Meet Dr. Edward Shut, DPT, your physical therapist in Chatsworth
Every visit is one-on-one with Dr. Ed, about an hour, with evening and Saturday appointments.
In Dr. Ed's words
I'm Dr. Ed, a licensed physical therapist proudly serving patients in Chatsworth, CA and the surrounding area. My mission is to help people recover from injury, reduce pain, restore movement, and return to the activities that matter most to them.
At Chatsworth PT, I take a personalized approach to care by working one-on-one with each patient. Every treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs and may include manual therapy, corrective exercise, therapeutic ultrasound, red light therapy, cryo massage, electrical stimulation, and practical education to support recovery and long-term wellness.
I treat every patient myself. You see me at every visit, from your evaluation to discharge. A visit runs about 60 minutes, depending on what you need, and all of it is one-on-one with me. The person who finds the cause of your pain should be the one who treats it and changes the plan as you improve. I have been treating patients for 15+ years, and I never hand a patient off.

"I've worked with several physical therapists throughout my recovery, and this has been by far one of the best experiences. From the first visit, I felt like I was being treated as an individual rather than just another patient on the schedule. What stood out most was the attention to detail and hands-on approach."
