about me

Dr. Caleb Burgess PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS

Hi, I’m Dr. Caleb Burgess. I’m a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy, a certified specialist in Orthopedic Physical Therapy through the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties, and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

In 2014, I received my Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) from Azusa Pacific University. The next two years I completed a Residency in Orthopedic Physical Therapy and then a Fellowship in Sports and Orthopedic Physical Therapy through Kaiser Permanente Southern California. This advanced training allowed me to become an expert in musculoskeletal conditions both related to the general and athletic populations. Furthermore, as a strength and conditioning specialist, I am qualified to help people to develop and achieve higher level performance based goals that extend beyond traditional rehabilitation.

I specialize in helping athletes and active people of all ages reach peak performance in their sport or activity of choice while helping to bulletproof their bodies to stay injury free in the process.  And I should know! I’ve played sports all of my life, and was blessed to play basketball at the collegiate level (Azusa Pacific University) for 4 years from 2007-2011. During my time as an athlete, I went through my fair share of injuries and know what it’s like to be competing at the highest level only to have to claw my way back up from the bottom after getting injured. I draw on this experience to better understand what other athletes are going through when working with them.

My goal is to help you understand how your body works and what you can do to reduce pain, improve mobility, overcome weakness, recover from nagging or new injuries, and to identify and overcome any obstacles that stand in the way of achieving your goals, however large or small. In my time as a physical therapist and strength coach, I have helped thousands of people like YOU take control of their pain and break through their limitations to return to and EXCEL in the activities they love.
