About kevinekucko

Education: In 1995 I received my M.A degree in Physical Therapy from Tour College; 1990 I graduated from SUMY Cortland with a B.S. degree in Biology/Athletic Training.

Professional Experience: Since 1995 I have worked as a licensed physical therapist in NY and NC. From 2001 to 2011 I was the Director of Rehabilitation at a Regional Medical center in the Charlotte NC area. In that position I developed an occupational/back safety program that reduced time lost to work related injuries by over 60%. I have also developed treatment programs in Orthopedics, Peripheral Neuropathy and Treatment of the Temporomandibular joint. In 2011 I open my private practice in Mooresville NC where I continue to treat a diverse population.
Website: k2-Healthcare.comAdditional Information
I am licensed physical therapists with over 23 years of experience in physical rehabilitation. I have treated patients throughout my career including when serving as Director of Rehabilitation at a Regional Medical Center in the Charlotte NC area. I currently have a private practice, where I continue to treat patients’ full time. My specific areas of expertise include Occupational/ Work Injuries/Ergonomics, Peripheral Neuropathy, Orthopedics and treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. I have conducted research in these areas and presented throughout the United States at over 200 continuing education seminars for therapists, dentists and physicians. I have extensive experience with Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCE’s) and return to work testing.
ADVANTAGES: Include a meticulous review of medical records. I see this as the largest area overlooked or inadequately reviewed in preparation for trial and depositions. For cases where therapy and physical rehabilitation is involved, in the courtroom I often set the foundation for my clients by explaining medical conditions and interventions in a way that jurors understand. This sets the stage for the medical experts to follow and prove the case. As you can see from my CV, patient care has been my full-time focus. This has been tremendous asset in the courtroom avoiding the “hired expert” perception. While I have worked both for plaintiffs and defense, my attention to detail has allowed me to excel in helping defense attorneys find conflicting and mitigating factors.
