I went to see Dr. Josh because my right knee was clicking and sore during activity. After a few weeks, it started to get worse. I have never had something like this before, so I knew at this point that random mobility or recovery would not be enough. Instead of chasing things on my own, I sought out professional help.I considered going through my HMO, but I was worried about the length of time to get into see someone and as an active person, I did not want to be told, “Just stop doing the things that cause pain.” I wanted to return to activity better than ever and I knew Dr. Josh from a fitness expo the previous year, appreciated his approach, and booked an appointment. I was able to see him within two weeks.After working with him for a few months, my knee feels much better and I am able to participate fully without limitation or hesitation. As an active individual, I keep getting other minor tweaks to the shoulders, hamstrings, or low back…and Dr. Josh was always able to prioritize areas of higher discomfort and adjust movements to help me get better and back to 100%. Dr. Josh is great at trying things out and making recommendations based upon how I respond, and not just because his own agenda. He was always asking questions on how things felt and was very attentive to observe small changes in movement quality or expressions to help him identify the optimal way forward.I have recommended him to a couple people at our gym and I really appreciate his goal to get back to a high level of performance over the long term while simultaneously reducing pain and discomfort in the short term.Thankfully, I am pain free and given the range of exercises that Dr. Josh provided during our sessions, I hope to stay that way. However, if something comes up, I am confident that if I needed a knowledgeable and positive professional, Dr. Josh and Base Camp Physical Therapy are always available to get me in to figure things out.

The Basecamp PT clinic has a welcoming environment thanks to both Josh and Nick. I recently worked with Josh for my knee issue, and he provided me with some really insightful information that not only helped improve my immediate problem but also set me on the right path for appropriate training as a runner. He conducts a thorough analysis and health evaluation to ensure his investigative work gives him a clear picture of the root cause of the issue I presented with. He put me through some movement, strength, and other tests that were challenging but highly beneficial because we were able to determine an appropriate starting point for my care. As a chiropractor, I have been introduced to and worked with many physical therapists, and I can honestly say Josh is brilliant at what he does. I highly recommend him to all athletes, fitness enthusiasts, runners, and those alike.

I started working with Josh several months ago regarding shin splints, hip and ankle issues from improper running form as well as an imbalance in muscle development. Within a few months of working with Josh, Im thrilled to write that I no longer have these issues. Through working on form, flexibility and properly strengthening muscles in a more balanced way, it has made a HUGE difference! Whether its due to an injury or simply want to create a better balanced body and become more knowledgeable, I highly recommend Josh and BaseCamp PT.

I started training for a half marathon last year and then began getting injured. The right hip started hurting and then my tendons started hurting. I had been working with the Bay Fitness who recommended I go see Josh at BaseCamp just to get an assessment and get a general idea of what was happening. I went in thinking I would just get an assessment and ended up buying a package because I was so sold with the approach Josh was using. I ended up getting a 10-package session and have seen amazing results. Right after I did this, I got into a terrible car accident where my left hip was injured. Josh has been able to help me with strength, form, and mobility and I am back to running at a really health pace. I really appreciate the atmosphere and working with Josh. He is super dedicated, funny, and genuine. I have seen other PTs which has felt like such a joke and a waste of time for me. I really feel like I get my moneys worth here.I signed up for a marathon in November (it is March) and I have no doubt that I will be able to complete it. I highly recommend Josh at Basecamp because you will see results!

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

I’m so glad I finally went!!! Nick was amazing! I had injured my knee on Maui in October (literally just sitting in a chair in an awkward position for too long; middle age, am I right?), and then further tweaked it when swimming in the ocean, a strong wave slammed my heel into the sand, mildly hyperextending my knee.I spent the next six months resting my knee, and while it felt like it helped in the moment, I hated feeling limited, and I kept tweaking it if I did anything beyond basic walking.I had heard great things about BaseCamp from my runner friends, and decided to give them a try. Nick was really friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable. Within my first session, he had correctly determined the problem with my knee, and started building a program to provide support and stabilization for my knee, while strengthening my body.Within three weeks, I was almost entirely pain-free! In addition to the knee injury, I have an autoimmune disease, and Nick was incredibly patient and flexible with my plan, modifying it along the way to accommodate my limited energy and unlimited inflammation. He was curious and interested, and treated me as a whole person.I’m now lifting weights at a gym, and while I can run (and do everything) without knee pain, resting for six months before addressing my knee issues really zapped my cardio capabilities. But I’m building back up, and never knew how strong I actually was. I hope to never need physical therapy again, but if I do, I know who I’m calling.

