Keeping dancers on their toes

since 2012

Welcome! I’m Aimee Martel, a San Francisco Bay Area physical therapist helping dancers, artistic athletes and active people improve the way they move, recover from injury, and reach their goals. I have a passion for providing quality one-on-one patient centered care, and opened my practice in 2012. I am a certified Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) instructor, and a Founding Member of DanseMedica and Doctors for Dancers. I enjoy helping artistic athletes achieve their highest potential with the safest, strongest technique. Thanks for stopping by!
