Our experience with SOL has been exceptional, from the physical therapist to the front desk staff. Everyone has been incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely invested in our son’s recovery. After tearing his MPFL playing soccer, we decided to try physical therapy before considering surgery and see if he could regain enough strength to return to the activities he loves. After 12 visits, he successfully graduated from PT and, while we remain cautious about future injuries, he has been able to return to water polo and an active lifestyle. A special thank-you to Noah, our physical therapist. He truly cares about his patients and went above and beyond to help our son through the process. My wife was initially concerned about SOL being a larger chain, but we never felt rushed or like just another patient. Throughout the entire experience, we felt that our son’s health and best interests were always the priority. We’re incredibly grateful to the entire team for their care, support, and professionalism

My experience at SOL has been incredible! I've dealt with chronic knee pain for 10+ years and had never sought out PT until this year, as the pain was worsening in my day to day life and impacting my ability to dance, run, and lift weights. After working with Monica and Andy over the last few months, I can say I'm walking out today with no knee pain and an exercise & mobility program to keep it that way! Both Monica and Andy are genuine, easy to talk to, great listeners, and so knowledgeable. I could always ask for a deeper explanation on why I was doing something and they were happy to answer all my questions. I was so nervous to walk into PT for the first time, but it was the best decision I could have made. It's become something I look forward to and leaving my last appointment today was so bittersweet. Thank you to the SOL team for all you do!

I had work related injury and was recommended SOL physical therapy. I had the pleasure of working with Randall, who was very knowledgeable and polite. He was very attentive to all my concern and always addressed the issues I faced in a timely manner with regards to my pain and discomfort. Diana at the front desk and the other assistants are very warm, courteous and amazing people. All in all I was very satisfied with their service and recovered from my injuries in a few months. Randall also recommended some excerises to me to continue doing to help strengthen my core. I highly recommend this place and especially my physio therapist Randall.

Had major knee surgery after a ski accident and did a few sessions of PT at another location. The other site mainly had me doing squats and stationary bike. It was boring and I decided I could do those things on my own. A year later, knee hasn't healed so I started going to Sol on Piedmont. Ive been for 8 sessions and the treatment is much more specific. Each session I am doing more interesting and challenging exercises to strengthen different muscles. My knee is feeling better. My main PT is Braxton who designs my training and has been great. There are techs who help me follow the plan and make sure my technique is correct. Very happy I returned and totally satisfied with my progress.

This place is the best. My physical therapist, Randall, met me on day 1 with grace, kindness and encouragement. He's incredibly committed to results for his patients. Everyone I worked with was professional and also genuinely caring. This was my first time with physical therapy (thanks to a broken bone) and I'm so glad I chose to go here! Shoutout to amazing Andi. She is thorough, really skilled and knowledgeable! Loved all the techs who worked with me - Gabe, Lawrence, Kyla, Ryann, John. This place really is the best! Diana at the front desk is also super-helpful with scheduling and answering questions.

I cannot recommend personal training with Gretta Kirkby highly enough. I began my work with her at SOL in Berkeley to increase the benefit of my physical therapy. Gretta and my therapist worked well together to expedite my healing. The training helped me to use the exercises my therapist gave me, supplemented by exercises Gretta suggested, much more effectively than I would have been able to do on my own. I continued working with Gretta after my therapy had ended not only to keep but to improve the strength I’d gained. I enjoyed the training so much I now work with Gretta on a weekly basis and have for over a year. My balance has improved, my muscles are stronger and my endurance has increased. Gretta is wonderful! She consistently goes above and beyond for her clients. She is exceptionally friendly and easy to talk to, and makes me feel very comfortable. Gretta adjusts the training to fit the pace and needs of the client. She listens to my concerns and goals and comes up with a program that works for me (how much time I want to spend, etc.) to help me achieve those goals. Gretta consistently invites me to email her throughout the week if I have any questions. She is professional and efficient but also a lot of fun and the time goes quickly! I look forward to our training sessions. On a scale of 1-5, Gretta deserves at least 10 stars!

