Somatic Nature Physical Therapy SF

I came to Priscilla after dislocating and breaking my ankle and going through surgery to put screws in the bone. I pretty much picked her name out of a long list of recommended PTs provided by my surgeon, and I couldn’t have gotten any luckier to have found her. She really cares about understanding the wellness of your whole body, and approaches healing techniques holistically. She offered multiple approaches for me to strengthen the healing bone through supplements, herbal remedies, mobility exercises, strengthening for the proximal muscles, cupping, and soft tissue manipulation.nMidway through our work on my ankle Priscilla found out that I had been dealing with some shoulder joint pain for many years, and had never experienced any successful treatments. She took it on herself as a project to diagnose accurately for the first time after seeing many doctors over the years, and worked carefully with me to come up with exercises I could do to strengthen supporting muscles and ease the strain on others.nI could not recommend Priscilla any more highly. She is a wonderful healer, and a delightful person to spend time with. She’s supportive, humorous, kind, and attentive. I would send any friend or family member to her for any injury or just to work on improving posture or strength.nMy favorite thing about working with Priscilla was feeling like she really heard and understood all my concerns and was ready to gently push me while ensuring that I was comfortable and feeling positive and listening to my body. It really has been the upside of experiencing a traumatic injury, and I’m very grateful to have an improved connection with and understanding of my body.

I was diagnosed with a hip labral tear and went to several sessions at another physiotherapy practice but was not noticing much improvement. I saw that Priscilla was very well reviewed online, so booked a consultation. Right from the start Priscilla listened carefully to what I said, and was very hands on in her treatment. After just a few sessions with her, I noticed a big improvement, and thanks to her deep expertise now have no more pain and have recovered a far greater range of motion than I had ever thought possible. Thank you, Priscilla!

I've been an athlete my entire life and have suffer through many injuries to my shoulder neck spine and hips and ankles. It's safe to say I've seen over a dozen physical therapist in the Bay and Sacramento area. Priscilla is by far the most effective, caring, empathetic physical therapist I have ever worked with. She has been helping me recover from a knee surgery and the silver lining in the surgery was that I found her and have been able to add her to my Arsenal of Healers- Priscilla is not a physical therapist she is a true healer. She has taken it as her personal mission you make sure I make a even better recovery to my knee and my body then the state it was before the surgery.nnThe modalities that she has used with me include but may not be limited to :nActive ReleasenSoft tissue manipulationnKinetic tapingnCuppingnNaturopathic medicinenCertified yoga instructornTraditional physical therapynnEvery session is customized based on your needs that session. She always takes measurements at the start and after and the improvements are literally quantifiable and not subjective. you truly feel like your leaving in a better physical state as well. With all my other physical therapist I was prescribed exercises and just wasn't sure if it was helping. My leg was atrophied when I arrived and has regained most of its muscle mass.nnShe does not take Cigna but she is with the money if you can afford it ($150/session)

I loved Priscilla holistic approach to her job. I came with multiple injuries: trigger fingers, tennis elbow, shoulder tendonitis and a misplaced rib. She addressed them one by one, directly but also indirectly by strengthening weaker muscles around the area. We used manual therapy, yoga, nutrition and supplements. She videotapes all the exercises which makes it much easier to reproduce them at home. And last but not least, she’s a great human being!

Priscilla is great at what she does! I've had weak ankles for years, and sprained one badly before a trip. Dr Park helped me get it under control with a variety of exercises. She explained the exercises well and got me on the road to recovery. I was at first hesitant about in-person sessions during covid times, but I don't regret it, I felt safe at my sessions and I only wished I'd started PT earlier.
