Brian Dressel

DPT

• Rutgers, Doctor of Physical Therapy
• Ramapo College of New Jersey, BS – Accounting; Minor – Economics

Originally from New Jersey, Brian and his family recently relocated to Brewster permanently from New Jersey after years of vacationing here during the summers.

Brian took a different route than most to get into physical therapy, having graduated and beginning his career as an accountant. He spent 2 years in that role before realizing that his passion lay outside of accounting. Following that, Brian spent 6 years working with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities as an instructor specializing in getting that population ready for competitive employment and independent living. During that time he attained a personal trainer certification and started a health and wellness program, which sparked his passion for movement and exercise. Brian spent the latter 2 years of his time there working full time and going back to school at nights and weekends to complete the prerequisite courses in order to get into PT school, which he started with a 6 week old newborn.

During his time as a doctorate student, Brian had the opportunity to spend time in various settings including a hospital, school, Schroth scoliosis clinic, and general orthopedic outpatient facilities before deciding that general orthopedics was the right fit for him. Brian spent two and a half years working for a large PT practice in New Jersey before relocating to the cape, where he gained experience working in general orthopedics, vestibular rehab, and neuro rehab. He enjoys working with patients across the lifespan and improving the overall function for his patients. Brian takes pride in his ability to help patients to understand their anatomy, their specific condition, and making sure they are fully involved with their rehab plan.

Outside of the clinic, Brian can be found spending time with his wife, two daughters and two dogs. He enjoys the beach, exercising and working on home projects. He also has a fiery passion for Eagles football!
