Dr. Natsuko W

About

Natsuko was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan where she was an avid athlete, being team captain in both basketball and soccer. She is currently the only Japanese speaking physical therapist in Orange County. Her interest in sports led her to come to the United States where she earned her B.S in Kinesiology from Syracuse University. She then earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree at Chapman University in Orange California. Natsuko fuses Eastern and Western medicine which allows her to optimize her patient’s outcomes through both an evidence-based and holistic approach. This allows her to treat each person as a whole, rather than just a list of symptoms or an injury. Her passion is finding the root cause of the patient’s problem so that she will not only temporarily fix the issue, but help the patient obtain their personal goals and to maximize their health outcomes. In her free time, she enjoys being outdoors, being active, and spending time with her friends and dog, Luca.This is our second location and newest addition to our physical therapy family.
