ABOUT ME

I’m proud to welcome you to Silk Physical Therapy, a rehabilitation center for strength athletes in the Financial District of New York City.

My surname, Seda when translated in English is Silk —which drew the inspiration for the name of my practice. As a licensed physical therapist of 11 years at Silk, I provide my patients with the utmost care and attention to their needs and therapy goals. 

I was first introduced to the power of physical therapy not as a graduate student, but as a patient. As a three-sport varsity letterman in high school from Lakewood, NJ, I had a history of chronic ankle issues, but gained full recovery through the help and compassion of skilled physical therapists.

Gaining a deep appreciation for the field of rehabilitation, I went on to graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science and Sport Studies from Rutgers University. Afterwards, I obtained my Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Columbia University.

During my time at Columbia, I served as the Class Vice President and also played the outside center position for the Columbia Physicians & Surgeons Rugby Football Club. I also completed a series of outpatient, orthopedic-based internships across the country, which further supported my skills in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal and neuromuscular pathologies.

During the course of my career, I became a board-certified orthopedic clinical specialist (OCS) and a Certified Clinical Powerlifting Coach (CCPC). I’ve also taken a number of continuing education courses including (but not limited to) Functional Range Conditioning, Visceral Mobilization through IPA, ICE Pelvic Live and Dr. Craig Liebenson’s First Principles of Movement course. 

Aside from working with patients, I am passionate about pain neuroscience, powerlifting, and sharing education about pain and strength training. When I’m not in my office, you can find me relaxing with friends and family, powerlifting, practicing capoeira, traveling the globe or trying a new restaurant.
