Glinn & Giordano Physical Therapy

We all know our favorite physical therapy patients :-) #patientappreciation #physicaltherapy #kerncounty #bakersfield #ggpt

What is hand therapy? Our occupational therapist helps patients regain hand and upper extremity function by creating programs tailored to your specific injuries and occupations! Come see how we can help you!

Make sure and Incorporate the use of resistive bands in your exercise routine! Exercises that may seem simple are actually very important for protecting some of your joints, especially exercises for the rotator cuff. These muscles tend to wear out faster then others with age but with the right attention and care you can keep your shoulder healthy even as you gain more life experience :-)

Does it hurt to exercise? Try water! Our Aquatrex uses the power of water to help aid you in both mobility and function!

We want to let you know that we are currently open at all of our locations, working under CDC and best practice guidelines for the patient, employee, and community safety, and will continue to adapt specifically to meet our community's needs that require our services.
