Keeping your dreams alive.

In most cases, no. Under California's direct access law (AB 1000), a licensed physical therapist can evaluate and treat you without a physician's referral for up to 45 calendar days or 12 visits, whichever comes first. After that, continued care needs a referral and a signed plan of care from your physician. Medicare patients are the exception and do need a referral. Because 805 PT is cash-pay, you can simply reach out and get started. Read our full guide to direct access in California.

A one-on-one visit is $225 for the initial evaluation (about an hour) and $175 for a follow-up (55 minutes), with multi-session packages at $125–150 per session. You pay at the time of service — cash-pay and out-of-network — and you get my full, undivided attention the whole visit, no aides. I also provide a superbill you can submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement. See full rates.

Your first visit is a thorough, one-on-one evaluation: your history and goals, a hands-on movement and strength exam, and then we begin a personalized treatment plan the same day. Plan on about an hour — just the two of us. See what to expect on your first visit.

Orthopedic and sports injuries, post-surgical recovery, overuse and nagging aches, running-related pain, and shoulder and arm care — for active adults and youth athletes. As a board-certified orthopedic clinical specialist (OCS) with nearly 30 years of experience, my focus is getting you back to what you love doing. Explore services.

No — I'm cash-pay and out-of-network, so I don't bill insurance. That means more time and focus on you. I provide a superbill you submit to your insurer yourself for possible reimbursement.

It means I don't bill insurance directly. You pay at the time of service, and I provide a superbill — an itemized receipt — that you can submit to your insurer yourself for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Staying cash-pay is what keeps every visit one-on-one.

You work directly with me for the entire visit — no techs, no aides, and no being passed around between exercises. Staying cash-pay and out-of-network is what makes that level of time and attention possible, and most people reach their goals in fewer visits than at a high-volume insurance clinic.

It depends on your goals and how your body responds, but because every visit is focused, hands-on time with me, most people need fewer sessions than at a busy insurance-based clinic. I'll give you an honest estimate after your evaluation and adjust as you progress.

BFR uses the gold-standard Delfi device to help you safely build strength with much lighter loads by briefly limiting blood flow to a working limb — useful when heavy lifting isn't an option yet, such as early after surgery or an injury. I often work it into your regular sessions. Learn more about BFR.

Yes. I work with active adults, runners, and youth athletes — including programs for ages 9–13 like the Youth Movement Lab and 805's Five Pillars of Arm Care — building strength, coordination, and resilience while protecting growing joints. See programs.
