I’ve been working with Stacy for about 3 months to address chronic pain in my upper back, neck, and shoulder — something that developed over years of desk work and playing badminton. I’m someone who exercises regularly, so I appreciated that the exercises Stacy gave me were straightforward and easy to understand. While she didn’t overload me with tons of exercises, the ones she did give were exactly what I needed. They work — especially if you do them consistently at home. It’s important to realize that real change doesn’t come from one session a week. You have to trust your therapist, let them fully understand your situation, and then follow their guidance closely. Stacy has a great ability to listen, observe, and tailor her advice to what your body needs. If you’re dealing with long-term pain and ready to commit to recovery, I highly recommend working with Stacy. She’s knowledgeable, focused, and genuinely wants to help you get better.

Shout out to the staff at Cupertino Physical Therapy. Eight years ago Paul returned me to full function after setbacks with a home PT following knee surgery. I thought I was doomed; he persevered. Within months I reached full range of motion. So it was an easy decision to return to the clinic following surgery on my other knee. This time around I skipped home PT and ran straight to CPT where I found Stacey who may be the most gifted PT I’ve ever worked with. Her massage/muscle release gives me degrees of progress at every visit. She continuously tweaks my home exercise program so I get the greatest benefit as I progress from walker to cane to independence. From Paul, the owner of the clinic and an exceptional therapist, to Catherine who makes an extraordinary effort to meet every client’s needs for appointment dates/times (while simultaneously clearing therapy beds, stocking supplies and welcoming clients), to Stacey, therapist extraordinaire, this team provides personalized treatment and the highest level of service. Highly recommend.
