ABOUT

Welcome! I am Dr. Stacey Parsons, DPT, OCS, CSCS, owner of FIT PARSONS. My journey to create FIT PARSONS began as a child, empowered by movement through the world of dance. At 18, this inspired me to set up contracts with major Silicon Valley companies to teach group exercise classes to their employees and launch the FIT KIDS program at the Berkeley YMCA, all while attending university. Through these experiences, I realized I love helping people exude confidence in themselves through movement, which drove me to a career as a physical therapist.

I attended the University of California, Berkeley, graduating in 1997 with a Bachelor's in Human Biodynamics and obtained my Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) from the University of Southern California (USC) in 2002.

While in graduate school, I became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and also completed a rotation at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. These varied and collective experiences expanded my knowledge and skills to effectively treat a variety of movement disorders in both adults & children.

In my 20+ years of practice, I have worked in multiple settings with various diagnoses, broadening my experience as a physical therapist. I also served as a Clinical Instructor to graduate students for many years. In 2006, I became a Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS), a recognition held by only 6% of practicing physical therapists. My extensive background, education, and experience treating movement— from basic tissue function to high-level performance in both adults and children—makes me a very “FIT PARSONS” to help you!
