Emerald Bay Physical Therapy

FABULOUS!
I’m a 30+ year resident in Tahoe. I’ve experienced all the various physical therapy facilities in the South Tahoe area. This one, by far, surpasses the rest.
The building was custom built for this purpose. It houses modern, clean treatment/​examing rooms, a great gym, and a fantastic indoor therapeutic pool. Most importantly — Rick Alexander and his staff are absolutely Top Notch!
Caring, knowledgable, and friendly atmosphere. You actually feel like family after your first visit. The care and treatment is thorough, and in my own experiences, the healing and recovery process has been speedy and complete. This place deserves more stars!!!

While skating roller derby I tore my right ACL. After surgery I looked for a place that would work with me and my goals for returning to skating. Being in an active, outdoorsy town I figured that wouldn’t be hard but as I found out some folks just thought roller derby was something I should stop doing. NOT Emerald Bay PT. They want you out there again! I had so much fun getting my knee back in shape. In about 4 – 6 weeks I went from scared to bend my knee or walk on it to a nearly full bend and zero degree straight leg. By the time I left, I was walking, driving, riding an indoor bike (loads of snow during the months I was there) and within 4 months I was roller skating. By 6 months I was back up and doing derby again! The following winter I skied Heavenly no sweat! Everyone there were fun, easy to work with and informative. I’d recommend them to all folks, young and old. They love what they do and you’ll be glad you chose them.

I went here three-​days a week for about six weeks in order to care for a herniated disc in my neck. I had tried chiropractic and acupuncture but did not see any improvement. It was through these frequent visits that I was finally able to get a little relief from my chronic pain. Rick Alexander worked with me vigilantly and was able to tune in very well to the movements which best benefited my condition. He showed a clear concern for my health and a desire to do anything he could to help me heal.
I really like the whole facility and there is nowhere else in South Lake like it. The entire staff is great. Nick does a good job assisting people with their exercise regimens. Amanda is a rock star, keeping operations running smoothly from the front desk. This office even has a mascot. Moose, Rick’s enormous Alaskan Malamute, is reason enough to come here. He raised my spirits on numerous occasions.
I was also attended to by another therapist, Joann Dohallow, while Rick was out of town. While I didn’t respond as well to her treatment, she is very experienced and was able to offer a few helpful pieces of advice.
