Tri-Valley Bodyworks

Back in to see Keith with pain in same ankle where I had a previous achilles injury. Again he worked his magic and told me what stretches I need to do every day. Without him I would be hobbling around like an old man, well I kind of am, but he is AWESOME!!!

Keith diagnosed and cured my 25 year old back problems. Plus, he likes good music. Cool guy.

If you have a pain issue, call Keith Ortiz. He was able to fix in 1 visit what numerous chiropractor and physical therapists were not in my hip and lower back. He’s extremely knowledgable and used different techniques that actually worked. I’m so happy and still astonished that he was able to make a difference when I thought no one could. Thank you Keith!

The massage is comparable with other decent massages that you can get across town. However there is the issue that this particular place can charge not only 1.5−3 times the other massage places but also vary the price of the massage every time you go!
The place doesn’t have a price chart or a clear prove policy. So you could be charged $ 100 for a 45 minute massage or $ 150 for the same massage based on no particular reason or promotion.
The place, it’s ambience and service could improve — it’s too bright and not cozy. Plus there is no water or any drink offered post massage.
Not convincing, not ethical and not compelling enough for the varying exorbitant prices without a rationale.

The first time I saw Keith was about 5 years ago. As an aging volleyball player I had numerous issues that he was able to take care of. The most recent was only a couple months ago. I had frozen shoulder and it was not getting better no matter what I did (more than a year of pain). I finally called Keith and after the third session it was gone. There is no one who knows the mechanics of the human muscular/​joint system better than Keith — no matter what you’ve got going on, he knows just what to do to fix you up.

Stop the pain! Call Keith. I have been seeing Keith for over five years now with tremendous results. Before seeing Keith, I was seeing a chiropractor and a massage therapist every couple weeks. After a couple weeks, I was back again for the same adjustment or treatment because the same pain would return. The crazy thing is, I did that for 29 years before I met Keith. After my first appointment with Keith, I could tell something was different. My neck and my upper back felt so relieved with the muscles relaxed. Keith was actually treating the muscles that held my spine in place, just not popping and cracking my vertebrates into place. It feels good for a while to have your vertebrates crack and pop in the place. However, for me the treatment never lasted. In a week or two, I was back having the treatment done over and over again.
With Keith I see constant progress. The neck and upper back pain that I had treated for years is gone. At first I was seeing Keith on a very regular basis to get my pain under control and now I see him every couple months for continued good health and maintenance. I have referred many people including family, friends, and coworkers to Keith. At our big family functions when one of the guests starts complaining about aches and pains, more than one person will say go see Keith.

Not too shabby!

What can be said about Keith that hasn’t already been said? That is exactly what led me to him, the thoughtful reviewers before me.
I was a broken down mess when I came to Keith. I wish I could say it was from my latest triathlon, but it was most likely from working 10 – 12 hours a day chained to a desk for many years. During my first visit Keith was able to assess what was going on with me and I walked out of there that very first day with hope that I could be pain free. I have seen him 4 times and I can honestly say that I am almost completely pain free. My longer stride is back, I am keeping up with the best of them and I can’t wait until Daylight Savings Time when I will be out taking my four mile walks after work.
Run, walk, hobble or crawl to Keith, he will fix you!

I have been going to Chiropractics for many years, but this one tops them all. I mean Mr. Kieth Ortez.
On my first visit he able to identify and relieve pain in the complex shoulders muscles. I will Definitely recommend him to everyone i know! Five Stars plus Thank You
Mr. Sarary

Keith is great! I gave been to him twice now, and he sure got my body back in alignment.
I know a few other people that have gone to him with brilliant results too.

