Licensed Physical Therapist and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist
What To Expect From Our Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services are designed to combine expert knowledge and tools that will help you overcome pain and injuries via a deep understanding of your problem and providing you with the tools to solve it. **This is NOT the physical therapy where you just sit with a hot pack, electrodes, transfer to work with a tech or assistant or just rely on some machine to ‘heal’ you**. True physical therapy is an active participation of both parties—the practitioner and the patient—and this is what we do here.
We dive deep to understand your story and complete a comprehensive exam so you know exactly what’s going on, and then we discuss strategies to help you recover. We look at and analyze your movement, your patterns, and put advanced knowledge in anatomy & physiology, biomechanics, and exercise science into an individualized recovery plan for you. Part of the tools we use to help you treat your injury and pain are behavioral/pattern change, manual therapy (including other soft tissue techniques like cupping/massage, etc.), and specific exercises that will target both the specific tissue and consider the whole kinetic chain that may influence it.

Unlike traditional insurance-based clinics where you get passed to a tech or double-booked with other patients, you get 55 minutes of dedicated 1-on-1 care with Carmel Ofir (Licensed PT & CSCS) in a private, high-end gym. Because of this undivided focus, our patients typically recover in fewer visits, saving you time and overall cost.
-
Our rates range from 150 to 180 per session. We accept all major credit cards as well as HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) cards, allowing you to pay for your care using pre-tax healthcare dollars.
-
All sessions are 55 minutes of direct, 1-on-1 contact time with Carmel Ofir. There are no assistants, no techs, and no double-booking. Your session will be an active combination of movement analysis, hands-on manual therapy, and target strength/conditioning inside our private gym.
-
No, you do not. Under California direct-access laws, you can be evaluated and treated by a licensed physical therapist for up to 12 visits or 45 days (whichever comes first) without a physician's referral or prescription. This means we can start working on getting you out of pain immediately
-
Because of our undivided 1-on-1 model, our patients typically recover in significantly fewer visits than standard clinics. During your initial movement evaluation, we will perform a comprehensive exam and map out an exact recovery timeline based on your specific tissue healing rate and goals.
