Wish Physical Therapy and Wellness

Experiencia fantástica: Dawn's professionalism, wrapped in warmth and compassion, is a perfect combination for feeling better and moving well in our bodies... from any starting point. I can't thank her enough for empowering a better, healthier life over many years!

Experiencia fantástica: I've worked with way too many PT's without achieving significant improvement. Fortunately, I found Dawn. She doesn't just prescribe exercises to deal with the painful spot, she logics out why the pain is there to begin with, then treats that. She's dramatically improved the quality of my life.

Experiencia fantástica: I couldn't be more impressed by Dawn. In just one session she managed to cut my nerve pain in half, and over the course of four sessions, she completely eliminated it. Her ability to pinpoint the root of the problem by just looking at my body mechanics and feeling my tight/impinged muscles was truly magical. She's now even improved old aches in my neck and hips that I didn't think were fixable by connecting them to the same underlying issue. It sounds silly, but she actually makes me feel younger after each session. I couldn't recommend her more - for both alleviating pain and just improving your overall well-being.

Experiencia fantástica: Dawn's classes are amazing! They're a perfect balance of challenging, fun and relaxing. I've learned so much about ways to improve my balance and how to stretch to keep myself healthy. Dawn motivates, coaches and inspires everyone in her classes so that they're fun and educational!

Experiencia fantástica: Dawn's mobility class is a fantastic all body class. It is clear her long time PT practice informs her design and approach to teaching the importance of mobility training. As a PT her understanding of physiology, fascia, and anatomy coalesce in a nice whole body movement class. I enjoy each visit, and how she pays attention to individual needs of each student. She is clear and intentional as she explains each movement exercise. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Experiencia fantástica: Dawn is extremely competent. She tailors every session to my specific needs and concerns. She encourages and supports me to keep moving while healing, which I love.

Experiencia fantástica: Dawn helped me rehab from a hamstrong strain. She's great. Very experienced and knowledgeable. Now I see her for stretching and strength coaching to avoid future injury.

Experiencia fantástica: Dawn is knowledgeable and easy to work with. She has helped me troubleshoot and recover from injuries (knee and neck), and has been invaluable getting me back to moving comfortably. Working with Dawn and incorporating her suggestions into my daily routines has helped me get me back to doing the things I love to do.

Experiencia fantástica: Dawn at Wish Physical Therapy and Wellness is the quintessential physical therapist. She listened carefully, attended to everything I told her about and, like an expert detective, she found the missing links to help improve my pain. I have no hesitation with recommending her services to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: My son who is a very active and fit soccer player first started to see Dawn with a hamstring injury and she was able to get him back to peak playing performance. I ended up seeing her myself for a shoulder injury and found her to be THE BEST Physical Therapist I have had (unfortunately I have had many). First off, she really listens and studies your body. She gets down to the root of the problem and formulates a plan going forward that not only addresses healing the injury, but tips and pointers on how to maintain a stable and healthy body. Each visit she gives her undivided attention and really cares about your healing.

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic and professional.

Experiencia fantástica: Dawn has gotten to the source of my shoulder pain and numbness in my Fingers and given me exercises that are easy to follow. Appointments are Easy to schedule. She is a physical therapist who is so skilled at listening to me and then helping me feel better. I am so grateful

Experiencia fantástica: Dawn was a lifesaver! I called her because I was told that my wait time would be at least a month before I could see the physical therapists my orthopedic dr recommended. I had broken my ankle and although the bone had healed I was still experiencing significant swelling and needed immediate help to get my strength back. Dawn fit me in right away, was so incredibly knowledgeable, and really listened. I looked forward to each visit because of her calm energy...and she has great views of the Bay to boot! She gave me videos to exercises that I could do in between visits and I had excellent results. She checked in on me regularly. I can't say enough great things about her and would recommend her to others in a heartbeat. Dawn's support made all the difference for me.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience! I've been seeing Dawn to address my knee pain. She is helping me with various exercises, and maybe more importantly, teaching me about how movement and body parts are all inter-related. I feel like I have gained a valuable understanding of how my body works that will benefit me in the long run. Thanks Dawn! (As a side note, it also felt safer during Covid seeing just her in her home office versus a typical medical office building with more people.)

