Danish Anwar, PT, DPT, is a dedicated physical therapist who brings both scientific knowledge and a patient-centered approach to his practice. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from the New York Institute of Technology before completing his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at Long Island University–Brooklyn.

Drawn to the holistic nature of physical therapy, Dr. Anwar chose this career because it allows him to spend meaningful time with patients and truly understand the whole picture of their health. He believes physical therapy goes beyond treating symptoms—it’s about identifying root causes and empowering patients to regain function and confidence without relying solely on medications or surgeries.

His treatment philosophy emphasizes looking above and below the area of pain to uncover contributing factors along the entire chain of movement. By considering how different regions of the body interact, he is able to pinpoint the true origin of symptoms and create individualized, evidence-based treatment plans.

Dr. Anwar prides himself on being an active listener who takes the time to understand each patient’s personal goals. He combines empathy with a lighthearted approach, often using humor to make the rehabilitation process more enjoyable while keeping patients motivated and engaged.

Committed to professional growth, Dr. Anwar plans to pursue COMT certification to refine his manual therapy skills and ultimately achieve board certification as an ECS.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Anwar enjoys staying active in the gym, gaming, and singing, whether practicing vocal exercises or performing covers. His unique blend of expertise, compassion, and personality makes him a trusted partner in his patients’ recovery journeys.
