Clinical specialty in Scoliosis and Spine…

The past few years Abigail has had the privilege of working closely with patients of all ages diagnosed with a range of scoliosis and spine conditions. After graduating from she worked in general orthopedics and sports at an outpatient clinic in Brooklyn, where she met two wonderful therapists who introduced her to “Schroth” and the Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School. After participating in training through the BSPT School, she has focused on treating individuals with scoliosis, hyperkyphosis, hyperlordosis, general back and neck pain, and other spinal disorders. She currently practices at Columbia Presbyterian’s Non-Operative Care for Spine and Scoliosis clinic, and has the privilege of working with some of the world’s best spine surgeons, PAs, NPs, orthotists, and PTs in the country.

Personal History…

Abigail has always been a “hugger”. Growing up, this meant her younger siblings often received more physical love from me than they ever wanted or maybe needed. Now, as an adult, she channels her “hugging energy” into her passion for providing care as a Physical Therapist (and occasionally smothering her 1 year old child with the physical contact her siblings had to endure). Abigail began her PT career as a patient after tearing her ACL in college and experiencing physical therapy first hand. She graduated from NYU’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program in 2019 with her Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Strength and Conditioning Speciality, as well as receiving the Department Service Award for her contributions to the school, department, faculty and student body. She also received multiple superlative awards from her classmates, such as, “Most Likely to Pay Attention in Class 100% of the Time,” and, “Most Likely to Be a Professor at NYU”. Abbe feels these awards make her a “cool” physical therapist. Throughout her career, she has had the unique privilege of connecting with individuals on many distinct levels, through physical, emotional and therapeutic interventions. Some days she works in a strictly clinical manner, while on others she spends a good ten minutes discussing why Miley Cyrus is one of her favorite musical artists. She is grateful for all of it.
