You see patients a 2-3 times per week for a few weeks and really get to know them. Most importantly, I was able to see their progress which was remarkable. As a dancer growing up, I also suffered some injuries so physical therapy had played a role in my life growing up - I graduated from Rutgers with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy - Since then, I have been working in Manhattan at Spring Forward #PhysicalTherapy - I specialize in one-on-one, individualized and holistic care with an emphasis on manual therapy (hands on work) and #Pilates - I believe Pilates is great for rehab and overall health in general as it focuses on small and controlled movements which create stability. It is also very core centric which is the powerhouse of the body. Having a strong core can prevent and help with a lot of injuries - I treat all orthopedic and musculoskeletal disorders from head to toe ranging from sprains, tears, fractures, back pain, neck pain, dizziness, headaches etc. and I am very focused on posture - I am also a certified #KinesioTaping Practitioner (The athletic tape you see on the Olympians) and I am certified in cupping as well DESCRIPTION: Doctor of Physical Therapy, Kelly Picciurro, physical therapist at Spring Forward Physical Therapy in NYC here to talk about all topics related to physical health!
