**huge shoutout to everyone at WellSpan for shaping my career and who I am today as a therapist
I moved to the South Hills of Pittsburgh in January 2024 from my hometown of York, PA. I had been missing Pittsburgh since my Duquesne days, and thought it’d be a great place to start Mobile Physio, which it certainly has. I’ve been wanting to get out of the traditional therapy framework for years. Why? Mostly burnout. The relentless pace of back-to-back appointments, coupled with the burden of typing notes during sessions leaves little room for the genuine connection and focused attention that I know to be crucial in delivering high-quality care and achieving the best results.
With Mobile Physio, I’ve reimagined the approach, prioritizing person-centered care and meaningful engagement over productivity. Not only is care delivered in the comfort of your own home, but the computer stays shut so that you can do therapy for the entire session rather than waste time watching the therapist type notes.
Outside of being a therapist, I enjoy camping, hunting, cooking, and staying active through weightlifting and running. I have a huge passion for living a thriving, healthy lifestyle and I do my best to cherish time spent with friends and family. My younger brother Brad, my parents, and my grandparents are all in York, PA and I visit when I can. I’m big on getting lots of sunlight, good sleep, eating whole foods, having a community…all of that stuff!
Just wanted you to get an idea of who I am before we meet. Hope to talk with you soon!

We are so grateful to have found Dr. Lockwood and Mobile Physio for my mother-in-law's stroke rehab. Not only have we noticed great improvements in her mobility, balance, and strength but we have noticed improvements in her spirit too! She looks forward to her PT sessions, even the early morning ones, and keeps us updated with her progress. Dr. Lockwood's encouraging personality and expertise are truly a blessing. We are grateful to him for his well-organized and executed PT sessions that got Cathy walking and functioning again! For us, his practice is the best choice for in-home PT!

Chuck is very knowledgeable, reliable, and professional. 100% recommend. Wendy Petrakos2024-09-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Chuck Lockwood of Mobile Physio is professional, efficient and friendly. He visited me in my home so that I would not have to travel to an outside location for therapy. He checked with my insurance company before beginning any therapy and advised me of the cost and time for each session. He motivated me so that I felt like I could do the movements to relieve the hip pain I was experiencing. I am happy to say that my hip pain is now gone because of my following his plan of treatment. My doctor was pleased with the results, and I highly recommend "Dr. Chuck" to you. Sincerely, Wendy Petrakos Jerome2024-08-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am unfortunately a veteran of too many physical therapy sessions. Over the years, a neck operation was required on C5, C6 and C7 as they were fractured in a fall. I had knee surgery. I had a full hip replacement. I had a four-level fusion of my lower back, and in between the surgeries I had two heart attacks. Each of these medical issues required a period of rehabilitation. Each time I was enrolled in a PT program, I was frustrated that I spent so much time and effort and did not achieve the expected results. Till Now! I had a stroke in July of this year. Upon my release from AGH the doctors wanted me to go to inpatient rehab which I refused. My wife and daughter, knowing I needed PT found Mobile Physio after doing some research. Believe me, if you have ever had PT before and been disappointed, this is PT as it should be. Dr. Charles J. Lockwood, PT, DPT, CBIS sets up a schedule with you to come to your home (no needing rides from loved ones) always arriving as scheduled. Chuck works one-one-one with you the entire session (not like large facility rehabs where the therapists are bouncing around from patient to patient). Chuck gets to know you as a person. For me, each session he has prepared an evolving program that best suits my needs (not like the generic programs I experienced in the past). During the actual sessions, not one minute has been wasted. Finally, the results. I could not be happier with how the PT has helped me to recover so much of my coordination lost during the stroke. The typing I am doing now would not have been possible less than a month ago. Barbara2024-07-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent, very good, Chuck has helped me a lot with my balance and strength and gaining confidence back. I really recommend him! rp b2024-07-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Chuck has been working with my wife for a couple months. Her strength and ability to maneuver safely have greatly improved. Chuck comes in each session with multiple exercises and activities and a super supportive attitude! Professional but friendly demeanor, great sense of humor and a genuine wholistic care approach. Highly recommended! Martha2024-07-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. He has been so helpful with his encouragement and expertise in physical therapy. I have MS and I have lost strength and mobility has been hard. Chuck working with me has helped and given me hope to improve with each visit.