April was especially wonderful to work with throughout my therapy sessions. She was knowledgeable, patient, and very supportive during the recovery process.

On Feb. 19, 2026 I started PT for my aging balance issues (I'm "older than dirt" as the saying goes LOL) and my discharge date was this week on May 11th. This is the best PT I have ever had. My balance is better than ever and my confidence has risen tremendously. In April my husband and I went to Monterey for my Birthday week and this is the first time in many years I could walk on the beach next to the water by myself without trekking poles and without my husband holding my hand. When I walked in for my initial appointment I saw everyone who worked there was "young" and thought "oh my goodness" and then after my 1st appointment I realized how very competent, "put together" and encouraging everyone is from the Physical Therapists to the PT Assistants, to the Technicians, to the PT students who are there in their rotations, to the Front Desk . I later saw that their patients range in age from children to those in their 9th decade. Randall my Physical Therapist (DPT), John, Kayla, April, Maddie and Diana are all exactly what I needed. If I have forgotten anyone's name please forgive me because it's not intentional. Randall provided a home balance program for me which I have done and which has also helped so much. If you need PT I highly recommend SOL in Dublin. SOL provides PT for many issues.

We have had an amazing experience at SOL Physical Therapy, staring with recovery from injuries and moving into personal training with Gretta Kirkby. All the staff are professional, knowledgeable, kind, fun people. Working with Gretta has been great; she really helps motivate and get us stronger with dynamic work outs and support for when we can't be there in person. Working with her has been a really good boost to mid-life fitness! Plus, she is such fun person to be around!

Lawrence Yeung is a talented personal trainer and i highly recommend him. He understands my physical limitations and issues and trains accordingly. I was hesistant to get a physical trainer because I was afraid I'd get injured. In fact, the opposite is what happened. When I had a sore shoulder, he adjusted my workout and I no longer have a sore shoulder. He understands the human body and how to develop core strength and improve overall health and wellness. I'll be renewing once my ten sessions are completed.

I started with Sol for an ankle problem and continued for a back issue. I had massive back pain from my SI joint on the left side. My PT therapist, John was so awesome and kind. He assured me I would get better and the pain would go away and he was right. Great team at SOL. All of the therapists and assistants are knowledgeable and caring. Highly recommend this company.

I rehabbed there for rotator cuff shoulder surgey a couple of years ago and hip replacement surgery in late 2025. I worked the most with Lydia and Braxton and highly recommend both. Both are very professional, communicate well (listening and explaining), and adjusted programs in response to ongoing assessments, my feedback, and my limitations. They worked well with assistants and the assistants were all very good. Lydia pushed me at times to increase flexibility, which I needed. Each rehab was successful and I am back doing the things I love. I left with a good set of maintenance exercises. Many thanks to Lydia, Braxton, and the whole crew.

Kevin is an exceptionally gifted physical therapist. As soon as you describe your problems, he quickly pinpoints the root cause and provides targeted, effective treatments that lead to real, fast recovery. This kind of diagnostic skill and personalized approach is truly rare. For example, I had sciatica for more than a year and had to stand up all day to use the computer because of the pain. After meeting Kevin and his first evaluation treatment session, my pain was gone, I could finally sit down comfortably. He also resolved several of my other issues, greatly improving my quality of life. I’m deeply grateful for his expertise, patience, and encouragement. If you have Kevin as your therapist, you’re in excellent hands! Thank you, Kevin!

The physical therapists and assistants did a great job in helping me with 2 big problems, a rotator cuff/frozen shoulder and back pain. Kat Mananquil and Lawrence Zhou did a superb job as my primary therapists. They were very attentive and responded to my feedback. Additionally, other therapists and the assistants did a great job as well. I could not have been happier with the experience.

