Why Carlsbad Chooses Valor for Knee Pain
Valor Physical Therapy was built differently. Every session is one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy who takes the time to find the root cause of your knee pain — not just mask it. We use advanced objective testing like VALD force plate analysis to track your progress and build a plan that fits your goals, not your insurance company's limitations.
- 45–60 minute one-on-one sessions with a Doctor of Physical Therapy — every visit, no exceptions
- Advanced VALD force plate and movement screen testing to identify the true cause of your knee pain
- We will NEVER tell you to quit the sport or activity you love
What Our Patients Are Saying
Valentine is not only a great physical therapist that truly cares and listens to her patients — I have been with her through 2 knee surgeries now, and she is the reason why I spoke up for myself about the second surgery. After my second surgery things have gotten a lot better and she played the largest role in my healing process.
