Stephen returned to Stony Brook to join the faculty in the Doctorate in Physical Therapy Program. He is involved in the orthopedic rehabilitation track, exercise physiology and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation classes and research.Dr. Joel Giffin, PT, DPT, CHT founded Flex Physical Therapy in 2014, after practicing for nearly a decade where he provided crisis intervention for Broadway Theater Productions; was awarded the honor of "Best Clinical Director" of an outpatient orthopedic clinic; and obtained the prestigious certification of hand therapist. Joel asserted it was possible to start a practice where quality patient care and a calm positive work environment were always at the core. Flex is comprised of an elite team, and special for many reasons. Each clinician is incredibly skilled and passionate. You are ALWAYS seen 1:1 by a Doctor of Physical Therapy (no aide, no assistant, no sharing time with another patient). You receive a customized treatment plan that incorporates the wellness of your whole orthopedic system (the body is not one size fits all nor should treatment be designed that way). We appreciate your consideration of us for your care.
