OUR TEAM
Anthony Schena, CCAT
Anthony Schena, CCAT (Certified Companion Animal Rehabilitation Therapist), Owner, and Director of Operations, is certified through NC State College of Veterinary Medicine and has been practicing animal physical rehabilitation therapy since 2020. He graduated from Union College in 2015 with a degree in Applied Science in Physical Therapy. Since then, he has experience working in outpatient orthopedic physical therapy, with concentrations in both manual-based therapy and sports medicine until his switch in the animal physical therapy world.
Anthony has proficiencies in Manual Therapy techniques, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization, Kinesio-Taping/Athletic taping, Sports Rehabilitation & Return to Play, and Total-Joint Functional Rehabilitation.
Prior to Human Physical Therapy, Anthony was a Certified Personal Trainer focusing on Post-Rehabilitation/Strength and Conditioning.
Anthony is the proud pet parent of Miles, a charming 15 and a half year old Cockapoo, who has been his loyal sidekick through thick and thin.
Miles was the catalyst for Anthony's transition from human physical therapy to animal physical therapy. In 2019, Miles, who was 11 years old at the time, tore both of his ACLs/CCLs. After they were repaired, Anthony saw a deficit of availability for animal physical therapy and decided to change that. And so became the creation of Alpha Animal Rehabilitation and Fitness!
When it comes to his favorite animals to treat, Anthony’s heart belongs to dogs of all shapes and sizes. While he’s always up for a challenge, he admits cats aren’t quite his cup of tea.
Anthony has a hidden talent for improv. Whether it’s making up hilarious stories on the spot or bringing a bit of spontaneity to our clinic, he’s always ready to entertain and engage with a smile.
