Back to Life

I went to this clinic for about an entire year (mid 2013 — mid 2014) and by the end of it all I had nothing to show for it. I used to drive about 100 miles round trip once or twice a week (while in a lot of pain) to come and get treatments mostly by Lisa Gibson who no longer works there, but also by Dr. Amy as well. I must have spent more than $ 2,000 on all my visits combined.
I will say that Lisa and Amy did try very hard to relieve my symptoms, however it did not work. They were both very kind, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable in their line of work so I feel bad leaving only 2 stars, but I went to get relief from pain which their website says they offer and yet after all the money, time and effort I put into it all, I came out with no results.
Amy eventually recommended that I go see an osteopath that she knew of who was apparently extremely skilled. I did go, for another year actually, and thousands of dollars later I also received NO relief (you can read one of my other reviews and see what I am talking about). I might sound like a negative Nancy by now, but when you’re in pain and expect that all the time, exercises, stretches, manipulations, money etc. are going to help and it doesn’t… well that can frustrate one quite a bit. As you can see others who have left reviews obviously had success with the clinic and I don’t doubt it, as I said earlier Dr. Amy is very intelligent, it’s just unfortunate she couldn’t help me with my musculoskeletal issues.

Lisa Gibson amazing; I’ve already received more attention in 3 sessions than I have in several months at UCSF. Have just started p.t. here and have hope, which is HUGE.

Amy is wonderful and amazing and lovely! I’ve known her since February 2013. She quickly became the medical professional that I trust the most. I saw her about once a week at first. Then we took a break because we thought my surgery had fixed everything. Now I’m back to once a week, sometimes even two. I never leave there feeling like I do when I walk out of an MD’s office, which is usually annoyed and frustrated. I always feel heard and like we addressed whatever is hurting the most.
I highly recommend Amy, especially to those that are currently frustrated with their health and feel unheard by their MDs.
Amy is magical. C’est tout!

Amy Selinger is magical. I am so lucky I found her. I had a lingering SI joint /​hip injury for about a year and went to see her after going to a number of different doctors and physical therapists who were unable to help me. From the moment I met with Amy, I knew I was going to heal. She was able to pinpoint exactly where the source of my injury was, and she explained to me the mechanics of my body that were causing it to linger. She is extraordinarily knowledgeable and professional, and she is able to treat injuries with the perfect blend of attention to detail on a small-​scale, while also taking into account the bigger picture of her patients’ lifestyles and personal goals. I have already recommended several friends to Amy without a moment’s hesitation. She is, hands-​down, one of the best physical therapists in the profession.

similar to other folks who have written reviews, i came to amy after seeing several other doctors and physical therapists — all were good, but no one could explain to me what was going on, or help me get better — and i was getting closer to a surgery route. i’ve had a nagging injury for over a year now. within a month of visiting amy, i’m finally seeing improvement!
i love the way she tackles injuries. she looks at all the puzzle pieces of your body: your alignment, funky ways you’ve learned to compensate for weaknesses — and hones in on the issue (s). she also teaches as she goes, which i love, as it guides how i deal with my injury day-​to-​day.
if you’re looking for a PT who is supportive, perceptive, and looks at your whole body as a picture, amy is for you, too!
one note: as with all good PTs i’ve encountered, expect to book a bit in advance. and then when you get your hour with her, expect all of it to be focused on you!

Amy Selinger is an astounding Physical Therapist. Her practice is oriented toward non post operative physical therapy. Her goal is to help address the biomechanical problems in your body that are causing the pain, in order to both get rid of the pain, and avoid surgery. I have had many physical therapists over the years, but none have paid so much attention to my body alignment, and to really understand what is going on that is causing pain. She then designs a very individualized excercise régime, which evolves over time.
She does not take any insurance, but I have submitted her bills to my insurance and gotten some reimbursement. Her fee is less than a massage, and the long term effects are much more dramatic.
