I want to continue to live an active lifestyle as I get older and mobility issues have slowly been creeping up on me. I met with Christian and he is great to work with. Very knowledgeable, and the results are beginning to produce results. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to stay active or improve their current levels of activity.

I had the pleasure of working with Jamie at Active PT for my shoulder issues. Jamie is super cool, incredibly knowledgeable and really knows his stuff. He genuinely cares about his patients and is dedicated to helping you improve. I highly recommend Jamie and Active PT to anyone needing physical therapy.

I sought out help from Active Physical Therapy after experiencing lingering issues with my shoulder and arm. Jamie was great and was able to diagnose where l was weak and gave me easy to follow exercises to strengthen my body. In one month of working with Jamie I’m seeing results, and I feel like I’m finally on a path that will heal my body long term.

I went, with low expectations, to the assessment. Ive been in pain with Scoliosis practically my whole life, so I was hopeful but didnt think things would change.8 sessions with Emily has completely changed everything. Lower daily pain and quicker recovery when I over exert myself. Im so grateful I gave Active Physical Therapy a try. Life changing.

I have been seeing Jamie at Active Physical Therapy for about 9 months for chronic shoulder pain, weakness, and mobility problems due to sports injuries as a kid. Jamie has been stellar to work with - he has been observant, creative, and empathetic throughout my journey. My shoulders haven’t felt this good in over 35 years and I have increased mobility and strength. I highly recommend Jamie, Christian, and the entire team at Active Physical Therapy if you are serious about improving functionality of your joints!

Our 7 year old started complaining about hip and leg pain in one of his legs, thinking he was just an active kid, we thought he was just tired from all the activities. As time went on we notice he was tripping and falling more frequently while running (his legs were getting tangled up) and while walking it was with his feet pointing inward or “pigeon toed”.We set up an assessment with Active PT and Christian was fantastic in coming up with a plan to help strengthen and improve flexibility in his legs. This is from him having one significant stronger leg than the other and different muscles in his legs were compensating for the weaker muscles. Over the past 3 months we have met with Christian and continued to do his exercises at home and he has made significant process. Most importantly he is not having any leg or hip pain, and his walking, running, swimming and even posture has improved. Christian is great with kids, our son loved going to working out at Active PT. Thank you for all the time you invested into our son.

Dear fellow pain sufferers,My.name is Jim Pernell and I have sought for many years to find relief from chronic neck and shoulder pain. I tried chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, epidural injections and even nerve ablation procedures. Nothing gave me more than temporary relief until a friend recommended Active PT. I started going about a month ago and the results from stretching and strengthening needy muscles have been dramatic. I highly recommend them and finally feel like I am making some real progress.

I cant say enough good things about my experience here. Christian has provided very personal, thoughtful, thorough care for my back issues and overall health. He not only addressed the issues directly, but I really appreciate that he helped me understand what was going on with my body, helped show me how to listen to it and respond in a way that has been helping me to both repair the issues as well as grow stronger and more resilient. Ive seen more dramatic results than anything else Ive tried, and now have the awareness to maintain the gains and even keep improving!

One of the best decisions I made in 2023 was to begin shoulder therapy at Active PT. Everything about this practice is top-notch and the therapists are absolutely phenomenal. Michael Hansen designed a plan to stretch and strengthen my left shoulder. He worked with me one-on-one, guiding and educating every step of the way. His compassionate and confident approach was exactly what I needed. Today, my shoulder is nearly pain-free and I am thrilled with the result. I remain incredibly grateful for Michael’s expertise, and highly recommend him and the entire team at Active PT.

One day after doing some fencing work I noticed that my right shoulder was sore . Being used to soreness between work and working out I didn’t think much of it. That was until over a month later I was still having a constant ache pain. Adamant not to go in to get it looked, but firefighting being a physically demanding job I figured I better get it looked at. That’s when I found an add for Active Physical Therapy in Redding on Facebook. I decided to give it a try. And I am so glad that I did! By the second visit I could feel a night and day difference in my shoulder. Now I just had my fourth visit and am pain free in my shoulder. Jamie has taught me several workouts I can use daily and was very helpful throughout the whole process. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and would highly recommend Active Physical Therapy to anyone experiencing similar issues.

Life-Changing Relief for Shoulder PainI cannot speak highly enough about my experience at Active PT in Redding, CA. Prior to seeking their help, my shoulders, extending down to my elbow, were constantly tight and throbbing with pain, especially during exercises like overhead pressing, dips, and chest presses. However, working with Christian and the team at Active PT has completely transformed my perspective on physical therapy and how I value my own body.I initially had doubts about whether physical therapy could truly alleviate my pain, but I am beyond grateful that I gave it a chance. Christians expertise and the teams friendly demeanor made every session not only effective but also enjoyable. Their knowledge and personalized approach tailored to my specific needs were evident from the start.Thanks to the comprehensive treatment I received at Active PT, Ive experienced significant relief from my shoulder pain. Not only has the pain subsided, but Ive also gained a newfound appreciation for the importance of proper movement and rehabilitation. Whether youre dealing with chronic pain or seeking to optimize your physical performance, I highly recommend giving Active PT a try. Their dedication to their clients well-being is truly unmatched.

I worked with Christian when I noticed my left side being tighter and even suffering from Shortness of breath as a result. Im one that believes I can overcome anything. With patience, consistency and drive, I knew I could figure out what was going on with my musculoskeletal system. After my last Covid 19 exposure I noticed huge asymmetries and even length discrepancies with my legs/hips, knee pain, ankle pain, toe pain, Sciatic pain. I noticed I began playing “whac-A-mole” with my body, addressing an ankle pain here, a knee pain there, a sciatic pain here, jumping around my body attempting to tackle why my body was crying. I’m a young active person, also a singer, that my identity began to be eroded as a result of my imbalances. I tried hard on my own but realized that finding the source was so hard, even with knowledge of the body as a occupational therapist, social media influencers, YouTube tutorials, blah blah, they were just not enough.I needed to understand the deeper source as to why strengthening and stretching alone wasn’t not giving me permanent recovery. It wasn’t until I asked Christian for guidance. His initial evaluation gave me so much insight and understanding as to exactly what plan we needed and how to effectively complete balance between strengthening and stretching as well as to learn mindfulness and rediscovering the feelings of my body youthful body again. Without Christian’s guidance I feel like understanding the big picture of “resetting” my body, would not have happened! You need a skilled individual to objectively look at your body and tell you what’s up. You do. I feel like God made it that way for a reason. To practice calling on others willing to help when you need it.So if you are having any issues with you body, and want guidance in understanding big picture of the source of the problem. Go see the team at Active Physical therapy!Don’t put it off, the longer you go with these issues in your attempt to “learn to live with it” or “it will get better on its own,” the harder it will be to get out of the “hole.”Thanks Christian, I feel Frickin’ strong again! Like a machine! 🤙🏽💪🏽🫵🏽👊🏽

I see Jamie for my PT, he’s helped keep my body moving and injury free during my peak weeks of training for a 50k. Everyone at the office is so kind and helpful. I love being in an environment that supports keeping me active. I’ve been to a few different PTs in town and they all have told me to stop running when little things pop up. Jamie and Christian have supported my goals and have kept me running with modifications until my body is ready to return to full sport. Jamie doesn’t just get me to baseline and call it good, he continues to help me build an injury resistant body. I highly recommend Active Physical Therapy to athletes in the Redding area.

I went in to see Christian last week for my shoulder, elbow, and forearm. I noticed my range of motion was affected months ago for no particular reason. I kept ignoring it hoping it would go away, but it only got worse, along with developing significant pain. I finally broke down and called Christian. I felt 50% better after leaving his office. He is so excellent! He explained exactly what was going on. He has visuals to help explain. He is so kind and caring. He was massaging muscles and I barely realized what he was doing as he was doing his work. He is so good at what he does! This week I’m 80% better after just doing a few exercises he gave me to do. I’ve also had my kids seen by Christian. He really knows what he’s doing. But I was amazed by how much better my shoulder is doing after one visit! Thanks Christian! I appreciate you and your work!! I highly recommend Christian! I’ve dealt with my fair share of physical therapy over the years, and I think Christian is the best at what he does!

