Dr. Yuwon Choi

PT, DPT
Senior Physical Therapist

I started my career in physical therapy in 2013 after graduating from Pohang University in South Korea and earning my national PT license. I went on to complete my Master’s degree in 2018 and my PhD in 2021 at Daegu University. Wanting to expand my clinical skills in the U.S., I completed my Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) at Touro University in New York in 2025 and have been licensed to practice in New York State since 2019. I’ve had the opportunity to work with patients in both South Korea and the United States, and I genuinely enjoy helping people move better and feel better in their daily lives.

I have over 10 years of clinical experience specializing in orthopedics, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), chronic spinal pain, and postural correction. My treatment approach is rooted in evidence-based manual therapy, postural and movement analysis, and functional rehabilitation. I have completed advanced training in PNF, orthopaedic manual physical therapy (OMPT), movement impairment syndromes, and kinesiology taping.

Core values:
I am driven by a commitment to continuous growth, integrity, and meaningful contribution. I strive to act with purpose, stay curious as a lifelong learner, and help others improve their quality of life through movement and education.

“Excellence is not an act, but a habit of consistent effort.”

Many patients struggle not only with pain but also with the fear and uncertainty that come with it. I aim to help patients understand their bodies, build confidence in movement, and break the cycle of chronic pain through education and guided rehabilitation.

Specialization:

I specialize in orthopedics, postural correction, manual therapy, and movement re-education. I also focus on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction and chronic neck and back conditions, providing individualized care that addresses both the source of pain and long-term movement quality.

I enjoy treating conditions like chronic neck and back pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), postural imbalance, joint instability, and movement coordination impairments.

I like working at Tribeca because I value the collaborative environment and patient-centered philosophy. The team shares a strong commitment to clinical excellence, professional growth, and empowering patients through high-quality care.
