Dr. William J Gulli PT, DPT, OCS

Board-Certified Physical Therapist

Dr. William J Gulli graduated with his Doctor of Physical Therapy from Sacred Heart University in 2015 as well as with a B.S in Athletic Training in 2012. Furthering his education Dr. Gulli became an orthopedic certified specialist in 2021. During the course of his education/ working history he has worked with various populations including professional athletes, division 1 athletes, weekend warriors, patients with amputations, patients with neurological disorders and those who want to regain their independence.

Dr. Gulli’s first experience with the field of Physical Therapy was as a young athlete. During this time he was able to see how movement could help people get better. He experienced this again when he was a freshman in high school where he was able to witness how he could spend a lot of time helping people( what he wanted to do) without the need for medication. His decision to go to PT school was solidified when he spent time working as an athletic trainer in the WNBA. There was a Physical Therapist that worked with the team and his knowledge of rehabilitation and the human body far surpassed what he thought was possible, and decided that he wanted to be just like that.

Dr. Gulli has a passion for all aspects of physical therapy, but decided to pursue orthopedics due to its complexity and relationship to every system in the body. Physical Therapists are human movement experts. Musculoskeletal injuries cause abnormal movement patterns which causes pain and disrupts life.. Dr. Gulli believes that a Physical Therapist should be the first stop for anyone with musculoskeletal pain. Dr. Gulli’s plans to continue his pursuit of knowledge by becoming a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists
