Progressive Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, one of Orange County’s premier private outpatient clinics, announced today the opening of a new office in Irvine that will be staffed by Sean Kim, DPT, OCS.  Located at 15771 Rockfield Blvd, Suite 150, the office is easily accessible off of McLaren, across the street from the Irvine Auto Center and conveniently located by the 5 and 405 Fwys in the Irvine Spectrum area it was announced by owner Michael McKindley, DPT. They can be reached at 949.750.8499.

Established in 2004, Progressive Physical Therapy has earned a reputation for developing personalized treatment programs combining evidence-based science with years of clinical expertise.  Specializing in orthopedic and sports rehab, back and chronic pain, musculoskeletal issues along with pre and post-surgical rehab, Progressive treats patients across the generations beginning at 10 years of age.

“I am thrilled with this opportunity to expand Progressive into the Irvine/Lake Forest area,” said Kim who grew up in Orange County and is fluent in Korean. “Many of my patients are delighted that their driving time will be significantly reduced, which is an important issue when you are in pain. I am grateful to Michael for placing his trust in me.”

In addition to traditional physical therapy treatments, Progressive PT has developed advanced specialized programs for youth sports injury prevention and rehabilitation; neurological rehabilitation for Vestibular issues, balance, vertigo, concussion, and Parkinson’s Disease; lymphedema and oncology rehabilitation; dance injury prevention and rehabilitation; along with venous insufficiency and wound care and the recently-established SI Joint Clinic that treats over 100 patients a year.

The OCS designation is a distinguished honor that is shared by less than 5% of all physical therapists in the United States. Each year the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) recognizes a select few physical therapists who pass a rigorous examination related to their area of expertise to become board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialists (OCS). It was established to provide formal recognition for physical therapists with advanced clinical knowledge, experience, and skills in a special area of practice and to assist consumers and the health care community in identifying these physical therapists. Orthopedic Clinical Specialists are experts in evaluating and treating musculoskeletal conditions.

The Irvine clinic will be open daily from 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. primarily serving the communities of Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, Laguna Beach, Laguna Woods, Foothill Ranch, Mission Viejo, San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point, Ladera Ranch, Rancho Santa Margarita, Aliso Viejo, and Tustin. There is ample free parking that is wheelchair accessible. Most major PPOs are accepted along with Medicare, Medi-Medi, Tricare, Workers Comp, and some HealthNet HMO plans. Cash courtesy pricing is available. To schedule an appointment call 949.750.8499.  For information is available online at ProgressivePTandRehab.com
