Golf Injury Specialist in San Ramon & Danville
You don't just want the pain gone. You want to get back to the course swinging freely — and swing better than before it started. That takes a physical therapist who understands the golf swing, not a generic rehab plan. Full-hour, one-on-one sessions with Dr. Bhakta, DPT, TPI Certified.
Nova treats golfers differently
Every plan starts with a full assessment that includes how you move through the golf swing — not just where it hurts. As a TPI Certified provider, Dr. Bhakta screens the mobility and stability the swing actually demands, then connects what he finds to your injury and your game.

no aides, no handoffs, no being passed to a tech while he sees three other people.
