Our Staff

Sebastian Castillo

Physical Therapy Aide

I grew up in La Puente, and I am currently a student at Cal Poly Pomona, where I am studying kinesiology and health promotion. I work as a Physical Therapy Aide, which allows me to gain hands-on experience helping patients in their recovery. My experiences in school, work, and leadership have all strengthened my passion for helping individuals and making a positive impact in healthcare.

I have hands-on experience working directly with customers in health and wellness. As a previous retail associate, I learned how to educate people about nutrition, supplements, and healthy lifestyle choices while building strong communication and customer service skills. These experiences have prepared me to work in a position where I can guide and support individuals in reaching their health goals.

The core values that drive me in life are compassion and growth. Compassion motivates me to help others and make a positive difference in their lives. Growth drives me to constantly challenge myself, learn new skills, and improve both personally and professionally. These values shape how I approach relationships, my career goals, and the way I contribute to my community.

“Don’t expect excellence from mediocrity”

One of the biggest challenges patients face is the lack of access to proper care. Many people struggle to see a provider in time, whether due to cost, location, or limited availability, and this can lead to delayed diagnoses and worse health outcomes. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to receive the care they need, and I want to be part of making that possible.

As a Physical Therapy Aide, I assist patients with their rehabilitation exercises, prepare and maintain therapy equipment, and ensure a safe, supportive environment for recovery. I specialize in patient care and providing support to help individuals progress toward their mobility and wellness goals.

I really enjoy working here because I get to make a direct impact on patients’ recovery and see their progress over time. I like being part of a supportive healthcare team where I can learn from experienced professionals while helping patients regain their strength and confidence.

When I’m not working, I enjoy staying active through running and fitness. I also like spending time outdoors, whether it’s hiking or going for a jog, because it helps me stay energized and clear my mind. Staying active is important to me both personally and professionally since it aligns with my passion for health and wellness.

Patient Testimonials

“I don’t normally write reviews however I have to say that Empower Physical Therapy in Chino Hills is awesome! I have been going there for a couple of months now and I am so grateful for the wonderful care and treatment I receive during my therapy sessions. From the warm and welcoming reception by Janet (she is truly the sweetest!) at the front desk to the diagnosis, personalized treatment, attention, and awesome care provided by Dr. Jason and Dr. Justin, to the kindness and support from the friendly and accommodating physical therapy aides (Sebastian, Paula, Jacob, Herman, Emily, and Steven as well as a few others whose names slip my mind at the moment). I haven’t had the chance to work with Anthony however he appears extremely caring and attentive with his patients as well. I’ve never had to wait beyond my appointment time as they are always very prompt at bringing me back and getting me started. I have never felt rushed or as though I’m asking too many questions, they always take their time, ensure that all of my questions have been addressed, and utilize their expertise to educate me on my condition. The majority of my sessions have been with Dr. Justin and he is fantastic! He is always coming up with new ideas to help me move forward in my recovery. Although I still have a little bit to go in my recovery, I’m definitely seeing and feeling improvements in my range of motion and pain thanks to the strategic exercises and bodywork. I honestly can’t recommend this place enough, I’m so glad I found Empower!”
