Lymphedema Care
"When I met Rochelle I didn’t know what a lymph node was. I just knew I was in pain. Rochelle is a talented and dedicated therapist who has a tender and healing touch. She has really helped me—I consider her an 👼 angel. "

"We appreciated having Rochelle’s visit. She was excellent with Steve and is clearly a seasoned, talented physical therapist . . . I consider myself to be very discerning, so this compliment for Rochelle’s service comes from a great deal of experience!"

West Cliff Physical Therapy is a private, personalized clinic based in gorgeous Santa Cruz, California. We approach our patients' needs as they should be approached: individually and holistically.
Over the last twenty-years, I have worked in a variety of physical therapy settings ranging from community-based hospitals to private practices. About a decade ago, I recognized the need for improving out-patient physical therapy services for oncology patients. I began attending hospital tumor boards, attending physician cancer conferences and reviewing relevant medical journal articles. I have pursued specialization by becoming a certified lymphedema therapist (CLT) and furthered my CLT knowledge by passing the Lymphology Association of North America (LANA) exam. In 2017, I became certified as an oncology specialist with Physiological Oncology Rehabilitation Institute (PORi), and also completed the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) advanced Certificate of Achievement in Peripheral Edema.
I currently hold the distinction of being the only APTA Board Certified Clinical Specialist in Oncology Physical Therapy in Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. I combine a sincere passion for my patient population with my rigorous commitment to evidence-based practice in my quest toward optimal outcomes for oncology patients. I currently serve on the APTA Specialization Academy of Content Experts (SACE). In parallel with my clinical responsibilities, I am pursuing a Doctor of Science degree in Physical Therapy with an oncology focus from Oakland University, Rochester, Michigan.
West Cliff Physical Therapy is a cash based practice and out-of-network provider (with some insurance companies).
Patients are responsible for full payment at the time of each visit and are required to submit the appropriate medical reimbursement request to their insurance provider. An insurance "superbill" will be provided upon request.
