 Dr. Ben Stein

Benjamin Stein, DPT, JD, is a IPNFA Certified Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Therapist training for 9 months at the Kaiser Vallejo PNF Hospital. PNF utilizes the body’s own proprioceptors within bones, joints, and muscles as internal stimuli to improve function and motor control through natural movement patterns rather than individual muscles. Incorporation of techniques with courses in Functional Manual Therapy have been effective at relieving muscle and fascial restriction to improve gait mechanics and core stability to optimize movement efficiency.

Ben enjoys using his past legal training to efficiently and effectively educate his patient about anatomy, biomechanics, and the nature of their condition so patients can better understand the process to make them better.
