WELCOME TO RED HAWK PHYSICAL THERAPY
San Francisco’s Leading Physical Therapy Clinic
Red Hawk Physical Therapy was my creation many years ago, and has now become the collaborative effort of many talented therapists and support staff. I want to practice physical therapy as an art and as a science in a supportive healing and warm environment.
I have been practicing Physical Therapy for more than 28 years, over half my life, and could never think of doing anything else. We strive for an easy family feel to the clinic making your appointment relaxing and not yet another stress of the day. My personal style combines varied manual techniques, soft tissue as well as spinal and peripheral joint mobilizations.
These skills combine to resolve the causative factors in pain and dysfunction. I try to get to the root of the problem and prevent further breakdown while healing the damage already done.
I have been practicing Yoga for 30 years and much of my prescriptive exercise base is from Hatha principles. If you can learn to breathe and release the soft tissue restrictions in the body, you can heal almost anything. I am proud of what we have created at Red Hawk Physical Therapy, Inc., and hope you will find what you are looking for at our clinics.
Harvey has been practicing the art of physical therapy for over 28 years. After graduating from the Physical Therapy program at the University of Vermont, he moved to California and practiced for six years in Los Angeles, never quite feeling home in Southern California, he moved to San Francisco in 1987 and directed a sports medicine center for six years. In 1994, Harvey began his own private practice and today employs five other therapists and PTAs. He operates four separate out-patient clinics under the name Red Hawk Physical Therapy, Inc. Read More

For further wellness during and after your experience with Red Hawk, each patient is instructed in a customized home and/or gym exercise program. Whether the injury is sports, work or everyday-life related, we feel that patient knowledge and independence are key to long-term well being.
OUR APPROACH
Our approach is holistic, hands-on and integrates education with instruction.
Treatments consist of one-on-one time with the physical therapist followed by customized exercise instruction. A wide range of therapeutic practices is employed. This self-managed approach helps patients become more aware of their bodies and assists them in being an active, informed participant in the process of healing. This program can be useful in everyday exercise or work activity and can prevent injury and reduce pain.
