Reuben Escorpizo, PT, Physical Therapist

Description

I specialize in orthopedics, work rehabilitation and conditioning. I work with patients who suffer from musculoskeletal pain and spinal cord injuries or who have had total joint replacement. I use treatments and therapies such as manual therapy and therapeutic taping. My research interests include patient-reported outcomes and assessment, spinal cord injury, arthritis, contextual factors, work disability and rehabilitation.I am active in my research area and teach at the UVM Doctor of Physical Therapy Program. This has allowed me to ensure my care is contemporary and evidence-based and one that considers patients first. As a professor at UVM, I feel privileged to be part of educating the new generation of physical therapists.My philosophy includes patient-centered care. I believe that any successful treatment depends on a collaborative and active partnership between the patient and their families, the physical therapist and other health care professionals.
