Pyschology for the body
Ari Ginsberg, PT, DPT, MSIOP

Physical Therapist and Industrial/Organizational Psychologist
CEO/Founder of Psychology for the Body

The Psychology for the Body Story
Ari Ginsberg, PT, DPT, MSIOP, founded Psychology for the Body in 2020 with the mission of providing psychology focused education and coaching/consulting to rehab clinicians and organizations in order to help them achieve their clinical, professional, and financial goals. Prior to starting Psychology for the Body, Ari was a home health physical therapist in northern New Jersey for 10 years. He quickly developed a reputation in his home health agency for excellence in clinical care and bedside manner/patient satisfaction. In addition to being a dedicated physical therapist, Ari has always been a passionate student and proponent of psychology, and realized that his success at patient care was predicated on his knowledge and application of psychology techniques and strategies. In fact, he believed based on his experience and observations that bedside manner was as significant a factor as clinical skills in facilitating positive patient outcomes.

The Growth of Psychology for the Body

The idea of sharing a formula for maximizing patient satisfaction emerged, and subsequently the first webinar was created; The Science of Bedside Manner and Patient Satisfaction. After the first webinar, Psychology for the Body expanded and developed continuing education courses on other psychology focused PT/OT topics including preventing burnout, leadership training, exercise motivation, and ethics. The webinars are approved physical therapy courses and occupational therapy courses by the NY Board of PT, AOTA. Many of the courses are approved by the NJ Board of PT and the Ohio Physical Therapy Association. They are all founded on peer reviewed research and academic literature.

Coaching and Consulting from Psychology for the Body

Ari is both a Doctor of Physical Therapy and has a Master's degree in Industrial/Organizational psychology. Aside from CEU instruction, Ari is a seasoned coach and organizational consultant helping his clients maximize their patient satisfaction scores, lower turnover rates, and increase job satisfaction. His coaching style emphasizes empowering his clients to choose the best possible course of action based on psychological insight, in order to ultimately succeed.
