Sheila Yonemoto – MA, PT,  Owner

Sheila was born in Hawaii but grew up in Southern California. She graduated from UCLA with a BS in Kinesiology and earned her Master of Physical Therapy degree from Stanford University. She worked at UCLA for both inpatient and outpatient rehab and a few other outpatient clinics before opening Yonemoto Physical Therapy in 1982. Sheila also completed an advanced clinical training in TMJ (jaw problems) at UCLA and USC Dental Schools.

Sheila has done extensive training in manual therapy (especially in Integrative Manual Therapy with Sharon Giammatteo, now deceased), qigong (with Master Dajiang Yao, now retired in Shanghai) and management skills (with Survival Strategies).  She also continues to follow functional medicine doctors for additional knowledge in nutrition and energy medicine.

She had married her high school sweetheart and was married for 39 years before getting divorced.  She has three grown children and now a delightful granddaughter.  She loves to read, to learn more on health and wellness and especially enjoys teaching qigong (now going on 20 years).
 
Yonemoto Physical Therapy has been open for over 40 years.
