Anthem Blue Cross+7 moreI'm a physical therapist with 7 years of experience specializing in general orthopedics rehabilitation. I received my DPT from the University of Saint Augustine for Health Sciences and I am passionate about helping patients regain lost function, get stronger after injuries and understanding their bodies to get back to doing what they love. I have a strong background in exercise, collegiate track and field, volleyball and yoga. When I'm not in the clinic, you'll find me hiking, boxing, doing yoga and taking dance classes. As a former collegiate athlete and a PT who has gone through rehabilitation post ACL tear, I understand and try to incorporate tailored treatment plans that align with each patient's lifestyle and goals.

What is knee pain?
Knee pain can originate from the joint itself, surrounding muscles and tendons, or how forces travel through your leg when you move. Common conditions include patellofemoral pain (runner's knee), patellar tendinitis, meniscus tears, ligament sprains, and osteoarthritis. The knee is heavily influenced by hip and ankle mechanics, so effective treatment often addresses the entire chain.
Common symptoms
- Pain around or behind the kneecap
- Swelling or stiffness in the joint
- Pain going up or down stairs
- Catching, locking, or giving way
- Pain during or after running
- Difficulty fully bending or straightening the knee
- Grinding or popping sensations
- Pain after prolonged sitting
What causes knee pain?
Knee pain often results from overuse, muscle imbalances, or sudden increases in activity. Weak quadriceps, tight hip flexors, and poor landing mechanics are common contributing factors. Degenerative changes like osteoarthritis develop over time. Previous injuries, excess body weight, and certain sports increase risk.
How home visits help with knee pain
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 knee pain near El Segundo?
Yes. One of our licensed physical therapists who treats knee pain visits homes in El Segundo, along with nearby Inglewood. Visits are outpatient physical therapy, covered by Medicare Part B and major insurers, with no homebound requirement.
Do I need surgery?
Most knee pain does not require surgery. Physical therapy is the recommended first-line treatment for runner's knee, meniscus tears, and even mild-to-moderate arthritis.
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 El Segundo?
Yes. Our physical therapists visit homes in El Segundo and across greater Los Angeles, 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 greater Los Angeles. 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.
