YOUR BODY IS BUILT TO MOVE

WE HELP YOU KEEP IT THAT WAY

At my clinic, I believe the human body is a finely tuned engine — and like any engine, it needs expert care to stay running at its best.

As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, my goal is to help you move, feel, and live stronger. Through personalized, hands-on treatment, we work together to restore function, ease pain, and help you reach your personal goals — whether that’s returning to your favorite sport or simply moving through life with more freedom and less discomfort.

At the Disability Rehabilitation Center, we proudly serve patients seeking expert physical therapy in West Hills and surrounding areas.

MEET DR. ARLEN MINASSIAN

I’ve always been drawn to the science of movement and the healing arts — and to the idea that physical medicine can help people lead fuller lives without relying on costly surgery or medication.

I began my career as a Physical Therapy Assistant, then pursued my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Loma Linda University, one of the top programs in Southern California. My approach combines both clinical expertise and strong human values — I believe listening to each patient’s story is the fundamental element necessary to deliver great therapy.

In my practice, every treatment plan is customized. Just as no two bodies are the same, neither are any two recovery journeys. We focus on what matters to you — whether that’s returning to competitive tennis, improving your balance and mobility, or simply living a pain-free life.

WHAT TO EXPECT AS A PATIENT

Your first visit includes a comprehensive evaluation and a personalized treatment plan — with hands-on therapy starting that same day.

We always provide one-on-one sessions, ensuring you receive consistent, attentive care. Building a strong rapport helps us support your progress both in the clinic and through your home program — so you stay on track between sessions.

Throughout your treatment, we educate you on injury prevention, postural alignment, and proper movement patterns — so you can move with greater ease and avoid future injuries.

Here, your treatment is based on you — your goals, your body, and your life — not on a preset protocol. We take the time to understand your needs and tailor each session to support your journey toward better movement and better living.

Arlen Minnasian has been my physical therapist for the past four months. From the first phone call, Julia the receptionist made me feel comfortable. When I met Arlen, he was calming, positive and very knowledgeable and continues to be.
