Chelsea Saville, PT, DPT

Hi! I am Chelsea. I was raised in Rocklin, but moved to San Diego to complete both my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and my Doctorate of Physical Therapy at San Diego State University. (Go Aztecs!) After living in San Diego for 13 years I am back and excited to explore all that Placer county has to offer.  During my doctoral program I participated in developing, executing, and publishing a research project focusing on the importance of pelvic floor and core strength from an orthopedic point of view for populations including low back pain, hip dysfunction, and postpartum women. Throughout my years as an orthopedic physical therapist, I have been lucky enough to experience treating a wide variety of populations including those seeking treatment for general musculoskeletal impairments, balance training, post operative rehab, neurological disorders, return to sport, and injury prevention. 

As a former competitive volleyball player, I know it is important to work directly with patients to create a well-rounded rehabilitation protocol unique to each patient’s goals and needs. My favorite part of being a physical therapist is helping people understand the anatomy and mechanism of their pain so that they can feel empowered to make meaningful and prolonged progress. When not in the clinic you can find me playing volleyball, seeking out the best iced coffee in the area, or exploring with my husband and 2 super fluffy dogs.
