I had a knee injury 4 years ago that resulted in lots of crunch and pain when taking the stairs, walking, or sitting for too long. After an MRI, I was directed to go to PT and I'm so glad that I found Rising Sun. I came becuase of the raving reviews and I feel the same way! I've been working with Simone for about two months now and she really listens and takes the time to explain what exactly is going on at every step. She even patiently explained my MRI results at the beginning so that I knew how to interpret them (Something my knee specialist doc did not do). In the last two months, my baseline level of pain has gone down, my hip pain has gone away completely from overcompensating for my knee, I'm able to stand for hours longer and going up and down stairs is hurting less. When my knee is sore after a long day of activity, the recovery period is SO much shorter now that I have the knowledge and tools to help get my knee back to normal and pain-free. I can't recommend Simone, and Rising Sun enough. I thought my knee was going to hurt forever and I was so shocked at our re-evaluation about things that used to hurt and don't anymore. Truly the best! Thank you!!!

I worked with Bettina for over a year for various chronic and acute issues and she is the best physical therapist I have ever had! When I first came to Rising Sun I was in constant pain and was unable to do many everyday things, and after working with Bettina I am now able be more active than I have been in years. She has such an incredible understanding of how the body works and is able to recommend a wide range of things both in and outside of physical therapy in a way that really helped me to set up me own healing process in a way I would not have been able to on my own. I really appreciate how she works with her patients and has a collaborative approach that made going to appointments something that I actually looked forward to. Thank you so much to Bettina and everyone at Rising Sun for all that you do!

Hello everyone! Rising Sun is amazing place to go to for PT. The reason for this post is to speak about the Deep Tissue Laser Therapy. You can use it on different body parts but I'm using it for my knees. Prior to the treatments I was considering knee replacement as I was in excruciating pain. It took approx. 4-6 weeks for it to start working. I go every other week. It has truly changed my life! I have so much more mobility and have very little pain. If you are dealing with any physical discomfort in your body please try this. I am forever grateful to Bettina and her team!!! I would be more than happy to discuss this with anyone that is curious about the laser. Bettina can put me in touch with you. Blessings................

I cannot recommend Rising Sun enough. Alondra at the front desk is super helpful and on top of everything, helps with making/changing appointments and getting out reminders and checking in each appointment, communicates over text as well which makes life really easy. The PT sessions are super super helpful, attentive and informative but also low stress and friendly. I was never worried about possibly making an injury worse which was a concern of mine before PT. Personally worked with Simone and she was great like A+++. I severed my achilles so it was a big injury and it is truly back to normal because of Rising Sun!

I've seen so many physical therapists over the years, but there's something special about Bettina. Her knowledge and experience of the body are incredible, and my condition has tremendously improved since seeing her. The staff are both friendly and incredibly competent, their communication with me goes above and beyond the experiences I've had in healthcare. I commute almost an hour and back sometimes during rush hour in the heart of the city, but it's worth it because the type of care I receive here I cannot find anywhere else.

If you have pelvic floor dysfunction as a male, you will quickly find not many physical therapists treat this. I only had a couple options in all of SF, and I’m so glad I went to Rising Sun. Bettina did an amazing job as a mental and physical coach through my recovery. The office has an awesome view of buildings in downtown. If you come here you’ll get the 1-on-1 training and attention you need to succeed! 5 stars!

I received excellent care from Simone for my knee pain after a torn meniscus in my left knee and some arthritis in my right. The stretching and strengthening exercises, together with her physical manipulations, made a big difference for my knee discomfort. I recommend Rising Sun Physical Therapy highly. You will be well-served by their knowledge and professionalism.

Bettina is a true healer. Physical therapy can be tough and frustrating sometimes, but Bettina is excellent at helping patients through the physical as well as emotional aspects of the treatment. You can tell she brings passion to her work and cares about the patient's outcome and overall wellbeing.

Bettina is a healer. Compassionate, fierce, and knowledgeable- she is magical. Bettina drew from many different modalities to help me feel safe, protected, and move through pain quickly. Her work is deep and full of both practical and intuitive wisdom. Highly recommend!

I have been going to Rising Sun Physical Therapy for a few months now. The first day I met my physical therapist, Simone Vienneau, I was completely defeated by the pain in my lower back. I was angry, upset, and constantly hurting every day.

My first 2 visits for PT with Simone and had an improved results because she is a well experience therapist focusing my arm finding the best possible to ease my pain. I knew this is going to be a while because of my severe overused arm over

For the past 1-2 years, I was dealing with the need to go pee more than usual. I'd go many times during the day and even woke up 1-2 times every night to go. I felt horrible about it and thought this would be my reality.

I could not recommend Rising Sun Physical Therapy enough. I don't write reviews often, but Bettina and team have changed my life.
