Dr. Noman Naqvi is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Director of Rehabilitation bringing evidence-based, hands-on treatment to San Francisco. Get back to moving without limits.
Pain isn't normal. But most people accept it, work around it, or mask it with medication. Here's what that costs you.
Skipping workouts, avoiding stairs, sleeping badly. You've adjusted your entire life around a problem that keeps getting worse.
Medication masks symptoms but doesn't address the underlying dysfunction. You deserve actual recovery, not a temporary cover-up.
Cookie-cutter exercise sheets and 15-minute sessions with a rotating cast of therapists. That's not real physical therapy.
From weekend warriors to desk workers, every treatment plan is built from the ground up for your specific condition and goals.
Get back to competing with confidence. Targeted recovery programs for sprains, tears, and overuse injuries at every athletic level.
Expert treatment for joint, muscle, and skeletal conditions — from post-surgical rehab to chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Evidence-based approaches combining manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and modalities to reduce persistent pain and restore function.
Occupational rehab, ergonomic assessments, and proactive injury prevention programs to keep you performing at your peak.
Three clear steps from first visit to lasting results. No guesswork, no generic protocols.
A thorough evaluation of your movement patterns, pain triggers, medical history, and personal goals. We find the root cause — not just the symptom.
An individualized treatment plan combining hands-on manual therapy, targeted exercises, and evidence-based modalities designed specifically for you.
Ongoing progress tracking, home exercise programs, and education so you stay strong and pain-free long after your last session.
Doctoral-level training, clinical leadership experience, and a research-backed approach to every patient interaction.
Real feedback from real patients who got back to the activities and lifestyle they love.
"After months of chronic back pain, Dr. Naqvi helped me understand the root cause and gave me a clear plan. I'm running again for the first time in over a year."
"The most thorough PT I've ever worked with. Noman actually listens and explains the why behind every exercise — not just the what."
"I was skeptical after seeing multiple PTs with zero improvement. Dr. Naqvi's approach was completely different — evidence-based, methodical, and it actually worked."
Everything you need to know before your first visit.
In California, you can see a physical therapist through direct access without a physician referral. However, some insurance plans may require one for coverage. We can help verify your specific benefits before your first visit.
Your initial evaluation is a comprehensive 60-minute session. Dr. Naqvi will assess your movement, discuss your medical history and goals, identify the root cause of your condition, and build a personalized treatment plan. Wear comfortable clothing you can move in.
Every case is different. Some patients see meaningful improvement in 4–6 sessions, while more complex conditions may take 8–12 weeks. Dr. Naqvi gives you a clear timeline and measurable goals from day one — no open-ended treatment plans.
Yes, most major insurance plans are accepted. We also offer competitive self-pay rates for those without coverage or who prefer out-of-network care. Contact us to verify your specific plan and benefits.
Three things: genuine one-on-one care (you work directly with Dr. Naqvi every session, never a tech or assistant), research-backed treatment protocols informed by his doctoral research, and a relentless focus on finding the root cause rather than chasing symptoms.
Yes. Virtual sessions are available for follow-ups, exercise programming, and certain evaluations. They're a great option for busy schedules or when you need guidance on your home exercise program between in-person visits.
