Why Venice and Marina del Rey patients choose video.
Venice and the Marina are surfers, skaters, founders and young families, most of them active and short on time. Leaking during workouts, postpartum recovery and back and hip pain from surfing and running are common reasons to book. A 45-minute video visit fits before the first meeting.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in California: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
