Fairview Avenue) and Sutter’s Goleta Physical Therapy office (5385 Hollister Avenue) and serves a combined 64,000 patients across all locations.

For thousands of residents, staying active is part of the Central Coast lifestyle. The ability to move is vitally important, whether it’s a weekend hike in the Santa Ynez mountains, a walk along our iconic beaches, competing on the field or court or keeping up with the grandkids.

When injuries happen or post-surgery healing is required, expert integrated care can make all the difference. Sutter’s Central Coast Physical Therapy Department offers patients a seamless experience by connecting with their orthopedic surgeons, primary care clinicians, podiatrists, pain management specialists, radiologists and neurologists to streamline care.

“Partnering with a physical therapist is critical to patient outcomes. The expertise and reputation of the Hayashida physical therapy team in caring for athletes and sports-related injuries are unparalleled in Santa Barbara County, and they will be a tremendous asset going forward,” noted Sutter Health orthopedic surgeon Dr. Corina Brown.
