Acerca de

Hi, I'm Dr. Cha Deukyoung, PT, DPT, Founder and Clinical Director of CHA Physical Therapy. With over 25 years of experience in orthopedic manual therapy and holistic rehabilitation, I've dedicated my career to helping patients achieve optimal function and wellness. Throughout my career, I've worked across acute care hospitals, school systems, and private clinics, which has allowed me to develop a deep and integrative approach to care. I've created what I call the Cha Method—my signature approach that blends evidence-based techniques with movement science, breathwork, and postural re-education to restore balance and optimize function. As a dedicated APTA Clinical Instructor, I'm passionate about sharing knowledge and mentoring the next generation of physical therapists. When I'm not in the clinic, you'll find me practicing martial arts or enjoying the outdoors—pursuits that reflect the same focus and compassion I bring to my work as a teacher, healer, and family man.Dr. Deukyoung Cha, PT, DPT, is the Founder and Clinical Director of CHA Physical Therapy, with over 25 years of experience in orthopedic manual therapy and holistic rehabilitation.
