Ian Abugayda, the heart and hands behind Peak Active Care, brings over 25 years of expertise in the health and exercise field. From strength coaching to advanced manual therapies, Ian's journey has been shaped by both professional mastery and personal resilience. Having recovered from multiple sports related injuries himself—including knee, spine, hand, shoulder, and even eye trauma—Ian understands the frustration and complexity of healing on a deeply personal level. This firsthand experience isn't just part of his story; it's the foundation of his practice.

What Clients Say

Vicki B.

I have had this Yelp review tab open on my computer for a couple weeks now. Each time I go to write something about Ian, it feels hollow, like my words have no possibility of sufficiently expressing Ian importance and positive influence on my life and well being. Five stars just doesn't seem enough. Yes, Ian is knowledgable about a myriad of modalities, understands the biomechanics of the body like nobody else I've met, and gets immediate results for pain relief, but that's not what makes him special. It's his heart, his genuine desire to help his clients live a pain-free and well-balanced life. That's what makes him one of a kind. You combine that kind of character together with an innovate, cutting-edge machine like the Vaspsar, and you've got everything you'd ever need in a healer. I drive from SF twice a week to come see him and work out on the amazing Vaspar machine, and it's worth it every single time. Simply put: Ian is the best. Period.
