Dr. Yeonje Choi, PT, DPT
YJ received his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Long Island University – Brooklyn, and a Bachelor’s in Health Science from Franklin Pierce University. He is originally from South Korea and began his academic career in the United States in 2010. As an international student, YJ was able to adapt himself into a new environment and connect with others through sports, especially in a football team from highschool through college. He was inspired by the capability of the human body, and was motivated to help his friends and family to develop sustainability of physical health. As a Physical Therapist, his interests include sports medicine, injury prevention, orthopedics, chronic pain, holistic approach care, and visceral therapy.
During the physical therapy program, YJ learned how the human body is complex and requires a unique and individualized approach to reach a desired goal. He believes Physical Therapy is a lifelong learning profession and started taking continuing education courses through Institute of Physical Arts (IPA) in the 1st year of the program to learn functional manual therapy (FMT) and develop optimal clinical reasoning without limiting his thought process in a single paradigm. Currently, YJ is working to become a Certified Functional Manual Therapist (CFMT) through the IPA.
In his free time, YJ enjoys weight lifting, running, and rock climbing.
