Anthem Blue Cross+8 moreI earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of St. Augustine in 2017. I am passionate about helping patients stay active, safe, and independent. I specialize in working with adults in their homes, focusing on helping individuals recover from injuries or surgery, improve strength, and enhance balance. My goal is to support each patient in safely returning to the activities that matter most to them. I believe that personalized, one-on-one care in the home environment leads to meaningful progress and an improved quality of life.

What is arthritis?
Arthritis is inflammation of one or more joints, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Osteoarthritis — the most common form — is caused by wear and tear on the joint cartilage over time. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that attacks the joint lining. Both types respond well to exercise-based physical therapy, which is recommended as a first-line treatment before considering surgery or long-term medication.
Common symptoms
- Joint pain that worsens with activity
- Morning stiffness lasting 30+ minutes
- Swelling or tenderness around joints
- Reduced range of motion
- Grinding or cracking sensations
- Joint deformity over time
- Weakness around affected joints
- Pain that affects sleep or daily activities
What causes arthritis?
Osteoarthritis develops from years of joint use, previous injuries, obesity, and genetic factors. The cartilage that cushions the joint gradually breaks down, leading to bone-on-bone contact. Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by the immune system attacking healthy joint tissue. Regardless of type, inactivity and muscle weakness accelerate the progression of symptoms.
How home visits help with arthritis
Evaluation at home.The first visit is a full evaluation in the patient's home. The physical therapist asks about the history and goals, watches how the patient moves in the rooms they live in, and builds a plan of care.
Treatment where it happens. Visits follow that plan: hands-on treatment where it helps, and exercises taught with the furniture, stairs, and floors the patient uses every day.
The doctor stays in the loop.The plan of care goes to the patient's doctor, with progress notes as therapy continues, and follow-up visits run until the goals in the plan are met.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a physical therapist for arthritis near Buena Creek?
Yes. One of our licensed physical therapists who treats arthritis visits homes in Buena Creek. Visits are outpatient physical therapy, covered by Medicare Part B and major insurers, with no homebound requirement.
Will exercise make my arthritis worse?
No. The right exercises actually reduce arthritis pain and slow joint deterioration. Your PT selects exercises that strengthen without aggravating your joints.
Do I need a joint replacement?
Many people with arthritis manage well with physical therapy alone. If your symptoms are severe, your PT can help you understand when surgical consultation makes sense.
Is this covered by insurance?
Yes. Spark is in-network with Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Anthem, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, and more.
Is in-home physical therapy covered by Medicare?
Yes. In-home visits are covered by Medicare Part B. We're also in-network with Blue Shield, Anthem, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Humana, and other major plans, and we verify your benefits before the first visit so there are no surprise costs.
Will I see the same physical therapist each visit?
Yes. You're matched with a licensed physical therapist for your evaluation and every follow-up visit on the same plan of care.
Do you visit homes in Buena Creek?
Yes. Our physical therapists visit homes in Buena Creek and across San Diego County, within about a 20-minute drive of where they're based. The best way to check your address is to get started and enter your ZIP code.
Is this the same as home health?
No. This is outpatient physical therapy that happens in your home, covered by Medicare Part B. Home health is a different Medicare benefit for people who are homebound, and it usually comes with nursing and other services. You don't need to be homebound to see us.
Can I see you while I'm getting home health care?
Not at the same time. Medicare doesn't cover outpatient Part B therapy while you're in a home health episode. Once your home health care ends, we can start. If you're not sure, ask us and we'll check.
Do I get to choose my physical therapist?
Yes. We have physical therapists across San Diego County. You can learn about each one and request a visit with the one you want.
Do you accept my supplement plan?
Yes, we accept most Medicare supplement and secondary plans. When you book, we check your coverage in real time.
I've already reached the Medicare therapy limit. Can I still be seen?
Yes. Medicare covers therapy past that amount when it's medically necessary. Your physical therapist's evaluation and work with your doctor decide whether your care qualifies.
Can I pay cash?
For services Medicare doesn't cover, like wellness and fitness sessions, yes. Your physical therapist can talk through what that looks like, and we'll ask you to sign a Medicare notice (an ABN) before any service Medicare may not pay for.
Can you work with my family member or caregiver?
Yes. Your family member or caregiver can coordinate your care and be our go-to person. They can book for you on our page for caregivers.
