Services
Co-Founder and president of New Light Physical Therapy And Wellness Center Dr. Ali Etessam says becoming a physical therapist was a natural career choice for him. He transferred that passion, coupled with his genuine joy of working with people and helping them become pain-free, into a life work. Ali received his doctorate of physical therapy (DPT) from Rocky Mountain University, Utah.
At New Light Physical Therapy and Wellness Center, the evidence-based physical therapy is delivered with a one-on-one approach that centers of fixing the immediate problem and then preventing it from reoccurring. The Irvine, CA-based clinic, stresses their goal to improve the quality of life of their patients by ensuring they move easily and pain-free.
Back pain affects more than 80 percent of American adults at some point of their lives. More than 50 percent of people experience neck pain. Both conditions can shrink our lives as we begin to compensate for our pain with decreased activities and withdrawal from things we once enjoyed.

Our evidence-based treatment is designed to find the source of your back and neck pain and treat it with the appropriate therapies to help you restore normal living and working.
A gait analysis helps in the assessment of patients who have conditions that impact their mobility, especially their ability to walk. It is also used on athletes to help them run more effectively or to correct posture disadvantages. New Light Physical Therapy and Wellness Center also offers a falls assessment program to help patients determine if they have a higher probability of falling and the steps they can take to lower the odds.
Because an aged body is physiologically different from a younger one, we offer geriatric physical therapy as a unique service. We are focused on helping our senior patients live to their optimal capability and functionality. We offer special therapies to deal with dizziness and balance issues as well as ones to reduce pain and restore mobility to those with chronic conditions.

Not actual Physical Therapy. In PT, you heal by challenging the injury. At New Light, you get hooked up to a machine for 15 minutes, and are then discharged for the day. I was lucky to see the Therapist twice during the course of my treatment. Getting information out of him was very difficult. If I didn't have a long list of questions, I would have left there with the same amount of knowledge on my injury and the recovery process as I did when I arrived. My roommate is experiencing the same, frustrating treatment that I received. The technicians are friendly. This is the only redeeming quality

It's so nice being able to see my progress in person and by Dr. Ali. Although I am in there to work on my bodies abilities, Ali is able to give me recommendations for other ailments I suffer. Overall I couldn't be happier.
