Vincent Castoro PT, DPT
Vincent Castoro is a Bay Area native who takes pride in the health of communities. He received his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the UCSF/SFSU Graduate Program in Physical Therapy in 2019. After completing the year long orthopedic residency program through Kaiser Permenente in 2020, he became a board certified specialist in orthopedic physical therapy. Vincent values professional development, and his pursuit of continued education has expedited his understanding of musculoskeletal management.
Vincent’s athletic history in ice hockey and baseball ignites his passion for physical therapy and movement optimization. His experiences with personal injuries and post-surgical rehabilitation provides his own patient perspective that informs his approach with clients.
