The Technique Physical Therapy - Berkeley, California

R Adler

Rob Lin is an exceptional physical therapist. Rob and his entire team are patient and welcoming, and his 1-on-1 work is phenomenal. If you have the option, I cannot recommend The Technique enough. I knew when I signed up that working with him would be an investment, and it is one I am so glad I made.

I came in with an injury that I have been struggling with for 4 months. I had been seeing another PT but I had repeated setbacks during my recovery. I was in consistent pain and I wasn’t improving.

In 3 weeks or so, Rob has gotten me to a place where I can function again and even push my physical limits. He is kind, reassuring, and his hands-on work has consistently made an obvious impact. Immediately after getting off the table, I feel less pain and improved stability that last. His work on me has allowed me to push further during session and during at-home exercises, which he’s tailored based on my feedback.

TLDR: I’ve already recommended Rob and The Technique PT to friends struggling with injuries and would urge anyone to book a free in-person consultation. Rob is amazing and I look forward to every session. I can’t thank him and his team enough.

Rob and Alice are truly great physical therapists that are worth every penny. They are extremely knowledgeable, fun to work with, and caring about you as a patient. My acl recovery wasn’t going too well until I starting working with Rob and Alice. Since then the trajectory of my recovery is going in a complete different direction. I would highly recommend the Technique Physical Therapy for guiding you in any sort of recovery.

Dr. Rob is absolutely the best person you could go to if you’re suffering from chronic pain. I had been through a round of physical therapy for my back pain before, and while it had helped, I had never actually cleared the 80% threshold in recovery. After about a year of living with an 80% back, I went to Dr. Rob and I’m so glad I did! He composed an amazing, personalized treatment program and did body work to alleviate the built-up pain from all the time I had spent learning to move with an unhealthy back.

I also worked with Dr. Alice in one of her back pain workshops and left with an amazing program I can go through whenever I feel like my back needs some extra support. Working with this team felt like a lifelong investment in my health, and I am so glad I did it!

After my physical therapy ended, I also tried Dr. Rob’s Muay Thai group classes. As someone who had never tried any kind of martial art, it was daunting to start from scratch, but he made it welcoming, inclusive, and fun! His upbeat attitude and energy make him the perfect person to work with on any goals you might have!

Rob is an amazing physical therapist and he helped me so much! I had pain in my knee, back, arms etc. Through a combination of exercises and massages Rob helped me make much progress. He’s absolutely the best physical therapist I’ve worked with.

I saw Rob to help treat a tendinitis issue around my elbow. I am a pretty active guy and was desperate to get back to working out and playing sports asap and was looking for a good physical therapist in the east bay to help me get there. I have had many tendinitis issues on various body parts over the past 20 years and have seen numerous Physical Therapists over time. Rob was simply excellent and certainly the best I have seen to date. Through a well thought out schedule that allowed me to relieve pain, strengthen the right weakened muscles and develop better working out habits to avoid injuries going forward, I was able to turn the page on the issue in just 7 weeks. I now feel confident I can keep exercising and playing sports without injuring myself again and I am very grateful for Rob’s help. I warmly recommend him to anyone looking for expert and thoughtful support.

Followed Rob from his previous location to The Technique because there is no one I trust more to prepare me to head back to sports. Equally important to me was the emotional support and kindness Rob radiates!

Mid-way through my ACL and meniscus rehabilitation, I purchased 6 sessions. I saw really notable strides in mobility and strength as sessions progressed. Rob’s recommendations were always specific to my goals, diverse in movement, incorporated latest technology/tools, and pushed me to the next level of recovery. Perhaps most beneficial was his work on my scar tissue.

Rob really cares for his patients and is invested in their success. Can’t recommend enough!

Dr. Alice Riegert was great. She's knowledgeable, friendly and goes the extra mile. And, everytime i encountered Dr. Rob Lin in the office he too was always friendly and encouraging. I highly recommend The Technique Physical Therapy to help you get back on track with whatever ails you.

Dr Rob was recommended by my orthopedic spinal physician after herniating one disk and bulging another. I was treated by both Dr Rob and Dr Alice. What an incredible team! Their combination of body work (muscle release, cupping, massage) and strengthening exercises creates truly comprehensive care. They have set me well on my way to recovery and helped me start to regain the strength I need to stay healthy.
