Kineci - Health In Motion

Kineci - Health In Motion We help people gain freedom from pain to do what they love with comfort and confidence. Welcome to KINECI
Thank you for finding us.

Our KINECI team works with people from all walks of life who are dealing with movement and/or pain related problems. Each has their own unique situation but all simply want to be able to feel better and do more with confidence. We’re here to help you heal and hone your physical wellbeing. Doing so is a special honor and privilege that we value greatly and take seriously. KINECI specializes in Move

ment Health & Performance. We do more than just treat symptoms or offer generic exercise protocols. Rather, we identify problems, find causes and fix them using your movement as medicine. Most movement related symptoms have a biomechanical cause, not biochemical. Medications can help relieve symptoms, for a while, but only a personal, movement-prescription will fix the problem.

No two people walk into physical therapy with exactly the same problem, so treatment shouldn’t look exactly the same either.

At Kineci, patients spend their sessions one-on-one with Dr. Steve the entire time. That gives him the opportunity to understand not just where something hurts, but how you move, what may be contributing to it, and what you want to get back to doing.

Because he works with you throughout the entire session, treatment can adapt as you do; whether that means hands-on treatment, targeted movement and strengthening, education, or a combination of approaches.

Good physical therapy isn’t about following the same protocol for everyone. It’s about understanding the individual and figuring out what you need to move and feel better.

Ready to get started with Dr. Steve? Call or text us at (805) 284-9449 to schedule a FREE 10-minute consultation.

Sitting is a normal part of everyday life, but spending long periods in the same position can leave your body feeling stiff, uncomfortable, or just ready to move.

The good news? You don’t need to avoid sitting altogether (most of us can't anyways). Small changes throughout the day can help.

Try changing positions regularly, standing up when you can, taking a short walk, or adding a few minutes of movement between longer periods of sitting.

Rather than focusing only on finding the “perfect” posture, think about giving your body more variety throughout the day.

The goal isn’t to never sit , it’s to keep moving.

🐾 Happy National Dog Day from Kineci’s most relaxed team member!

Meet Henrietta, our unofficial Supervisor & Coach. She’s a regular around the clinic, where she specializes in bringing joy, accepting all available love, and demonstrating a level of relaxation the rest of us could probably learn from. 😂

As a tripod, Henrietta also knows a thing or two about adapting and continuing to move through life in her own way. But these days, she takes her coaching responsibilities very seriously: relax, enjoy the moment, and never turn down a good nap. 💚

All questions may be directed to Henrietta. She’ll respond when she wakes up. 💤

Do you have a dog you’re celebrating today? Tell us about them in the comments! 🐶👇

Kineci FAQ: Do I need a referral for physical therapy?

In many cases, no! California allows Direct Access, which means you can see a physical therapist without first getting a referral from your doctor.

One thing to keep in mind: if you plan to seek out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance company, your plan itself may require a referral or prescription. We recommend checking directly with your insurance provider to understand your specific requirements.

Have another physical therapy question? Drop it in the comments or send us a message, we may answer it in an upcoming Kineci FAQ! 💬

What makes Kineci different? 🌿

✨ A full hour with your physical therapist.
Your PT is with you for your entire one-hour appointment, giving them the time to listen, understand what’s going on, and provide truly individualized care.

✨ A whole-person approach.
Your body doesn’t work in isolated pieces, and we don’t treat it that way. We look at how everything works together and can address multiple areas as part of your care.

✨ A bigger goal than simply relieving pain.
We want to help you feel the freedom and confidence to move, get back to the things you love, and experience more joy in your life.

Ready to see what a different approach to physical therapy can feel like?