I came to SOL in Dublin struggling with severe sciatica and thought surgery and medication might be my only option. My Physical Therapists, Paul Pingol and Jonathan Wei, completely changed my perspective. They took the time to understand my condition, explained everything clearly, and guided me with patience and encouragement every step of the way. Because of Paul's expertise, I now have the confidence to lift weights again, something I never thought I'd do. Jonathan's attentive care was equally important in helping me return to full capacity. They patiently answered every question I had and provided exceptional care throughout my treatment. The entire staff at SOL is professional, skilled, and genuinely caring, and the positive environment made recovery much easier. I wasn't sure how I would manage the sharp pain, numbness, or even the challenge of standing upright and walking, but thanks to Paul, Jonathan, and the team, I'm back to moving comfortably, without medication and feeling like myself again.

Add me to the list of patients who is frustrated. This location and the Montclair location doesn’t answer their phone or call people back after a voicemail is left. They don’t check their email when you request an appointment. Looks like another reviewer experienced the same thing. I used to come here for my shoulder and they were great. It’s frustrating to have this polarizing experience.

I really liked my experience here. Everyone is friendly and competent. They really helped me getting through my frozen shoulder. I like the exercise area as well, they have good equipment and clear instructions. My only complaint is that the waiting area is small (three worn chairs right next to each other) and pretty uncomfortable when crowded (more than 3 waiting). A lot of times I just stood there waiting to be seen (not much standing space either so a bit awkward). However waiting time is usually super short so definitely not a deal breaker for me.

I've been working with a couple therapists for spinal nerve issues. The therapists are knowledgeable and very helpful, and willing to work with your schedule and preferences. They may try a variety of different techniques in order to help ease immediate pain and build up the needed strength to prevent it going forward. Getting in touch over the phone can be hit or miss as the line is often busy, but they are usually good about calling back if you leave a message. Alternatively, you can go visit them and chat with the front desk in-person – the staff are a delight.

I went to SOL Montclair last year to rehab an ankle that I injured while playing sports. I worked with Nick and Murphy for about 3 months, and I found both to be wonderful Physical Therapists. They were very knowledgeable, they designed fun and effective exercises, and they made a point to truly understand the injury and my rehab goals and timeline. 9 months after finishing treatment, my ankle still feels strong and stable. Scheduling, communication, and billing with SOL is also top notch. Gabe at the front desk is a great communicator and helps keep you on top of future appointments and other key information.

Really enjoying their personal training offering - Lucas is great! I've been working with Lucas for just over six months, and it's been a game-changer. My goals were to safely lift weights despite lower back issues, build strength for various athletic activities, and maintain mobility. He helps me with my form, which keeps my back issues in check and has improved my technique. He introduces odd but engaging exercises each session, so training is never boring. His deep knowledge, encouraging style, and genuine commitment make every session effective and enjoyable.

This review is about my experience with their personal training program. I'm in my mid-50s with very little athletic experience. After experiencing continuous lower back pain and leg pain issues from working remotely in front of a laptop for over 7 years, I decided to try one of SOL's personal trainers since I had a good experience with their physical therapy program and strength training at home was confusing and didn't feel productive. I signed up for some introductory sessions last Fall to check it out and have continued with them ever since. My initial goal was to strengthen the muscles supporting my lower back so that I can mitigate future lower back pain. Now, my goal has been to maintain and build muscle as much as possible as I age and get stronger overall. Since signing up for personal training and working with Lucas Fraga as my personal trainer twice a month, I have increased my lean mass from 9th percentile to 16th percentile (Jan to April) for my age group per my last 2 Dexa scans. In addition, I have not experienced any lower back pain like I used to and feel the strongest I've ever felt! I still have a ways to go but feel confident that I can reach my goals in the near future with Lucas' help. Although this is my first time working with a personal trainer, Lucas has been very patient in answering all my questions and putting together a personalized strength training program that I can perform consistently and steadily see results. He is very knowledgeable and fun to work with. I recommend Lucas and SOL's personal training program wholeheartedly!

The Team at SOL is great! I spent three months working with Jonathan Wei (my Physical Therapist) and his techs for a chronic patellar tendinosis and kneecap tracking issue. Jonathan created a customized program to address my specific needs, and was VERY attentive to how I was progressing. I really appreciated Jonathan's compassionate approach and flexibility switching up routines to ensure that I was not in pain and experienced results in the shortest amount of time. As an avid cyclist and skier, I am SUPER happy to get back to my activities pain free. I would also like to thank the techs I worked with. Gabe, Mojo and John, you're the best.

