Your Expert Guide: Dr. David Li, PT, DPT, COMT, GTS, CEAS
Hello, I am Dr. David Li, a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy with a mission to usher you into a realm of holistic healing and vitality. My journey began at the University of California, Davis, where I honed my foundation in Exercise Biology. Further nurturing my passion to serve others, I pursued and attained my Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine, San Marcos.
Over the past seven years, I have cultivated a rich tapestry of skills and knowledge, embodying the role of a healer, teacher, and guide in various physical therapy clinics. My specialties include well-honed manual therapy techniques as well as the unique abilities to treat vestibular conditions, such as vertigo, and ergonomic dysfunctions. Now, I am eager to bring this well-rounded expertise to your service, offering a therapeutic approach that is both nurturing and empowering. Transformative Physical Therapy Services:
Comprehensive Pain Management: Delve deep to identify and alleviate persistent pain and discomfort through expert guidance and support.
Body Mechanics Optimization: Learn the art of correct form and posture during exercises to foster a harmonious balance within your body.
Specialized Manual Treatments: Experience the healing power of advanced techniques, including Graston Technique and spinal/joint mobilization, to revive areas affected by old injuries.
Personalized Education: Empower yourself with a wealth of knowledge about your body and the steps to enhance your quality of life.
Customized Coaching: Develop a master plan to manage and control your pain effectively, shaping a future where you dictate the terms of your well-being.
I am committed to bringing you a gold-standard physical therapy service that is your steadfast ally in achieving a full recovery and embracing your optimal self. Our collaboration is built on two pivotal pillars:
Eliminating Pain through specialized hands-on, direct manual PT techniques perfected over years of practice.

FAQs:
Is this Different from Traditional Physical Therapy? Absolutely. I offer an enriched, one-on-one session that transcends the conventional approach. My approach is a hybrid blend of unique physical therapy treatment, performance training through coaching, and culminating with guidance/instruction on how you should best prevent your pain
Do I need a doctor’s referral? No, you do not need a doctor’s referral to see me! California state law allows everyone up to 12 visits over a period of 45 calendar days (whichever comes first) to receive physical therapy treatment. After that time, you will need a referral from a MD, DO, or DPM in order to continue physical therapy treatment. I will be sure to inform you to obtain a doctor’s referral for physical therapy if/when you are required to.
Do you accept insurance? My service follows the fee-for-service model, which is designed for personalized, individual care and attention with no overlapping therapy appointments with other clients. My goal is to focus purely on your holistic recovery without assistance of aides or helpers. As a result, I do NOT accept insurance.
