Everyone needs strength training in their life, particularly people like me. I've been active pretty much my whole life, but shied away from consistent weight training because I was never sure I was doing it right, and sustained an injury during the pandemic trying to do it on my own. I came to PhysioRX intent on getting fit and learning how to strength train the right way. PhysioRX did not disappoint. The therapists are extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and helpful in getting you to your goals. So whether you're a skilled athlete or a total novice, you're sure to reach your goals through personalized workouts and their expert guidance. read more

PhysioRX - Physical Therapy Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I never write reviews anymore but felt it was worth it this time. I had a nagging leg injury from a hike that wouldn't go away on its own, so I decided it was time for me to finally get professional help. I could have gone with a traditional, if not, old school physical therapist, but decided to give PhysioRX a try. I was nervous about going here though, as I'm not a super athlete or major weight lifter but figured if they had such great reviews, that I should give them a shot. I'm so glad I did! I had my phone consultation, then an in person one. I mainly worked with Connor who was an absolute joy to work with. While the approach wasn't what I expected, I am just as happy as every other reviewer. Once I did the phone and in person consult, I was equipped with an app where they assign all the exercises specifically for you. It was so easy to use. The exercises were personalized for me, and when I found ones I didn't like, they'd swap them for something else. I basically texted Connor and Will 4-5 times a week on my progress. Will, who was my secondary coach and available just as much as Connor was, and he was also awesome. Even if I didn't give them an update on how my workout went, they'd often check on me anyway. I had some weeks where I really didn't want to go to the gym, or felt very discouraged. They were there every step of the way. We even did some check in calls which I appreciated so much. I only intended on working with them for 1 month, but every time the month was finishing, I felt I had a lot of progress and continued my journey to 3 months. To be honest, I'm soooo sad to finish my 3 month stint because both of them were so great to work with, and I've seen major improvement in my leg. As someone who doesn't see themselves as an athlete by any means, their coaching really helped me get to a good place. I also realized that I was going to the gym all wrong for years. I learned so much from this experience, and kind of see my injury as a blessing in disguise as I now view rehab, exercise, and the gym in a completely different way. Thanks to Connor and Will for doing such impactful work. If I ever get injured again (although I hope not), I'll gladly reach out to PhysioRX. If you are on the fence, just book some time with them. You won't regret it! read more

PhysioRx is redefining physical therapy! After a recent flare-up of a lower back injury, I was reluctant to waste time with insurance-grade physical therapy because of previous disappointments. Enter PhysioRx. Their free consultation was impressively thorough, and the first hour-long trial session was entirely customized to my needs. Convinced this wasn't the old-school go-through-the-motions physical therapy, I signed up for a 12-week program with Georgio. Our program had clear objectives: to enhance my overall strength to support my back and improve my flexibility. Georgio personalized our hour-long sessions each week, adjusting to my abilities and strength levels. He also selected exercises through the PRX app that complemented these sessions for additional workouts at the gym or when I was away from home. No two sessions were the same, Georgio and staff were highly motivating, and time flew by. Now, I'm pain-free, lifting weights I wouldn't have imagined when I started, and as flexible as in my college days. Plus, as an added bonus, I've shed 12 pounds during the program. There's absolutely no way traditional physical therapy could have achieved these results. This success is thanks to Georgio and the exceptional PhysioRx team! read more

Was referred to PhysioRx by a former coach. I had been experiencing knee pain for a few months since marathon training, and wanted to get my knee in working health, as the weather warmed up. Met with Conor, and he gave me a great assessment and put me on a well-thought-out workout program. Although had some ups and down during the training, Conor was patient, kept me on track, and ultimately did what was best for me. My knee is in great shape now, and I'm grateful I can get back out there and be active. read more

