Make a yearly physical actually physical.
You see your dentist twice a year. You get bloodwork done. But no one — not your primary care doctor, not your gym trainer — has ever looked at how your body actually moves, what's declining, or what's quietly compensating before it becomes a problem.

Your body is changing. Nobody's tracking it.
Modern medicine is exceptional at monitoring what's measurable — blood pressure, cholesterol, bone density. What it doesn't measure is how you actually function. Whether your hips are limiting your stride. Whether one shoulder is quietly overcompensating. Whether that recurring tightness is a posture issue or a strength issue.
By the time most people see a physical therapist, something has already gone wrong. We'd like to change that.
"Your teeth get a biannual checkup. Your body deserves one too."
A complete picture of how your body moves.
The Annual Screen is a 60–90 minute, head-to-toe functional screen conducted in your home by a board-certified physical therapy specialist. You'll receive a written report, a baseline on file, and a clear picture of where you stand — and where to focus.
Strength Assessment
We measure strength via handheld dynamometry and observe movement patterns — not just whether you can lift, but how your body distributes load and where imbalances are building.
Mobility & Flexibility Screen
Joint-by-joint analysis of range of motion, identifying restrictions that limit performance or create downstream compensation patterns before they cause pain.
Movement Quality Analysis
How do you squat, hinge, lunge, push, pull, rotate, and balance? We look at movement pattern efficiency— not just isolated muscles — to identify what's working and what's quietly at risk.
Postural Evaluation
Static and dynamic posture review to identify alignment tendencies that compound over time — especially relevant if you sit, stand, or train for hours each day.
Written Report & Baseline
A clear, jargon-free summary of findings, a baseline on file for year-over-year comparison, and a prioritized list of what to address — if anything.
Personalized Recommendations
Tailored guidance on exercises, habits, or follow-up care based on your results — specific to your body, your lifestyle, and your goals for the year ahead.
The best investment in your child's athletic future isn't more practice. It's knowing their body.
Young athletes train harder and specialize earlier than any generation before them. Their bodies are developing under serious load — and without a proper functional baseline, the warning signs are easy to miss until something goes wrong.
The Annual Screen for youth athletes gives you a comprehensive picture of where your child's body is today: what's strong, what's limited, and what needs attention before it sidelines them.

"Our ultimate hope is that you only have to see us once a year."
We measure success differently. Our goal isn't recurring visits — it's that the people we work with stay so healthy, so well-informed about their bodies, that an annual checkup is all they need. The Annual Screen is the foundation of that commitment.
Your body deserves a proper checkup.
Limited appointments available each month. The Annual Screen is conducted in-home throughout San Diego for adults and youth athletes alike.
