**huge shoutout to everyone at WellSpan for shaping my career and who I am today as a therapist
Want to know more? Ok – so I’m a physical therapist based in Mt. Lebanon, just south of Pittsburgh. I moved here in January 2024 from my hometown of York, PA—but in many ways, it felt like coming back to a second home. I went to Duquesne and had been missing Pittsburgh ever since.
Outside of being a therapist, I enjoy camping, hunting, cooking, lifting weights, and running. I’m big on living a healthy, fulfilling life—getting outside, sleeping well, eating whole foods, staying active, and spending time with good people. My family’s still in York—my younger brother Brad, my parents, and my grandmother—and I visit when I can.
I started Mobile Physio because I wanted to do things differently. After years in traditional therapy settings, I was burned out by the nonstop appointments and constant documentation. That model made it hard to truly connect with patients or give them the full attention they deserved. So I decided to build something better.
With Mobile Physio, I bring physical therapy directly to people’s homes, where we can focus on what matters most—your care. No computers open, no note-typing during your session. Just meaningful, person-centered therapy.
I also wanted to create something proactive—not just therapy for recovery, but therapy to help you stay strong, mobile, and independent. That’s why I offer both rehabilitative and ongoing maintenance fitness services for those who want to stay ahead of the curve.
And beyond that, I like to make things happen. If you need a specific piece of equipment or a connection to another provider, I’ll dig deep and go the extra mile to find answers and get things done.
Neuro is my favorite realm of physical therapy. My love for neuro rehab really took off during the year I spent as the lead PT on WellSpan Surgery and Rehab Center’s brain injury unit in 2018–2019. That place is the Taj Mahal of rehab centers, and the team there—shout out to them—shaped me into the therapist I am today. Working with people recovering from brain injuries, strokes, spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s, MS, and more pushed me to get creative—not just with interventions, but also with how I communicated and supported families. These patients need more than standard care—they need a teammate. That mindset still drives how I approach every patient, no matter the condition.
Just wanted to give you a sense of who I am before we meet. Hope to talk soon.

EXCELLENT Based on 16 reviews Posted on Virginia PhillipsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chuck Lockwood has worked with my 88-year-old husband first at home and now at an assisted living facility for many months. My husband says, "Chuck is the best part of the day." He is great company, yes, but here's another reason we treasure him: he has been able to keep a wheel-chair-dependent person with significant neurological issues strong enough to walk 50 yards or more with his walker.Posted on Kelly PalomboTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chuck has made a big difference in my life. I have worked with him for a long time and he has helped me with my MS battle. He always has new ways to challenge me and keep me in the fight. I would recommend him for anyone seeking to increase strength, mobility and healing.Posted on Amber ValimontTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Lockwood was very thorough and clearly communicated his evaluation of my injury. He gave me concise and focused exercises that did not feel burdensome with my busy schedule. He checked in with me regularly to make sure my injury was improving. It is evident that he loves his work and it made a huge difference in my experience. Highly recommend his in home services!Posted on Regina BombaraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Dr.Chuck! My pap was in and out of the hospital and then was sent to a nursing home which was absolutely awful for him. Not only did he not get the care he deserved and needed thats when he started to just give up and go down hill. When he would get called down to PT he just had no fight in him and neither did the staff they could careless. Once he got discharged at home for better care by my gram I made him a promise that I would find him at home PT! He asked me if i could do that and i did. After searching and reviewing so many reviews someone suggested Dr. Chuck in a facebook group. He was in my grandparents area which was HUGE! It worked out that he was able to come help my pap in a short amount of time before he ended up passing in November. My family cannot thank you enough for all that you did and were trying to do for him! Im sure somedays he might have been stubborn or had no energy but the days you were able to get him to stand and take a few steps out of his wheelchair and using his walker that made his day! All he wanted to do was to walk again. And I know he is walking in heaven right now. He truly adored you and you really impacted his life in that short time frame so thank you again! Dont sleep on it hire Dr.Chuck he is the best!!Posted on Pat WilburnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Chuck has been working with my husband who has Parkinsons and was unable to stand on his own after several months of hospitalizations. What amazing progress they’ve made! Chuck has been very attentive to Bob’s personal goals and has been a partner in helping him achieve them. Chuck is always cheerfully professional and as a plus he’s so well organized, always on time, available by text and his billing and scheduling are seamless. We think we found the perfect person!Posted on Amanda KierzkowskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!Posted on Donald HornyakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Avoid the hassle of finding a parking spot and getting into an office, waiting to register etc….give Chuck a call!! Chuck comes right to you. His vast experience and commitment to varied and innovative techniques will have you seeing positive improvement in your condition. Be prepared to work hard and celebrate the positive outcome of his recommendations.Posted on Jordan DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chuck is very knowledgeable, reliable, and professional. 100% recommend.Posted on Wendy PetrakosTrustindex 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 PetrakosPosted on JeromeTrustindex 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.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
