About

Tracey King, DPT is a Doctor of Physical Therapy practicing at 3790 Via De La Valle Suite 205, Del Mar, CA 92014, where she serves as a lead clinician at Rancho Del Mar Physical Therapy. Dr. King earned her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a Pre-Physical Therapy emphasis from San Diego State University in 2006, then completed her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at the University of Colorado Health Science Center. She grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa, and her lifelong involvement in sports including tennis, field hockey, squash, running, and swimming directly shaped her career path toward orthopedic and sports rehabilitation. Her clinical training included internships at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Colorado and the San Diego Naval Medical Center, giving her exposure to a wide range of patient populations from military servicemembers to geriatric veterans. Post-graduate continuing education has focused on thoracic and lumbar spine treatment, knee and shoulder rehabilitation, and McKenzie-method training. The clinic features an AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill, which allows patients to rehabilitate lower extremity injuries with reduced body weight and less pain, potentially accelerating recovery timelines. Patients who complement their physical therapy with yoga or stretching classes often head to CorePower Yoga - Del Mar nearby for flexibility work between appointments. Dr. King emphasizes manual therapy techniques including joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, trigger point release, myofascial release, and therapeutic taping. The Via De La Valle office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and is fully wheelchair accessible. Chiropractic patients along the Del Mar corridor seeking integrated spinal care alongside physical therapy should also consider D.R.E.A.M. Wellness on Camino Del Mar.
