Regenerate Physical Therapy and Performance
Whether it's a new injury, a long-standing condition, or a goal to move better — we treat the full range of musculoskeletal conditions with 100% one-on-one doctor-led care.
Five core service areas — each delivered with the same commitment to one-on-one, doctor-led care that gets results.
Hands-on treatment that targets the root cause of your pain — not just the symptoms. You'll feel relief from day one.
Skilled, one-on-one rehabilitation after orthopedic surgery — designed to restore full function and get you back to the activities you love.
Sport-specific movement analysis and injury treatment to get athletes back on the field, course, or court — and keep them there.
Dr. Mortimer is a TPI Certified Medical Professional (Level 2) — one of the highest credentials in golf-specific physical therapy. Combining biomechanics, swing analysis, and PT to help you play longer and hurt less.

Each condition below is treated with the same approach: find the root cause, address it hands-on, and build the strength to keep it from coming back.
The most common condition we treat. Whether from a disc issue, muscle strain, or poor movement patterns, we identify the exact source and eliminate it — not just manage it.
That sharp, burning pain running down your leg is often caused by nerve compression in the lumbar spine or piriformis muscle. We free up the nerve and retrain the surrounding muscles.
From desk posture to sports collisions, neck pain often involves both joints and muscles. Manual therapy combined with targeted strengthening delivers lasting relief and restored range of motion.
Many headaches originate from tension in the neck and upper back. Physical therapy addresses the cervical joints and muscles that refer pain into the head — without medication.
Shoulder pain during overhead movements, reaching, or sleeping is often impingement or rotator cuff-related. We restore proper mechanics so the shoulder moves pain-free.
Partial and full rotator cuff tears can often be managed with physical therapy before considering surgery — and require skilled post-surgical rehab after. We handle both.
A progressive condition that severely limits shoulder mobility. Targeted joint mobilization and stretching can significantly speed up the recovery timeline, which otherwise takes 1–3 years untreated.
Lateral and medial epicondylitis are overuse injuries that respond exceptionally well to manual therapy and loading programs. Whether it's your backhand or your swing, we get you back to it.
From carpal tunnel syndrome to de Quervain's tendinopathy and wrist sprains, we provide manual therapy and functional rehabilitation to restore grip strength and pain-free movement.
Knee pain from running, sport, or daily life is rarely just a knee problem — it often involves hip and ankle mechanics. We treat the full kinetic chain for lasting results.
Post-surgical ACL and meniscus rehab requires a skilled, progressive approach. We guide you from early swelling management all the way to full return-to-sport clearance.
Hip impingement (FAI), labral tears, and hip bursitis can make walking, sitting, and sport unbearable. Manual therapy and targeted exercise restore hip mobility and reduce pain quickly.
That stabbing pain in the heel on your first steps in the morning is highly treatable with the right manual therapy and loading program. Most patients see major improvement within 4–6 sessions.
Rolled ankles that don't heal properly lead to chronic instability and repeated sprains. Physical therapy restores proprioception and strength so your ankles can handle the demands of daily life and sport.
Whether it's Achilles, patellar, or hamstring tendinopathy, the key is a progressive loading program that stimulates tendon healing without re-injury. We manage the full process.
From ACL reconstruction to hip replacement and spinal surgery — skilled post-op PT is the single biggest factor in how well and how quickly you recover. Every session is one-on-one with the doctor.
Low back pain, golfer's elbow, hip and shoulder injuries are among the most common golf injuries. As a TPI Level 2 certified therapist, Dr. Mortimer connects your swing mechanics directly to your pain — and fixes both.
This list covers our most common cases, but it's far from complete. If you're dealing with pain, limited mobility, or recovering from an injury or surgery not listed here, there's a good chance we treat it. Book a free consultation and let's find out.
Every session follows the same three-phase sequence — regardless of the condition being treated.
Hands-on treatment to address restricted muscles and joints. Deep tissue massage, joint mobilizations, cupping, and Gua sha work together to reduce pain and restore mobility — starting on day one.
Once mobility is restored, we target the muscle imbalances and weaknesses contributing to your condition. Exercises are progressed each visit to continually challenge and build your tissues.
You leave every session with a home program tailored to your specific deficits. Not a printed handout — a living plan built around your condition, your goals, and your lifestyle.
No. California is a direct access state, meaning you can see a physical therapist without a physician referral for up to 12 visits or 45 days. You can book your free consultation at Regenerate PT today — no referral or prescription required.
Relief occurs quickly, but we focus on treating the whole body region — not just the symptom. Programs are typically 6–12 visits to return you to your sport or activity without pain or fear of it returning. Dr. Mortimer will give you a realistic estimate after your initial evaluation.
Absolutely — post-surgical physical therapy is one of the most critical parts of a full recovery. Dr. Mortimer works with patients after ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, labrum surgery, hip and knee replacement, and spinal procedures. Skilled, progressive PT after surgery significantly improves outcomes and shortens recovery time.
Acute pain is recent (typically under 3 months) and usually tied to a specific incident — a sports injury, a fall, or a sudden movement. Chronic pain persists beyond 3 months and often has complex, layered causes. Regenerate PT treats both with the same root-cause approach: find where the problem originates, address it with manual therapy, and eliminate it with corrective exercise.
Absolutely. While Dr. Mortimer has deep expertise in sports rehabilitation and golf performance, the majority of patients at Regenerate PT are everyday people dealing with back pain, post-surgical recovery, neck pain, or conditions that limit their daily life. The goal is always the same: return you to the activities — athletic or otherwise — that matter to you.
