If you're looking for thoughtful, hands-on physical therapy in Forest Hills, look no further. Ron and his team at Ergo Physical Therapy are knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely friendly. I came in with a frozen left shoulder and a lot of pain, and week by week I could feel real progress. Ron's hands-on manual therapy made a huge difference, and his calm, encouraging approach made it possible to work through the discomfort and steadily regain movement. Chris and Brian carefully guided my exercises, watching form closely and making thoughtful adjustments to ensure I was doing everything correctly. The clinic runs very efficiently. Equipment is always ready, the staff keeps everything organized, and each visit feels purposeful and well run. The front desk team is welcoming and incredibly helpful with scheduling and insurance approvals, which makes the process much easier. This past week felt like a true breakthrough. My shoulder is moving more freely, and the intense pain I first had is gone. It's such a relief to feel the difference in my shoulder. I highly recommend Ron and the entire Ergo PT team for skilled, personalized care that really works. read more

Professional service. Friendly staff. Staff displays great teamwork. And they accept insurance.

I just turned 80, and after an operation on my lower back 1 1/2 years ago, my back recently started to hurt again. My doctor suggested trying physical therapy and Ergo PT was on his list of places I could pick from and it was very close to my apartment. From the beginning, I felt cared for. The reception staff is great. They are always very helpful in setting up my schedule and changing times if I have to. They call me by my name, coming and going, and are always smiling. That always takes my mind away from what I have to do once I'm inside. Ergo tends to keep to their schedule. Within a few minutes before or after my appointment time, Brian opens the door and shows me the exercises I have to do. He keeps an eye on me to make sure I'm doing everything right. (But he doesn't worry about me when I warm up on the bicycle. He doesn't have to worry because I'm told people don't forget how to ride a bicycle.) My PT therapist is Anna. The first time I met with her she must have spend 1/2 an hour listening to me explain why I was there. After I finish the several exercises Brian tells me to do, I lie on a massage table. Anna is just excellent. She knows exactly where to rub, massage, or press on my back. By the time she finishes with me and when the soreness goes away, I feel much better. During my last visit, she found a knot in my muscle and when she pressed on it, it really hurt. When I was much much younger, a therapist working on stretching my arm after rotator cuff surgery, kept saying sorry. But she kept pulling so she wasn't sorry at all. Anna didn't say sorry. Anna kept trying to loosen that knot. She knew what had to do to help. It's been five days since then and that muscle hasn't bothered be once! When I started, my back hurt. The pain came and went as it pleased, After five weeks, the pain doesn't come very often and when it does, it's much less than before I started. I hope by the end of my series of visits, my back will hardly bother me at all. I know the care Anna gives me, I see how she works with other clients and how other therapisst care for their clients. Everyone seems to try professional andI highly recommend Ergo Physical Therapy. It's just marvelous. read more

My back was hurting me on & off for past 3 years. I finally decided to see my doctor and got an xray and it was my scapula area. She recommended physical therapy. My husband previously went to Ergo and had a good experience and recommended me there. I started going and kept to the schedule of seeing them 2x a week at least. I am proud to say today was my last day after a few months. The staff is really nice, patient, caring and really know how to take care of what you need to work on. I am kinda sad today was my last day because I actually enjoyed doing PT probably because staff is so great. Justin, Brian, Delilah are all amazing. Hopefully I don't need anymore PT in future but if I do I know where to go! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND ! I have been in care by "Jee Young Park" on physical therapy. She is very patient and caring. She listens to your special need and will adjust accordingly to help your recovery process. She is very professional and knowledgeable, with very helpful suggestions. It's very hard to find a good therapy these days. Will definitely 100% see her again! read more

After 3 ankle surgeries, Ron got me back on my feet. I have been running multiple miles a day. Ergo is an amazing PT spot with an extremely genuine staff. If you are looking for quality physical therapist, staff and a strong recovery (whether it is your arms, shoulder, wrist,legs or ankles) this is definitely a stellar location. Don't wait until the pain gets worst, call Ergo Physical Therapy. They got me back on my feet and helped me build my confidence back!! read more

Type of care. A large gym with plenty of ways to exercise all with instruction of how to get feel better

Highly recommend! All the staff are friendly and help everything I need. Nathan is the best physical therapist I've ever seen. He is so professional and gave me a lot of advice. read more