Keith is a genius! This review is loooong overdue, as earlier this year I began experiencing terrible pain which I self diagnosed as being sciatic nerve (sciatica) related. I read many a glowing review for Tri Valley, so I gave them a ring and described my problem. Right away I detected a cool, calm, confidence in Keith/Susan’s responses. Sort of like when you describe a noise in your car to a mechanic, that «oh yeah we’ve fixed that 1000 times» response that automatically has you feeling more at ease.
So I booked an appointment and got myself in there ASAP. Keith asked me a number of lifestyle questions while instructing and stretching me in the proper places. I’ve never seen my limbs bend in some of the directions they went in before! To quote one Mr Mellencamp, it hurt so good!
Keith then accurately noted that I clearly was not much for stretching during my regular workout routines. He said I was the least flexible person he had seen (early 30s with the flexibility of a 55 year old!) and he customized a foam roller and stretching routine for me.
I will be the first to admit I suck at making myself do this sort of thing diligently, but I did the stretches often enough that within a few weeks, I was back to running/​jumping and sitting with reckless abandon! Tri Valley prides themselves in what they refer to as «one and done» visits. This is like the anti-​mantra for a chiropractor; most places want to hook you and keep bringing you back and charging.
Tri Valley is so affordable that you will KICK yourself if you go elsewhere and then meet someone like me who has seen the light here :) I will certainly be back soon! Not for myself but for my girlfriend, who was in a car accident and has never, after years of chirovampires, recovered fully from her neck/​hip injuries and I get this feeling she will soon be making a Unilocal account just to review as well!
Thank you SO MUCH Keith and Susan!!!

Keith Ortiz is a an amazing professional In a matter of two weeks, he has alleviated my severe inflamed sciatic nerve. I had been suffering for three weeks, taking pain medication, anti-​inflammatory pills and muscle relaxers (prescribes by my family doctor). Two chiropractors recommended either epidural or surgery. Nothing can be done. However, Keith is optimistic and helps me become optimistic about my chronic pain. Today, I can walk better and I am hoping I can sleep at least more than 5 hours without waking up in extreme pain. Keith uses your own body’s muscles and strength to gently adjust you and put pressure in your tight points. It’s nice to have part of my body working again. I noticed my legs are stronger every day.
Thank you Keith for encouraging me to be patient and to help me recover faster.

Look no further than Keith & Tri Valley Bodyworks to solve your pain issues and get you back to feeling good! I have been a client for over 5 years and had several ailments and injuries that were helped or solved by Keith. I had a chronic neck pain that had been ongoing for 3 years and was being managed by only pain meds from my primary doctor. I heard how great Keith was at mastering physical issues and gave him a try. Within two visits he had the issue corrected and I was able to get med free for that problem for the last four years!
Today I saw Keith for back and hip pain due to an auto accident. Physical therapy made the situation worse with a bad alignment on my back which doubled the pain. Keith did a complete evaluation and worked his magic and I was able to walk out of his office with greatly reduced pain/​discomfort. And I know tomorrow I will even feel better!
Keith is compassionate and honestly cares about his clients and their best interests. He has devoted his life to his craft and keeps current on business trends by teaching and taking classes to continue to build on his techniques.
The office is in a great location, and has flexible hours (including later appointments and some Saturday). Susan runs the office and maintains scheduling effortlessly. Her professionalism and sunny disposition make her a pleasure to work with! The whole office atmosphere puts you at ease.
A great company and very talented staff!
Thanks again, TVB! :)

My husband was having severe neck and shoulder pain for several weeks (I tried to get him to go to the doctor). After suffering spasms one early morning, he willingly went to Kaiser emergency for help. The doctor took an x-​ray and said they couldn’t find anything wrong. They prescribed 2 different drugs and sent him home.
My husband drives a fuel truck for a living. He can’t take drugs and work. A friend at work recommended Tri-​Valley Bodyworks and said Keith is amazing. He helped her after a car accident and 2 years with a chiropractor who couldn’t help.
She was right. Keith is AMAZING. First of all, he is NOT a chiropractor. After one 90 minute visit and consultation, the only thing he prescribed were exercises. In just 4 days, my husband has no more shoulder pain and the neck pain is almost gone. He will not milk you for money. If he can’t fix you, he will tell you so. His only goal is to get you PAIN FREE!

