The Therapist

Sophia Delegard
PT, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT

Sophia is a fellowship-trained physical therapist practicing in Truckee, California — deeply rooted in the Tahoe community she serves.

After completing her Doctorate of Physical Therapy, Sophia pursued an intensive 12-month orthopedic residency to develop advanced clinical expertise, followed by a rigorous 2-year fellowship in orthopedic manual physical therapy — one of only about 1% of PTs who reach this level.

Her training has shaped a practice philosophy built on listening deeply, reasoning carefully, and treating the whole person — not just the injury. She is passionate about empowering patients with the knowledge and strategies to care for their bodies independently, for life.

The Approach

Whole-body care, not just symptom relief

Sophia's practice is built on a core belief: lasting change comes from understanding the whole person, not just the painful part. Every evaluation looks beyond the diagnosis to explore your movement patterns, training history, stress, sleep, and lifestyle.

Treatment blends intentional, progressive movement with hands-on manual therapy — always selected with purpose, never on autopilot. Every plan is built collaboratively around your life and long-term goals, because you are the expert on your body.

When appropriate, Sophia collaborates with trusted professionals — sports medicine physicians, OBGYNs, strength coaches, and more — to ensure comprehensive, high-quality care.
