Mona Kaur - Licensed Occupational Therapist and Founder
I’ve held many titles as a busy mom of two girls, 9 and 12 years old. From being a daughter, to a mother, and now to a business owner, what I enjoy most is seeing the excitement in my girls when they achieve a milestone, big or small. In fact, RehabGo, Inc. was founded on this very premise; helping individuals to see their abilities and providing a solution for functional sustainability.
Our abilities, as little or great as they may be, are the driving force that holds meaning and fulfillment in each and every one of us. This holds true for the toddler who takes pride in his 10 inch tall lego castle or the 99 year old retired school teacher battling Alzheimer’s disease, still managing to walk while looking at old pictures on the wall. I personally recognized my own abilities through exercise and movement in my late teens after struggling with weight. I attained a sense of purpose and validation of what I was capable of; the weight loss was just the added side effect.
​Since graduating from San Jose State University in 1999 with a degree in Occupational therapy and Psychology, I have seen this belief hold true in every aspect of my personal life as well as my career. With 20 years of experience as a licensed therapist and now a business owner, my practice has included working with geriatrics in adult day care programs, subacute rehab centers, acute care hospitals, Assisted and Independent communities, and as well as home health. While I found it fulfilling to help patients achieve their goals by attaining their greatest level of independence and mobility, I also found it frustrating to see the reoccurrence of falls and physical decline with this population. Patients did well during therapy, but once therapy stopped, they fell off track despite being given a prescribed home exercise program to follow. I knew that research and clinical data had shown over and over again that the key to aging in place is to maximize on our mental and physical abilities through consistency of exercise and movement.
Therefore along with my partner, Lori Yu RPT, we founded RehabGO with a vision to provide cost effective personalized exercise programs carried out by a RehabGO Coach on an ongoing basis. We were now able to deliver an opportunity for our clients to achieve sustainability of the functioning they had. Through evidenced based functional exercises designed by our licensed therapists, we are now able to offer on-going one on one coaching to our clients. RehabGO, Inc services further expand to providing comprehensive fall reduction programs in retirement communities as well and one on one coaching in homes. Thanks to modern medicine, seniors are living well into their 90s and even 100s. RehabGO is here to provide a tool that allows individuals to thrive and age in place. Recognize your abilities!

Daniel Hoang - My name is Daniel and I am currently a GO coach servicing San Mateo and Belmont communities. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Exercise and Movement Science from San Francisco State University. I was an athlete in high school and always had an interest in injuries and the process of rehabing after a big injury for athletes.
I come from a very traditional Asian family so our belief is to always take care of our parents and my goal going into this field was to help and improve my parent's life as they enter retirement age. I believe that any amount of exercise and ways to prevent injuries or joint problems is incredibly helpful and even if it's minimal, I want to help my parents move around more efficiently throughout their daily activities.

In her free time, you will find Cece lounging with her cats and napping in between her busy schedule. However when she gets the opportunity, her most enjoyable idea of free time would be a hot cup of tea and some yoga to pass the time.
