Today, John is proud to lead a highly professional organization that promises its patients the highest standards of care in manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, patient education and results. Education and specialized training are the cornerstones of his practice.

As someone who grew up in the Salinas Valley, attended local schools, and has strong ties to this wonderful community, John is committed to hiring and maintaining a staff of only the most qualified professionals. In addition to providing highly skilled manual therapy and prescribed therapeutic exercise, John and his staff also provide their patients with the tools necessary to achieve and maintain an attitude that will not allow them to fail.
