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.
We have a variety of skill sets to provide you with to help meet your physical needs. Whether your goal is to return to a sport, activity, or improve daily pain experiences following an injury or surgery, we strive to expand your knowledge about your pain or injury and teach you how you can be an active participant in your recovery.
Live. Life. Now. : OCPT restores and promotes a healthy lifestyle by encouraging physical wellness to all its surrounding communities.
