History
Established in 1998.
Since May 1998, Sternen Physical Therapy has been achieving patient success with each patient that enters through our doors. Debbie Sternen, MS, PT, opened the practice with a vision to provide patient care in a setting that puts the patient's best interests first. Initially, the practice's niche was working with patients who have TMJ disorders, headaches, neck pain, and facial pain. Today our varied physical therapy team specializes in general orthopedic rehabilitation. We treat patients from head to toe. So if you have a spine problem, upper extremity or lower extremity condition we are here to help you.
Meet the Business Owner: Debbie S.
Debbie always had a passion for physical therapy, especially for treating patients with headaches, neck pain, and TMJ disorders. After graduating with a Bachelor in Physical Therapy from Bowling Green State University in 1986, she went on to earn her Masters in Exercise Science from the University of Toledo. After working in a variety of settings, Debbie opened Sternen Physical Therapy in May of 1998 in Beachwood, Ohio. Her vision was to provide patient care in a setting that puts the patient's best interests first. She attended many headache, vestibular, and dental/TMJ seminars to gain a confident understanding of the craniomandibular cervical complex. Sternen Physical Therapy is now recognized in the Cleveland area for expert care of patients who are suffering with craniomandibular cervical disorders. You will feel comfortable in the hands of Debbie, who uses a "hands on" manual therapy approach to all of her patient care. Explore her wellness touch with a BodyWorks session.
