Adam Strizak
PT, DPT, OCS
Adam Strizak received his Doctor of Physical Therapy from New York University and moved to the Central New York area shortly thereafter. He currently works at a large hospital-based outpatient facility located in Syracuse, NY, where he has exposure to a complex and diverse patient population. Personally struggling to treat the complex patient has lead to his discovery of pain neuroscience education and a new disposition towards pain.
