Dr. Sean French

Hi, I’m Sean French, a doctor of physical therapy, and my goal is to help you bridge the gap between recovery and performance, so you can get back to doing what you love, with the strength and confidence to do it well.

I received both my Bachelor’s degree and Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Southern California. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of individuals, from navigating acute injuries and returning to sport to helping people reach a higher level of physical performance than they had before.

I believe physical therapy should be more than simply treating an injury or getting you out of pain. While recovery is the foundation, the ultimate goal is getting you ready for what comes next. Whether that means returning to competitive sport, getting back to your favorite hobby, or simply feeling confident in your everyday movement, your goals reflect where we go.

I believe everyone deserves personalized, individualized care at the highest level possible. No person, injury, or goal is exactly the same. That’s why I take the time to understand your goals and create a treatment approach specific to you.

Recovery is not always easy. It takes intention, consistency, and commitment to rebuild your body and regain confidence in what it can do. With every injury come physical and mental hurdles, and overcoming those challenges is an important part of the process. My role is to help you navigate those challenges while progressively building the strength, mobility, control, and confidence you need to move forward.

My goal is not just to get you back to where you were, it’s to help prepare you for where you want to go.

Whether you’re an athlete working towards a return to sport or someone who wants to live, move, and enjoy your hobbies without pain or limitation, I want to help you achieve your goals.

Your recovery is a process. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Dr. Kellen Matsuno

Hi, I’m Kellen, doctor of physical therapy and strength and conditioning coach. My aim is to be a guide for all athletes at all stages of function. Youth or professional, rehabilitation or performance focused. I want to provide you with concise and actionable care to help you consistently improve toward your goals.

As a prior athlete I was always in and out of rehabilitation. I appreciate the physical and psychological fluctuations that occur throughout a career of competition. For me, on some days I flowed. I felt unstoppable. My mind and body were in sync, everything was smooth, easy, and effortless. On other days, especially following an injury, everything felt like a grind. I was expending greater amounts of energy while producing worse results. I questioned my capabilities and felt like I was no longer in control of my body or outcomes. Fortunately for me, these injuries lead me to a couple of unbelievable clinicians, one of whom I’m still in contact with to this day. My relationships with these clinicians really transcended the common physical components of rehab and truly brought me back to a form I was proud of.

Rehabilitation is HARD. And unless you have been through it before nothing can quite prepare you. The physical demand is always challenging, and the psychological stress is exhausting to say the least. But you are not alone here. Today, it is my passion to work with athletes transitioning through rehabilitation. It is my goal to create a partnership, equipping you with the physical and psychological tools needed to take ownership of your situation. In my eyes, nothing is more powerful than knowing you have the capacity to control your own outcome. I take pride in building a trustworthy, accountable partnership and feel privileged to impact your journey like the outstanding professionals who looked after me.
