Valen’s journey began after a life changing injury while in high school. On his own path to recovery with the assistance from a physical therapist, he was able to return to playing basketball. My experience as a patient fueled my desire to become a physical therapist and assist people in returning to do the activities they love to do.
Valen earned his Bachelor’s degree at CSUN in Kinesiology, Exercise Science. He then received his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in San Marcos, CA. While working as the clinical director for an insurance based outpatient clinic, he observed differences in the level of care provided by therapists due to the lack of one on one care. Given the desire to give the best possible care to his patients, he decided to open his own practice to give people what they deserve. Valen’s mission is to reduce your risk of falling, get you out of pain and back to doing what you love.
In his free time, Valen enjoys spending time with his wife, dog and two cats and playing basketball and archery.