Josh is fantastic! Josh is one of the best Physical Therapists out there. The thing thats different about Josh is he doesnt tell you that you cant do something. He really assesses your situation and works with you to improve it. Hes so good with youth athletes too.

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

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

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

I really found tremendous value with all my sessions at BaseCamp with the person named Nick. His attention to detail, great listing skills to knowing and understanding my issues were just a couple of things that helped my problems. Throughout my time with Nick, we solved my health issues at a really good pace while keeping my priorities in focus. The whole process and steps we took to address my issues were fantastic. If you are looking for a place that is looking out for your best interest and solving health issues, you should go here.

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

I cannot say enough great things about BaseCamp Physical Therapy! I had an S-I joint injury for 18-months (which is very hard to diagnose), and had tried acupuncture, chiropractic care, nerve block shots, and another physical therapy office and NOTHING helped in a lasting way. I was beginning to think that I would never participate again the the sports I love - running, biking, yoga. Dr. Nick Pasadis at BaseCamp took my problem very seriously and looked at it as a scientist would - ruling things out systematically and giving me exercises that challenged me in the way I needed. He was meticulous in his methods, and they really worked! (Not to mention he is just a wonderfully positive and inspiring person!)I am now fully back to participating in sports at the level I was before my injury. When my daughter had a soccer knee injury - I took her there, of course! She is back to her sport as well. We both have a plan for continued care moving forward, and an exercise program that will keep us strong and away from injuries in the future.What I love the most about BaseCamp physical therapy is that I learned what types of discomfort are healthy and ok for my body, because it is working hard, and what types of pain to avoid. I know my body much better now and feel confident entering into new athletic endeavors. Ten weeks of PT at BaseCamp has been nothing short of LIFE CHANGING for me. (Also, my insurance company reimbursed 50% of the cost for PT).

I have been having knee pain for about a year and a half leading up to seeing Josh. Nothing too bad, but definitely noticeable. I was able to continue doing what I like to do as far as staying active so I didnt do much about it other than just basic anti-inflammatory stuff. Around August of 2022 I noticed that I couldnt run without pain anymore and I knew immediately it was time to get professional help. Fortunately I found Josh at BaseCamp and his specialty is getting runners back to running pain-free! As a an athlete himself, he understands the mindset of wanting to be more than just back to normal movement, he wants you to get. back to living your active lifestyle. After our first session, I noticed a difference in how my knees feel. He made sure to give me homework after and progressed me appropriately the very next time I saw him. I am now able to run without pain and I am starting to get back to more advanced jumping and sport-specific work and I cant thank Josh enough! Highly, highly recommend Josh at BaseCamp PT if youre really serious about wanting to get back to living your active lifestyle.

I had a horrible tear of my LCL and meniscus and the team at Basecamp worked diligently to understand my injury, provided me with targeted exercises and routines, and adjust based on my learning style. When you need a more comprehensive solution than what your insurance might offer, this is the place to go.

I sought out Joshs help at BaseCamp Physical Therapy after being unable to fully heal a bicep tendon injury over the course of one year. I saw several other physical practitioners but was still dealing with leftover pain and weaknesses, hindering me in my athletic pursuits. I was told Josh is an expert on shoulder injuries and I am so glad I went to see him! I am feeling much stronger and have been able to perform pain free in a lot of activities after following his treatment plan for three months. I appreciate Joshs level of professionalism and his genuine care for his patients, wanting me to feel my best and do what I love. 100% would recommend BaseCamp Physical Therapy!

Josh got me running again, which was my primary goal. Every interaction with him was thorough and enlightening. He managed my challenges with care and patience. It was incredible that he could pinpoint the underlying issues so quickly and find just the right exercises. I fully recommend Joshs services and consider my experience money well invested in my future. Thank you Josh for getting my running again.

