Pardis Esmaeili

Hello and thanks for reading about me. I am a physical therapist (PT) in the San Francisco/Bay Area and my clinic space is located in Oakland, CA near the beautiful Lake Merritt. I offer general orthopedic PT and also specialize in pelvic floor physical therapy for all bodies including bodies healing after gender-affirming top or bottom surgeries. Having dealt with chronic pain since I was 15, I understand the immense impact injuries and pain can have not just on our bodies, but our minds, our relationships, and our lives. As a transman and Iranian immigrant, I am deeply familiar with the difficulties of entrusting a stranger with your body and well-being. That's why I don't take the privilege afforded to me as a provider lightly. Through trauma-informed, mindfulness-based practices, I work to develop a collaborative relationship with every client. I view everyone as the expert of their own body with an innate healing ability. As a movement and musculoskeletal expert, I see myself as a guide helping each client find their inner healer. I can't wait to help you find yours!
