Gateau Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine

Do you need PT? Go here! The staff is excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly.

Recently, I received excellent rehabilitative care for my injured shoulder at Gateau Therapy's California, MD office. Dr. Nadia, Fred and the rest of the staff provided personalized service in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. They took the time to listen to my concerns and issues in order to develop an individualized rehab program that closely matched my needs. I had an excellent results from my therapy and I highly recommend Gateau Therapy in California, MD to anyone who needs physical therapy services.

Fred and Nadia are phenomenal. I have been working with them for over a year and a half. My flexibility, stamina and strength have increased significantly following my stroke. My progress is beyond my expectations. I especially want to point out Fred’s dedication to me as a patient. He recommended that I increase my therapy to twice a week to speed up my ability to walk and get around. It worked. And then Fred added a third session to work on my arm. We again made progress. Anyway... my thanks to Fred and Nadia for their help and untiring support!!!

I recently saw an orthopedic who diagnosed me with a knee injury and suggested PT. On my own, I chose GPT. During my initial assessment with Mike, I was in awe. Mike smiled at all of the symptoms I expressed as he secretly knew the issue before we even got there. Everything I voiced was insync with his perspective of what my issue was. Come to find out, my knee was the symptom and not the problem! My problem was my pelvis! It was completely out of line and caused my weight to fall into my knee (in summary). Mike worked his magic during an exercise to address my offset pelvis. We walked around the facility and I literally had no pain or complaints! I’m so thankful to have been paired with him and I’m definitely glad I chose GPT. Mike is extremely knowledgeable and well versed and was a pleasure to converse with! He gave me an at home exercise to completely daily and advised I definitely don’t need as much PT as the ortho suggested. He plans to bring me back to dump some at home tools in my belt for self care ongoing. Thank you Money Mike! You are the man!nnUPDATE:nSense my initial assessment, I have had two actual PT sessions with Fred. He’s taught me several exercises to engage the muscles I normally do not, that have been bothersome lately. All have been very simple where I incorporate at the gym on my own, or while in my home. I even purchased a specific band we used during my session that GPT had available! Fred is an attentive listener when it comes to concerns and bodily complaints! For each concern I randomly had or jotted in my notepad to ask him, he had an answer! And he also had a fix to go along with it (a new stretch or a muscle massage). He is very aware of what muscles to target either during an exercise or hands on massage of the muscle. Hasn’t failed yet! Even offered a courtesy cold pack for my knee after my last session! Fred is a people’s person for sure and is full of energy! Huge thank you to him for challenging me, I personally don’t do that enough. All the tools he has added to my belt will definitely get me far! That’s for sure. And I’m gonna have some killer legs!! You too, are the man Fred!!nnWonderful experience thus far! I’m very greatful I decided to go with GPT. I’m very active and enjoy running and my knee has not been an issue every since my initial assessment. Huge relief to continue to do what I’ve grown to love. I rave about the service and treatment I have received thus far almost every chance I get. Thank you GPT!

I have been coming to Gateau Physical Therapy for about 6 weeks now for my neck, shoulder and back. Fred and Nadia are the best. They know what they are doing and I feel like I am getting stronger all the time. I reccomend Gateau to my friends and family every chance I get. I am so glad that I came here for therapy.
