We realize some people may be "unsure" if physical therapy is the right option for them or maybe have had mixed results with physical therapy in the past. If you have some questions and you think it would be better to speak to someone at Placer Physical Therapy first (so you can be 100% sure that we can help you).
A physical therapist will personally answer all of your questions over the phone completely for free. The treatment was easier than I expected and the improvement was quick. I was back to my usual routines sooner than I expected. You will look forward to your sessions there. They treat you very well - it's like pampering with personal attention and individual care.

James has a passion for getting people moving, active and feeling young again (even after years of aches and pains). On a daily basis James treats clients looking for answers to their questions about how to stay active and decrease their pain. He has been highly sought after as a specialist to treat these conditions by those who want to remain active and take control of their pain.
THIS is for the person who thinks that their back pain is something they have to live with and just deal with as a way of life. The type of "dull ache" or "sharp pain" where you get so frustrated that you feel your only option is to stop what you're doing completely, reach for the meds and wonder how long you'll have stop your life and just wait for the pain to go away.
THIS is for the person who thinks that their knee pain is something they have to live with, or for those whose knee pain came on all of sudden and you want quick help and relief. Over the last 10+ years, I've been working and helping people aged 35-60+ find relief from acute AND chronic knee pain - and what I know is the vicious cycle of rest and medications will do absolutely nothing to get to the root cause of most types of knee pains.
It's true that PT is a very physical experience, and as such treatments can often be a little uncomfortable sometimes, but we will always aim to be as gentle as possible and cause minimal discomfort. Before we use any techniques, we will tell you exactly what is about to happen, whether or not it is likely to hurt, and for how long.

I cannot say enough about Placer Physical Therapy! It starts with Kristi at the front desk; she is caring, competent and works with you to find your perfect time! James was my Physical Therapist and I owe him so much gratitude! Without exaggeration he has literally changed my life! I was born crippled and have always limped and "walked funny". Because this throws me, and the muscles in my back and legs, completely off balance I have always had issues with muscle pain and weakness. I've been to many many Physical Therapists throughout my life (I'm 82yrs. old) and no one has ever

Placer PT was an amazing experience for my 95 year uncle. Their caring and compassionate staff provided excellent, ability-appropriate therapies to keep my uncle on his feet before a debilitating illness took him down. Even after we discontinued service, their staff continued to inquire not only about my uncle’s well-being, but mine as well. The team at Placer PT is amazing!!! (Kristi and Jeremy in particular) From reception, scheduling, therapies, and more, this team truly goes above and beyond!

Jeremy is the most attentive therapist ever. He is right there with you; confident, encouraging, so well informed...I had minimal range of motion in both shoulder and muscle weakness. I am back to Yoga now and my reach is perfecto. I will continue his routine regularly. Kristi runs the practice like a loving home.

Double your pleasure double you fun after two nearly back to back 12 session needs of Physical Therapy with Jeremy and Kristi.
I had an unfortunate accident August 9, 2019 were I dislocated my elbow and required a long road of Physical Therapy at the hands of Jeremy. The most caring and knowledgeable Physical Therapist I have ever encountered in some 50 years.
Kristi stayed on top of my scheduled and always greeted me with a very warm welcome and a smile of concern for my day. They make a terrific team and I recommend Placer PT to anyone in need of PT.

My experience with Jeremy and Kristi was positive in every way. I was referred by another PT I had previously used who could not get me in and again by my orthopedic Doc at Sutter Health in Auburn. I was returning for a flare-up in an old shoulder injury. Jeremy is personable and creates ease around the healing process. He helped me get back strength and range of motion without the pain. Jeremy uses clear explanations with a sense of humor to get you inline with the actual movement and reps needed to move forward. I then requested a second referral back to Jeremy for neck and back issues. Jeremy

I have nothing but positive praise for Jeremy and Kristi. I was injured in 2017 and went through 2 operations, one on my left knee and one on my right ankle. The knee worked fine, but the ankle was bone on bone and surgeon recommended joint replacement. I was referred to Placer PT by my daughter and was treated there in the spring of 2019 and thanks to Jeremy's positive attitude intense work on my ankle I am now playing softball again .

The staff are highly professional, friendly and welcoming. I have had two issues that required physical therapy. The first was back pain and the therapy certainly worked, enabling me to get back to regular activities such as golf and cycling. The second was also related to the back and the sessions have made a big difference once again in addressing the problem. I would strongly recommend Placer Physical Therapy to anyone looking for high quality therapeutic treatment.

James at Placer Physical Therapy has been my PT for over 3 years. I started working with James for my shoulder from volleyball wear and tear and then later issues with my neck from extensive computer use. Last year I had ACL reconstruction and James helped me with range of motion prior to surgery and has been helping me progress since the surgery. I overused my knee a couple of months ago as I was starting to see my physical ability come back and set myself back by about 2 months. This was the same time my work schedule ramped up and I was sitting for far too many hours a day unsupported. James
