THE DOCTOR IS IN
Dr. Jordan Seda’s first introduction to the power of physical therapy came not as a graduate student, but as a patient. As a three-sport varsity letterman in high school from Lakewood, NJ, Jordan had a history of chronic ankle issues but gained full recovery through the help and compassion of skilled physical therapists.
Gaining a deep appreciation for the field of rehabilitation, he went on to graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science and Sport Studies from Rutgers University where he also served as the president of the salsa club. After Rutgers, Jordan went on to complete his Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Columbia University. During his time at Columbia, Jordan served as the Class Vice President and also played the outside center position for the Columbia Physicians & Surgeons Rugby Football Club. Jordan also completed a series of outpatient, orthopedic-based internships across the country, which further honed his skills in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal and neuromuscular pathologies.
During the course of his career, Jordan has become a board-certified orthopedic clinical specialist (OCS), a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the NSCA and a Certified Clinical Powerlifting Coach (CCPC). He has also taken a number of continuing education courses including (but not limited to) Functional Range Conditioning and Dr. Craig Liebenson’s First Principles of Movement course. Aside from working with patients to achieve their goals through his knowledge of anatomy and sports, Jordan is passionate about pain neuroscience and powerlifting and is actively working to help people better understand pain and strength training. When Jordan is not in the clinic, you can find him relaxing with friends and family, powerlifting or practicing capoeira, traveling the globe or trying a new restaurant.
