About Dr. Paul Jordan

Upon completion of post-graduate training, Dr. Jordan continued with a  pediatric lower limb and foot fellowship program which  included clinical study and practice with Dr. H. Kite [pediatric clubfeet], Dr. Oliver Sacks [neurology], Dr. Mihran O.Tachdjian [pediatric orthopedics] and Dr.Jacquelin Perry [pediatric orthopedics-biomechanics].

A two year fellowship program in cerebral palsy and neuromuscular disorders under the auspices of Cornell and Columbia Universities in conjunction with NY State United Cerebral Palsy Association ultimately defined the focus of his practice over the next 35 years.

He later became skilled in various surgical approaches and spent over 25 years performing selective percutaneous myofascial lengthening while working with Dr. Roy Nuzzo for over 30 years in the gait lab and operating room.

During this same time period Dr. Jordan developed techniques of motion analysis that was applied during his teaching at the Bobath Center in London and other medical facilities worldwide to include Israel, Ireland, Denmark, China, Hong Kong and throughout the United States.

Later, Dr. Jordan worked with Dr. Warwick Peacock (UCLA) , Dr. Lila Arens (South Africa) and Dr. Fred Epstein (NYU) as SDR (Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy was introduced as a spinal neurosurgical procedure for the relief of spasticity for children with cerebral palsy).

Less than a handful of practitioners in the world have had their entire practice devoted to podopediatrics and only one in the world to children with cerebral palsy and neuromuscular disorders.
