Ando & Aston Physical Therapy

The Ando & Aston Wellness Scholarship

The Ando & Aston Wellness Scholarship was developed to demonstrate our commitment to the education process of our community members. We feel that the best foundation for personal development is laid at an early age. Access to skilled instruction in both time-honored as well as cutting-edge fitness and wellness methods is our gift to our community.

Located at the base of the Anaheim Hills Golf course, Ando & Aston Physical Wellness Therapy was established in 1983, and provides the most experienced and comprehensive spine and sports rehabilitation in Orange County. The Ando Studio, located within Ando & Aston Physical Therapy Clinic, offers a studio environment where people of all ages, body types and physical conditions can safely learn and practice established and cutting-edge fitness and wellness methods. We offer Pilates, Yoga, GYROTONIC®, GYROKINESIS®, Tai Chi for balance, and Yamuna Body Rolling™ under the supervision of experienced, certified instructors. We also offer relaxing massage therapy, Guided Imagery and acupuncture to help you attain your goals.