As a long time powerlifter whom has seen a few PTs before, I am skeptical on general PTs or pain management specialists because I've had pretty crappy experiences with general PTs. They are not always well versed in powerlifting injuries and often prescribe heat treatment or the general "stop doing that exercise." You won't get that cookie cutter experience here at PhysioRX. Their goal is to have you back to lifting at 100% rather than getting you to stop doing that exercise. I'm proud to say that PhysioRX worked wonders for me. I came in with a squatting injury in my lower back and saw Georgio Baylouni, a doctor of physical therapy. We first talked about what I was doing before, my progression, my workout routine, and the possible events that could have caused the injury. He spent the the hour diagnosing my injury with tests on my range of motion and went on with finding exercises that wouldn't aggravate the injured area. There was no 30 minutes of electro or heat therapy filler that I always get at other PTs. I left with a very reassured and excited to get back to my old workout program. After the initial session, I subscribed to PhysioRX's remote rehabilitation service. This is a service that allows the PT to give you a rehab plan through an app. Within that app, I am given a set routine every week for a month to rehab. I am able to communicate with my PT, Georgio, via the app on my progress. He also frequently checks up on me to make sure I have no trouble with the exercises. Best of all, Georgio is incredibly knowledgeable on the injuries of powerlifting and within a month, I am pain free. In conclusion, I was incredibly satisfied with the service and treatment that I got. If you are a powerlifter that received an injury, I would not hesitate to make an appointment to see Georgio. He is the man. read more

I was recommended to PhysioRX by a friend and I couldn't be happier that I was. I am a runner and was training for an upcoming marathon and had injured my thigh during training. During my first appointment I met with Will and he was very helpful and knowledgeable. We did a thorough interview and examination to try and pinpoint what was causing me the pain. We then went over a few strengthen exercises and talked about how we could best address my pain. The best part of this process was the PhysioRX app. Will was able to formulate a recovery/workout plan for me through that app that I could easily track my progress on while having weekly check ins and a conversation through direct messages. Which was also great for me because I moved out of New York during this process and we were still able to work together. After the program I am feeling stronger than I ever have and I am back to running everyday pain free! Couldn't recommend Will and PhysioRX enough! Thank you! read more

I made an appointment with Georgio because I needed help dealing with my tendonitis. The pain wasn't severe but it was preventing me from my running, which was my primary form of exercise. Georgio suggested I try out the small group fitness classes, which would take a more holistic approach to dealing with my tendonitis. I was apprehensive because of the financial and time commitment but I decided to go for it. I was eager to break my pattern of doing high impact cardio and injuring myself every couple of months or doing intense workout classes that made me so sore I would never come back. But the small group classes are totally my jam and I'm already on my second series. It's just four people and somebody is always there to work with me and answer my questions, which I have a lot of because I'm a complete dummy when it comes to going to the gym (for example: I thought that doing a completely different set of workouts each time I went was what we're supposed to do.. and it is not). Each session has workouts that are tailored to fit my goals and keep up forward momentum at the right pace. Before PhysioRx, I used to constantly check the clock looking for when I could finally leave the gym or studio but I don't do that here because Georgio and Will have created a realistic workout plan for me that is both challenging but not intimidating. Everyone attending the classes are also so nice and because the class is so small you will end up getting to know some of people you work out with. So if you are like me, someone who doesn't know how to exercise, who has ghosted on several trendy fitness studios in Brooklyn, but wants to develop a better relationship to fitness and movement.... give PhysioRx a shot. read more

PhysioRX is the real deal. I came to their team in December with knee pain that was keeping me from running. I've been to a bunch of PTs before to try and solve running injury flair ups in my left knee with few results. The team at PhysioRX doesn't go the easy route and they deliver hard workouts to you that will get you healthy the right way. They diagnosed what the problem was in one in person meeting, then they planned out my workouts on a weekly basis that I got to view via their app, and any questions I had would be answered quickly via the message function in app. The strength training was tough but really worked wonders, it was a true no short cuts approach that I already feel the effects of just three months later. By February, I was back to running race pace and was lifting more per strength exercise than I thought I could. I cannot recommend PhysioRX enough if you need to get back to full strength and need to do so with a packed schedule. This is PT programmed specifically for you, with workouts you can do in the gym, at home, or on the road. You get what you put into their workouts, and they will challenge you in the best ways to make your recovery lightning fast and bullet proof. read more

Stumbled upon these guys whilst trying to find physical therapy with my sub-par insurance. They don't accept insurance, because they're cool like that. Instead, they offer fair pricing for a much more holistic approach to recovery. I went to them with help on a torn hip after I was diagnosed with the muscle tear, labral tear, and a cam deformity. Doctors were spewing all sorts of stuff about surgery and not being able to do the things I love most. These guys did a full physical assessment in person, and were able to then create a custom training program that not only helped me prepare for the season (motocross racing), but also showed me safe ranges of movement with my hip deformity, and helped improve pain I was having elsewhere from several other prior injuries. Went from a torn hip I was told shouldn't be used for heavy exercise and needed surgery to squatting 245, no surgery, and feeling stronger than I've felt in my life. They have several options to make it affordable for us less financially fortunate new yorkers, and are able to work with you remote via their app, avoiding the hassle of scheduling PT during work hours several times a week. After 10 weeks they have me feeling strong, healthy, confident and trusting of the abilities of my previously injured areas, and on top of it all taught me how to create my own programs for the future. Definitely check these guys out if you're over having to do endless repetitions of silly exercises with weird gadgets and paying unnecessary amounts for it, and want someone to help you recover in ways that meet your own athletic or lifestyle goals. read more

