About

Vanessa Vitullo graduated from Kean University in 2011 with a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology and then went on to earn an Associates in Applied Science from Union County College in 2014. In her many years of experience she has worked with a variety of conditions including post-operative, sports injuries, pediatrics, and balance/vestibular dysfunctions. Vanessa believes in an individualized approach to treating her patients and takes time to learn their goals, hobbies and interests. In addition to manual treatment and exercise, Vanessa believes in the importance of what patients can do to help in their own healing process, and prevent injuries. When she is not in the clinic she enjoys yoga, biking, and walking her dog.
