***Welcome to the team, Davin!***
Davin Kim, PT, DPT, brings a strong blend of clinical skill, curiosity, and patient-centered care to IPA Manhattan Physical Therapy. Born in Gangnam, South Korea, and raised in the United States, Davin’s lifelong fascination with understanding how things work naturally evolved into a passion for helping people restore movement and function.
He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Stony Brook University before completing his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at Long Island University. Davin’s early experience as a physical therapy aide introduced him to the transformative impact of rehabilitation, particularly for individuals living with chronic pain. He quickly recognized that effective care requires both advanced clinical reasoning and genuine empathy.
Davin refined his skills during his clinical training at IPA Manhattan, working under the direct mentorship of the practice’s highly skilled team. Immersed in the Functional Manual Therapy® approach, he gained hands-on experience treating a wide variety of complex conditions and collaborating across disciplines to achieve optimal outcomes. His commitment to professional growth extends beyond the clinic, as he actively pursues continuing education to deepen his expertise and expand his therapeutic toolkit.
Davin’s dedication to his patients is personal as well as professional. One of his most meaningful experiences came when he applied the principles he learned at IPA Manhattan to help his mother regain mobility and improve her quality of life — an experience that reinforced his passion for delivering exceptional, individualized care.
Outside the clinic, Davin enjoys cooking, spending time with his cat, watching UFC, and connecting with friends over video games.
