What people are saying.
“I have been dealing with vertigo and dizziness for years, which never seemed to improve despite all my doctor and neurologist visits. I went up and down the Bay Area seeing specialists, from UCSF to Stanford, trying to figure out what was going on. Even with all the testing and imaging that I did, no one could figure out what to do!
Thankfully, I was recommended to try vestibular therapy with David and my life has been completely changed. He is one of very few PTs who can treat vestibular symptoms and he incorporated his unique manual techniques to finally resolve my ongoing dizziness and headaches that no one has been able to crack! David provides knowledge and understanding of my condition and he really helped me learn about my condition and how to successfully treat it. I've seen countless physical therapists for many different problems, but David is truly one-of-a-kind. I cannot thank him enough for changing my life and I encourage everyone who was suffering, like me, to see him as soon as you can. Don’t wait!”

“As a former high school athlete and current weekend warrior, I had my fair share of injuries and been knocked around too many times. This resulted with a handful of injuries, including my torn rotator cuff and a torn ACL which required surgery. I went through multiple physiotherapists which initially helped, but I never felt 100% again and it stopped me from playing my favorite sport - tennis.
I am extremely fortunate to have found David, who revisited my old injuries and surgeries and actually helped me work out the scar tissues and muscle imbalances that were left over. When other PTs danced around the issue, David dove head-in to work on my issues without hesitation.
He is a master with Graston Technique and also highly skilled with cupping, which turned out to be what I needed all these years to get me over the hump. David’s expertise and unique treatment abilities are incredible, making him one of the best PTs I’ve ever come across. If you are dealing with stubborn, old injuries or just underwent surgery - David is a must-see. 5/5 Stars!”

“I highly recommend Dr. David Li, the founder & owner of 1Up Physical Therapy. He has successfully treated me for several different issues over the past few years and because of his personalized treatment plans, I've been able to recover and improve in each situation. David really cares about his patients & is very thoughtful and thorough in his approach.
He is extremely knowledgeable in body mechanics & takes the time to show me how to do the exercises in my treatment plan so I'm able to do them on my own. He is very professional & responsive when I need to schedule appointments and communicates very clearly about the "do's and don't's" of what I can do while I'm recovering. David has a very easy demeanor & makes me feel very comfortable in his care. I've seen other physical therapists in the past, but David is a league of his own & will continue to be my go to Dr. when it comes to dealing with pain or mobility issues.”
