Meet Our Doctor
Guy H. Catz, PT, DPT
Throughout my life, I've been drawn to movement and the outdoors. As a child, I climbed kitchen counters, rooftops, and trees. Since 2010, that same adventurous spirit and love of nature evolved into rock climbing — one of my greatest passions. I also enjoy beach volleyball, weightlifting, and calisthenics.
As an athlete and finalist featured on the shows Superhuman FOX and American Ninja Warrior, I know what it takes to overcome obstacles, recover from injuries, and get to the next level.
My journey to becoming a Doctor of Physical Therapy was inspired by both professional experience and personal insight as a patient. Those experiences shaped my commitment to providing the compassionate, personalized care I once sought myself.
A back injury from Muay Thai training in my late teens left me with debilitating sciatic pain. As I searched for answers, I discovered the transformative benefits of massage therapy and experienced firsthand how skilled, hands-on care could support the body's natural healing process. Inspired by my own recovery, I became a Licensed Massage Therapist and worked in spas, chiropractic and physical therapy clinics, and private practice, helping patients recover from pain, restore mobility, and improve their overall well-being.
As an athlete with ten years of experience in fitness and rehabilitation, I built a multidisciplinary career as a personal trainer, fitness instructor, coach, rock climbing instructor, and licensed massage therapist — helping clients improve their health, recover from injury, and achieve their fitness goals.
As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I am dedicated to helping people restore movement, build strength, and improve their quality of life through compassionate, evidence-based care. My experience spans both Acute Care, Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation, Home Health and Outpatient settings — treating adults with neurological, cardiac, vestibular, orthopedic, and degenerative conditions.
I grew up in Los Angeles. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from California State University, Northridge, and my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Russell Sage College in Troy, New York.
The Healing Path Approach
Recovery is more than healing an injury — it's about restoring peace to mind and body, restoring confidence, strength, and quality of life.
Healing Path Rehabilitation is based on the belief that exceptional physical therapy requires personalized attention, effective techniques, and a comprehensive, holistic approach. By offering one-on-one care, I am able to treat you in the comfort of your home, at my office in West LA, or via telehealth, and can focus entirely on your goals without the constraints often resulting from insurance-driven care models.
I know what it feels like to wait weeks or months for appointments, to feel unheard, to receive fragmented care, or to leave appointments without a clear path forward. Those experiences taught me the importance of taking the time to understand each person's story, and creating treatment plans that are both evidence-based and deeply personalized. Those experiences inspired me to create Healing Path Rehabilitation.
Our bodies have an incredible capacity to adapt, heal, and become stronger. Small changes in how we move can lead to meaningful improvements in our health, and ultimately help us reclaim our independence and well-being.
Whether your goal is to return to your favorite sport, get back to work, get stronger after being discharged from the hospital, or simply move through daily life with less pain and greater confidence, your goals become my goals from the moment we begin working together. My focus is on restoring movement and function, reducing pain, and building strength through personalized, results-driven care — supporting you every step of the way.
I am committed to helping you get there. My mission is to empower every patient with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to take an active role in their recovery and enjoy lasting results.
I look forward to meeting you and being a trusted ally on your healing journey.
Services
I provide a holistic, patient-centered approach to ensure peak functional outcomes and facilitate a smooth return to optimal health. Atmosphere matters — this is why it is of paramount importance that every person I work with feels cared for, heard and understood throughout their recovery process. Upon completing a comprehensive initial evaluation, a curated plan of care will be tailored to achieve each patient's goals and needs. My goal is to get you back to doing what you love, helping you feel your best and improving your quality of life by reducing pain and improving your functional mobility.
Home Health/Post-Hospital Discharge
A return-to-home session where I help you optimize your level of independence by restoring function: helping you get stronger, continue progressing well in your recovery, and feel safer moving around in your home again. This may also involve, but is not limited to, recommending the necessary equipment, training with assistive devices, muscular strengthening, balance training, fall recovery, cardiovascular conditioning, and caregiver or family training if necessary.
Home Health is primarily for patients who are unsafe and/or unable to leave their home on their own.
