ABOUT ME

Dr. Josh MacNaughton DPT, PT

I grew up in a medical family and have been a part of the physical therapy world most of my life. I knew I wanted to be a Physical Therapist in high school and I have continued to pursue my passion to this day. I received my Bachelor's degree in Exercise Physiology, with a minor in Psychology, from Fort Lewis College in Colorado. I then finished my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Tennessee State University in Nashville. Since then I have worked in outpatient private practice, hospital based outpatient, and inpatient physical therapy in both Colorado and California. My experience is primarily in orthopedic recovery after major and minor surgeries, traumatic injuries, and neurological diseases.

Hands on treatment including soft tissue mobilizations, joint mobilizations, IASTM/Graston, cupping therapy, and trigger point release.

Individualized home exercise programs addressing specific mobility limitations, muscular weakness, and tissue strength. These are given via handouts or digitally for easy accessibility at home.

Research based treatments that improve bloodflow, inflammation management, and pain management through ultrasound, Neuromuscular electrical stimulation, mechanical traction and more to come.

"I recently underwent double knee replacement surgery, and I am incredibly grateful for the
outstanding care and support I received from Josh MacNaughton throughout the entire process.
From the initial consultation and pre-surgery preparation to the intensive post-surgery
rehabilitation, Josh provided exceptional guidance and encouragement. Before the surgery,
Josh helped me build strength and flexibility, ensuring I was in the best possible condition for the
procedure. His expertise and personalized exercise plans made a significant difference in my
readiness and confidence going into surgery.
Post-surgery, Josh was instrumental in my recovery. He tailored a rehabilitation plan that was
both challenging and achievable; always pushing me to reach my full potential while being
mindful of my limits. His patience, encouragement, and attention to detail were crucial in helping
me regain mobility and strength in both knees.
Thanks to Josh I am now able to enjoy activities that I thought were no longer possible. He truly
went above and beyond, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of physical therapy."
