Cassandra Ciorciari, PT, DPT, LSVT BIG

Cassandra received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Marist College and her Bachelor of Science degree in Health Sciences from Long Island University. During her graduate studies, she was a lab assistant for anatomy as well as a tutor for movement science, neuroscience and anatomy courses. Cassandra was salutatorian of her cohort and also had her doctoral project paper “The Use of Dynamic 3D Printed Cervical Spine Models In a Musculoskeletal Physical Therapy Course” published to the Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice.

Cassandra’s clinical experience includes outpatient rehabilitation where she gained knowledge in treating Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, lower extremity limb loss/prosthetic training, geriatrics, post-op, and musculoskeletal injuries. Cassandra’s passion for Physical Therapy came from when she tore her ACL playing soccer when she was 13 years old. From an early age, Cassandra knew she wanted to help others get back to their activities the same way her physical therapist helped her. Cassandra has made it her goal to help her patients by incorporating both a manual and movement approach to her practice.

Cassandra grew up in Queens, NY and has always been into sports. Throughout the years, she played soccer and softball on travel teams as well as on her high school teams. She enjoys spending her free time hanging out with friends and family, working out, playing recreational softball, hiking, trying different restaurants, and going to concerts.
