About

Risa Cosand, MPT is an orthopedic physical therapist in Allied Gardens at 4647 Zion Avenue on San Diego's Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center campus, 92120. Cosand holds NPI 1952506966 and earned her Master of Physical Therapy from Mount Saint Mary's College in Los Angeles, with orthopedic rehabilitation as her primary clinical specialization within Kaiser's integrated health system. Post-discharge patients rebuilding strength after completing formal PT often transition into supervised fitness programming at TruSelf Sporting Club in Allied Gardens, maintaining the functional gains established during rehabilitation. Cosand's orthopedic caseload at the Zion campus targets post-surgical joint reconstruction, rotator-cuff and labral repair recovery, spinal disc herniation management, and sport-related ligament and tendon injuries requiring progressive loading protocols. The Zion Medical Center campus anchors the Allied Gardens healthcare district at Zion Avenue and Orcutt Avenue, placing Cosand's practice within the residential corridor that runs from Waring Road through to the 8 freeway interchange. Kaiser's electronic health record gives Cosand real-time access to surgical reports, MRI and X-ray results, and medication histories generated by the orthopedic surgeons, radiologists, and primary-care physicians on the same Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center campus. Treatment protocols combine manual joint mobilization, soft-tissue techniques, and evidence-based therapeutic exercise with patient-specific home programs. The campus provides wheelchair-accessible parking, building entry, and elevator access to the rehabilitation department across the multi-building Zion complex.
