Bio
Sasha has been practicing physical therapy since 1996. She takes a holistic, hands-on, and proactive approach to her patients’ treatment. She is passionate about helping her patients alleviate their pain and return to the activities they enjoy. Dr. Cyrelson has been an athlete and involved in dance (ballet, jazz, modern) since the age of 5. She danced through college, graduate school, and beyond. Her personal experience, education, and training, give her a unique insight into the special rehabilitative needs of dancers, gymnasts, and athletes at all levels.
Sasha graduated cum laude from Russell Sage College with a BA in Creative Arts in Therapy (Dance). She earned her Master of Physical Therapy degree and later her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Temple University. Following graduation, she was recruited by Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia, working with Dr. Rothman and others developing and implementing knee and hip protocols.
Looking to expand her skills, Sasha worked as a traveling physical therapist, eventually becoming licensed in 11 states. Working with a wide range of age groups, ailments, and settings enabled her to develop an evidence-based treatment approach that combines manual therapy, appropriate exercises, and patient education. The result is most often a quick return to optimal health with a minimized risk of repeat injury.
Dr. Cyrelson is an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS). She is also American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) credentialed as a clinical instructor and has served as both secretary and then Vice Chair for the Southern District of the APTANJ. Sasha is a Mastery Certified Manual Therapist (MCMT), Certified in Vestibular Physical Therapy, and is recognized as a specialty provider for Parkinson's disease and movement disorders (Certification in LSVT BIG - an innovative and clinically-proven method for improving mobility and function in individuals with Parkinson's).
Sasha has developed and led successful, private orthopedic clinics for over 20 years and served as Director of Rehabilitation Services for two hospitals. She is an avid skier and returns to the Catskills often to ski with her children and family.

Bio
I grew up as an athlete all of my life excelling in whatever sport I put my mind to. I really took my talents furthest in my high school basketball career where I was able to score a 1000 points my senior year. Growing up in this dynamic and active lifestyle, I became enamored by the intricacies of the human body, and this is when I steered towards Physical Therapy. It was as a senior in high school that I knew and had peace about my future career as a DPT. As I headed into college, I continued to excel and graduated top of my class at Rowan University where I was awarded the Dean's Outstanding Senior Award. It was at my time at Rowan, where I began to shadow, volunteer, and serve in various physical therapy settings. My time at Rutgers University began with an acceptance letter on December 21st 2018 and ended with an incredible graduation on May 18th 2022. In that time, I was nominated as President of the Student Physical Therapy Association, student ambassador, and class representative for the 2022 cohort. I was also accepted along with 4 of my classmates to present our research paper, which is pending publication, at the 2022 Combined Sections Meeting. These accomplishments may be contributed to blessings, hard work, and support of those around me. The human body is the most incredible and intricate organism ever designed, and my desire is to truly help people return to their best quality of life and exceed their greatest expectations.
