This stage is all about optimizing movement patterns, building strength, and reinforcing your progress. By the end, we want you to confidently say, "I feel great— I’m back to training hard and hitting new PRs!"

Testimonials
Caleb is a LIFESAVER! I've been doing sports since before I can remember and when I tore my ACL this January it was absolutely devastating. The day I started walking after 7 weeks on crutches without any Physical Therapy, I had a very serious limp and muscle spasms every couple of minutes. After realizing my care wasn't being taken as seriously as I would have hoped, I decided to branch out and had heard some good things about Caleb. Sure enough after about 3 weeks my limp was already almost gone and I was able to walk daily without muscle spasms. Now 7 months post-op I can squat 165 pounds and deadlift 165 as well. I can run laps around the track regularly and I'm on track to go back into sports in November! Couldn't have done it without him and his expertise and I'm thankful that he always made me feel understood and heard in what I wanted to do with my sports career. Caleb is the best PT out there for athletes ready to return to sport as fluidly and efficiently as possible

Thank God I found Caleb and NorCal Physiotherapy! I had a torn rotator cuff and bicep and had full reconstructive surgery 3 months ago. My Physical Therapy through Kaiser was a joke, did exercise at home at a snail pace and they scared me to do anything else. After 3 months I was feeling annoyed with my progress, literally had severe atrophy and no muscle and not able to use the arm after 3 months. I was in great shape before the surgery too, so feeling discouraged that I wouldn't be working out anytime soon! So I went to find someone who could help get me back to normal quicker. Thankfully I found this place. I've had 3 sessions and in about a week it's pretty incredible what Caleb has done. My mobility and range of motion is incredible, he's teaching me exercises that are actually working and training me to know what's enough. He's always available for question and really knows his stuff! I'm going to be using him for maintenance after we are done with rehab. Anyhow this place is top-notch and I highly recommend this business. Thank you Caleb!!!