Ergo is a first-rate facility. The PTs are expertly trained, experienced, kind and helpful. Your individual situation and physical therapy needs are addressed with great, knowledgeable and UNHURRIED attention to detail and your progress is carefully tracked. Ron Kassob, the founder/owner, is himself a DPT with years of experience. I am currently in rehab for hip replacement surgery complicated by an extensive DVT ( Deep Vein Thrombosis) in the "surgical" leg and I absolutely trust Ron and his staff when I'm taken through range-of-motion exercises I need to regain mobility. The facility is spanking clean, with a lot of natural light through the windows, and equipment maintained in prime condition. I recommend Ergo enthusiastically and without reservations of any kind. A great place! read more

I feel as if I have gone to Lourdes. I can walk again. My pain and cane are gone. The therapists are so knowledgeable and pleasant and helpful. They are on my case every minute I am there. What a find! I am so lucky to have found them. read more

I made an appointment last week and stopped by this past Monday, hoping to find some relief for my lower back/sciatica problems. The receptionist was friendly and efficient, and the waiting area was clean, well-lit, and a pleasant spot to fill out papers and wait to be seen. Once a physical therapist came for me, we headed back for an initial conversation. During this time I informed him of my medical history/some current complications. He was extremely apologetic, but explained that he would feel more comfortable if I sought out a type of specialist that they don't currently have there, so as to do what is best for me medically and not waste my time on something potentially ineffective. He seemed very concerned that I might be upset at not being able to start treatment with them, and of course that's why I was there, however, I have tremendous respect and appreciation for professionals who use their knowledge and judgement to give genuine advice, especially when it is not what benefits them most. He made sure that I got back my copay and prescription, and encouraged me to call him if I had any questions or needed help finding a specialist. Although I couldn't proceed with treatment at this time, I truly appreciate the professionalism of this practice. Based on that alone, I would absolutely recommend it to others, and I would definitely consider coming back once my current medical issue is no longer a going concern. read more

I'm so glad I went to Ergo for my PT! Everyone there is outstanding, from the office staff to the PT aides to the physical therapists. All of them are kind, caring professionals. The owner, Ron, is truly dedicated to his patients and runs an excellent facility. I'm making great progress with my condition with their expert care and encouragement. It's been life-changing for me. The place itself is modern and spotless & you're always seen on time, never a wait. Very highly recommend! read more

In the past I've had a hip replacement, a spinal fusion and still deal with a torn meniscus and neurological pain almost daily. In addition a elderly friend of mine who through inactivity and bad postural habits was declining far too quickly and so both of us needed to have some therapy. We initially sought out physical therapy in a different location and after the 2nd visit I told my friend we need to find another place for some days there was not even a receptionist and the therapists there were very inept and lacked the experience, skill, energy and kindness that Ergo has so much of. I then found Ergo online with great reviews (now I know why) and Ergo proved to be worlds apart from our initial experience . From the moment we walked in there is a uplifting energy 1st emanating from Gabby the receptionist at the front desk to Brian and Deleana the PT's. I knew we found our home for the next 3 months. Ron the owner and PT is so professional a super competent therapist and a wonderful inciteful diagnostician. Many years ago I worked in a health facility and that enabled me to recognize that Ergos stands head and shoulders above the rest. My friend after some sessions has shown a significant improvement in function and strength and for someone who always disliked physical activity he genuinely looks forward to his visits and only wishes that his script was for a longer period of time...I also agree with other reviewers that ur never kept waiting ur always seen @ ur scheduled time.Ergos is run like a well oiled machine.... read more

This my second time at Ergo for a different issue. Four months of working with Jonathan, my Physical Therapist has made such an improvement in my shoulder tear. I feel that I am back to at least 85% to where I should be. All of this without surgery. The whole team is great especially Brian and Arielle. One gets very personal care there! I highly recommend Ergo!! read more

This is the second time I get treated at Ergo with success. I was suffering of terrible hip pain and unable to drive for more than 30 min and within 6 sessions my pain decreased to almost nothing and now I can finally enjoy long road trips again. I truly recommend Ergo to anyone in need if Physical Therapy. Everyone is so welcoming, and professional read more

I had an amazing experience. Their professionalism, care and concern gives Ergo a five star. My therapist was David, and he was amazing. My injury happened when I went to Mexico on a vacation. While I was swimming a current in the ocean twisted my body one way and another current took my arm another direction which caused the dislocation. Came back to NY; wearing a sling. I went after the best help so I got a MRI that showed I had a broken bone that does not grow back and may need surgery. With the help of the team at Ergo, I do not need to go for surgery. With the advice and tips which will help prevent injury was a wealth of information. Thank you David and staff! read more

