Philip LaGamma DPT
Doctor of Physical TherapyDr. Philip LaGamma graduated from Mercy College in 2014 with a dual degree consisting of a B.S. in Health and Sciences and his Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Prior to graduating Mercy College, Philip attended Fairfield University and received his B.A. in Sociology.
After graduating college in 2005, Philip became heavily involved in the personal training field and worked as a personal trainer for 10 years prior to starting his Physical Therapy career. During his time as a personal trainer, Philip met his wife Samantha and together they achieved their dreams of becoming health professionals. Philip and Samantha married in August 2014 in New Rochelle, New York, and began their respective careers as healthcare professionals shortly after. In 2017, Philip and Samantha moved to Punta Gorda, Florida, to be closer to family.
Philip has always been involved in sports—growing up he played baseball and hockey during high school, and in college his love for sports shifted toward a love for fitness. He has always loved helping people achieve their fitness goals, and that passion has carried into his Physical Therapy career. Philip has extensive experience treating a wide variety of orthopedic and neurological conditions. He especially enjoys treating post-surgical, neck, back, shoulder, and hip injuries, but his favorite cases are athletic-related injuries.
While working as a Physical Therapist in New York, Philip became a certified running technique specialist through the POSE Method of Running. He worked with athletes at PACE University, helping them return to their peak physical performance.
