Dr. E is a fellowship trained cash based PT practice owner, entrepreneur, blogger, and sought after lecturer in the topic of Modern Manual Therapy. Erson graduated from D'Youville College in 1998 with a dual Bachelor's of Science and Master's of Science in Physical Therapy. His interests in Orthopaedics and Manual Therapy lead him to pursue a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of St. Augustine. Studying under Stanley Paris, Ph.D, PT, internationally known for his manual skills and knowledge of the spine as well as his distinguished faculty, Dr. Religioso earned his DPT and Manual Therapy Certification in 2000. He later became credentialed in Mechanical Diagnosis and Treatment of the Spine in 2000.Dr. Religioso became certified in evaluation and treatment of oromaxillary, craniofacial, and temporomandibular pain in 2005; this from extensive training and certification from Dr. Mariano Rocabado, PT, of Chile, one of the world’s foremost experts in treatment of temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Later in 2005, Dr. E obtained Fellow status in the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical TherapistsHe has a #CashPT Practice in the Buffalo, NY area, EDGE Rehab and Sport Science, where he specializes in TMD, headaches, spinal care, runners, gymnasts, and chronic pain. His focus is seeing the patient as little as possible, and empowering them with education, self assessment and treatment strategies.I have always been fascinated by movements and capabilities of the human body. I grew up in Malaysia, where I dedicated most of my childhood playing competitive badminton. My days were filled with hours of rigorous training and conditioning, all of which prepared me to win numerous state and national competitions. Shortly after representing Malaysia in the International Women’s Uber Cup Championships (equivalent to Davis Cup in tennis), I left to study physiotherapy at Northern Illinois University (NIU), through a sports scholarship. While at NIU, I received All-American honors and the distinguished Broderick Award (now known as Honda Award) in badminton.

My physiotherapy career began in Los Angeles, where I still continue to practice. As a strong proponent of life-long learning, I pursued an Advanced Master of Science degree in Physical Therapy and Biokinesiology at the University of Southern California and later on, an Advanced Standing doctoral degree in Physical Therapy from Western University of Health Sciences. I have been privileged to study under the tutelage of some of the pioneers in the movement system and functional medicine, namely, Shirley Sahrmann, PT, PhD, Vladimir Janda, MD, Karel Lewit, MD, and Pavel Kolar PT, PhD. Their profound impact on my professional life has inspired me to integrate various rehabilitative and pain science approaches into my current practice, as well as educating and empowering those around me.

I have been given many opportunities to share my area of expertise in the movement system to impact many clinicians both in the U.S. and internationally. I still maintain a limited practice at a clinic in the Los Angeles area (Pasadena) where I provide in-person consultations, when I am not lecturing or mentoring at hospitals, clinics and universities.
