Moscardi Physical Therapy
Providing One on One Patient Care
Our goal at Moscardi Physical Therapy is to provide one on one patient care with a Physical Therapist each visit. Exercise programs are individualized according to the patient’s injury. Once range of motion and healing of tissue has been achieved, a thorough strength training program will be initiated. Moscardi Physical Therapy has access to an 8000 square foot gym that has high end cardiovascular equipment and resistive strength machines.

Louis Moscardi, MPT graduated from California State University, Fresno in 2002 with a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy. His undergraduate work was also completed at Fresno State, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Exercise Science.
While attending school, he was employed at Community Hospital, Leon S. Peters Rehabilitation. He provided physical therapy to patients with spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, and patients with cerebral vascular injuries. Louis then took a position with St. Agnes Medical Center where he worked inpatient and outpatient physical therapy. It was in this setting where he received extensive training on the rehabilitation of joint replacements for the knee, hip, and shoulder. He completed his graduate courses with an internship in Fresno, California. The focus in this clinic was manual techniques used by the physical therapist to effectively treat patients after surgery. Upon moving to the central coast Louis took a position in an outpatient physical therapy setting where he continued to provide excellent clinical care. In 2004, Louis opened Moscardi Physical Therapy in the Pismo Medical Campus.

Wayne Angeloty
Physical Therapist
I have been a physical therapist since 1981. I graduated from California State University, Long Beach with B.S. degrees in Community Health Education and Physical Therapy. I started my career in a teaching hospital/trauma center at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose, CA. This helped me gain valuable clinical skills, along with specialized training and supervision. I eventually specialized in treating orthopedic, neurological and post surgical patients. I established a private practice in Fremont, CA, in which I worked closely with orthopedic physicians, neurosurgeons and physiatrists. I treated professional MLB and NFL players decades ago. Patients were referred to me from other clinics where patients had trouble achieving their goals. My wife and I retired to Pismo Beach in 2017. However I developed some serious eye problems after the move. After a full recovery I decided to return to the physical therapy clinic part-time. I fondly tell my patients that Louis Moscardi helped to bring me out of retirement and I'm glad he did. When I'm not working here a few hours a week, I enjoy walking, baseball and traveling. I especially like walks on the beach with my camera. I look forward to working with all of you in this very friendly and skilled clinic.
I was born in San Luis Obispo, California in 1996 and spent my childhood in Nipomo, California. After graduating from Nipomo High School in 2014, I pursued my education at Allan Hancock Community College before transferring to California State University of Los Angeles, where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science. Concurrently, I became a personal trainer and fitness instructor, both of which I have remained involved in. The dual exposure to these aspects of the exercise spectrum has been a source of inspiration to become a physical therapist. Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of working under the guidance and mentorship of Louis Moscardi. My experience at this practice has helped me improve both professionally now and as a future physical therapist. ​
