Sebastian Castillo
Sebastian Castillo is a Lead Physical Therapy Aide at Empower Physical Therapy & Wellness, currently studying Kinesiology & Health Promotion at Cal Poly Pomona. Before joining the clinic, he built a strong foundation in retail health, wellness, and nutrition, experience that shaped how closely he listens to what patients need. As a lead aide, he keeps the front of the clinic running smoothly so our therapists can stay focused on care. Outside of work, his own routine of running, fitness, and hiking keeps him close to the discipline he brings into the clinic every day.
"Don't expect excellence from mediocrity. I hold myself to that standard every day, because our patients deserve nothing less."
What guides the work.
Sebastian leads by example among our aide team, setting a standard of preparation and follow-through that keeps every patient's visit running smoothly. His background in retail health, wellness, and nutrition taught him that real service means paying attention to the details before anyone has to ask. He believes excellence is a daily choice, not an accident, and he holds himself to that standard first before expecting it from the team around him.
Off the clock.
Life beyond the treatment table.
When he's off the clock, Sebastian is usually still moving: running, hitting the gym, or getting outside for a hike. Staying active isn't just a hobby for him, it's part of how he stays sharp and energized for the work he does at Empower. Whether it's a long trail or a quick workout, he brings the same discipline to his own fitness that he brings to the clinic.
