Dr. Steven D Newton, Owner, PT, DPT, MBA, TPI

Envisioning goals and following your heart is what Steven Newton teaches and what he’s all about.  His passion for fitness and exercise, combined with his desire to help others, led to a doctoral degree in Physical Therapy. While perfecting his clinical skills in orthopedic trauma and spinal rehabilitation, he took night classes and earned an MBA from the University of Redlands in California.

Steven’s enthusiasm for sports, combined with his love for physical therapy, soon led him to leave the limiting world of working for others — choosing instead to create his own full service physical therapy clinic designed to meet outpatient industrial rehabilitation needs.  By bringing in people who shared his passions, Steven quickly expanded the clinic’s services well beyond the scope of traditional physical therapy.​

Steven has developed a number of safety training and exercise programs for various employers, including the FBI, as well as a comprehensive training program to prepare National Search and Rescue Teams for a wide range of natural disasters.

Steven is a Clinical Professor at Loma Linda University Medical School, where he has inspired physical therapy students to use their vast education and explore alternatives to traditional career paths via his teaching of anatomy and physiology, orthopedics, therapeutic exercise, marketing & finance and clinical electrophysiology.

In his free time, Steven enjoys playing golf and tennis, and spending time with his loved ones.
