Claire is a revered expert in her field. I refer all my clients to her knowing they will get the best care available. Her ability to address complex issues related to foot function is what originally brought me to Claire but her specialty spans the entire kinetic chain. Her knowledge in these areas is unparalleled and her approach is always thoughtful and thorough. I have had the privilege of learning from Claire and her insightfulness adds tremendous value to my own practice. Thank you Claire, you are an inspiration!

I have seen many physical therapists over my 10+ years as an athlete. Claire is one of the most knowledge people I have ever met. She is very thorough, and thinks critically in her assessment and treatment of the underlying issue. I have been very impressed by my sessions with Claire and appreciate her expertise and that she takes the entire appointment to work with me (not hand me off to an aid). I would highly recommend Activate Physical Therapy & Wellness to anyone who wants to work with an expert PT and experience a thorough one-on-one treatment. It's rare to find someone so knowledgable and willing to dedicate so much time to help me feel better as an athlete!

Very pleased with progress my leg has seen after only one visit with Claire. I came in after a series of recurring left leg knee/calf/ankle injuries.

Claire gave me 3 gait corrections that immediately reduced both the frequency and severity of my Achilles cord pain when walking (post calf-tear) by over 90%.

I feel confident that the strengthening exercises and form instruction I've been given will get me back to running and playing sports safely. Will be highly recommending Activate Physical Therapy to my sporty friends in Marin.

Being injured is never fun. Having recurring injuries is down right depressing. If you need physical therapy for any reason, you want a PT who is dedicated, educated beyond just the degree, experienced and personalized to get you on the road to recovery and see you through till the end. Claire Bernard Miller at Activate Physical Therapy is that Doctor. Her goal is to give you the tools you need to recover, heal, achieve your goals as an athlete or just be well in general. If you want a real path to healthy movement, strength, injury recovery, injury prevention and body maintenance, Activate is the place. Claire is empathetic, actually listens and then curates personalized therapies using feedback rather than blanket approaches that may not be working for that patient. This flexibility is such a breath of fresh air and one of the keys to the success I’ve experienced in my journey w PT at Activate. PT can be difficult but with Dr Miller’s graceful and effective approach, it made this process a joyful and triumphant return to activity for me. Thank you Activate Physical Therapy and Wellness.

At 71, I’ve had foot issues for decades (including multiple surgeries) that negatively effected my balance. Claire helped me get to the bottom of it and finally improve my balance and overall health. While she may focus on younger athletes, she is also very wonderful to work with as an older non-athlete. Really recommend seeing her.

Claire got my post surgical hip stronger, better than it had ever been before. She continues to be our favorite resource for helping us to loosen and strengthen. She’s given us spot on tools for staying well and preventing injury. I’m ever thankful for her wise approach to healing injuries and improving performance.

Claire is a world class PT. She asks the right questions, listens, has a gentle touch, and provides custom exercises based on your needs. What I’m most grateful for is that she collaborated with me to come up with exercises that I will ACTUALLY do each day to address my knee pain of 5+ years. I’m already feeling better and look forward to running again in the near future.
