P3 Athletic & Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: I didn’t go there, but the lady I spoke with was super helpful and nice. It was just not the right fit for what my 81yo dad needed. I really appreciated the honestly and professionalism.

Fantastic experience: tl;dr you will have a highly positive experience under the care of the P3 team My background: I've been active my whole life, never going a day without a sweat. Being active and being an athlete was a core part of my identity, and I took great pride in it. About 5 months ago, I experienced severe knee pain. It prevented me from running, cycling, swimming, and it even made sleeping difficult as I'd grimace every time I had to change positions. I did tons of research and came to the conclusion that it was probably IT band related. I read that the root causes of IT band syndrome wasn't definitive in literature and it seemed that for some, it never gets resolved. After weeks of doing the workouts and stretches that were highly recommended by others that have experienced this issue, my pain was still as debilitating as it was on day 1. I went from being able to swim, bike, and run for hours on end to not even being able to run for more than 10 minutes. I felt hopeless and depressed. My road to recovery: I started by going to a practice where one doctor was simultaneously responsible for many patients. He spent little time diagnosing the issue with my knee and jumped to a conclusion within 5 minutes: 1) IT band syndrome and 2) that my body just isn't made for running. I was then prescribed workouts and stretches, some of which were completely unsupported by modern literature. Relevant exercises that were also widely supported were completely left out. I decided that I needed to find a PT specializing in working with athletes. I came across P3 while searching online and they seemed like everything I was looking for. I scheduled a discovery call and was contacted by Mikey, the front desk & care coordinator. Mikey took the time to understand my background, my goals as an athlete, and my frustrations due to injury. From our conversation, I formed my first impression of not just Mikey but also of the practice. I could tell that the P3 team is a team of well-trained professionals committed to helping people like myself stay active and healthy. During my first visits, I worked with Dr. Julia to diagnose and treat the issues I was facing. Dr. Julia took a detailed approach in diagnosing what the issue was by assessing my symptoms, analyzing the strength/weaknesses of various muscle groups, as well as my running gait and lifting form. She walked me through targeted exercises and listened carefully to my feedback to understand what was helping and what made things worse. From there, she determined that the major contributors of my knee pain were weakness in the hips and poor running form. As the weeks passed, Dr. Julia remained consistent in prescribing exercises and routines based on my body's feedback. She always listened attentively, acted precisely based on science and evidence, and gave very clear directions on what I should be doing while explaining why it mattered. I found myself looking forward to all of my appointments because I always left as a better athlete with more knowledge about my body that I will carry for life. I truly believe the P3 team consists of the highest performers in the field. They hold themselves and their patients to the high standards required to not only overcome injury, but recover stronger. Today, I feel more capable than ever and I have the P3 team to thank. I went from injured and dejected to actively training for a full Ironman, pain free. Mikey got me through the door on day 1. Dr. Julia enabled me to swim/bike/run out and never stop.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been treated for quad, ankle, and shoulder injuries and have had lots of progress and success through their expertise. My experience here has been very positive for both recovery of my injuries and overall service. Everyone at P3 I’ve interacted with has provided great service. Starting with walking in Mikey always has a smile on his face and is extremely welcoming. Since my appointments are always in the early morning, I am usually craving coffee and thankfully they have a kureg at the waiting area for patients to use. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Dr. Julia and Dr. Des both providing great feedback and support towards recovery. They are also both extremely friendly and have a variety of experience in different sport knowledge each specializing in different ones. I’ve interacted with Dr. Michael but never worked with him directly, however he also matches and likely sets the tone of the environment since he is the head PT. I highly recommend coming here for recovery of sports injuries and planning for pain management.

