About Lakás Physical Therapy & Performance in Sacramento, CA
Athletes First. Physical Therapists Always.
Lakás PT was founded in Sacramento by clinicians who have lived the injury experience themselves — DPTs who train, lift, run, and compete alongside the people they help get back to the sport they love.
More Than a Clinic — A Guide in Your Story
Our mission is to help Sacramento's active movers restore movement and return to the lifestyle they love — with individualized care from clinicians who have lived the experience of injury and recovery.
What We Believe About Physical Therapy and Performance
We built Lakás PT around a few core beliefs: care should be one-on-one, progress should be measurable, and every person deserves a plan built for their goals — not borrowed from a generic protocol.
One-on-One, Every Single Session
Every session is spent entirely with your provider — no aides, no double-booking, and no borrowed protocols.
Movement Is Medicine — Full Stop
Movement isn't just the goal. At Lakás PT, it's the medicine — and the way we help you get back to doing what you love.
Progress You Can See and Measure
Progress is measured, not assumed. Objective testing guides every decision we make about your care.
A Performance-First Approach to PT
The goal is never just pain relief. It is building a stronger, more resilient version of yourself — ready to perform.
Meet the Clinicians Who Train and Compete Like You
We train, lift, run, and compete — just like you.
After undergoing two ACL surgeries as a teenager — without ever being referred to physical therapy — Dr. Kim learned firsthand how broken the healthcare system can be for young athletes. She worked for years in a sports-specific insurance-based practice before founding Lakás PT & Performance in 2022.
Her mission is to help every client that walks through the door regain the confidence to get past their injury and become a stronger, more resilient version of themselves.
Ankita earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Radford University in 2021 and relocated to Sacramento in 2023. A firm believer that movement is medicine, she was drawn to this field after seeing how traditional healthcare often falls short for dynamic, active people.
Her specialties include barbell athletes, CrossFit athletes, and people dealing with chronic pain. When she is not in the clinic, you can find her olympic lifting, reading at the park, or grabbing ice cream at Gunther's.
Joe played two years of college baseball before earning his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine in 2020. He returned to Northern California with a focus on patient-centered, personalized care — and a strong belief that every individual has a unique story that deserves a personalized approach.
Joe has special interests in treating overhead athletes and golfers for both pain and performance. He is an avid golfer and continues to play baseball in a men's summer league.
Rae has been an athlete their entire life — competing in soccer, field hockey, track, swimming, and ultimately ultimate frisbee at the collegiate and semi-professional levels. After more than a decade as an ER and ICU Veterinary Nurse, they pursued a degree in Kinesiology with a focus in Strength and Conditioning.
Having experienced three ACL tears and four knee surgeries over 15 years, Rae brings both the physical and emotional understanding of what serious rehabilitation really takes — and what it means to come out stronger on the other side.
Originally from Fairfax, Virginia, Lisa made her way to Sacramento in 2021 after years in San Diego. A lifelong athlete in soccer, basketball, and track, she rediscovered ultimate frisbee in college and returned to the game after settling in Sacramento.
With a background in communication, public health, and service as a US Army Veteran, Lisa brings a unique ability to connect with patients from all walks of life.
