Our story
All patients are treated like Olympians. That’s not a slogan, it’s the standard.
Where we come from
Olympic and U.S. athletic trainer and therapist Kathy Coakley founded COASTherapy in 1987 around a promise: all patients are treated like Olympians. The same focus, the same tools, and the same focused attention an elite athlete gets, whether you’re chasing a podium or chasing your grandkids.
That’s why our clinics in Huntington Beach, Orange, and Anaheim Hills carry more than the usual: acupuncture, cryotherapy, ImPACT concussion testing, sports medicine, and personal training.
The clinician-led difference
Every leader at our practice, from clinic director to CEO, is a licensed physical therapist. Every clinical decision is made by someone who has treated patients.
Empowered clinicians providing the best evidence-based care to achieve outstanding outcomes for our patients.
Built from zero, built for patients
Founder Aaron Kraai started folding towels at a physical therapy clinic at age 14. He opened the first Doctors of Physical Therapy clinic in 2005 and built the company from nothing, with one goal: a PT organization where clinicians lead, patients win, and excellence is non-negotiable.
Today that network spans clinician-led clinics nationwide. COASTherapy is proud to be part of it, same trusted local team, now backed by a national standard of care.
