Move Better. Live Healthier. Connect More.
Our Personalized Fitness Programs Can Help You Achieve Your Goals
Many patients at Peak Orthopedic Physical Therapy visit us because they need guidance in recovering from an injury or managing a chronic condition. However, our team can do more than help you return to baseline. With our comprehensive fitness programs, we can also help you achieve a higher level of health and wellness.
While we can certainly help you improve your physical health, our fitness program offers a unique social benefit as well: it gives you a chance to train alongside other members of the Torrance, Redondo Beach and Rancho Palos Verdes, CA community. As you build strength and enhance mobility and endurance, you can also make new friends who share your drive to stay active and healthy.
Patient Success
“Because of numbness in my feet, I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, which also affected my balance, causing me to fall on several occasions. The exercises here have helped tremendously with strengthening my leg and core muscles, making me more stable. I am also much more aware of how I walk and climb stairs, being conscious to do these carefully and correctly. I have had other PT experiences elsewhere and have found Peak to be more comprehensive with a greater variety of exercises. I have already recommended Peak to others!” – Laurie A.
Why Ongoing Fitness Matters
Physical therapy is a wonderful option for addressing immediate musculoskeletal issues, from joint pain to repetitive use injuries. However, long-term health comes from staying active and strong on a daily basis.
The fitness program at Peak Orthopedic Physical Therapy bridges the gap between physical therapy and daily workouts. Our customized fitness programs offer several great benefits, including:
- Maintaining the strength and mobility regained during therapy
- Improving cardiovascular health through safe, guided workouts
- Protecting joint health by keeping them moving and well-lubricated
- Building resilience so your body can handle daily challenges without injury
- Encouraging consistency by creating a set time and place for activity
- Boosting mental health through social interaction and physical activity
With a consistent fitness routine, you’re better equipped to manage stress, recover from physical strain, and keep doing the activities you love, whether that’s hiking, gardening, playing a favorite sport, or simply keeping up with your kids.
The Power of Community Fitness
One of the biggest challenges people face when committing to an exercise program is staying motivated. If you struggle with motivation, you might feel like it’s your fault. But the truth is, it’s hard for anyone to stay motivated when exercising alone. That’s why we encourage a sense of community as part of our fitness program.
There’s something unique about exercising alongside others who understand the importance of regular exercise. The shared encouragement, friendly competition, and mutual accountability can make all the difference as you work toward your goals.
When you work out in a group, it’s easier to stay committed, push yourself, and celebrate small victories. In fact, people who engage in regular physical activity within a supportive community are more likely to stick with their routines long-term.
When you show up at Peak Orthopedic Physical Therapy, you’re not just showing up for yourself. You’re showing up for your teammates, and they’re showing up for you.

Welcome to Our Redondo Beach Team, Josh Demery, DPT!
We’re excited to welcome Josh Demery, DPT to our Peak Orthopedic Physical Therapy family in Redondo Beach! Josh earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree with honors from Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia in 2018. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, he also holds a B.A. in Pre-Physical Therapy and Exercise Science from Baldwin Wallace University. Before becoming a physical therapist, Josh gained hands-on patient care experience as a nurse assistant in an inpatient orthopedic unit at The Cleveland Clinic — where he discovered how much he loved helping people heal and regain their independence.
Since then, Josh has built a well-rounded clinical background, working in skilled nursing, sports rehabilitation, acute outpatient care, and orthopedics. He even spent two years as a travel physical therapist, treating patients across Central and Southern California, which gave him a wide perspective on patient care and recovery.
Outside the clinic, Josh is passionate about health and fitness. He enjoys soccer, weightlifting, cycling, hiking, and camping. As a proud Manchester United fan and loyal supporter of all Cleveland sports teams, he brings the same energy and team spirit to his patients that he does to cheering on his favorite athletes.
We’re thrilled to have Josh join our Redondo Beach team. His expertise, compassion, and enthusiasm for living an active lifestyle make him a perfect fit for our community. Be sure to say hello when you see him in the clinic — he’s excited to meet you and help you reach your goals!
