Wellness Programs in Redlands
Physical therapy has an end point. You get the shoulder back, you get discharged, and then the harder question starts: what do you do with the other fifty weeks of the year. Most people answer it with a gym membership and a guess. The two wellness programs here are the other answer, and they run the way our therapy runs, one on one, taught rather than prescribed.
The Owner's Manual to Your Body.
That is the name the program has carried since it was written, and it is meant literally. About 12 one hour visits, one on one, across four components: flexibility, cardiovascular health, strength and conditioning, and nutrition. It was co-authored by our registered dietitian, who has been running it here for more than seven years. Nothing about it is a class, a handout, or a plan copied off a shelf: it is built around your own medical history, genetics, exercise preferences and goals. You are taught how your particular body currently works and what to do with that information once the visits are over.
Flexibility
Where you are genuinely restricted, joint by joint, rather than a stretching routine you found somewhere and half remember. You learn which positions matter for your body, how they should feel, and how often they are worth doing.
Cardiovascular Health
How to work at an intensity that is useful to you instead of one printed on a chart on the wall. The point is to know what your own effort should feel like, and how to build on it without paying for it the next day.
Strength and Conditioning
Loading tissue on purpose, with technique coached in the room while it is happening rather than corrected weeks later. The work starts at what you can currently handle and moves as that changes.
Nutrition
Time with our registered dietitian about how you actually eat, not a meal plan handed across a desk. If you want the detail on how that side works on its own, see nutrition counseling.
$85 per visit, or $800 for the full 12 visit package paid up front, which saves you $220. The program is HSA, HRA and FSA eligible. Start with a free 15 minute consultation with a doctor of physical therapy or our registered dietitian: no referral needed, and you leave knowing whether the program fits what you are actually trying to do.
Three visits, one per area.
Twelve visits is the right size for some people and too big an ask for others. Citrus Fitness answers the same three questions in one visit apiece: what your joints can actually do, what effort should feel like, and what weight you should start at. It is a sensible place to start if you are not yet sure the longer program is for you, and none of it is wasted if you decide later that it is.
Flexibility and Mobility
One session to find the two or three restrictions actually worth working on. You leave with a short list you will keep rather than a routine you will not.
Cardiovascular Health
One conversation to set a target effort you can judge without a device, sized for three visits rather than a season of training.
Strength and Resistance Training
One coached session to set your starting weight and clean form on the lifts that matter, so you are not guessing once the visits are over.
$250 for the 3 visit Citrus Fitness package. The same free 15 minute consultation applies, with a doctor of physical therapy or our registered dietitian, and it is usually enough to work out which of the two programs is the right size for you.
How you pay for it.
The Wellness Program and Citrus Fitness are both self pay rather than billed to insurance, and both are HSA, HRA and FSA eligible, so a pre-tax card covers either one in full. Standard outpatient physical therapy is a separate conversation: we are contracted with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, ASH, Blue Shield of California, Health Net, Kaiser Permanente, Loma Linda Managed Care, Medicare, Optum/UHC, TriCare and TriWest, and you can start that without a referral for up to 45 days or 12 visits, whichever comes first. Full carrier list on our insurance page.

Nutrition Counseling
One on one time with our registered dietitian, available on its own or as the nutrition component inside the Wellness Program.
Gym Access
$75 a month for patients and graduates of either program, so the floor you learned on stays available once the visits are finished.