I worked with Jamie for a painful rotator cuff. During my time training with him, not only did my shoulder heal; but I got significantly stronger. I started seeing PRs in the gym with exercises that I had long plateaued with. I highly recommended checking out Active Physical Therapy and book a session with Jamie! —Ralph

I’ve done PT with Christian at Active Physical Therapy for several recoveries. He focuses on function and gaining mobility back in a practical and DOable way. He was spot on in his suggestions and exercises to help me with a recent shoulder issue which I had honestly lost hope for, it was very discouraging and painful. I’m so thankful he saw a way to gain back what I thought I would need surgery to recover! I continued with his plan at home after my sessions at his beautiful facility. (He provides video of exercises so it’s easy to access and do them exactly right).After my knee replacement surgery, he had me back to spin class and easily walking up and down stairs in just 5 weeks!Highly recommend him, he’s not just a great PT, he’s a really GREAT GUY.

If you are looking for a physical therapist, I highly recommend Christian! I felt like he truly listened to what I shared regarding my pain/discomfort and he was able to put together a treatment plan that majorly reduced the pain in my IT band and knee, over the time span of about six months. If I ever have any future needs for physical therapy, I will definitely be returning to Active PT Redding.

Well where can and do I have enough space to share it all??? I am in construction, and first reached out to take advantage of an offer for my shoulder mobility (very necessary for my daily life). Dr Jamie Hodgkins has not only brought me beyond where I thought I would be in stability of my shoulder, but has also then proceeded to diagnose and improve my body in all other aspects. I have been able to work and do the things I need to do without being “extra careful” like I have always had to be for the past 20years. If you experience shoulder, knee, or back pain due to repetitive injuries, then you know how absolutely priceless this is. I cannot recommend making the commitment enough to anyone curious if it’s for real. I’m so blessed by the opportunity I have had.

I am THRILLED with the results I’ve seen after working with Christian at Active PT. I came in with two tears to my rotator cuff; my arm had extremely limited mobility and drs were recommending surgery. It felt like a big goal: get me back to lifting without surgery, but we did it! 🙌🏻💪🏻I am able to RX my CrossFit workouts again and I am stronger and more intentional with my body mechanics than ever before.I am SO grateful for Active PT and the success that I’ve had with my shoulder.I HIGHLY recommend Active PT and Christian’s work!

I’m convinced Emily is a witch marketing herself as a Physical Therapist. Shes done what no other pastor, healer, therapist, or mere mortal has been able to do so far. That is: she has been able to show me some real results of healing in my autoimmune-ridden/broken body. Shes given my 35-year-old-going -on-99-corpse some relief from its multiple ailments in just 4 short weeks. I dont know the type of magic shes doing (Im hoping its the Holy/ good kind) but Im just glad shes practicing on me. We are lucky to have someone like her in Redding. Check her out!

Expert care, higher prices but worth it. Very pleased with the time Christian spends with me. As an optometrist who’s driving 2 hours daily for work, I’ve developed significant back, shoulder and neck issues. I feel like Christian and is targeting my problems with accuracy and a higher level of care than I’ve had elsewhere for the same problems. He’s given me confidence to push myself and is giving me challenging enough exercises with personalized video instructions and an app that makes it easy to track and do my therapy. I feel that this has been worth the money spent and appreciate the one on one time and level of personalized care I get here.

A year ago I sucked at rock climbing. After seeing posts from Active PT on Instagram, I decided to take advantage of an offer they were running and made an appointment for treatment. It was one of the best gifts Ive ever bought myself.At this point, I was bouldering 3 times a week at a V2 - V3 level, and my climbing was suffering due to back and neck spasms, weak joints, a dead feeling in my left arm, and fear of hurting myself while on the wall. Upon starting a program with PT Superstar Christian Mersomethingorother, not only was I jealous of his vast collection of short sleeve button downs and fancy sport type trousers, but I also saw physical improvements the first week.Over the course of the next seven weeks, Christian addressed each physical issue I had been living with for years, reducing pain, tension, muscle spasms, and stiffness, while greatly improving my strength, stability, flexibility, and range of motion. I was given a custom, tailored set of exercises to work on between visits that trained my body to support itself physically and grow stronger.Christian (and other staff members) always took the time to ask about me, my mental wellbeing, my family, my work, which I appreciated. I tried to compete with him in the fancy trouser department and even cycled through my Air Max 90 collection in a vain effort to impress, but at the end of the day, he had me beat.Anyway, 1 year later I still suck at climbing, but I climb with confidence knowing my body isnt going to let me down like it did before. I now have zero muscle spasms, and Im climbing at a V6 level. I still go to Active Physical Therapy 1 - 2 times a month for maintenance visits.If youre thinking about making an appointment, just do it. You won’t regret it... unless you are really competitive in the fancy pants department.

My experience at Redding Active PT has FAR surpassed my expectations! I came in because of acute pain in my hip flexor and chronic pain in my back. Christian put a program together for me to address my exact issues and in the first week I already began to see progress. I am three weeks into training for my half marathon and I truly couldn’t be doing it without Christian and the team from Redding Active PT. I anticipate a full recovery in my hip (my running is already so much easier, my pain has decreased significantly)! I was skeptical of doing PT in the past, but this has been a game changer. I can’t recommend this enough for anyone who is looking to take their health seriously and become pain free.

Michael is a phenomenal physical therapist whose experience, knowledge, dedication, and attention to detail can help anyone who is recovering from surgery, dealing with an injury, or living a life of chronic daily pain. He diagnoses the root cause, which often is related to weakness or mobility problems. Michael communicates very effectively to help you understand the treatments and learn how to perform your home exercises. If you want to start performing better, feeling better, and want to recover faster, do not hesitate to go see Michael Hansen for your personalized physical therapy needs. I am an avid runner with a chronic inflammatory condition, and I now believe that with his help, marathons are within my reach!

I can’t say enough, good things about Jamie and the rest of the crew there at active physical therapy. I hit a point at the gym where my shoulders were killing me. I thought I’d either have to have surgery or I’d have to stop lifting. Jamie was able to walk me through the right exercises to gain the strength and the flexibility places that I needed to overcome the issues. Today, no more pain, no more rotator problems . I can’t think of anything better to invest in your own physical health.

As an active runner and dealing with chronic plantar fasciitis I became frustrated as I had minimal improvement after a cortisone shot and doing my own home exercise program. After 6 PT sessions with Christian and completing his personalized app based instructions, I am now running without pain! Christian was able to address the cause of my pain and made sure I obtained my goal of running races while reducing my risk of future injuries. I highly recommend Active Physical Therapy !

Christian has been a huge help to my recovery. I partially tore my acl in October and have been working with him since. He has taken me along every step of the way and gotten my knee back to being strong. He is always encouraging and takes things one step at a time. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a physical therapist!!

After spending two years in constant & severe pain from a complex medial meniscus injury, I was faced with an inevitable debridement surgery. Thankfully, I found Active PT instead & received the best care from Michael Hansen! Michael prioritized my pain relief and restored my knee function through well-designed, progressive stretching & strengthening exercises in just 8 visits! I can’t thank Michael enough for his spot on injury assessment and dedication to the success of my recovery. I’m highly motivated to continue working at fitness goals we set & am thrilled to have my life back! Michael Hansen is an excellent, caring, and goal-oriented physical therapist. So if you are in pain go see Michael at Active PT first for an expert evaluation & put the work in! You will be grateful you did!

