Stan received his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Touro College in 2018 and is currently a partner at Physiofitness Physical Therapy in New York City. Stan is a NAIOMT Certified Manual Physical Therapist (CMPT) and a staunch supporter of treating all parts of the body as they are all interconnected. This belief is why he was initially drawn to Fascial Counterstrain. He immediately recognized that this gentle, soft tissue technique would elevate his practice and could be the solution for significantly improving outcomes for even his most difficult patients. Stan has completed multiple FCS courses through the Jones Institute and has had success with both difficult orthopedic conditions as well as systemic conditions like fibromyalgia. Being able to gently remove painful, reflexive tissue contractions from the body in a way that is often overlooked when treating musculoskeletal conditions has been a game-changer for his practice.
Dr. Katie Slaughter is a physical therapist focused on holistic healing of the body through hands on fascial release, specifically Fascial Counterstrain. She passionately believes God designed our bodies to heal and is dedicated in finding the ROOT CAUSE to your pain or dysfunction.
Dr. Katie approaches the body as a whole, meaning not just assessing where your pain or dysfunction is present, but assessing all regions that could be involved. Our fascia is engulfed in EVERY structure in our body, so a fascial restriction down at your foot or around your bladder can absolutely impact and pull on anything further up the chain. She especially loves assessing old injuries and scars, as they can play a big role in your pain pattern.
Dr. Katie treats out of 2 locations listed below.