Fantastic experience: Many thanks to Julia for completely resolving my shoulder issue! I highly recommend P3, they’re absolutely incredible

Fantastic experience: Getting physical therapy with the P3 team is easily one of the best decisions I've made in 2024! I was struggling with neck and back pain for a couple of months, to the point where sitting itself was uncomfortable. With Julia's assessment and her treatment plan, I was practically back to normal in a few weeks (making me wish I found Julia much sooner to avoid the months of discomfort). That's not even the most amazing part! With my neck and back feeling much better, I told Julia about knee pain that I've struggled with for years and how I wish I could get back into running. She did an assessment on my knee and created a plan to build up strength in the right muscles so I could run again. We've been working on this for a few weeks now and I am beyond happy to say that I'm officially jogging! And I am so excited to work up to that half marathon I've been dreaming about for years (not kidding, it was actually a dream). Julia is absolutely incredible! Not only is she knowledgeable in her field, she is so down to earth and fun to work with. Having worked with Des and Michael as well while Julia was out, I can confirm that you can't go wrong with anybody on this team! Plus, you get the most positive and welcoming greeting from Mikey each time so you can't help but love being in this friendly environment. This team deserves the 5 stars and more.

Fantastic experience: Been visiting for a few weeks now and really enjoying seeing progress, my squat is finally below parallel!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Michael and his team are fantastic. I'm a very active person, in love with running, cycling, just everything. And unfortunately, with that, sometimes come injuries. When I first started seeing Dr. Michael a years back for a knee injury, it was only after doing a LOT of research to find the right PT. I am so picky in this way because so many PTs out there will only throw workouts at you that they studied from outdated textbooks, and tell you to run less and be less active. It was really important to me to find someone that understands the value of sports and fitness as part of a full life. Dr. Michael and his team genuinely care about your well-being, and take a very holistic approach to physical mobility. They want you to be active, and promote an active, pain-free lifestyle. They had also followed up with me in the past just to keep me accountable. While I had worked with Dr. Michael years past, his team has since expanded, and more recently I've started seeing Dr. Julia due to a foot / back injury and she is absolutely amazing. She has helped me recover, and most importantly, taught me many concepts on the body's mobility that I will take with me forever. If you're having issues, and want to make sure you're not just getting textbook help, I cannot recommend P3 enough.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Julia for a couple weeks for shoulder pain I've had for 4 years. In about 10 days my shoulder has full movement again and pain is significantly reduced, often to no pain levels. I appreciate the upbeat attitude and encouragement from Mikey and Julia. It's a judgement free zone and they meet you where you are and work to get you where you want to be. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Best physical therapy I've ever experienced. Their care and personalized approach are just exceptional!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this place. I was struggling with lot of injuries for last 5years - came with multiple falls on hip/glutes, a small car accident basically I couldn’t run, hike or play high impact sports if I did I was in pain within 10min. After few sessions at P3, Dr Michael corrected my lifting form and with some manual therapy/cupping (black magic) I am able to play badminton with no pain, Dr. Desiree has been treating me for neck/shoulder injuries and within a few sessions with her I finally had a major relief in upper back/shoulder area that, very thankful that I found this place!

Fantastic experience: Great environment with a knowledgeable and friendly group of PTs! Julia was great and was awesome to work with, have been feeling much better physically since visiting!

Positive experience: I like the PTs, but would say admin communication is generally poor. I needed to ask for superbill every week, and when there is an issue, I will only find out after I ask for it. They seem to be fond of check-ins and small talks, but would rather they get the actual billing and communication right. Dr Julia Muller is very great, but today the office called me saying that they are undergoing restructuring and is pushing the patients away from making appointments, which is a bit upsetting; we needed to look for new PTs.

Fantastic experience: So glad I choose P3. Not only did Dr. Julia help me addressing the rotator cuff problem, she also acted as a wonderful coach for teaching me tons of great workout. I’ve never felt so strong and confident. Highly recommend to both athletes and people suffered from injuries.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to P3 for about a month with Dr. Des about a sprained ankle that never properly healed. I was worried I waited too long, but my sessions here have proved otherwise. Dr. Des is highly knowledgeable about how to help you recover and I always feel tremendous progress every time I finish a session here. Highly recommend P3 to anyone who wants to be certain that they can recover from their injury. Also special shoutout to Mikey for being so helpful with setting up appointments and billing. My day is always a little better after the small chats before and after my appointments!

