California-licensed physical therapist (PT #35224) practicing acute-care and ICU mobility within UC San Diego Health, Carise Baril, DPT works out of the W Arbor Drive medical campus at the Hillcrest UCSD complex. Clinical focus is early-mobility intervention for critically ill patients — ventilated ICU cases, post-trauma admissions, and emergency-department evaluations — with imaging coordination running through Imaging Healthcare Specialists - Hillcrest when fracture or soft-tissue clearance is needed before mobilization. A doctorate from Simmons College and a former career as a ballet dancer inform an ortho-neuro hybrid treatment style attentive to dancers, postural athletes, and patients recovering proprioception after neurologic insult. For dance-population discharge planning, mat-based studio time at Yoga Deck covers the low-impact axial loading and turnout-friendly hip work that bridges acute recovery into return to performance. The most demanding caseload is early-mobility rehabilitation of mechanically ventilated ICU patients — getting intubated, sedated, or ECMO-dependent patients sitting, standing, and stepping at bedside as part of the early-rehab protocol that has measurably reduced ICU length of stay.
