Conditions We Treat

Julie Zapata is a professional in the New York and New Jersey since 2000. She understands that your health and wellness concerns extend beyond routine medical care. She is a highly trained, licensed, expert Physical Therapist and provides an array of comprehensive services and procedures.
​Julie’s favorite patient to treat is when someone comes in and says “My doctor says there’s nothing I can do.”  If you are still living and breathing, there is something we can do.
Patient education is absolutely essential, and is a significant portion of what we do on a daily basis.  Julie also loves being a manual therapist and a problem solver.
​In fact, in 2019 and 2020, Julie has taken coursework from the following organizations in order to broaden her scope of practice and expertise:
Postural Restoration Institute, Strater Scoliosis Rehabilitation Institute and Herman and Wallace, the gold standard in Pelvic rehabilitation training.
