Dr. Shiao-Lan Li, DPT, is a doctor of physical therapy at Minimally Invasive Medical Group, which has offices in Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, and Irvine, California. He performs regular physical therapy, outpatient evaluation, and treatment for orthopedic patients with all body parts. He also coordinates the patient treatment plans with chiropractics, pain management physicians, orthopedic doctors and primary physicians.

As a physical therapist, Dr. Li does not see separate issues relating to only one body part without relation to the rest of the body. Although a specific portion of the body may be the most obviously injured or restricted in its motion, other aspects of the body’s functioning are also immediately impacted, causing the formation of a specific compensatory pattern. The compensating pattern can result in limited recovery in the original area as well as possible future injury in the supporting area. Physical therapy achieves the highest success when treatment is focused on the restoration of the strength/muscle tone balance between the muscle groups, the coordination of the movement, and the elimination of compensatory patterns.

Dr. Li usually uses all possible tools, such as manual therapy, scraping, Yoga, traditional martial arts, etc., according to the patient’s individual situation to maximize the benefits of the therapy.

With over 30 years of experience, my goal is to increase function and to decrease pain with innovative treatment techniques, modalities and exercise. I am continual learner and keep up to date on current and best practices. I have experience in in-patient (acute care), out-patient (clinic), sports rehab, acute rehab, worker's compensation and worksite ergonomics. I concentrate on prevention of disability and encourage return to activity. My plan of care centers on integration of their current lifestyle and adding home activity to advance healing and progress patients return to function. I concentrate on wellness-based education and activity to reach the patient's therapy goals.
