therapy. I’ve tried many PT practices in the area over the years, but this is the friendliest, most comfortable office I’ve been to by far. They take their time to make sure you get the most from each appointment, not just rushing you through demonstrating some exercises for you to do at home. Dave and his staff are great, they definitely know their stuff, and I actually enjoy going to my visits."

“This is the second time in six years that I have used Dave Turner and his amazing group to work on my feet. He has changed my life! Enduring pain for months without hope of resuming regular activities feels catastrophic. He is amazing at what he does by embracing the newest techniques and listening to his patients. Dave is truly invested in your total heath and not only what your prescription specifies. He believes in repairing or changing the root cause of the problem. I am inspired after every appointment to improve my overall health. My mind and body feel refreshed, his energy is contagious. The entire staff at Advanced Physical Therapy is such a pleasure to work with. The office staff are personable and efficient. They communicate via text and email and effectively confirm appointments, reminders and any other relevant information. In addition, his amazing staff of PT professionals share Dave's passion for healing and good health."
