Balanced Body Physical Therapist
HAROLD MANRIQUE, MPT
Founder, Physical Therapist
Harold especially enjoys the challenge of working with patients who have lost hope and stopped believing they could be out of pain, improve their functional mobility, or return to a sport or activity they love. For Harold, helping his patients regain their mobility and vitality is more than just a job – it’s a calling.
Harold graduated from Loma Linda University in 2003 with a Master of Physical Therapy degree. As a PT, he decided that he most enjoyed working in the outpatient orthopedic field allowing him to use his hands-on skills daily. He expanded his knowledge of effective manual techniques by completing a series of “Functional Soft Tissue Transformation” courses through the Gray Institute, as well as studying outside the field of physical therapy, completing a Rolfing seminar lead by Peter Schwind of Germany. Always curious about learning the most effective interventions, he continued his studies with courses through “Anatomy Trains”, led by Tom Myers, which helped him develop a deeper understanding of fascial and muscular patterns affecting movement and creating imbalance, resulting in pain. He remains passionate about understanding the intricacies of the human body and developing innovative methods to help patients with chronic conditions.
His resume includes treatment of professional athletes NHL, NFL, MLB and USA gold medalists. He especially enjoys the challenge of working with patients who have lost hope and stopped believing they could be out of pain, improve their functional mobility, or return to a sport or activity they love. Many of these patients have given up after trying an array of different interventions and not having success with more conventional methods of treatment or having poor surgical outcomes. For Harold, helping his patients regain their mobility and vitality is more than just a job – it’s a calling.
KRISTINA LEVIN, DPT
Physical Therapist
Kristina strives to provide the best care for her patients by addressing all aspects of their well-being, helping them access their own body’s ability to heal, get out of pain, and move better for much longer.
Kristina received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in 2022 and her Bachelor’s in Public Health Science from University of California, Irvine. She was introduced to the world of physical therapy through her own issues with back pain and experienced disappointment in the healthcare system and the lack of thorough care when it came to body aches and pains. She began working as a front office employee in PT and was so inspired by the success stories of patients that she embarked on the journey of becoming a therapist herself.
To help clients identify the true source of their pain or dysfunction, Kristina incorporates a variety of techniques such as functional soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release, corrective exercises, and education. She strives to provide the best care for her patients by addressing all aspects of their well-being, helping them access their own body’s ability to heal, get out of pain, and move better for much longer.
