Ayako Ota

Meet Ayako

Ayako is a graduate of UC San Diego and completed her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at UCSF/SFSU.

While dragon boating in San Diego, Ayako grew to love powerlifting as part of her strength and conditioning practice for paddling. Through powerlifting, she has gained a passion for strength training and its importance in developing resilience and independence for all people.

Ayako is dedicated to empowering her patients through shared decision-making, exercise-based rehab, and patient education. She believes that with the right knowledge and skills, patients can learn to take charge of their own rehab and emerge with lifelong health practices.

Outside of the clinic, Ayako enjoys many hobbies, including baking, crocheting, gardening, camping/backpacking, and powerlifting. She competes and volunteers at local powerlifting meets throughout the Bay Area.
