"Went to Grit PT with nagging knee pain and an uneasy feeling about playing in a local basketball league. I had been nursing a knee injury for over 4 years and lost a lot of strength. Grit pinpointed my issues, created a regimen to safely and slowly build my strength back up, and applied recovery techniques to heal the affected areas. I am now confidently running and jumping like I did in years prior and having fun playing my favorite sport!"

What Our Patients Are Saying
Rated 5.0 stars with 14 Google reviews
"I had my first session with Grit today and Cecilia is very good at what she does. I came in mainly for a running analysis and to see if we could identify what was causing my knee pain while running. She was very thorough and the visit was educational which I appreciated. She took several videos in addition to my running analysis so it was good to see what was going on and the suggestions she made were very tailored to me which I appreciate. I am looking forward to working with Grit to ensure I can run long term without pain."
"I was desperate to avoid knee surgery. Two issues that I was struggling with and trying not to be discouraged! After working with Dr. Cecilia Wong, I gained significant strength in my shoulder, arms and legs. I could finally reach to the back seat of my car from the front seat! A range that had been unachievable before. The muscles around my knees gained strength and much better stability. I avoided surgery! Dr. Ceci is extremely knowledgeable in the field of PT and you can tell she truly cares about helping her clients with recovery and healing."
"Love Grit Physical Therapy! Cece is the best. She is attentive and listens carefully to concerns. I've had knee problems for years and they are finally starting to level out thanks to her guidance and programming. Highly recommend!!"
