DASH helps active adults and athletes get out of pain and back to performing — through a personalized approach to physical therapy & performance training rooted in strength, movement, and lasting results.
This Isn't Your Average PT Practice
Most physical therapy is built around the session. You come in, you do your exercises, you go home. What happens between visits is largely up to you — a sheet of exercises, maybe a follow-up appointment in a week or two. The gap in between is where most recoveries stall.
At DASH, the session is just one part of the process. The real value is in everything that surrounds it — the programming, the accountability, the ongoing support, and the direct access to your provider when something comes up. Recovery doesn't pause when you leave the clinic. Neither does your care.
The Hybrid Model
Most PT gives you an hour. DASH gives you a system.
The Hybrid Model blends one-on-one in-person physical therapy with digital coaching and programming — so your support doesn't stop when the session ends. It's a fully coordinated approach that combines hands-on treatment, a customized strength and recovery plan, and round-the-clock access to your provider.
Every component is built around you — your training, your schedule, your goals. Not a generic protocol. A real plan that moves with you.
This is what separates rehab from results — having everything working together in one coordinated system.
How It Works
Step 1 — The Discovery Call
Before anything else, we talk. This is a chance to hear about what's going on — your history, what you've already tried, and what hasn't worked. If DASH sounds like the right fit, we move forward with an evaluation.
Step 2 — The Initial Evaluation
Every client starts with a comprehensive evaluation. Not a quick screen — a full breakdown of how your body moves and performs. Movement analysis, strength testing, and position-specific assessments to identify not just where it hurts, but why. You'll leave with a clear picture of what's driving the problem and exactly how we're going to address it.
Step 3 — Your Program
From there, your program begins. A fully customized plan built around your goals, your training, and your life. Everything you need to recover, rebuild, and get back to performing at your best.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why don't you accept insurance?
Insurance dictates how many visits you get, how long they last, and sometimes even how you're treated. At DASH, none of that applies. Every decision is based on what you actually need — not what a policy allows.
Can I use my HSA/FSA?
Yes. DASH services are eligible for HSA and FSA reimbursement.
Do I need a referral to get started?
No. In California you can see a physical therapist directly without a physician's referral. Just book a Discovery Call and we'll take it from there.
How is this different from a traditional PT clinic?
At most clinics you're one of several patients being managed at the same time. At DASH every session is 1:1 with Dr. Dandashi, and your care extends well beyond the session itself through ongoing programming, direct access, and weekly support.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients work within a three month program — but that gets determined during the evaluation once we have a clear picture of what's going on.
What does the evaluation include?
A comprehensive breakdown of how your body moves and performs. Detailed movement analysis, strength testing, and position-specific assessments to identify not just where it hurts but why. You'll leave with a clear plan.
I've already done PT before and it didn't work — why would this be different?
Most PT that doesn't work falls into one of two categories — it treated the symptom instead of the source, or it didn't give you enough support between sessions. DASH addresses both.
Do I need a diagnosis to get started?
No. You don't need a diagnosis, an MRI, or a referral. If something feels off, that's enough of a reason to reach out. We'll figure out the rest.
Do you offer remote options?
For those who don't require in-person care, a fully remote option is available with individualized programming and ongoing support.
How do I get started?
Book a Discovery Call. It's a quick conversation to hear about what's going on, walk you through how DASH works, and figure out if we're the right fit. No commitment, no pressure.
