Sarah Aoyama, PT, DPT
Clinic Director, Physical Therapist
I believe that each patient is unique with their unique set of experiences and goals. I strive to provide individualized care for each of my patients to help them achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. I find value in integrating manual therapy, modifications to exercise and exercise prescription, as well as appropriate education on functional movement, to achieve these outcomes.”
