Sports Physical Therapy for Athletes, Golfers & Go-Getters Near Rancho Palos Verdes
At i.Athlete Physio, we don’t just get you back in the game
we help you raise it
Whether you're a weekend warrior, a dedicated golfer, or someone who refuses to accept pain as your new normal, you deserve care that’s as committed to performance as you are. Located just minutes from Rancho Palos Verdes, our Torrance clinic is where active individuals across the South Bay come to recover stronger, move better, and play harder.
You Don’t Have to Be a Pro to Train Like One
Our approach is rooted in elite-level performance training — but built for every body. If you’re navigating persistent shoulder pain, battling recurring low back stiffness, or looking for sports physical therapy that goes beyond a generic rehab plan, you’ve found the right team. We combine hands-on treatment with movement-based rehab to create personalized plans that meet you where you are and take you where you want to go.
And if you're tired of short-term fixes and surface-level advice, we're here to offer a fresh perspective — one rooted in data, movement analysis, and real results.
Golf Physical Therapy That Goes Beyond Swing Tips
You don’t have to guess where your power leak is — we’ll find it.
Through Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) certified evaluations, we identify the physical limitations that affect your swing, posture, and performance. Our golf program is trusted by athletes throughout the Los Angeles area — and available to you just a short drive from Rancho Palos Verdes.
We’ll assess your mobility, stability, and coordination, then build a golf-specific plan that helps you perform better and stay injury-free. Better rounds start with better movement — and we’re here to get you both.

Comprehensive full-body assessments that actually get to the root of your issue
Custom exercise programming that goes beyond rehab and into long-term resilience
A space where your goals drive your treatment — whether that’s returning to the golf course, training for your next race, or simply moving pain-free again

What Our Clients Are Saying
At i.Athlete Physio, we don’t just provide physical therapy — we build lasting relationships and support you through every phase of your recovery. Hear what our clients have to say:
“In April of 2023, I was recovering from knee surgery after a skiing accident. I wasn’t able to properly walk, put pressure on it, or support myself. After looking around for a good PT place, I was pointed in the direction of i.Athlete Physio, and was taken in by both Dr. Cooper and Dr. Young. We worked through the first central issues, worked on rebuilding strength in the knee, leg, and back. After I felt good with the knee, we moved on to work on overall better body composition. As I am writing this today, I feel the best I've ever felt, and know how I can properly move my body without having a single doubt it can do the things it's supposed to do. Dr. Young & Dr. Cooper have been miracle workers. Their care, banter, and approach to physical therapy is unique. It's tailored to me, and I consider this to be one of the highlights of my week.”