See all

I highly recommend Ergo physical therapy for all the pains and discomforts. I'm getting treatment from dr Ron Kasab who is very knowledgeable and thorough. Only after 4 visits I'm feeling relieved from my shoulder pain. They have a very clean and organized gym facility. The whole staff takes care of me courteously and patiently. read more

This is a long overdued Review: Ergo was recommended to me by my home care physical therapist after my total knee replacement surgery in 2019. I have done PT in other top notch hospitals and clinics over the years. After several visits with DPT David, I can say Ergo is right up at the top! Everyone at Ergo including Ron, were very friendly, helpful and made me feel comfortable. DPT David gave me an evaluation and assigned a treatment plan to help me regain strength and balance of my legs. He evaluated my progress at the beginning of every session and adjusted the exercises & treatments accordingly. He paid attention to my gaiting problem so I could walk normal again. I highly recommend Ergo to everyone who has total knee replacement surgery. read more

Just wanted to give a shout-out to my favorite place for Physical Therapy - Ergo Physical Therapy in Forest Hills - I have been here for continuous therapy with knee replacement and back pain and after going to several other places - this is the best "boutique facility", From the top - Ron- owner and therapist -caring, kind , highly skilled and the consummate professional, Therapist -Stephanie - a top-notch pro , caring individual, she has helped me tremendously over the last year and a half. And the rest of the Therapists -Michelle, Jonathan, and David you can see how much they care about their patients The aids -Sheena, Rebecca, Beth, Brian, and Kristoff -they work so hard and are always so helpful. The office staff - always cheerful, helpful and just so nice -Nancy, Sydney, Martha, Jessica and Biviana. I cannot say enough about how happy I am that I found Ergo ! read more

Ergo is an excellent physical therapy facility. My therapist Stephanie was kind, skilled and patient. The exercises she developed were helpful and realistic for my condition. She also gently but effectively massaged my affected leg. While they have some basic exercise machines, most of the exercises involved steps, stretching against a wall and resistance bands for strengthening, which made it easy to continue the work at home. Thanks for your help. read more

I have been under their expert care on two separate occasions and both times completely recovered from a long time knee issue and a repetitive motion "tennis elbow" injury. I worked primarily with Jee Young Park, PT, DPT, who was very professional and personable. I would highly recommend her and all of the staff at Ergo PT. read more

In a nutshell: they brought me back to life!!! And they did so in four(!) separate occasions. You might think I'm some-kind of a pro-athlete or wanna-be. Sadly... I'm not, but in the past 7-10 years I've been under Ergo PT care for dislocated shoulder, broken ankle, after a knee orthoscopy. This time I came after a fall injury with a twisted back and really painful knee. On my earlier visits I worked with Ron, the owner. As one who works in healthcare, I can tell you the difference between those who are "ok" or "good enough" and those who are excellent and know what they're doing. This team, especially Ron and Jon, have a great eye to where the problem stems from, beyond the x-ray/MRI reports. This time it was with Jon. He is a magician at work! My back and knee hurt so much I couldn't breath, literally. My back shifted to the right. Within one session there was a significant improvement. If you follow his instructions you will feel the improvement too. On top of being a great physical therapist, a real pro, he is human, what we call a "mentch": Kind, patient, he listens, cares, gives right advice and always with a smile. Usually, I don't care much for the "nice" healthcare professionals, as long as they know their job. But when you work hands-on with ppl, it's important. Ron has this gift and he has the gift of hiring the right ppl. Jon is a proof of that. The whole team, from the front desk, are welcoming, pleasant and professional :Martha, Sandy - always with a smile, always helping and explaining questions you might have regarding your insurance. The other beauty of this group is that they REALY work as a team. Bottom line: if you need physical therapy, search no more! It was debilitating to injure my back and knee. Jon literally brought me back to life! Thank you Jon, Ron, Brian, Rebecca, Ebony, Sandy and Martha. I hope I won't need you again but if I do, no doubt, you're my only choice. read more

I bring my mother twice a week for therapy with Lauren. We've seen a significant improvement in her knee and she's able to walk better now. Brian (Therapist assistant) is also great & always gives my mom different exercises to do every time so she doesn't get bored lol... She usually sees Lauren towards the end for one of her wonderful massages! Overall, we're grateful with the treatment my mom's been receiving at Ergo's and we highly recommend. Only negative thing is- if you have any payment to make, try to bring exact change. Most of the time the reception area doesn't have any, causing me to go to the store and purchase something just to get the change, making it a tad bit inconvenient... But it's not that serious :) It's a pleasure regardless to come to Ergo... Everyone is professional, appointments are punctual & the office is clean. read more

