Rowan (Yu-Ting) Huang, PT, DPT, MS, CSCS

Rowan has extensive experience in orthopedic and sports rehabilitation, working with everyone from individuals recovering from surgery or managing persistent pain to competitive athletes. Her experience includes providing rehabilitation and performance support to a two-time Winter Olympian competing in women's monobob.

Rowan earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy from New York University after completing her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Physical Therapy in Taiwan, where she also practiced for several years before moving to New York.

As both a physical therapist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), Rowan emphasizes the importance of bridging the gap between rehabilitation and performance. Her approach combines hands-on manual therapy, movement assessment, and progressive strength training to help patients not only recover from injury, but build the strength and confidence to return to the activities they enjoy. She also has specialized training in pelvic floor rehabilitation, addressing pelvic health concerns through an individualized approach to movement, strength, and function.

Having experienced significant athletic injuries herself, including an ACL rupture, ankle sprains, and a disc herniation, Rowan understands the physical and mental challenges of rehabilitation. These experiences have helped shape her approach to patient care, with an emphasis on restoring movement, building resilience, and helping patients feel confident in their bodies.

She has had extensive clinical experience treating a variety of performers including dancers, vocalists, musicians, and people who like to move. Nicole strives to help all of her patients find balance for healthy, sustainable performance whether that's dancing, singing, running, playing sports, or the busy life of a New Yorker.
