About
Meet Tony Yu,
Founder of Rewind Rehab
Hi, I’m Tony Yu — an occupational therapist and movement specialist dedicated to helping active people recover, perform, and stay pain-free. I started Rewind Rehab with a simple mission: to give patients the focused, one-on-one care that’s often missing in traditional clinics.
As a lifelong mover and someone who understands the frustration of pain holding you back, I believe in treating the whole person — not just the symptoms.
My Approach:
Find the Root Cause – Using advanced assessment methods (like NeuroKinetic Therapy and SFMA), I uncover hidden movement imbalances.
Hands-On Care – Through techniques such as Active Release Therapy and manual therapy, I restore balance and function.
Active Rehab – With tailored movement and strength programs, I help you build lasting resilience.
Training & Certifications:
Licensed Occupational Therapist (OTR/L)
NeuroKinetic Therapy, Level 3 Certified
Active Release Techniques (ART) Certified
Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES)
Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA)
Certified Ergonomics Assessment Specialist (CEAS)
Certified Kinesiotaping Practitioner (CKTP)
Whether you’re an athlete, musician, professional, or student, every session at Rewind Rehab is designed to help you move better, recover faster, and stay strong for the long run.
It all started with music.
In college, I co-founded Music & Medicine — a student group that combined my passion for the saxophone with my studies. We performed regularly at nursing homes and treatment centers, bringing music to patients who needed it most.
One performance at Stony Brook University Hospital changed everything.
I was playing Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon” when something incredible happened. One of the patients in the room — a young man who’d been in a coma for two weeks — opened his eyes.
The room froze. Nurses, social workers, his mother… everyone was stunned.
As it turned out, he was a lifelong Sinatra fan. And somehow, the music reached him when nothing else could.
That moment became my calling.
I realized then that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. What reaches one person won’t reach another. Every individual needs something different — a personalized approach that speaks to who they are and what they need.
That’s the philosophy I bring to Rewind Rehab.
I don’t believe in standard protocols or assembly-line treatments. I believe in taking the time to understand you — your body, your goals, your story — and creating a plan that’s built specifically for your recovery.
Because you deserve more than routine care.
You deserve treatment that’s designed for you.
“You will not get this kind of attention at another clinic.”
