About Barbell Physical Therapy
“Barbell Physical Therapy was born through passion and desire to provide better care.”
YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD PHYSICAL THERAPY TEAM
I started Barbell Physical Therapy in 2019 while working for an outpatient clinic that required me to treat 4 patients per hour routinely. While I love human movement, fitness, health and all things Physical Therapy, I also love helping people. Unfortunately, that type of business model deteriorated both my health and my ability to effectively treat patients to the best of my abilities. It also led to subpar outcomes for patients.
Barbell Physical Therapy was born through passion and desire to provide better care. To me, it is important to treat the client as a whole, and that requires time and attention – something that is rare in the traditional PT business model.
Earning my Doctorate from Chapman University was just a stepping stone to providing that care to my clients. I’ve been in the PT and fitness industry for over 10 years while being a competitive athlete and dedicated weightlifter. Through extensive experience and studies, I’ve learned the complexities of the mental and physical aspects of human movement and rehab, and I’ve been dedicated to providing my expertise to you.
Emily joined the team in 2022 and upholds the core values and level of care that Barbell Physical Therapy is known for. Prior to becoming a PTA, Emily worked in the corporate world for nearly 10 years with tremendous success but decided to follow her passion in healthcare. She’s always been fascinated with how the human body works and being an athlete herself pursued a career in PT.
As a team, we serve the San Diego community with high-quality, individualized healthcare that you can trust.
