About our Auburn Clinic:

Our Auburn clinic is our newest clinic located in LA Fitness Center in Auburn, WA. It’s one of two clinics located inside a fitness center. This is a great opportunity to work with a close-knit team as we continue to expand our services. The clinic proudly offers a range of pain management, balance and vestibular rehabilitation, post-surgery rehabilitation and injury prevention services, including sports medicine, and spine rehabilitation. Our clinic director, Daya Babariya, is trained in manual technique, as well as functional exercise and therapeutic activities to help patients return to their prior level of function and beyond. She has also taken several continuing education courses to further her expertise in myofascial release, stroke rehabilitation and vestibular dysfunction.
