Sabrina Yakubovich
Dr. Sabrina Yakubovich, PT, DPT, CSCS
Sabrina earned a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from Temple University before completing her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at New York University. With a lifelong passion for movement, she spent 18 years training in both ballroom dance and ballet —an experience that continues to inform her clinical practice.
​
As a physical therapist, Sabrina has had the opportunity to work closely with performing artists, helping cast members from Broadway productions such as The Lion King, Hadestown, and Hamilton return to the stage safely and confidently. While pursuing her doctorate, she also became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), which expanded her ability to work with athletes across disciplines, from injury rehabilitation to performance optimization.
​
Her background as a personal trainer and dancer allows her to blend strength, control, and artistry into her treatment style. She is passionate about not only helping patients recover, but guiding them all the way back to doing what they love—stronger than before. Outside of the clinic, you can find Sabrina dancing, catching a Broadway show, or enjoying a stroll in the park with her dog, Maple.
