Angela (Traverso) Ruthnick PT, DPT, OCS

Hi, I’m Dr. Angie Traverso, a Doctor of Physical Therapy with over 13 years of experience in the field—and more than 18 years in the health and fitness industry overall. I specialize in working with athletes of all ages, including older adults, to help them move better, feel stronger, and stay active doing what they love.

I run my own virtual physical therapy and health business through Instagram @dr_angie.traverso, where I connect with clients nationwide. I also practice in-person at an outpatient orthopedic clinic in Concord, California.

An athlete for life, I started with baseball and soccer, transitioned into yoga, and played competitive soccer until recently. About three years ago, I discovered a passion for weightlifting—especially barbell training—and it’s become a key part of both my personal fitness and professional philosophy.

I combine my deep knowledge of kinesiology, biology, exercise physiology, and strength training to help clients overcome pain, improve performance, and stay in the gym—or on the field—well into every stage of life.