Fantastic experience: From the moment I inquired about ACL rehabilitation, P3 has been exceptional in supporting my recovery process. Mikey reached out immediately and answered any question I had while connecting me with Dr. Julia who developed a personalized plan for my recovery. Dr. Julia always takes the time to explain each exercise, its purpose and challenges me during every session. I feel very confident that I will be able to return to sport under P3's guidance and care.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Mike is an angel that came into my life at a time when I had lost my hope in PT and thought that I had to live with pain for the rest of my life. I was dealing with back and foot pain for about 2 to 3 years before I started working with Dr. Mike. He is very patient in listening to me and understanding my fears and working with me on a customized plan. His coaching and making me understand my body and my symptoms have really helped me being ready mentally to push myself with the physical challenges involved during exercises and increasing activity. I made tremendous progress in the last 4 months and feel 100% safe and confident under his care. Entire P3 family is very warm and caring and add such a positive feeling to my day. Highly recommend P3 team to anyone dealing with pain and want to change it and enjoy life.

Fantastic experience: The one place that can fix you right up. I had severe knee pain and guess what P3 has their magic wand ready for me. My knee pain was quite severe with a 10 on a scale of 10. After seeing Dr. Julia I was so relieved from the pain and I marked it at 1,2, unfortunately I had to move out of the state but I am fully convinced the pain could go to 0. Your initial screenings get so great with Michelle, she is super supportive and hears out all you have to say. Kudos to the team.

Fantastic experience: I went to P3 seeking help with a low back issue. After working with Dr. Muller for a few weeks she was able to resolve the issue and provided drills to help me stay healthy in the long term. The P3 team is extremely caring and competent. I would strongly recommend their services.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend coming to P3 Athletics because it's a great place for detailed, individualized PT. I came in because I dislocated my left-shoulder and I didn't want to go through the regular, generic PT for rotator cuff injuries. I wanted specific manual therapy, stretches, and exercise that would let me squat, pull-up, swim again. Exercises where my rotator cuff is the most vulnerable. I worked with Julia for 12 sessions (about 1x per week) and saw great results. In the beginning, I could barely lift my arm parallel to the ground or externally rotate more than 20 degrees.The manual therapy helped loosen and stretch muscles and tendons that I alone wouldn't be able to do. We immediately started strengthening and with a lot of dedication and hard work, I was able to front and back squat and perform assisted pull-ups.

Fantastic experience: P3 Athletic and physical therapy has been the best thing for me. I have had a lot of issues with leg mobility for years and over the spand of months at P3 there had been a great amount of improvments . The staff is very kind and I had a great experience at P3.  I highly recommend going to P3 to anyone in need of physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: I came to P3 looking for treatment for lower back pain. My experience here exceeded my expectations. Not only did the treatment help fix the pain, I was also able to gain helpful knowledge on how to prevent and treat the pain myself if it were to come back. Great facilities and even greater people. If you are looking for results, this is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: I came in with a variety of issues and had several different activity goals. I was skeptical at first with how I might be able to solve them all, but P3 some how found a way! Dr. Julia and the rest of the team were great in coming up with an action plan that focused on helping me move pain free in Basketball and Snowboarding. I loved the variety of types of treatments, and felt enabled to do exercises outside of the clinic. Thanks P3!

Fantastic experience: I came here for a few weeks for a sprained ankle & neck issues. I’m just 2.5 weeks Dr. Julia worked wonders! My ankle is nearly 100% & my neck is significantly better than it has been for the last couple of years. Dr Julia even helped me come up with a regular workout routine so I could stay healthy while I’m away at vet school. I cannot recommend coming here enough! My brother sees Dr. Pooja for his ankle & shoulder & she’s also a miracle worker!