I highly recommend Active Physical Therapy. I have been to physical therapy several times over the years and Active Physical Therapy has been by far the best experience. I appreciate the individualized approach and the ability to work one on one with the physical therapist the entire length of the visit. Michael assigns me exercises to do at home vs traditional physical therapy where you come in a couple times a week and do the exercises in session. He records me doing the exercises and uploads them to an app so that I can easily reference and remember how to do them correctly. He individualizes the exercises to accommodate the equipment that I have at home. He has helped me to develop a strength training and stretching routine that is realistic and fits my schedule. Michael has done a fantastic job at evaluating and explaining my weak spots and how they affect the problem area (ankle/foot pain and tightness). Michael has also helped build my confidence and overcome some of my fears of re-injury. Michael is very engaging, friendly, and a joy to work with. I would give Active Physical Therapy and Michael 10 stars if I were able to.

I am so thankful I found PT active! I was dealing with chronic “ice pick” headaches for almost two years, I had tried everything to resolve it and nothing worked until physical therapy. I saw Emily and she was so thorough and great at explaining everything and helping me through mobility exercises and stretches to complete resolve those headaches. I now have these mobility exercises to keep up on and help build and maintain my strength to keep them away for life. I wish I had known earlier that PT could help with headaches, I can’t recommend them enough!

I am grateful to have found Active Physical Therapy and their wonderful staff who are professional and extremely knowledgeable! Each time I go, I work with the same physical therapist for the full hour and the treatment plan is designed for my particular needs. All of the exercises are uploaded to an app that is easy to use and reminds me of proper technique while doing the exercises myself. I am pleased to say that I have made great improvements and the disruptive leg pain I was experiencing is almost fully resolved! Thank you Jamie!

I cant express enough gratitude for the incredible care I received at Active PT, particularly from Emily. Suffering from debilitating sciatic pain for over a year left me feeling hopeless, especially after months of unsuccessful treatment elsewhere. Discovering Active PT through Instagram was a turning point. From my first visit, Emilys expertise and genuine concern for my well-being were evident. I walked in barely able to move and was on the brink of seeking emergency care. Fast forward nearly four months, and Im almost completely pain-free. Emilys profound understanding of nerve pain and personalized approach to treatment made all the difference. The level of care and compassion demonstrated by Active PTs team is unparalleled. I cant recommend them highly enough and will continue to spread the word about their exceptional service. Thank you, Active PT, for giving me back my life!

They do excellent work! Michael was very professional, personable, and knowledgeable. Im very active and came in for a hip injury. I was most impressed with how much attention they put into listening to you and learning your history. They take videos of you doing the rehab exercises and upload it to an app which you can check in and track your progress which I found motivational. I have improved significantly beyond my hopes and continue to use a weightlifting routine Michael created for me. I would highly recommend Active PT to anyone but especially people who really want to put the effort it.

I’ve been working with Michael and I am so lucky! He addressed my whole body to alleviate the various chronic pains and imbalances I’ve had for the last several years. I’ve gone in with pain and left feeling so much better just after one session. And after about 3 months I am a completely different person! I feel good, I am stronger and if I happen to have a set back, he knows what to do to help me overcome that physical barrier. My neck, shoulders, upper back, core, glutes etc are healthier and stronger than ever now and I know that injuries and getting older don’t automatically equal pain and disability. Thanks for everything Michael and Active PT!

I reached out for physical therapy to address an old ankle injury that had been troubling me for over 15 years. The issues I faced included stiffness, low mobility, and persistent pain, which significantly hampered my athleticism, particularly in golf, running, and gym activities.My experience with Active Redding was exceptional. The care provided by Michael was professional and personalized. He took the time to understand my goals and tailored the therapy to align with my athletic aspirations. This individualized approach was a game-changer for me.One of the standout aspects of Active Redding is the one-on-one care. Unlike other places in Redding, here you work directly with the doctor for the entire session, which is rare and valuable. Felt like I received high quality sessions each time.The results speak for themselves. Through the prescribed exercises and consistent one-on-one sessions, I have experienced more improvement in my ankle mobility and pain relief than I ever expected.I highly recommend Active Redding for anyone seeking quality, personalized physical therapy. The level of care, attention to detail, and the tailored approach they provide is second to none in Redding.

I started working consistently with Michael in June. I have never been a runner but had a goal of running a half marathon in January. The personalized plan and encouragement was just what I needed to reach my goal. I am so excited to call myself a runner now and can’t wait to run my half marathon this week! Michael and everyone at Active PT are amazing!

I reached out to Active Physical Therapy after dealing with shoulder pain for about 10 years. I previously had physical therapy elsewhere on my shoulder but didn’t feel like I had much improvement. After my first hour long session with Active PT, my shoulder already had felt so much better. The exercises and stretches I had been somewhat familiar with, but with the one on one instruction from Michael, I was able to implement correctly and more efficiently. The money I spent was 100% worth it and I plan on continuing follow up sessions because of how good my results are. I would highly recommend anyone to check this place out and see how much your quality of life can improve.

Christian is top notch. Active PT is awesome not only at what they do from a Physical Therapy standpoint but what they are creating here in Redding. They truly aim to be a resource to our community and have a goal of keeping our amazing community active. As an Endurance Coach, I send all of my athletes to Active PT Redding. They have been great with functional improvement for my athletes, with my kiddos as they grow and enjoy sports and with my own active pursuits. I cant say enough about the approach that Christian &and his team are taking.

Christian and his team took me from broken and honestly a bit depressed to the best shape of my life. heres the background. I’m a lifelong mountain biker and kayaker and my shoulders have taken a beating. After a bad crash on the bike my shoulder was a total wreck. I lived in pain for weeks before I started working with Active PT. They helped me strengthen the area, and build support with surrounding muscles. This made such a positive impact on my shoulder that I got inspired to do more. Christian helped me find a trainer to work with and now I’m building towards a stronger more balanced body that will allow me to keep shredding for decades to come. Huge shout out to Christian and Michael for all the advice and support.

So thankful for Active and for all that Jamie has done to help me not live in pain and start thriving physically. I feel heard and have plenty of time in the appointment slots while also having access to an online portal of videos of myself with instruction on how to do what hes given me. Thankful to have found Active!

I went to Active PT after I ran a marathon for a body tune up. So thankful I made that decision! Michael was able to find my weak points where my aches and pains were happening (low back, thoracic, hips). My pain is gone, I’m stronger, lifting heavier, and my mobility has increased. The movements and exercises gave me measurable improvement over time. Michael helped me create plans that worked with my busy schedule. The staff at Active PT are so kind and encouraging! You will not regret making an appointment. Your body will thank you!

As is with life, we all end up with injuries from time to time and recovering can be lengthy. I was fortunate to be guided on the path to recovery with Mike. Mike was caring and compassionate, asking what expected goals and listening to what quality of recovery meant to me. He was able to perform a thorough assessment and we got started on a treatment plan. I progressed with his guidance and am continuing on the path to recovery with a much better quality of life. He was also able to identify and correct other issues along the way. I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family. 10/10

Jamie from Active PT has taught me how to become more flexible and stretch routinely, my pains have diminished and I have grown stronger from it. This locally owned business is a hidden gem here in Redding CA. Thank you so much for your help!

I went to Active PT after my sister, who is a PT herself, found and suggest them to me. She owns her own PT private practice in Florida and knows what to look for in a high quality PT business. I am so glad I finally went instead of putting off shoulder strain/pain that had been progressively getting worse. I met with Michael for my evaluation and 6 treatment sessions to follow. Michael took into consideration my lifestyle and current workout routine and provided me with exercises and stretches that were easy to incorporate — and I actually did them consistently! My shoulder pain was completely gone after about 3 sessions and my overall strength and flexibility increased greatly. My final 3 sessions we worked on various lifting techniques to improve my squats, shoulder presses, and chest presses. I have seen such great progress in all areas in just a few sessions! I highly recommend Active PT! If you have an injury, feeling strain anywhere (like me), or want to see an overall improvement in your performance at the gym, check out Active PT!

