Accepts Blue Shield of California

I 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.

Accepts Blue Shield of California

I'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.

Accepts Blue Shield of California

I’m a licensed physical therapist with 3 years of experience, and a proud graduate of California State University, Northridge. I’ve worked across a wide range of populations including outpatient orthopedics, sports rehab, vestibular therapy, post-operative rehab, and geriatrics, which allows me to tailor care to each individual and their unique goals. Through my mobile physical therapy practice, I provide personalized, one-on-one treatment in the comfort of your home or preferred space. I believe physical therapy should be convenient, effective, and built around real life—not rushed clinic visits. When I’m not working, you can find me spending time with my kids, golfing, or lifting weights—so I truly understand the importance of staying active and moving well at every stage of life.

Accepts Blue Shield of California

My name is Arek. I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy who specializes in orthopedic and sports-related injuries, with experience working with both active individuals and high-level athletes. I earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Southern California in 2020 and completed advanced orthopedic (2022) and sports (2024) physical therapy residencies through Adventist Health Glendale. My approach focuses on identifying the why behind your pain and creating a highly individualized plan to help you move better, feel stronger, and return to the activities you enjoy. I value clear communication, hands-on care, and progressive exercise, and I believe physical therapy should be collaborative, empowering, and tailored to you, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Accepts Blue Shield of California

I have been a physical therapist for more than 17 years and graduated from Northern Illinois University with a Master’s in Physical Therapy. My career has been spent primarily in outpatient orthopedics and chronic pain care, where I focus on a comprehensive, whole-person approach to treatment. I’m passionate about helping patients reduce pain, restore movement, and return to the activities that matter most to them. I enjoy partnering with each patient to understand their goals and create a plan that supports both recovery and long-term health. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, staying active in ministry, and taking advantage of all that San Diego has to offer.

Frequently asked questions

Is in-home physical therapy covered by Blue Shield of California?

Yes. We're in-network with Blue Shield of California, and we verify your benefits before the first visit so there are no surprise costs.

Do I need a referral to use Blue Shield of California for in-home physical therapy?

Most Blue Shield of California plans allow direct access to physical therapy. We check the plan's requirements when we verify benefits.

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.

Where do you visit?

Our physical therapists visit homes within about a 20-minute drive of where they're based, across greater Los Angeles. The best way to check 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.