When I started looking for a physical therapist, I was looking to find something other than reactive therapy, but proactive treatment. Something to prevent injury, not just focus on recovering from injury. As a runner completing ultramarathons in the mountains, I wanted to remain healthy so I could continue to compete. After doing some searching in my area, I found one place that had the same mindset to PT as I did. That’s when I met Dr. Josh Madonick over at Base Camp Physical Therapy. Their motto: For Athletes, By Athletes is as true as it says. Josh is incredibly knowledgeable and informative. As a proven athlete himself, his mentality on physical therapy is focused on the commonly forgotten half of physical therapy: preventative therapy. You would perform preventative maintenance on your high performance vehicle; why wouldn’t you do the same for your high performance machine known as your body? I called up their office and received a call back that day to schedule a consult appointment with Dr. Madonick. I was in his office a week later and set in place a thorough training plan that day. His knowledge is superior and his ability to dial in specific plans is impressive. He is relatable and enjoyable to be with. If you are looking for the type of physical therapy that is tailored toward athletes, then Dr. Josh Madonick is the man to go to. I felt healthy going into my first session with no injuries. After the many weeks of physical therapy, I have left with improved flexibility that I didn’t know I was lacking because Josh was able to isolate and treat underlying conditions that were preventing me from running farther and faster in the mountains with fewer recovery days and fewer days injured. My mobility has dramatically improved from my hips down, something that has always been a plague of mountaineering. Josh works with your schedule and is flexible to seek your needs. He is also very reachable at any time if you have questions about a certain exercise or a new pain that comes up on your off days. He has tons of videos of him performing the maneuvers so if you forget how to do the exercise, he has a detailed descriptive video of him actually doing the exercise and giving you the same tips he discussed in your session right there in the video. Incredible work those folks have done. If you’re an athlete who wants to improve your performance, then call up Base Camp Physical Therapy and talk to Josh about taking your skill and sport to the next level. It’s time you find your peak!

My 11-year-old daughter is a competitive soccer player who sustained a hamstring injury on 8/17/23. This was her first real injury, and it took her time to tell us about it. While we were hoping that the basics (Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate) would be enough for her, we werent seeing much improvement after 3 weeks. So, we started searching for what to do, and were recommended by her pediatrician to go see a PT.I was recommended to BaseCamp Physical Therapy, and Dr. Josh Madonick, by 2 of my daughters soccer trainers. They were able to talk to us on the phone, and schedule us for our first appointment, all within 24 hours of me reaching out. This helped kickstart us on the path toward recovery.Several things set BaseCamp Physical Therapy apart from other physical therapy centers. My daughter worked with a licensed physical therapist for the entire 60-minute appointment. I have personally experienced other physical therapy centers, where you are lucky to get 10 minutes with a physical therapist and spend the rest of the time working with an aide.Another benefit is that the therapists are athletes themselves, so they understand not only the mindset of being an athlete, but also the need to work toward optimal performance. Their space is perfect for athletes, with accessibility to a full gym & equipment as well.I will admit that I did have sticker shock of the cost at first, but that is clearly because I was used to insurance covering it. After experiencing the quality of care and the detail of their work, it was a great investment in my daughter’s soccer journey. Now that she has returned to play, I feel confident and assured that she has the necessary education of stretches and warm ups to try to prevent another injury. We will continue to see them occasionally to maximize her potential, but are now working on injury prevention and performance.This was a tough injury for my daughter as she was sidelined for 9 weeks and missed most of her season, but were so grateful we found Josh & Nick at BaseCamp Physical Therapy. They helped us navigate the recovery process and gave us the confidence that she is physically ready to return to the sport she loves – SOCCER! Thank you!

I sought out Josh and Basecamp Physical Therapy for an issue that was limiting me to the point that any physical activity was out of the question.Joshs assessment was so thorough and he talked me through his thought process and why we were doing everything that we were. It was mind blowing his level of knowledge in finding what the source of the problem could be. After about 3 months of pain and constant limitations, I was already feeling a difference after only our first session together! Josh gave me an easy to follow routine for home that not only fit my needs, but fit my schedule so we could continue to improve. Ive been able to move better and regain my old strength back without pain since we started working together.As a health professional myself, and having worked alongside a handful of physical therapists previously, I couldnt recommend Josh highly enough! He genuinely cares about his clients, their health, their progress and his expertise in the field of rehabilitation is simply unmatched.

