AXIS PT

Physical therapy has been part of its Los Angeles work since 2000, with a Downtown Los Angeles presence since 2002. That longevity is reflected in a team shaped by deep outpatient knowledge and sustained professional development. Debbie Ueda, PT, FAAOMPT, brings more than 30 years of practice and also teaches through The Manual Therapy Institute, where she mentors physical therapy fellows from around the country in developing manual skills.

Her role as both clinician and instructor reinforces the practice’s strong manual therapy foundation. Steve Grinsted, MPT, adds a background grounded in formal training and continued study. A 1999 graduate of the University of Delaware with a master’s degree in physical therapy, he has continued to build his expertise through a range of educational seminars while contributing to the field through shared knowledge and practice.

Alongside the clinical team, Cynthia Vazquez brings more than two decades of outpatient physical therapy experience in operational and medical billing leadership, supporting the practice with seasoned administrative oversight. What emerges is a physical therapy practice that pairs technical orthopedic and sports expertise with close attention to posture, mechanics, and movement quality. AXIS PT approaches rehabilitation as a process of improving how the whole system functions, using skilled manual care and targeted exercise to help patients move better, train better, and recover with greater intention.
