Your Trusted Physical Therapy Partner in Bakersfield
Founded in 1998 by Tim TERRIO, our organization has grown from a single clinic in North Bakersfield to a comprehensive network of therapy services across Kern and Fresno Counties. Our team of over 80 licensed therapists delivers specialized care through outpatient, inpatient, pediatric, and school-based programs, supported by a commitment to continuing education and clinical excellence. We pioneered innovative partnerships with institutions like Rocky Mountain University's Clinical Excellence Network, enabling us to offer internships in six specialty areas - a distinction unique to our organization nationwide. With 13 locations and contracts serving over 25,000 annual treatments at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital, we maintain a patient-centered approach that has earned us 15 consecutive years as Kern County's top physical therapy provider.

Our evidence-based practices address conditions ranging from sports injuries to neurological disorders, while our Early Intervention Program supports developmental needs in children under three. Through investments in technologies like AposHealth for knee osteoarthritis and a focus on workplace ergonomics, we combine clinical expertise with practical solutions. Our therapists' average tenure of 6.1 years reflects our commitment to professional growth, competitive compensation, and a 401(k) matching program that strengthens team stability. This enduring expertise enables us to fulfill our mission of helping patients 'Get Informed, Get Moving, Get Better' across the San Joaquin Valley.
