Jean Pradel is a physical therapist who helps patients recover from injury, surgery, and chronic pain so they can get back to moving with confidence. Jean treats a broad range of orthopedic conditions, including low back and neck pain, sciatica, shoulder, hip, and knee pain, sprains and strains, and injuries from car accidents, work, and sports.

Every plan of care starts with a careful evaluation of how the patient moves, where the pain is coming from, and what is limiting daily activities. Treatment is built around clear, measurable goals and may include hands-on manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, stretching and mobility work, and functional training that prepares patients for the demands of work and home life.

Jean keeps patients informed and involved in their recovery, explaining what is happening at each stage and providing simple home exercises to keep progress going between visits. The goal is lasting results: less pain, better movement, and the confidence to stay active long after therapy ends.

Dr. Walter Luna is a Doctor of Physical Therapy who helps patients move better, hurt less, and get back to the activities that matter most to them. He treats a wide range of orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions, including neck and back pain, sciatica, shoulder and knee injuries, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation such as total knee and hip replacement recovery.

Dr. Luna works closely with patients recovering from car accidents and work-related injuries. Every plan of care starts with a thorough evaluation to find the root cause of pain and movement limitations, not just the symptoms. From there, he builds an individualized program that combines hands-on manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and functional training to reduce pain, restore strength and mobility, and prevent re-injury.

He believes in clear communication and patient education, making sure every patient understands their condition, their treatment plan, and what they can do at home to speed up recovery. His goal is for every patient to leave stronger, more confident, and ready to return to work, sport, and daily life.

Kristie Joseph is a physical therapist dedicated to helping patients recover from pain, injury, and surgery through personalized, hands-on care. She treats patients with back and neck pain, joint pain, sports and work injuries, injuries from car accidents, and balance or mobility problems, as well as patients rebuilding strength after orthopedic surgery.

Kristie begins every plan of care with a detailed evaluation of strength, flexibility, posture, and movement. From there, she designs a program built around each patient's personal goals, whether that's walking without pain, getting back to work, or returning to an active lifestyle. Her treatment combines manual therapy, targeted therapeutic exercise, and functional training, with progress tracked from visit to visit so patients can see how far they've come.

With a warm, encouraging approach, Kristie takes the time to listen, explain each step of treatment, and teach home exercises that help patients keep their results long after therapy ends. She believes that when patients understand their bodies and feel supported, they recover faster and with more confidence.

Andres "Andy" Zapata is a board-certified occupational therapist with more than 20 years of experience helping patients regain independence and return to the everyday activities that matter most, from work tasks and self-care to driving, cooking, and getting back to hobbies. His clinical focus includes hand and upper-extremity rehabilitation for injuries of the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder, including fractures, tendon injuries, carpal tunnel symptoms, arthritis, and recovery after surgery.

Andy evaluates how an injury affects each patient's daily function, then builds a practical plan that may include therapeutic exercise, manual techniques, fine-motor and grip strengthening, activity modification, and education on protecting the injured area during recovery. He works alongside the physical therapy team so patients receive coordinated, whole-person care from evaluation through discharge.

Andy believes therapy should be practical and goal-driven. The measure of success isn't just less pain; it's the confidence to get back to living fully and independently.
