"Laurie Wallace Pastrick is a first class physical therapist. Her attention to detail is what separates her from other therapists and she has a genuine desire to get the most out of the athletes that she works with. I am truly grateful that I had the opportunity to work with Laurie because she was a great support during my recovery. I am forever grateful and thankful that she was a part of my team."
Orthopedic Surgeon at Advanced Surgical Associates
"Laurie is a highly skilled Physical Therapist who is conscientious, passionate and dedicated to providing the best care for her clients. She delivered care and support for a client after a complex 4+ hour knee reconstruction. This included accompanying and supporting my client and his wife at the surgery center, providing 24 hour care at their home for the first 3 days after surgery, and rehabilitated him over the next year to return to him to his prior sporting level.
This type of attention allowed for continuity of care and bridged the gap between the specialized medical care and return to home as well as providing clear communication between my patient, his wife and myself and my medical team. I was able to check in with my client and Laurie the day after surgery as she assisted with correct use of and settings for the CPM (device that provides continuous passive motion to the joint), managing medications, safety precautions and day to day basics at the clients home as well as emotional support. She was also able to get my patient started immediately with valuable soft tissue work, initial strengthening and range of motion safely all within my specific guidelines. With her extensive experience as a Physical Therapist and Athletic Trainer she is able to care for you from the onset of your injury to getting you back to what you love to do. I highly recommend Laurie for all your rehabilitation needs!"

"Laurie helped me recover and rehabilitate following my surgery for a serious knee injury. I am really happy to have chosen her as my therapist, and pleased to write this recommendation. My goal was to return to my sports at the same level I participated before the injury. She began therapy almost immediately after the surgery, and gradually increased the intensity as I could tolerate it. Laurie understood my goal, and knew how to provide exercises that would both return my leg to full functionality and return my sports performance. To do this, she pushed me to do more at every stage of the rehab. The treatments and exercises were customized for what I needed to achieve each step of the way. Now I am back at my prior level of performance at all my sports activities and am very happy with my results."
"I cannot say enough about Laurie as both a person and a physical therapist. Her knowledge is extraordinary. Her optimism is boundless. And her devotion to helping people is remarkable. Laurie’s work truly changed my life. So much that I had to write her yesterday just to let her know why I hadn’t been in contact for awhile: because nothing on me hurts any more. For a 58 year-old athletic male who couldn’t hold a tennis racket, run without foot pain or sleep on his right side when I met her, that’s a pretty amazing statement."
Product Marketing and Recreational Runner
"Laurie recently treated me for an IT band (leg) injury caused by running. I was immediately impressed by her positive attitude and interest in my longterm goals as a runner. She tried a variety of treatments each week until we found the one with the most consistent results. She also gave me exercises to do at home between appointments and assessed my progress each week.
Laurie did a great job of focusing both on treating my current discomfort and finding ways to strengthen my body and improve my flexibility to prevent future injuries. After two months of weekly visits, I'm now running pain-free and feel stronger than before I started treatment. Laurie was always professional and had a genuine interest in my recovery and overall well being. It's very clear that she loves her profession and I highly recommend her!"
Certified Personal Trainer, Owner, Fitness Together, Steele Creek
"I worked with Laurie for shoulder issues I had sustained while working out and quickly found out that there wasn’t much guessing going on, or her being hesitant to try to figure out problems without ordering all kinds of x-rays first. After her treatments, I’d have immediate increases in range of motion in my shoulder. I’ve been in the exercise science field myself for over 22 years so I have a good idea when someone knows what they are talking about. Laurie obviously does. After that I started sending my clients directly to her to help them with their issues. Having gone to doctors a few times in the past, I actually got more specific information from Laurie than them."
"I am so grateful for Laurie's knowledge and skills!! Laurie met me "on the fly" off of the interstate, after I had left work and was on my way to dance class, to treat my foot and tape it in preparation for dance. I had severe plantar fasciitis and it had been very painful and debilitating for a long time. I was very limited in what I could participate in with my dance class. With Laurie's skills and expertise, I was able to recover from it and continue with my dance training. She accommodated my busy schedule and worked on my foot in the parking lot of a restaurant and provided immediate relief. She instructed me on exercises to perform to maintain the flexibility of my foot and used kinesiotape to ensure that the muscle would stay in the correct position during my dance class. I was able to perform all of the jumps and leaps during class without pain or limitations, and with the instructions she gave me, I was able to finally heal, be pain free and return to dance. I am very thankful for Laurie and her skills. Thank you for helping me achieve my goal! "

