The two therapists I worked with, Kristin and Alex, provided excellent care and guidance to help me recover from knee replacement surgery. The hands-on work was always great in addition to the home exercise program they developed. They spent adequate amounts of time with me at appointments and made sure I was able to continue therapy until I had significant improvement.
Super impressed with Dr. Jeff South. Having seen several physical therapists and Chiropractors he really stands out. He has so many thoughts about my injury that sometimes it feels like he cares about it more than even I do. What really blew me away is that the instructional videos he sends post session are filmed by him of himself doing the motions and talking about things you went over together. I haven't encountered that level of care anywhere else I go. Usually exercises are generated by an app, videos are generic ones linked from youtube and the PT is about 50% present during sessions. Jeff does a much better job than anywhere else I have been.
I highly recommend physical therapy at Level Up Wellness. I was referred to them by my surgeon after my double mastectomy. Dr. Jocelyn helped me deal with stubborn scar tissue and mobility issues. She did a lot of manual work on the scar tissue, and she helped me develop a stretching and strengthening program to do at home. I can’t say enough good things about my experience—I really appreciated Dr. Jocelyn’s knowledge, skill, and especially her kindness. She was such a pleasure to work with, and I was really happy with the improvement I made under her care. Everyone else at the practice was great to work with too. I’m grateful for them!
Getting physical therapy at Level Up Wellness has been transformative to my breast cancer recovery after having a double mastectomy. While Level Up was recommended by a friend, another women's healthcare practitioner, and my breast cancer surgeon, I researched other options in hopes of finding an in-network provider. The oncology nurse assigned to my case at my insurance company strongly recommended Level Up after evaluating several dozen practitioners in the Bay Area. She said the expertise at Level Up was unparalleled and if I was going to invest in out-of-network care this would be the most meaningful and absolutely worth it. She was so right! I had the great fortune of working with Dr Hilary, and through her care I have developed strength, flexibility, and confidence. She's been able to answer the thousand little questions that have come up through my journey with deep knowledge and empathy. That trusted perspective has been a huge part of my physical and emotional healing. As a person, Hilary is professional and so lovely -- from the first few minutes I felt at ease. Her experience and intuitive abilities enabled me to relax as she addressed this tender and delicate area. I also truly enjoyed my conversations in our sessions. Dr Hilary and the Level Up team are authentic, present, and talented. The office is a clean, welcoming space -- truly inclusive and warm. I cannot recommend Level Up Wellness more highly. Dr Hilary is incredible and the entire practice embodies healing and care.
I was referred by my current oncology NP to Dr. Jocelyn to work on scar tissue from my lumpectomy/radiation experience 10+ years ago---I only wish I was referred back then or sooner! Dr. Jocelyn is very skilled in this care, & I've walked away with some self-care practices. At the same time, I've had a chronic shoulder issue on that side, that seems to be partially related to the scar tissue. Again, Dr. Jocelyn was very skilled in listening & ascertaining where the problems were, and particularly in recommending a wide variety of exercises & suggestions to mitgate the problem. Her gentle knowledgeable clear approach brought results. (I've not had good experiences with PT in the past, but this was certainly a game-changer!).
