- Wound CareAm a licensed physical therapist and have practiced in New York since 1976. I received my physical therapy training from the University of Connecticut and spent my early career working in hospital inpatient, outpatient and home care programs. I loved the challenge of working in a dynamic setting that provided me experience with diverse and complex medical conditions in all age populations. I progressively assumed management responsibility, culminating in positions as Director of Rehabilitation overseeing PT, OT, Speech, Wound Care, Pulmonary Rehabilitation and Headache Management Services. During this time I received my Masters in Ergonomics and Biomechanics from New York University and consulted in ergonomics in the industrial arena.

- Physical TherapyIn the State of New York, you are allowed to receive physical therapy treatment for 10 visits or 30 days, whichever comes first, before needing a written prescription. At that point, you may continue therapy with a written referral from a licensed practitioner including a doctor, a dentist, a podiatrist or a nurse practitioner.
- Back Pain
- Manual TherapyIntegrative Manual Therapy is a comprehensive treatment approach that views all of the body’s structures and systems in an interrelated manner, addressing anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and energetics to facilitate the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
- Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy
- Bunions ProblemsOften, inadequate function of the foot can result in forces being transmitted up the leg and into the spine causing pain in the knee, hip, low back or even the neck. A custom fit, full contact orthotic will align the foot properly throughout the varied phases of walking to eliminate these excessive forces and prevent pain. It provides excellent control for runners with excessive pronation or other overuse syndromes to optimally align the foot and enhance shock absorption. A dynamic orthotic can stop the progression of foot deformities like bunions or hammer toes and prevent the pain and difficult shoe fit that would otherwise result.
