Meet your therapist.....

Hello, my name is Sudhir V. Tawalare. I am a licensed Physical Therapist in New York and New Jersey. I am a board certifiedspecialist in Orthopaedic Physical Therapy from American Physical Therapy Association's specialty board. According to APTA there are 66,000 registered therapists in the USA, only 6,000 of them are certified specialists in their respective areas. I have been a therapist for over 25 years with experience in treating consumers in three different countries with the last 21 years of experience in the U.S.

I was born in India and that's where I earned my Bachelors degree in physical therapy and post-graduate Diploma in rehabilitation. After my post graduate Diploma I worked at All India Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Mumbai (Bombay,)India as a clinical instructor for post graduate students of Physical/Occupational therapy. At this institute I began my journey as a physical therapist and my personal quest to learn as much as I could in my field of interest- Orthopaedic and Hand Therapy.

After four years of experience at this institute in 1989, I had the opportuniy to work in the United Kingdom. In the UK I worked in the physical therapy department of a community hospital

In 1990 I came to the U.S. My first position was at Kings Brook Jewish Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY. Soon I got a position as senior therapist at Montefiore Medical Center in The Bronx, NY, then as acting chief of physical therapy at the same hospital.

In 1996 I moved to New Jersey as a clinical specialist for Sports Medicine and Rehab of North Jersey in Riverdale, NJ. I worked at this facility for 6 years then I got my specialty board certification in Orthopaedic Physical Therapy. Next I took a position as a center coordinator for Health South Corporation facility in South Orange, NJ where I worked on specialty certification in Hand Therapy.

During all these years I was dreaming of my own private practice where I could do the best of what was needed for the consumer. That's how Northeast Rehabilitation was established. My wife CathrynB. Derham, OTRL and I are the owners. She is a Paediatric Occupational Therapist with a specialization in Sensory Integration. She practices in New Jersey. We live with our son Samir in Park Ridge, NJ. I love motor bike riding, playing badminton, and enjoy traveling. I am still faithful to my quest; I have been attending continuing education classesin my areas of specialty tirelessly so I can bring the most current treatment techniques and equiptments to serve my clients. With your continued support I am confident I will achieve this goal. Thank you.
