Location: MVPT Physical Therapy – Greenfield, MA
Rafael grew up in Brooklyn, NY and began his studies in healing at SUNY New Paltz, focusing on crisis and trauma management. He later got his Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Stony Brook University in a field which merges “the science of healing with the art of caring.”
