Leeor Shalom, PT, DPT

Leeor earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Vermont in Burlington. During his time at UVM, the natural beauty of Burlington and the surrounding Green Mountains sparked a passion for gear-intensive sports such as rock climbing, road cycling, and snowboarding. Committed to both mental and physical well-being, Leeor took on a leadership role in the UVM DPT Wellness Committee. The committee aimed to support student wellness during a rigorous academic program through events like cookouts, storytelling nights, field days, beach outings, and ski trips. This dedication to fostering community remains central to Leeor’s approach as he returns home to New York City, eager to share his love for movement and human connection.

Leeor’s clinical experiences have taken him across the country—from an outpatient orthopedic clinic in Burlington, to an inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Palm Desert, California, and a sports rehabilitation center in Frederick, Maryland. These diverse settings sharpened his clinical insight and reinforced his belief in the transformative power of movement. Whether working with individuals recovering from neurological injuries or high-level athletes, Leeor is passionate about helping people move the way they want to. He believes the best version of yourself is already within you—it’s simply a matter of taking the right steps, with a little guidance along the way.

Outside the clinic, you’ll likely find Leeor at a local climbing gym tackling new bouldering and sport routes, logging daily runs, biking through the city, or hiking on weekends. He’s always on the lookout for great coffee shops, taco spots, and relaxing parks—recommendations welcome!