Experiencia fantástica: Brought my mother to see Dawn on the recommendation of a friend. My Mother has had arthritis for over 17 years and more recently a shoulder replacement. She was in a lot of pain and had a lot of joint mobility issues. Dawn was amazing! she really listened to my mother and within a couple of weeks, we saw lots of improvement in her pain and mobility. Most importantly, my mother now has more confidence in her ability to do things and live independently. Dawn is highly skilled and very empathetic. She is a real pleasure to work with. I would recommend her to anyone with chronic shoulder issues.

Experiencia fantástica: After months of research and stress and bouncing between providers for a mysterious chronic pain in my thoracic spine, Dawn truly felt like a godsend. Her vast knowledge of the human body and years of experience are apparent through her work. I'm moving better and feeling more comfortable and confident in my body than I have in a year.

Experiencia fantástica: Dawn is absolutely the best at her craft -- she is tremendously knowledgeable, always finds the exact program that meets your needs, and cares for her patients with the highest standards of professionalism and care. She quickly gets to the heart of the problem, and always has great recommendations for exercises or treatments to help as well. I could not more highly recommend anyone!!

Experiencia fantástica: Dawn is a thorough, thoughtful and skilled physical therapist. She was able to identify the primary and secondary issues related to my pain and I saw improvement in symptoms after my first visit. I continue to improve with her specifically designed home exercise program and with each subsequent visit (3 so far). She is easy to talk to and even checks in with me in between visits. Highly recommend!!

Experiencia fantástica: I have seen Dawn off and on over many years for acute ortho problems. From the first time she treated me back in the early 2000's to my latest injury this year, she has been consistently outstanding in her holistic approach. Yes, she talks about icing. Yes, she talks about anti inflammatory meds. More importantly, she focuses on what got you to her in the first place; how your body was injured and what you can do to prevent the injury going forward. Her explanations are succinct. She helps you connect the injury to your existing body mechanics and gives you practical exercises that will heal the injury while simultaneously strengthening the weakness that allowed the injury to begin with. What she doesn't tell you to do is stop whatever activity you were doing when the injury happened. Rather, she encourages you to take the appropriate amount of time to heal & strengthen, then restart what you love to do with a stronger body and more comprehensive understanding of how it moves. If there were 10 stars, I'd figure out a way to give her 20. She's just amazing.

Experiencia fantástica: I could not give a higher recommendation for Dawn. I came to see Dawn because my tennis calf injury was taking a long time to heal, and was recurring. She not only got me back on the court, but I still do the stretches she taught me before I play, and I feel like they have prevented injuries to other parts of my body. Dawn is very intuitive, gentle, and super effective. I have a better understanding of how my body works after working with her.

Experiencia fantástica: Dawn is an amazing PT - asks a lot of questions, listens deeply, and can always figure out where the real source of the problem lies. She's provided immediate relief for me for a frozen shoulder, a cranky knee, and intermittent back pain, and gives lots of home exercises and suggestions for modifications to speed up healing. I refer friends and family to her all the time!

Experiencia fantástica: Dawn at Wish Physical is honestly a miracle worker. She is an amazing listener first of all. And then she takes what she hears and she just "finds" the problem! Her knowledge of the body and how it all works together has solved tendonitis in the past, and she is currently getting me back to a functioning shoulder after a pinched nerve in my neck and some wear and tear in the shoulder area. She is kind, thoughtful, and I can highly recommend her!

Experiencia fantástica: Dawn works miracles on injured bodies. I went in with a frozen shoulder -- unable to reach across my body to put on a seat belt or raise my arm even to shoulder level -- and with work am now back to 100%. She also helped my teenage son with some significant IT band issues. Everyone who I've referred to her raves. I've worked with a fair number of PTs over many years and Dawn is definitely the best.

Experiencia fantástica: Dawn is amazing! Her depth of knowledge about the human body is phenomenal. She helped me identify the source of my pain, gave me exercises to retrain my muscles, and provided hands-on treatment to provide immediate relief. I recommend her wholeheartedly!