I was dealing we chronic shoulder pain that was affecting my ability to work, exercise and generally be active. I heard of Active Physical Therapy and decided to give them a try. I worked with Michael over the last 6+ months and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My pain is gone, I am sleeping better and feel as well as I did before the injury. I will go to them for any future physical therapy needs.

Christian at Active PT is thorough and deeply knowledgeable. The initial visit was a diagnosis of not just the specific pain point and injury that prompted my appointment, but also a diagnosis of the habits and issues I had developed overtime that had lead to the injury. He laid out a plan for addressing the pain and inflammation in the injury and also giving me exercises to fix the underlying issues. Ive been learning how to engage the right muscles and build better habits for truly functional movement. Very happy with my treatment and experience with Active PT.

My experience with Active Physical Therapy has been amazing ! I dislocated my right shoulder twice when I was younger and I never took any steps to try and heal myself correctly. As the years have gone by the pain and lack of motion in my shoulder has started affecting my life . As a maintenance gardener my arms are a very important part of my job . After finally getting tired of the pain I decided to find help . Ive now had 6 visits to my PT Michael and I already feel better than I have in years . Michael has been great . He listens to your issues and knows how to address them accordingly . I really appreciate the one on one time that you get with him . The stretches and the exercises that he has been teaching me has escalated my recovery way past my expectations . I also really like the personal exercise videos that you get . Its nice to be able to watch myself and know that Im doing my exercises correctly . For anyone who is tired of living a life hindered by pain I highly recommend making an appointment . It will be 100% worth it .

Active PT has been a huge blessing for myself and my husband! First of all, the convenience of having in-home treatment is amazing. Christian is warm, genuine, and we fully trust him in our home.As far as treatment, Ive had a chronic shoulder dislocation (right side, 5 x within about 12 years) and I was so encouraged to receive a thorough ASSESSMENT with a clear PLAN! Within 2 sessions I noticed a huge improvement to my shoulder mechanics! *Happy dance*Christian is extremely knowledgeable and helped identify other areas that needed some attention too. As a fitness instructor, its important to me to have longevity in staying active, without pain, and thats exactly what Active PT has helped me do!If you need just one session to get on track, or regular appointments to optimally maintain, Active PT is the way! You only have one body, give it what it deserves yall.

I highly recommend Active PT Redding. In March, I began treatment with Michael. I had 3 areas in my knees that were bothering me and an Achilles tendon issue. Michael provided stretching and strengthening exercises so that I could become stronger in order to take the pressure off my knees and tendon. I feel so much stronger and have videos I can now refer to going forward to continue improving. After 8 sessions, I am now experiencing no pain. Michael was everything I was looking for in a Physical Therapist. He is passionate about healing his patients so that they can get back to doing what they enjoy, he is very knowledgeable and friendly, and I was always seen promptly at my scheduled appointment time.

This is not your average physical therapy business. My expectations were immediately exceeded after minutes into my first session. Christian has proven to be extremely knowledgeable about anything and everything! I compete in CrossFit and he has an understanding for it and how to actually STRENGTHEN my weaknesses unlike any other physical therapist or professional I have seen in the past. What started as rehab has now shifted into a more performance based approach with the goal to reach the strongest version of myself. I have already seen very encouraging results after a few visits! 100/10 recommend!

I highly recommend Emily Blaker at Active Physical Therapy in Redding, CA. I have experienced numerous PT’s since I dislocated my knee in childhood and am now in my 80’s. Emily is by far the most talented, compassionate and effective professional I have worked with. I have arthritis and have a hip and knee both bone on bone. I am not electing replacement surgery because of age and lung issues. I worked with Emily to develop proper body mechanics, muscle strength, stamina, and balance for fall prevention. I have chronic pain from Fibromyalgia. Emily understood the need to go slowly because of the pain. Through working with Emily I have been able to continue living independently, walk for pleasure and exercise and travel.

I CAN PLAY SPORTS AGAIN!I suffered a shoulder dislocation 13 years ago, and had since dislocated my shoulders 17 times. I had to stop playing volleyball and basketball (things I both really enjoyed) for fear that I would have another injury and rack up even more medical debt. After seeing an ad for Active PT, I started seeing Michael in hopes that I could restore some functionality and strength to my shoulders. After three months, I can honestly say that my shoulders have never been stronger, even BEFORE my original injury. I’m able to play sports (EVEN PICKLEBALL) without worry, and feel like I’ve regained a part of my life I thought I’d lost forever. A HUGE shout out and heartfelt THANK YOU to Michael, Christian, and everyone else at Active PT for what they’re doing. They’ve got a patient for LIFE 🙏🏽

Christian and team have been phenomenal. From the first evaluation we were able to find problem areas to focus on and the root of my issue of years of back pain.Coming up on my third visit tomorrow and sticking to the doing daily exercises he prescribed to me, has helped begin to correct the issue. I am feeling an unlock of mobility and wouldn’t be possible without his guidance. Up to you to put in the work and Christian has been awesome identifying what work I have to put in. Thanks team.

Absolutely amazing! My husband and I are traveling in an RV and we were only in town for 2 WEEKS. I have been dealing with calf pain on and off for over a year preventing me from hitting many running goals. The pain started up again about 3 weeks ago, and it was finally time to get someone to look at it. Michael not only helped me in just two sessions (Ran 4 miles today NO PAIN) get back to running, he set me up with strategies to help and PREVENT this from happening again. I have strengthening and stretching exercises to add to my routines to prevent future injuries. 10 out of 10 would recommend them! No matter how long youre in town!

Took my 3 year old in for a shoulder issue… Christian and his team are amazing! You can tell they are all family oriented and we never felt out of place. My son got simple and fun exercises and enjoyed his appointments very much! He made improvements after his very first appointment and we don’t have to worry about further dislocations or future injury as much. 10/10 recommend to everyone!

My running coach recommended I get some physical therapy for my knees which I had overworked while independently increasing my running exercises too quickly. He only had one recommendation: Christian at Active Physical Therapy. I decided to go for it even though my experiences with physical therapists in the past had not been impressive. This time the therapy clearly improved my situation, and Im back running again. The difference? Unlike physical therapists Ive visited in the past who simply prescribe a stretch or strength training regimen, Christian patiently walks you through your diagnosis and describes holistically how a patients posture and movement affect our muscles, bones, specific pressure points, etc. As a patient, I feel grounded in the knowledge he has provided that supports the exercises and training prescribed, which ultimately instills me with greater understanding and confidence to do the training I need to recover/stay recovered. Thank you, Christian! And from what I could observe, Michael seems equally qualified.

Went to see Michael at Active for low back pain. This is different than any PT Ive ever done. For my weekly hour, I was his sole client and only focus, thats their norm. The session is specific to your needs, mine was a combination of stretching, massage, and manipulation. Then exercises that he demonstrated and watched me do. There was no, do these for 15 minutes and Ill get back to you. I got relief from pain by following his plan. I am a big believer in Active Physical Therapy! I will continue to use them to stay pain free!

I saw Christian after a knee injury and was worried that he would tell me I would need to stop running. Luckily that is not what he told me. He encouraged me to ease back into running and gave me exercises to build strength and stability on that side along with some mobility moves. I know another injury will come up and I will definitely go back to Active PT! Thanks for fixing me Christian! Corri V.

I came in for shoulder pain that was preventing me from several exercises and movements. They quickly identified the problem and gave me the resources and education to improve it. After a few sessions, I’ve regained all my strength and then some. Other than they’re great customer service and extensive knowledge, I feel the best part about them is that they gave me the knowledge to improve myself.

Hands down the best decision I made to expedite recovery. I was injured in a car accident and I came to Active Physical Therapy to get relief of pain and gain movement. I was in pain daily with basic movements like walking or squatting, and I was sedentary. Before coming to Active PT, I thought this was my new normal and I would never be able to walk without pain, use stairs, or live my life like I used to. Christian listened, evaluated my situation, and made a plan from day one. He helped me to not only get out of the daily pain I was in, but start walking easier and doing my daily activities again. I am so thankful for the knowledge, support, and skills I have gained from Active PT. If you’re looking for pain relief or to get back to movement, I highly recommend Active Physical Therapy.

