Walt Fritz

PT
Walt Fritz, PT, is a licensed physical therapist with a B.S. in Physical Therapy (1985) and a B.A. in Community Mental Health (1984) from SUNY Buffalo. He began practicing Myofascial Release (MFR) in 1992 and is the most experienced practitioner in the Central and Western New York region, including Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, and the Southern Tier. Over the past ten years, he has advanced the MFR work he learned and taught, and now refers to his approach as “manual therapy.” While there are many reasons for this updated name, much of it relates to the underlying concepts used to explain its effects. Healthcare is full of unsubstantiated claims; helping someone with the work you do is not equivalent to those results validating the claims made. Walt teaches his Foundations in Manual Therapy seminars worldwide to physical therapists, massage therapists, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists. With over 30 years of experience as a physical therapist, he combines the best of traditional physical therapy interventions with modern approaches to Myofascial Release.
