Get back to running, lifting, and living pain-free without surgery or endless appointments. At Golden State Performance Physical Therapy, Dr. Maya Inozemtseva specializes in helping active individuals in Ventura recover from knee pain through personalized, one-on-one treatment plans that actually work.
Your Knee Pain Is Holding You Back
Whether you’re dealing with a sudden injury or chronic discomfort, knee pain affects everything—your workouts, your daily activities, even your sleep. You shouldn’t have to choose between living with pain or going under the knife.
Chronic Knee Pain
You’ve been dealing with knee discomfort for months (or years), and it’s getting worse. You’re worried surgery is your only option.
Post-Injury Frustration
You hurt your knee during a workout, race, or game, and now you can’t do the activities you love without pain or instability.
Limited Mobility
Simple movements like squatting, climbing stairs, or kneeling have become painful or impossible, and you’re tired of avoiding life.
We Help You Recover Strength and Mobility—Without Surgery
At Golden State Performance PT, we take a holistic approach to knee pain. Dr. Maya doesn’t just treat symptoms—she identifies the root cause of your pain, addresses movement dysfunction, and builds a personalized plan to get you back to peak performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions does Golden State Performance Physical Therapy treat?
We specialize in treating active individuals and athletes dealing with knee injuries, sports injuries, post-op recovery, chronic pain (neck, back, shoulder, knee), running-related injuries, and movement dysfunction. Our goal is to help you return to pain-free activity and high-level performance without surgery.
Do you accept insurance?
Golden State Performance PT is a cash-based practice, which means we don’t work directly with insurance. This allows us to provide one-on-one care for the entire session without authorization delays or visit limits. Many clients find the investment worth it for the personalized attention and faster results. Sessions are not passed off to aides or assistants—you get Dr. Maya’s full expertise every time.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first session includes a comprehensive movement assessment using tools like the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), a discussion of your goals and lifestyle, and a personalized treatment plan. We’ll use a combination of manual therapy, corrective exercises, and education to start your knee pain recovery journey.
How long are sessions, and how many will I need?
Sessions are typically 60 minutes of dedicated one-on-one time with Dr. Maya. The number of visits depends on your individual condition and goals—some clients with acute knee injuries see significant improvement in just a few sessions, while others with chronic conditions or post-op rehab benefit from ongoing care over several weeks.
Do you offer mobile or in-home physical therapy?
Yes! We offer concierge physical therapy services throughout Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Dr. Maya can come to your home, gym, or another convenient location that fits your schedule. This is especially helpful for patients recovering from knee surgery or those with mobility limitations.
