What patients say

All reviews
★★★★★

“Rather than just working on the injured muscle, he found all kinds of ways to strengthen the muscles around it so my calf had the support and time it needed to actually heal. Nothing felt cookie-cutter. Jay was constantly paying attention to what my body was doing, adjusting what we worked on, and finding new ways for me to keep getting stronger without setting the injury back.”

“He did an in-person assessment to understand my mobility and where I was starting from, then used a digital app to send me weekly training and mobility programs. Jay was super responsive and always adjusted things based on how I was feeling that week. Thanks to his guidance, I improved my mobility, stayed injury-free, and felt fully ready for my marathon.”

“I have been a patient of Jason Villareal for over 10 years and multiple ailments and injuries. He helped me recover from shoulder surgery, hip surgery, a calf tear and a hamstring injury. I am almost 60 and still running, cycling and lifting - I owe much of this to the care and guidance I received from Jay!”

Questions

Common questions

All questions Pricing and insurance
Will I need orthotics?

Sometimes, but most people do better by building foot and calf strength first. We’ll tell you if orthotics make sense for you.

I’ve sprained my ankle many times. Can that be fixed?

Yes. Repeat sprains usually come from lost balance and strength, and both can be retrained.