I visited Josh awhile after injuring myself running my first a marathon last August. To make things worse, shortly after my marathon, I had further injured my lower back after lifting too much weight doing deadlifts. I am an avid soccer player and this completely took me out of the game. I wasnt able to finish our championship match because of the combined pain in my back and knee. I tried what I thought was everything, stretching, massages, chiropractor etc. for months before finally seeking more help. I was a little hesitant going to see Josh because I was worried things wouldnt change. 1 hour later I was a believer. The assessment and initial work that we did in just our first appointment gave me progress and hope that I would get back to playing pain free. After multiple sessions with Josh, I am now pain free, I have signed up and competed in triathlons, I am stronger and more mobile in soccer and other sports than I can ever remember being. Ive since recommended my step-brother see Josh and hes already seeing progress with his injuries as well. Couldnt be happier with the experience at BaseCamp and the results from working with Josh, hes a true professional and I would strongly recommend his practice to athletes, runners and anyone who is looking to live their best physical life.

A few months before finding Josh I had injured my shoulder. I thought that resting it, and taking a break from my sport (horseback archery) would give it time to heal. As the time passed, and my shoulder pain got worse I decided to go to the doctor who prescribed physical therapy. After 6 sessions of PT at another clinic I was seeing little to no improvement, and I felt like I was literally going backwards. In desperation I started googling “Physical Therapy for Athletes” and that is how I found BaseCamp Physical Therapy!All I can say is WOW! After only TWO visits with Josh the pain in my shoulder was significantly better! I would go so far as to say I made 50% progress in only two sessions! I was blown away! Now after 5 visits I am so excited to report that I am at least 80% recovered, I am back to shooting my bow, and I am finally feeling much more like myself again! I am certain that Josh will help me get to 100% in no time!I have been in Physical Therapy before, and I can say with confidence that the level of care that I have received at BaseCamp Physical Therapy is above and beyond anything that I have ever experienced previously. Josh is incredibly patient, kind, and knowledgeable. He has methodically developed an exercise program to fit my exact needs, and the progress that I have made in such a short time shows just how effective that program has been! Thanks to Josh I am well on my way to getting back to the sport that I love again! I am forever grateful!

My son was unable to continue his basketball season due to a knee and shoulder injury. We are Kaiser, however, the PT offered was not working and also was not available on a weekly rotation. I made a facebook post to my friends asking for a savvy physical therapist who speciliazes in sports injuries for teens and BaseCamp was suggested by two people. My 16 year old son has been seeing Dr. Josh for about six weeks and he has made significant progress. He follows his routines at home, he is motivated by Josh to engage in the homework at the gym, he is more aware of his body and listens to it better, he actually LIKES working with Josh and expresses that Josh listens to him and explains everything very well about his body and the goals for his rehabiliatation. As a parent, I feel very well informed, heard and a part of the process. Working with BaseCamp has been an excellent experience. They are easy to communicate with, timely, and work with our schedule as much as possible.

I have spent most of my adult life with shoulder issues, from a torn labrum to small injuries here and there. I always figured it would just be how my body was and I should get used to it. But after another random shoulder injury I was recommended to Josh by a friend who worked with him before at another physical therapy clinic. Josh has helped me work past being constantly injured and has helped me gain full function of my shoulders in ways I did not think I would be able to before. I enjoy playing sports and being active, and that part of my life is now back on track and isn’t side lined every 2 months. Josh’s practice differs from some others I have tried because he does not focus on just getting you back to average daily life activities, he specializes in getting you fit for the activities you want to do but did not think you could. He also will work with you on whatever you want, because he is there for you to reach your goals, not what the insurance company says you can do. I had a 250 degree tear of my labrum after which I could barely sleep on my side after two years and a surgery. Now I am playing golf, basketball, lifting weights and doing whatever I want without pain. I highly recommend giving BaseCamp a try.

