As a soon-to-be certified Polestar Pilates Instructor, she aspires to utilize Pilates to empower patients to move and feel their very best.

She believes everybody and every body is an athlete. Whether you’re trying to get back to running, climbing, lifting weights, or playing with your kids, she’ll help you get there pain-free.
When she's not empowering patients, catch her roller skating through Golden Gate Park, foraging for urban treasures, or belting out tunes at karaoke.
DR. JORDAN PATTERSON, PT, DPT, CSCS
Jordan was born and raised in Southern California and moved up to the East Bay to pursue his Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland. His extensive experience as a youth athletics trainer and ergonomics associate for corporate America reinforced his innate affinity to help individuals through all walks of life to achieve their goals. Jordan calls upon his doctoral degree and his certification as a strength and conditioning specialist to deliver a holistic and individualized approach to each patient; encouraging active movement and collaboration throughout the entire journey.
The Bay area now has Jordan’s heart as he loves uncovering hidden gem food spots and exploring new places to enjoy the great culture and vibes. When he is not working, Jordan is an avid runner, backpacker/hiker, golfer and snowboarder in the winter. His dream is to backpack on each continent at least once.
What Jordan’s Patients Are Saying
“Jordan helped me get a better understanding of the lower back/hip pain that I was experiencing. After identifying that the pain was probably being caused by soft tissue and not joint or nerve pain, Jordan helped me tailor my approach to treatment. As a personal trainer myself, I appreciated Jordan’s insight into my injury. Today I’m back to squatting and deadlifting 200+ lbs pain free. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Thanks Jordan!” -Jon H.
DR. KEVIN FONG, PT, DPT, CSCS, CEAS
As a bay area native, Kevin strives to improve the health and well-being of those in the community that raised him. He’s been fortunate to help countless people with their rehab and recovery, including triathletes, semi-pro athletes, members of the San Francisco Ballet, Golden State Warriors, and San Francisco Giants organizations. However, what drives him the most is a deeply rooted passion for helping everyday individuals live everyday lives without pain.
Not to bore you with details, fast forward four years when Kevin received his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from University of St. Augustine, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2015. Additionally, he became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through NSCA in 2017 and Certified Office Ergonomics Specialist in 2020.
What Kevin’s Patients Are Saying
“Before Graspmore, I had been to 5-6 other PTs and none of them were able to help me the way Kevin has. He's clearly invested in seeing his clients succeed - every minute of every session is hands-on. He cares, listens, spends real time assessing what's happening. He's not just been able to reduce my pain levels, but also has been teaching me how to move better in the day-to-day, helping me understand the details of what's happening, and helping me adapt my routine so I can still stay active.” -Mary B.
BENNY CHEUNG, DPT
Benny Cheung is a Doctor of Physical Therapy who graduated from an accelerated program at University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences - San Marcos, CA. His clinical experience primarily focuses in general outpatient orthopedics. Through his experience, Benny has treated a variety of musculoskeletal conditions amongst both a young and older patient population. He also has extensive strength training and sport conditioning experience, both as a clinician and enthusiast.
This diverse experience has equipped him with the knowledge and skills to address the unique needs of patients at different stages of life. His commitment to his profession is complemented by a well-rounded personal life that includes cheering for Bay Area sports, outdoor adventures, weight lifting, and a love for food and cooking.
What Benny’s Patients Are Saying
“He took me through several diagnostic procedures, explaining his thought process the whole way through. I never felt lost as to what he was trying to do while we dialed in to the source of the issue. He seamlessly mixed manual therapy, exercises, interspersed with testing the same movement so I could feel how each type of therapy affected the injury. I walked away with a much more solid understanding of a very fresh injury, including a tentative diagnosis and places to stretch and strengthen.” -Renee K.