Suffered a torn achilles and was recommended to PhysioRx by my doctor and a co-worker. I have been using the PhysioRx program for the last 4 months and have seen significant progress on my injury as well as the surrounding areas of my lower body. I have worked weekly with both Georgio and Zach. Unlike other physical training programs I have been to for past injuries, these guys spend an entire hour 1 on 1 with me to focus not only on my trouble area but also on a program to strengthen my entire lower body, balance, and mindset. I am fully confident that within the next few months I will not only be completely recovered from my injury, but i will be stronger than prior to my injury. These guys are the real deal from their deep technical knowledge to their flexibility in dealing with clients. I highly recommend both Georgio and Zach. read more

I had been out of commission for a couple months with hip pain, which as a regular runner had a toll on both my physical and mental health. Over the course of a 12-week program working with Will, my results were better than expected. Not only was I back to running my typical distances, but by the end of my 12 weeks, I was in better shape than I'd been since the pandemic threw off my fitness routine. The virtual training experience was key to keeping me accountable, while also providing maximum adaptability amidst a heavy holiday travel season. I highly recommend PhysioRX and Will! read more

Zach is my main "go to" therapist since I started there 2 months ago on the UES. My progress is going very well. I'm thrilled with his demeanor and the approach he uses towards healing me the right way! The best benefit is that it's always one on one for the full hour with no interruptions! read more

Hurt my back at the gym on Friday, woke up on Saturday not able to walk. Saw the good yelp reviews for Georgio at PhysioRX, and was able to get in a few hours later (on a Saturday morning during the holiday season, no less). Georgio had excellent bedside manner, explained what he thought was going on, listened to every concern I had, and outlined his plan for me to get back to feeling well. By far the best PT experience I have ever had- it took a quarter of the amount of sessions to get feeling normal than any other PT I have visited. (I could barely walk when I came in that first day, and was able to walk normally out of there). If I ever have any PT needs in the future, I'll call Georgio straight away- you should too! read more

I'm so thankful I found georgio for PT. He was highly recommended by a coworker. I had lower back pain from sitting in an awkward position at work. Georgio helped me change the habits of sitting and he also gave me stretches to do throughout the day so my condition doesnt get worse. I feel with every session I'm getting stronger and on my way to recovery. Georgio makes the sessions fun and challenging. I really like the one on one attention he gives his clients. I highly recommend him to friends and family. He even helped fix my brother's back pain. He went from standing in a crooked posture to standing straight. Thanks georgio!!! read more

After years of ignoring and pushing through pain and shoulder stability issues, I finally did myself in and got to the point where my shoulder basically stopped function. I couldn't reach for anything overhead, I had difficulty getting shirts and undergarments on and off, and I couldn't throw a football or shoot a basketball anymore (which is a pretty big issue when you are the mom of two active boys!). Beyond the day to day life function concerns, my workouts were suffering as well. There was just so much I could no longer do - nothing weight bearing at all. During my initial consult with Georgio, he asked "What would a successful physical therapy outcome be for you?". I laughed and said, "This might sound sadistic, but I want to be able to do burpees again." I'm happy to say that after 12 weeks of once-weekly therapy with Georgio, I am back to doing burpees and they are better than ever! (My ability to get day to day life function back came much more quickly, within 4-6 weeks.) Georgio worked with me holistically to not only address my shoulder injury, but also to address some of my other form and strength deficiencies in other areas that likely contributed in part to my shoulder injury. Not only is my shoulder nearly back to 100%, the rest of me feels stronger and more confident in my workouts as well. I'm grateful to have found Georgio and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as a physical therapist. read more

