Meet The Team
Greg Cox, PT
Owner / Clinical Director
Greg is a graduate of Physical Therapy from Loma Linda University 1989 but it didn’t stop there. Opening his private practice in 1990 Greg got “busy” integrating into his community with geriatrics, orthopedic care, chronic pain management and community services teaching group fall prevention classes - yeah, he’s a busy guy. Greg specializes in evaluating and treating balance disorders and has developed and managed many hospital and clinic balance disorder programs nation-wide and is actively involved in both patient and professional PT education.
Along with clinical practice, Greg professionally consults and lectures on a wide variety of health and balance related topics to the medical community and public. You should see his passport! Educational publications, news interviews and radio lectures are just some of his credits. Greg has authored an extensive on-line interactive education course on vestibular disorders, the first of its type. Moreover, he conducts professional continuing education and certification classes in vestibular and balance disorders for MDs, and rehabilitation professionals. Whew! But enough of his bragging rights; what’s important to know is that Greg treats patients like friends and family.
Greg founded Arroyo Physical Therapy - TOTAL Rehab with the mindset of his “let’s fix this” enthusiasm. You can message Greg at greg@arroyopt.com if you need a personal chat.
