Visceral Physical Therapy - San Francisco, California

Erik Olson

Joey is an incredible physical therapist! I can't recommend him highly enough! I was performing in the Broadway play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Curran Theater in San Francisco, and Joey was our primary PT resource. I can honestly say I would not have made it through the contract without him. Joey takes such care in his work. He excels at diagnosing ailments, or physical weaknesses, and educates you as to why something is happening. He always developed a manageable set of useful exercises that got me through rehab periods. I learned so much about my body through working with him, and am grateful that I recovered from every injury I sustained doing a very physical, demanding show. On top of that, he was always impeccably kind, patient, and professional. Thanks for everything you did for me, Joey!

Joey is an amazing PT! He was the second PT I worked with on my ACL rehab. He was the perfect balance of pushing me and helping me test my limits as I got ready to return to sport but also was quick to let me know when I needed to take a step back. Joey has amazing attention to detail and really cares for his clients. He listen to you and helps you better understand your whole body and how it functions. I would recommend Joey to anyone who seeking a PT who cares and will push you when you need it!

I suffered two tibial plateau fractures and so was non-weight bearing for months. The recovery was difficult because of leg and feet atrophy. Four 4 months straight Joey took me through all the steps to recovery. Extremely knowledgable, convivial, empathetic and appropriately forceful, Joey is the best. I am back to biking and hiking.
If you want to recover and be like you were, you should call Joey.

Joey is a gifted physical therapist and very personable. He is patient about explaining anatomy, rehab plan, and long term adjustments to prevent re-injury. He describes exercises clearly and changes up the routine enough to keep each session engaging. He also has a solid referral network. Highly recommend.

Joey has changed my life, and I am so grateful. I discovered last year that I (visually - based on images) had a pretty serious herniated disc in my lumbar sacral spine. My pain was not great, but not as bad some of the experiences that I've heard about from others. I am in my 30s and pretty active (running, climbing, golfing, swimming, hiking, etc). I've heard mixed reviews about having surgery, especially at a relatively young age, and so my preference is to work on ways to allow my body to hopefully heal itself.

That's where Joey comes in. After being prescribed physical therapy, Joey proceeded to help me truly understand why my body was reacting the way it was reacting; and how to strengthen, stretch, and adjust my movement patterns to alleviate pain, and facility healing.

Everyday, I do a series of exercises he has given me. The journey has been long, but my surgeon is currently shocked that I have improved in the ways that I have. I'm so grateful for all the knowledge, care and time that Joey put into helping me learn what I needed to know, so that I could continue to manage this injury on my own.

In addition to helping me avoid surgery, injections, medicates (because that was MY preference) he is an all around thoughtful, caring, funny, and enjoyable human. I can't say it enough, I feel so fortunate that I found him as a physical therapist, and would recommend him to everyone who is seeking help with their injuries.

Therapy following a knee replacement is essential to getting back to the things you love! Joey comes in home, brings all of his own equipment, and provides excellent therapy treatment in your home. Scheduling is so easy and very flexible!

Joey was my physical therapist post-ACL reconstruction surgery. I worked with him for about 7 months and I would highly recommend his physical therapy services. He was knowledgeable about my case, knew when to push me during recovery, and kept me focused on both my long and short term goals. I had surgery in late March and was skiing again in late December.

In January, I had ACL reconstructive surgery and mensicus repair from a ski accident. I was unable to walk independently or leave my house alone safely for over two months after surgery. I am so grateful to find Visceral Physical Therapy, who was able to provide me with in-home PT service for the last three months. Joey Jackson, the owner of Visceral PT, was the most important factor in my rehabilitation. He is professional yet personable, provided thorough education about my knee/body function and recovery process, and helped me achieve confidence in reaching full recovery. I had full trust in Joey's manipulation techniques and felt I had my own personal/concierge wellness coach, not just a PT. He knew my limitations and knew how to challenge me each session and helped me improve my range of motion and hit my target goals each week. I would recommend Joey and Visceral PT - he is the absolute best in-home PT service that San Francisco has to offer.
