About Stella Dimitrakakis
Dr. Stella Dimitrakakis earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Touro College in Bay Shore, NY in 2009. After relocating from Long Island to New Jersey, she spent over 12 years working within a hospital-based system, where she treated a wide range of conditions across the orthopedic, neurological, and sports medicine spectrum. Her caseload included everything from post-operative rehab and chronic pain to concussions, vestibular dysfunction, and sports-related injuries.
Driven by a commitment to deliver the highest quality care, Dr. Stella pursued advanced certifications throughout her career. In 2019, she became a Certified Functional Manual Therapist (CFMT)—a prestigious designation awarded to clinicians who demonstrate advanced hands-on skills and clinical reasoning. She continued to expand her clinical expertise and became a Board-Certified Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) through the American Physical Therapy Association in 2022.
In 2023, Stella became a Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist through Core Exercise Solutions, combining her orthopedic background with a passion for women’s health and pelvic floor therapy.
With 16 years of experience, Dr. Stella provides comprehensive treatments for a wide range of conditions. These include musculoskeletal pathologies ranging from headaches, TMJ, neck and back pain, shoulder pain, and postpartum / pelvic floor issues. Dr. Stella remains committed to clinical excellence and lifelong learning, empowering her patients to move better, feel stronger, and live more fully.
In her free time, she enjoys reading, practicing yoga, traveling, and spending time with her family and two children.
