Gary was incredibly helpful in helping me recover from a hamstring injury. Matt Ewing Gary was really thoughtful and gave me personalized treatment and exercises to recover from a shoulder/neck/back skateboarding injury. Grateful! Kevin Shaw Angela is fantastic! I reached out to her for help with shoulder and hip pain and she not only efficiently addressed those to issues, but did so in a way that was squarely anchored in my broader health and mobility goals.

Nick Boccignone Areas We Serve Proudly serving the East Bay area We're located in Emeryville and work with active adults throughout the East Bay who want personalized care that helps them stay strong, move freely, and keep doing what they love. Whether you're in Oakland, Berkeley, Piedmont, or beyond, we're here to support your movement journey. Berkeley Oakland Emeryville Frequently Asked Questions Common questions about sports physical therapy at Odyssey Performance PT. Can I keep training while recovering from an injury? In most cases, yes. We help you modify your training so you can stay active while your body heals, rather than stopping everything and losing progress. How is sports physical therapy different from regular PT? Sports physical therapy focuses on returning you to the specific demands of your sport or activity. We assess movement patterns, build sport-specific progressions, and help you train smarter to reduce setbacks. How long does recovery typically take? It depends on your injury, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. We build a clear plan during your first visit and adjust based on your progress, so you always know what to expect. Do you work with people who aren't competitive athletes? Absolutely. Most of our clients are active adults who run, lift, climb, cycle, or stay active for health and enjoyment. You don't need to be an elite athlete to benefit from sports PT. What should I bring to my first appointment? Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. If you have recent imaging or notes from other providers, bring those along, but they're not required to get started. Still have questions? Reach out anytime with questions about sports physical therapy or whether Odyssey is the right fit for your goals. Contact Us Ready to get back to what you love?

What clients are saying about training at Odyssey Real feedback from active adults who wanted to level up and stay consistent. Dr. Angela is amazing!! Her assessments are thorough and her explanations are detailed. She is a great listener and the prescribed exercises were simple and effective. Aradhna Mayalall Angela is the best! Helped sort out a knee issue and got me back running within a couple of months. She gives lots of at home exercises / doesn't push coming in to see her more than needed. Just finished my second half marathon since working with her a year ago. Eli Ross Angela is fantastic! I reached out to her for help with shoulder and hip pain and she not only efficiently addressed those to issues, but did so in a way that was squarely anchored in my broader health and mobility goals. Can't recommend her highly enough! John Hoback Areas We Serve Proudly serving the East Bay area We're located in Emeryville and work with active adults throughout the East Bay who want personalized care that helps them stay strong, move freely, and keep doing what they love. Whether you're in Oakland, Berkeley, Piedmont, or beyond, we're here to support your movement journey. Berkeley Oakland Emeryville Frequently Asked Questions Common questions about performance training at Odyssey Performance PT. Is performance training the same as personal training? Not quite. Performance training combines movement assessment, corrective work, and strength coaching with a focus on long-term resilience and injury prevention, not just getting a good workout. Do I need to be recovered from injury before starting performance training? Not necessarily. Many people start performance training as a natural progression from physical therapy, or we can address lingering issues while building your training program. How do you decide what programming is right for me? We start with an assessment to understand how you move, what your goals are, and what's been limiting you. From there, we build a plan that fits your schedule, training style, and body's needs. Can performance training help if I feel like I'm always dealing with small aches? Yes. Often those recurring aches come from gaps in strength, movement quality, or load management. Performance training addresses the root issues so you can train more consistently. What should I expect in a typical session? Sessions include movement prep, skill work or corrective exercises, strength training tailored to your goals, and education so you understand the why behind what you're doing. Still have questions?

Brandon Lee Areas We Serve Proudly serving the East Bay area We're located in Emeryville and work with active adults throughout the East Bay who want personalized care that helps them stay strong, move freely, and keep doing what they love. Whether you're in Oakland, Berkeley, Piedmont, or beyond, we're here to support your movement journey. Berkeley Oakland Emeryville Frequently Asked Questions Common questions about injury prevention at Odyssey Performance PT. How is injury prevention different from physical therapy? Physical therapy helps you recover from an existing injury. Injury prevention is proactive care to address vulnerabilities before they turn into problems, so you can train more consistently. Do I need to be injured to benefit from injury prevention? Not at all. Injury prevention works best when you're healthy and want to stay that way. It's about building resilience and addressing small issues before they become big ones. How do I know if I need injury prevention or performance training? There's a lot of overlap. If you're focused on staying healthy and consistent, injury prevention is a great fit. If you want to push performance while building resilience, performance training makes sense. We can help you decide. Can injury prevention help if I keep dealing with the same issue over and over? Yes. Recurring issues often mean the root cause hasn't been addressed. We look at movement patterns, strength gaps, and training loads to figure out why things keep flaring up. How much time does injury prevention take each week? It depends on your schedule and goals. Some people integrate injury prevention work into their existing training, while others dedicate specific sessions. We'll help you find what fits your life. Still have questions? Not sure if injury prevention is the right step for you? Let's talk through your training and goals. Contact Us Ready to build resilience and train without constant setbacks?
