MEET TERRY FRANGOPOULOS PT,CSSC
Terry, is the founder of SOMAFIT, a revolutionary, results-driven orthopedic rehabilitation facility located in Long Island. He is devoted to the training of world-renowned osteopath, Dr. Guy Voyer, of Marseilles, France. Terry is a Licensed Physical Therapist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist.
Terry’s physical therapy degree comes from Stony Brook University Medical Center, which fueled his lifelong quest to understand the way the systems of the human body interact for performance, healing and wellbeing. He has worked as a strength coach administering training programs with MLB farm teams and worked privately with NHL players.
Terry’s journey began after being sidelined from basketball for over 5 months due to a sudden knee injury. He grew frustrated with the lack of results he experienced with traditional physical therapy. Upon recommendations from his colleague, he went to see Dr. Voyer. He credits his full recovery to the osteopathic manual therapy and the prescribed exercise program, he was able to get back on the court in just 5 weeks.
For the past 10 years Terry has studied both privately and at the Academy Sutherland of Osteopathy in Canada, under world renowned French osteopath, Guy Voyer, DO. The advanced training allowed Terry to apply Dr. Voyer’s ELDOA method and articular pumping techniques to bring the body to a pain-free state and prevent future injuries. This radical new approach bridges the gap between osteopathic manual therapy and physical therapy. SOMAFIT is rooted in the analytical study of anatomy, fascia, and the tensegrity model of biomechanics. Terry, is one of the few qualified to teach Voyer’s somatherapy and ELDOA Method.
