The results you want. The care you deserve.

Injuries can sideline athletes and disrupt training, performance, and everyday life. While rest is often necessary, returning to activity too quickly or without proper rehabilitation can increase the risk of re-injury and prolonged setbacks. At Ashwood Physical Therapy, our experienced therapists understand the physical demands of sports and recreational activities and develop individualized treatment programs designed to address the root cause of injury—not just the symptoms.

Through a combination of hands-on care, strength and conditioning, movement analysis, and sport-specific training, we help athletes safely restore mobility, strength, power, and confidence. Our goal is to guide you through every stage of recovery and ensure a safe, efficient return to competition, recreation, and the activities you love while minimizing the risk of future injury.

Our therapists have extensive experience treating work-related injuries, including repetitive stress, overuse syndromes, and job-specific musculoskeletal conditions. Whether symptoms develop from prolonged sitting, lifting, repetitive motions, or physically demanding job tasks, our goal is to identify the underlying cause and develop an individualized treatment plan that promotes lasting recovery.

Treatment focuses on reducing pain, restoring mobility and strength, improving function, and preventing future injury. Through hands-on care, therapeutic exercise, ergonomic education, and work-specific rehabilitation, we help patients safely return to work and resume their daily and recreational activities with confidence. Our commitment is to help every patient recover efficiently and achieve long-term success both on and off the job.

Under the guidance of our Doctor of Physical Therapy, each patient receives a comprehensive evaluation that includes detailed assessments of balance, gait, strength, coordination, and fall risk. Based on these findings, an individualized treatment program is developed to improve stability, enhance confidence with movement, and reduce the risk of falls.

Patients work one-on-one with a physical therapist through a variety of functional activities designed to improve safety and independence in everyday life. Treatment may include balance training, gait retraining, obstacle negotiation, stair and curb navigation, uneven surface walking, and dynamic exercises using hurdles, cones, and other therapeutic equipment. Throughout the rehabilitation process, progress is closely monitored to ensure optimal outcomes and help patients maintain an active, independent lifestyle.

At Ashwood Physical Therapy, we are committed to helping patients improve balance, mobility, and confidence through evidence-based fall prevention programs. Utilizing the latest research and advanced rehabilitation techniques, our therapists develop individualized treatment plans designed to address balance deficits, gait impairments, weakness, and fall risk.

Our clinic features modern therapeutic equipment and technology that allow patients to safely challenge their balance in a controlled environment while tracking progress throughout their recovery. To make therapy both effective and enjoyable, we also incorporate interactive balance and gaming systems that encourage participation, improve coordination, and enhance functional performance.

Whether recovering from an injury, managing a neurological condition, or simply looking to improve stability and independence, our goal is to help patients move with greater confidence and maintain an active, healthy lifestyle.

Regular exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve overall health, enhance brain function, increase energy levels, elevate mood, and promote better sleep. As we age, maintaining an active lifestyle becomes increasingly important for preserving strength, mobility, balance, and independence.

At Ashwood Physical Therapy, our Wellness Program provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals looking to improve their health and fitness without the need for a physician referral or medical insurance. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy develop personalized exercise programs tailored to each individual's goals, abilities, and health needs, helping participants improve function, reduce injury risk, and maintain an active lifestyle.

Whether your goal is to stay healthy, improve mobility, increase strength, or continue exercising after completing physical therapy, our Wellness Program offers professional guidance to help you achieve long-term success and overall well-being.

"I just retired after 31 years as a professional firefighter, I have had 6 different surgeries on various body parts over my career. Ashwood staff has been top notch!!! The staff in the back had got me back to normal Scale of 1-10 I give 15 because they care." –----(Bob L.)

"Sam and his staff are so welcoming, professional and really help clients feel comfortable from the moment we walk in the door through all phases of physical therapy. Their aquatic program provides personal, custom-designed exercises and one-on-one coaching through all the exercises. Everyone is so positive and encouraging and it's a joy to go to PT. They're a great team that values and respects each other's skills and expertise. What a great approach!" -----(Karena L.)

"I have used the services of 3 physical therapists over the last 5 years. Ashwood is the best. They are professional, competent and really care about your progress. Having had problems with the other firms, I was understandably concerned when I first went to them (at the recommendation of my surgeon). I need not have worried; the entire staff is great, striking a balance between pushing me and not overdoing it. I recommend them highly." -----(Luke A.)

"Staff is awesome they know what they are doing and how far to push u. Anyone looking for PT i recommend u come here i think going anywhere else would be a waste of time and money. Everyone here is super friendly and very knowledgeable." -----(Jason J.)

