Meet the Founder
Robin Stoller Ph.D, P.T.
Robin is a native New Yorker residing on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. She has been a PT for over 30 years and more recently a certified Pilates instructor. She graduated from SUNY Stony Brook in 1988 with a BS in Physical Therapy and a Masters in Orthopedic Physical Therapy from Long Island University in 1991. Robin’s commitment to excellence led her to go on to earn a Ph.D in Movement Sciences from Seton Hall University in 2013. Her doctoral dissertation research was performed at the prestigious Leon Root Motion Analysis Lab at The Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC.
Early in her career, Robin compiled over 15 years of experience at two of NYC’s premier orthopedic hospitals, the Hospital for Special Surgery and the Hospital for Joint Diseases. Here she collaborated with NY’s top orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, rheumatologists and fellow physical therapists.
In 2003, Robin opened her own outpatient practice
Advantage Orthopedic & Sports Physical Therapy.
During this time, Robin developed a passion for working with older adults. Recognizing that seniors frequently are unable to make it to the clinic, Robin segued her practice into a home PT practice in 2015, Advantage Physical & Occupational Therapy. Here she is committed to providing the best standard of care in physical therapy.
