Why Santa Ynez Valley patients choose video.

Over the San Marcos Pass from Santa Barbara, the Santa Ynez Valley is ranches, vineyards and horse country. Riders with pelvic and back pain, winemakers and farm families with back pain, and retirees with leaking or urgency are seen one-on-one by video.

One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in California: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
