Healthwell Physical Therapy Group

Healthwell PT is a place with heart and soul. I have had longstanding injuries needing PRP/Rolfing/chiropractic even stem cell therapy for 15 years. I finally wanted to find a place that specialized in hypermobility. From my first visit with Sonam I felt like someone finally understood all that I went through. A podcast that she recommended completely changed the understanding of me and my body. Every time I go in to see her, she genuinely is happy to see me. She incorporates so many different techniques in her care of me. Manual therapy/cupping/adjusting my SI joint and sprained ankles/Feldenkrais. I even get to workout on the pilates reformer and carraige. She also has shockwave therapy and goes above and beyond when treating me with this. The prices are extremely affordable for San Francisco. Her and other therapists are not trying to sell me anything and actually tell me to conserve my funds until I would really need a shockwave treatment. I was so impressed with Megan and Carolyn (2 other PT's) as well. I learned at how much my breathing and diaphragm is affecting my fascia and how it can cause ligament tears and sprains. This is so different than other PT places that may double book and then you spend the rest of the time with an aide. Don't get me wrong, aides are great, but they may not understand manual therapy. Or even places that I have been where they have a trainer that is managing 4-6 clients at a time. Healthwell is a place that I come not just for my physical health, but because Sonam and others truly care, it is also amazing for my mental health! This office is a treasure. Their front desk staff is kind, organized and prompt as well!

I had an amazing experience at HealthWell Physical Therapy Group. Their latest shockwave therapy machine provided almost instant relief for my lower back pain! After struggling for so long, I finally found something that gave me lasting results. The team is knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about patient well-being. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with chronic pain!

I've tried several PT practices in SF and Healthwell is hands down the worst one. They don't accept insurance, which is often a sign that the provider is good enough to charge premium rates. However my intake appointment was disappointing and I walked away with no useful information. Sonam prescribed me 1.5 very simple home exercises, which I knew was not going to be enough. I asked her for more but she refused, probably because trickling them over multiple appts is a retention strategy. Also they have a lot of availability and were able to schedule me for the intake and several follow-up appts very quickly. Initially I was surprised because PT slots are hard to book in this city but now that I've experienced what they have to offer it makes sense that they have low patient retention. The best physical therapy I've had in SF was surprisingly at one of the busy in-network practices. tl;dr: Ineffective, and certainly not the premier care you'd expect from an out of network practice.

Literally one of the best medical offices I’ve ever been treated at. Megan has been a profound member of my team and has helped me make incredible changes in my treatment that for the first time are helping not hurting in YEARS. Whole office are smart, educated, patient, compassionate and especially gentle if you have learning differences or need accomidations.

Simply the best! Over the years I’ve had hip, neck and pelvic issues that required PT and every time, every specialist doctor prescribed Healthwell Physical Therapy because “they’re the best”. And I must say, they have earned that reputation. Brianna is exceptionally knowledgable, skilled and compassionate. She really takes the time to understand what’s going on and is meticulous in executing her rehabilitation plan. Plus, Leticia and the rest of the front office staff is great too! It really makes a difference when you’re cared for, feel better, and are able to function properly and have a good experience with front/back office staff.

Rafaela at Healthwell has been an absolute lifesaver! I was referred to Rafaela by my provider at One Medical after struggling with persistent neck and shoulder pain. The clinic's efficiency was impressive – they were able to get me in for an appointment within days and schedule a month's worth of visits in advance. Rafaela's expertise and dedication to getting to the root cause of my pain have been invaluable. She has taken the time to thoroughly understand my condition and develop a tailored treatment plan. Through her guidance and the exercises she prescribed, I've been able to significantly reduce my discomfort and am well on my way to strengthen my body. I couldn't recommend Rafaela and the team at Healthwell enough. Rafaela has been patient, encouraging, and truly invested in helping me avoid setbacks and achieve lasting relief. If you're in need of exceptional physical therapy care, look no further. Thanks to their help, I'm well on my way to recovery.

I came to Healthwell after a particularly painful flare up of chronic shoulder issues, and I've been having an excellent experience here. The care is highly personalized and the treatment plan is increased carefully. Rafaela is amazing, so much knowledge and practical suggestions aside from exercises. I've also been super impressed with the admin side of things. Samantha and Michael are prompt at getting back on appointments and were very kind in walking me through some of the insurance implications. A nice bonus is the free parking lot in the building too Worth every penny so far

I’ve been to Healthwell to help heal from a few injuries over the past 10 years. I found it to be a great practice with consistently excellent therapists. Most recently Megan did an excellent job helping me regain full pain free mobility in my hip after a fall. She really helped me understand what she saw and explained why she chose certain exercises. She was great and I feel like I have new tools to stay well.

I have had PT before at other locations for previous injuries and nothing compares to the treatment and care I have received at HEALTHWELL. Rafaela Perkins is by far the best physical therapist I have ever worked with. She is kind, patient and is always willing to work with my crazy schedule. I can do PT at work or home and she is always flexible with my needs and never pressures me to do more than I can. I look forward to our appointments and end our meetings feeling much better than beforehand. 5 starts all the way!

I recently began receiving services through Healthwell for a severe pinched nerve and have found all the staff helpful and attentive to my particular needs. Each physical therapist has coordinated with the work by another therapist seen, when my scheduling needs were being met, and sent me home with clear helpful exercises to do on my own. Highly recommend the Healthwell PT Group
