For over 30 years, Scarpelli & Associates, formally Scarpelli & Kakehashi, offers expertise in orthopedic manual physical therapy in San Francisco's Castro District. With the retirement of my partner, Lisa Kakehashi, came the loss of an incredible business partner; however, this has also become an exciting opportunity to bring in a group of eager practioners who are dedicated to helping you reach vibrant, long-lasting health.
We provide in-depth, one-on-one assessments and tailored treatments in private rooms--no factory set treatments, group sessions, or PT aids. Additionally, our close-knit staff collaborates with each other and your other health care providers to offer a team approach to your care. Ultimately, empowering you to reach your best musculoskeletal health is our top priority.
Scarpelli & Associates has been awarded the Winner of the 2014 San Francisco Outstanding Clinic Award, 2014 Patient's Choice for outstanding clinic award, and for four years running, one of the Top 3 Physical Therapists in SF for 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020.

Elizabeth Scarpelli has improved my health significantly.
She has treated both my husband and I at different times over the last 15 years.
We have referred her to many friends who have in turn seen her and been happy.
When we speak with doctors and specialists in San Francisco, they all recognize her name and express the highest respect.
Liz' warmth and humor are pretty healing, too!
After having treatment from another facility where I saw multiple therapists, I found Liz Scarpelli!
Hands down the best therapist I have seen and only 3 sessions I feel better already from a bulging disc.

You will provide us with your referral for physical therapy if you have one.
If you don't have a referral, let us know when you schedule your first visit with us (note - a referral is not always needed).

This is done to check for the presence of tenderness, swelling, soft tissue integrity, tissue temperature, inflammation, etc.
Range of Motion (ROM) - the therapist will move the joint(s) to check for the quality of movement and any restrictions.
