“It all started with a simple, but powerful, idea. Helping people recover better under our care than anywhere else in the world. That vision has carried us through every step of the journey, and today, we are proud to lead a premier neurological physical therapy clinic right here in the heart of North County San Diego. Every day, we get to live out my mission — celebrating the wins, both big and small, of the incredible people we have the privilege to care for.” Dr. Matthew Audia, PT and Founder of Audia Physical Therapy
