Meet The Team

I began my physical therapy path in elder care, then jumped into outpatient rehab at NovaCare in Bayonne (now Kessler Rehab).

Two months in, I was promoted to clinic manager—youngest in their history.

And while the recognition was great, I wanted more than titles.

I wanted a clinic where patients weren’t rushed, patient plans weren’t copy-pasted, and patients like you weren’t just another appointment number on a schedule.

That’s why I co-founded Complete Physical Rehabilitation, so that I could do physical therapy my way:

Focusing on taking time with you, not speed.

My physical therapy journey started at NovaCare (now Kessler Rehab) alongside Dr. James.

After becoming clinic manager in Fair Lawn, I helped turn it into one of the top-performing clinics in Northern NJ.

But the more success I saw, the more I realized the system was too focused on seeing tons of patients and not enough on outcomes.

So we built something different for you.

At Complete Physical Rehabilitation, I help design and oversee company-wide physical therapy programs for spine, vestibular, and Parkinson’s treatment—built on evidence, empathy, and real-world success.

Diana began her 10+ year career at Complete Physical Rehabilitation as a physical therapy aide immediately after Graduating from Penn State University with a degree in Kinesiology. As the lead aide in the Elizabeth physical therapy clinic, she deepened her knowledge of the physical therapy field through exposure to orthopedic, neurologic, and vestibular cases.

In 2016, she completed the Physical Therapy Assistant program at Union County College and received her licensure from the New Jersey State Board of Physical Therapy. Through her time as a Physical Therapy Assistant, she has completed clinicals at Centrastate Medical Center in Freehold in the acute pediatric aquatic department, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in the aquatics & outpatient physical therapy department, and Procare Rehab in Clark, NJ.

She has an extensive background in handling vestibular, vertigo, and dizziness physical therapy programs, and is a certified LSVT BIG specialist for Parkinson’s physical therapy.

An active member of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), she is looking to deepen her knowledge in the areas of vestibular and Parkinson’s physical therapy while also furthering her interests in the areas of geriatric care, general fitness, and yoga.
