Yaffa graduated from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia with her Doctorate of Physical Therapy before moving to NYC. Yaffa has experience treating patients in both acute rehabilitation and outpatient care, with a range of orthopedic, cardiovascular and neurologic conditions. Yaffa has a passion for treating those with both acute and chronic pain conditions. Yaffa’s research includes methods for rehabilitation from spinal surgery and the effects of low back pain on balance. 

Yaffa is a good listener and her warm and caring nature makes her easy to talk to. Yaffa’s approach is to create treatment plans tailored specifically for each individual that fits their needs and lifestyle. She’ll make sure you are taken seriously and will work together with you to form a plan that you feel comfortable with both while in the clinic and at home. 

Yaffa loves spending time outside, hiking, running, and weightlifting and she frequently finds herself upside down doing handstands. Yaffa also enjoys crocheting cozy blankets, reading Harry Potter, and drinking hot chocolate.
