About Rebecca Nardi

I earned both a Masters and Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Boston University. I obtained an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist Certification from the American Physical Therapy Association in 2012. For over a decade I managed a busy physical therapy practice in Manhattan specializing in orthopedics, sports medicine, and manual therapy.

While Orthopedics is my first specialty, I have always been fascinated by the neurological system and brain function. I continued my education and expanded my practice to include concussion and vestibular rehabilitation to better meet the needs of the community. After our growing family relocated to Darien, Connecticut, I was the Clinical Director of Hospital for Special Surgery/Stamford Hospital’s Rehabilitation location at Chelsea Piers in Stamford.

Life is full of unexpected challenges, many of them physical. Unexpected injuries and illness, surgeries, pregnancy and childbirth, and acute or chronic health conditions can create forces that have the potential to impact our ability to function, derail our plans, and even impact our education and careers.

I faced those challenges at age 42 after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Conquering cancer required every professional and personal skill I possessed. I formed an expert team of compassionate health care professionals, leaned on a network of supportive family and friends and developed and learned new skills that I had never before imagined I would. Always continuing to learn and grow, I now also specialize in cancer rehabilitation and manual lymphatic drainage.

Now I seek to combine all my professional and life experiences to create an expert practice that is truly patient focused. My concierge practice allows the time, attention, and individualized expert care in comfort and privacy. When care is solely focused on you, optimal results are possible.

I love to witness the results of the hard work patients and I put in to create real and lasting physical change that results in improved daily function. It is awe-inspiring to be part of a journey that returns my patients to competitive athletics, allows them to take that vacation or get back to a vocation they love, or gives them a victorious sense of empowerment to simply feel like themselves again.

I would love to connect with you and understand your specific circumstances and challenges so that we can create a map forward to help you realize your individual goals.

Looking forward to partnering together as a member of your health care team.