Head of Therapist Network Development, Luna Care
"I was fortunate to be introduced to Laurie when I first joined Luna. I was responsible for driving growth and therapist recruitment, in markets new to me, and for which I had to quickly familiarize myself. Laurie came recommended as a highly driven therapist with deep insights into physical therapy and savvy business chops. Upon speaking with Laurie, it was immediately obvious her complete devotion to her patients and a deep understanding of the challenges physical therapists face. She is a strategic thinker who brought innovative insights to our conversations, and helped me understand the problems and opportunities to in physical therapy.
Laurie was an incredible asset in directing me to therapists who would immediately benefit from Luna. I enjoyed our conversations because she is extremely personable, as well as being exceptionally informed. We’re incredibly excited for the future of Luna, and we are grateful to Laurie for her astute marketing ideas."

"I had begun to experience pain around my pelvic area and across my sacrum which was limiting my ability to exercise and stretch. As someone who enjoys physical activity, cycling, yoga etc this was very frustrating and distressing. I could not tell where the pain was coming from, whether it was a joint or soft tissue issue and even wondered if it was potentially more serious. I quickly decided to seek out Laurie's professional advice as I knew she was an expert Physical Therapist and Athletic Trainer and that she had a great reputation and successful track record with patients. After a thorough review of my posture, joints and a hands on examination - Laurie was able to identify immediately that it was a joint issue and that my sacroiliac joint was out of alignment. She explained what the issue was and used her skills to mobilize and re-align the joint with a very simple technique.
She then gave me advice on how to treat the area, what to expect (a little soreness), when to return to normal activity and how to avoid a re-occurrence in the future. Without her invaluable services I would have continued on in pain and eventually sought out other medical advice. During the time Laurie spent with me she was the consummate professional, calm, empathetic and supportive and she also gave me a full explanation of the medical problem in language I could easily understand. If you have a sports injury or need rehabilitation of any kind do not hesitate to contact her - you will not be disappointed."
Retired
"I was holidaying in the United States of America, from the UK, when I required advice and treatment relating to a recent knee replacement operation and on going back issues that were becoming problematic and spoiling my holiday. Laurie Wallace Pastrick was recommended by my friend. I was very apprehensive as in the United Kingdom, Concierge Physical Therapy is virtually unheard of. Under the NHS a patient is referred to a physiotherapist with often a 14 week waiting list and then you are entitled to eleven, twenty minutes sessions. As soon as I met Laurie my concerns disappeared as I found her very professional yet approachable and willing to listen and discuss the various problems I had before starting any treatment. I quickly recognised that Laurie knew what she was talking about which meant I was able to relax in her company which is often difficult when meeting a professional practitioner for the first time.
After discussing the various issues I had, Laurie was very 'hands on' with her treatment, another aspect I have found missing in the UK, even finding a problem with my ankle I didn't know I had and quickly rectifying it enabling me to walk down stairs properly - something I hadn't been able to do for a number of years. I found Laurie exceptionally thorough spending two hours trying to find the problems and solutions to my back problems and then later producing a lengthy, detailed report that I have sent to my health practitioners, something I can't thank her enough for. If I had been in San Jose longer, or lived in that area, I would have no hesitation in having Laurie treat me further as I had gained total confidence in her approach, analysis, treatment and advice. I would recommend Laurie Wallace Pastrick and GOAL Concierge Physical Therapy to anyone needing physiotherapy or any other services they provide.
Former Arena Football Player and Sports Consultant
"Laurie is the best Athletic Trainer I have ever worked with. She is honest, easy to get along with, direct and no BS. She will make you do the things you do not want to do… in order to help you achieve the things you want to achieve. She will make you a stronger, healthier athlete and a better person. I met Laurie after moving to Florida in 1998 with Coach Doug Blevins when he took the job as Kicking Coach of the Miami Dolphins. During the two previous years of training, I experienced reoccurring muscle-pulls in the hip flexor, quad and groin of my kicking leg. The doctors working with me at the time contributed the pulls to being an “overworked muscle group”. Needless to say, I was not able to perform in pro camp/workouts at 100% and consequently was released.
Laurie was doing some Athletic Training work with Coach Blevins when we were introduced on a practice field. We spoke about my problems; she asked me numerous questions about the injury as well as my body ~ which I thought to be completely unrelated. As it turned out, my leg was fine… the problems where the result of muscle imbalance in abs and lower back. Laurie made a few recommendations on how to correct this and helped me with pre/post workout stretching, rehab and helped to strengthen the weaker aforementioned muscle groups. Within three months I was consistently performing at a much higher level. I was stronger and faster than I had ever been. Laurie helped to put me in a position to be competitive. Her work and time invested helped me to be better prepared for playing opportunity."
