Susan K. Casto PT, DPT, CFMT   Susan holds a BS in Physical Therapy from CSU Fresno and a doctorate in Physical Therapy. She is a Certified Functional Manual Therapist (CFMT) with the Institute of Physical Arts. Susan also has training in Cranial-Sacral Therapy, and TMJ dysfunction and has completed training with Peter Edgelow, PT.

Susan became interested in Physical Therapy because of a friend who she admired. There happened to be a Physical Therapy program offered in Fresno, where she lived, and she was one of 10% of the applicants accepted that year. After graduating, Susan moved to the Bay Area, where she has raised her 2 children. She has also been employed in various Physical Therapy roles at Kaiser Permanente since 1987.
Susan also became interested in education and nearly has her teaching credential.

Susan’s PT Philosophy
Susan strongly believes that you are the best resource and advocate for your own health. Genetics are dealt to us at birth, but choices regarding environment, diet, stress, activity level, habits and outlook can result in real physiological changes in our bodies. Susan’s treatment philosophy revolves around treating underlying structural problems, not just the painful symptomatic area(s), and then instructing changes in the patient’s movement through exercise to help maintain progress.
