When Traveling for Physical Therapy — It Should Have a Clear Purpose
If you live in Corona or elsewhere in Riverside County, you probably have many physical therapy options closer to home than Newport Beach.
So if you are considering traveling to Focus On Health, you are probably looking for something specific.
Perhaps you want physical therapy with a stronger hands-on component. Maybe physical limitations remain after previous treatment or surgery. You may be looking for an integrative approach with a broader range of treatment options, or simply want another perspective on a problem that continues to interfere with your life.
At Focus On Health, advanced manual therapy, integrative physical therapy, extensive postgraduate education, and nearly four decades of clinical experience shape the way we work with patients.
Traveling farther should not be the reason to choose where to go for physical therapy. Finding the kind of approach you are looking for may be.
Hands-On Physical Therapy — Advanced manual therapy is an important part of the individualized, integrative approach to care at Focus On Health in Newport Beach.
Advanced Manual Therapy Is an Important Part of Our Approach
At Focus On Health, hands-on treatment is a foundation of our approach to physical therapy.
Advanced manual therapy allows us to work directly with restrictions involving joints, muscles, fascia, scars, soft tissues, neural mobility, and other physical limitations that may be relevant to pain, restricted movement, and function.
For many patients, this hands-on emphasis is one of the reasons they seek out Focus On Health after previous physical therapy or when they are looking for something beyond a primarily exercise-based approach.
Manual therapy is not used in isolation. It becomes part of an individualized physical therapy approach based on the patient’s physical findings, needs, and goals.

Integrative Physical Therapy Gives Us More Than One Way Forward
Focus On Health is not built around a single treatment method.
Postgraduate training at Focus On Health includes approaches such as:
- Myofascial Release
- CranioSacral Therapy
- Visceral Manipulation®
- Neural Manipulation
- Vascular Manipulation
- Manual Articular Techniques
- Scar and Adhesion Treatment
- Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
- TMJ Rehabilitation
- The Feldenkrais Method®
- Redcord Therapy and Neuromuscular Activation (NEURAC)
Treatment may also incorporate therapeutic exercise, strengthening, neuromuscular rehabilitation, balance and coordination work, movement retraining, functional rehabilitation, patient education, and an individualized home program.
Having more treatment options does not mean using more techniques on every patient. It gives us a broader range of possibilities when developing individualized physical therapy care.
When the Physical Problem Has More Than One Layer
Some physical problems are relatively straightforward. Others may involve persistent symptoms, restricted mobility, weakness, previous surgery, scars, neural mobility limitations, or physical restrictions involving more than one region of the body.
Sometimes previous rehabilitation has helped significantly, yet something still remains.
A previous injury may matter. A scar may or may not be relevant. Strength may have improved while mobility remains limited. A painful region may need attention while another physical restriction also appears to influence function.
Several findings can exist at the same time without all of them deserving equal attention.
At Focus On Health, the goal is to understand the physical factors that appear most relevant to the individual patient and use that information to guide treatment.
Physical Therapy for Common, Persistent, and More Complex Physical Problems
Focus On Health works with patients experiencing a wide range of musculoskeletal, movement-related, neuromuscular, and functional problems.
Physical therapy may address a wide range of impairments and functional limitations. These may involve, to name just a few:
- Neck, back, spine, and rib cage
- Shoulder, arm, wrist, and hand
- Hip, knee, foot, and ankle
- Muscles, joints, fascia, and other soft tissues
- TMJ, pelvic-region, and pelvic-floor physical impairments
- Sports injuries, repetitive-use problems, and post-surgical rehabilitation
- Scar restrictions, neural mobility limitations, weakness, balance, coordination, and other functional problems
A diagnosis can provide useful information, but it does not tell us everything about how a physical problem affects you.
Focus On Health evaluates and addresses physical impairments, pain, mobility restrictions, movement limitations, neuromuscular impairments, and functional problems that are appropriate for physical therapy.
