Born and raised in Walnut Creek, I graduated from Baylor University in Waco, Texas with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. I fell in love with outpatient physical therapy back in high school after tearing my rotator cuff. Through my 6 months in rehab, I felt truly cared for by the support staff and left inspired by the knowledge of the therapists and how profound an impact it’d had on me. From that point onwards, I developed a passion for the health care profession and helping others.
As a physical therapist, I take an evidence-based approach to my practice and am always trying expand my knowledge in the field. In the near future I plan on becoming an Orthopedic Certified Specialist to further help people with their injuries.
My mission as a Physical Therapist is to allow others to recover from chronic pain and return from injury so they can live their best lives.
Hi, I am Madison “Madi” Urtusuastegui, PTA. I have a well rounded background in the medical field working with Physical Therapists and Chiropractors. While working in the medical field I have learned how to empathize with patients and their needs. I earned my BA from San Francisco State University in Kinesiology with an emphasis on Exercise Physiology and my PTA degree from Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts. Originally from Southern California, I grew up playing soccer and tennis with a brief collegiate soccer career at Cal State East Bay. I fell in love with the Bay Area and all it has to offer.
My mission as a P.T.A is to get patients back to their daily lives pain free. In my spare time, I love exercising, camping and trying out new cooking recipes! (Ask me about my Gluten Free Cookies)
I am a Bay Area native and graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Exercise Biology. Then, I earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of the Pacific. I have experience in a broad range of treatments and modalities, working in private outpatient orthopedic clinics. Some of my favorite aspects of being a physical therapist are the one-on-one interaction with patients and guiding them as they progress through their treatment. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, going to concerts and sporting events, hiking, and cooking.
In middle school, my brother broke his leg while we were messing around in the back yard. My mom said that since I was partially to blame for his injury, then I was to be his main caretaker at home. Naturally, it started with “get me this and that, get me ice cream, etc.”, but eventually, I was helping him with his crutches and then his leg and balance exercises. I felt a sense of pride with my brother’s full recovery and decided to pursue P.T. professionally. After earning a B.S. in Biology, I studied at Boston University where I earned my MSPT in Physical Therapy.
I worked at and eventually managed an outpatient P.T. clinic in Vallejo, CA for ten years, then spent 7 plus years at a post-acute rehab center in Danville, CA where I gained experience in treating patients with strokes, amputations, total hip and knee replacements, fractures from falls and a host of other diagnoses.
Outside of work, I fancy myself as an amateur entomologist and have an extensive butterfly collection. As for my brother – he owns an ice cream shop in L.A.
Throughout my life I have always been athletic. I was a dancer for over 10 years, loved playing sports and being active. The moment I realized I wanted to have a career in physical therapy, was when I witnessed a home-health physical therapist work with my niece. At the time, it looked as if they were just playing, but little did I know it was so much more. As her visits progressed, she continued to get stronger and her mobility improved. Thus, my interest in physical therapy began. I attended Carrington College graduating with a degree in Physical Therapy Assisting. I love helping others and feel great happiness knowing I was a part of their rehabilitation process. I’m so happy to have found a career where I can make a difference in someone’s life.
During my free time, I love traveling and spending time with my friends and loved ones. I love exercising, going to the beach, and being outdoors!

I have experience in manual therapy of the extremities as well as the spine and trunk and include a hands-on approach with most of my patients.

Hey! I’m Ishani. I received my Bachelor’s in Physical Therapy from India and later received my DPT from Loma Linda University in California. My training and clinical experience has included working in several different settings such as outpatient orthopedics, in-patient acute and post-acute care, neurological rehabilitation and cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation. After working in these various settings I have found outpatient orthopedics to be an area of my prime interest.
I firmly believe that along with providing exceptional skilled physical therapy, values such as kindness, patience and holding unconditional positive regard toward patients is necessary for patient care. I strive to empower my patients/caregivers with lucid translation of my medical knowledge. It is important for me that my patients are able to understand their pain and purpose of physical therapy and therefore have complete control of their care. I try to approach my patients holistically and emphasize the importance of building small habits that will put them in the right direction toward their health. I have extensive experience in dealing with orthopedic post-operative conditions, overuse/repetitive strain injuries, chronic pain, postural dysfunctions, incorrect gait, work-related injuries and traumatic injuries. I am fluent in English, Hindi, Gujarati and Marathi. In my personal time I enjoy travelling, taking my dog on hikes, meditating, practicing yoga and painting.

Having been through multiple injuries and surgeries myself, I understand how severely pain can negatively affect your function and daily life. I am committed to ensuring every patient receives the best care in order to improve their quality of life.
Outside of the clinic, I enjoy weightlifting, hiking with my dogs, photography, and am a blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

I am sensitive to the word “suffering” which led me to choose this path to make a difference in people’s life. I am diligent and patient with my patients at the same time very stubborn in setting goals and pushing my patients to achieve them. I always tell this to my patients “Exercise is the crux of your rehab”.
Apart from being a clinician, teaching and learning has always been my passion therefore I tutor students at “Final frontier” to help achieve their dream of being a PT in the USA Alright, it’s time to know what your PT does for fun. I love music and so I sing and play my beautiful
piano. Besides I also love my husband with whom I hike, work out and travel off roading in our Jeep.
