Our goal is to provide accessible physical therapy, wellness, and health to the uninsured/under-insured members of the community in the Sacramento area. Student physical therapists work alongside licensed physical therapy faculty to provide free physical therapy services. The clinic takes place in person at Folsom Hall, 7667 Folsom Blvd, room 1055.
