Dr. Wayne Wu: Physical Therapist in Pasadena

Dr. Wayne grew up in the San Gabriel Valley with deep roots in his community. After graduating from Touro University with his Doctorate in Physical Therapy, he decided to move back and bring his skills as an expert clinician to the area he holds near to his heart.

He has the reputation of not only a specialist in the field of physical therapy, but as a trustworthy doctor which builds long lasting relationships with his clients. Dr. Wayne has developed top level evaluation and treatment skills over the years to ensure his patients receive the best quality of care.

Dr. Wayne's motivation to help others is not just with rehabilitating their injuries, but by also creating a bio-psychosocial model that will help with lifestyle changes and long lasting benefits to impact their quality of life.

Dr. Wayne is a committed Los Angele Lakers fan, and loves exploring Southern California in search of the next best local brewery with his friends and family. He finds balance in his day-to-day by revisiting his favorite spots in the SGV & LA and seeking adventure out in nature.

Before I met Dr. Wayne Wu, I had been having significant knee pain for several months.  One weekend, I  had an episode where I couldn't bear any weight on one of my knees and needed assistance getting around.  Driving was difficult.  Once the acute episode subsided, I went to my doctor who told me I had arthritis and to put a brace on my knee when I was going to exercise.  Basically, she told me to accept my knee pain as a natural part of aging.  She did not think PT was indicated.  That's when I took matters into my own hands and looked into Health Fit.

I was paired with Dr. Wayne and it has been an incredible experience. I've learned so much on how to take care of myself. Dr. Wayne is genuinely optimistic and wants what's best for his patients. He listens, works with the goals you've set for your physical health and gives you recommendations for ways to work on your goals outside of therapy.

Initially, I expected to work with Dr. Wayne over the course of months but after six sessions, I have graduated!  My gait is back to normal and I do not fear walking down a long flight of stairs. I highly recommend Dr. Wayne Wu.  He demonstrates a high level of care that far exceeded my expectations.  I recommend him without reservation!