- Neurological Rehabilitation (e.g. stroke, TBI, nerve injury)
- Orthopedic Rehabilitation (e.g. fracture, joint replacement, soft tissue injury)
- Oncological Rehabilitation
- Geriatric Rehabilitation
In Office
Using a wide range of interventions such as manual therapy, cupping, electric stimulation, and/or therapeutic exercises, I am able to help you in reducing your pain, improve your strength, balance, mobility and function.
- Return-to-Sport: I help you get back to doing what you love and performing at your best after an injury or operation – guiding you on the healing path every step of the way! I am well-versed in rock climbing, calisthenics, weightlifting, beach volleyball, slacklining and yoga, so I am familiar with the injuries associated with those disciplines, but can help individuals from any sport background.
- Orthopedic Rehabilitation (e.g. post-op recovery, muscular pain/tension, tendonitis, soft tissue injury)
- Neurological Rehabilitation (e.g. sciatica, nerve injury, radiculopathy)
- Vestibular Rehabilitation: Using specific non-invasive head and body maneuvers to guide dislodged inner ear crystals back to their proper place.
- Other: Tension Headaches, motor vehicle accident recovery, TMJ pain
Telehealth(only for CA residents)
A virtual visit on a secure web-based platform – the more affordable option ideal for those able to be self-accountable with their exercises, who are located too far away for in-person treatments, or who simply need more insight and guidance to ensure the best outcomes in their recovery.

Testimonials
In their words
Dr. Guy Catz gets a 20 out of 5. He is such an amazing physical therapist and person — I don't even know where to begin. He pushes me, he's attentive. He knows his job and every part of the body so well. He's patient and he listens. Just wonderful. I arrived at the rehab hospital unable to walk or get out of bed, stiff as a board. I was scared. He was the one who got me moving and gave me hope. I said, “Guy, I want to walk out of the hospital”, he looked at me and said “I'm going to get you there”. I told him all of my goals and he actually got me to achieve each and every one of them. I can't be more thankful.
Dr. Guy is realms above any PT I have experienced. His expertise, compassion and natural healing ability made such a life-changing impact on me during my treatments. The healing experience I had through him was so profound I shared it with my meditation group. I came into the clinic for my right shoulder, and simply mentioned to him that I had a severe headache. Instead of ignoring it and only focusing on my shoulder, what is covered by insurance, like most PTs would — he told me to close my eyes, he placed his hands on my neck and head, and I could feel he was channeling healing energy. My pain was fading away. I opened my eyes to see that his eyes were closed. This is the intention Guy brings to his patients. Many others will be blessed and so grateful to have experienced his loving, healing energy, and I have no doubt he will make such a difference in so many people's lives on their road to recovery.
I was a patient of Guy's in his early days, before he graduated from his DPT program, and he was even the best then. He is a light for all those who have the privilege of working with him.
I can't recommend Dr. Catz enough! He truly goes above and beyond, paying attention to even the smallest details and making sure I always felt heard and understood.
His empathy, patience, and genuine care made such a difference in my experience. I never felt rushed or like just another patient. It's clear Dr. Catz truly cares about helping his patients feel their physically best.
I highly recommend Dr Catz!
I had a few sessions with healing path for sport related hip/back injury as well as a lower back injury I've carried for a longer period of time.
The sessions incorporated not only reworking the way I move but future movement in connection with mind, body, spirit. He emphasizes being present and aware of how to move, tailored exercises for home, and motivation for improvement. I was very impressed with his experience and patience and sincere care for diagnosis of the injury and moving toward full recovery.
He gave me the tools and guidance to heal on my own, and the peace of mind knowing there was light at the end of the tunnel which is especially important.
We had a great experience here helping my girlfriend with her plantar fasciitis. The therapist was extremely informative and took the time to explain everything clearly, including what we should be doing, what we should avoid, and why certain things were important for her recovery.
He was incredibly patient with us and made sure we understood everything before we left. The guidance and treatment made a significant difference, and we are very grateful for all the help.
