Kevin Mao

PT, DPT

Kevin, like most physical therapists, got hurt at an early age as an athlete in high school. Having gone through multiple shoulder dislocations and surgery, he had his fill of PT at a young age. Even though getting injured and having to have surgery was painful, he was curious about the fact that he actually “enjoyed going to PT”, because he was able to learn about his body in ways he was never taught! This curiosity drove him to study Kinesiology at Penn State University in 2008, and he finally graduated with his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Boston University in 2011.

He originally wanted to work with pro athletes and travel with sports teams, but after several years of clinical practice, Kevin actually found his true calling was to help the aging population, those 45+, stay healthy, active, and free of painkillers and unnecessary surgeries. He is passionate about being able to use his advanced knowledge of biomechanics, physiology and neurophysiology, to take complicated orthopedic problems and turn them into simple, easy to understand solutions.

He is a pure hands-on manual therapist, receiving elite mentorship working at one of the most prestigious orthopedic rehabilitation clinics in San Francisco. He has worked side by side with world class surgeons from Stanford, SOAR clinic, and professional/Olympic level athletes.

He has also dedicated his entire career to developing effective, efficient and challenging rehabilitative exercise programs, that have a PURE emphasis on safety, and creating body awareness. He has consulted with the world’s most renowned bio-mechanists and strength-physiology experts, and has brought years of knowledge gained from experts around the world to bring it to the people right here in Dublin.

In his spare time, he loves nothing more than to relax at home with his loving wife, step daughter, and in-laws. He is also an avid basketball, boxing, and mixed martial arts fan, enjoys fishing, fantasy basketball and strategic card games.

Thuy Lu

CMT

Thuy has over 10+ years of experience as a massage therapist. She graduated from Bryman College in 2008. She is proud to say she put herself through college with barely any financial help in order to follow her true passion, which was to explore the art of the “healing touch.” She is the true “secret weapon” of our clinic when it comes to body work and “body restoration.”

Don’t let her looks or stature fool you, Thuy specializes in deep tissue massage and trigger point release. She has an uncanny ability, unlike most massage therapists, to be able to “find the right spot” and be able to fully release it. But she also has a very unique ability to change her pressure and techniques on the fly, in order to fit what your body needs/tolerate.

If you are looking for an effective solution to alleviate stress from your body, get rid of tension from your back or shoulders, or if you are in need of some deep tissue work to recover from over-exercising and/or training, Thuy is known to have the “best hands in the Bay Area” when it comes to solving these problems.

When she is not busy perfecting her massage craft, Thuy is an expert Vietnamese-style chef having been trained by her mother. She loves nothing more than to spend time at home with her husband Kevin, and her daughter Destinee, along with her mother and father. In addition to being a full-time worker, she is also the true caretaker of her home and family in Tracy.
