Dr. Garrett Spencer, DPT, CSCS

Physical Therapist and Strength Specialist

Dr. Garrett Spencer is a Southern California native who brings extensive East Coast trauma and sports medicine experience back home to the West Coast. He specializes in bridging the gap between acute injury recovery and high-level athletic function by blending advanced orthopedic manual therapy with performance-based rehabilitation.

Garrett spent six years in New York City treating an incredibly diverse clinical population. This included intensive tenure at Bellevue Hospital—one of the nation’s most prestigious Level 1 Trauma Centers—where he focused on complex, traumatic orthopedic cases. Following his time in NYC, he brought his clinical expertise to the Jersey Shore for several years before returning to Southern California.

With his deep background in sports medicine and strength conditioning, Garrett has developed a specialized clinical interest in concussion management, return-to-sport programming after head injuries, and optimizing performance for weightlifters and barbell athletes.

On a Personal Note

Garrett’s path to physical therapy began early, driven by a dual fascination with medicine and fitness, as well as his own personal battle with sports-related injuries over the years of playing football. This firsthand experience as an athlete and a patient shapes his treatment philosophy, fueling his commitment to helping patients navigate their own recovery safely and effectively.

Outside of the clinic, Garrett fully practices the active, outdoor lifestyle he promotes to his clients. On any given weekend, you can find him weightlifting, hiking, fishing, or spending time down at the beach.
