Expert Neck Pain Physical Therapy in Pasadena, CA
We help active adults and athletes in Pasadena overcome neck injuries and avoid unnecessary surgeries so that they can feel, move, and live pain free—without relying on medications or injections.
Neck Pain Shouldn't Keep You From Living Your Best Life
Too many active adults in Pasadena are held back by neck pain that just won't go away.
You've Tried Rest, But The Pain Returns
Every time you think your neck is better, one wrong movement brings the stiffness and pain right back—keeping you from workouts, sports, and activities you love.
Medications Only Mask the Problem
Pain relievers and muscle relaxers might provide temporary relief, but they don't address the root cause—leaving you dependent on pills without real progress.
You're Worried This Is Your New Normal
The fear that you'll never fully recover, that chronic neck pain will limit your performance, your workouts, and your quality of life for years to come.

"Jordan and team provide exceptional care with a clear focus on long-term healing rather than quick fixes. I came in with back pain and Jordan took the time to understand the root of my issue, explained the mechanics of what my body was doing, and created a thoughtful regimen that would actually correct my posture and strengthen my back to prevent injury in the future. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for meaningful, lasting results!"

"John was my physical therapist and he completely cured my injured rotator cuff. The exercises he gave me were specific to my condition and totally different from anything I found on YouTube. He also helped me with my chronically tight hip—something that had bothered me for years. I feel stronger, more balanced, and pain-free thanks to his guidance."

"I've been working with Chris for a few months now. In the first session, he helped me diagnose a problem with my shoulder that had been bugging me for months and gave me a few adjustments that provided immediate relief.
