Your physical therapist

Dr. Suren Azizian,
PT DPT CSCS

Dr. Suren founded Curated PT after 16+ years in sports medicine and performance rehab — frustrated by a system that treated patients as numbers. His approach blends precise diagnostics, evidence-based manual therapy, and strength programming you’d expect from an elite performance coach.

Every session is 1-on-1 with him. No aides, no techs, no cookie-cutter protocols.

The honest problem

Why most physical therapy fails you

If you feel stuck after PT, it’s usually not your fault. The insurance model is built for volume — not outcomes.

Too many opinions, not enough clarity
Different provider every visit. New guess every time. No direction.
No personalized roadmap
Generic exercises, no milestones, no progression, no plan.
Progress that never shows
Weeks go by. Pain lingers. Effort is high but results are not.
You are treated like a number
Crowded sessions, divided attention, rushed appointments.

3
Fast, measurable progress
Objective tracking and progressive loading that translates to real-world movement and performance.

A personalized program between visits so momentum never stops.

I booked the free performance and pain assessment not expecting much, but it was the most in depth screen I have ever had. Suren found the root cause of an issue that had been holding back my golf swing and gave me simple steps that made an instant difference. I signed up for a package that day and have improved every week. The personalized approach and attention to detail make this place stand out.

Dr. Azizian worked with my five year old son after her fractured his leg. He was amazing! Came to our house and helped us learn techniques to do on our own. Extremely knowledgable and kind, my son loved him and improved in two weeks. Highly recommend!

Suren is an excellent Physical therapist. I had a bad left hip and a very tight right hamstring. Thru exercises, massage and dry needling, Suren healed my pain and gave me several exercises and rolling techniques to release my muscles! I highly recommend Suren!

Exceptional Physical Therapy Experience I recently had the pleasure of working with Dr. Suren, and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional physical therapist. After struggling with persistent knee pain that orthopedic doctors were unable to diagnose or treat effectively, I decided to seek out Dr. Suren's expertise. From the very first appointment, Dr. Suren demonstrated a deep understanding of the human body and a keen ability to identify the root cause of my issues. Through a thorough assessment, he was able to determine the source of my pain and develop a personalized treatment plan. Over the course of 6 weeks, Dr. Suren's approach was transformative. He worked diligently to address the underlying muscle imbalances and provide me with targeted exercises to strengthen the affected areas. The results were truly remarkable – my once anxiety-inducing knee pain has become almost non-existent, and I've regained a significant improvement in my quality of life. One of the standout aspects of Dr. Suren's care was his ability to educate and empower me throughout the process. He took the time to explain the mechanics of my condition and how the prescribed exercises would help alleviate the pain. This not only instilled confidence in me but also equipped me with the knowledge to better understand and manage my own health. Additionally, Dr. Suren's expertise extends beyond just treating the immediate issue. He also provided valuable guidance on how to properly brace my core during exercise, which has had a noticeable benefit in my overall fitness routine. I highly recommend Dr. Suren to anyone, especially athletes, who are seeking exceptional physical therapy services. His combination of clinical expertise, personalized care, and patient education make him a true asset in the field of physical therapy.

Dr. Suren really helped me with my hip. He takes a hands-on approach and all the sessions are one-on-one, which I really appreciated. The equipment he has is top-notch, and the whole space just has a great vibe that makes you feel focused on getting better. Highly recommend.

Dr. Suren is hands down the best physical therapist I’ve worked with. As an athlete, I’ve had my fair share of injuries and rehab experiences, but his comprehensive approach and attention to detail set him apart. He takes the time to thoroughly assess the issue, explains everything clearly, and tailors the treatment to your specific needs. His communication is top-notch, and I always felt confident in the plan he laid out. If you’re looking for a skilled PT who truly cares about your recovery and performance, I highly recommend Dr. Suren!

Just about 1 year ago I had multiple unexplained injuries, herniated discs, bilateral high grade gluteal tears and a fractured foot. I was 65 years old and prior to these injuries was in excellent health. I was out of work for 10 weeks, using a walker and other assistive devices to move. Suren was my physical therapist and one year later, I am back to myself, although I am now doing core training 3 times a week to keep myself where I progressed to. Suren was awesome in getting me my mobility back and he actually came with me to my gym to show me exercises that I could do to maintain the progress that we made with physical therapy. I honestly thought I would not be able to work again. Thanks to Suren I am back to me!
Patient Story

“For the first time in about four years, fifteen minutes without pain.”

“He dissected things. He made a plan. He told me what we were going to do.”
