Founder
Shira Dragun, DPT is the proud owner of The PT Zone. A graduate of Northeastern University with a Bachelor in Rehabilitation Science and a Clinical Doctorate in Physical Therapy, she spent over a decade as a director, building PT businesses and assisting patients in achieving their functional and fitness goals. She holds multiple certifications, specializing in modality and exercise-based interventions for the clinical management of the fitness athlete.
Shira opened PTZ to offer a highly interactive, tailor-made approach to sports injury rehabilitation. She brings her enthusiasm, warm personality, and science-based methodology to make a treatment experience that is both effective and fun.
Shira has an innate zest for life and adventure. She is a travel junkie who has accomplished many adrenaline-filled feats around the world, ie skydiving, ice climbing, and river sledging. Having always gravitated towards strength-based exercise, Shira underwent a fitness overhaul to determine how adaptable the body is, tackling six half marathons in six months. She now focuses on a balanced training regiment and wants to share her tricks for recovery, joint health, and injury prevention to help you achieve physical feats beyond YOUR imagination.
In her spare time, Shira enjoys getting active outdoors with her husband and son.