My son suffered a severe ankle injury playing football, fully rupturing tendons on both sides of his ankle. We made the decision to try conservative treatment and rehab first, but when progress plateaued a repeat MRI was taken and we realized ankle reconstruction surgery was needed. His dreams of playing baseball that season were crushed. When considering rehab options after this major surgery, I knew that Josh at BaseCamp would be the perfect fit for my son. With Joshs background playing sports himself, his ability to connect with adolescents and his awesomeness as a physical therapist I had no hesitation putting my sons rehab in his hands. My son steadily progressed with Josh, never complaining and always motivated to do his exercises and go to PT. His goal was to get back to baseball to play his senior year. I love that Josh kept me in the loop with progress reports and videos so I could see how much my son was improving. The Success Story - my son hit a homerun his first at bat of the season after returning from the injury....and I immediately texted Josh to say THANK YOU for getting my son back to this level!

Josh is an excellent physical therapist. He is well trained, skilled and knowledgeable. Josh took the time to listen to the issues I was having with my shoulders and was careful with planning my exercises. I was impressed with his ability to get to the core of my problem. Best of all he was effective! I would recommend him highly!

My daughter, a competitive gymnast, sprained her ankle over a year ago. During lockdowns, her workouts were moved to Zoom and we believe it triggered pain in her ankle that was injured. Josh was highly recommended, so we reached out to him. Josh assessed her late January of this year. He gave her exercises to work on between each session and what I love about him is that he not only made the sessions comfortable for her, but he also used the time to educate her. He got to know her on her level and interests and she truly found them fun. I believe that’s why she was so dedicated to doing her exercises daily. After just four sessions my daughter is 99% better! She is extremely happy to be able to be doing all of the events in her workouts. She can’t stop smiling and skipping! I highly recommend Josh! He is passionate at helping people get better and is truly gifted at what he does.

I found Basecamp Physical Therapy from the Petaluma Running Club FB page. Im so glad I did! I had a history of tailbone pain and had been feeling hip tightness and aching daily for months before starting with Josh. My hip pain then became knee pain as well which I was no longer able to ignore as I began to run more consistently and longer distances. I sought out Basecamp Physical Therapy because I wanted to run without pain and be able to progress in my running. After spending a few months working with Josh I really noticed results in my hip pain. I no longer had aches and pains throughout the day and night. I was able to slowly increase my running distance without my knee pain kicking in. Months out now I am much stronger and my body is in such a better place to be running. I recommend BPT to anyone that has pain while running or just wants to get stronger and do it the right way. Im grateful for the care I got and how much better I feel now!

Josh was a fantastic physical therapist. He really helped me recover from shoulder surgery. I arrived at one appointment not having slept for several nights due to severe pain in my shoulder. Josh was able to manipulate things in that shoulder and that evening I finally slept. And the severe pain seemed to disappear. He always seemed to know the right spots to work on. He was always encouraging! I highly recommend Josh!

I looked forward to going to physical therapy!! I have had multiple knee surgeries from being an athlete my whole life. Therefore, I have had experienced many physical therapists. No other physical therapist could help me with my knee problems. I thought I wouldnt be able skii or do anything that requires side to side movement again. Josh helped me regain my strength in my knee to move in different directions. Josh is a very innovative physical therapist that is result oriented. Not only will he help you physically recover but help gain your confidence back to do the things you love!!!

Josh treated me for a large hematoma after having been in an accident that required surgery on my leg. I was concerned with my recovery time as I had an upcoming trip overseas. I found Josh to be extremely personable, and an excellent listener who offered encouragement every step of the way. He assessed my progress, or lack thereof, with each visit and provided a variety of exercises which he adapted to my ability/situation. But what I liked most about Josh was his hands-on approach to treating me. He wasnt locked into any one specific modality and really worked with me to achieve the goals that I had set given my limited recovery time. He has a broad range of skills, all of which he seems to have mastered. Josh was truly instrumental to my speedy recovery and I wont hesitate should I require his service in the future.

Josh is the consummate professional with the sweetest disposition. His knowledge and deep understanding of the anatomy and bio-mechanics of the body surpasses his years. He was so attuned to my issues and customized exercises and tested strength/weakness so that my rehab was made for just for me! After a lot of pain from a blown out disc in my lower back, Josh helped me get back to more active and strong place safely and confidently. I would highly recommend working with Josh.

