Chad Neubrand, MS, PT, directs the physical therapy department at San Diego Sports Medicine & Family Health Center in Grantville, San Diego, practicing from Suite 2101 at 6699 Alvarado Rd, 92120. California PT license 19389 covers a clinical practice active since 1992, when Neubrand completed his Master of Science in physical therapy at the University of Iowa. SDSM was founded in 1980 by Dr. E. Lee Rice, DO, and acute injury referrals from walk-in clinics — Perlman Clinic Mission Gorge among them — route into the physical therapy department for structured recovery programs. The Alvarado Road location houses over 12,000 square feet of rehabilitation space equipped with a therapeutic pool, a Pilates studio, and a full suite of resistance and stretching apparatus. Neubrand's specialties include manual orthopedic therapy, functional exercise programming, foot biomechanics with custom orthotic fabrication, and post-operative rehabilitation protocols for hip and shoulder surgeries. He currently serves as a guest lecturer in SDSU's Doctorate of Physical Therapy program, connecting the university's academic pipeline to the clinical training floor at the Alvarado campus. The aquatic therapy pool allows partial-weight-bearing exercise for patients who cannot yet tolerate full ground-reaction forces, and the Pilates studio runs reformer-based core stabilization sequences as part of spinal rehabilitation protocols. SDSM's integrated model pairs physical therapy with on-site family medicine physicians, sports medicine specialists, and behavioral health resources — Alter Behavioral Health - San Diego addresses the psychological dimensions of chronic pain and post-injury recovery in the same corridor. The 92120 ZIP places the facility in eastern Grantville adjacent to the I-8 freeway, within three miles of SDSU's main campus.
