Select Physical Therapy - San Francisco - Downtown

Fantastic experience: I have had the good fortune to have been treated by Nicole for two different injuries. She is a great PT.

Fantastic experience: I had Nicole for a couple of issues with my shoulder and wrists. She was very helpful, knowledgable, and personable and the assistants were very eager to help as well. I feel much better after attending and would recommend!

Fantastic experience: I was certainly scheduled with the best PT staff member (although they all appear to be very professional). Justin is very personable, professional and appears to have a vast knowledge beyond PT and easy to communicate my needs. BTW.....Leslie is very welcoming & professional as well when checking in. Thanks Select Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: Heather Armstrong has been awesome to work with. She has that perfect balance of being sweet and being hard on you. I love working with her and her team.

Fantastic experience: My experience has been completely positive. Erica is a very highly skilled physical therapist. She is particularly adept at explaining and adjusting exercises for maximum therapeutic results. She is also encouraging, positive and upbeat. I couldn't be happier with my overall experience.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience at Select PT. Melissa Hu is professional, knowledgeable, and personable. Five Stars.

Fantastic experience: The staff and therapists are thorough in developing a therapy plan, professional, and punctual in maintain a tight patient schedule. I highly recommend the California Street location for PT treatments.

Fantastic experience: I did physical therapy twice in my life, and this so far is the best place I've been. Nicole is a true legend, competent and keeps the morale up while doing exercises

Fantastic experience: Everyone at Select Physical Therapy is so kind, helpful and understanding. I am so appreciative of everything that they have done to help me through my injury!

Fantastic experience: Nicole is great and I highly recommend her as a PT and the practice overall. She is focused on fixing the root cause of your issue and not just treating the symptoms with a brace or a boot. You’ll need to do the exercises and work outside of your visits but your reward will be a pain free body. Who knew weak glutes could cause knee pain or weak feet muscles impact your Achilles.

Fantastic experience: Heather Armstrong is the BEST PT. She's incredibly knowledgable, thorough and thoughtful in her approach. I've seen her twice for two very different issues, and both times she was so helpful in getting me back on my feet. In addition to providing excellent medical care, she's compassionate, pragmatic and takes input well. She's also really fun to work with!

Fantastic experience: I’m an active runner and tennis player with hyper mobility. In the last three years, I’ve had a displaced rib, rotator cuff injury and another rib injury. Every single time, PTs at Select Physical successfully put me back together into a stronger human being. I didn’t need any surgeries or shots. Continued personalized physical therapy during those injuries alleviated my pain and aided my recovery. I highly recommend Steve Sunseri, Tyler Deming and Nicole Reiss at Select Physical Therapy.

Fantastic experience: The entire staff is professional, efficient, and friendly. My therapist Heather Armstrong listens very well and structures a program unique to my needs. She adjusts as needed during future visits.

Fantastic experience: Tyler was a great PT. He helped me understand for the first three how to stand up straight And straighten my neck. His exercises were just the right amount of challenging so I could do them on my own without worrying about hurting myself. Helped me a lot —I wish I could've gone for longer, and I'll prob go back at some point if needed. They also seem to have good COVID protocols, symptom check-ins, including temperature, etc. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I love my PT Heather and the staff here! Helped my back pain so much. Love this place, such a friendly atmosphere too!

Fantastic experience: BEST physical therapy in SF! The staff is very knowledgeable, efficient and intuitive to each of their clients needs. They communicate with your doctor, they use multiple PT techniques, they challenge you but they are cautious to avoid pushing too far. I am athletic and I am recovering more quickly due to their outstanding service! 100% if I ever needed PT again, this is where I would go!!!

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best clinics I’ve ever been to. In a male-dominated field, it’s so nice to go to a PT Office filled with awesome women PT and PT assistants who are thoughtful, genuine, and just so awesome at their jobs. I look forward to my sessions here and know I’m in good hands.

Fantastic experience: This is my second time with Select Physical Therapy and Tyler. I had a great experience working through a painful experience of tennis elbow. Weekly appointments were always on time and very helpful in getting over this ailment. Hopeing for the best with current injury

Fantastic experience: I have had some less than wonderful experiences with physical therapists. As soon as I started working with Steven I felt the first hope that I would actually recover. He is very professional, kind and empathetic. He has a passion for his work. I see him interact with others and he never misses a beat. I am so grateful he is working with and for me. Elaine Claros

Fantastic experience: I was really in pain from a pulled muscle and Steven took the time to understand why and where it came. He and I worked out a sensible plan of exercises which I found to be extremely helpful. We have worked together, adding more exercises including stair work. I would highly recommend Select Physical Therapy because they have been totally professional and caring for my needs.

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience with Select PT with all my appointments. Never had to wait when I get to my appointment, friendly staff and therapists. Overall a great place to go for physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: These guys all CARE. They get to know your pain points and psyche and then craft a plan to help you make steady progress. They know when to push as well!!