I can not speak more highly of Allie, a trainer at SOL. After a major injury and surgery, she has supported putting me back together every step of the way with expert knowledge, kindness, support, and motivation. Each of my sessions with Allie is tailored to my exact needs that week. Allie is able to target whatever physical need or problem I might have and hone in on how to not only recover from injury but also to prevent injury in the future. On top of it all, Allie is a pleasure to be around. There is no individual I can imagine providing the quality physical training I have received from Allie. Thank you!

I started coming to SOL for Physical Therapy over a year ago and still do as needed. Recently I added Personal Training with Lucas Fraga. He has been the most inspiring and helpful person in my journey through a long list of injuries. He teaches not just what to do, but how do work safely, how to use pain as a guide rather than a thing to be pushed through, and his deep knowledge of how the body works has allowed me to strengthen muscles in ways I never thought I could.

They got in touch with me recently, and I have to say, their communication since then has been absolutely on point--clear, consistent, and impressively fast. They were upfront and apologized for the initial lack of communication, which I appreciated. It's always nice when a team takes accountability and makes the effort to improve. Since then, the experience has been great, and it's clear they're committed to providing solid support and staying connected. Overall, I'm feeling really positive about everything and genuinely looking forward to starting my physical therapy journey with JP. Thanks again, JP!

These folks are great. Every single member of the team. I had to have both of my hips replaced, and was concerned about my rehab, being only 40. I didn't want to have a limp, and I also cared about being back in the gym ASAP. The team at SOL understood my goals and my injuries/surgeries and customized a plan for me while both at the center and at home. They were super supportive, kind, and great cheerleaders. Scheduling with them was super easy, and they even worked with me on last minute changes to my schedule. Highly highly recommend.

This is my third time getting PT at SOL-Oakland (other two were for plantar fasciitis). I was having hip pain, and in my first evaluation, Jordan quickly diagnosed it was muscular, and I needed to strengthen my gluts. She put together a continuing set of exercises (added and got more difficult as I progressed). She is not only very knowledgeable on the science of the body and exercises, but she is very practical in the way she progressed me to the point of almost no pain. I also worked with Caitlin, who gave me several tips to improve my form and reduce injuries. I was very impressed with everyone I worked with - serious, but pleasant and encouraging. I highly recommend SOL PT for helping with sports injuries.

Was assigned to SOL after a work injury. From the very beginning, staff members were kind, professional and thoughtful. Each staff member was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in helping me to recover. My PT was Jessica and she was super sweet and would tailor each session to my needs. I highly recommend SOL to anyone looking for physical therapy!

I had a wonderful experience. Jessica is a wonderful physical therapist who is cheerful and very knowledgeable. She was able to address the areas of concern and heal me back to health. The physical therapist assistant was able to provide me support in doing the exercises needed. Both are awesome.

I was amazed at how quickly I felt better after seeing Dan at SOL Physical Therapy. I had been dealing with significant pain in my knee after running for almost a year and stretching wasn't helping. I was starting to fear that it was a more significant tear or something that was going to require surgery. Fortunately, after my initial session we were able to determine that it was most likely not a major injury, and after a few exercises to strength my hips I was already feeling significantly better. After just a few weeks the pain was gone and I was able to work with Dan on a strategy and exercise plan to continue to strengthen and improve the mobility in my hips and to prevent injury moving forward. I can't believe I avoided seeing someone and lived with the pain for a full year! I definitely recommend SOL and would trust them to help diagnose and resolve any future physical therapy issues if needed.

