About Me
I received my bachelor’s degree in physical therapy from the Universidad del Rosario in 2004 and my doctorate in physical therapy from Long Island University in 2010. I am a board-certified clinical specialist in orthopedic physical therapy, a certified hand therapist, and a certified office ergonomics evaluator. I am also certified in ASTYM (augmented soft tissue mobilization) and have trained in the Graston Technique. I have also received additional postgraduate training in hand physical therapy and sports occupational therapy. My clinical interests include cycling and tennis, as well as chronic pain, ergonomics, manual therapy, the elbow, hand and wrist, and shoulder.
