Good to Know
New to physical therapy?
Two quick answers before you book your first visit.
What is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy helps you recover movement, strength, and confidence after pain, injury, or surgery, without relying on medication or unnecessary procedures. Your first visit is a full evaluation. From there, your therapist builds a plan of care around your specific goals, using hands-on treatment, targeted exercise, and education about your condition.
As you improve, the plan progresses with you until you're back to the activities that matter, whether that's your job, your sport, or keeping up with your family.
Who is a physical therapist?
At La Verne Physical Therapy, every physical therapist is a licensed movement expert holding a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. Earning that title takes a graduate degree in physical therapy, a national licensure exam, and training that continues throughout their careers.
Their job is to find the cause of your problem, treat it, and teach you how to keep it from coming back.
Conditions
Common reasons people come in
Tap a condition to learn more. Not sure whether physical therapy is right for your problem? Call and ask. We'll tell you honestly.
Low back pain
The most common reason people see a physical therapist. We find the movements that provoke your pain, calm it down, and rebuild a strong, confident back.
Neck pain & headaches
Neck stiffness often refers pain into the head and shoulder blade. Treatment combines hands-on care with posture and strengthening work.
Sciatica
Leg pain, numbness, or tingling from an irritated nerve in the low back. Most cases improve with guided movement and do not need surgery.
Rotator cuff & shoulder pain
From pinching with overhead reach to cuff tears and frozen shoulder. We restore mobility first, then rebuild strength.
Knee pain
Kneecap pain, meniscus irritation, tendon problems, and arthritis. Treatment targets the hip, knee, and ankle together.
Hip pain
Groin, buttock, or outer hip pain with walking, stairs, or sitting. We address mobility, strength, and how you load the joint.
Ankle sprains
Proper rehab restores balance and strength, and greatly lowers the chance of spraining the same ankle again.
Plantar heel pain
Sharp heel pain with your first steps, often called plantar fasciitis. Calf and foot strengthening plus footwear guidance gets you walking comfortably.
Tennis & golfer's elbow
Tendon overload at the elbow from gripping and repetitive work. Progressive loading is the proven fix.
Arthritis
Exercise is one of the best proven treatments for arthritic joints. We help you stay strong and active with less pain.
Post-operative rehab
Structured recovery after surgery, paced to your surgeon's protocol and your healing timeline.
Balance & dizziness
Vestibular and balance retraining for vertigo, unsteadiness, and fall prevention.
Sports injuries
From sprains and strains to overuse injuries. Criteria-based rehab gets you back to your sport with confidence.
Work & posture strain
Aches that build up over a workday. We treat the irritated tissue and fix the setup and habits that overload it.
What to expect
Three steps, no guesswork
You should leave the first visit knowing what's going on, what we're doing about it, and roughly how long it takes.
Call and get scheduled
Tell us what's bothering you and we'll find a time. We'll let you know what to bring, including any referral or imaging your plan requires.
Full evaluation
Movement, strength, and joint testing to find the actual driver of your symptoms. Then we walk you through the findings in plain language.
Treat, progress, discharge
Hands-on treatment plus a home program, retested regularly so progress is measured, not assumed.
Before you come in
Please allow 60 to 90 minutes for your initial evaluation (first visit) and 60 minutes for follow up visits. Arrive in comfortable workout attire or clothing you can easily do exercises in.
Services
How we help you move again
Every plan starts with a full evaluation. Treatment is matched to what your exam actually shows and progressed as you improve.
Lymphedema
Lymphedema management with manual lymphatic drainage, compression, and education to reduce swelling and keep it under control.
Sport Rehabilitation
Testing and criteria-based progression to get you back to your sport after sprains, strains, tendinopathy, and athletic injuries.
Post Operative
Structured recovery after joint replacement, arthroscopy, and ligament or rotator cuff repair, following your surgeon's protocol.
Vertigo
Vestibular rehabilitation for dizziness and BPPV, including repositioning treatment and gaze-stability retraining.
Balance
Balance testing, gait training, and progressive strengthening for fall prevention and confident walking.
Weakness / Deconditioning
Rebuilding strength and stamina after illness, hospitalization, or time away from activity, with a paced program that restores endurance and confidence.
General Orthopedics
Treatment for neck, back, shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle pain using hands-on care, graded loading, and strength progression.
Injury Prevention
Movement screening and targeted strengthening that finds weak links before they become injuries.
Workers' Compensation
Work conditioning and injured worker rehab with the documentation your claim requires.
Personal Injury (Liens)
Physical therapy for personal injury and attorney lien cases, with the records and communication your case requires.
Pilates
Functional Pilates sessions that build core control, flexibility, and posture, a natural bridge from rehab to fitness.
Gym Program
A supervised gym program so you can keep training on our equipment after formal therapy ends.
Wellness Programs
Individualized wellness plans focused on strength, mobility, and long-term health. No injury required.
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR)
Build strength at light loads using controlled cuff pressure. Ideal when a joint or surgical repair can't yet tolerate heavy lifting.
BlazePods
Light-based reaction training that sharpens agility, speed, and decision making. A favorite tool for testing readiness to return to sport.
Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound used alongside exercise to promote tissue healing and calm pain.
Manual Therapy
Hands-on joint mobilization, soft tissue work, and stretching from your therapist, a cornerstone of every plan of care.
Tidal Tanks
Water-filled tanks whose shifting load challenges your core and balance, building functional strength you can't get from a fixed weight.
