Licensed Physical Therapist, Owner
Walter VanCura worked in the engineering and aerospace industries until his interest in human physiology and body systems, coupled with a desire to help people, prompted him to enroll at Stony Brook University to become a physical therapist.
After completing his studies, Walter began treating patients at St. Charles Hospital, where he remained until 2000. He then moved into private practice, seeing pediatric patients in their home environment and treating adults at his office. By 2002, his practice had grown to such an extent that he opened Wading River Physical Therapy, where he continues to offer the excellent care and personalized attention that brings him clients from as far away as Queens.
