About The Clinician

Kevin Towers is a dual-licensed Physical Therapist in New York and New Jersey, and a Board-Certified Orthopedic Specialist.

An in-depth, ongoing study of anatomy, patho-mechanics, biomechanics, and human movement makes him one of the most dedicated clinicians in his field.

Kevin Towers

Kevin earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy with honors from Columbia University, where he built lasting relationships with some of the field’s most respected clinicians — collaborations he continues today to stay at the forefront of conservative care.

He began his career at the Hospital for Special Surgery, the nation’s premier orthopedic hospital, treating patients through the latest post-operative and non-operative rehabilitation protocols while immersing himself in advanced clinical programs including Sports Core, Grand Rounds, and Current Concepts in Spine & Sports Rehab.

Early in his career, Kevin trained under some of the nation’s most accomplished clinicians, including Gregory Rakowski and the legendary Mark Bookhout. He has since traveled the country to study advanced manual therapy, including with the Barral Institute and the Institute of Manual Therapy — mastering precise, advanced and detail-oriented techniques that remain underutilized elsewhere in the field.

Kevin treats a wide range of physical and mechanical dysfunctions, using advanced soft tissue work, gentle and effective manual joint mobilization, and targeted neuromuscular re-education — all paired with a custom home exercise program built around each patient’s goals. His background at HSS also makes him a trusted resource for managing post-operative care.

Outside the clinic, Kevin leads an active life — he’s raced with the New York Road Runners Club and competed as a triathlete. As an avid golfer, he has a particular passion for treating rotational athletes, applying a patho-mechanical lens to the kinematic chain in the golf swing and tennis forehand and serve. That same active lifestyle shapes his approach in the clinic, keeping every treatment plan grounded in what actually matters to his patients.
