What clients are saying

  • I needed someone that understood my particular situation to create a program that not only worked for me but I'd be encouraged and willing to take on as we progress through my journey. Margaret is incredible and I can't say enough about her willingness to be patient but yet push me when I didn't know I could do it! You owe yourself to call her. The environment at START is equally as welcoming with the entire staff.

    Tina L.

  • Had some bad shoulder and neck pain for several months, but after working with Dr Collin, my pain has vanished. Each visit diminished it, and he made putting in the work enjoyable. He was patient and kind and he took great care to go over my situation, provide routines, and unlike other PTs I went to, it seemed like he actually cared about me. I highly recommend visiting!

    Luke T.

  • I started working with Dr. Alan Lee over 1 year ago when I moved back to CA and my old acl knee replacement started stiffening and inhibiting my movement among other discomforts. He is trained and certified from the Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) which allows him to utilize natural techniques to assist with relieving injuries, discomforts, and pain. Dr. Lee continues to teach me more about how my body functions and how to make it better naturally without the help of outside medication and encourages me to continue with my active lifestyle. I highly recommend Dr. Alan Lee if you are looking for a knowledgeable and caring PT with great bedside manners and very tailorable exercises, then he is the one.