Fantastic experience: They are amazing, I had back pain and doctor prescribed physical therapy and it was not easy to find the good ones , so I just gave it a shot and Nicole did magic, her hands, her instructions, her knowledge and her punctuality is amazing. I'm a picky person and could not even see any single thing and I truly love it . Also Emily the Aid was so kind and supportive. the only thing they can work on is the front desk to be more professional and on time in responding billing and other questions. Nicole kept following up otherwise I had to wait and also still waiting for the instruction and knowing if I can pay online or not. They can make it better and that's it . Go to this place and feel amazing and all are so supportive . Thank you Nicole and the team .

Fantastic experience: The therapists at Select PT are awesome, the admin staff are very friendly and professional, and the whole operation is smooth and high quality. Heather in particular is wonderful.

Fantastic experience: I started going to Select Physical Therapy for a torn ligament and fracture to my ankle. The knowledgeable staff was able to identify additional problem areas in my hips and knees that put me at risk for additional injury. The staff also keeps the exercises challenging and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Select PT for those looking to rehab and prevent further injury.

Fantastic experience: Select PT was recommended by a friend who was recovering from ACL surgery. I also had a knee issue (not ALC) but Tyler sorted me out in pretty short order. The staff here is exceedingly friendly and offer great support while pushing you through your limits to help you recover as fast as you can. The office is in a perfect location if you're downtown SF, especially in FiDi, so it was an easy walk to and from work. I would recommend Select PT to anyone, regardless of physical ailment. I saw folks in there for feet, ankles, back, shoulders, knees, elbows, hips, and more. They will sort you out.

Fantastic experience: Between competitive physique and downhill skiing, two hip replacements and three shoulder surgeries, I've undergone a LOT of PT. The quality of my experience at this place is unexcelled in my experience. The vibe is welcoming, professional and friendly, the care is focused and personal, the staff - from front desk to treatment table - is responsive and efficient. This place is organized! What I am most impressed with is the attention paid to the entire body in support of the actual recovering area. The sense is that they seek to help the client to come out of therapy in better condition than before the damage was done. My posture is already better!

Fantastic experience: Nicole Reiss did a series of comprehensive movement tests to determine the source of my muscle tenderness/injury and then gave me exercises to relieve and strengthen the muscle and associated muscles involved. She was totally competent, answered all my questions, and was empathetic and good natured throughout. My appointment took place on time, and the entire staff was friendly and accommodating.

Fantastic experience: Since my first visit with Heather!! Was great!! She's fantastic!! !! Recommend this place!! 5 start !! Feel better now after first visit!!!!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Nicole for a broken ankle and she's great! Very attentive, friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to physical therapy by my doctor for some chronic shoulder and knee pain I've been having. This was my first time going to a physical therapist and I was fairly skeptical about what it would actually do for me. I'll admit, most of it from ignorance of what their job actually entails. But wow, I was surprised. My body was surprised. My PT was Heather Armstrong, and she made a world of difference in my every day and every night life. The exercises and homework seem a little awkward at first, one of which made me feel like I was doing part of Beyonce's "Single Ladies" choreography, but that too, proved an important detail in my rehabilitation. And detail is everything when it comes to all the moving parts I can't see but she clearly can. She's great at explaining why you're having the type of pain you're having, why the recovery process feels the way it does, and breaking down your rehabilitation in very comfortable and concise sessions. And her assistants are just as skillful, patient, empathetic, and help you with the same disarming sense of humor and kindness. I almost feel bad that I'm feeling better so soon. Almost. But as soon as I don't I'm definitely coming back here and to Heather.

Fantastic experience: Nicole is the best. Really cares about her patients. Gets you in and out and healthy. Doesn't let PT drag on too long but sets you up for long term success.

Fantastic experience: I've been visiting SPT for about six weeks now and find all aspects of the service excellent. The therapists with whom I've dealt seem very knowledgeable. In addition they, as well as the support staff, are very efficient and friendly. I actually look forward to my sessions!

Fantastic experience: Very professional and friendly! They are very knowledgeable and helpful and always make sure I understand what I need to do and how to do it. A refreshing change from other PT offices that just give you a diagram and tell you to do this 10x. Staff is genuine and very friendly and that goes a long way as well!

Fantastic experience: If you are broken in any capacity, please work with Tyler, he is a natural healer and most compassionate. I never thought I would put my foot down after my broken ankle, but fast forward time spent with Tyler and I am WALKING, so thank you, Tyler!! Best physical therapist I’ve ever worked with, I wish he was my doctor for everything.

Fantastic experience: I am a senior citizen with mobility problems! I’ve done physical therapy in the past but usually get injured or the staff really has no time to listen to what my specific difficulties would be. Not here! After a few sessions I was able to walk better than I have in years. I now look forward to each time I can meet with these incredible therapists. Mine are Samantha and Heather and I send kudos to them They are in a beautiful older architecture style building at California and First Street

Fantastic experience: From first contact everyone has been extremely helpful , friendly and professional. The facilities are very clean and the Therapists are very knowledgeable and attentive.

Fantastic experience: Select Physical Therapy’s expertise has given me the tools & knowledge to repair my injury. The office is professional and has a positive vibe with great support staff. Scheduling appointments and getting through to the front desk staff is easy. And, they accept health insurance. If I require PT in the future, I will be coming back to Select Physical.

