**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.

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.

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.
