Ashley Rozek is the Regional Director of our Midtown, Queens, Long Island and New Jersey clinics. Through her many years at SPEAR, Ashley says the greatest thing about the company is the culture and camaraderie found at every clinic. Ashley started with SPEAR as a staff therapist at the 57th Street location and later opened our Grand Central location. Along with treating and helping patients, Ashley is passionate about leadership and developing others. Ashley was the recipient of The Jimmy Olayos Leadership Award in 2022 which is awarded to individuals who not only lead, but coach, elevate, and inspire the people around them to believe in themselves and who makes a lasting positive impact on the people around them. Receiving this award was Ashley’s biggest and most meaningful honor and accomplishment.
Ashley earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from New York University and her Bachelor’s degree in Human Nutrition, Food and Exercise from Virginia Tech. Her clinical experience includes orthopedics, post-operative injuries, sports rehabilitation and neuro-rehabilitation.

From a young age, Ashley has always participated in sports including soccer, basketball, dance, gymnastics, and cheerleading. She was a competitive cheerleader in high school and college and was the president of her college cheerleading team at Virginia Tech. Ashley attributes her initial interest of physical therapy from being a patient herself after suffering multiple sports related knee and ankle surgeries and injuries. From her own rehabilitation experience, Ashley understands the challenges and hardships of recovering from an injury. Her goal is to help her patients find their own strength, mobility, and confidence through physical therapy so that they obtain the best quality of life possible.
