When presented with the opportunity to spend four weeks shadowing a local physician, he jumped at the chance — but the experience wasn’t as he hoped. The practitioner, a leading orthopedic surgeon, viewed his patients as simply an x-ray, a prescription and a diagnosis.For Dr. Cifelli, this wasn’t what medicine was all about. He wanted to improve lives and make a difference, and chose physical therapy as his vehicle.Dr. Cifelli is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), and holds additional certifications in the following treatment modalities: ART (Active Release Technique), NKT (Neurokinetic Therapy), Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA).Dr. Raleigh Clinton Duncan - Founder, and CEO of Clearlight
