The Premium Care You Deserve

Philosophy of Care

Top Shelf Physical Therapy

At Top Shelf Physical Therapy, we believe in quality over compromise—for our patients, our community, and the people we care for every day. By choosing a direct, out-of-network model, we remove the limitations set by insurance companies and keep our focus where it belongs: on you and your goals.

Every visit is a true one-on-one session with a Doctor of Physical Therapy who knows your story, understands where you’re coming from, and adapts care based on how your body responds—not a preset template.

Physical Therapy, Done Differently

Physical Therapy begins with a thorough 90-minute evaluation, followed by 60-minute one-on-one sessions that evolve as you progress. Care is never rushed, delegated, or diluted. Every session is intentional, personalized, and rooted in clinical expertise.

Our approach follows a simple but effective framework:

Reset pain and sensitivity
Reprogram movement and control
Reload strength, confidence, and capacity

This process ensures that improvements aren’t just temporary, but meaningful and durable in real life.

From Recovery to Long-Term Results

As pain resolves and movement improves we transition patients into the reload phase, once this occurs many patients choose to continue their progress through Elevated Performance Training. This allows us to seamlessly transition from rehabilitation into strength, capacity, and long-term resilience—helping you not just feel better, but stay better.

Reset creates opportunity > Reprogram creates change > Reload creates durability = Results

Our Commitment

Above all, we value transparency, trust, and genuine relationships. You’ll always receive clear communication, straightforward pricing, and care rooted in expertise and intention. Pain or injury may feel like a setback—but we’re here to help you turn it into a comeback.

What to Expect

We look forward to working with you. At Top Shelf Physical Therapy, we pride ourselves on providing premium care complete with a direct-to-patient experience that guides you from assessment to pain relief and all the way back to your peak performance.

100% money back guarantee for every session! This is unheard of in the traditional healthcare model, but we think this is something that instills confidence in the quality of our service. We can’t guarantee a specific result as this is dependent on not just our expertise, guidance, and care but also on your effort and specific conditions; however, we can guarantee you will have an elevated recovery experience.
At Top Shelf Physical Therapy, every appointment you schedule is reserved exclusively for a one-on-one session with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, ensuring undivided attention and a truly individualized experience.
As an out-of-network provider, we maintain control over the quality of care without the limitations set by insurance companies. This means we aren’t bound by insurance policies that might compromise your treatment. Instead, we offer a simplified and straightforward process.
Superbills will be provided upon request.—a detailed receipt of services rendered. You can submit this Superbill to your insurance provider to potentially receive reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits. This process keeps your options open for reimbursement while eliminating unexpected bills or hidden fees.
Our goal is to make high-quality care as accessible and seamless as possible, empowering you to focus on recovery without unnecessary financial surprises.
Your progress is our top priority, and we are committed to supporting you every step of the way. To ensure we can work together effectively toward your goals, we ask that you honor your appointment or provide at least 12 hours’ notice if you need to reschedule or cancel.
Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the therapists' day that could have been filled by another patient. As such, we require 12 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Patients who provide less than 12 hours notice (late cancel), or miss their appointment, will be charged a cancellation fee to the card on file.
- 1st late cancel or no show= 0% fee
- 2nd late cancel or no show= 50% fee
- 3rd late cancel or no show= 100%
By showing up and committing to your sessions, you take an important step toward reaching your goals. In turn, we promise to deliver the highest level of care and support. Together, we can achieve great results.

Our People

(Patients/Clients)

Genevieve Sharp (OLY Champ/Personal Trainer)

“Dan is my go-to Physical Therapist in Los Gatos! I initially went to him looking to find a solution to my chronic back pain in Olympic Weightlifting. His evaluation was exceptionally thorough, testing the muscle strengths of my hamstrings, quads etc., and the degree of tilt on my spine. As well as much more that I couldn’t even try to explain.
He gave me an incredibly well informed Physical Therapy routine that helped strengthen me back to weightlifting. Not to mention, I went to multiple other Physical Therapist in the area and most were clueless of what to do.
After a year of back pain in Weightlifting and taking off 4 months; Dan has helped me not only get back to where I was but also emotionally guide me through the grueling process of taking time off from a sport you love. I could not recommend Dan enough. He is the sweetest most down to Earth person you will ever meet.”
Anton Viera (Pro Rugby Player)

“Can’t help Daniel enough! As a collegiate rugby player entering the draft right off of knee reconstructive surgery, Daniel mapped out a whole recovery and rehab timeline for me. He helped me comeback a better athlete and person, and ultimately helped me succeed at the pro level. Can’t recommend Daniel enough, he’s one of the few PT’s that truly understands the needs of a high level athlete.”
Matthew Navarro (Gymnast)

“I honestly don’t know where I’d be without Dan. He’s helped me through more injuries than I can count, each one different, and always knew exactly what I needed to get back on track.
What sets him apart is how personal and knowledgeable he makes the whole process. You’re never just another patient to him. He takes the time to get to know you and your goals, explains how your body works, and builds a plan that fits you.
Whether I was dealing with knee injuries or elbow recovery, Dan was always right there with the right game plan. I’ve never felt more confident or cared for in my recovery than when working with him. He’s not just good at what he does; he is why I still do what I love.”
Erika Mattson (Motocross Athlete)

