You just need a physical therapist who hears you.
Pain changed how you move.
Injury changed what you trust.
Surgery changed what your body can handle.
Now you need a real plan.
Work one-on-one with one of our doctors to find what’s holding you back and get back to the life your injury interrupted.
You’re not just trying to make the pain quieter.
You want to run without second-guessing every step. Lift without wondering if your back will flare up. Cut, jump, ride, compete, and move through your day without feeling like your body is working against you.
That takes a different kind of physical therapy.
We look at what hurts, how you move, and what your body needs to handle again. Then we build the plan to get you there.
One-on-one care. Performance-based rehab.
For athletes, lifters, runners, and active adults across Pleasanton and the Tri-Valley.
Most physical therapy feels rushed because it is.
You get a few minutes with the provider, a list of exercises, and the feeling that nobody really connected the dots between your injury and your life.
We work differently.
No aides. No handoffs. No rotating through providers who don’t know your story.
Your plan is built around what you need to get back to. Sport. Strength training. Running. Work. Parenting. Life.
Your first visit ends with a clear understanding of what’s going on, why you feel stuck, and what needs to happen next.
Dr. Rob Bax started this practice because he knows what it feels like to have an injury threaten the thing that makes you feel most like yourself.
After a motocross injury in 2007, he was told he may never race again. The physical therapist who helped him return to riding changed how he saw rehab, movement, and what great care should feel like.
That experience still shapes the way we work.
Today, every doctor here follows the same standard.
We listen first, test what matters, explain what’s going on, and build the plan around what you want your body to do again.
You get care that connects your injury to your real life.
The painful spot matters. The thing you want back matters more.
Dr. Bax played a huge role in my recovery after I tore my ACL and meniscus in Week 1 of my Sophomore football season.
Through every up and down, he was there for me both mentally and physically. He helped me come back the very next season stronger than ever and able to play football again at a much higher level.
I came in after meniscus surgery, barely able to walk and clearly limping. Dr. Rob incorporated a very thoughtful rehab plan, including e-stim along with progressive strength and mobility work. Fast forward to now—my leg is much stronger, my movement feels natural again, and I’m able to return to other activities with confidence. The progress I’ve made under his care has been incredible. This isn’t cookie-cutter physical therapy—it feels like true rehab and performance training.

As a half-marathon runner with a very active lifestyle, I was struggling with stubborn shin splints and sciatic pain that were really starting to mess with my training and daily life. Dr. Rob didn’t just focus on where it hurt — he looked at how I moved, how I trained, and what might be causing the problems in the first place. I’m now running pain-free and feeling stronger than I have in a long time. It honestly feels like I’ve gotten a second wind in my training, and I owe that to Dr. Rob!

You get 60 to 90 minutes with a doctor of physical therapy.
One doctor, the whole time, every session.
We’re an out-of-network provider. That means we’re not contracted with insurance companies, but we do submit your information to your carrier on your behalf.
Here’s how it works: you pay at the time of service. We submit a superbill, an itemized receipt, to your insurance carrier. If you have out-of-network benefits and have met your deductible, your insurance will cut you a check directly. In some cases, if PT is a covered benefit and your deductible is met, the reimbursement can be significant. The exact amount depends on your plan.
HSA and FSA funds are eligible for physical therapy services.
For most people, once they understand what a full hour with one doctor actually changes about their outcome, the math makes sense.
Most people come to us because they’re tired of feeling rushed, confused, or stuck doing exercises that don’t connect to their actual life. Here, every session is one-on-one with your doctor for 60 to 90 minutes. We take the time to understand what you want to get back to and build your care around that goal.
No. You don’t need a jersey, race bib, or competition schedule to belong here. We work with athletes, lifters, runners, parents, hikers, golfers, pickleball players, and active adults who want their body to feel capable again.
Yes. Many people come to us after trying insurance-based PT and feeling like they never got past the basics. We take a fresh look at what’s going on, find the missing pieces, and build from where you are now.
No. The goal is to keep you moving while we modify what needs to change. That may mean adjusting volume, changing certain movements, or rebuilding capacity before returning to full intensity.
We treat sports injuries, training-related pain, post-op recovery, ACL rehab, knee pain, shoulder pain, hip pain, back pain, ankle injuries, tendon pain, lifting injuries, and recurring issues that keep active people from moving the way they want.
Your first visit is where we slow things down and figure out what’s going on. We’ll talk through your injury, assess how you move, identify what may be driving the problem, and start mapping out your plan. You’ll leave with clarity and a real next step.
No. You don’t need a referral to start with us. Once you book, we’ll handle the out-of-network benefits check for you.
You pay at the time of service, and we submit a superbill to your insurance carrier. If you have out-of-network benefits and have met your deductible, your insurance may reimburse you directly. In some cases, if PT is a covered benefit and your deductible is met, you may be surprised by how much you get back.
Yes. We provide sports physical therapy in Pleasanton for athletes and active adults across the Tri-Valley, including Dublin, Livermore, San Ramon, Danville, and nearby communities.
