MEET THE
STRIVE CLINICIANS
Neurological physical therapy built around individualized care, with Dr. Gabrielle Lopez leading STRIVE's stroke, vestibular, and brain injury work.
Dr. Gabrielle Lopez PT DPT is a physical therapist with a passion for restoring function and independence in clients recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, and other neurological conditions. After earning a Bachelor's in Physical Therapy degree from University of Santo Tomas, she pursued her Doctorate degree in Physical Therapy from Arcadia University, and is a Certified Stroke Rehab Specialist.
Her clinical approach is grounded in evidence-based practice — combining task-specific training, intensive repetition, and a genuine belief that the nervous system retains the capacity to adapt at every stage of recovery. She has special interest in Spinal Cord Injury rehabilitation, use of Pilates-based exercises in Physical Therapy, and vestibular rehabilitation.
"Recovery is not a destination — it's a daily practice. My job is to build the environment, the structure, and the belief that makes that practice possible for every client I work with."

DRIVES US
Every session is built on a documented clinical rationale, not a generic protocol. Treatment is delivered 1-on-1 with 50+ minutes of focused care, giving us the time to assess, hypothesize, intervene, and reassess without rushing the session.
We don't believe in staying comfortable. Recovery demands progressive challenge — in load, complexity, and environment. We build that progression deliberately and track it session by session.
Traditional PT ends at discharge. STRIVE is built for what comes next — ongoing wellness programming, community reintegration, and the strength to keep improving beyond the episode of care.