I would highly recommend Josh, he was super professional and clearly passionate and knowledgeable in his field. He worked with my son for several weeks rehabbing from a fracture. We have had many sports injuries and surgeries in our house with 3 athletic boys and our experience with Josh was far and away the best PT experience. In addition to being incredibly knowledgeable and professional hes also a nice all around guy and made the PT process one my son looked forward to. Thanks Josh!

My daughter was a competitive gymnast who suffered an MPFL (Medial patellofemoral ligament) tear at a 2019 state meet. After 3 surgeries at the age of 15 she was still quite compromised. She had physical therapy throughout but nothing seemed to work. Then a friend referred us to Josh saying that before we made any more decisions he should take a look at her knee. We started seeing Josh this summer and from that first appointment he gave us so much hope. He took the time to really figure out the cause of our daughters pain. He gave us the impression that he thought about her knee long after we left so that during the next appointment he would have a new strategy ready to try. He is FANTASTIC with teens. He is smart, funny, easy to talk to and just an incredible physical therapist. My daughter had her last session with Josh in October and we were really sad to leave. My daughters never mentions her knee anymore!! Shes turned her attention to swimming and is feeling really strong again. Josh is fantastic at what he does. He gets 5+ stars from our family.

I went into Basecamp Physical Therapy because of lower back pain that was hindering my work, and physical activity. It had been constant pain for about a year, but I had finally reached a breaking point when just getting out of bed caused loads of pain. I am glad I took the first steps, and scheduled an appointment. Dr. Madonick put me through a series of movements to identify the cause of the pain then prescribed one daily exercise I could do to relieve that pain. Since that moment I was a believer. I am now 4 sessions in, performing multiple daily exercises, and my lower back has never felt stronger. I am back to doing the activities I love (dirt biking, jiu jitsu, weightlifting). I can’t wait to see how much more improvement I make in the coming up months. Dr. Madonick and his crew at Basecamp are top notch and I can’t recommend them enough.

I started seeing Josh after experiencing back pains for the first time in my life. I was immediately impressed as he showed me what was causing the pain and the ways it could be lessened or eliminated. Throughout the PT process he was always professional and very informative of what my progress was. I highly recommend Josh and his group for any therapy, but more specifically for spine and sport related problems.

Josh is amazing at what he does. I originally came to him for knee pain that started from my workouts. He showed me how to alter certain exercises to correct my form. He also guided me through strengthening my core through breathing exercises. I was so grateful for that because I’ve never able to engage my core without feeling pain in my low back. I’m so thankful for his knowledge. He is very intuitive and truly cares about his clients.

Our son fell at Scout camp and hurt his knee. He couldnt stand up on it and was taken to the hospital and given crutches and a brace. Initially doctors thought he had torn his MCL and other ligaments. They recommended Physical Therapy immediately. We waited about a week as we looked into therapists but most of them were in northern Santa Rosa which wouldnt have worked for us since we live and work in Petaluma full time. We also waited a week because his knee was so swollen that it needed to go down a bit before he saw someone. A coworkers husband was going to Josh at Base Camp and it turns out it was just a few doors down from my office. She gave me Joshs number and we had a great consultation call and he recommended Drew come in and meet with him. We were super impressed with Josh and his personal demeanor. Drew immediately felt at ease with him, especially when he started talking about how he really focuses on athletes with injuries and getting them back to playing their sport as soon as possible. Our son is a multi-sport athlete and it was important to him to heal as quickly as possible. That was ours and our sons main concern, that he be ready to play basketball in a few months for his high school team. We did an MRI and learned no tear, just a severe sprain. Josh worked with our son over 6 weeks to get his knee strong again with exercises targeting his knee. He is totally back to normal and feels great thanks to Josh. We would definitely recommend Josh to anyone, especially student athletes, looking for therapy. Josh targets the whole body and really gets to know the patient and their interests. He works hard to get them back into their pre-injury state and our son feels stronger than ever. Thanks Josh!