Words can not express my gratitude for Active Physical Therapy. Michael has been compassionate and has given me hope and the tools to recover strong. Active Physical Therapy has been a blessing. I first came to them in so much knee pain, hard to walk, and no direction for recovery. Now I am running again, no pain and looking forward to what is in my future. The one on on and personalized programs are doable and highly effective. Micheal explained each exercise and the why behind them. Each exercises is loaded on an app so you can access it anytime. Hands down the BEST physical therapist I have ever been too! I give them 5 stars and would highly recommend them.

I can’t say enough good things about Active Physical Therapy. I shattered my pelvis/hip socket in September of 2021 in a motorcycle accident. After 12 weeks in a wheelchair, I was cleared to start physical therapy and reached out to Christian after seeing his page on Instagram.Christian takes the time before every session to discuss what has been easy/difficult with my recovery from the previous session. It is apparent that it’s not a “cookie cutter” program. The entire session is 1 on 1 with a physical therapist that is tailoring my exercises to my exact needs and not the standard exercises that you’d find with a Google search.In addition to the in-person sessions, Christian provided me with an app for my phone with individual workouts that track my daily progress. These workouts include videos of Christian showing you how to perform the exercise; again, not a cookie cutter program.It’s been 2 months and 1 day since I’ve been cleared to begin attempting to walk and I just finished a mountain bike ride with my family. Im able to hike and ride the same motorcycle that put me in the predicament. Each and every week I feel massive improvements. I strongly recommend Active Physical Therapy if you want a program tailored to help get you back to your normal life.

Active pt is a great place! Very nice location and facility. Christian is a great guy and knows lots! So far my experience has been amazing and I’m sure it will stay amazing throughout the process. I’m so glad I am going there for my knee. He is working on strengthening my leg muscles and has given me a routine to do. I live 45 mins out of Redding and he is still able to help. Just an all round great place! I would definitely recommend going to Active pt.

I’ve been seeing Christian the past couple months and he has exceeded my expectations. I found him thru a Facebook ad just like this one and signed on because he is describing my shoulder problem exactly. I don’t typically respond to advertisements but I can tell you that he is the real deal. I drive 2 hours each way to get there so I’m motivated to get results. My range of motion and strength have improved dramatically and I feel that I have someone guiding me with a personalized plan. My shoulder hadn’t let me do a simple push-up for the past year. But today during therapy I was able to with no pain. If this sounds like you give Christian a call for an assessment.

I have suffered with hip pain for almost a year and was at my wits end. I had done Chiropractic and previous physical therapy with zero results. I then came across an ad for Active Physical Therapy and decided Id give it one more try. This one sounded so much different which gave me a glimmer of hope. I was feeling relief within the first couple of visits.Christian is amazing with his knowledge and hands on approach. I liked the app where I could see my plan of exercises to keep me on track to recovery. I cant say enough about how awesome my experience with him and Active PT have been, so if youre looking for a great therapist I highly recommend him and his staff. You wont be disappointed.

Came in with a wrist injury and within several visits my wrist was significantly improved. Michael has been great to work with. I was given exercises tailored to my lifestyle making it easier to incorporate them into my daily routine.These guys are very knowledgeable and open throughout the process. If there were other pain points like my back, they were more than happy to adjust the session to work on those as well. Would highly recommend these guys.

Active Physical Therapy is by far your best option for any physical therapy need in the Redding area.Christian and Michael are both top notch clinicians and they actually spend time and care for you as an individual when you walk in the door. On the first visit Christian spent a full hour diagnosing my issue and then helped build a plan around getting me back to lifting without pain.Over the course of each treatment I was given new exercises tailored for me through an app that made it super easy to follow.I’m so grateful for their help. I am now 100% and back to living pain free. Active PT is worth every penny and I would recommend them to anyone!

I came to Christian because of my ongoing lower back pain and stiffness after the VA gave me pain meds and told me to accept my back issues as my new normal. Thankfully, Christian was able to quickly identify the most likely source was weakness in my left leg. I enjoy lifting heavy when I workout and it makes sense that my back is trying to compensate when my leg is unable to bare the load. Christian walked me through specific stretches for my back and exercises to rehab my left leg and get me back in the gym doing what I love. Truly grateful for his vast knowledge, expertise and easy to understand plan of action.

Fantastic Therapy! I needed a PT to help with my nagging shoulder injury. I could not find a good Therapist that suited my needs. I needed more preventive care for my shoulder. I did not want my shoulder to get worse and have surgery and or injure it because it was weak and need PT anyway. Chris explains whats going on and works with you for an hour and gives you the tools to help strengthen or correct any issues. An of course he has you come back to check your progress. Fantastic Therapy! I recommend Active Physical Therapy and most likely will go back for other issues.

Highly recommend! I was barely able to move my right arm due to shoulder pain and was taking pain reliever constantly. Instantly the shoulder pain was relieved so no more pain medication. Then with consistent treatments and a daily plan (which is easily laid out in an app to view) I have regained usage of my arm again. I love the atmosphere of the treatment room and the coaching was pivotal to keep me on track.Side note: I also appreciate the fee system that has removed the middleman dictating or limiting how much, what kind, how long my treatment.

I have dealt with headaches from chronic neck issues for over 18 years. More than half of my life. I love to lift weights and work out; however a number of lifts were causing major tension which would in turn cause migraine like headaches that would last several days and sometimes over a week.I went to see Christian after a clinic he and Michael put on at my gym. I’ve been there for several appointments and the results I am getting are amazing! I am improving mobility and strength, and he is making sure that I am learning how to carry that strength over to my fitness routine. We are literally retraining my muscle memory in a way that suits me personally!After my last appointment, I was telling my husband about what I was learning and about my progress and I got choked up! 18 years is a long time to just accept that pain is your norm. And to now be changing that perceived fate? Amazing!I highly recommend Active PT to anyone who has an injury or mobility issue or chronic pain. It can change your life!!!

Michael at Active Physical Therapy provided exceptional care. His services were both effective and very specific to my own situation. What makes them different is that I spent a full hour with the physical therapist compared to spending most of my time with an aide or an assistant. I went in with significant shoulder pain unable to do push-ups and pull-ups to now being able to do more pushups and pull-ups than before. I highly recommend Active Physical Therapy!

Highly recommend!My husband and I have both seen Christian for shoulder problems. His from a fall and mine after treatment from breast cancer. I ended up with a frozen shoulder after several surgeries and mainstream therapy said I was “Fine” due to the confines of insurance. I was recommended to see Christian. He helped me gain mobility and strength back. I love that he puts the exercises in an app for you and he is available for help and questions. He is able to treat the whole person, not limited to the one thing that brought you to him. He spends the entire hour with you and does not rush through something you will never see in traditional PT.Great experience!

Physical therapy was necessary for unexplainable shoulder pain that had halted my workouts and altered the use of my left arm. I worked with Christian, who asked me my goals at our first appointment and then worked with me to achieve them. He explained my injury in a way that I could understand, made sure that I understood the correct form and reason for for all exercises that he suggested and listened to my concerns when something didn’t feel right. He was able to offer a variety of exercises to fit the equipment that I had at home so I didn’t have to buy anything more. The app that he uses to help you stay on track makes getting the work done at home very easy.

I’ve been an avid mountain biker for a while now and for the past year Ive been struggling with numbness in my right hand while out on longer rides. I would have to stop and shake it out ever so often to get the numbness to go away. If the ride was over an hour long I just expected it to happen. Then, recently, my hand started to go numb on shorter rides. Like 30 minutes in and my pinky to middle finger would be numb. Since it was progressing I knew I needed to do something about it. I reached out to Christian at Active PT Redding for some help and after a couple weeks of targeted stretching and exercises I got back on the bike today and completed an hour and a half ride with out any issues. The numbness that I was dealing with is now totally gone and I am back to crushing some trails. Big thanks to Christian for his help and expertise!!