Fantastic experience: I've been to physical therapy numerous times and this is my favorite clinic. The staff is really attentive to detail and the particular situations in my case. Progress has already been made in less than a month too.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding attention to detail, and exceptional professionalism. The customer service is easily the best I've seen. I checked out three other PT shops in the area and they don't even come close to P3 in terms of communication and ease of use. Pooja helped me to remedy my knee issues though exercise, massage and most importantly to me, lots of education. They really pay attention, and it feels like a family. Even the lady at the front desk, Michelle, is absolutely stellar; from total kindness, to keen attention to detail in every regard (in passing conversation about tea, she remembered my favorite tea and actually had it waiting for me on my following visit, I would give 10 stars if it was an option). My knee is swiftly recovering. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: P3 is THE best physical therapy center I have experienced and I would like to recommend to all! I have suffered from back pain from a car accident for more than 2 years. I have tried other physical therapy, personal training, message, and acupuncture but they can only relieve the pain for a while. Dr. Pooja in P3 was kind and professional that gradually helped me reinforce muscles and taught me the right way to protect it myself. The issue has been greatly alleviated within one month!

Fantastic experience: P3 has been the greatest benefit to my physical therapy so far! I recently reconstructed a torn ACL and was along my recovery process when I had more knee pain than I should have. I was able to find Dr. Pal and she was able to fix my knee pain as well as patiently work with me to help me return to sport. She was so enthusiastic about my progress each and every step and was so helpful in explaining every step of the process. Michelle and Dr. Chin were also fundamental in my recovery and I would wholeheartedly recommend P3 to anyone in need of any type of physical therapy. I fully enjoyed my experience and would return to them over and over :))

Fantastic experience: If you have back pain this is the place to go! I’m in the middle of my golden session but have already had big progress & improvement. My back discomfort, posture and body mobility has gotten way better from the treatment and doing the exercise assigned to me. This is a small clinic, I feel so comfortable coming here for my session because they are so friendly and make me feel like home 5 star well deserved. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: P3 Athletic & Physical Therapy is great! I had a variety of issues from neck to shoulder to knees to be treated, and Dr. Pooja did an amazing job. She is a wonderful Physical Therapist. Very professional and really cares about her patients overall well-being. And, Michelle is the best person to have at the front desk. She is very friendly and really dedicated to making sure that the patients get better and stronger. Overall, this place is highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a physical therapist and staff that really care, I highly recommend P3! Prior to coming here, I was in the position of having to navigate Yelp and find someone who was knowledgeable, caring, supportive, and help me heal. I came across P3 and thought to give them a try, as I was enticed by their free initial visit. Michelle (front office staff) is caring, patient, and has amazing response time. When I attempted to schedule my first appointment, she contacted me within the hour! She was able to explain the process of physical therapy sessions and provided space for me to present any questions I may have. I never felt rushed throughout the initial call. As for Dr. Pooja Pal she's awesome! She knows her stuff and always had me leaving feeling beat up (in a good way)! After a couple days of each visit, I would feel no discomfort and it would motivate me to continue. Though I learned my insurance didn't cover my visits, as they were considered out of network, I decided to stay and follow through because it was nice to work with staff that truly care! Plus at the end of every visit you get to spin their mini wheel of fortune for possible prizes. Upon my last session, we reflected on my progress which was a significant improvement, got my butt kicked (in a good way), and ended with everyone celebrating my "graduation." They presented me with a cute balloon, card signed by everyone, and I got to spin the wheel of fortune for the last time. As I left, I stated, I hoped not to see them again, in a good way. Since beginning my treatment, anytime someone around me mentions physical discomfort or pain, I immediately share P3 to them on Yelp. In conclusion, don't hesitate call P3!

