About Manhattan Physical Therapy
What physical therapy is
Physical therapy is treatment that uses movement, exercise and hands-on care to reduce pain and help you move and function better. A physical therapist works out why something hurts, not just where, and then gives you a plan to fix it: exercises, manual therapy, and changes to how you sit, lift, train or work.
At our clinic that starts with a detailed evaluation, which can include diagnostic ultrasound and a 3D movement scan. From there, every session is one-on-one.
What to expect at your first visit
Plan for about 60 minutes. Follow-up visits average about 45 minutes. We'll ask about your pain, your history and your goals, then test strength, mobility and how you move. You'll leave with a clear explanation of what's going on, a first set of exercises, and a plan for how many visits it's likely to take. Wear clothes you can move in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Manhattan Physical Therapy located?
We're in Midtown Manhattan at 385 5th Ave, Suite 503 (at 36th Street), New York, NY 10016, a short walk from Grand Central, Bryant Park and Herald Square.
What are your hours?
We're open Monday to Friday, 8 am to 7 pm, so early and after-work appointments are easy to fit around a Midtown workday. Call 212-213-3480 to book.
Do you accept insurance?
We accept most major plans, including Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare. Call our office at 212-213-3480 to confirm your coverage.
What conditions do you treat?
We treat back and neck pain, knee pain and ACL injuries, shoulder and rotator cuff problems, plantar fasciitis, sciatica and disc problems, plus Bell's Palsy, pelvic floor dysfunction and post-surgical recovery.
What makes your clinic different?
We combine diagnostic ultrasound and 3D movement scans with Redcord suspension therapy and one-on-one care, so treatment is based on what we find, not a generic protocol.
Are sessions really one-on-one?
Yes. Your whole session is with your clinician. You won't be handed off to an aide or share your time with other patients.
What is physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is another name for physical therapy. It uses exercise, hands-on treatment and education to reduce pain and restore movement after injury, surgery or long-term problems.
What should I expect in physical therapy?
Your first visit is a 60-minute evaluation: history, movement and strength testing, and a clear explanation of what's going on. Follow-up visits run about 45 minutes on average and mix hands-on treatment with exercises, and you'll get a home program to do between sessions.
What strengthening exercises does a physical therapist prescribe?
It depends on the problem. Common examples are bridges and side planks for the back and hips, squats and step-ups for the knees, and band rotations for the shoulder. We pick and progress exercises to match what your body can handle.
Do I need a referral for physical therapy in New York?
Usually not. Under New York's direct-access rules, most patients can start physical therapy without a doctor's referral. Limits may apply depending on your insurance plan, so call 212-213-3480 and we'll help you check your coverage.
How do I choose the right physical therapist in NYC?
Look for a licensed physical therapist who treats your specific problem, works with you one-on-one for the whole session, and builds a plan around your goals. Check recent reviews, ask about insurance, and pick a clinic that's easy to reach from work or home.
How can I ease sciatic nerve pain?
Gentle walking, changing position often, and specific nerve and back exercises help many people. Avoid long stretches of sitting. If pain spreads down the leg with numbness or weakness, get it evaluated. Our sciatica page explains how we treat it.