I have been seeing Michael at Active PT for a couple months. I decided I need a physical therapy after tearing a hip flexor and a flareup of a debilitating back injury. I am normally an active, healthy adult. My back injury flares up whenever I’ve been sitting too long, especially after traveling. Michael has worked with me in the office and giving me exercises to do at home. I’ve been following them regularly and I am happy to say that my lower back has been pain free, even after 13 hours on a plane! 5/5 stars.

I started seeing Christian at Active Physical Therapy following back pain from an injury while lifting weights at about 6 months postpartum. During our first session together he identified the causes of my back pain and gave me stretches and exercises to do at home.Christian uses an app to follow and track all recommended stretches & exercises and makes sure they’re reasonable for your home life schedule. After 5 sessions with him I am working out again, which was my biggest goal. He has given me knowledge and confidence to get back to my pre injury lifestyle. Would absolutely recommend!

To say my experience with Michael Hansen was life-changing would not be an overstatement. I went into Active Physical Therapy for an assessment on my shoulder, for which I had decreased mobility and a lot of pain. Michael’s knowledge and skill was immediately evident, not to mention his bedside manner is top-notch. It was also clear to me he truly cared about my health. In a short six visits, the pain is completely gone, and mobility is fully restored. What’s more is the knowledge that I gained, understanding the root cause, and building an arsenal of stretches and exercises to where I will never have the issue again. I only wish that one could see a physical therapist as a preventative measure rather than reactive, once the pain has already set in. I highly recommend Active Physical Therapy.

I injured my back doing CrossFit in March of this year and immediately started working with Christian Mercill following the injury. My back pain was at an 8/10 when I first began physical therapy. Christian was so helpful with first identifying the problem area in my back and giving me feedback about the injury. He then created a game plan for how to safely move forward to eliminate the pain and strengthen my back. During our sessions he listens intently about how my back feels from the week prior and then addresses the area of pain. He is very knowledgeable and experienced in his field of work! Christian has not only helped me start restrengthening my back through an at-home stretch and exercise regimen that he consistently adapts based on my progress, but he has worked on my back in such a way that has decreased the pain to a 3/10 over the course of the past few months. Every time I work with Christian I am encouraged to keep moving forward in my rehabilitation process. He is so positive and personable! I look forward to continuing working with him because I know that he is one of the best of the best physical therapists around town. I would highly recommend Christian to anyone who needs physical therapy! 10/10 would recommend!

I was recently diagnosed with a rotator cuff tear and shoulder impingement and was referred by an orthopedic surgeon for physical therapy. After a month and a half of treatment at a local physical therapy office, I had made only slight gains in my shoulder mobility, with no lessening of my shoulder pain. I switched my care to Active Physical Therapy and began being treated by Dr. Michael Hansen. Improvement began quickly and within 5 weeks I had reclaimed full functionality of my shoulder and was able to resume rock climbing. This is a first class operation and I give it my highest recommendation.

My teenage daughter has been suffering from debilitating knee pain in both knees. Her kneecaps are floating back and forth over her patella. This has severally impacted her passion for soccer. She has been attending physical therapy off and on for three years per her orthopedic doctor. The pain continued to get worse as she continued therapy. The next step was surgery according to her doctor. I called Active Physical Therapy after seeing one of their social media ads. I spoke to Christian and again with Mike about my daughters issue. This is the first time I had a physical therapist confidently tell me they could fix her knees. This is the first time in three years that my daughter has had hope. Her knees are finally improving, with Mikes guidance. She is in far less pain and on her way to recovery. Mikes knowledge and professionalism is apparent during every visit. I will never take her to another physical therapist again. Active Physical Therapy is the only place she has found success.

This was my first time getting physical therapy, and it was an amazing experience all around! I’m a pretty active person, and a former wildland firefighter, and I was dealing with two injuries / sources of pain: ongoing pain in my shoulder that seemed to be exacerbated by lots of push-ups in hot yoga, and chronic pain in my piriformis and hip from running and hiking. It was so bad that I had all but given up running, a thing I love. I saw Michael, who did a series of tests to diagnose the problem (so cool even to know WHY my pain was happening, and to realize how quad tightness and glute weakness conspired to cause pain), and started me with a series of stretches and strength moves to address the problems. My piriformis/hip saw improvement almost right away, while my shoulder required a couple months’ worth of consistent effort. The app they use helped me track what I was doing and stay accountable. By the time we wrapped up our planned program together, I had NO pain in either area. I’m back to running, hiking, and doing push-ups and pull-ups without an issue! It’s like a miracle. Or a science, I guess. Also, Michael was lovely and personable, easy to chat with during our sessions. I can’t recommend Active PT enough! It isn’t cheap, but you get what you pay for, and your health is worth the investment. I also love that they take more time with you (a full hour every visit), so you get stretched out and kinda massaged, plus doing a little workout, every session. It’s incredibly thorough. Go see these guys! They’ll fix ya up.

I started going to Active PT three week ago, after not having the best experience elsewhere and didn’t feel I was progressing. I’ve been suffering from knee pain since Sept from a CrossFit injury. With the help from Christian in just 3 short weeks, I was able to perform heavy back squats with no pain in my knee for the 1st time since my injury. The stretching and exercises Christian has programmed for me has truly helped get my hip, knee & ankle stronger where I finally feel I’m getting back on track with my progress in fitness. I would highly recommend Active PT to anyone suffering with pain.

They guys at Active PT are great! I saw Michael for preventive care and to address some lower back pain I was having while squatting/lifting. Progress was immediate, and within 5 sessions I’m completely pain free. Michael is very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. We collaborated on what stretches/movements worked best for me and my body. I highly recommend seeking treatment at Active PT for injury or preventive care. 😊

I’ve had multiple wonderful experiences with Active PT. After experiencing forearm and shoulder pain with lifting Christian met with me at a convenient time. He worked with me through stretching and strengthening, and I continue to use the videos of our sessions together to rehab on my own. I am now seeing him for some hip mobility and he’s been a life saver. Getting back into fitness after some time away takes a village. Thanks guys!

I have been having shoulder issues for over a year. Not only was I experiencing major pain in daily activities but I did not have much strength or flexibility. So I decided to do something about. I randomly found Christian @ Active Physical Therapy and my journey to healthy shoulders began. Actually it is more of an overall body health check. I have been going there maybe for 2 months and my pain is nearly gone doing daily activities with the shoulder. Not only that but my range of motion is so much better. In addition Christian also helped me with other issues, like neck soreness and ankle pain, as well as back pain. I highly recommend Active Physical Therapy.

I was wondering if Pt would help my shoulder Dr says you need surgery. My wife found Active Physical Therapy, I was very hesitant made a appointment with Michael Hansen. He gave such good energy and the tools to rehab my shoulder. I can now do things that were hard to do,with hard work and dedication anyone can do it . Thank you Michael and team at Active P T.

Have been battling with low back pain off and on for years. Thought I tried everything until someone refer me to Active PT. I’m finally getting the treatment I needed. Very hands-on therapy. One on one for an entire hour each appointment. Mike was great at explaining what was causing the issues and providing exercises and stretches to relieve the pain. I looked forward to my one on one visits with Mike. When I have questions, Mike is a text away to help. Like no other PT I’ve ever done. I highly recommend Active Physical Therapy.

Have been battling with sciatica pain for five months. Thought I tried everything until someone referred me to Christian. I’m finally getting the treatment I needed. Very hands-on therapy. One on one for an entire hour each appointment. Christian is full of so much knowledge. It’s not only exercises and stretches but treating the body as a whole with hydration and nutrition and learning to de-stress and getting proper sleep. I love the tidbits of information I’m getting along the way. When I have questions, Christian is a text away to help. Like no other PT I’ve ever done. I highly recommend Active Physical Therapy. And yes, I have had improvement in my pain levels, and I finally feel positive about my future!

