Expert physical therapy for Santa Monica and the Westside

Physical therapy works as a first-line treatment for most muscle and joint problems. It is clinically proven to reduce pain and dysfunction, and it usually costs less than the imaging-and-surgery route people expect to end up on.

Only qualified, licensed physical therapists can provide it. At our Ocean Park Blvd clinic every session is one-to-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and treatment starts in your first session rather than three appointments later.

Dr Amy Fee DPT, OCS, ATC, CSCS has treated Santa Monica athletes and families for two decades, including twenty years as team physio for Santa Monica Rugby Club. Alongside general physical therapy, the clinic offers sports rehabilitation, dry needling, concussion therapy and vestibular rehabilitation, so treatment can adapt as your recovery moves.

Who we treat

Runners and cyclists along the beach path. Rugby, soccer and volleyball players. Office workers with neck and low back pain. Patients recovering from orthopedic surgery. Pregnant and postnatal patients. Anyone whose body stopped doing what it used to do.

How we work

Physical therapy that treats the cause, not just the sore spot

The knee that hurts is often not the thing that's wrong. We look at how you move, then fix what's driving the pain.

A full assessment first

Every course of treatment starts with a proper evaluation. We look at how the joint moves, what the surrounding muscles are doing, your strength, your balance, and how the problem area behaves when you load it. Pain in one place frequently traces back to weakness or stiffness somewhere else, and treating only the sore spot is how injuries keep coming back.

Exercise that fits your week

The home program is short and specific. A handful of movements that target what your assessment found, not a generic list. Most patients spend a few minutes a day on it, and we adjust it every visit as you get stronger, so you are never grinding through exercises that stopped being useful three weeks ago.

Hands-on treatment, not a photocopied sheet

Treatment combines manual therapy with a plan you actually follow. Depending on the injury that can mean soft tissue work, joint mobilisation, dry needling for stubborn muscle tension, or cupping. The passive work gets you comfortable enough to move. The active work is what makes the result stick.

Built for getting back to activity

For athletes and active patients, getting out of pain is only half the job. The clinic's sports rehabilitation and performance training take you from moving without pain to moving well under load, with return-to-play criteria rather than a vague sense that you probably feel fine now. For recovery between sessions, patients can use NormaTec compression and biofeedback.

Before you book

Common questions about physical therapy in Santa Monica

A few things worth knowing before your first visit. Anything not covered here, call (310) 393-1703 and ask.
No. California has direct access, so you can book physical therapy without seeing a physician first. If your insurance plan requires a referral for reimbursement, we flag that when you call.
Most patients get an appointment within 24 to 48 hours of getting in touch.
An initial evaluation runs 55 to 60 minutes. We assess how you move, where the pain sits and what triggers it. You always leave with something to work on, whether that's an exercise, a stretch, a posture change or a modification, plus hands-on treatment where it's appropriate. Follow-up visits run 40 to 55 minutes.
Anywhere from 6 to 24 or more, depending on how severe the problem is, how you respond to treatment, any other conditions involved, and whether surgery was part of the picture. Neck pain from a bad desk setup might need a workstation change, some postural work and manual therapy. An ACL reconstruction runs through a full return-to-sport protocol with milestones at each phase. We give you an honest estimate after your first assessment.
