About

Gemma Bajaro, PT specializes in orthopedic rehabilitation in Chula Vista's Eastlake district at Manual Orthopedic Physical Therapy, bringing a clinical background in acute-care and total-joint recovery since 2001. Her focus on post-surgical shoulder, knee, and ankle rehabilitation applies progressive loading and manual mobilization techniques, building toward the functional range of motion that patients continue to refine at Pilates of Eastlake. Bajaro joined MOPT in 2008 after working in acute-care rehabilitation settings, where she treated total-hip and total-knee arthroplasty patients through early-phase recovery at inpatient facilities. MOPT's Eastlake clinic at 955 Lane Avenue delivers 60-minute initial evaluations and 30-minute one-on-one follow-up sessions, each paired with a supervised therapeutic exercise program targeting individualized functional goals. MOPT partners with Crunch Fitness - Eastlake to provide aquatic therapy in the facility's pool, offering buoyancy-assisted rehabilitation for patients who cannot tolerate full weight-bearing exercise on land. The clinic's highest-complexity protocols include post-total-shoulder arthroplasty rehabilitation spanning four to six months, progressing from pendulum exercises through rotator-cuff isometrics to overhead-press strength benchmarks with isokinetic dynamometer verification.
