Gabriel was born and raised in the heart of Philadelphia. He received his Doctorate in Physical Therapy close to home, at University of the Sciences - once Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, now Saint Joseph’s University. Shortly after graduating, Gabriel was hired at one of the best practices in New Jersey, 3 Dimensional Physical Therapy, and became an Intricate Art Dry Needling Certified Specialist, Intricate Art Manual Therapy Certified, and received a Complete Vestibular Rehab Certification.
Through his experience, he has collaborated with many great teachers. Some were chiropractors, certified specialists in manual therapy, hand therapy, orthopedics, sports, women’s health, and strength and conditioning, as well as medical doctors and podiatrists. The more he would learn, the more he would want to share what he learned.
One of the most important things he discovered was the missing piece in healthcare, the strength of the human mind-body-soul connection. In order to improve one, the others must be addressed. Keeping this connection in mind, he developed a treatment approach that bridges these systems and maximizes them. After acquiring a range of hands-on healing techniques his favorites are dry needling, manipulations, and movement.
His favorite part of physical therapy was teaching his patients how to help themselves. Gabriel enjoys having student physical therapists, giving seminars and lectures to clinicians and the public alike, and teaching people how to achieve natural healing by optimizing the built-in capabilities of the human body - especially the power of the autonomic nervous system.
When Gabriel is not treating or teaching he is likely with family, at a concert, playing chess in the park, or exploring the north woods of Maine with his fiancé. Some of his favorite hobbies include cooking, traveling, reading, and eating!
