About

Barbara J. Boutelle, PT, the founder of the practice operating as Carlsbad Physical Therapy at 3070 Madison Street in Carlsbad Village, established the clinic that now operates within the PTHC and TheraMatrix Physical Therapy network serving the 92008 zip code. Her NPI registration dates to 2006, and the practice combines physical therapy with occupational therapy and hand-splinting services—an upper-extremity specialization that pairs with post-treatment pain management through independent dispensaries such as Carlsbad Neighborhood Pharmacy for patients requiring topical compounding or post-surgical analgesic coordination. Boutelle's clinical team also covers blood flow restriction, chronic pain management, and vestibular rehabilitation from the Village location, with additional staffing through the Ramona satellite office. The hand-therapy program addresses flexor and extensor tendon repairs, carpal tunnel post-surgical protocols, and custom-splint fabrication, with complementary soft-tissue work available at Mantra Karuna for patients managing upper-extremity myofascial restrictions. The highest-acuity hand cases involve staged zone-II flexor tendon repair rehabilitation requiring controlled early-active-motion protocols with thermoplastic dorsal-blocking splint adjustments at weekly intervals.
