PT Pearls: The Patients, The Practice, The Passion

Fit As A Fiddle

Most healthcare professionals strive to put patients first. But what does that really mean? In the practice of physical therapy specifically, it means a lot of things, beginning with listening to the patient. On our show today, Dr. Diana Mayants joins us to chat about the physical therapy profession as she sees it. Diana is a dual-board certified orthopedic manual physical therapist, with over 13 years of experience as a doctor of physical therapy.

We discuss the importance of full-body screening in completing a holistic picture of the patient’s movement and posture. We also touch on how to integrate new evidence into our practices and help patients catapult their recovery. Diana emphasizes that we can serve our patients better by communicating with them more effectively.

Diana has helped numerous patients return to their baseline and in many cases left patients feeling the best they have in years. She has earned the prestigious title of Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) through the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties in 2015. In 2017, she completed the rigorous NAIOMT (North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapists) earning the prestigious title of Certified Manual Physical Therapist (CMPT). Diana earned her doctorate in physical therapy with honors from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. Diana's practice is located in Livingston, NJ where she offers one-on-one sessions and sees clients with various musculoskeletal conditions.
