Hello. My name is Christopher Rodolico, and I am the Assistant Director for Lehigh Valley Health Network’s Neurological Physical Therapy Residency. I was born and raised in South Philly and graduated from Drexel University in 2016 with my Doctor of Physical Therapy. I have experience and post-graduate training in treating diverse groups of individuals across the life span, ranging through the spectrums of orthopedics, neurology, sports medicine, limb loss, pediatrics and cardiopulmonary. A proud generalist, I have diversified, advanced training while holding a particular passion regarding the field of sustainable athleticism. I have been involved in the field of fitness and wellness since entering college, where I was a personal trainer and researcher in Drexel University’s exercise physiology lab prior to entering rehabilitation.

I lecture in physical therapy programs throughout the area and serve as a clinical instructor to DPT students, as well as actively lead and coordinate continuing education courses provided to students and professionals. Additionally, I have developed health workshops for community members, advocating for the benefits of physical therapy and “movement as medicine.” In my role as a clinical rehab specialist, I have worked to bridge the gap between inpatient and outpatient care by serving as a front-line leader in establishing clinical residency and fellowship programs. Additionally, I am a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and lover of all movement-related topics.
