Summer at FPT

Summer is here!  Temperatures are hovering around 110 degrees and the humidity is climbing. The streets of Borrego look like a deserted ghost town. One can gaze down Palm Canyon Drive and see nothing but  heat waves eminating from the asphalt.  All of the snowbirds have left for cooler climates. Anza Borrego State Park has few visitors and a skeleton crew. The restaurants are closing down for July and August.  BUT we are keeping busy at FPT. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  Our office is teaming with people like Winnie, Sylvia, Donara, and Jim working out. There are folks who wait for the lull of the summer season to arrive before having rotator cuff repair or joint replacements done.  That way when October arrives and the golf courses are re-seeded, they are READY to hit the greens! Some have been so unforunate to have had accidents or pesky spine problems too. FPT is the place to come for cool  A/C,  PT, and  TLC!!!!!!

Claudia Baker-Fortiner graduated from Loma Linda University with a Master's Degree in Physical Therapy in 2003. She earned a Bachelor's of Science Degree from CSUF in 1989 with a certificate in Gerontology and AA degree from SDMC in 1980. Physical Therapy has been her passion and career since 1979. Claudia has experience in acute care hospital setting, convalescent and home care, adult day care, pool therapy,  and out patient private practice.

Treatment philosophy at FPT factors in the "total patient" in our desire to support  a patient's well being.  Health history, current medical/physical problems, occupation, social support, activity level, and personal goals are all considered when designing a treatment plan . Cultural, spiritual and emotional  aspects all play an important roll towards recovery.
