Dr. Rob Ruffalo

Founder, President and Lead Instructor of CESI Continuing Education Seminars Incorporated, which aims to teach both hands-on and lectured live courses that health care professionals can immediately utilize in a clinical setting.

A nationally known speaker, consultant and clinical educator, Dr. Ruffalo is a physical therapist (PT), Doctor of Chiropractic (DC), and is also a certified golf fitness instructor/medical professional, Level 3 by the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI CGFI-MP3), and a TPI Junior Level 2 Coach (JR2).

In addition to his work as a physical therapist and chiropractor (one of only few dual licensed practitioners in NJ), Dr. Ruffalo has a passion for educating his peers by providing continuing education courses for credit to physical therapists, chiropractors, physical therapy assistants, athletic trainers, massage therapists, insurance industry professionals as well as students pursuing their advanced degree.

Many of the seminars are based on the advanced work of two medical pioneers: the late Dr. John Mennell, an orthopedist and founder of the joint dysfunction model for diagnosis and treatment, and the late Dr. Janet Travell, who founded the trigger point (myofascial pain) model of diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Ruffalo was fortunate to have lectured and taught with these practitioners and researchers. These two pioneering clinicians influenced Dr. Ruffalo’s career and how he treats patients.
