About Park North
Physical Therapy

Carly Krysa earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Public health with a minor of Psychology at the College of Charleston. During her time in Charleston, she fell in love with the practice of yoga and healing through the mind and body, earning herself a 200-hour registered yoga certification (RYT-200).

In 2021, Carly completed her Associates of Science in Physical Therapist Assistant at Mercer County Community College in New Jersey. As a PT at Park North, she loves incorporating yoga and mindfulness into her treatment sessions to complement traditional physical therapy interventions. Her goal is to help individuals improve their physical health and wellbeing through a holistic approach.

Carly became interested in Neurokinetic therapy in a previous role. She had the opportunity to work in a facility that focused on this specific treatment style. Carly became very interested in neurokinetics because it focuses on treating the whole body rather than a specific injury. It allows the patient to heal from a deeper level because it focuses on your breathing, movements and your pain. Everything in the body is connected so when one part goes out of alignment it will throw your entire system off.

At Park North Physical Therapy, Carly employs neurokinetic therapy to help patients with a wide variety of problems that include pain management, fall prevention, to avoid surgery, improve mobility and movement, sports injuries, neurological conditions, improve balance and many more conditions.

Born and raised on Long Island, Julian graduated from the University at Buffalo receiving his BS in Exercise Science with a minor in nutrition. He went on to receive his DPT from Stony Brook University. During this time, he gained experience working with patients from all walks of life and was able to specialize in sports medicine and vestibular therapy.

Julian believes in treating his patients as a teammate by communicating and developing personalized treatment plans. His focus is treating both the physical and psychosocial components equally. His goal is to provide the education and guidance needed to return the patient to their former activities.

When Julian isn’t in the clinic, he’s probably playing competitive computer games, tennis, or golf, reading a book, cooking up different styles of fried rice or watching the Jets lose.. again.. and again.
