About me

Adelle Smener PT, DPT, CSCS

I’m an LA native through and through, so it’s no surprise I stayed in sunny Southern California for my graduate training, earning my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from USC.

I work in the sports and orthopedic setting, treating recreational athletes of all ages. I have extensive experience with complex and previously mismanaged cases, with a particular focus on ACL injuries, cartilage surgeries, and meniscus injuries.

When it comes to ACL rehab, I believe there’s a significant gap between the care many ACL patients receive and the level of care they truly deserve. That’s why I prioritize empowering and educating my patients while raising the bar for what ACL rehab can and should be. My goal is not just to guide my ACL patients through the long, often tedious recovery process, but to help them return at 110% with greater knowledge, confidence, and yes...have some fun along the way!

Services

Physical Therapy

Done Differently

Every session is personalized, rooted in evidence, and focused on helping you move forward with confidence - in the gym, in your sport, and in everyday life.

Personalized, Human-Centered Care

Every session is 1:1, starting with a 90-minute comprehensive evaluation where we take the time to truly understand you - your movement history, goals, lifestyle, and what brought you here.

Progress looks different when care is personalized. This isn’t just about getting out of pain - it’s about moving forward with confidence, clarity, and a plan that actually fits your life.

Data-Driven Testing & Assessment

Your plan of care is built on objective testing, not assumptions. We assess mobility, strength, and movement patterns using industry-leading tools like force plates and handheld dynamometry.

This allows us to establish clear baselines, track progress over time, and make informed decisions every step of the way

Movement-Focused Rehabilitation & Performance

Rehab here goes beyond basic exercises. Using evidence-based movement strategies and strength & conditioning principles, we focus on restoring mobility, building foundational strength, and increasing movement tolerance.

The goal? Helping you return to your activities, hobbies, and sports feeling capable, prepared, and confident!

Coaching, Guidance & Ongoing Support

Think of this as a partnership. You’ll receive a fully customized program with clear videos and explanations, plus access between sessions for check-ins and adjustments as needed.

Because real progress happens outside the clinic - and you don’t have to navigate that alone. I’m here to guide, support, and adapt the plan as your life and body change.