Fantastic experience: Michael is an amazing physical therapist and a great coach. Very knowledgeable, professional, and also very warn. I came to Michael for treatment of knee pain. I had ACL and Achilles reconstruction surgery back in 2017 and 2019, so it’s hard for me to really play basketball without any hesitation. Michael taught me how to built up muscle and strength in a challenging but safely way, and now I can play sports again in pain free!! Highly recommend to people who suffers in injury and want to do something to change about it. Also, Michael is very good at treating back pain. The deep muscle massage and the cupping treatment is extremely helpful.

Fantastic experience: Michael is amazing. From his friendly yet professional demeanor, to his in depth and human centered process, I haven’t met a better physical therapist before. Highly recommend these services.

Fantastic experience: My son is being seen by Dr. Pooja for his soccer injury. From the beginning I could see he is in good, qualified and expert hands.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Chin is an amazing physical therapist! He is very friendly, professional, and knowledgable. I love that he is involved 100% in training and guiding you to help your recovery. Definitely recommend his services!

Fantastic experience: Many people will get perfectly good results at a good physical therapy practice. I am an a very passionate cross fitter, runner, hiker, soccer referee, etc and I wanted a PT that I felt 100% confident understood what my work in the gym looks like and how to advise me on how to moderate my activities while addressing my injury. I also wanted 100% confidence that my treatment would be personalized and efficient.@ and effective. Most physical therapy practices don’t have the A-level staff or the ability to laser focus on one client at a time. P3 has chosen to design a practice to do all of those things. I am so grateful to Pooja for her dedication to helping me to learn how to train to get back to my desired activity levels without pain and with lower risk of injury because I’ve treated the root cause. I also have to give a shout out to Michelle at the front desk who is a complete delight and super organized. I also love the online appointment booking app. Thank you P3!

Fantastic experience: I have been with Dr. Pooja about 3 months and every time I have received wonderful care. I was impressed with her kind friendly approach at each visit. She always took time to answer questions and made sure to address my needs. I’m recovering right now from a back and knee pain and I know Dr. Pooja is going to help me to return to my regular activities which includes walking with my family. In addition, Michelle at front desk is so wonderful. I would highly recommend P3 Athletic & Physical Therapy.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding attention to detail, and exceptional professionalism. The customer service is easily the best I've seen. I checked out three other PT shops in the area and they don't even come close to P3 in terms of communication and ease of use. Pooja helped me to remedy my knee issues though exercise, massage and most importantly to me, lots of education. They really pay attention, and it feels like a family. Even the lady at the front desk, Michelle, is absolutely stellar; from total kindness, to keen attention to detail in every regard (in passing conversation about tea, she remembered my favorite tea and actually had it waiting for me on my following visit, I would give 10 stars if it was an option). My knee is swiftly recovering. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I had frozen shoulders (plural) (aka adhesive capsulitis) and Dr Chin helped me make amazing recovery! If you want one-on-one therapy where the therapist pays full attention to you and continually customize treatment for you, this is the place to go. Sometimes, Dr Chin can make certain pains go away within a single session. It's like magic! I've been at other PT clinics before (for other injuries), and at those places I just felt like a cog in a machine where a session typically consisted of getting rotated between the main (qualified) therapist, their assistant, and no-one while getting iced with ice packs, for maybe a total of 15, 20, and 25 minutes per session, respectively. You get what you pay for!

Fantastic experience: This clinic is awesome! My knee has responded really well and Dr. Chin pushes me to keep getting stronger. I am back to soccer!!!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Michael to alleviate my long term shoulder pain. My shoulder has improved a lot after only 2 sessions!

Fantastic experience: I have been visiting Dr. Michael Chin for weight lifting mobility and injury rehabilitation since 2020 and it is clear that P3 is the best physical therapy team in the area. P3 has grown exponentially to a full team over the past couple years and it shows in the care and attention they provide in comparison to in-network PTs that will have you in and out within 15 minutes. The team members here are also highly athletic individuals which make it very easy to describe and treat any physical issues.

