Congratulations 🎉🎊 Holly for getting into the Tufts University DPT program in Boston! Holly is an exceptionally hard worker with equal parts generosity and selflessness that is felt throughout the clinic, patients and staff!! She stepped up when the Livermore clinic needed extra assistance at the front desk and is constantly up to take extra tasks and responsibilities for the team.

We’re all VERY proud of her and wish her the very best. Her presence will be missed in the clinic 🥲 but are excited for her next steps 🙌 She has definitely left her mark in the clinic in the 1.5 years she has been with us.

Do you know the difference between Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy? While both play pivotal roles in rehabilitation, their approaches cater to different needs. PT focuses on improving the patient's ability to move their body, whereas an OT focuses on improving the patient's ability to perform activities of daily living. Whether it’s after an injury or due to chronic conditions, PTs and OTs work toward improving your quality of life.
