About Cupertino Physical Therapy
Most clinics manage your symptoms and call it a plan. We built this place to end them: one-on-one, with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, every single visit.
Our Story
Dr. Stacy Alvares, Doctor of Physical Therapy, Founder
Stacy holds a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Arcadia University in Pennsylvania and a Master’s in Physical Therapy from Manipal University in India, combining academic training with hands-on clinical skill to deliver personalized, evidence-based treatment.
She founded Cupertino Physical Therapy around her specialties: neck and low back rehabilitation, balance and gait training, total knee replacement recovery, and women’s health physical therapy. She’s known for a holistic, empowering approach that helps patients improve function, reduce pain, and return confidently to the activities they love.
Outside the clinic, Stacy spends her time with her child, family, and friends, and finds inspiration in nature, hiking, and the outdoors, practicing the same balance and wellness she encourages in her patients. Fluent in English, Hindi, and Marathi, she connects with patients from diverse backgrounds and builds an inclusive, supportive environment for recovery.
“My goal is to help every patient move better, feel stronger, and live well.”
What We Believe
We don’t chase surface symptoms or rely on cookie-cutter protocols. Whether mapping a rehabilitation plan to get someone back to peak performance or refining an operational workflow, we focus on the root cause with absolute clarity and intent.
Stagnation is a risk. We stay at the absolute cutting edge of clinical practice and advanced recovery methodologies, backing every team member with structured mentorship, continuous learning, and clear pathways to master their craft.
We listen deeply and treat the whole person, not just the chart. We lead with genuine emotional intelligence and respect, creating an environment built on psychological safety, trust, and human connection.
We believe exceptional professionals do their best work when given the trust, space, and backing to make independent, evidence-based decisions. Through transparent communication and high standards, we support each other as peers.
High performance shouldn’t mean burnout. We protect a balanced, flexible workplace that delivers a high-energy, premium client experience without cutting corners or sacrificing personal well-being.
