BaseCamp Physical Therapy - Petaluma, California

I've had amazing results working with Josh. I'm a sprinter and have had issues pulling muscles over the past few years. Josh figured out what the root cause of it all was and created a super useful plan to strengthen my weak points and keep me on the track. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BaseCamp PT!

I have had the absolute pleasure of stumbling upon Basecamp and getting to work with their amazing team. I struggled since high school with knee problems which had hindered me from doing what I wanted to do. It limited my running ability as well as my performance in the gym. I worked with basecamp for 7 weeks and saw an insane amount of improvement in my knee. I worked with Josh the past couple weeks before I had my last session and it was an absolute pleasure. You can really see how much he actually cares about getting you to where you want to be, and help you to achieve your goals. I would keep working with him but I am moving to Arizona. And when I told them that, he offered to refer me to other physical therapists in the area, which I greatly appreciated. I really couldn’t say enough good things about them, thank you!

Josh is just great. I am a Nurse Practitioner and understand the importance of an accurate evaluation and development of an appropriate plan, by an any member of the healthcare team. Josh does so in a manner that far exceeds competence. He listens intently and does a thorough and appropriate physical examination. I have a clear understanding of his plan, which is well aligned with my goals of aggressive physical activity and training, without causing injury.

I am an endurance athlete and injured my knee at the end of the off-season just as I was prepping to begin ramping up training for a 70 km swimrun. I knew I needed to get my knee (and legs and shoulder and core) strong and am so glad I found BaseCamp PT! Josh helped identify my weaknesses and focused training to build strength and stability, exactly what I needed. Just 7 months later I competed in the biggest race I've ever done and had no knee or hip pain. I highly recommend Josh and Basecamp if you're focused on getting back to whatever activities bring you joy.

I've had a wonderful experience at Base Camp. They've helped me with a variety of aches and pains. Josh is a fabulous diagnostician and somehow just knows where my pain is coming from and what's causing it. I've only been a few times and already my pain is significantly reduced. I recommend them to anyone who hurts!

If you’re looking for a great Physical Therapy team, I urge you to reach out to BaseCamp Physical Therapy. My hip arthritis progressed to the point of not only daily discomfort but the pain started to impact my overall quality of life. I’d seen two other PT’s over the years but had limited results at best. BaseCamp changed everything for me. The hour long sessions where your the only client means you receive 100% of the teams attention resulting in an exceptional level of communication and care. That coupled with their excellent subject matter expertise will move you in the right direction. It did for me. After two month of work with the team I was back surfing again, having taken nine month off due to pain. I can hike and do day to day things now that caused so much discomfort before. If you commit to BaseCamp (and do the homework exercises) I bet your outcome will be like mine which is a life changer.

I went to see Dr. Josh because my right knee was clicking and sore during activity. After a few weeks, it started to get worse. I have never had something like this before, so I knew at this point that random mobility or recovery would not be enough. Instead of chasing things on my own, I sought out professional help.

I considered going through my HMO, but I was worried about the length of time to get into see someone and as an active person, I did not want to be told, “Just stop doing the things that cause pain.” I wanted to return to activity better than ever and I knew Dr. Josh from a fitness expo the previous year, appreciated his approach, and booked an appointment. I was able to see him within two weeks.

After working with him for a few months, my knee feels much better and I am able to participate fully without limitation or hesitation. As an active individual, I keep getting other minor tweaks to the shoulders, hamstrings, or low back…and Dr. Josh was always able to prioritize areas of higher discomfort and adjust movements to help me get better and back to 100%. Dr. Josh is great at trying things out and making recommendations based upon how I respond, and not just because his own agenda. He was always asking questions on how things felt and was very attentive to observe small changes in movement quality or expressions to help him identify the optimal way forward.

I have recommended him to a couple people at our gym and I really appreciate his goal to get back to a high level of performance over the long term while simultaneously reducing pain and discomfort in the short term.

Thankfully, I am pain free and given the range of exercises that Dr. Josh provided during our sessions, I hope to stay that way. However, if something comes up, I am confident that if I needed a knowledgeable and positive professional, Dr. Josh and Base Camp Physical Therapy are always available to get me in to figure things out.

I've had an awesome experience at BaseCamp Physical Therapy and have never felt better after working with Josh for the past couple of months. I first came to BaseCamp to help with an injury that was negatively impacting my running. Before BaseCamp, I spent over a year pushing through the injury, unable to fix it, because I didn't understand what the issue was. After a couple of sessions with Josh, we were able to determine my injury was not a hamstring injury as I believed, and were then able to treat it differently and successfully. Now I'm back to running ultras and sprinting pain free - I had forgotten what that felt like and I'm so thankful to feel super strong. Now I get to work with Josh to improve upon my muscle weaknesses, form, and become a better runner overall.
I would definitely recommend BaseCamp to anyone looking to improve their performance or finally fix that injury or pain they've been ignoring. If you're in Sonoma County or Bay Area and looking for a sports physical therapist, check them out. They have a great set up with all necessary equipment, tools, etc. and the sessions are always a fun time!
