Who are we? Physical Therapy Innovations is a private outpatient physical therapy practice specializing in orthopedic and neurological dysfunctions as well as sports injuries. Founded in 1989 by Allen Ling, it offers the finest professional team with diverse experience and interests.

What do we offer? Clinic or Land-based physical therapy is offered at 3 convenient locations in El Cerrito, Orinda and Oakland.

Additionally, our El Cerrito clinic offers an Independent Gym Program and Wellness Center.


Our Mission is to provide you relief from pain and the best possible physical therapy and rehabilitation experience. This begins from the time you make your first appointment and continues as your therapist works together with you and your doctor for your safe and effective recovery.
