Biography
Casey is a highly skilled physical therapist with a deep passion for orthopedics and helping patients return to the activities they love. He received his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology from CSU Chico before earning his physical therapy degree from the University of St. Augustine in St. Augustine, FL. During his studies, he completed rotations in both outpatient and neuro rehabilitation.
After graduation, Casey moved to Seattle, WA, where he successfully completed his Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) Residency.
While living in Washington for five years, Casey developed an interest in hiking, paddle boarding, and rock climbing, often incorporating these functional movements into his patient recovery plans. He is a former competitive power lifter who now utilizes the principles of power training solely for personal fitness.
Seeking better weather and more opportunities for outdoor exploration, he moved to San Diego, where he continues to explore the world. He has traveled to six continents and, in 2025, completed the Camino de Santiago, walking the 500-mile journey from France to Spain.
As a therapist, Casey enjoys working with a diverse range of patients, taking great joy in helping them achieve reduced pain and return to their favorite activities. He is also passionate about mentoring the next generation of professionals by teaching physical therapy and taking on students.
