At Active Recovery Lab Physical Therapy, we understand the importance of taking care of your body, especially when it comes to exercise and physical activity. Our mission is to help individuals accelerate their muscle healing, prevent injuries, and maintain wellness through our unique approach to physical therapy. Our team, led by founder and wellness expert Mary Chu, is dedicated to providing personalized care to address the specific needs of each client.
Our Philosophy
Active recovery isn't just about taking a rest day from your workout routine or training. It's about taking proactive steps to accelerate muscle healing, improve circulation, and increase flexibility to quickly return to training. Our approach combines soft tissue mobilization, proper stretching, and calculated use of ice and heat to promote muscle healing while maintaining joint mobility and flexibility.

We offer a range of services designed to help individuals achieve optimal physical well-being. Our services include physical therapy evaluations and treatments, injury prevention, and rehabilitation. We also provide education and guidance on techniques to prevent injuries during exercise or sports, as well as strategies to help women heal after childbirth.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services are designed to address acute and chronic injuries, helping individuals return to their regular, independent workout routine. We use proven rehab and fitness techniques to decrease recovery time, increase muscle flexibility, and improve performance.
Wellness and Pelvic Health
