Physical Therapy

Simon earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Southern California, widely regarded as the best physical therapy program in the United States. He brings a deep-rooted passion for movement, performance, and patient care to the team. A lifelong athlete, Simon grew up playing baseball and went on to compete in both basketball and tennis throughout high school, giving him firsthand insight into the physical and mental resilience required to perform at a high level.

Simon’s clinical philosophy is strictly patient-centered, prioritizing the unique goals of each individual to ensure they return to the activities and hobbies they love with minimal pain. Simon is passionate about helping clients regain their confidence—mentally, physically, and emotionally—by bridging the gap between traditional rehab and functional strength training.

When he’s not in the clinic, Simon stays active through weightlifting, basketball adult leagues, and the occasional game of pickleball. He also enjoys the technical craft of cutting hair, exploring his interests in design, and socializing over wine-tastings with friends.
