​(San Luis Obispo, CA)  Precision Physical Therapy and Wellness will celebrate the Grand Opening of its Clinic in San Luis Obispo. The community is invited to the Ribbon Cutting at 4:30pm with the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce and Reception with Open House from 5:00pm to 7:30pm, Thursday, November 21 at 211 Tank Farm Road, Suite A, 93401 (across from Farm Supply).
 
Precision Physical Therapy is owned by Dr. Dave Svetich and Dr. Kristen Carless, both Doctors of Physical Therapy and Board Certified Specialists in Orthopedics. Svetich and Carless, both Cal Poly graduates, have been practicing physical therapy for a combined 37 years, with 28 of those years in San Luis Obispo County.
 
The plan to start their own practice was borne out of the realization that San Luis Obispo is woefully underserved when it comes to physical therapy access. According to Carless, “It’s not uncommon for patients to have three week waits to get an appointment for therapy. Dave [Svetich] and I are determined to change that. That’s why Precision Physical Therapy had a 48 Hour Appointment Guarantee.” Patients will be offered an appointment within 48 hours of their first call. “We’ve had some patients have been quite shocked to find out that they can be evaluated by a therapist the same day they call,” said Svetich, “When you’re hurting, the last thing you want to hear is that it will be a three week wait.”
 
The 4,000-square-foot clinic will be used to provide one-on-one physical therapy treatment, specialized twice-weekly PWR Moves! (Parkinson’s Wellness Recovery) exercise classes, and educational seminars on therapy innovations for both patients and physical therapy professionals. “We hope to host many community health and wellness events in our space and want to expand on our already existing ties to the community,” said Carless. The Grand Opening event will support non-profits like Cal Poly Tennis, Cal Poly Rugby and Central Coast Parkinson Association with Silent Auctions. Precision is also partnering with local health related businesses like Tank Farm Road neighbor, Kennedy Club Fitness, and with Boost Nutrition, which has recently opened near Cal Poly.
 
Besides Svetich and Carless, Precision will be staffed by Dr. Kate MacVicar, Doctor of Physical Therapy; with support from Physical Therapy Aides: Miranda Lykens, Taylor Shoemaker and Julianna Ruotolo; and administrative support from Kameron Ramirez and Erin Crotts. “Given a steady patient growth rate, we look forward to hiring additional physical therapists to help keep up with demand and maintain our 48 Hour Appointment Guarantee,” said Svetich.

(San Luis Obispo, CA)  Timothy H. Jones, MD, of Regenerative Mind Body, in partnership with Precision Physical Therapy and Wellness, will be conducting a free educational talk on regenerative medicine including non-surgical treatments for hip, knee, shoulder and back pain on Wednesday, November 13 from 6:30-8:00pm at Precision Physical Therapy in San Luis Obispo.
 
Attendees will have the opportunity to hear about cutting edge, non-surgical stem cell injection therapies, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapies and prolotherapy (also known as ligament reconstruction therapy). All are increasingly popular treatment option for sports injuries, lower back pain, knee pain, hip or hand/wrist pain.
 
With over 20 years as an ER practitioner, Dr. Jones has frontline experience with the worst injuries and understands the real value of regenerative medicine over the traditional invasive surgeries and medications. Dr. Jones will focus on the latest breakthroughs in regenerative pain relief that is an alternative to surgery or traditional pain treatments and addictive medications, provide information on how regenerative medicine could be a safer and more effective option for your joint pain, and how to avoid surgery and downtime. “My talk will allow participants to explore whether regenerative medicine might be right for them,” said Jones.
 
Jones recognizes that most regenerative therapies are optimized when coordinated with physical therapy, and that’s why he approached Dr. Dave Svetich, co-owner of Precision Physical Therapy and Wellness, to team up to have the talk at Precision’s clinic. “My goal is to get people back to what they love doing but sometimes treatment is tough to access. That’s why I was pleased to partner with Precision Physical Therapy because of their 48 Hour Appointment Guarantee,” said Jones.
 
A complimentary dinner will be served with the presentation. Those wishing to attend are invited to call the office of Regenerative Mind Body at (805) 556-7006.

(San Luis Obispo, CA) Precision Physical Therapy is proud to announce it is offering Parkinson’s Wellness Recovery (PWR! Moves) exercise classes twice a week taught by Dr. Kristen Carless, a PWR! Moves Certified Physical Therapist.
 
The classes began after the realization that there were very few consistent exercises classes for people diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in the San Luis Obispo area. The goal is to provide a space for the local Parkinson’s community to stay active while having fun.
 
Dr. Carless became involved after working with Parkinson’s patients through Maria Allen, Central Coast Home Health’s San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara County Parkinson Coordinator. The two have worked together to create more opportunity for the Parkinson community. “There are very few Parkinson specific research-based exercise skill training programs dedicated to maintaining and restoring skills that deteriorate and interfere with everyday movements and function in the local area,” said Allen, “I’m extremely excited that Precision Physical Therapy owners, Dr. Carless and Dr. Svetich, have seen this need and are so welcoming to the Parkinson community.”
 
PWR! Moves offers a flexible and functional exercise plan for Parkinson’s patient that targets many symptoms and is easily adjustable based on disease severity. PWR! Moves are performed as large movements with focus on posture and high effort, meant to assist in mobility.
 
PWR! Moves classes are taught at 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday at Precision Physical Therapy and Wellness located at 211 Tank Farm Rd., Suite A (across from Farm Supply). The cost of the class is $15 per person or $20 for two people.
