Eastern Plumas Health Care’s Therapy and Wellness Center announces its newest team member: physical therapist Max Barroso.
Barroso received his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree and completed his sports residency training at the University of Southern California. He is a board-certified clinical specialist in sports and orthopedic care.
As well as a variety of other physical therapy diagnoses, Barroso treats sports and orthopedics injuries for all ages in EPHC’s outpatient clinic and for those recovering from injury and illness at Eastern Plumas Hospital.
“I am so excited to join the EPHC Therapy and Wellness team!” said Barroso. “I look forward to meeting new patients and serving the community of Portola and surrounding area.”
His training and over 12 years of clinical practice allow Barroso to target orthopedic injuries and repairs as well as sport-specific injuries. Physical therapy helps to facilitate improvement in the ability for a patient to move, manage pain and restore function.
“We are so pleased that Max said ‘yes’ to the opportunity of furthering his career at Eastern Plumas Health Care,” said Jim Burson, director of rehabilitation. “With his specialties in sports and orthopedics, Max will bring a whole new level of therapy to our outpatient services. In the short time since his hire, he’s already proven to be a great team member.”
Patients who need rehabilitation services may receive a referral from their primary care provider. For more information about the Therapy and Wellness Center visit EPHC.org or call directly at 530-832-6502.
