Steven Harrity, PT
I am the founder and President of Cameron Park Physical Therapy Center, Inc. I first became involved in physical therapy in 1982 while working as an EMT and ski patrolling. I graduated in 1989 at the top of my class achieving Magna Cum Laude Academic Honors from Fresno State. I have been serving the community as a physical therapist in El Dorado County for over 27 years. During this time I have continued to advance my skills and techniques through excessive training and practical experience in a plethera of disciplines and specialties. This not only improves myself but also excels our facility and the physical therapy profession as a whole. As a result all members of our community benefit. Working continually in Cameron Park and Shingle Springs for all these years has allowed me to work with a continuum of patients. They have ranged from extreme athletes, professional, collegiate, high school and community competitive athletes, active adults, motor vehicle accident victims, work related injuries, to our seniors suffering from a multitude of ailments. With the care and compassion they deserve, helping them with their specific needs to maintaining their independence. I am highly motivated to help all people achieve their individual goals.

Born and raised in this community, I received my Master’s Degree from the University of Pacific in 1998. I began my professional career in a hospital based clinic in San Andreas, California before joining a pediatric clinic and a Therapeutic Horseback Riding Program in Lincoln, California for children with neurological and orthopedic conditions. I returned to my hometown and began working at Cameron Park Physical Therapy in 2000 with the multifaceted patient population of our community. I have diversified my clinical care to the many needs of our region including the development of a lymphedema and post-cancer rehabilitation program. In 2006, I completed a six month sports medicine program focused on the restoration and advancement of competitive performance in athletes. Along with El Dorado County Search and Rescue, I enjoy horseback riding, hiking, camping, and community activities and utilize my vast knowledge of these hobbies to enthusiastically return my patients to well-being.

In conjunction with the Cancer Exercise Specialist Certification, I have developed “The Body Alive Program.” The Body Alive Program is a strength and fitness training program designed for adult cancer patients who have become deconditioned, chronically fatigued, or are experiencing bone loss from their treatment and illness. Physical activity is one of the best methods to prevent and treat these physical side effects.
