Beverly J. Knauer, OTR, MPH provides occupational therapy from Suite 108 at 6160 Mission Gorge Road in Grantville, San Diego 92120. She holds California occupational therapy license 3227 and NPI 1427185156, with credentials that combine registered occupational therapist certification and a Master of Public Health degree — a dual background that bridges clinical rehabilitation with population-level health strategy. Her Mission Gorge Road practice sits within the Grantville commercial corridor that runs north toward Mission Trails Regional Park. Patients managing renal disease or other chronic conditions at the neighboring Rai Care Center Mission Gorge - San Diego sometimes require occupational therapy to maintain self-care capacity during treatment, and Knauer's proximity on the same Mission Gorge medical office corridor facilitates that coordination. Her caseload covers recovery from orthopedic injuries, neurological events, hand and upper-extremity trauma, and repetitive strain conditions. Occupational therapy at this level focuses on restoring functional independence in activities of living — dressing, cooking, writing, driving — through adaptive equipment training, joint protection techniques, splinting, and graded activity programs tailored to each patient's vocational and domestic demands. The 92120 ZIP's Grantville section is anchored by Mission Gorge Road's mix of medical, commercial, and light-industrial tenants, with Fairmount Avenue intersecting to the south and the SDSU Transit Center roughly two miles to the west. Post-stroke and post-surgical hand therapy cases often involve co-management with neurosurgical and orthopedic specialists, including referrals from Spine and Brain Institute of San Diego in Grantville for upper-extremity rehabilitation following cervical spine procedures. The practice accepts patients whose recovery plans require structured return-to-work protocols, adaptive technology assessments, and home modification recommendations based on functional evaluation outcomes.
