Introducing Dr. Anthony Orlando, Our New Physical Therapist

We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Anthony Orlando as the newest addition to our team. He brings over 17 years of experience as an orthopedic, sports medicine, and pediatric trained therapist to Hudson Healing Arts, in addition to a firm belief in the power of treating each client as an individual.
Read on to learn more about Dr. Orlando’s physical therapy services and healing philosophy!

Dr. Orlando’s Services
Dr. Orlando’s ultimate goal is to help people live their life with less stress and more balance, which captures the art of true relaxation...a pursuit we wholeheartedly endorse at Hudson Healing Arts!
He provides a number of offerings under the physical therapy umbrella to help clients restore balance, strength, flexibility, and mobility, including:

• ●  Orthopedic, sports medicine, and pediatric services
• ●  Medically-oriented personal training
• ●  The Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), a comprehensive test that
  pinpoints mobility and stability problems and can influence a customized course of
  treatment
• ●  The Graston Technique, an innovative soft-tissue therapy that facilitates a speedy
  recovery for a number of medical issues
• ●  The McKenzie Method, which promotes the body’s ability to heal from common neck
  and back problems sans medication, heat, cold, needles, or surgical intervention
• ●  Pregnancy and postpartum services, including manual therapy, pelvic floor
  strengthening, therapeutic massage, education about posture/body mechanics

What differentiates Dr. Orlando is his holistic approach, one that doesn’t just focus on physical healing but also a positive mind-body connection and greater sense of well-being.
“My belief is that like the body, your mind goes through a series of changes, some good, some bad. How we respond to these changes determines our well-being,” says Dr. Orlando. “Physical impairments take a spiritual and psychological toll, because they jeopardize your independence. That’s why I treat the whole person, rather than just the symptoms.”
Dr. Orlando also strives to promote and facilitate strategies that help people respond more skillfully to life’s stressors, helping them to shift from a state of doing to a state of being. Creating a relaxing atmosphere is just one of the ways he does so. He prioritizes small touches that allow you to fully unplug, such as aromatherapy, dim lighting, and music. Those thoughtful measures don’t disappear when you leave: Dr. Orlando also sends narrated home exercise videos to his clients’ phones, empowering you to help yourself in your own time.

Cutting-Edge Care Meets Compassion
While Dr. Orlando offers the latest in innovative techniques, there’s one facet of his care that’s decidedly old-fashioned.
“In the past, clinicians spent time with their patients and truly listened. I take pride in carrying on that tradition. You don’t meet someone at their MRI report or X-ray; you actually sit and listen to them. That’s when you connect with the human spirit. Often, I find that the solution lies in their story,” says Dr. Orlando.
