Ian Fundal

DPT

I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy, who graduated with distinction from Touro College. My professional journey is dedicated to helping people restore their physical function, a commitment deeply rooted in my passion for physical therapy. My academic tenure began in the Philippines, where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree from St. Paul University in Iloilo. Seeking further knowledge, I moved to the United States to pursue my Doctorate at Touro College, specifically at their Long Island campus in New York City. Throughout my studies, I developed a strong foundation in rehabilitation sciences, anatomy, and evidence-based practices, along with a keen intellect for understanding the complexities of the human body. This has enabled me to apply my knowledge effectively in therapeutic interventions.

My approach to physical therapy is driven by empathy and a genuine desire to positively impact my patients’ lives. I believe in a holistic understanding of health, recognizing the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and social factors. This patient-centered philosophy is crucial because I firmly believe that personalized care is essential for optimal outcomes. My credentials, including passing the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE) and achieving a Diploma/Certificate for Post-professional Doctoral in Physical Therapy from Touro College, are a testament to my dedication and expertise. This combination of international education and professional qualifications equips me with a unique perspective and a broad skill set, allowing me to provide exceptional care to my patients.

At In Touch NYC Physical Therapy, I serve as a Physical Therapist, specializing in restoring patients to their prior injury state or, ideally, to an even better condition. My professional passion is particularly aligned with treating post-surgical conditions and athletic injuries. In my practice, I aim to tackle challenges such as limited access to rehabilitation services and the complexities of insurance coverage. A significant part of my focus is on promoting preventative care, which I believe plays a crucial role in enhancing overall patient well-being.

What I truly enjoy about working here is the professionalism that pervades the environment. It’s not just about treating patients; it’s about the challenge of providing innovative solutions that help patients achieve their physical and functional goals. This dynamic and solution-focused approach makes my role both exciting and deeply rewarding.
