Dr Donna Behr is a physical therapist with over 35 years of clinical experience. She has run her own private practice since 2014. Prior to that, she worked in hospital-based and out-patient settings in the Greater Boston area. In addition to clinical practice, she was an adjunct faculty member at Northeastern University, Simmons College and MGH-IHP in their entry level PT programs.

Donna earned her clinical doctorate, and post-professional masters degree (with a specialization in orthopedics/manual therapy), from the Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions. She had previously received her B.S. degree in physical therapy from Northeastern University in Boston. Donna is a certified Postural Restoration therapist (PRI), and a Polestar and NCPT Pilates instructor.

Donna has appreciated how each opportunity to dive deeper into a clinical subject area has enhanced her ability to assess and treat the myriad of dysfunctions that limit her clients from returning to their desired levels of performance. Becoming aware of the thoraco-respiratory issues that are so common in her clients began with her work with PRI. The perspectives gained from IBT training have deepened Donna’s clinical as well as personal practice of physical therapy and pilates.
