Dr. Ben Bagge, PT, DPT, CSCS specializes in bridging the gap between rehabilitation and sports performance by providing performance based physical therapy that allows athletes and active individuals to get back to activities they love while avoiding injections, pain medication, and surgery.
Ben is a physical therapist, certified strength and conditioning specialist, and also a USA weightlifting coach. Ben received his bachelor's degree in Kinesiology from the University of Northern Iowa where he then went on to receive his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Clarke University in Dubuque, Iowa. Ben recognized quickly upon entering graduate school for physical therapy that there was, and continues to be, a large gap between rehabilitation and returning to fitness activities.Pro+Kinetix was created to change the landscape of physical therapy by taking a modern, personalized approach. The current trend is that many physical therapy clinics are now requiring their physical therapists to see multiple patients at once.
Dr. Ben, the founder, decided he could no longer watch patients slow down their recovery time in large physical therapy "mills". He knew his patient's deserved better and therefore, he founded Pro+Kinetix.
The Pro+Kinetix difference: We heal your injury or chronic issue, address the biomechanical root cause, bulletproof your body to prevent recurrence, & allow you to attain your athletic aspirations.
We're different because we're BOTH Doctors of Physical Therapy AND Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialists (a requirement for all pro sports trainers). And typically in just 5 to 10, once a week sessions, handled exclusively by Doctors of Physical Therapy (not assistants), we take you to whole new level.

I tweaked my knee... and I figured it would just get better on its own. Fast forward almost a year, and I realized I had to treat this differently. I came to Dr. Jose, and my goal was to run the marathon that I'd signed up for 9 months earlier. Looking back, I was so focused on that one race that I couldn't see the bigger picture. Dr. Jose helped me realize this wasn't a realistic goal based on where I was – and honestly, hearing that from a professional was exactly what I needed. He started slow and answered all my questions. (Imagine that? A real person assessing me and telling me what I really needed instead of random internet videos?!) From there, we built up week by week. After 10 weeks with Dr. Jose, I'm improving, not declining. Now I'm getting back to running, climbing, biking... living my life! I can't recommend Dr. Jose enough. He's kind, knowledgeable super communicative, and patient, but he also pushes you when you need it. If you see more people jogging around Oakland these days, it's because Dr. Jose has gotten us back to running!
I dealt with recurring knee pain for about 2 years before finally coming to Pro+Kinetix. I'd been diagnosed with runner's knee by my primary care doctor and tried the "Knees over Toes Guy" workouts, which helped temporarily, but the pain always came back. I kept thinking I just needed to push through and do more exercises on my own, but nothing was truly working. When I saw Pro+Kinetix's Instagram ad for a discounted evaluation, I figured it was worth getting a proper diagnosis at the very least. That first session with Dr. Lorraine changed everything. She asked all the right questions, did a thorough physical inspection, and even conducted a running evaluation. She was able to correctly diagnose what was actually wrong, something my primary care doctors hadn't figured out. She identified specific muscle stability issues that were causing my pain and prescribed exercises tailored to my ability level that I could do with minimal discomfort. What really stood out was how Lorraine took the time to understand how I learn and adjusted her coaching style accordingly. She was incredibly encouraging and always made sure I understood everything, asking if I had questions and taking extra time when needed. The space itself is great too, spacious with excellent equipment. I followed the exercise plan (3x per week), and week over week, my knee pain started disappearing. Now I'm running completely pain-free and have exercises to continue with for lifelong running health. I no longer deal with daily knee pain and can run and hike without worry. If you're skeptical about PT or have tried other things that didn't work, I'd say give it an honest shot here. Really commit to the process, and it will pay off. I'm so grateful to be back doing what I love!
After a freak knee injury during an overly enthusiastic jerking session at a club in Cabo dancing to Too Short "Blow the Whistle", I started working with Doctor Loraine for physical therapy. She’s been nothing short of amazing — funny, patient, and great at breaking down exercises in a way that actually makes sense. Honestly, sessions with her feel less like appointments and more like catching up with a very knowledgeable homie who also happens to be fixing my leg. Thanks to her, I’ve regained a ton of strength and feel super motivated to get back to both running and safely returning to jerking on the dance floor. 10/10 recommend.
