OUR STORY
Have you ever had terrible PT experiences like below:
“My previous PT left me to aides right after 10 minutes of ‘rubbing’ on my back…”
“I was told that they could not treat multiple body parts because of my referral…”
“Today is therapist A, tomorrow is therapist B, and C, D.. so and so… there is no consistent care!”
“My treatment time is only 30 minutes due to the limited coverage I have…”
“I used up all available visits so I can no longer come back for the treatment…”
“I cannot have PT session because my physical complains are not medically necessary based on insurance company’s judgment… But I want to improve how I move…”
Those unethical PT practices only care about insurance companies and not you. Due to the poor quality of care, you ended up consuming more time but still left with the same symptoms.
We are sick of it. We want to be your last stop shop for your physical health. This is why Combat Athletes Physical Therapy was born. For your faster recovery, better performance, and future injury prevention, we are committed to helping you achieve your goals.

Why do you choose us? How different are we?

We analyze and improve
We analyze your entire movement and improve biomechanics/kinetic chain by creating a permanent change of movement. Most of time, pain is a resultant of dysfunction of other body parts. This is why we do not focus on only one body part to treat. We are different from PTs who only look at referral orders and one body part but not you.

We move and prove
We exercise, enjoy sports, and practice martial arts. We know movements academically but we also perform the movements to understand your issues physically. However, most importantly, we prove the power of physical therapy and exercise by actually practicing it ourselves. We are not PTs who call themselves sports PTs but don’t exercise.

We assess and educate
Unlike many other PT clinics where hire aides who support your exercises but cannot assess your movements, our PT session is always one-on-one treatment with a doctor of physical therapist to constantly assess your specific motions. With our profound knowledge regarding movements, we provide you comprehensive, individualized physical education with the assessment.

We specialize and exceed
Our therapists have unique skill sets that other PTs usually do not possess, such as manual therapy, vestibular, concussion rehabilitation, and acupuncture. With these specialized skills, we exceed what other PTs can do for your specific needs and optimal care at any phase of injury.
