Oakland Physical Therapy

Established in 1981 by physical therapists Frank and Kristie Kava, Oakland Physical Therapy P.C. was was one of the first private practices specializing in Orthopedic Physical Therapy and has rehabilitated thousands of patients.

Oakland Physical Therapy P.C. emphasizes personal and professional patient care, always striving to provide the highest quality of physical therapy. Our physical therapists are experienced and trained in advanced physical therapy techniques. One of the most important aspects of high-quality care is to identify the individual needs of each patient, maintaining continuity of care with the same therapist at each visit.

Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy is defined as the skilled manipulation of the joints and soft tissue. Manipulation performed by a physical therapist is different from that done by other practitioners. Physical therapists not only manipulate the joints of the spine and extremities, but also treat the muscles with specific types of muscle-stretching. An emphasis is placed on advising and guiding the patient on efficient movement in all functional, occupational, recreational and athletic activities.
