About Dr. Tara McNamara
I have been a physical therapist for 20+ years with a practice focused on treating the whole person in their home or work environment for a variety of neurological, orthopedic, complex medical issues and wellness training. My goal is to support my clients in achieving their goals: optimal functional mobility.
In High School, I had shoulder surgery at Hospital for Special Surgery followed by physical therapy at a local facility on Long Island. I gained a great respect for the profession when I witnessed patient’s being rehabilitated with skill and care. I decided then to become a Physical Therapist and have dedicated my life to continuing to learn new skills to support my clients.