Fantastic experience: By far the best physical therapy I have ever had! I do powerlifting, and I injured my back a couple months ago. I was a little nervous at first because I did not have a good experience in PT before. But Dr. Mike easily relieved my stress from the beginning. He is very knowledgeable of his craft, and he is sensitive to the patient's concerns. He definitely knows how the human body is supposed to move, and he tailors training to what's best for you. Most importantly, he makes sure you can move independently on your own. We found out the root cause of my injury, and I am now able to prevent it on my own. On top of that, Michelle is very warm and friendly at the front desk, even asking what would make you most comfortable while waiting. Even though my sessions are now over, I might find a reason to go back because of how fun PT is at P3! If you do what they say, you will definitely heal and regain your mobility.

Fantastic experience: I want to thank Michael for his help to get my mobility back. I had a right shoulder injury last August that my 1st orthopedic surgeon indicated that some patients might never fully recover, and only be able to do very basic chores in daily lives like brushing teeth. And I should wait a bit before going to physical therapy as it may get worse. Four months after my injury, I still felt quite a bit of pain on my right shoulder, couldn’t lift my right hand up without spending a great deal of effort. I lost most of my flexibility that I started worrying I would never get it back. I got approval from my health insurance to a physical therapeutic care center with poor front desk service that I never heard back from. So I decided to do my own research. I found Michael with excellent reviews and decided to give him a call. I went there for a complimentary assessment, and Michael reassured me what kind of improvement I would make in 12 sessions. After my 1st session with him, I decided to have him as my professional helper even though I had to pay from my own pocket. Michael is not only knowledgeable, but thorough and caring. He explained to me in details of what he’s going to work on my shoulder to loosen the scar tissues which would help alleviate the pain and increase my mobility. He checked and measured my improvement for each of my visit. He’s always patient – listen to my complaints and make suggestions of what I should do to improve. Besides my shoulder injury, Michael also helped with my sciatica pain by showing me step by step the type of exercises I could do at home to help strengthen my core. He also emailed me his exercise demo video specifically for me which is very helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael to anyone who needs physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: I went to Michael for problems I was experiencing with my knee and cannot recommend him highly enough! From the second you walk through the door you can tell Michael is organized and prepared to help you feel better. He takes time to understand the problem and offers many strategies to help. He showed me how to maintain proper form when squatting to take pressure off my knee and gave me strengthening exercises and stretches. All around great experience! Thanks P3!

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Michael from another great PT that I was working with remotely and he has not disappointed! After several injuries and a surgery, Michael has helped with neck, shoulder, hip and even foot pain to get me back to better than ever before. He's very personable, cares for his patients and knows his stuff. If you're dealing with pain and want to get back to activity, I recommend Michael.

Fantastic experience: I came to Dr. Mike Chin for treatment of upper and mid back pain. I had been to other physical therapists, but their treatments were not effective. Mike has a unique treatment that I found was effective and was able to improve my condition. His exercise plan helped manage the pain. He is very knowledgeable in his craft and also very caring. I will be going to him on a regular basis for maintenance and highly recommend him to anyone who is experiencing physical pain.

Fantastic experience: Not knowing how to overcome my chronic injuries to remain active was a big hurdle for me. Michael, better than anyone else I have worked with, was able to teach me about my body, showed me what proper body function feels like, pushed my mental & physical boundaries, and gave me the exact exercises that would help me get better. Michael is proactive, kind and dedicated to helping. Thank you, Michael!

