Jorge is the co-founder of PhysioCare Physical Therapy and the founder of Tender Loving Care Physical Therapy. He is a graduate of Mercy College with a Master's Degree in Physical Therapy. Jorge specializes in advanced manual therapy techniques and has achieved his Mastery Certification in Manual Therapy.
For over 10 years Jorge has practiced physical therapy in an outpatient capacity with emphasis on manual therapy. His goal is to provide excellent care in a tender and loving environment with emphasis on prevention. Jorge is a strong believer that in order to provide excellent care, a therapist must establish an honest yet professional relationship with his/her patients, empower himself through yearly continuing education courses while empowering the patient through education and HEP. "When a sincere trust between therapist and patient is established the patient's recuperation is accelerated because both are working as a team towards the same goals".
