Eddie Cornejo, PT, MPT, CFMT
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Cal Poly Pomona in 2000 and went on to receive my Master of Physical Therapy from Azusa Pacific University in 2003. In 2018, I was accepted into an American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) credentialed clinical residency program with the Institute of Physical Art (IPA) to specialize in Functional Manual Therapy®. Over 15 months and 1,500 clinical practice hours, I refined my orthopedic diagnostic skills and advanced my expertise in manual therapy. In August 2020, I traveled to Steamboat Springs, CO, to undergo a week-long, intensive clinical and practical exam, achieving certification as a Certified Functional Manual Therapist (CFMT) through the IPA.
As an active individual, I understand the importance of helping my patients regain full functionality. My approach is holistic, considering the entire body rather than just the specific area of concern. I utilize my diagnostic skills to tailor treatments to each patient’s unique needs, ensuring a high level of care for everyone who walks through my door.
In 2021, my wife Melanie and I founded FIT Physio, a project born out of our shared passion. We first met in Physical Therapy school at APU in 2001, graduated together, and have been working side by side ever since. In 2015, Melanie transitioned from patient care to managing our business operations and raising our two wonderful daughters.
In our free time, we enjoy being with family, watching our daughters excel in sports and singing, and traveling. We particularly love outdoor activities that involve dirt or water, such as off-roading, camping, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, and boating.

Why should I go to FIT Physio when I can go to an in-network provider and pay less out of pocket?

Will my insurance cover any of the expense?
More often than not the answer is YES, although it is dependent on your particular insurance plan.
