David Chen

David earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Southern California after completing his bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology at the University of California, Davis. Originally from the Bay Area, he developed an interest in physical therapy after seeing how the right rehabilitation plan helped a family member regain independence following an orthopedic injury.

During his graduate training, David completed clinical experiences in outpatient orthopedics, sports medicine, post-surgical rehabilitation, and chronic pain management. He later became a Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist, reflecting his advanced knowledge in evaluating and treating musculoskeletal conditions. David works with patients experiencing back and neck pain, joint injuries, mobility limitations, and a wide range of orthopedic concerns.

David believes successful rehabilitation begins with helping patients understand their bodies and become active participants in their recovery. His treatment plans combine hands-on care, progressive exercise, and practical strategies patients can use outside the clinic. Whether someone wants to return to a favorite sport or simply move through daily life more comfortably, his goal is to help that person build lasting confidence in their movement.

Outside the clinic, David enjoys running, hiking, trying new restaurants, and spending time with his family. He is also an enthusiastic home cook who is always looking for a new recipe to master.
