BaseCamp Physical Therapy 1320 Industrial Avenue, Petaluma, CA 94952

"I was a competitive equestrian vaulter and am an all around athlete. I started having progressive lower back pain in my mid to late twenties. I thought it was something I would just need to deal with and had to limit doing things I loved. A friend referred me to Base Camp and Josh was not only able to determine what the issues were but help me strengthen and activate the muscles I needed. Not only am I pain free but I feel more confident and am able to do the activities I love again. Josh is such a good teacher and really gives you the tools and knowledge you need to progress even after you have completed your therapy."

"Can't say enough good things about Josh at BaseCamp Physical Therapy and his support staff. For reference, I commuted 3+ hours EACH WAY from a small city that didn't have anything like this, on recommendation from a friend, and it was worth every penny and every mind numbing minute fighting traffic on the I-80 and route 37. I've been a runner for decades, and I had a knee problem that just wouldn't quit. I went to two places in my hometown that took my insurance, and was extremely disappointed with the lack of face time with an actual PT, and that most sessions were just repeating exercises loosely supervised by an aide who was supervising three other people, things I could have done at home or my gym. I left my final session at the other places limping worse than when I came in. Not at BaseCamp though! Every session was like a mini reassessment, checking in with how you're doing with your exercise program, 100% of the time was spent with Josh, and designing a fine tuned exercise program FOR YOU. If an exercise hurts, Josh knows ten other ways to try and accomplish the same thing, and won't stop until he finds the exercise you can do pain free. One or two sessions included an analysis of my stride, and giving suggestions on how to modify it to run more comfortably. He respects your time and the fact you probably are motivated and can follow an exercise program, so the sessions are more about developing the program, rather than coming in three times a week to do it. If you need a little deep tissue work or cupping, he'll do it. I'm FINALLY running again and would not hesitate to come to this place again if need be, even with the commute. A shout out goes to the support staff as well, my first appointment happened to fall on a day Petaluma was experiencing severe flooding, and all roads around the office were closed. I was already on the road, and they called me, found an alternate location to meet me and assess me, and gave me advice on the best route into town that wouldn't be closed. Such service!"

"I came to Base Camp with a list of injuries following a car accident. A few surgeries later along with lots of the usual prescribed PT I was walking but not well. Prior to this I was an equestrian athlete and avid hiker which seemed totally out of reach at that point. I decided to give PT another try but I needed a different kind of PT. Josh’s approach was different from the get go. He was very intuitive, quite creative, and the one on one communication was invaluable to the whole process. I am currently back to riding and hiking regularly, neither of which I thought would be an option at all. My pain level is way down and I continue to improve daily. Bottom line, this is PT at its best. Well done Josh!"

"Exceptional Physical Therapy Experience at BaseCamp - A Game-Changer for My Hamstring Woes! I had the privilege of undergoing physical therapy at BaseCamp, specifically under the expert guidance of Josh, the owner. Initially, I had reservations about physical therapy, associating it primarily with serious injuries. However, my experience at Base Camp completely shattered those misconceptions. I sought treatment for a persistent hamstring issue and was referred to Josh by someone who spoke highly of his expertise. From the very first session, it was evident that I was in capable hands. Josh's diagnostic skills were impressive, and he quickly identified the root cause of my nagging hamstring problem. Over the course of the last six months, I have witnessed incredible progress in my recovery. Not only has my hamstring improved significantly, but I also achieved a personal record and Boston Marathon qualification at the Chicago Marathon—a testament to the effectiveness of the tailored plan Josh designed for me. What sets BaseCamp apart is not just their technical expertise but also their personalized approach to each patient. Josh took the time to understand my specific needs and crafted a comprehensive and realistic treatment plan. The regular sessions were not only instrumental in addressing my immediate concerns but also in preventing future issues. Beyond addressing my initial concern, I have continued working with Josh on strength training. His commitment to my overall well-being has made a significant impact on my fitness journey. The team at BaseCamp embodies patience and knowledge, creating a supportive environment that fosters progress. I cannot recommend BaseCamp Physical Therapy enough for anyone seeking not just rehabilitation but a holistic approach to their physical well-being. Josh and his team are dedicated professionals who genuinely care about their clients' success. Thanks to BaseCamp, I am not just back on track but stronger than ever. If you're looking for a physical therapy experience that goes above and beyond, BaseCamp is the place to be. Your journey to strength and recovery starts here! Diana Callahan (age 57 years)"

"I went to Josh when I decided to sign up for my first half marathon. I knew that I’d be increasing my running volume over the next 6 months and had underlying knee pain that started to present itself. I went for a 3 mile run and had knee pain that bothered me for the following week and prevented me from running in that time. Working with Josh allowed me to address the knee pain, do exercises and make the changes needed so that the pain subsided. Not only did Josh help me with my knee but also gave me an individualized running plan so that I properly progressed my volume leading up to the race. Because of my work with Josh, I was able to finish my first half marathon faster than the goal I had set and without any knee pain! Josh is different from other physical therapists I’ve seen. He takes such an individualized approach and genuinely cares about his patients. You really get your moneys worth when going to base camp!"