Not much to add that has not been said already. Keith is a kind and helpful man that genuinely cares. I will recommend him to anyone needing such help.

Keith is someone who genuinely cares about helping the people who walk through his door. On top of that he is curious, trying to figure out what brought you to him and how to fix it.
I have been battling pain for over a year and a half related to whiplash. On my first visit when he was doing the evaluation, having me bend, I could tell me neck was twisting to the side even though I was bending straight forward… creepy. Also terrible that no one else ever checked this, hello! It makes sense to me, you may be fine static but when moving have issues.
I felt a lot better after the first visit although the pain crept back in and I went for a touch up after a month. The first visit there were at least three spots he had to adjust and on the second visit only one. Also, he only charged me for a half hour visit on the second follow up because it was less time.
Integrity.

Not only is Keith a wizard with taking away physical pain, he is kind, gentle, and has genuine love for his work and his clients. I have been to see him 3 times.
Keith provided me with education about what was going on in my body to make me so uncomfortable, what to do to prevent further problems, and how to maintain the fix after the appointment was finished.
I saw him today regarding neck pain due to a snowboarding injury that I have been stubbornly tolerating for a month. I have not slept properly since my injury. I walked out of his office with tears of joy in anticipation of a pain-​free night of sleep.

Keith Ortiz, Tri-​Valley Bodyworks Dublin CA, is an extraordinary body worker and healer. He is nothing short of miraculous when it comes to working with chronic pain and inflammation in the body — back pain, neck pain, joint pain — you name it, he’s the wizard you need to see.
In the San Ramon Valley area of California (Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, Danville, Alamo, Walnut Creek) when I hear people complaining of back pain, joint pain, neck pack, chronic inflammation — well, body pain and suffering — I don’t hesitate to recommend Keith Ortiz at Tri-​Valley Bodyworks to them.
Why? I had chronic back pain of some kind that I suffered for a year or so with. That was 3 years ago. Today? Honestly I can’t remember the specific pain and ailment I was having. I know it was low back and involved bouts of sciatica, but I cannot remember the experience of the pain and suffering — my mind and my body seem to have let it go, even the memory traces seem to be gone gone.
This alone is enough to recommend Keith as the «go to» guy for pain relief and soft tissue body work, but there’s much more. Keith is a great person and human being. He has an incredible knowledge of the body. He has an endless curiosity and quest to know more and increase his level of skill and experience. For instance, he told me he wanted to understand feet more, so he studied feet from a 40-​year army vet — a guy that worked with tens of thousands of foot problems over the years, a master of foot pain problems. Think about how important the foot is — it is the primary point of physical contact of your body with the earth. It bears and distributes all your weight. Any pain and misalignment will involve your feet in some kind of compensatory action at the very least.
Keith loves dogs, motorcycles and his wife — which add to his likeability. It was an almost fatal motorcycle crash that led Keith to body work. To heal his body required two to three years of intensive rehabilitation. He became interested in the body and body work as a means to heal his body and prove the experts wrong — that he would never be 100% gain.
Keith works on some big, big guys — like the Oakland Raiders. Imagine the level of knowledge and skill it takes to keep a 350lb linebacker’s body in shape.
In my life of 62 years and counting, I’ve probably visited over 30 chiropractors around the country. The number of massage therapist exceeds that — a good massage is my way of saying thanks to my body for all it’s done the pat week. The way Keith worked with my body introduced me to some mind blowing moves — how did he do that? Fascinating stuff.
At this moment, I am on a plane. I’m 3 hours and fifteen minutes into a 4 hour flight and was reading Likeable Social Media: How to Delight Your Customers which discusses social media marketing — one of bases I cover for the Harper Team (Internet Marketing and Social Media Marketing are critical for successful real estate teams). I haven’t been to see Keith in over a year and a half, but here I am reading about «Liking» someone on Facebook as I fly eastward and Keith Ortiz’s name sails into my head.
So, I sat the book down, opened up my laptop — and am writing this recommendation. I’ve sent family and friends to Keith as well as strangers. Do you suffer from chronic pain or inflammation? Go see Keith at Tri-​Valley Bodyworks in Dublin CA.

