Pasadena Physical Therapy

Just in Case We have been formally closed since Tuesday, March 17, and as of today plan on remaining closed until April 30th. We are still serving our patients via virtual sessions.... We will notify everyone when we will be seeing patients in person again. In the meantime, please stay safe everyone. See more

In our continued efforts to minimize exposure and contact, we had been answering calls remotely. In doing so, we have determined that everyone seems to like text (SMS) messages better, so this is the BEST way to get a hold of us from your phone. You can still email [email protected] if you prefer email.

Between this course and the one we hosted 2 weekends ago, we just *might* be able to help you with that neck, jaw or head issue.... Connect with us or contact us to set up your Initial Evaluation or Discovery Visit today! #Repost @drlocrao 3rd Time is Quite the Charm My 3rd time hosting an FR Release seminar and my 3rd attending Spine proved to be quite the experience! It’s ALWAYS a great time listening to and learning from @drmchivers and hanging out with @coach_christinamarie and @a.loosemoose. It was also an absolute pleasure hanging out with @miggsybogues and @ashleypoladian for a few meals. Finally, I’m super proud that my crew at @pasadena_pt completed their FR Release trifectas - way to go @jschwartzdpt and @cmbenandi_dpt ! I don’t know if there’s any other way to say it - FR Release is the anatomy and manual therapy you should have learned or gotten in school! @functionalrangerelease

It was a pleasure and a privilege to host for a wonderful institute for a bunch of wonderful professionals who are looking for more principles, concepts and tools to help their patients and clients! @posturalrestoration