"I'm old and my neck hurts: referred by an Orthopod about 2 months ago. I'm leaving for a hike in Italy and did a 5 mile training hike in Arroyo Verde hills yesterday: pack straps caused NO neck/shoulder pain, use of trekking poles caused NO neck/shoulder stiffness. Woke up this morning with NO pain, stiffness. I realized about a couple of weeks ago that I CAN feel better with exercises specific to my problem! I work out regularly in cardio and circuit areas of the Y and I know that has improved my life BUT I couldn't find a routine that abated my neck issues. Oddly enough, that takes some medical intervention with ***PT!!!***. BTW we first came to Ashwood when my Husband was referred by a doc friend. These people cannot be praised highly enough." -----(June L.)

"They made me feel welcome from day one and are helping me through one of the toughest times in my life with the aquatic therapy program...I have had multiple spinal fusions and they are keeping me focused on my recovery!! Thank u guys so much for your support as I continue to fight this battle!! I would highly recommend this place to anyone who needs aquatic therapy!!"-----(Ana G.)

"I went here after my achilles tendon repair. The staff was great and both of the therapists who I worked with were very knowledgeable! They helped me achieve a quick and full recovery!"-----(Lacey S.)

"The PT I had there was the best. My knee replacement recovery was a success thanks to Ashwood. I'm riding my bike again and walking daily with my wife and dog pain-free!" -----(Guy F.)

"I look forward to my therapy sessions from the moment I am greeted at the door, to my exercise time with the aides (which are friendly and professional), and finally my time with Sam." –---- (Kelly P.)

"I had a left rotator cuff repair. I was blessed to be sent to Ashwood physical therapy. The Physical therapist and PT aides were great!! Encouraging and educating me with the appropriate treatment instructed." –----(Robin W.)

"I used Ashwood PT twice, once after surgery for my plantar fasciitis and again after surgery for a broken tibia. Dr Sam and his staff are professional, but create a relaxing and comfortable environment. The rehab plans were explained and discussed, then altered as needed to accommodate my limitations and progress. A home plan was developed early in my rehab both times so most of the activities I was performing during the sessions were easily carried over to my home setting after discharge. I highly recommend this practice!" -----(Patricia C.)

"I bring 2 people to ashwood for PT and they love it. Prior to them using ashwood they had bad experiences when it came to physical therapy. But everything we've experienced with ashwood has been positive. The staff are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. They offer PT in the pool across the street from them at the YMCA, and it is awesome. Anyone looking for real results with PT should check them out. -----(Senta S.)

"I had a great experience with Ashwood's pool therapy program. The therapist was very attentive and easily modified exercises that I was struggling with. I can't believe how great I felt after about 4 weeks of treatment. I would definitely recommend this clinic for their pool therapy services. I have already recommended several friends and family members to their clinic that I thought would benefit from this type of treatment. I can't believe that most doctors in Ventura don't even know about this type of service offered by Ashwood. I have joined the YMCA and continue to do my exercises in the pool 2 days a week. Thank you guys so much." -----(Kara J.)

"I am so impressed with the professionalism, knowledge & excellent customer service I have received at Ashwood Physical Therapy. The entire office staff is very friendly. Sam did a very thorough examination and has started me on the road to recovery to improve my shoulder range of motion due to a very bad fall. I would highly recommend Ashwood to anyone looking to improve their quality of life!! I would rate them a 10! A 5 star rating isn't enough to show how impressed I am with them!! Thank you Ashwood staff!!" -----(Steven F.)

"My doctor recommended Ashwood Physical Therapy following my shoulder surgery. I'm glad he did because I received AMAZING TREATMENT and was given a thorough home exercise program day 1. The staff at Ashwood is so friendly and make you feel at home while in their care. I couldn't have found a better place & HIGHLY recommend Ashwood to anybody needing physical therapy." -----(Sara W.)

"Ashwood PT is a Godsend to me and my husband. My husband had three surgeries on his right arm after long term computer use affected his wrist, hand and elbow to the point of wasting and loss of strength. The surgeries helped somewhat but the PT really seemed to make a difference. The caring staff at Ashwood made his recovery as thorough and speedy as possible. The folks there honestly care for the patent and his supportive family. Thank you Ashwood." -----(Sophia H.)

"After Carpal Tunnel operation was assigned to another physical therapy company via my insurer. Not a good experience - the other place was unclean, disorganized and I was besieged with up-sale items that are normally provided by the insurer. I took the recommendation from a coworker and made an appointment at Ashwood. From the time I walked in the front door I knew this was going to be a completely different experience - and it was. Ashwood is an oasis amongst the clutter and disinterest that passes for therapy out there. Sam Fisher, the owner is great - caring, concerned and he's invested in my therapeutic outcome. And the staff is awesome -personable, caring, involved and professional. I work at the County of Ventura and have made it my mission to recommend Ashwood to anyone needing physical therapy - and so many of these people have wholeheartedly thanked me it's amazing. I hope you'll thank me too :)" -----(Vast O.)
