About

Outpatient physical therapy rehabilitation near Sharp Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa is the focus of Diane R. Wallace, PTA, who practices at the Brier Patch Campus on Wakarusa Street. The Brier Patch facility houses Sharp Grossmont's outpatient rehabilitation, cardiac rehabilitation, hand clinic, lymphedema clinic, and vestibular clinic under a single campus, with primary-care follow-up coordinated through SharpCare Grossmont in the same health system. As a licensed physical therapist assistant, Wallace executes treatment plans designed by supervising physical therapists, delivering hands-on therapeutic exercise, manual mobilization, and modality-based interventions across orthopedic and post-surgical caseloads. The Brier Patch hand clinic and lymphedema program provide specialized upper-extremity rehabilitation and compression-therapy protocols, offering a continuum of care that connects inpatient discharge from Grossmont Post Acute Care to outpatient functional restoration. The vestibular clinic's highest-complexity interventions involve Epley and Semont canalith-repositioning maneuvers for BPPV, videonystagmography-guided gaze-stabilization training, and multi-session habituation protocols for persistent post-concussion vestibular dysfunction.
