Physical Therapy for the Mid Peninsula
For treatment of painful conditions, recovery of function, and injury prevention, we are dedicated to maximizing your well-being.
Physical therapy is a great first-line treatment for most muscle and joint problems.
Graston Technique® effectively breaks down scar tissue and reduces inflammation that causes pain and restricted mobility.
Kinesiology Tape is a latex-free, elastic porous cotton strip with an acrylic adhesive used for treating athletic injuries and a variety of other physical disorders.
If you are a youth, collegiate, elite, or professional athlete, when you are injured, you need a physical therapist with experience rehabilitating sports-related injuries.
This practice dates back over 2,000 years but has received recent attention due to its use by world-class athletes for injury relief.
People can suffer with chronic pain in a number of areas of the body. We commonly treat patients that have chronic pain.
Physical therapist directed treatment can assist patients with balance disorders in a number of ways.
Dear Loyal S.T.A.R. family members,
As we enter into the New Year, we are happy to formally acknowledge the new ownership of S.T.A.R Physical Therapy, and congratulate Howard and his family on his hard-earned retirement. Howard created a strong, 30-year legacy that we are eager to continue, providing high-quality physical therapy services to you.
Long-time employee of S.T.A.R. Jason Powell with his wife, Elizabeth Powell (also a Doctor of Physical Therapy), purchased S.T.A.R. effective September 1, 2024, with the predominant and overwhelming feeling of excitement.
Our mission is outstanding patient-centered care for the mid-peninsula area, that will be at the forefront of every decision we make. The goal is to be the preeminent sport and orthopedic physical therapy provider in the mid-peninsula while maintaining the charm of S.T.A.R. We believe that building on the current reputation, operations, and legacy of S.T.A.R. will be the platform to reach the changing and evolving needs of the local community.
For Jason, this is a complete moment. Having been a patient as early as 2002, he also functioned as a volunteer aide, staff aide, front desk receptionist, staff physical therapist, lead physical therapist, and clinical director at S.T.A.R. He has now had a hand in each part of S.T.A.R. over the last 20 years and worked diligently to help mold S.T.A.R. into its current identity. As Jason’s confidant and sounding board for the last 10 years, Elizabeth believes in the work S.T.A.R. has done and the vision and values of S.T.A.R. Jason will be the visible presence in the clinic, but Elizabeth will be and has been working just as diligently behind the scenes to craft the patient experience you feel at S.T.A.R.
We both look forward to being a positive presence and resource in the community we call home. It is through the outstanding staff at S.T.A.R. that we are confident we can continue to provide the care the community has come to expect and elevate the experience for returning patients and new patients alike. We look forward to helping each of you on your journey to physical health and achieving your full human capacity.
All our best,
Jason and Elizabeth Powell
