Read Craig's full bio
Craig Cohen, PT, MPT, ATC/L, CSCS, is the Owner and Founder of Integrated Physical Therapy & Wellness. With nearly 30 years in clinical practice, he has built the practice around a single conviction: that lasting results come from identifying and treating the root cause of dysfunction, not from managing symptoms indefinitely.
Craig earned his Bachelor of Science and Master's degrees in Athletic Training and Sports Medicine from Hofstra University, where he worked with collegiate and professional athletes including the New York Jets. He returned to Miami to complete his Physical Therapy degree at Nova Southeastern University, with an emphasis in orthopedics.
A master Myofascial Release practitioner, Craig studied directly under John F. Barnes, PT, the originator of the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach, and continues to teach alongside his mentors - training the next generation of clinicians in the method. His clinical expertise also includes Ki-Hara Resistance Stretching, Pilates rehabilitation (certified in the Polestar method since 2000), Corrective Exercise, Active Release Technique, and sports rehabilitation.
Craig's approach merges the science of biomechanics and advanced manual therapy with the art of healing. He treats the body as an interconnected system rather than a set of isolated parts, delivering an extensive, multi-faceted plan of care designed to restore whole-person function. He places particular emphasis on the patient–therapist relationship, believing that meaningful recovery depends as much on trust and engagement as on technique.
"We use the phrase 'hands-on whole-istic approach' in our facility. To our patients, that means quality and value in the care they receive. To their families, it means knowing their loved ones will receive skilled physical therapy and a real opportunity to return to - and in many cases surpass - their prior level of function. To me, that's the reason I show up every day."
