he states. He is well known by his patients as “Dr. Bob” and is dedicated to connecting with them emotionally and spiritually. Using his hands as tools to heal and relieve pain, he specializes in physical medicine, physiotherapy, spinal manipulation, Bowen technique , and acupuncture. Helping individuals optimize their health and restore wellness is Dr. Murphy’s primary goal.


For the past four years Dr. Murphy has also served the Univer- sity of Bridgeport School of Naturopathic Medicine as an adjunct clinical professor. He comments, “It’s such a privilege to pass along the years of diagnostic and clinical skills and judgement, that I have accrued, to these bright and ambitious students who represent the future of naturopathic medicine.” Dr. Murphy was fortunate in 2018 to travel to Jamaica for an ethnobotany program, to further his education, on the identifi cations and traditional medicinal uses of local fruits, foods and herbs.
