Independent outpatient orthopedic physical therapy founded in 2017, Action Physical Therapy and Rehab operates as a solo doctor-of-physical-therapy practice from Suite 410 at 3033 Fifth Ave in Hillcrest. Every visit is a one-on-one hour with the same treating clinician — no aides, no double-booking — a model that pairs naturally with the chiropractic, soft-tissue, and assisted-stretch programming at UPGRADE Chiropractic, Massage, and Stretch for patients building a multi-modal recovery stack. Caseload skews orthopedic: rotator cuff and labral tears, lumbar disc and stenosis cases, post-meniscectomy and ACL rehab, plantar fasciitis, and chronic neck strain. The Fifth Avenue medical corridor address sits two blocks from the surgical and outpatient services at Hillcrest Medical Center at UC San Diego Health, shortening the handoff between hospital discharge and the first outpatient session. Treatment combines manual therapy, McKenzie-style directional preference work, and graded loading toward sport- or job-specific return-to-activity benchmarks. The clinic's most complex caseload is multi-stage post-surgical orthopedic rehabilitation — rotator cuff repairs, total knee and hip arthroplasty, and ACL reconstructions — carried from the immobilization phase through end-stage strength and return to running or overhead sport.