Fantastic experience: I've been to Michael a couple different times and can't recommend him highly enough! He's a really nice and laid back guy, but much more importantly he's very good at diagnosing the issue behind your pain, treating those issues to provide you relief, and then giving you a workout/treatment plan to strengthen your body and provide you more permanent relief. As a former collegiate athlete I've been to a lot of different physical therapists and Michael is easily one of the best I've ever worked with, if you want to get better you should check him out!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Michael over a year ago to alleviate pain in my leg and back that had built up over several years of overuse with unfortunate mechanics. With the improvements from working with Michael, I got busy enjoying my new pain free lifestyle. But I realized that I still could not perform at the level I wanted and returned to work with Michael 3 months ago. The program he has provided to help me build strength and increase my movement has been rejuvenating and exciting! Michael applies his incredible depth of knowledge to develop a safe, step-wise approach for pain reduction and increased performance. His thorough approach and attentiveness to every detail is applied to all aspects of P3 and the client experience. I have worked with him during this trying Covid time with complete confidence in his approach.

Fantastic experience: Easily the best physical therapy in San Jose. 1:1 sessions which really help with seeing progression week to week, knowledgeable, always follows up after hours, and is open to remote sessions if that is an option.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Michael Chin helped me regain strength at my injured right knee area and over-all confidence level to get back into my usual activities before my injury. Before I came to Dr. Chin, I was worried I might have to undergo surgery to repair my knee injury - that’s what the Ortho advised! My knee area was very painful, there was swelling, stiffness, and I felt feverish at times. I have gout which made me mistakenly think the original pain as another gout flare up. But when the pain didn’t go away after the usual gout medication, I realized it was something else. I was using a cane and sometimes walker when moving around and most frustrating was the fact that I could not play tennis anymore. My family and I looked for alternative therapy and found Dr. Michael Chin. I underwent 6 weeks of physical therapy sessions. In just the 4th session, I already noticed considerable improvement on my right knee. At that point, I didn’t find the need to frequently use my cane. This was perfect timing for me to enjoy a family cruise. After completing the 6th session, I could play tennis again (though cautious not to repeat the injury), and now walk cane free. Another surprising result was, aside from regaining strength on the injured knee, I also noticed over-all body strength after my therapy, and for some time now, I haven’t had a gout flare up too! Over-all, using this alternative treatment vs surgery was a great decision and saved us money as well. To top it off, Dr. Chin is such a wonderful person - very accommodating and caring to his patients. I can see his passion to help his patients regain quality of movement and well being. I highly recommend him. Nene SUPANGAN

Fantastic experience: I have had shoulder pain for over a year and after a few sessions Michael was able to increase my range of motion and decrease my pain. I am thankful to have come to p3 and only wished I had done so sooner.

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend P3 Athletic enough. Dr. Mike is excellent at his craft: personable, knowledgeable, and incredibly caring. Thanks, Dr. Mike!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Michael was very welcoming, professional, warm, and genuinely interested in my concerns and how to help to address those. He listened carefully and provided great solutions not just during the consultation but he also followed up later on with more help and suggestions.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Michael for 8 sessions. It was a great experience! The first time I met Michael, I couldn’t lift my left arm. He did some assessment and told me that I have frozen shoulder. He stretched my arm to slowly improve my range of motion and gave me some exercises that I can do at home to recover faster. In the last few sessions, he also let me do exercises to strengthen my muscles. Right now, I am completely recovered and already get back to my normal activities. The whole treatment is very efficient and relaxing. Michael certainly knows what to do to help you. He wouldn’t push you to do anything that you are not ready. You can completely trust him. Michael is a very warm person. Even when I came in on a busy work day, I would forget all kinds of problems and feel very relax during the treatment. I would highly recommend him. If you have injuries or you just want to get fit. Michael can certainly help you!

