FOUNDER & LEAD HUMAN MOVEMENT SPECIALIST
Benjamin Yu
PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS - San Gabriel Valley Clinic
Benjamin Yu is a residency trained doctor of physical therapy who specializes in orthopedics. He believes that the current insurance-based model for physical therapy in the American healthcare system puts profits first and patients last, driving him to establish LPI Physical Therapy as a haven for people to receive the quality of care that they deserve.
Ben is extremely passionate about what he does, and feels most fulfilled when he can empower his patients to live to their fullest capacities. He believes physical function to be closely tied to emotional and spiritual well-being, and is therefore dedicated to optimizing movement to maximize the human experience for his patients.
In his free time, Ben is a recreational CrossFit athlete and triathlete. He is also a co-founder and CFO of The Movement Network, a non-profit organization focused on providing pro-bono physical therapy services and healthcare education to underserved populations across the United States. When he is not working (or working-out), Ben also enjoys attending live music shows, traveling the world, and playing a round or two of golf on the weekends.