Christian at Active Physical Therapy really cares about my recovery. I am a marathon runner and I went in initially for a diagnostic and got some great maintance work to do going into my long Boston Marathon Training.A couple of months into my training I developed plantar fasciitis so I went in to see Christian again and he did an extensive evaluation finding what the root cause was. I know I’m not just putting a bandaid on an issue, but truly getting the work I need to do to fix the issue so I can keep crushing my running goals and fully recover from plantar fasciitis.Christian pays careful attention to detail and the personalized videos he sends help me remember what to do at home.Thank Christian and Active PT for getting me to the starting line so I can crush my goals!

I have been going to Christian for about 4 or 5 visits and have seen such an improvement! I was experiencing hip pain. Christian did an assessment and figured out a plan that started out with stretching and getting more mobility in the hip. We have now moved on to strengthening and balance. The best part is that I have had no pain since the 2nd session. I am so glad that we are working on strengthening now so that the pain will not come back. I highly recommend Active Physical Therapy.

I started seeing Christian for hip and back pain that I’ve had on and off for over a decade. I do CrossFit all week long so these issues were really getting in the way of my goals. Christian not only got me onto a path of being more and more pain-free but also helped build sustainability in my training and mobility so that I could CrossFit for many more years. Now on most days I don’t even think about pain and my form and mobility is getting so much better in the gym. Working one-on-one with Christian is definitely worth it. He is so helpful and encouraging, he keeps me focused on my goals, helps to correct my weaknesses, and he makes every visit feel personal and purposeful.

I first came to Active Physical Therapy feeling defeated with an old knee and hamstring injury. Beyond just the fact that I immediately started to see improvement I also was given more dedicated intentional time from a physical therapist than ever before that left me feeling confident in my recovery and cared for as a patient. Since this injury I have continued to visit Christian for all my PT needs. 10/10 recommend!

After 20 years of working out I have had quite a few injuries and Christian is the best PT I have ever worked with.I have seen dramatic improvement in my mobility, strength, and self confidence. Many injuries and anxieties that I have struggled with for years have all but left.I think my favorite thing about this place is that I have a vision for the future. I know that I will will live an active and healthy life, thanks to the knowledge and understanding that I have gained while attending Active PT Redding.

I work around the corner from APT. From what Ive seen and heard about the care there, I have recommended friends and clients of mine to Dr Christian (founder) without hesitation. Finally, a PT facility that values your time as much as theirs. I have been thru traditional PT where you feel less like a patient and more like a chart in which they check the boxes and fill out the reports on what you did. Its nothing against the doctors, they try to help you as much as they can while juggling 4+ other patients at the same time. Its a huge bummer of our insurance/healthcare system. Dr Christian gives you his full attention while you work with him, uploads videos of your exercises on an app you can access and is very clear on your care plan. If you can, reach out and find a plan that works best for you and if youre really motivated to do the work required to get better... this is the place to be!

Its been great working with Active Physical Therapy! I dislocated my kneecap and Christian has been guiding me through the recovery process. Appointments are convenient, Ive met him in bothHayfork and Redding, CA. He puts my excercises on an app for easy reference, excercises are updated as I progress, and he checks in to see how Im doing. Christian is compassionate and knows how important it is for me to get back to my active lifestyle as a yoga teacher and mom of two who loves the outdoors!

Christian was great to work with. You can tell he cares about others and is passionate about helping athletes and everyday recreation enthusiasts get back to doing the activities they love. He was able to correctly diagnose the problem with my shoulder after a bike accident, which I thought was a rotator cuff issue but actually a deltoid strain. He showed me stretches and exercises to work out the scar tissue and gain strength. I had range of motion improvement after just the first visit! All in all, I had three sessions with Christian, all in the convenience of my own home, on my schedule. He was super knowledgeable and professional. He gave me a personalized exercise and stretching/recovery program that I could easily do at home or at the gym I already go to. That’s all it took and he didn’t push for more appointments when he saw I had made gains in my mobility. Overall, really happy I gave him a call and got the help I needed so that I can get back to the activities I enjoy. Highly recommend. 👍

After dealing with a hip flexor/IT band issue on and off for over a year that finally got to the point of shooting random pains down my legs, causing ankle swelling and pain, and causing me to feel pain in my hips in any kind of workout or run, I knew I needed some help. Luckily I found Christian and after one assessment he identified the problem, did a couple adjustments and set me up with some easy at-home exercises to help mobilize and strengthen my trouble areas that were causing me pain. I saw improvement in the first week of doing these exercises and I have seen extreme improvement after just one month of working with Christian. I am now able to run and workout pain free, and he is continuing to help me to strengthen all the small muscles that will keep my hip flexor problems away. I can now run almost every day of the week and am lifting more weight in my workouts than I could before seeing him. Christian, being a runner and athlete himself, gets it. He never told me to stop doing the things I love and instead found ways to strengthen my body so that I can continue to enjoy these activities and actually become a better athlete. So thankful to have found him. And to top it all off, he is a really nice guy, easy to work with, makes sessions fun, and is adaptable at finding a program that works best for you on an individual level. I cant say enough great things about Active PT!

I went to Christian at Acive Physical Therapy for pain in my left shoulder. The first few weeks, he gave me exercises, stretching, and manually worked on my shoulder. I casually mentioned pain in other areas, and he promptly asked clarifying questions about it. We worked on multiple different areas in the following weeks. I’m so glad he does one-on-one appointments, and I’m able to work directly with him the whole time. Very thankful that it was not limited to only my shoulder, as my hip, neck, and wrist have all benefited and been much less painful than in the past.Christian is professional, kind, and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend, and will be going back for any other issues I have a future.

During this appointment, he was able to identify the issue which was weak and tight left hip. He gave me a series of exercises to work on a user friendly app. After seeing him only a few times I understand my issue and how to mitigate it so much more, which will help for the rest of my life. His office/appointment space is also pleasant. Thank you Christian!

I am 47 and was having knee pain that was affecting my ability to run. It was super frustrating because I always been super active running and sprinting. It got to the point that even a 1 mile run was uncomfortable and would cause swelling in my posterior knees. Christian worked with me one on one over the period of six months or so. With his help and incorporating what I learned into my daily routine I have gotten back into running shape! I now am able to do over 5 mile runs with NO pain. I never would have thought it possible.

Christian is an amazing PT who has guided and supported me immensely with my second recovery of an Achilles’ tendon rupture. As a busy mom of three and business owner, I ultimately quit traditional PT due to time constraints and lack of overall care from the provider. My first session with Christian was more valuable than ANY of the hours I spent at a traditional office. Not only did he see me in the convenience of my own home, but I truly felt like he was committed to my care and recovery. After each session with Christian, my recovery got better and better. I can’t believe I am already starting to run and jump again after less than 8 months post-op! This recovery has been night and day different from the first time I injured my Achilles and I owe that to Christian, Active PT!

Had constant pain and very limited, stiff, range of motion in my right arm due to (I later learned) a rotator cuff injury. At first just thought I slept on it wrong and it progressively got worse until I couldn’t even brush my teeth with that hand. I had to take a leave of absence from work and was honestly becoming almost depressed from how much it was affecting my life - both the pain and the weakness would completely knock me out and leave me feeling like an invalid - I’m 35, and otherwise healthy. Plus the scary unknown hanging over my head of what it could be and what I should do about it… hoping it wasn’t surgery.I was desperate for any improvement, and a friend recommended Christian at ActivePT. After submitting an inquiry, Christian immediately set up a phone consultation to get a sense for my injury and my goals. It was so refreshing to be treated as a whole person - he asked about personal goals, in addition to being able to return to work (I landed on being able to cook again - which I love, and eventually pick up my son again!) to keep the “why” in focus and stick with the exercises.After only a few weeks I’ve already seen serious improvement. The app he uses makes my personalized exercises (with video) easy to understand and simple to track, keeping me on task for the week.My range of motion is remarkably better and the exercise regimen he created for me has me feeling so much stronger and more confident that I will actually heal!Last night I cooked my first full meal in two months, which felt like an incredible win, and a tangible return to normal. Although I know I still have more work to do, I feel so relieved I won’t need surgery and that I’m already seeing (and feeling!) such improvement. Super grateful.