Fantastic experience: The team at P3 is top notch! I'm an ex D1 soccer player and still playing just about every sport under the sun. Being active is a HUGE part of what makes me me, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my health. They take the time to truly understand what my problems are stemming from and come up with a plan to help me get back to 110%. Not only do I consistently achieve my goals, but I always have a great experience while doing it :)

Fantastic experience: I received a torn ACL from playing basketball and had ACL reconstruction surgery on my right knee. My initial physical therapist was unsuccessful in helping me reach my goal of playing basketball again, so I decided to try again with a different PT, and found P3 Athletic & Physical Therapy. Michael has been helping me improve performance in my right knee. He not only knows his stuff, but he is very supportive and optimistic during each and every session. I am very happy with my recovery, and am back to playing basketball and the activities I love. I highly recommend Michael to anyone needing a physical therapist!

Fantastic experience: Can't thank Michael and P3 enough! I was initially hesitant in coming to see him but I'm glad I took the plunge! I was struggling with being able to run and went through a series of other healthcare providers that did not help. Michael was patient and took the time to listen, giving me one on one attention and not giving me 100 exercises on a sheet of paper. Getting back to running 5K's and half marathons is an incredible feeling. Thanks again Mike!!

Fantastic experience: I have known Michael for a very long time, and he has helped me grow my academy by including physical conditioning lessons into my classes. Michael is always on time, passionate about his work, caring for every student, and extremely reliable. His dedication shows especially through staying as long as he is needed to help a student or a patient. He has also helped by daughter rapidly recover after an injury, allowing her to quickly come back and perform even better than before. There is no doubt Michael is the very best physical trainer and therapist, and you can always rely on him to deliver fast, successful results. I would recommend him with extreme confidence.

Fantastic experience: I'm 50 yrs old with a 25 yr old athletic mentality and I have Michael Chin to thank for keeping me active on the tennis courts, in the gym, and on the mtn bike trails. I've been to him for shoulder, foot, rib and hip issues and he has brought relief through in-house manipulation, stretching, and band work. While also prescribing exercise/ therapy regimens for home as well. I'd prefer NOT to see him at all, but I know when I MUST see him. He is always very professional, listens intently and he is incredibly thorough in his examinations and exercise explanations.

Fantastic experience: Michael is a very professional, positive person, and genuinely wants to get you back into your peak athletic performance. He patiently reviewed my laundry list of ailments and took the time to address each bothersome injury during our sessions. The progress made during sessions with Michael was great! I would come in with lots of pain and a few soft tissue adjustments later, I was feeling much better and had improved range of motion of my joints that allowed me to perform the physical therapy exercises properly. He also provided an assessment on my lifting form for the core basic lifts (deadlifts, squats, bench press etc.). He observed a few tendencies I had for favoring one leg over the other and gave me tips on minor adjustments to perform the lifts safely on my own. The home exercise plan he sends is very useful and easy to understand. He provided a lot of exercise options for me, but also gave a priority on the list in case I was short on time and could only do a few of the prescribed exercises. The office facility is very clean, comfortable, and has plenty of parking. With the one-on-one sessions you have the whole office space to yourself. Michael also has his office supplied with high quality athletic equipment and he will even provide you with lacrosse balls or stretchy elastic bands for doing exercises at home! As a final note, every time I had a session, I left feeling my injuries were physically improved and I always left in a great mood! Michael is so fun and positive and it makes the rest of my day better :)! My recovery went very well under Michael's care. He is the first call I will make when my next injury comes along. Thanks for fixing me Mike!

Fantastic experience: I've known Dr. Mike for many years and his main interest has always been working with people of all ages to get them feeling better and moving better. As a former athlete and recreational lifter, he definitely understands pain and injury past the treatment and into the psychological and behavioral effects it has on people. He's in the gym almost everyday working on his own health and fitness, which better equips him to work with the greater active population here in the Bay Area. He's helped me personally through various injuries over the past 6 years and to this day I am still able to enjoy doing any physical activity I want without pain. Overall, one of the best in the area!

Fantastic experience: Dr.Chin is awesome - helped me fix a bad shoulder that bugged me for a long time. His approach is simple and very much sustainable in the long run. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to either be pain free while exercising or push harder. Chin is the man !