I've never had PT before but I needed it for my shoulder. I found Ergo through Yelp. I read the reviews and they were pretty much on target. It really is a great facility. It's in a convenient location right above the Forest Hills subway in the building above the 7-Eleven. The facility is clean and the staff is pleasant and professional. My PT, Stephanie, is knowledgeable and kind. I only had a couple sessions (before Ergo closed because of the pandemic) but the introduction and sessions were good. During the introduction, she checked the range and movement of the shoulder and told me what needed to be done to get it working again without pain. Brian also helped me in the second session with stretching and was very helpful. The office is well run in setting up the appointments and informing me that the place would need to close. Even though the office called, Stephanie was very nice in calling me the day before closing to check up on my shoulder, encouraged me to keep doing the exercises and to see if there were any questions or concerns I had. i've been using the helpful exercises she gave me and will return if I need it. May everyone at Ergo be well during this outbreak. read more

I have been through a lot in the last few months. I've been working hard at ERGO to come back and with the support of David and the aides I have made wonderful progress. The front office staff is kind and efficient. If I would operate a place like this I would want to have kind, sensitive, supportive, competent therapists like David on my staff. read more

Ergo Physical Therapy was an integral part of fully recovering my left knee (which went through ACL surgery). The receptionists, assistants, and of course - the physical therapists! - were all very friendly and professional. The facility was very clean and neatly organized. I can honestly say that throughout my time at Ergo Physical Therapy, I've grown very comfortable with the team here. It really felt like home after a couple visits and I was excited to actually go to my PT sessions! I firmly believe that you are in extremely capable hands of the team at Ergo! read more

I had back surgery and went to Ergo Physical Therapy. I went there 3 times a week for a month and I saw tremendous progress in my rehabilitation after surgery. The therapists there are very knowledgeable and patient. I highly recommend them. read more

I had heart surgery at the end of March 2021 and needed physical rehabilitation. I went to Ergo twice a week and the exercise/stretching regimen they put me on had me in good as new shape within 4 weeks. Ron Kassab, the owner, pays attention to all the details of each visit and the entire staff is very professional. I highly recommend them. read more

I've been getting treatments off and on for several years. Depends on what I damage next. They always get me back to normal. I've been to a number of PT places in the past that basically do the same treatment on every patient. Ergo is just the opposite. They know what they are doing and the treatments are tailored to the specific needs of that session. The staff (Brian, Erika and, of course my main PT provider: Luis Escobar), is friendly and knowledgeable and front desk people make the world of insurance as painless as it can be. I was referred to Ergo by a friend and I always recommend them to anyone I meet who needs PT treatments. read more

I am thrilled to have found Ron and his staff. I was having shooting pain in one foot and self-diagnosed via the Internet with plantar fasciitis. The very first treatment reduced my pain by a lot, like from 10/10 to 2/10. Ron noticed that my foot, and all the way up to my hip on that side, had reduced flexibility/mobility, so he has been working on that as the underlying problem in addition to relieving the pain. I've been really impressed with the pleasant, professional staffers and the careful thought that goes into all the treatment protocols. The location is convenient and they take my insurance. What more could I ask for?! Ergo is the best. read more

I recently recovered from a clavicle surgery, thanks to the help fo Michelle, Kristof and the rest of the staff from Ergo Physical Therapy. They took good care of me and they were very professional. The location couldn't be any more perfect, they are accessible thru E or F express trains, R or M local trains and the LIRR is only a block away. Street parking is also available. read more

Found this PT office after my dr. determined that I had arthritis on my knee. I had to learn how to strengthen and loosen certain muscles. Before I came, I was in very deep pain. Now I am on my way to full mobility. However as Ron, my PT therapist keeps telling me, I have to keep up with my exercises or my body will revert to the old way and I will be in pain again. They gave me exercises to do at home so I could further implement their program into my daily workout. The staff also were able to answer all my questions. The facility is clean and the staff is friendly and professional. I am very happy that this office was referred to me. I highly recommend ERGO! read more

Great attention from a well coordinated team. Therapy is individually determined with care. Near public transportation. Highly recommend.

