Board Certified Physical Therapists at OSO Physical Therapy

Oso Physical Therapy started with a simple realization: Alameda deserves better than "standard" healthcare. Dan didn't want to build a clinic where you were just a chart number or a person being passed between assistants and aides. He wanted to create a home for the movers, the weekend warriors, and the people who refuse to let an injury keep them on the sidelines of their own lives.

Our Promise to You

When you walk through the doors of the Training Station to meet with Dan or Ben, you aren't just getting a Physical Therapist—you’re getting a partner who is personally invested in your comeback.

  • We Listen First: You know your body better than anyone. We start by hearing your story, your frustrations, what you've been doing and exactly what you’re dying to get back to doing.

  • We Bridge the Gap: We don’t just get you back to "walking without a limp." We aim bridge the gap between rehab and performance, making sure you’re stronger than you were before you got hurt.

  • We Are here to serve the Community: Our mission is to make Alameda the healthiest island in the Bay Area. Whether that means helping you finish your first 10k or simply playing with your grandkids without back pain, your goal is our mission.

Built for the Alameda Lifestyle

Dan knows the trails you run, the gyms you train in, and the unique energy of our island. We’ve combined our love for the Bay Area with our passion for strength training and Physical Therapy to give you a rehab experience that actually feels like progress.

You aren't just a " knee patient" to us—you’re a member of the Oso community. And we won’t stop until you’re back to doing what makes you feel most alive.

We are here to help.

Physical Therapy

Ben has spent the last decade working alongside Dan to provide high-level orthopedic care to the Bay Area community. He is Board Certified in Orthopedics (OCS) and shares Dan’s dedication to a patient-centered model that prioritizes service, excellence, and tangible outcomes. Ben’s clinical expertise is rooted in a deep understanding of musculoskeletal health, and he is particularly passionate about operating in an environment where care is dictated by the patient’s needs rather than the constraints of the insurance system.

Ben’s approach to therapy is informed by his own active lifestyle; he is a dedicated basketball player, runner, and weightlifter. Ben specializes in working with weightlifters, fitness enthusiasts, runners, throwers, and post operative ACL, achilles, hip, shoulder, lumbar and cervical spine patients. His personal connection to sport allows him to empathize with the challenges of injury and the drive to return to peak performance. When he isn’t in the clinic, Ben enjoys hiking, running, weightlifting and exploring the national parks with his family. He is excited to officially partner with Dan at OSO Physical Therapy, reuniting a professional team dedicated to providing the most effective sports and orthopedic care in the region.

An Alameda resident, Dan has been serving the East Bay as a Physical Therapist for the last 10 years, treating a diverse clientele and working closely with the area’s most preeminent orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine physicians. He is Board Certified in Orthopedics (2018), and has also performed extensive additional training in manual therapy, functional movement patterns, and exercise progression. Having gone through multiple surgeries and ensuing rehab processes himself, Dan recognizes just how crucial the relationship between surgeon, patient, and therapist is. His goal as founder of OSO Physical Therapy is to create the optimal treatment environment for patients: with an emphasis on collaborative multidisciplinary care performed outside of the confines of the insurance system.

In his free time Dan enjoys spending time with his wife and young twins, coaching soccer and basketball, running, surfing, and all things San Francisco 49ers, Giants, and Sacramento Kings related.
