Zahava Wilson Physical Therapy

Zahava Wilson Physical Therapy I use principals of neuroplasticity - or the brain's ability to learn - to help people reach their fullest potential.

Working with people of all ages, from birth to the end stages of life, I work with many different issues. I have been working with children and adults for 30 years and am passionate about helping people reach their fullest potential. Over the years I have worked with people with all kinds of issues, including children with Cerebral Palsy, Autism, learning disabilities, genetic and behavioral disorders. I have also worked with adults who have chronic pain, injury, or with anyone who wants to improve in a particular area of their lives. It gives me so much joy to help people reach a higher level of potential in their lives. I received my graduate degree in Physical Therapy from Columbia University, and am trained in the Anat Baniel Method for Children and the Feldenkrais Method. My love of movement has led me to study a wide variety of movement-based modalities, beginning with my college studies combining neuroscience and dance. Feel free to visit my page periodically, where I will be posting articles and videos of interest having to do with brain science, movement, and human potential. I'd love your input about these topics and am looking forward to hearing from you!

It's common knowledge that our brains -- and, specifically, our brain cells -- store memories.

My story

I have been working with children and adults for over 25 years. I am passionate about helping people reach their fullest potential, using the brain's ability to heal itself and improve the way it functions. I work with a range of people, including children with Cerebral Palsy, Austism, learning disabilities, genetic and behavioral disorders. I also work with adults who have chronic pain, injuries, and with anyone who wants to improve in a particular skill. I received my graduate degree in Physical Therapy from Columbia University, and am trained in the Anat Baniel Method for Children and the Feldenkrais Method. My love of movement has led me to study a wide variety of movement-based modalities, beginning with my college studies combining neuroscience and dance.