If you want Physical Therapy that is designed around your needs that will actually restore your function, then this is the place. I had a laundry list of new and old injuries that Active PT tackled with me. No pre printed exercise lists or plans. Everything is completely individualized and focused on your goals (not an insurance companys). It took a bit to find the right path, but I am happy to say I am back to being fully functional in my daily life. If you are willing to put in the work, have patience, and trust the process you will get results here. The flexibility of scheduling and visits (home visits were even an option) was priceless. Thank you Active PT for everything!

I suffered for years with back pain that ranged from a typical soreness all the way to barely being able to move sometimes. While making a change in careers and getting into law enforcement, I knew I had to do something about it and quick. Within just a few minutes here I was able to learn a lot about the root causes of multiple pains I was having, and by the end of the first session I felt better than I have in a very long time. Christian was quick to ask the right questions to pinpoint everything and immediately get me going on exercises and stretches to help me.In the last few months since my first visit here I havent been immobilized by back pain and I havent been worried about being active with my kiddos in fear of the consequences. He truly helped me and informed me as to what was going on and how to help it all. Going through the academy with 15 hour days for 6 days a week I have been very relieved that I could reduce as much stress as I could with his help and wealth of knowledge.If you need to figure out whats going on or how to help with whats going on, make an appointment ASAP. If you already know but want to make better progress, again just make an appointment. You cant be disappointed, youll only heal and get back to life. Christian is very professional, courteous, amiable, and knowledgeable. Dont wait on your pains, just go!

Before working with Christian, I accepted my constant back pain as normal discomfort from years of biking/snowboarding and just getting older. After a few sessions, my daily back pains were gone and I have gained flexibility and stability in my pelvis/back that I never thought possible. Christian has helped me learn and improve my body awareness, and increase my overall coordination, strength and mobility. Im more motivated to stay active and feel better mentally and physically. Active PT is unlike most physical therapy and would highly recommend it if you want to keep doing the things you love!

Christian was amazing! I felt an unusual pain along my IT band several hours after a CrossFit session. It ended up being incredibly painful for several days. I knew going to a doctor or clinic wouldn’t do much, I needed someone that understands the body and CrossFit at the same time.I messaged Christian on Instagram, he called me, we talked and fit me in to get it checked out right away, for an hour. He gave me lots of helpful stretches that are easy to do at home to prevent further injury. He was able to diagnose it as a potential slight tear of the IT band. It’s more than the average walk in clinic would provide you in your 10min visit. If you are active and want to keep moving I cannot recommend Christian enough!! Go see him!!!

I tore my meniscus and MCL in a wakeboarding spill over summer. I started physical therapy 3x a week through an insurance-based clinic. After months of enormous co-pays with little one-on-one attention and feeling like I was just a number in the clinic, I felt discouraged and like my healing had plateaued. I live an active life and enjoy biking, wakeboarding, snowboarding, etc. It felt like my goals were becoming unattainable, then I started working with Christian. His one-on-one time, listening, and care truly were game-changing in my journey. He listened, worked with me, and gave me a home therapy routine. I am back to snowboarding and seeing progress again! I am forever thankful for Christian and his team. 10/10 recommend!!!

If you are looking for Physical Therapy Active Physical Therapy is the BEST PT I have ever had!!! And I have been to many!! Christian takes his time to show exercises, tells you the why’s of doing each move. He gives 100% during your appointment time (not 5 mins with a therapist and then tells you to just go do exercises) which is unheard of these days. He is also always a phone call or text away. Christian truly cares about his clients!!! He always personally checks in with you. He wants to see everyone out living their best life without mobility issues and pain free!!

I can’t imagine having a better rehabilitation experience than what I have had with Active Physical Therapy. Having a physical therapist who is dedicated to your case, spends thorough time with you, and educates you on not only how to heal but how to keep your body well is the gold standard. Christian has a genuine interest in his clients’ well-being AND he knows his stuff. He’s enthusiastic about his work and it shows in the quality of his sessions and follow up. I came to Christian with a back injury that had become chronic and was affecting my daily quality of life. In less than a month I was able to feel an incredible reduction in pain, and thanks to the targeted strengthening exercises and movement education I’ve received from him, I have continued to improve and am back to doing some things I thought I may never be able to do again.100% worth the investment for this level of knowledge, care, and commitment.

I’m always on the lookout for a good PT. I have played high level sports since I was young and have had to manage injuries along the way.I’m always on the lookout for a good PT. I appreciate Christian’s thorough assessment and his ability to create a ‘road map for recovery’ shows the excellence in his craft. I’m thankful to have him in my corner and would recommend him to anyone who’s had niggling pain that you don’t know how to get rid of. He actually changed the recovery game for me.

My Right shoulder had an impingement. Michael Hansen, my DPT at Active, tailored my physical therapy to root cause of my impingement. He also was incredibly encouraging and patient in correctly my little errors that were making my issues worse. All in all, loved my experience!

Christian is super thorough and the kind of guy that asks a lot of questions and really listens. He spends a solid hour with you, makes sure the exercises he gives for homework are applicable for both any current pain and also for pain prevention. I highly recommend him to anyone!

I am extremely thankful for Christian. Having extensively injured both my shoulder and elbow it has been a literal ‘pain’ finding time for rehabilitation between work and school. Christian has made that possible with his mobile services and I always feel much better after he leaves my house. There has been noticeable improvement in my arm since my initial injury and I am encouraged and motivated at the progress made after each of his treatments.

Christian is such an amazing physical therapist. He knows what he is doing, and is able to spend an hour with you. He has helped out my shoulder so much in just a few visit. Honestly the best physical therapist I have seen because of the time he spends and also he is very intentional when you visit him to make sure to get to the root of the pain.

Christian from Active Physical Therapy is awesome! After having 4 children, I could never string together any real running without injury. He set me up with a home program that works for a busy, working mom! Plus, he’s very skilled at manual therapy! I’m back to running! Highly recommend!

Before seeing Christian I was going on week 3 of being in excruciating pain while getting out of bed and the pain was staying with me throughout the day. I could barely hold any weight without my back feeling like it was going to give out. I started working with Christian and instantly I was getting better and stronger again. He was constantly checking in and reminding me of the things I needed to work on. He kept me on track with my heeling process and gave me tools to utilize during recovery and after. Now I’m more aware of the little details that can make a huge difference!

Christian provides top notch care. As a patient, you get a whole hour with him. He is able to take time to talk with you to assess the best approach for treatment. I went in with two problem areas and within 4 sessions I was back to my favorite activity, running. Christian will customize a program specifically for your needs. I highly recommend his services.

Christian has been a saving grace in my life and helped me in many different situations. During pregnancy I suffered terribly from carpal tunnel...constant pain and I couldnt sleep. Christian was able to help me find relief. I also had suffered for about 3 years with a hamstring injury that he helped me recover from... so grateful for his expertise and compassion...

After months of pain medication and chiropractic care providing little relief for the pinched nerve in my neck, a friend told me about Active PT. Since a referral wasn’t needed I was scheduled quickly. After my first visit with Christian, I slept through the night and the numbness went away. So glad I found Active PT!!!

Christian is amazing! After I ran a half marathon in November, I had severe right knee pain. I swore I would never run again. Christian helped me through it. I am back to running and feeling motivated to run another race. I am so thankful for Christian and his team.
