History

Established in 2003. I was coaching the college men's and women's swim team at San Francisco State University and I received a phone call from a family and they were looking for a private swim coach for their son who qualified for the Olympic trails. I interviewed for the position and was hired to coach their son. However, in order for me to take the position, I had to get certified in Resistance Stretching. I did my training in Boston to get certified. I instantly fell in love with this technique and I was challenged on a physical, physiological & psychological level and could see how this could help others. I have been in practice for 11 year and I love what I do.

Possibly the best massage I've ever had. Bijorn came to my apartment, which was of course super-convenient for me. Maybe I'm holding back on saying the "Best Massage I've Ever Had" only because...

Restore Performance PT

HistoryRaymond Silva, PT Raymond Silva has been a physical therapist for over 15 years. He first became interested in physical therapy in high school when his grandmother's sister suffered a stroke. Her everyday function was a struggle. When she began receiving treatment from three PT students working as clinical interns, Raymond watched them as they tried to improve her physical condition and made sure she was comfortable with any treatment they did. The therapists were able to have her walking with a walker (having standby assistance), after she was unable to stand. Following, he thought this is something he could see himself doing, as how could there be a better profession than this: providing a service to people and improving their function/lives after sustaining injury or having a condition that caused changes, which led to a decline in a person's physical ability to function, may it be secondary to pain, limitation of motion, or weakness.SpecialtiesRestore Performance Physical Therapy is not just a physical therapy office.
