Healthwell Physical Therapy Group — Physical therapist in City and County of San Francisco, CA

All of the staff here have been knowledgeable and incredibly kind. My brother and I have EDS and POTS, and both PTs we've seen made a lasting impact in our quality of life. I cannot describe how emotional I was after the team helped my brother walk without pain for the first time in his life. They've been creative in their use of techniques to match the changing needs I have each visit. They've helped with vibration plates, cupping, lymphatic work, and the Muldowney method. I have a long list of exercise options to help me when my pain worsens between appointments, and they've taught me how to target pain points on my own. I cannot recommend this team enough to anyone who has also struggled to find a PT who can match their symptoms.

Sonam is the absolute best. She notices things that the best doctors miss because she takes the time not only to listen but to thoroughly test and evaluate. If you want a therapist who truly cares about getting you better, go to Healthwell

I've been working with Sonam for a month and a half now and it's been really great. I've had a 3 year chronic pain journey that has included multiple surgeries and many different injections, PTs, and different approaches. I recently learned I am hypermobile, and Sonam has been helping me with PT and shockwave therapy. It's still early, but I'm starting to see results I haven't for years. I'd recommend Sonam and Shockwave therapy for folks who have chronic issues sue to hyper mobility

Shockwave therapy at HealthWell completely changed my recovery. After dealing with intense pain for two months, Shockwave therapy allowed me to return to sports and stay active again after just a few treatments. The HealthWell team was professional, attentive, and clearly identified my problem and treated me appropriately. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with persistent pain.

After dealing with issues that I didn't realize were related to hypermobility for more than a year, Sonam was the first person to clearly diagnose me with hypermobility and connect the dots about how it was causing my chronic pain. Since an MRI showed tendinitis in my rotator cuff, Sonam suggested shockwave therapy which has been a huge game changer in terms of reducing my pain significantly within just a few sessions. This is something that a year of different physical therapy and doctor's appointments were not able to address. The therapists at Healthwell are very empathetic and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend visiting if you are feeling frustrated or suspect you might be hypermobile. I feel hopeful that with this treatment and accompanying physical therapy, I will be able to go back to the activities that I enjoy.

Healthwell is fantastic. I recently had a calf issue and went back to Healthwell for treatment because I had such a great experience the first time. My PT Cheryl took great care of me and helped me resolve my problem quickly. Would highly recommend her and the rest of the team.

I can't say enough good things about Sonam at Healthwell PT! She is hands down the best physical therapist I’ve ever had, and I’m so grateful to have found her. As someone living with chronic conditions like POTS, hEDS, CCI, and migraines, I’ve encountered many PTs who aren’t equipped to handle such complexity—but Sonam is different. She welcomes me in with open arms and treats my conditions with a holistic, interdisciplinary approach that truly works. She’s always up-to-date with the latest therapies, modalities, and technologies, which gives me so much confidence in her care. Most recently, I received shockwave therapy for a long-standing Achilles tendinitis injury, and I felt a noticeable improvement after just one session. It’s been a game-changer! Sonam is not only incredibly skilled but also such a kind, compassionate person. She makes every visit a positive experience, and I genuinely look forward to seeing her. Thanks to her, I’ve regained my quality of life and can’t thank her enough for that. If you’re looking for a physical therapist who truly cares and knows her stuff, Sonam at Healthwell PT is the one!

Healthwell PT is a place with heart and soul. I have had longstanding injuries needing PRP/Rolfing/chiropractic even stem cell therapy for 15 years. I finally wanted to find a place that specialized in hypermobility. From my first visit with Sonam I felt like someone finally understood all that I went through. A podcast that she recommended completely changed the understanding of me and my body. Every time I go in to see her, she genuinely is happy to see me. She incorporates so many different techniques in her care of me. Manual therapy/cupping/adjusting my SI joint and sprained ankles/Feldenkrais. I even get to workout on the pilates reformer and carraige. She also has shockwave therapy and goes above and beyond when treating me with this. The prices are extremely affordable for San Francisco. Her and other therapists are not trying to sell me anything and actually tell me to conserve my funds until I would really need a shockwave treatment. I was so impressed with Megan and Carolyn (2 other PT's) as well. I learned at how much my breathing and diaphragm is affecting my fascia and how it can cause ligament tears and sprains. This is so different than other PT places that may double book and then you spend the rest of the time with an aide. Don't get me wrong, aides are great, but they may not understand manual therapy. Or even places that I have been where they have a trainer that is managing 4-6 clients at a time. Healthwell is a place that I come not just for my physical health, but because Sonam and others truly care, it is also amazing for my mental health! This office is a treasure. Their front desk staff is kind, organized and prompt as well!

I loved going to physical therapy with Sonam Patel at Healthwell! I had total knee replacement on February 10th in UT and Healtwell was recommended for follow-up therapy in San Francisco. I made my appointments prior to my surgery and was easily accommodated for 2 to 3 sessions a week upon my return to SF. Michael the scheduler was very accommodating and reassuring. Sonam was a perfect match for me. Recovery from knee replacement is grueling in terms of PT and exercises in-between sessions. Sonam made it fun. She cued into the fact that I like and need data on my progress so each session she would measure the flection (bend) I was able to achieve in my knee. That was always highly motivating and she expressed as much excitement at my progress as I did! She was very responsive to addressing my ever changing physical progress and helping me address new symptoms and push myself as needed. I always felt invigorated after each PT session. By the end of PT I have full flection in my knee equal to my "good" knee of a 145 degrees. Most people only get to 130 degrees. She also focused on my building strength and didn't let me neglect my cardio either. I highly recommend Healthwell and Sonam--

I worked briefly with Sonam Patel at HealthWell Physical Therapy and had the chance to try their shockwave therapy. It’s a unique technique that targets deep muscle knots—ones I’ve had for years. The treatment was a bit painful in the moment, but I could tell it was reaching the right spots. Looking forward to seeing the results after a few more sessions. Overall I loved my experience at HealthWell. Everyone was so lovely and warm, from the front desk staff to the physical therapists.
