Within Your Reach Physical Therapy & Fitness - Scotts Valley, California

If you’re looking for a physical therapist who truly listens, cares, and delivers life-changing results, look no further than Aaron Wright at Within Your Reach. I came to Aaron with restricted range of motion and constant knee pain from arthritis, averaging around a 5-7/10 pain level daily. I honestly thought I’d have to live with it forever, but Aaron turned that around. With his expertise and thoughtful approach, my knee pain dropped to nearly zero, allowing me to return to my love for hiking and weight lifting – activities I thought I’d have to give up.

From day one, Aaron worked closely with me to design a personalized plan that addressed my needs as a full-time RV traveler. Not only did I start feeling relief within just a couple of weeks, but I also saw improvements I hadn’t even dreamed were possible. Aaron didn’t just work on short-term relief; he set me up for success in the long term, providing detailed routines, exercises, and stretches with easy-to-follow diagrams.

The results? I’m back to hiking moderate to difficult trails and lifting weights with confidence. I truly can’t thank Aaron enough. If you’re ready to reclaim your life from pain, Aaron is the therapist who can make it happen!

I went to see Aaron because of a lingering knee injury. After being discouraged by other PT clinics, I am so thrilled to have found such amazing care at Within Your Reach Physical Therapy. Aaron considers the whole person, is optimistic and really listens as you discuss what is bothering you. He and Michelle are the most caring and understanding team, and you feel heard, encouraged, and pain free upon leaving their care. I cannot recommend them enough!

I would like to take a moment to review my experiences with Aaron Wright as my physical therapist. I simply cannot say enough about his talent, care, and expertise! I began this process because of a very painful and debilitating back issue. Arron spent quite a while to discuss my symptoms and possible treatments. I did not feel rushed to complete this process and he spent time to thoroughly explain the process, answer all my questions and relieve my fears. By the end of the initial exam, Aaron had completely diagnosed the issue and I felt very comfortable placing my back health into his care.
Aaron began my therapy slowly, then explained each exercise and their benefits prior to starting each exercise. He used a comforting “hands-on” approach by assisting me with the stretches. I also received a deep massage during the initial few sessions as he explored my back muscle status. In the beginning we had 2 sessions a week and he would email me short pictorials of each exercise so that I could continue the exercises at home.
I was a bit skeptical at first since I had never been to a physical therapist. I was totally blown away! After just 4 sessions I began to feel a definite difference with the strength of my back. I began to feel so much confident in my movements and no longer feared twisting or bending down. It has now been 3 months since I began the therapy with Aaron and my back is healthier and stronger that it has ever been! I am still amazed at how much Arron personally cared about my issues and recovery.
I must point out that you get out of this therapy what you put into it. It is not simply a process of doing your exercises just at his place. You must become dedicated to your health and continue to do the exercises at home as often as recommended.
So, would I recommend Aaron Wright as your physical therapist? Absolutely! I cannot recommend him highly enough. Your recovery may not be as short as mine nor as dramatic, but I am confident that Aaron will do everything he can to help you feel better, be healthier, more confident and provide an exercise plan for now and for future health.

During my initial visit, Aaron promptly identified the underlying issues of my injury, which presented itself differently from the root cause. His comprehensive and skilled assessment successfully uncovered the hidden injury, allowing for targeted treatment right from day one.
Our personalized physical therapy sessions, coupled with his prescribed home exercises, played a vital role in my overall long-term recovery, and continue to help prevent future injuries.
I appreciate Aaron's expertise and ability to address not only my immediate concerns but also to create an exercise plan that fosters sustained well-being.
I highly wholeheartedly recommend Aaron for his kindness, thorough approach, excellent communication skills, and dedication to achieving positive outcomes in physical therapy and exercise overall.

Aaron Wright has renewed my faith in health care! He really cares about his patients and I feel so lucky to have had him as my physical therapist. From beginning to end, Aaron took the time to listen, guide, and support me during my climb to recovery after a shoulder injury. My doctor(Dr. Hariri) had referred me to Aaron. She said that she had referred many of her patients to him and had consistent positive results. I highly recommend Aaron Wright for physical therapy.

I highly recommend Aaron Wright for any physical therapy needs. I am very familiar with physical therapy having seen many physical therapists over the course of my adult life. Mostly provided average relief. This was until I met Aaron. Aaron quickly assessed my true problem and did not waste time just following the doctor’s orders, fishing for procedures to relieve my pain. His diagnosis was spot on which led to stretching exercises for the correct muscle groups and then developed a strengthening program for me to follow. Aaron’s knowledge of stretching exercises and how they affect different muscle groups is phenomenal. His course of action quickly relieved my pain, and his plan to prevent future problems has continued to work for me. He does not believe in drawn out, multiple sessions, over many months. Instead, he wants his patients to be quickly on the road to recovery. Thank you Aaron!

Aaron is truly amazing and helping with some old injuries/pain. He is upbeat, present, respectful and I feel like we truly collaborate in the sessions. Michelle is gracious and on-top-of-it with all the 'office' stuff and scheduling. This place isn't a PT factory. I pay up front by purchasing a package deal (a privilege) then submit paperwork to my insurance and it's totally worth that extra step because I'm finally getting results vs playing whack-a-mole. I'm so lucky and happy this outstanding resource is in my neighborhood.

When I first met Aaron, I had been diagnosed with Stenosis, my right hand was numb most of the time, and my right dominant arm had become weaker than my left. I had been walking around with injuries for decades, and they all finally started to prevent me from doing the things I love. I was constantly in pain. Although I am a 55 year old man who was over 350 lbs, Aaron made it his mission not just to help me heal, but to enable me to continue doing what I love. This includes martial arts with significant impact and weight training. He frequently would say, keep doing what you love, it is my job to fix you. His level of personal commitment to his patients is off the charts.

Although the Stenosis in my neck was a contributor to my symptoms, Aaron figured out that my problems were multifaceted and largely tied to my rotator cuff. He worked with me for over 6 months adjusting my routine as I improved, and we learned what worked. He gave me a full suite of stretches to relieve pain and exercises to prevent pain from returning, ultimately reversing 30 years of problems. My overall posture and mobility improved in addition to the reasons I came in for being largely eliminated. I never stopped working out or doing martial arts, in fact I started doing more physically demanding workouts and getting stronger. Aaron builds you toward proper form, patiently and positively refining and coaching as you're ready.

Walking into the office, it was always obvious Aaron loves what he does. He was always smiling, and making personal connections with his patients. He has a genuine interest in helping people that is undeniable. I am extremely fortunate to have met Aaron and can’t recommend him highly enough. He is a gifted Physical Therapist and coach.
