Dr. Stephen Zimmerman, Bellmore, NY
. . . bridging the gap between physical therapy and fitness training
Dr. Stephen Zimmerman is a healthcare professional practicing physical therapy for 38 years, a husband, father, and grandfather. He believes there will be a need for improved quality in years of functionality and as such pursued a new and complimentary pathway by obtaining his CFT via the ISSA program in 2010.
Stephen’s goal was to create a process that incorporates the complimentary health professions of rehabilitation and fitness for seniors. This has proven to be of benefit, and has put the seniors under his care, more at ease, and has enhanced the well-being of these patients/clients.
Upon completing his CFT program, Stephen has become more of an educator and collaborative healthcare professional. He has developed a program directed at senior care, and is in the process of eradicating “ageism.” Stephen has given lectures on fall prevention and home safety to community groups, and has educated other healthcare professionals about fitness.
“The ISSA has augmented my skill as a practitioner with relevance to care of the body and mind. They have been my inspiration, and mentor along his new pathway making me continuously aware that the process of education never stops.”
