R3 Athletic & Physical Therapy is a full-service physical therapy, prevention, and performance clinic offering 1:1 care. Nothing should stop you.

We offer complimentary Discovery Sessions during which we answer your questions, learn more about your goals, and discuss how R3 Athletic can help you achieve those goals. The evolution of healthcare policies over the years has made it considerably difficult for healthcare professionals to provide quality care that is focused 100% on the patient. For physical therapy clients, the consequence is extended recovery periods and/or improperly treated conditions that result in further injury or pain. R3 Athletic was founded on the belief that we’re all meant to move, play, and be active in order to live joyful, healthy lives. Our practice is dictated by our commitment to helping patients and clients achieve this lifestyle and build good habits immediately, as time is one of our most valuable - and limited - resources. Whether you want to enjoy the beautiful Bay Area weather on a 5-mile trail run or want to join a pick-up game of basketball, you should be able to jump right in. Competitive athletes should feel confident their bodies won’t let them down. We can help you get there and more importantly maintain it.

🏅🏃🏻‍♀️ Dr. Des ran a 5K.
🏅🏃🏻‍♀️ Dr. Shaine ran a Half Marathon.
We are so proud of these two!

This is what it looks like when the people who pour everything into their clients take time to show up for themselves too. Both of them lined up at the Rock ‘N’ Roll San Jose race weekend last week.

Watching our own Doctors of Physical Therapy compete and accomplish something they worked hard for is one of the best parts of being part of this team.

Congratulations Dr. Des and Dr. Shaine! Well earned! 🙌

If your elbow pain flares up right before a match, this is the technique that gets athletes back in action fast. 👇

Dr. Des performing elbow manipulation on Dr. Michael. When lateral epicondylitis or medial epicondylitis is at a high irritability level, joint manipulation applied with precision and speed can reduce elbow pain and restore range of motion faster than exercise alone in the early stages.

What elbow manipulation addresses:
✅ Tennis elbow, lateral epicondylitis, outer elbow pain
✅ Golf elbow, medial epicondylitis, inner elbow pain
✅ High irritability elbow conditions restricting sport performance
✅ Restricted range of motion limiting overhead and rotational movements

When applied correctly, it is safe, precise, and often exactly what the elbow needs to unlock before the real rehabilitation work begins.

And yes, Dr. Michael survived. 😄

Science just put an exact number on how much strength training you need to live longer. Did you hit it this week? 💪

A 30-year study of nearly 150,000 adults found that 90 to 120 minutes of resistance training per week reduces all-cause mortality by 13%, cardiovascular death by 19%, and neurological disease death by 27%.

Two 45-minute sessions gets you there. The harder question is whether injury or chronic pain is quietly eating into that target year after year.

The deadlift variation your lower back will actually thank you for. 💪

The trap bar deadlift allows you to stand inside the hex bar frame, grip at your sides with a neutral grip, and pull with a more upright torso that reduces lumbar spine stress significantly compared to a conventional deadlift.

Why it works:
✅ Less lower back stress with a more upright torso and neutral grip
✅ Greater quad and glute activation than conventional deadlifts
✅ Easier to learn for beginners and active adults new to loading
✅ Versatile for strength building, hypertrophy, and athletic performance

Beginner or experienced. Managing back sensitivity or chasing strength gains. The trap bar delivers.

Save this if you have ever avoided deadlifting because of lower back pain.

8 months of sciatica. That is a long time to be in pain and still not have real answers. 😓

This client tried to push through it before finding R3. What changed was working with Dr. Desiree, who took the time to actually understand his condition before building a plan around targeted exercises and proper posture guidance.

The difference was immediate. He has since returned to work and keeps improving every day.
