FABIAN GARCIA, DPT is a sports and orthopedic physical therapist in New York City.  He has adopted an evolutionary perspective on rehabilitative strategies.  He targets and normalizes the two communication pathways in the human body: water and electricity.  He does not employ the ineffective entry level doctorate strategy of ROM and strength.  He is the only physical therapist using principles of functional medicine, immune dominance, detoxification principles and visceral manipulation for treatment of the combat and martial arts community of NYC.  Immune dominance (including autoimmune issues) and vagal nerve health are addressed to balance out the immune system and visceral health.  He is a provider for GPL Organic Acids Tests and Dutch tests for hormone assessment.

His combination of advanced academic degrees in various fields of science and multiple advanced certifications have created the most scientifically effective clinical approach to treating the patient and athlete: normalize water and electricity.

This is a physical therapist owned clinic conveniently located in the heart of NYC one block from Madison Square Garden, Penn Station and all major subway lines.
