Mission District Therapy

Physical Therapy

Mission District Therapy is an independently and privately owned clinic. We began offering physical therapy and rehabilitation services in July 1993 and have operated in three different locations in the Mission District in San Francisco, California. We have been operating at our current location since 2004.

What sets us apart from other physical therapy clinics starts with our independent status. We are not a large corporation rather; we are owned and operated by physical therapists where the focus and offering to the patient is on delivering superior physical therapy and rehabilitation services. In addition, Raul Caimanque, the Clinic Director, who came to the United States in 1981, brought with him a distinguished degree in physical therapy from his native country, Chile, and since that time has acquired more than thirty years of clinical experience and post-graduate study.

    Raul is a master. He is a kind and gentle man with a very skilled hand. He can help when other physical therapists can't, drawing from an enormous body of knowledge and experience all over the world. Seriously, I find this place so soothing I look forward to going there just for the atmosphere... it looks and smells like the 1970s. Not outdated, just similar to the image I have in my mind. A calmer, slower paced era. I know this probably does not make sense. Regardless - you should go here when other physical therapists have failed you!

    Also, next door is an amazing rotisserie. High five!

    I broke my ankle approximately 4 years ago ... and of course I didn't follow directions, so here I am with a "damaged" ankle.
    Enter Raul... he has taken so much time to help get my ankle looking and functioning back to "normal". He has also helped get my hip flexors, quads and core aligned.
    ...
    The staff is fantastic! Andres will always welcome you with a smile, Rico will handle you with care and Raul, his hands are nothing less than MAGICAL!!!

    I'm uncertain I will ever be in a stiletto again, however, a wedge is now possible!
    Mil Gracias Raul!!!

    So far so good. Raul is an amazing PT. He's smart, a hard worker, cares about his patients & wants to serve the mission population & help make the neighborhood nicer. That being said, the place is not glamorous but certainly has everything you will need for PT!
    Appointments almost always begin 10-15 mi s after your scheduled time but they definitely spend as much time as possible with their clients.
    I think everyone who works there is bilingual so this is def a great option if Spanish is your first language.

    I've been coming here for several weeks now since having knee surgery, and must say that I have been extremely gratified with the quality of care, attention to my needs/progress, and the general positive energy of the people and environment throughout my time here. René and Raul in particular have been fantastic partners/mentors/teachers/trainers throughout the rehab process. I'm now well on the road to recovery, and I hope therefore that I won't be a client much longer, but these have been some fantastic therapists, neighbors, and friends.

    I had surgery for a torn meniscus on my right knee and I had 18 sessions of therapy. I can tell you unequivocally that Raul and René are exceptional at what they do. These guys will get you back into shape. Raul is really professional and René is the comedian that puts you at ease even do he is drilling and encouraging you. These guys are awesome. Even Emily and Socorro at the front desk are awesome!
