AboutOrange County Physical Therapy OCPT

Orange County Physical Therapy (OCPT) thrives on providing the most optimal results in the least amount of sessions possible. We accomplish this by having a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) assess your needs and develop a plan specific to your new or chronic condition. Each doctor is highly trained and educated on current and effective treatment procedures that produce faster results. This is why every treatment session is one on one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT).

We focus each physical therapy treatment on listening to your concerns to discover the underling cause to why you are experiencing pain and/or difficulty with your daily activities. Each treatment session is specified to improve pain, limitations, and to achieve the best outcomes for your goals.

In addition to treating patients, Victor spends time building knowledge, both in Physical Therapy and related subjects such as sporting articles, food and diet recipes and new findings on techniques and strategies to continually advance his practice. This gives him the capacity and intuition to make clinical judgments and treatments to help specific clients when needed.

Victor not only shares his passion, knowledge, experience with his clients – he empathizes and relates due to his love for the outdoors and sports. He is an athlete himself and lives a very active lifestyle, including cycling, running, golfing and tennis. A lot of what his clients suffer from, he may have gone through himself and knows what it takes to get through the aches and pains to be able to avoid surgeries, injections or invasive procedures. He practices a holistic rehab process/approach daily, which is what he wants to teach and promote to his clients.

He and his wife, Janet, are committed to making OCPT a clinic based around helping others better themselves in regaining their everyday lives back.

Shannon, Personal Trainer

Shannon grew up in Dallas, Texas, and earned her B.S. in Kinesiology with a minor in Psychology from the University of North Texas in 1995. She moved to Southern California in 1998 and is grateful to call it home. While passionate about psychology, she quickly realized an office job wasn’t for her. Her background in psychology, however, became invaluable in her career as a personal trainer, reinforcing her belief that mental health is just as important as physical health.

With a lifelong passion for dance, gymnastics, and soccer, Shannon thrives on setting and achieving personal goals. She loves helping others and found the fitness, health, and wellness industry to be the perfect fit. Early in her career, she was featured in a Kathy Smith aerobics video and served as the Fox 4 Fitness Expert on Good Day Dallas. She has worked with a wide range of clients, from athletes to those focused on improving mobility, flexibility, and overall quality of life. Shannon believes in training based on ability, not age, and lives by the motto: “The only person standing in your way is YOU!”

Outside of work, Shannon is an adrenaline junkie who enjoys snowboarding and skydiving. A diehard Dallas Cowboys fan, she also loves relaxing at the beach, spending time with her teenage son, and playing with her Goldendoodle, Coco, and her cat, Bootsie.
