Physiopuncture

Jared is an amazing IMT physical therapist. As a Chiropractor I needed someone to refer patients in need of rehabilitation of joints and long standing structural/​muscular imbalances. I interviewed lots and lots of PTs before having a referral from another PT that Jared was the go to guy for really tough cases. He is THE BEST in San Francisco and has worked wonders for my clients. His calm demeanor and attentiveness are just 2 of the great traits that add to his warm personality.

Jared is a great acupuncturist and physical therapist. I would highly recommend him to others looking for an excellent physician. I have chronic neck pain and he has started to help calm it down so it is manageable. He has a very calming demeanor and is an easy person to talk to as well.

I want to give Jared 10 stars, because he is that good. He has helped me in so many ways, it’s hard to know how to even begin to communicate it. Jared is truly gifted as a healer. He uses a subtle but extremely powerful and precise type of manual therapy, combined with acupuncture, to affect deep changes in the body. His techniques are so gentle (and targeted) that at first you find it hard to fathom that anything is happening. Yet when you focus into your body, you can literally feel the muscles and connective tissues unwinding and becoming unknotted. Very amazing and powerful stuff.
Jared is also highly intuitive and has a beautiful sense of when deeper emotional issues might be affecting the physical body. He helps you connect with all levels of your being to bring them into greater alignment and ease, and to propel you to a greater level of healing and thriving.
I always leave his office feeling lighter, happier and more comfortable in my body. There are lots of therapists out there, but Jared is a true master. I love him!

Can I give Jared more then 5 stars? He deserves it. He’s such an amazing person. I have had 2 knee surgeries and years of PT. Jared has taken away my chronic knee pain, helped with my insomnia and stress levels. Jared cares about his patients like no other. I Highly recommended him. So blessed to have found him.

My rating is 5++. I have unfortunately had 4 knee surgeries. I was scheduled for a 5^th surgery when I first saw Jared. I hobbled in and received my first treatment from Jared. Afterwards, I hopped off the table and much to my surprise I was not only walking without pain, but also doing deep knee bends. Fast forward 6 years and I have yet to have that 5^th knee surgery.
Jared is my go-​to whether I have a little strain or my knee is acting up. Life changing.

Jared is amazing.
He is a down to earth guy who cares about your wellness from the inside out. I have an autoimmune disease and was feeling terrible until I came to see Jared. He assessed my diet, lifestyle and physical body and offered some dietary changes along with realigning some areas that were off. I learned by following his suggestions I could really feel great and I do!
Jared has helped me maintain energy levels that I have not had in a while. He also makes suggestions of things you can do at home to keep things moving along.
I can’t say enough about how great he is, find out for yourself and give him a try!

If you are looking for a holistic, remarkably fast, and long term solution to physical pain or are recovering from an injury, I would highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Jared Van Der Beek at Physio-​puncture.
I love running, biking, hiking, etc. so when I managed to throw out my back to the point where I couldn’t bend over or even put on shoes, I was at a complete loss as to what to do. I got two massages and was adjusted by a chiropractor, but the pain and immobility only got worse. I then made an appointment with a traditional doctor, who would have likely prescribed muscle relaxers and a brace, but fortunately was referred to Jared by my running coach.
Jared quickly assessed my body and identified all of the different issues that were causing my back to lock up. He immediately got to work on making the proper adjustments, releasing tension in the fascia surrounding my muscles, and restoring the normal mechanical movement of my body. He also prescribed stretches, exercises and dietary changes that I could do at home. After 10 sessions, my body felt better than it has in years and I now have a much better understanding of my weaknesses and tendencies and most importantly how I can ensure long term health.
Jared’s objective is to heal his patients and he (unlike many doctors today) is not motivated by creating a reoccurring and lucrative stream of patients with chronic pain. He’s also a pleasure to talk to and is incredibly informative. I’ll definitely go back for «check-​ups» or if I have any future injuries or issues.