Josh is one of the most gifted PTs I have worked with over the last 10 years. What makes Josh great is that he thinks outside of the box when it comes to rehabilitation. He realized that not all PT moves/exercises work for everyone and explored other movement modalities that broadened his scope when it comes to rehabbing your body. I suffered a back injury and spent a year in PT without seeing much progress. Two weeks with Josh brought pain free movement. Two months in I was resuming my Pilates after 15 months off and I was also able to start doing more cardio as well. He gives you exercises to take home and if you dont do them you feel the difference in your body. I highly recommend Josh as a PT.

I was pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness with which Josh was able to address my hip pain. He was able to minimize the discomfort that I had been experiencing and restore confidence in my ability to safely participate in any future physical activities. He accomplished this through some innovative and unconventional means and in a thoughtful and efficient manner. He was a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to see him for any future issues should the need arise.

Ive been competing, training, and/or participating in one sport or another for my entire life. Over those past 39 years, Ive been hurt or injured (yes very different things...) many times and worked with several doctors, trainers, physical therapists, chiropractors, etc. to recover and return to the activities that I love. Sometimes it feels like youre playing wheel of fortune when you show up for treatment not knowing whos hands youre putting your recovery in and whether it will be worth your time or $$.Well - I was incredibly lucky to find Josh Madonick. Hes the rare combination of capable athlete and intuitive therapist that can interpret your condition and develop treatment that gets you back in the game, fast. I came to Josh looking for a miracle as I admitted when we first met. Severe IT band pain had been hampering my training for an 8 person 200 mile Ragnar relay race that was 18 days away.Josh put me on a treatment plan that included rolling therapy, stretching, and most importantly strength exercises that allowed me to address the source of my condition while improving endurance. These treatments and exercises allowed me to finish training and complete the Ragnar race with my team completely pain free.I highly recommend Josh for anyone that wants to get moving again and stay in the game!

I came down with a low back injury that was very painfully debilitating in my personal and work life. After about a week of rest it did not get any better. I saw my doctor and started seeing a PT. I quickly realized I was not going to get better fast due to various limitations of that PT business. I then attempted another location without a return call after leaving messages every day for a week and still haven’t gotten a call back. This process took 8 weeks.I then came across BaseCamp which stood out because of the many 5 star reviews. I called, left a message and Josh returned my call within a couple of hours. Josh and I discussed my injury in which he was very professional and told me that back pain is a common injury he treats at BaseCamp. Josh was accommodating to my needs so I scheduled my first appointment.Now I’ve had 5 PT sessions so far I am feeling minimal if any pain now. Josh is very thorough and has excellent assessment skills. There is a reason BaseCamp has 5 star reviews. If you have an injury and want to get better without wasting your time, look no further. I highly recommend BaseCamp to anyone who is serious about healing.

Ive been a physical therapist PT, DPT for several years now. Ive also been a friend, professional peer, and graduate school classmate of Josh Madonick PT, DPT for eight years. He is a VERY talented physical therapist with exceptional attention to detail that is always individual/diagnosis based. His multiple certifications, additional knowledge, and treatment quality benefit all of his patients. He will always be a great choice when it comes to physical therapists and has spectacular reviews as well!

Josh was absolutely amazing, I had a lower back injury caused from back squatting, he was very thorough with his assement, and prescribed and guided me through proper breathing, bracing, and stretching techniques, which over the course of my treatment got me back into the gym pain free. God forbid I get injured again, but if I did, I would definitely see Josh. I wouldn’t just consider him a physical therapist, but a friend too. Much mahalo!

Josh knows his stuff. I injured my knee, and my goal is to get back to running. He has helped me to strengthen my weaknesses, shore up some balance in my body. I feel that I will be back on the road in due time. He knows the connections, observes where you need help, and uses a whole body approach to healing, and this is what works in the end. I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking answers to their issues.

Josh is the best! Not only is he an expert in his subject matter but he is a pleasure to be around. He was able to properly diagnose and treat a nagging issue I have been dealing with for 5+ years and I was able to finally get some relief from the pain. I went to a PT in LA years ago for this nagging shoulder pain and she had me do a lot of shoulder strengthening and flexibility stretches but it never got better. She eventually just told me there was nothing else she could do for me. Not the case at all with Josh. He was able to determine that I actually had a torsioned pelvis and addressed my pain from the root cause, rather than the symptom. Im doing much better now thanks to his knack for observation and diagnosis.
