Spectrum Orthopedic Sport Therapy

I had three orthopedic injuries within the past year and I was referred to Spectrum by my orthopedist. I’ve seen Rose all three times and she has been knowledgable, encouraging, and helpful with three very different injuries (torn ACL, torn hamstring, rotator cuff surgery). The facility is large, clean and with numerous machines and activities that can provide different physical therapy routines as recovery occurs. I would high recommend Spectrum and Rose.

I had cervical pain issues in 2010 and achieved great results with Ken and now more serious lumbar pain issues and I’m working with him again. I’ve been to two other therapy facilities and working with Ken has been more successful. He’s very knowledgable about how the body works. Works with you 1:1 for most if not all of your session. He’s patient, encouraging, varies the routine. I was only 50% functional, (not walking without pain, not working, unable to do anything around the house, drive much distance) when I started therapy. I had injections which helped with walking but the PT was crucial to regain functionality and reduce pain. I’m back at work and continuing on an upward trajectory. Facility is conveniently located. Jennifer at the front desk is also helpful and friendly.

I’ve experienced numerous spine/​back/​hip problems over the past 20 years, and have been through at least a dozen Physical Therapists. Ken was referred by a friend at my gym, and I have to say that he is exceptionally thorough & knowledgeable. He spent one-​on-​one extensive time with me, unlike other PT offices where they tend to see 3 patients every ½ hour. His understanding of body mechanics, injuries and rehabilitation is really remarkable – he addressed the underlying etiology of my spine problems in a way that no other practitioner was able to diagnosis or treat. I highly recommend him, especially for those of you who have been seeking just the right fit for PT care, and have not been successful. Ken is a wonderful PT.

A beautiful facility with patient, caring staff.
The building is in a quiet area of industrial buildings and parking is around the back with the front door along the side of the building, in other words, plan to walk as you can’t park by the door. When you enter there’s a nice lobby with comfortable chairs and a friendly executive assistant to greet you.
I met with Ken who was patient and really took his time to listen and understand. They were also very respectful of my privacy, taking me into a private room to go over the reason I was there and health history.
The gym is spacious with nice area around each piece of equipment. In terms of comfort, space, privacy, cleanliness, and a professional, knowledgable staff it’s the best i’ve seen and I’ve seen many.

I saw Ken Burns for a few months after I had 2 artificial discs replaced a few years earlier. Ken was recommended by a friend whose wife had persistent shoulder problems for many years. After having seen several other PT’s, she saw Ken, and finally her shoulder is painless again.
Ken figured out the anomolies of my body in 1 session which most other PT’s took 6 to 8 sessions to figure out. Also, his exercises helped me to strengthen my core even more.
I’d seen Steve Anderson at ABA PT in San Mateo right before I saw Ken, and I highly recommend both PT’s!

I am an avid recreational cyclist with hip problems. My body had spent 20 years compensating for a deteriorating right hip joint. Two years ago I started working with Ken Burns at Spectrum to prepare for hip surgery. After surgery Ken worked with me on my recovery, using a variety of techniques including exercises, stretching and deep tissue massage. As my body recovered from the procedure Ken (and his partner/​wife Rose) worked with me to restore the symmetry and strength I had lost as the joint declined. After I was sufficiently recovered, Ken helped me with my position on the bike and corrected some foot/​shoe alignment problems. I now have better function in the hip (and on my bike) than at any time in the previous 10 years!
Throughout my preparation, recovery and rehab the folks at Spectrum consulted with my surgeon and took care of all of the insurance requirements. I only had to show up, ready to do the work with the expert, caring (and often entertaining) staff.
I have recommended Spectrum to several friends and all of them have come to depend on Ken and Rose for their health and well-​being. I do not hesitate to recommend them to everyone.
