Moscardi Physical Therapy
Providing One on One Patient Care
Our goal at Moscardi Physical Therapy is to provide one on one patient care with a Physical Therapist each visit. Exercise programs are individualized according to the patient’s injury. Once range of motion and healing of tissue has been achieved, a thorough strength training program will be initiated. Moscardi Physical Therapy has access to an 8000 square foot gym that has high end cardiovascular equipment and resistive strength machines.

He provided physical therapy to patients with spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, and patients with cerebral vascular injuries.

It was in this setting where he received extensive training on the rehabilitation of joint replacements for the knee, hip, and shoulder. He completed his graduate courses with an internship in Fresno, California. The focus in this clinic was manual techniques used by the physical therapist to effectively treat patients after surgery. Upon moving to the central coast Louis took a position in an outpatient physical therapy setting where he continued to provide excellent clinical care. In 2004, Louis opened Moscardi Physical Therapy in the Pismo Medical Campus.
