Ki Cheng | Founder & Physical Therapist

Dr. Ki Cheng is an experienced Doctor of Physical Therapy serving the physical therapy needs of the Bay Area. A life long athlete, he knows firsthand the joy of performance as well as the challenges of preventing and rehabilitating injuries. His own experiences of chronic pain affected his ability to participate in powerlifting and Crossfit. Years of self experimentation and study under various leaders of movement allowed him to recover and continue doing the things he loved, inspiring him to start a physical therapy clinic centered on personalized, patient-focused treatment. 

Ki has treated patients with a wide range of lived experiences – from spinal cord injuries to professional athletics. He values that no injury is the same and cares deeply about understanding each patient’s story. His approach is rooted in many domains: physiotherapy, dance/locomotion, yoga, gymnastics, and weightlifting. His treatments center on empowering his patients through the sharing of knowledge and skills that prevent future injuries and sustain long-term health and wellness.

Ki lives in Oakland with his wife Sarah and their cat Jonathan.

Dr. Krishan Bhakta earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) from Boston University and is passionate about serving the musculoskeletal health needs of the Bay Area community. A Bay Area native, Krishan’s journey took him to Los Angeles and Boston for the past decade, before returning back home.

As a lifelong athlete and sports enthusiast, Krishan’s passion for physical therapy is deeply personal. His interest in sports medicine was sparked after undergoing physical therapy for his own shoulder surgery and supporting his mother through her ankle rehabilitation. These experiences strengthened his commitment to helping others recover, move better, and thrive.

Krishan’s career gave him first-hand insight into the challenges of traditional healthcare—where patient care often takes a back seat to administrative demands. That’s why he joined Opus, where he can prioritize a patient-first approach. With Krishan, every session is personalized: he listens to what your body is telling you, assesses any movement limitations, and creates a treatment plan tailored to your individual goals and lifestyle.

Krishan stays close to his roots, enjoying time with family and friends. When he’s not working with patients, you can find him relishing a good round on the golf course!
