REVITALIZE YOUR MOVEMENT
Dr. Lydia Lee, PT, DPT, OCS
Hi, I’m Dr. Lydia Lee, a Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist and Doctor of Physical Therapy. I earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy through the UCSF/SFSU joint program and my Bachelor’s in Kinesiology from SFSU. With residency training and years of experience, I specialize in movement, performance, and recovery, helping you move freely, build strength, and keep doing what you love.
I believe in empowering you to tap into your body’s strength, optimize your performance, and do what you love with confidence and resilience. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or striving to reach your peak, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Staying active has always been a part of my life. I played competitive volleyball for many years and continue to enjoy the sport, along with weightlifting and fitness. These experiences inspire my commitment to helping others not only stay active but also reach and maintain their peak performance.
Born and raised in San Francisco, I’m proud to call the Bay Area home. When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me exploring, trying new foods, or spending time with my two fluffy dogs.
Let’s work together to unlock your potential and keep you doing what you love for years to come!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral?
Under California law, you may receive physical therapy through direct access for up to 45 calendar days or 12 visits, whichever comes first. If treatment is needed beyond that point, approval from a licensed physician or surgeon is required.
What can I expect during my first visit?
Your initial evaluation is a comprehensive 90-minute, one-on-one session designed to fully understand your condition and goals. During your visit, we'll discuss your health history, review your symptoms, perform a thorough movement and physical assessment, begin treatment when appropriate, and develop a personalized plan to help you recover and get back to doing what you love. All subsequent sessions are 60 minutes.
Do you accept insurance?
No. I am an out-of-network provider and am not contracted with any insurance companies.
This allows me to provide highly personalized, one-on-one care without the restrictions often imposed by insurance. Every visit is spent entirely with me—you'll never be double-booked or handed off to an aide or assistant. Our longer appointment times allow for a thorough assessment, individualized treatment, and a plan of care tailored to your unique goals rather than insurance-driven visit limits or treatment requirements.
How much are sessions?
The initial evaluation and follow up sessions are $249. I offer discounted package options for ongoing care.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions needed depend on your condition and plan. We will work together during our initial evaluation to determine your plan of care.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothing that allows the area being evaluated to move freely.
What conditions do you treat?
I work with active adults, recreational athletes, and competitive athletes experiencing a wide variety of orthopedic and movement-related conditions, including:
-
Joint pain
-
Muscle and soft tissue injuries
-
Tendon-related pain
-
Sports and recreational injuries
-
Balance and stability concerns
-
Pre and post-operative rehabilitation
-
Return-to-sport and return-to-activity
-
Injury prevention and performance optimization
Do you take FSA/HSA?
Yes, you can use your FSA/HSA card.
Where are you located?
I am located at 399 Grand Ave, Oakland, CA 94610 inside MYO Lab.
Is there parking?
Yes, there is a free parking lot behind the building. If the parking lot is full, there is metered parking available.