I started going to PhysioRx for treatment of my long term lower back pain that had recently started to worsen with my activity and work. From my initial evaluation with Zach until my very last session, I always felt comfortable, supported, and that my personal goals were of the utmost importance. Zach was always considerate of my personal schedule and maximized our time together, as well as gave me a basic at home regimen that I could do when I wasn't able to come in for session. I really appreciate that PhysioRx's mission is to provide quality, one-on-one care that was always based on best practice during each session and they live up to it; no questions asked. Whenever I had to re-schedule appointments or ask questions about my co-pays or payments, Darien was always pleasant, professional and accommodating. I would (and already have) highly recommend PhysioRx for any PT needs and if a need arises again, I wouldn't hesitate to return. read more

Great PT to rehab your injuries & allow you to continue to do the activity you want. App allows for continued communication throughout the process and virtual support is great! Highly reccomend! read more

I worked with Zach when I pulled my hamstring last year and was really struggling to get back to exercise. I hated feeling like I couldn't work out but he assured me I could. I love that PhysioRX focuses on how much you CAN do and works accordingly. I would have some good and some bad days but I always felt like I was making progress. Zach also gave me extremely clear directions and explanations for things I could work on at home, with accompanying videos. He empowered me to continue on my own with further instructions on how to interpret when I could push further and when I should be stopping so I wouldn't hinder my progress. His professionalism, empathy, and skill were one in a million in a world that is missing so much of that. Overall, it was very easy to schedule appointments and I felt that all of my needs were met. I am officially back in the game and am forever grateful to them. If I ever have any rehab needs again, I will definitely be returning there! read more

I sustained a herniated disc injury about 6 years ago. At the time, I was able to avoid surgery through Epidural Steroid Injections and extensive physical therapy. As anyone with a back injury knows, this becomes somethIng you have to live with and manage on an on going basis. A couple months back I re-aggravated the injury (largely due to a prolonged period of long work hours and physical inactivity). My doctor gave me oral steroids and told me to start Physical Therapy. I was referred to Georgio by a coworker who had been a patient of his and was super emphatic about how great he was and how positive her experience was with him. His location was close to my office by Madison Square Park so I decided to give it a shot. Best decision I have made in awhile! The difference between my previous Physical Therapy experience and my sessions with Georgio have been NIGHT AND DAY. My previous experience was largely limited to generic floor mat type stretches. I could tell right away Georgio had a much more proactive, personalized, and engaged approach. He pretty quickly had me doing a wide range of exercises that were much more complex (and more effective) than in my previous experience. It wasn't long before Georgio had me doing work with kettlebells and doing deadlifts (something I would have never imagined!). To put that in perspective - I couldn't walk unassisted when I first re-aggravated my injury. Georgio has given me my life back. Add onto all of that that he is super positive, professional, easy to talk to, very responsive in communications, and takes the time to explain the process / injury / how your body works. I am grateful for finding Georgio and highly recommend his services. read more

PhysioRX is not your typical PT organization. You will not be in a room with a ton of other patients all doing the same exercises for similar ailments with zero supervision. What you will have is a one on one experience tailored to your needs and goals. I have had 4 knee reconstructions and found PhysioRX (specifically, Georgio) when I was having pain in the "good knee". I learned of his work through my Crossfit gym and all the work he does with the athletes and trainers there. At our first meeting I knew this was the real deal. I had finally met someone who listened to not just what ailed me but someone who asked about my goals and expectations for when my knee was better. I didn't do 20 clamshell exercises while he met with another patient only to have him come back and ask me to do 20 leg lifts while he met with yet a 3rd patient. My sessions with Georgio are very much like having my own personal trainer working to not just alleviate pain but to find the root of that pain and treat the mechanics causing it. I am blown away by the consistent work and follow up they've provided and highly recommend PhysioRX ...even if your goals are to get back to the activities that brought you to PT in the first place ;) In a nutshell, they Rock! read more

I came to see Georgio at PhysioRX for my shoulder. It had been hurting me on and off for a couple of years, but after a certain point the pain progressed to where it was really impacting my quality of life. I'm an active person and I really couldn't work out my arms any more, in fact I couldn't put any stress on that arm whatsoever and I couldn't even pick up my daughter without pain. Working with Georgio totally changed that. He was able to diagnose the issue right away and get me started on a plan to get it better. It was feeling better within a few sessions and back to 100% in a few weeks. I was honestly shocked - my weird mysterious shoulder pain that I'd been living with for years was actually gone. So, if you are looking for a PT who is genuine and experienced - and who gets results fast - PhysioRX is the place! read more