“Dr. Daniel has provided me with an excellent start to my healing process after ankle surgery and we are only halfway through. On extremely short notice, he was willing to make time for me, which is essential for healing properly without having to wait months to get an appointment elsewhere.
I love the facility's location, and there's a gym! The stressful process of healing and finding the right fit has been eased, thanks to Dr. Daniel. He is not only personable but also a true professional in his field, just like everyone else in the facility. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of care.”
Aidan Christopher Keenan (Pitcher)

“I had an amazing experience with Daniel. He is incredibly knowledgeable about anatomy, muscle function, and the science behind rehabilitation. He always explained everything he was doing in detail and made sure I not only understood my injury, but also made sure I understood my treatment plan. After every session I felt better and confident with the exercises he prescribed.”
Anneliese Kniskern (Level 9 Gymnast)

“I am a high level athlete who has worked with Dan for 2 years through multiple injuries. He has always helped me by giving me exercises to do at home, and explains every injury in simple terms so I am able to understand. He is very kind and nice, and it is always my favorite part of the week when I get to go to a session with him. I’m so grateful for him helping me and I couldn’t ask for a better PT!”
Emily Kurutz (Runner/Supermom)

“Dan is an incredible PT/strength coach! I had meniscus repair last year and tried PT through a bigger company. It was very disappointing, which lead me to Dan. What a difference! He is a wealth of knowledge and doesn't simply address the injury, but also the person as a whole. He was always flexible to work with my requests, and never pushed anything. His approach gave me so much more confidence to get back to running, since there is a big mental part to recovery. He is definitely worth your time and money!”
Isaiah Castro (Ice Hockey Player)

“Was having sharp pain in my right hip flexor and had minimum range of motion. Got connected to Dr Dan and met with him briefly he checked my hip out gave me some exercises to do and they helped. Then we met at his clinic for a 90min session we did a lot of stuff and gave me some more stretches to do, did some tests, massages. Dr Dan is the real deal I’m back to using my right hip fully just after one week of taking time off.”
Osha Moloney (LGHS Basketball Player)

“I came to Dan with a lower back injury and left not only healed, but with a ton of knowledge of injury prevention and overall how to keep my body in good shape for basketball.
Dan is by far the most knowledgeable and friendly physical therapist I have worked with. His attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm and care for his patients is unmatched. It's no wonder why so many athletes I know trust dan with injury recovery and workouts as well. I would highly recommend working with Dan at Top Shelf Physical Therapy.”
Cael Stout (Pitcher)

“Had a great experience doing physical therapy here. Great facility as well with tons of exercise and rehab equipment.”
Blake Mordaunt (Student/Baller)

“Dan is a great physical therapist and he has really helped me out! He worked with me after my shoulder surgery and also helped my ankle get better. He knows what he is doing and is super knowledgeable.”
Ryan Carnevali (Pilot)

“I wish I could give Dan 10 stars. After struggling with chronic, life limiting pain from a back injury and not finding success at other PT clinics, I was referred to Dan. Dan gave me a personalized, fact based, and flexible approach to solving my problem and made me feel like it was achievable, and it was. Not only did Dan help me with my pain, he really gave me my life back. I will forever be grateful to Dan for that. This is the person you want on your team; to me, that is priceless.”
Amir Zaghi (Student/Wheelchair Basketball)

“I’ve been working with Dan for almost 10 years, starting physical therapy due to my cerebral palsy. I’ve seen a lot of therapists over the years, but Dan is by far the best. He feels like family to me.

He always gives top-quality care, and makes sure every session is tailored to what I need. When I tweaked my back playing wheelchair basketball, he helped me recover fast and safely.

Dan truly cares, and it shows.
At the end of the day, he’s truly the GOAT at what he does. that’s the best way to put it. I wouldn’t be where I am today without his help.”
Jayden Kwong (Football Player)

“I had a great experience working with Dr. Daniel. I’d been stuck with pain in my knee for months and immediately after working with Dr. Dan I saw tons of progress and was even able to return to playing sports after being out for a couple months. He is very knowledgeable, experienced, and thorough in his approach. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and made sure I felt confident with every step of the rehab process.
Thanks to his help, I’m back to doing what I love. I highly recommend Dr. Dan to anyone recovering from injury or looking to get back to peak performance.”
Trevor Uhm (Student/Gymnast)

“Dan has been a huge help with my recovery as a gymnast. I came in dealing with a bunch of lingering gymnastics injuries, and he always knew how to get me back on track. The exercises he gave me made perfect sense and helped me feel stronger and more confident in practice.

I’d definitely recommend Dan if you’re looking for someone who cares about your progress and really knows what they’re doing.”
Daniel Mommand (Trainer/Footballer)

“Dan is a life changer, not only is he knowledgeable but I can relate to him about anything. My body goes through a lot mentally, physically and emotionally. The days I see Dan I feel like a new person and I can get back to training harder.
Dan is the physical therapist everyone should have, he is a family man, he works hard and he is driven everyday to make someone’s life better.
Thank you for all your hard work, treatments and advice you have given me throughout the 5 years of coming to you.”
