Livfit Physical Therapy, Training & Bodywork - Caroline Bourcier, MSPT - Mill Valley, California

Thomas Tucker

In 2015 I had bilateral knee replacement. A tough surgery and even more difficult recovery. In my first session with Caroline it was clear that she was in charge of my recovery. Tough, but understanding, she had me back on the golf course in six weeks. Accordingly, I have been a client since. This is a true, but no nonsense professional with deep knowledge and diagnostic skill. Only last week did I see her on old handball injuries. Almost twelve years later I’m a huge supporter and satisfied client. Tom Tucker

My mom and I greatly appreciate Caroline as our PT. Our family has suffered through several very difficult periods, including a car accident and a diagnosis of ME and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder. Throughout all of our challenges, Caroline has worked with us faithfully, sometimes weekly, to get us back up on our feet. Her professional experience is blended with compassionate people-skills that make all the difference. She’s been kind, creative, and professional. I’d highly recommend her!

Caroline's expertise with lower back pain is unvaluable. My level of pain and disability was such that I was not sure I would ever be able to recover. Not only has she been through so many cases, but she keeps to date with most current scientific publications.
She was able to guide me through the acute time of pain, help me live better (prevent hurting myself again and strengthen in ways I could go back to active life with sport and travels). The fact that she is into extreme sports and been herself with pain brings a great deal of comfort for the patient and wisdom for her in the way she treat others.

Words can't describe how thankful I am to Caroline for "fixing" me. I had complicated compound orthopedic issues some caused by sports injuries and some by spine surgeries. I was in pain for years going from one doctor to another and trying different PT professionals. It was not working and I was so desperate researching on "best PT in Marin" on Nextdoor when I discovered Caroline. Other neighbors posted how they were helped with their complicated issues and I reached to Caroline at once. I showed at her studio with my "dossier" full of MRI, x-ray and surgery reports. Right away I saw she was different from others. She studied my whole body and started to peel my issues away one after another like an onion. She was patient, hands on, professional, kind and so compassionate!!! She gave me my life back. I am stronger, better and most importantly educated on how to keep free of injuries and pain to live a full life. I am so grateful to her for taking me on!

Caroline knows the body and its parts intimately. After a few questions she can go right to the area that needs either massage, more strengthening or stretching. Caroline knows many different ways to do the same exercise. When one does not work she moves to a different way of achieving the same stretch or strength. It is amazing how she knows the body and its functions.

Caroline has taught me how to avoid pushing through places that hurt. I now know that "there are many roads that lead to Rome", when I pay attention to my body I can find ways to treat it with the respect that it deserves thanks to Caroline. Or I go see her and we figure it out together. She has helped me in ways that no other bodyworker ever has.
Thank you Caroline for your care and expertise.

Caroline Bourcier is a smart, focused, dedicated and highly skilled physical therapist-healer. I first started seeing Caroline after a complex surgery for a comminuted tibial plateau fracture that left me with a plate and ten screws in my left leg. Caroline coached me back to strength and flexibility and got me back on my mountain bike, my surf board and a wing foil board. She listened to my goals for returning to all my favorite activities and we went to work! I really appreciated that even when I would overdo it or push too hard on my weekends, she never chastised me but said “hey your body is your temple and you get to use it however you want.” That validation was priceless! In the past few months, I’ve returned to Caroline for chronic neck and shoulder pain (that I ignored for as long as possible). Caroline gives me a quick assessment then starts working on my right and painful places with uncanny precision! I’ve been to every type of musculo-skeletal body worker out there and Caroline has provided the most relief and improvement of anyone I’ve ever seen. All of the study and additional certification work she has done to be the best at her craft are very apparent in the seemingly magical healing of her hands. I am grateful I found her and hope she keeps offering her work for as long as I’m still kicking!

Caroline is a caring, empathetic professional who provides exceptional care for a wide range of physical issues with the goal of getting you healed and stronger as quickly as possible. She really listens to your needs and designs a program to get you back in the game with less pain, more mobility and more self-confidence. She's a super positive person who's a bright light in the PT field who works hard to really make a connection with her clients.

Long time patient (and friend, now). Recommended by my orthopedic doc over 10 years ago as a way to avoid back surgery. Still no surgery. Caroline is skilled and compassionate. She is also a great motivator. Still doing her recommended stretches after all these years. Can’t recommend her enough.
