Frequently Asked Questions

Greg Bogie PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS is a physical therapist based in Los Angeles specializing in sports rehab and performance training. 

After attending UCLA for undergraduate studies in physiological science, Greg trained at USC for physical therapy and completed an orthopedic residency to prepare for an orthopedic specialty. Greg is also a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS), certified tennis performance specialist (CTPS), and tennis serve specialist (TSS).

After working in multiple clinical settings, Greg traveled with a top-40 professional tennis player as a private physical therapist and strength and conditioning coach. Currently, Greg primarily practices in Los Angeles, treating athletes at all levels. We love helping active individuals get healthy and perform their best. 

We primarily work with active adults, youth athletes, and weekend warriors. We love working with a variety of athletes, including tennis players, baseball players, golfers, runners, basketball players, soccer players, football players, swimmers, and volleyball players.  We aim to help you bounce back stronger than pre-injury.

Our practice is not in-network with insurance companies, as this allows us to provide the best care possible for each patient's specific needs.  We provide Superbills for out-of-network reimbursement upon request. Patients can submit this Superbill to their respective insurance company, and reimbursement will depend on each specific insurance plan. 

We offer a variety of services including manual therapy, exercise prescription, and strength and conditioning training. 

We love collaborating with coaches to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of my plans for my clients. For tennis players, we offer serve analysis from a biomechanical perspective to help players make the most out of their game.

Yes. Pain doesn’t require an MRI finding to be real. Many performance-limiting issues come from movement, strength, and load-management problems, not structural damage.

Yes. Sessions are one-on-one, longer, and focused on:

• Identifying the relevant contributors to symptoms
• Progressive strength and movement training
• Sport- and activity-specific rehab

You won’t be passed off to aides or rushed through exercises.

Absolutely. Return-to-sport decisions are based on strength, capacity, movement quality, and confidence, not just time off or pain reduction.

That’s common. Many of our clients come to us after traditional PT didn’t fully resolve the issue. We often find missed strength, load, or movement gaps that weren’t previously addressed.

No, you do not need a referral to see a physiotherapist in California for the first 12 visits or 45 days of treatment. We will refer to appropriate medical specialists when indicated for best patient outcomes.
