Congratulations to Miriam Axelbaum, DPT, OCS!

We are excited to share that Miriam Axelbaum, DPT, OCS successfully achieved her board certification as a specialist in orthopedic physical therapy (OCS) this month! She attended the Virginia Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy Institutes 6 weekend course series and received her Board Certification as a Clinical Specialist in Orthopedic Physical Therapy from the American Physical Therapy Association in June.

Miriam’s background in competitive dance inspired her to become a physical therapist and today, she competes as a distance runner. Miriam has developed a special interest in rehabilitation for general orthopedics, running related injuries, dance medicine, sport injuries, balance disorders, and post-surgical care.

Away from the clinic, Miriam loves to spend time outside and keep active. She is an avid runner, completing her first marathon in 2019 and successfully qualifying for the Boston Marathon. She also enjoys biking, hiking, camping, and spending time with her family and dog, Raffi and Remy.

We are proud of her dedication to our profession and the patients she serves and congratulate her in joining the top 8% of physical therapists in the country.
