Ali is a licensed physical therapist who has been practicing for over 13 years. Ali began her career as an intern at Brigham & Women's Hospital, training on the cardiac surgery and cardiology team. Ali then spent her early career as an inpatient physical therapist at Massachusetts General Hospital, with rotations on the orthopedic, burn, surgical and medical units. After building a strong foundation of inpatient medical knowledge, Ali transitioned to care for primarily geriatric-aged patients in both short term rehab and home care settings in suburban communities (including those living on Independent Living and Assisted Living campuses).
Ali founded Cronin Physical Therapy to meet the demand to deliver high quality physical therapy treatment driven by patient-centered needs and goals. Ali enjoys working with the geriatric patient population, specifically in improving functional mobility and decreasing the risk for falls. Ali is a strong advocate for fall prevention and is passionate about helping the active, elderly population thrive.
