Rita Chorba, DPT
MSK Physical Therapist
I help people solve their most stubborn pain and injury problems
Driven by a deep curiosity about the “why” behind movement dysfunction and recovery, my professional journey focuses on unraveling the mechanisms behind musculoskeletal conditions and applying that knowledge into tangible, high-impact solutions.
Whether addressing injuries or preventing future problems, I’m committed to continuous learning and adaptation to enhance treatment precision and effectiveness.
Every case offers an opportunity to refine techniques, challenge assumptions, and contribute to a broader understanding of musculoskeletal health. My goal is to empower individuals to overcome pain, regain control, and reach their highest potential.
Writing
Writing has never come as easily to me as talking. Still, I write to share what I’ve learned in a way that’s relevant, clear, and genuinely useful. My work includes clinical case studies in Military Medicine and The International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy, regular articles for the Raider Patch (Marine Raider Association), and a practical guide on how to choose running shoes. Each piece reflects a commitment to solving real problems and supporting others through clear, experience-driven insights.
Current Project: MSK Ultrasound
I’m currently expanding my study of diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound, an evolving skill that’s transforming how we investigate the causes of pain and injuries. The ability to see beyond surface symptoms—directly into tissue structure and movement—makes ultrasound a powerful tool in clinical decision-making.
Success Stories
Rita is by far one of the best I have seen in this field. Very knowledgeable, far ahead of her peers in using leading edge technology for her patients, and is very through in analysis/diagnosis of the problem and always, always finds a solution that fits the need of the patient. Rita helped get me back and running in a short period of time (days) using creative methods instead of months that other PTs would have taken. She achieved great results working on our operators allowing them to quickly get back into full operational status.
