Hilary Register is a compassionate and client-centered physical therapist based in San Jose, California, dedicated to helping people move better in the bodies they have. Whether navigating a new diagnosis or managing a long-standing condition, Dr. Register believes that there’s always a way to optimize movement and achieve personal goals. Her confidence in this approach is grounded in her experience working with individuals who have made remarkable strides, even in the face of challenging diagnoses.
