About the founder
In 2024 Caryn Bregman, PT, MS launched Renaissance Wellbeing Solutions as an extension of Renaissance Physical Therapy Arts + Wellness, which was founded in 2010. The formation of Renaissance Wellbeing Solutions resulted from Ms. Bregman spending years treating injuries that could have been prevented. Simple measures such as working in efficient alignment and addressing strength and mobility deficits in exercise and activities of daily living could have prevented many injuries. In addition, modifications in work-station set-up and scheduling of tasks have profound effects on mitigating and/or preventing injuries. Ms. Bregman has always been passionate about excellence in rehabilitative and preventive care. Ms. Bregman started Renaissance Physical Therapy Arts + Wellness to address individual rehabilitative and preventive needs of local and surrounding communities. Ms. Bregman is an orthopedic manual physical therapist specializing in orthopedic, sports and performing arts medicine. As a physical therapist Ms. Bregman has worked with athletes, professional dancers, actors, musicians, and the general public.