Fantastic experience: Nicole Reiss is one of the best physical therapists I've ever seen—she helped me get both my shoulders back into shape after a double latterjet procedure. The office staff & PT aides are super friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: I had wonderful experience with this specific Select PT office. Nicole is excellent to exam my situation. She asks questions and listens to my answer carefully. And exam throughly. The most impress thing is she explains in plain English what is going on with my body and how the PT helps the body. It all makes sense and it motives me. By fully understanding why I am doing and what I am doing is that biggest motivation for me to keeping doing. The PT itself is easy. Often easy things in life is the best. I feel her assistant is also very supportive by understand of Nicole's instruction.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Select Physical Therapy has been great. My PT Tyler Deming has helped so much with a knee pain I was having and I am on my way to a full recovery. The rest of the staff is always kind and helpful. The location downtown is easy to get to and scheduling a time that works with my schedule is easy. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Great people, very cooperative and willing to meet your needs. I thought my knee was in bad shape and it turned out to be weak muscles instead that needed some strengthening. I hope I won't need them again but if I do, I'll know where to go.

Fantastic experience: I am a physician who refers out to physical therapy in the fidi area a lot and I was pleasantly surprised that my own experience with one of my own referrals was nothing short of stellar. I had patients report back positively about Select so I decided to check them out for my own needs. Nicole Reiss, their clinic director, and Stephanie Weaver, her care-assistant (and one day future DPT) were a great team to work with. Thoughtful of my prior history, and with a realistic approach for ongoing self care, I felt very lucky to have met them. Quality-of-care wise, they are comparable to major academic institutions where I have previously received care across multiple states, but with much more affordable rates especially for patients with higher cost-sharing insurance plans. Front desk staff Julian and Ian accommodating as always, and Julio who I worked with for two sessions, also really great. I hope this location is reflective of Select PT in general and I hope they continue to do good work. Thank you everyone.

Fantastic experience: I've always had problems finding a good physical therapist in the past, as well as committing to PT on my end. I'm a young adult that has had shoulder (rotator cuff/bursitis/tendonitis), wrist, hand/finger, knee (ACL reconstruction), and ankle problems - sometimes all at once. I commute from east bay to this Select Physical to see Nicole - she is an amazing therapist that is very focused, thorough, and professional. She took my activities and interests into account, personalizing my exercises and tried to make them fun and challenging. She does not sugar coat, but at the same time it is clear she is focused on providing a constructive and productive session. The rest of the staff there seem pretty awesome as well :) If you're ready to work on your physical limitations/issues, I think this is a great place!

Fantastic experience: I saw Nicole and Sam to rehab my right knee after my meniscus surgery. They were both knowledgeable, caring and effective at getting me back to normal. Really appreciated the way they explained what was happening with my knee and what each exercise was trying to accomplish on my road to recovery. Couldn't have been happier with my treatments at Select Physical Therapy - highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I've just completed 6 sessions of PT that my workers comp insurance company set up. I chose Select Physical Therapy because it was the closest place to me. I'm super glad I chose them. I felt respected, heard and the staff was familiar with my case. My direct doctor was Steven. He and his team were thorough, competent and fun to work with. They made sure to challenge me even when I was running my month and didn't notice the increase in color bands change. I noticed that staff sterilized the PT tabled after every person used it and that was a HUGE plus for me as I'm a semi-germaphobe. I highly recommend this PT location because I've suffered with right shoulder pain for 2.5yrs and after 6 visits and home exercises, my right shoulder is pain free. OMG, you don't know how much you use your primary hand/arm until it's it's injured. I look forward to little to no pain moving forward. Thanks so much Select Physical Therapy staff

Fantastic experience: Heather Armstrong has been great in helping me through my recovery. And the staff are all really friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Tyler Deming is professional, experienced. He focuses his attention on me the whole session though simetimes too tough.

Fantastic experience: Tyler is a professional trainer. Very friendly and helpful. I had surgery back in June on my shoulder. after a couple of appointments, My shoulder range motion has significant improved. The suction cups treatment, heat and cold therapy are very helpful.The trainers here knows what they are doing. when Tyler is on vacation, Samantha helped me to improve every time. They go extra miles to help patients to achieve their goals. I am very impressive what results after every appointment. If you never been to any PT, I recommended this place. Let them help you.

Fantastic experience: First time ever doing physical and i heard so many bad things mainly about receiving pain or unwanted pain well that may be true but from what ive experienced select physical therapy are very good to not push it or overdo it they have a excellent way of treatments, Heather is awesome and the entire staff are very very good i really mean that im impressed the way they all multitask every clients thats being treated its like clockwork the front end are so friendly and courteous and makes you feel comfortable and their greetings are awesome also the other physical therapists whom i see working with other patients are very very good by my observation again impressive, overall i would highly recommend Select Physical Therapy to anyone who wants to heal in a good environment im sure after my physical therapy is complete i will come back if i ever have any other type of injuries.
