Many of our providers specialize in working with patients with musculoskeletal injuries of the extremities, spine problems, chronic pain, hemophilia, injured athletes, injured workers, and patients with neurological insults and degenerative conditions. Practice providers also perform ergonomic evaluations at the work site. All providers adhere to the Ethical Code of Conduct and Standards of Practice of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and to UCSF Medical Staff bylaws, and conform to the scope of practice and licensure laws and regulations for physical therapy practice in California.
Patients may access adult and pediatric therapy services by referral from another health provider (usually a physician).