If I could give Keith 100 stars, I would. I have seen him 3 times now, each time for a different injury/​pain.
Most my most recent visit was regarding my wrist. I injured my left wrist completing the Tough Mudder in Sept. of this year (about 2 months ago). I initially thought it was a sprain, let it rest and thought nothing of it. 10 days later, as the pain had gotten worse, I decided it was time to see someone. I went to the minor injury @ Kaiser Pleasanton. (Mistake #1). Upon inspection of my wrist (and a «clear» x-​ray), the doctor said that I had tendinitis and I needed to be in a cast. He put me in a cast for three weeks, all but completely immobilizing my wrist. (Mistake #2). During that time, the pain in my wrist increased, along with the inflammation, and I developed new, wonderful limitations in my mobility.
My friend, who is studying to be a nurse, told me that the worst possible thing for an injury of that nature is to immobilize it. She told me to get rid of the cast and start a stretching regiment. After a week and a half of stretching, icing and NO weight-​baring movements or exercising, my wrist started to feel a bit better (but it still wasn’t right).
FINALLY, I scheduled an appointment with Keith Ortiz, who had worked miracles on my hips and lower vertebrae in previous visits.
Today I woke up with the same throbbing pain that I had begun to get accustomed to and drove over to his office in Dublin.
Within a few minutes he determines that, along with my tendinitis, I have a dislocated wrist (way to go, Kaiser). He then proceeded to bend and massage and tweak and rub and stretch and pull for about 5 minutes.
I had also been having some pain in my butt when I run and walk up or down stairs. He remembered that I had pelvic girdle/​hip issues in the past and began to inspect the levels/​positioning of my hips. After positioning my body into various positions and then having my exert energy where he tells me to, I felt a low *pop* and a huge sense of relief that I didn’t even know I needed. He continued to work on the muscles around the affected area, stretching and massaging them to encourage the newly-​aligned bone to stay in alignment.
After a total of 25 minutes (Yeah, 25 minutes), I walk out of his office with a wrist that I can bend without crying, legs that can run, and set of exercises and stretches to ensure that they stay that way.
In other words, I trust Keith Ortiz more than any other chiropractor, physical therapist, sports therapist, doctor, etc. Next time, i will save myself the pain and trouble and go see Mr. Ortiz FIRST.
BTW — ALL other injuries that I have seen Keith for over the last year have never resurfaced because I have been willing to listen to his simple suggestions for maintenance (stretching, strengthening, etc.)

I cannot say enough about Keith. I started seeing him back in 2003 after a horrid car accident, where I had to take a summer off of grad school and move back home. I tried EVERYTHING. Painkillers, massage, Rolfing, Chiropractors (who made me feel even worse). Towards the end of the summer I could barely walk and felt hopeless. Fortunately, my massage therapist introduced me to Keith. His quiet calmness instantly made me feel at ease and I had an intuition that he would heal me. And yes he did w/​in 30 minutes, and taught me stretches to keep the structure intact.
Apparently, he used to heal people that were constantly riding horses and injured their pelvises. Keith is the only one that is able to correct my pelvic girdle issues, using a technique that not many other people can master, and very different than the aggressive chiropractic care.
He can magically sense whenever my neck/​spine is out as well, and with VERY gentle contract and release techniques he is able to put my back right.
I have known him and seen him for about 8 years now, and I have to say that he is not only a kind giving, generous soul, but he is more than a healer, a friend that has been there for me through tough times.
I highly recommend seeing Keith for any body issues!
I even drove an hour yesterday during work hours after throwing my back/​pelvis out during a dance class!
Go see Keith, you won’t regret it!
