Inner-Action Sports Rehab

Hm, I thought I had reviewed Dr. Rudy Gutierrez. I guess I didn’t but have meant to or thought I had already. :) So, yes he is professional, warm and takes his job seriously. He truly cares about you and I appreciate the warm up by Martel. The receptionist, Alex is really sweet and nice. Dr. G’s work is AWESOME! It’s a good kind of pain. Warning! It can be pretty painful so communicate with him. It’s about breaking down the muscles so that it repairs correctly and doesn’t pull your body out of whack… at least that’s my understanding of it. :) Happy healing everyone!!!

Rudy got me from excruciating pain to running a 50k in under 2 weeks. This man is a genius.

As others have noted, Dr. Gutierrez is outstanding. As a competitive runner, Rudy is a crucial component for my staying healthy and able to log in the miles day in and day out. I generally visit him for the usual wear and tear (sore hamstrings, muscles strains), but I’ve also visited him for more acute injuries. I’m always astounded at his ability to diagnose and literally make well troublesome areas. A big element of his practice is active release therapy (ART), an intense muscle/​soft tissue manipulation, to break up scar tissue, aid the body’s healing process, and help re-​balance muscle systems. Simply put, he is excellent at what he does. I am constantly recommending Rudy and his strong support team of massage and Pilates therapists to anyone in pain, sports related or otherwise.

Rudy always goes directly to the source of my misalignment and discomfort, and works me back into a more physically balanced place. Unlike most chiropractors, he focuses on the muscles and for that reason, the results are longer lasting. You don’t just go back to the way you were feeling within a day or two. I see him about once every two weeks so I don’t feel out of whack from my frequent workouts.
Also, I can tell that he treats his employees well. Bonus points for being a good guy.

I had chronic muscle soreness and knots and massages at random masseuses was not helping anymore. I got referred by a friend and this guy and the masseuse is awesome! Highly recommended!

Megan Brooks is a GREAT massage therapist. I was hesitant because I wanted a relaxing massage and it’s located inside a sports rehab business, but wow, the massage itself won me over. She’s not chatty during the massage (really important for me), and does a combination of stretching and massage that really hit all the right notes for my aching muscles. Highly recommend.

After I pulled a hamstring during a workout last December, my trainers recommended that I see Dr. Rudy Guiterrez. Using active release technique, Rudy lessened my pain within a day, and my hamstring continues to improve. Combining physical therapy and massage with chiropractic has been key, allowing me to continue working out, performing at my physical best. Rudy is indeed fantastic. Megan, my massage wonder woman, is also incredible, as is Josh. I highly recommend the Inner-​Action team.

Dr. Rudy Gutierrez is a rock star. I am an active 49 year-​old Registered Nurse who was referred to Rudy by my trainers at Oakland Adventure Boot Camp. Sparing you the details of my case, the bottom line is that Rudy was responsible for diagnosing and treating a complicated lower back pain problem, which confounded a number of MDs. Out of all the doctors I consulted (and there were many) Rudy was the one who nailed the diagnosis and encouraged me to follow a path of treatment which addressed the problem.
Rudy is one of the finest practitioners I have ever met: personable, intelligent, practical, enthusiastic, persistent, respectful, and an excellent listener. He is genuinely committed to helping his patients improve their lives. I am continuing to see Dr. Gutierrez and Megan Brooks (CMT) at Inner-​Action for «fine tuning,» but my back problem and associated pain are essentially gone. Megan’s massage therapy is an effective counterpart to Rudy’s ART treatments. Megan is excellent at what she does. She made a «massage believer» out of me, as I continue to improve under her care. If you want a chiropractor who will give you answers and real results, go see Rudy and the friendly, professional staff at Inner-​Action Sports Rehab.

Dr. Rudy Gutierrez has helped me and my friend, who recommended him to me, immensely. He comes with the highest credentials and is very current with his craft.
I had been to a terrible chiropractor, here in Alameda, who’s office should be shut down, and Dr. Gutierrez got me back in the proverbial saddle. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without him. A+++

Went to see Dr. Rudy based on a referral from my physiatrist. After masking excruciating shoulder and back pain from a car accident for over a year with liver-​damaging meds, I was taken off the meds and sent to Dr. Rudy. He truly changed my life. With his combination of movements, exercises, stretches, massage, etc. the pain is almost completely resolved and I feel SO MUCH BETTER!
He really knows what he’s doing and seems to love what he does. I will continue to see him for «maintenance» care and highly, highly recommend him.
