About JP Gaddi, PT, DPT

Fall Prevention Specialist Serving Peninsula Seniors

Experience You Can Trust

My name is JP Gaddi, and I'm a licensed Physical Therapist (Doctor of Physical Therapy) specializing in geriatric care. I've dedicated my career to helping people maintain their independence and quality of life. With years of experience working exclusively with this community, I understand the unique challenges that come with aging and the importance of treating each person with dignity and respect.

I chose to focus on home-based physical therapy because I believe that the most meaningful care happens in the place where it matters most: your home. By working with you in your own environment, I can provide truly personalized treatment that addresses the real-world challenges you face every day.

Education & Credentials

Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT)

University of Nevada, Las Vegas
I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree with a specialized focus on geriatric care and fall prevention. My education provided me with advanced training in addressing the unique physical challenges that come with aging.

Capstone Project: Fall Prevention

My doctoral capstone project focused on preventing falls in the community through the evidence-based Stepping On Fall Prevention Project. This intensive research and clinical work deepened my understanding of:

  • Evidence-based fall prevention strategies
  • Home safety assessment and environmental modification
  • Balance and gait training specific to aging adults
  • Community-based prevention programs

This work wasn't just academic. It gave me hands-on experience helping people reduce their fall risk and stay safe at home. It's the foundation of everything I do in my practice today.

My Commitment to You

My approach is built on three core principles:

🛡️

Safety First

Your safety is my top priority. Every treatment is carefully designed to minimize risk while maximizing progress. I assess not just your physical abilities but also your home environment, identifying potential hazards and recommending modifications.

🤝

Respect and Dignity

I treat every client with the respect they deserve, listening carefully to their concerns and involving them fully in decisions about their care. You are an active partner in your own recovery and wellness.

🎯

Independence as the Goal

My ultimate goal is to help you maintain or regain the ability to do the things that matter to you—whether that means walking without fear, moving around with confidence, or living independently for as long as possible.