I first came to SOL for physical therapy (in the other office upstairs), which was a great experience. As I got back into being active I wanted some guidance to help me avoid injuries. I started training downstairs in the Performance Training office with Allie a couple years ago and am so glad that I did. Allie has tailored our training sessions and my home workouts to whatever I've needed, which has varied a lot since I started working with her. I've dealt with medical conditions and new injuries that have required us to make adjustments, and she has never had a problem coming up with ways to continue working toward my goals. She is perceptive, thoughtful, and always a pleasure to work with. I'm now back to running and playing soccer, and even though I'm several years older than when I last did those things regularly, I feel more confident in my ability to avoid major injuries and recover from the inevitable small ones thanks to the work I've been doing with Allie. The other trainers and staff seem great as well, and everyone here seems to have good attitudes and senses of humor. I think they all have different specialties and I would gladly work with any of them, though Allie is the best. It's a great place to train, the atmosphere is fun and they will push you and guide you in all the right ways.

I came in to SOL after they just took over for spine and sport physical therapy. It was a pleasant upgrade from the former company. Mario, Luke, Mojo and Gabe all were helping me recover from having a micro discectomy surgery at the end of January. They listened to me, gave me exercises that challenged me safely and kept me engaged at every session. As I progressed they kept switching things up and checked in with me regularly to make sure I wasn't hurting myself. Mario also helped set expectations on returning back to "normal" life, I thought I would be back sooner and he was able to gently tell me this is a process and don't rush things. As my recovery moved forward my life started to return back to normal and it was nice having a team by my side as aches and pains arose to let me know this is common and I'm not hurting myself. I'm now back to work and playing softball which keeps me grounded. You can tell the difference between someone collecting a paycheck and someone who cares. Mario, Luke and team truly love what they do and it shows. After having bad experiences with physical therapists in the past, I would have no issue recommending SOL (and my team in particular) to anyone who is trying to recover from an injury and get back to doing life. Thanks Mario, Luke, Gabe and Mojo. You guys made a difference in my life and I appreciate you all.

I had a shoulder tear, bursitis, walk with a limp because my hip hurt so bad. Katrina, PT, (Kat) is so knowledgeable that I have improved alot. David helps with the exercises and is just as committed as Kat to ensuring their clients' mobility, strength, and endurance and health improves. I enjoy going to Physical Therapy because I know they have my best interest in their program.

I came in for shoulder rehab. The team was very knowledgeable and friendly. I've been going for 8 weeks and have gotten tremendous strides in my range of motion and pain management. Luke is extremely helpful and answers all my questions. I feel like he gives me full attention and care. What's encouraging is that they know my body better than I do! They push me accordingly, and at the same time, always listen to my concerns. Having gone so frequently, I've come to know almost the entire team. Jess, Mario, Gabe, Isabelle, and everyone else really have a passion for their profession and people. I've been to other PT groups, by far SOL is the best.

Let me start off by saying you first walk in to a very kind front desk receptionist. They are all very kind and personable. All of the physical therapists and training specialists are all super kind and knowledgeable and if they have a question they would rather ask for clarification than risk having you hurt yourself in an exercise. I've done my strength training with almost everyone there and they all have great training behind them. My physical therapist, Luke, was awesome! Every week I went in he would always get the kinks out of my shoulder with ease, and although it hurt in the moment it always helped to recharge me for the rest of the week. I have nothing but good things to say about SOL. I wish I could keep going, but I'm recovered now and ready to get back out in the world and kick some butt thanks to the people at SOL.

My husband, Lief Sorbye, had great results at SOL Performance Training Center! In his words: "Braxton, Sherman, and crew are highly skilled, and they guided me through exercises that greatly improved my conditions (brought on by an accident last Fall.) Now, after 4 months of PT I'm happy to say I have my strength and mobility back, and I'm pain-free. All done in a friendly, fun, and professional environment!"

It can take some time to get your first appointment but it's definitely worth it. These folks are truly experts, I learned a ton about my body in the first session alone. I worked with Johnathan. He was great at explaining what was going on and making the pt exercises simple and short enough that I didn't feel overwhelmed. I saw folks of all shapes, sizes, ages, genders, and colors. Everyone seemed happy to be getting helped there too. Be sure to double check insurance coverage though, the cost can really add up. While I hope I won't need to return for any more sports injuries, I would love to come here more often!