I've been coming to Ergo for a couple months now after a tough surgery on my shoulder. When my doctor prescribed physical therapy I thought it'd be a drag, but man... I actually look forward to PT now. My therapist Michelle has been fantastic and the facility itself is a spotless little hub of pure zen. The whole staff is very cordial and outgoing, and I've seen them be quick to adapt to every patient's needs (gentle with older folks, no b.s. with excitable younger ones). If you're looking for a PT location around Forest Hills, look no further! read more

I've been under treatment at Ergo for years on and off for different problems. The reason why I kept going back was Therapist J. If I had any doubt the first time being under his care, it was not necessary. The PT assistants there were very helpful. However, all these changed at my last treatment. During initial evaluation, I was shocked to hear Therapist J stating that nowadays insurance does not approve as many visits as it used to and I should let him know what my goal is within the time frame of insurance paying for treatment. When patients committed financially with their time to recover, the last message they want to hear is therapists can just do that much within the limit of insurance and patients should set a goal themselves accordingly. Is it a common sense for medical professional or anyone to know that patients' goal is always full recovery? What's worse is manual PT or massaging which was a complete joke. Therapist J barely touched my problem area. When I asked him a question, he stopped touching problem area, and beat around the bush or just acknowledged with "yes" without providing any explanation/helpful insights, then "completed" manual PT. While PT assistants C and R are quite helpful and pleasant to work with (hence adding 2 stars to the review), assistant B is ignorant and cold. Unfortunately the conversation I had with another patient confirmed my experience was not an isolated case. I'm under treatment at a different PT facility now. Manual therapy is great and people I work with do not rush me and I feel a good work out after the treatment. What a difference! read more

After a nasty fall on the ice this winter, I needed rotator cuff surgery. I had complete trust in my doctor, but felt completely as ease with going through with the surgery because I knew I would be going to Ergo Physical Therapy for my recovery. Not only is the owner (Ron Kassab) the most intelligent man I have had the pleasure of knowing, but his sincere and genuine care and concern for his patients comes through on the first meeting and every meeting thereafter. The office staff is very friendly. Whenever I call, I am always greeted with a bubbly upbeat voice. My daughter had major knee surgery and of course I took her to Ergo. We had a problem getting a referral because our pediatrician wasn't familiar with our new plan. No worries, Ergo's staff took charge and made the calls needed and my daughter is now back on the softball field :)) Another thing that impressed me about Ergo was the way they come up with fun ways for kids to do their therapy. I will never forget walking in and seeing a kid playing a wii game. After watching, I realized that this was his therapy, and I thought to myself....how clever is this guy!!! All in all I gave Ergo a 5 star rating because they deserve it. I recommend them to all my friends, family, co-workers, and even strangers! read more

Treatment I received was in a very pleasant physical and staff environment, starting right at the receptionist's office. My gratitude is owed in particular to the friendly intensive and expert care provided by Dr. David Schroeder. It resulted in satisfying improvement of my long lasting shoulder pains. Instructions he left with me for ongoing self exercises at home are an integral part for management of the condition. Moshe Schmidt MD. read more

I'm so grateful to find Ergo PT that fixed my neck and saved my from a surgery. When doctors were trying to stuff me with painkillers, David identified and successfully worked on issues with my imbalance, posture, etc. It worked wonders! Very caring, attentive, and knowledgeable stuff. Thank you David, all aides, and front desk stuff for being the best at your jobs! read more

i highly recommend Ergo and specifically, the Physical Therapist who made it possible for me to walk and climb stairs again, pain-free, Louise Escobar, DPT. I signed up on March 2nd and had pain in both knees when I walked and climbed stairs. I had little ability to balance and could barely move after years of debilitating asthma and weight gain. Now, I can climb subway stairs without any discomfort at all, I can walk effortlessly (8 miles in NYC and it seemed pretty easy) and I have my balance back and have built up my core muscles. All in a highly professional and caring environment. Ergo was recommended to me by a friend who found out about Ergo from Hospital for Special Surgery. read more

Ergo physical therapy is by far one of the most unprofessional, disorganized offices one can ever go to. The front desk is awful, all they do is joke around and not pay attention to clients. The girls gossip about patients out-loud and show absolutely no respect for the patients. I cannot believe the behavior of these employees. Ergo is Money hungry to say the least. Physical therapists are seeing over 50 patients a day, patients barely person time with the therapist. If you are looking to receive top notch treatment and enjoy your physical therapy experience, DO NOT.. and I repeat DO NOT go to this office. I swear. You'll be glad you chose elsewhere. I HATE ERGO PHYSICAL THERAPY! read more
