About

I am a Husband, Father of two boys and daughter, brown belt in Brazilian jui jitsu and weekend warrior soccer player. I graduated in 2002 from Mt. Saint Mary's College Master of physical therapy program. I obtained my orthopedic clinical specialty in 2006 after working with seven orthopedic surgeons advancing rehabilitation practices. I received my post professional doctorate in 2012 with focus on Administration and Business management. My passion is simply to keep people moving: By alleviating their pain through education, manual treatment and therapeutic exercises Limiting the effects of athletic injury, such as concussion, through education, assessment, rehabilitation Addressing their balance dysfunction at the basic level transitioning to higher level balance skill set, Working with the individual who wants to perform at their highest level incorporating neurological and orthopedic principles to identify limitations and overcome themAdvanced Balance Studio began to serve you,the South Bay community, when and where physical therapist managed rehabilitation was needed, wether it was in your home or in our San Pedro studio. We began utilizing NASA based technology to assess our client's postural control as they worked effectively to rehabilitate from injuries. Our client's needs focused our treatment planning and we continue to empower our clients through education and individualized care. Over the years, we find clients come out moving and feeling better than ever before. We look forward to helping you become part of our history of success.

I highly recommend Advanced Balance Physical Therapy! The staff is wonderful and the facility is immaculate! I was apprehensive on my first appointment after back surgery but Gerard was patient and caring and took very good care of me! I feel so much stronger and although I completed my sessions I will continue my therapy at home with the exercises they gave me!!!

Dr. Donayre helped me so much in my recovery from a hip replacement. I was still in a bit of discomfort (limping) when I began my sessions there, and by the time of my last session I was very grateful for profound improvement. Advanced Balance Studio was out-of-network for me, although my insurance did pay something toward the cost. Ultimately, my portion of the expense was doable and I'm glad I chose this place. They were never overbooked, and the studio was always peaceful and calm. I loved the vibe. It was always a pleasure to go. The exercises were - for the most part - easy to remember and I did them religiously. I'm positive that they are partly why I'm now back to hiking (after a year of limping with a cane and two months after a hip replacement). I highly recommend this place for physical therapy.
