Services
SCAR provides personalized, one-on-one physical therapy, fitness and sports performance training, and wellness programs that empower our patients, clients, and members to live their best lives. Jim and Michele Herkimer, both physical therapists, have owned SCAR since 2007, and the facility has been at its current location serving the communities of Orange County since 1973.
Sports Conditioning and Rehabilitation is recognized as the premier sports medicine facility in Orange County. Our Concussion Testing Program was designed to be an affordable resource for our community's athletes and athletic teams. The Concussion Testing Program at SCAR utilizes a full spectrum concussion testing approach to return to play.
Whether you are an Olympic gold medalist, weekend warrior or young athlete, SCAR has you covered. Not only do our physical therapist evaluate and treat most sports injuries effectively, but we also do preventative screening and sports performance enhancement. Sports injuries can really set you back from your favorite activities and competitions.
Dizziness can be caused by a variety of conditions, but typically occurs from poor perception in the joints/muscles combined with visual tracking problems and inner ear coordination with your vestibular system. When the brain receives all these mixed signals, it becomes confused and dizziness occurs.
If you have flat feet, high arches, pronation, low back pain, ankle pain, knee pain, plantar fasciitis (arch pain and/or heel pain), neuroma, or heel spurs, you could be a candidate for orthotics. Whether you want to run pain-free or simply to get through your day without being hindered by discomfort, our custom orthotics might be the solution!

My son needed some help recovering from calf tendinitis and the therapy and a one month rest from the rigors of playing catcher worked! Brandon and Margaret were excellent.

The physical therapists are wonderful. Mike and his strain-counter-strain technique relieve pain in such an amazing way. Jim is equally incredible with the knowledge he imparts and interest he takes in your life story. Everyone there I’ve met is kind, friendly and helpful. It’s my go to plaice for PT before any surgery or medication is prescribed. SCAR is by far the best.

I am extremely pleased with SCAR. The attention to detail from scheduling appointments to treatment program entirely is tailored to the specific needs of the patient. My PT Brent exhibits that unique skill set of possessing both professional expertise and personal empathy delivered in a friendly and personal manner that motivates me to attain my goals and expectations.
5+ Stars.

They are very knowledgeable! Caroline is not only a PT, but an athlete herself and has a depth of understanding. She's so helpful! And Margaret is very friendly but also pushes you to get the most out of your exercises. It's that extra push that you need when you are really tired and want to quit.

I have come to SCAR for many years, each time I sustain a physical injury. Jim's approaches and words of encouragement are always what I need. It is always a pleasure to work with a PT or just work out in this gym. Thank you, SCAR!
