Tony Torrez, PT, DPT

Senior Staff Physical Therapist

Tony found his passion for physical therapy following the end of his Marine Corps career as he wanted to continue his public service with a focus into the healing arts, and after being introduced to Massage Therapy through his mother, his wife noticed his excitement when working with more acutely injured patients. He received his B.S. in Kinesiology at Notre Dame de Namur University, and his Doctorate of Physical Therapy at The University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences. Since his graduation, he has been working with a wide variety of orthopedic injuries with a focus on integrating his massage therapy and physical therapy skills as a Manual Therapist, and has been building his expertise in myofascial decompression and pelvic health therapy. He wants to develop his skills in order to finish his Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner Certification (PRPC) requirements, and earn his Manual Therapy Certification (MTC), his Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), and Orthopedic Specialist Certification (OCS) to better integrate a more holistic and in-depth approach to healing, and better educate his clients within all stages of athleticism from dormant to professional status to prevent reinjury. When he is not refining his skills or running clinics, he likes to partake in deep conversations, venture to the beach, watch indie films, play video games, and visit microbreweries/local eateries with his wife.

Kat Dayharsh, PT, DPT

Physical Therapist

Kat found her passion for physical therapy and helping people get back to living the life they want to live following a series of injuries that resulted in several years of physical therapy. PT gave Kat back her life when she couldn’t see how she’d ever be active and pain-free again. As a Bay Area native and a non-traditional student, she completed her BS in Kinesiology from San Jose State University, and her Doctor of Physical Therapy from Pacific University. With a passion for learning and an endless curiosity, Kat combines evidence based practice and treating the whole person, not just one body part. Along the way she found her areas of special interest in physical therapy to include pelvic health, hypermobility spectrum disorders, and providing accessible and affirming care for neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ individuals. Kat has completed APTA’s level 1 pelvic health coursework, and has experience working with individuals assigned female at birth with urinary issues, pelvic organ prolapse, and pelvic pain. She plans to continue her pelvic coursework to further her ability to work with all types of pelvises. She completed her second year Capstone research on pelvic floor physical therapy after gender affirming surgery, her third year Capstone on hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and is eager to continue her research on her own time. When Kat is not working she enjoys spending time with her cats, family, and friends. Kat is a self-proclaimed nerd with a passion for fantasy and sci-fi, and also enjoys spending time with her horse and learning ballroom dancing.
