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 have been working with Jen and Andy and they are fantastic.  Every session is personalized, and I always leave feeling stronger and more confident in my recovery.  I hope their company recognizes the value they bring and gives them the raise they truly deserve!

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!

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!

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.

Thank you providing great physical therapy service to our patients. In the past couple of weeks, we had multiple patients come back and report that they are doing great because of your knowledge and hard work. Makes our job much easier. Thank you again, Office of Adam Warren MD

Love this place!! I've been working with Monica and Alex on some elbow/wrist pain during weight training, and they have been fantastic. This is definitely a PT you can go to for a wide range of problems (from acute injuries to general sports training/therapy) and they will work to get you back doing the sport or activity you love. Highly recommend coming here for any physical therapy needs! Logistically, it's also a great facility. Clean, convenient location, free parking, accepts insurance. I just "graduated" for my issue after working with them for a few months, but I will definitely be back any time I need to see a PT in the future.

I've had a lovely experience with the physical therapists here, they listened to my concerns with empathy and responded with knowledge and care. They took the time to review exercises with me and kept diligent track of my progress; I finished care feeling more like myself since my shoulder injuries.

This is a great facility, extremely, conveniently located, they offer free parking. All the positions and physicians assistance are wonderful, the office manager/owner is very involved, and all the staff are proud to work there. Really a pleasure to come for something that you wish you didn’t have to. They also take insurance and are very flexible. Easy to set up appointments and very accommodating since they have so many attending physicians. I’m working with Danielle and Alexander and they are wonderful.Thanks

I suffer from back pain for years. I went to a few places around the bay area to try to fix the problem but I never got better. But here....James and Judy gave me my movement and body back!!. They were always listening and their advices on how to do the exercises was incredibly helpful on my rehabilitation. The first visit I had was to check me out and see how much I moved and what was my condition. James and Judy help me out so much and gave me a couple of exercises that i initially thought were not going to do a big difference but boy I was completely wrong. Those exercises started working after just a few sessions When I started I could barely touch my knees while bending over and it was painful to move from the bed or do any normal things. A few more sessions in and I was noticing much better movement compared to how I started. As I was progressing I got more intense exercises but I was finally having much more flexibility and movement on my body. Now I can finally touch the floor while bending over, something that I thought I would never do in my life because I have never been able to do it. For the first time in years I was finally not feeling my lower back. Not only my body improved but also my mood improved. I can finally lift my son without pain. I can finally start to look forward to not have lower back pain. Thank you so much guys for helping me out... I been living with chronic pain for years and it's been hard. Thank you James. Thank you Judy. You guys gave me my body back and I am extremely grateful for that

SOL PT Berkeley is a warm, welcoming environment with very knowledgeable physical therapists. Danielle and Brent have supported my recovery from a serious nerve injury that left me unable to use my leg — their work with my has led to a rapid recovery and education on preventing reinjury in the future. They address my healing holistically, assessing and treating the entire body, and also encourage other healing modalities where appropriate. I plan to continue coming to SOL PT to stay strong even once this injury is behind me.

I've been impressed with the extent to which SOL provides truly individualized treatment. At age 80, and the mother of a severely disabled son, I've seen many therapists in action. SOL is definitely in the top tier.

I was referred to SOL by an orthopedic specialist. The staff at SOL is warm and welcomed me in. After my first session, Danielle gave me a regiment to help get me back on my feet. Her, Judy and Claire helped put me on a regular routine, and even though my injury turned out to be more severe, their attention to detail was amazing. I'd highly recommend SOL to everybody!

My experience at SOL PT has been excellent.  Danielle is thoughtful, careful, and very good at explaining what each PT exercise is aimed at.  Her focus also has been, with me, my whole body, not just one isolated part.  I also appreciate having the link to the exercises, with detailed descriptions for how to do them correctly--so very easy to use this information at home.

I am the most resistant to this kind of exercise and the most reluctant to do it. Danielle has sparked the light to do it, see the purpose of it and encouraged me to stick with it. She is very attuned to my resistance and need and excellent at clear communication. She brings a variety of moves so I am not bored and targets what is most necessary so I can see the progress right away. She definitely gets 5 stars!!!

Danielle is my physical therapist at Sol and she is fantastic: knowledgeable, personable, clear in her explanations, encouraging and just a wonderful person.  She has really helped me with an injury to my forearm.  And the facility is clean, light and cheerful.  The support staff is also terrific.

My physical therapist Jennifer Kim is very knowledgeable and obviously well-trained.  Although I've only had two appointments with her so far, I feel confident that the program she has created for me will be helpful.
