PHYSICAL THERAPY BUILT AROUND YOU
DON’t Just Treat where it Hurts, Understand what’s Contributing to it.
The body doesn't move as a collection of isolated parts. Your shoulder, spine, hips, breathing, strength and movement strategies all influence how you move.
At Montecito Physical Therapy, we look beyond the painful area to understand the movement limitations that may be contributing to your symptoms.
01- Assess
We start with a detailed movement assessment to understand how your body moves and identify limitations that may be contributing to your symptoms.
02 - Treat
Treatment is individualized to what we find — combining hands-on care, movement, exercise and education based on what your body needs that day.
03- Reassess
We recheck your movement throughout the session to see what actually changed and use those results to guide what we do next.

Low Back and Shoulder pain
“A rare and quality experience by a provider who takes pride in their hard work and knowledge. Dr. Gilligan displayed remarkable ability to listen and understand, which results in care that is entirely tailored to you. This means you don't have to try and fit into some routine, but instead thrive the way you are supposed to. Highly recommend this clinic above the others in SB.”

Charles Gilligan, Doctor of Physical Therapy, UHPC Certified, CSCS
My dog Deebo and I started Montecito Physical Therapy to provide a different kind of physical therapy experience — one patient at a time, with the time to listen, assess, treat and reassess.
My approach combines physical therapy, strength and conditioning, biomechanics and movement analysis to help you move better and get back to the activities that matter to you.
