Meet Dr. Eric Keene
PT, DPT, OCS, CFMT, CSCS, CAFSDoctor of Physical TherapyOrthopedic Clinical SpecialistCertified Functional Manual TherapistCertified Strength and Conditioning SpecialistCertification in Applied Functional ScienceEric earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Long Island University’s Brooklyn Campus in 2014. Upon graduation, Eric completed a year-long residency through the Institute of Physical Art focusing on mastering an approach to treatment called Functional Manual Therapy. He passed his exam with honors and became one of only 300 CFMTs in the country. After his CFMT certification, Eric stayed on with this residency group for an additional 5 years mentoring Doctoral residents through certification and treating complex patient presentations.
An avid learner, Eric continued his learning through the Postural Restoration Institute, Spinal Manipulation Institute, the Gray Institute, the Ready State by Dr. Kelly Starrett, and the Institute of Advanced Musculoskeletal Treatments. He achieved his OCS - Orthopedic Clinical Specialist - designation in 2017. He continues to learn, teach, and collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide the highest quality of care possible.
Eric utilizes a blend of approaches and focuses on the treatment of complex orthopedic issues such as severe arthritis, patients with multiple painful body parts, those where PT wasn’t successful in the past, and patients who are looking to get better faster than traditional PT.
Eric started Manual Physical Therapy Specialists because he wanted to focus on caring for patients with complex presentations that typically don’t respond well to traditional PT. These patients often require one on one care, collaboration with other healthcare providers, education on their diagnosis, hands on work, and specific exercise instruction. Manual PT Specialists always provides the highest level of one on one care.
Eric grew up in a Philadelphia suburb and comes from a big family. He has been an athlete his whole life and has played Hockey, Baseball, Basketball, and has practiced Gymnastics, Karate, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He played Ice Hockey at West Chester University of Pennsylvania and Roller Hockey for the USA Men’s Team from 2009-2011. He resides in Pittsford NY with his wife Kristie and two sons Joey and Henry.
