Kenneth Connolly, PT, DPT

Neurological Certified Specialist

Ken Connolly, PT, DPT, began his journey studying finance at Baruch College, developing his logic and problem solving abilities, but determining that finance was not the path for him. He began working as a PT aide for 2 different PT clinics, and quickly realized Physical Therapy was his calling.
The moment that stood out to him was when a patient said:

Empowerment has always been at the core of Ken’s values and skills. His first job ever was tutoring, in school he worked as a personal trainer, jobs focused on helping someone realize their full potential.

With the skills and desire to be an agent of change, Ken began his PT journey by attending Stony Brook PT program. In his time at Stony Brook, Ken worked with patients who had a variety of Neurological Diagnoses, such as: Parkinson’s Disease, Spinal Cord injury and Stroke. These experiences showed Ken what Physical Therapy truly is about, helping people get back to their lives, and empowering them to reach their full potential. Ken went on to graduate with honors and a passion for Neurological PT.

After graduating, Ken was hired by Northwell, and spent four years at Northwell STARS East Meadow honing his skills as a Neurological Physical Therapist. He spent thousands of hours treating patients with Parkinson’s, stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injury, and more. He continued advancing his skills through specialized training and became board-certified Neurological Clinical Specialist.

Driven to create more than a clinic, Ken founded Connections PT: a place where people can heal, connect, and reach their full potential.
