Physical Therapy in San Luis Obispo

helping people help themselves

  • Our Mission

    Our team of highly educated physical therapists are here to support you. Whether you are an athlete, elder, or somewhere in-between, every client’s situation is different. Everyone has their own unique story. We want to hear your story because by understanding your injury within the context of your lifestyle, we are better able to build a specialized treatment plan that accommodates your needs. Our physical therapists work hard to create comprehensive treatment plans that give patients the tools to lead healthy lives long after they’ve left our office.

  • Our Purpose

    We look at the whole picture, not just the injury. We work with our patients to help them build the strength and the confidence to tackle everyday tasks with ease. We work cohesively and productively to help our patients achieve optimal movement and meet their goals. We value our patients’ time and energy and we make our work together count. We want people to be able to move on with their lives pain-free. “When someone gets better, we’ve worked together,” says Jamie Guerra, PT. We strive to support the health and happiness of the community. Body + Balance Center believes in a compassionate and interactive approach to bodywork and healing. Our goal is to empower individuals. We are here to help people help themselves.

  • Our Goals

    At Body + Balance Center our primary goal is that you are educated about your diagnosis and understand your specified treatment plan. Our second goal is that you are provided with the best tools and techniques for self care so you then can maintain body function, reduce pain and maximize mobility on your own, long after your last session with a therapist.

Testimonials

  • The first day I came to this center, I was having terrible back pain which made it difficult to walk even half a block without pain, I could not stand, sit or even get out of bed without pain. The physical therapy exercises have helped me to be stronger and have more energy. I manage with less pain medication. It is so good to enjoy life without physical pain. Iam now able to walk, sit stand and even balance on one foot. I am 85 years old and will continue ot do the exercises as long as I am able to do so.

  • Body and balance center was recommended to me by my home health physical therapist as one of the best physical therapy offices in the area. I have found this to be true. They always challenge me to do my best. I remind myself to use their professional advice when I am away from therapy, especially at home. I am thankful for their time and patience.
