Still Running Through Pain — or Not Running at All?
Generic PT isn’t built for athletes like you.
Pain That Keeps Coming Back
Ignoring recurring running pain can turn a manageable issue into a persistent injury, making every increase in mileage harder and keeping you from training consistently.
Losing Strength and Performance
Taking time off without addressing the root cause may calm symptoms temporarily, but underlying movement or strength problems can remain — limiting your speed, endurance, and confidence.
More Time on the Sidelines
Continuing to run through pain or relying on generic treatment can prolong recovery. Without a plan designed around your running mechanics and goals, you may spend more time rehabbing and less time doing what you love.

Real Results from Ventura Athletes
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I reached out to Golden State PT with some severe pain in my foot. I was limping and couldn’t put any weight on it. Within a short time window, Maya organized an initial call to ask me about my activity levels, how the injury happened and more. We met and she diagnosed me with Achilles tendinitis, after a series of range of movement and strength tests. I was set specific rehabilitation and strength work 2-3 times a week along with in person treatment. There were some very fast results.”

“Maya really helped me manage my migraines and neck pain from tension and overuse! I’m now back to lifting without restrictions and I’m feeling stronger than ever with Maya’s guidance. I’m so happy to no longer be limited by my pain. Highly recommend!”
Vanessa Urquilla

“Maya was extremely professional in working with me and being a great PT—pushing me! I needed that! My neck/shoulder and all that feels so much better—reborn. My only regret is that I should’ve booked an appointment 6 weeks earlier!!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
Golden State Performance Physical Therapy is a cash-based practice. We do not bill insurance directly, which means no authorization delays, no visit limits, and no surprise bills — just transparent pricing and one-on-one care from the moment you walk in. Many patients find that the value of a full 60-minute session with a DPT far outweighs the co-pays and limitations of in-network care. HSA and FSA cards are typically accepted.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
We pride ourselves on fast access. Most new patients are seen within 24–48 hours of their first call. You can also start with a complimentary 15-minute discovery call to discuss your situation and determine the best next step before committing to a full evaluation.

Every session is one-on-one with Dr. Maya — a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Athletic Trainer — for the full 60 minutes. No aides, no exercise bikes in the corner, no rushing through a checklist. We use slow-motion video running analysis, SFMA movement screening, and progressive corrective exercise to find the root cause of your pain and build a personalized plan around your specific sport, schedule, and goals.
