My name is Stephen Donnellon, I am a doctor of physical therapy with 27 years of experience in health care as a physical therapist. I graduated in 1997 with a bachelor’s degree in physical therapy, prior to that I had obtained an associate’s degree in physical therapy assistant, and the same year I became a certified and licensed massage therapist. I hold two other degrees in unrelated fields. I graduated in 2021 with a doctorate of physical therapy degree with a postgraduate certificate and rehabilitation administration. Over the years I have taken hundreds of hours of continuing education courses in orthopedics, manual therapy, lymphatic drainage, and a variety of different exercises and peripheral nerve mobilization techniques.
