Dr. Dobbs brings the same board-certified expertise you'd find at a top orthopedic clinic, delivered directly to your home. Physical therapy, rehabilitation, and therapeutic massage at your door.
Every minute of your session is with Dr. Dobbs. No hand-offs to a PT aide or tech midway through.
Getting to a clinic is often the hardest part of recovery. We eliminate that barrier entirely.
Dr. Dobbs knows your history, your goals, and your progress at every visit.
As a board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (a credential held by fewer than 10% of physical therapists), Dr. Dobbs brings diagnostic precision and treatment quality typically found only in top specialty clinics, delivered directly to your door.
Herniated discs, sciatica, cervicogenic headaches, postural dysfunction, and chronic low back pain.
Meniscal tears, IT band syndrome, hip impingement, osteoarthritis, and patellofemoral pain.
Rotator cuff tears, impingement syndrome, frozen shoulder, labral injuries, and AC joint issues.
Vestibular rehab, gait training, strength programming, and fall risk reduction for older adults.
Full movement screen, functional assessment, and discussion of your history, goals, and lifestyle.
Manual therapy, joint mobilization, soft tissue work, and neuromuscular re-education, all in the same visit.
A clear roadmap covering number of visits, your home exercise program, and measurable goals from day one.
As a Certified Massage Practitioner with a physical therapy background, Dr. Dobbs brings a clinical eye to every session. Each technique is selected based on your specific soft tissue presentation, never a one-size-fits-all routine.
Long, flowing strokes to promote circulation, ease muscle tension, and activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Ideal for stress, general soreness, and recovery.
Sustained pressure targeting the deeper layers of muscle and fascia. Effective for chronic tension, postural patterns, and areas of restricted movement.
A blend of techniques designed for active individuals: pre-event activation, post-event recovery, or ongoing maintenance to support training loads.
Sustained pressure and stretching of the fascial system to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve tissue quality. Particularly effective for chronic pain patterns.
Full-body work or focused treatment of 2 to 3 target areas. Ideal for maintenance and regular recovery.
Comprehensive full-body treatment with more time for deeper work in problem areas. Best for first visits or complex presentations.
Book 5 or more sessions and save $25 per session. Mix PT and massage freely.
The weeks immediately following surgery are the most critical window for long-term outcomes. In-home rehab eliminates the burden of transportation during your most vulnerable phase and allows Dr. Dobbs to evaluate and treat you in your actual living environment.
Early mobility, swelling management, quad activation, and stair training in the environment where you'll actually recover.
Weight-bearing progression, hip precautions in context, gait training, and safe return to daily activities.
Sling management, pendulum exercises, progressive range of motion, and return-to-function programming.
Lumbar or cervical fusion, discectomy, and laminectomy: guided recovery with precaution-aware programming.
Getting in and out of a car post-surgery is painful and risky. We come to you from day one.
Dr. Dobbs evaluates your actual stairs, bathroom, and bedroom, then trains you in them.
Research consistently shows earlier mobility intervention leads to better long-term outcomes.
Whether you're a weekend warrior, competitive athlete, or active adult, Dr. Dobbs designs sport-specific rehab programs that address the root cause rather than just the symptom. The goal is always a full, confident return to activity.
Ankle sprains, hamstring strains, groin pulls, and calf tears. Acute management through full return to sport.
Runner's knee, shin splints, Achilles tendinopathy, and stress reactions. Addressed through load management and biomechanical correction.
Patellar, rotator cuff, and elbow tendinopathy: evidence-based progressive loading to restore tendon capacity.
Objective strength, power, and movement testing to confirm genuine readiness before clearing return to competition.
Most sports injuries stem from mechanics, load errors, or tissue capacity. We find the source, not just the symptom.
Evidence-based programming that challenges your tissue appropriately, building capacity without setbacks.
Clear criteria-based milestones so you return to your sport confidently, not just hopefully.
Fewer than 10% of physical therapists hold the Orthopedic Clinical Specialist credential. It requires passing a rigorous national exam and demonstrating advanced clinical competency.
At a clinic, your "hour" often means 20 minutes with a PT and 40 with an aide. At Dobbs PT, every minute of the session is with Dr. Dobbs, from evaluation through discharge.
We make it easy to pursue out-of-network reimbursement. Every PT session comes with a detailed superbill ready to submit to your insurer.