We would definitely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for knowledgeable, patient, and caring physical therapy!
I highly recommend Dr. Catz! After ACL surgery, I was dealing with a persistent issue that wasn't improving as much as I had hoped. He took the time to understand my concerns, thoroughly assessed the problem, and developed a comprehensive treatment plan that made a real difference. Thanks to his expertise, guidance, and attention to detail, I saw significant improvement in an issue in a short amount of time.
What really sets him apart is how much he genuinely cares about his patients. He even took the time to check up on me outside of our sessions, which speaks volumes about his dedication and commitment to my recovery. That level of personal attention and care truly differentiated him and made me feel supported throughout the process. He is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in helping his patients get better. I'm very grateful for his help, and he will absolutely be my go-to physical therapist if I ever experience any other issues in the future. If you're looking for someone who is skilled, attentive, and willing to go above and beyond for his patients, I cannot recommend him highly enough!
Patient's Choice — Care Hero of the Month. Guy H. Catz, PT, DPT.
Guy received the most Care Hero shout outs on the daily Patient Care Report and discharge satisfaction surveys last month. Patients always compliment his kindness and his ability to connect with them.
I love Guy — he's very kind.
Really good work outs and he explains everything. He's very uplifting.
My favorite thing about being a physical therapist is having the ability to not just be of service, but to be a bringer of hope and a source of light for patients enduring very dark times. The best advice I can give is to meet the patients where they're at, and treat them how you would treat your own family member. Meet them with kindness, compassion and a listening ear. Connect. Make sure they feel seen, heard and understood. When you are with them, be WITH them. They should feel safe, comfortable and cared for throughout their plan of care, and know that you are in their corner throughout their healing process.
FAQ
Good to know
At your home, at the West Los Angeles office, or by telehealth.
Approximately 1 hour.
We provide trauma-informed care – ensuring that you feel safe, secure, at ease, and truly cared for throughout your recovery.
We currently do not accept insurance, and payment is due at the time of the visit. This ensures significantly less wait time for appointments, and you will receive direct one-on-one care guided by your goals rather than what your plan covers. We can provide superbills that you may submit to your PPO for out-of-network coverage and possible reimbursement.
No. California is a direct-access state, so you can be seen without a physician referral. If something in the evaluation needs a medical opinion, you will be told and pointed in the right direction.
Most people are seen weekly at first and taper as things settle. You will get an honest estimate after the evaluation, and it is revisited as you go.
It is often the right time to begin. Rebuilding strength and confidence after a hospital stay is a large part of this practice, and in-home visits mean you do not have to travel to start.
Whatever you can move in — shorts or leggings and a t-shirt work well. For an in-home visit, clear a little floor space and have any equipment you already own to hand.
We require at least 24 hours’ notice for any cancellations or rescheduling requests. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed appointments (no-shows), will be charged the full session value fee. Exceptions are considered on a case-by-case basis for true emergencies — the full policy is further down this page.

If you need to change an appointment
Your health and progress are important to us, and your appointment time is reserved exclusively for you. Because we provide customized, one-on-one care directly in your home, late cancellations and missed appointments significantly impact our schedule and our ability to serve other patients in need.
Our Policy
We require at least 24 hours’ notice for any cancellations or rescheduling requests.
Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed appointments (no-shows), will be charged the full session value fee.
Why We Enforce This Policy
Unlike a traditional clinic, a mobile practice requires extensive logistics to bring high-quality care to your doorstep. When you book a session, we commit more than just the treatment hour to you:
Dedicated Travel Windows: Your appointment blocks out specific travel time, route planning, and mileage that cannot be filled or re-allocated to another patient on short notice.
Impact on Other Patients: A missed slot deprives another patient on our waiting list of the opportunity to receive timely care.
Unrecoverable Overhead: Fuel, vehicle maintenance, and travel time are sunk costs invested specifically for your scheduled visit.
Emergencies & Exceptions
We understand that sudden emergencies, acute illness, or dangerous weather happen. Exceptions to this policy will be considered on a case-by-case basis for true emergencies.
