If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I don't feel like my words can do justice to how I feel…read moreabout the incredible therapists and staff at this practice. This past July, I hurt myself during yoga (a result and mix of over-exercising/working out/pandemic stress) and I was referred to this practice. Before then, I had never injured myself physically and was experiencing - what I soon came to recognize - a high level of anxiety previously unknown to me. As someone who always felt extremely strong, both physically and mentally, I felt like a stranger in my own body. Dr. Niv (Zack) was my primary therapist and (while I wish I had never injured myself or had to learn what anxiety was) I consider it a major blessing that of all the PT's in the world, I somehow happened to find him. He is an expert, serious professional, and all around fantastic human being. I have never felt more safe, taken care, understood, or truly heard by a health care professional ever in my life. The care I received was always personalized and thoughtful. I always felt like he wanted to hear what was on my mind/concerns/etc. His understanding of the body and mind is incredible. My treatment always felt like an extremely educated and human approach. Something I (and everyone else) desperately needed. I could go on! While I am essentially recovered, I wish I could visit this practice every week. I cannot recommend this practice highly enough. Also noteworthy: The front desk staff are amazing - incredibly easy to make or change an appointment, assist with insurance/billing related questions or problems. The facility is clean & welcoming. I would love to share my experience further with anyone considering a visit.

I am extremely disappointed in the care I received from Integrative PT of NYC. I really wanted to…read morelike it here after reading all of the great reviews, which is why I felt obligated to write this review after having such a poor experience here. My first appointment left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth, however, I decided to give them another chance as it was only the first appointment. I was taken late and released early which I did not appreciate. I was told the original appointment would be 1 hour and it took roughly 35 minutes. I saw LilliAnn for my first appointment and scheduled weekly follow up appointments with her. I confirmed with the receptionist in the office that going forward my appointments would be with LilliAnn. When I showed up for my second appointment I was also taken ~10 minutes late by a man who I had not previously met or worked with at all. He informed me that my appointment that day would be with Mackenzie, and that she wanted me to get started with a particular exercise. Not only had I never heard of or even been introduced to Mackenzie, I also had never done the exercise he was referencing. I questioned as to whether or not he had the right person as I was there for my appointment with LilliAnn. He informed me only then that LilliAnn was "double booked" and that Mackenzie would be working with me that day. I found it very unprofessional that I was not informed of this the second I checked in, or honestly, notified before I even arrived for my appointment. This was especially troubling as I had been there one week before and scheduled the appointment with LiliAnn. The man then went to grab Mackenzie who seemed very bothered that I was confused as to what was going on and asking questions. She then proceeded to ask me multiple questions that LilliAnn had asked and I had answered at my FIRST appointment a week prior. I finally asked Mackenzie if I should expect to answer these same questions at every appointment, because LilliAnn had asked me the same questions just the week before. Mackenzie was very aggressive, dismissive, and right out pissed off by my question informing me that she had read my chart. She then abruptly went to the back without warning, only to come back a few minutes later to continue with my session. I also found it unprofessional that LilliAnn was present and never came to tell me what was going on. She popped out for a second, saw I was with Mackenzie and quickly ran back into whatever room she came from. Even excluding the aforementioned disaster, I was not impressed by the care or "physical therapy" I received whatsoever. Mackenzie proceeded to give me 2-3 exercises at once, told me to complete 2 sets of 12 of each exercise and walked away. She was also working with another patient at the same time as me and instructing her to do exercises as well. More than half the time I was completing the exercises she instructed I complete, she was not even in the room. All this is to say that I would think twice before booking an appointment with Integrative PT of NYC. It is not worth the time or the headache. Don't say I didn't warn you!

I find the workouts to be far more challenging than I would ever do on my own and also the fun factor is a huge plus! I have met many people who dealing with serious injuries at Perfect Stride but the atmosphere is so upbeat and supportive there is this sense that recovery is always in reach and being told things like " You are not your MRI" really helps. My first review was in 2016 and nine years later I still love Perfect Stride for healing and strength!

I can not say enough great things about Perfect Stride!! I've been working with Vikash for over six…read moremonths, and he is by far the best PT I have worked with in over a decade as a competitive high school + D3 college athlete turned runner into adulthood. I came in after dealing with more than half a year of chronic pain in multiple places--my knee, hamstring, and random spots--that had completely sidelined my running. I had already tried several well-known running PT clinics around the city and continued to end up with lingering pain and zero trust in my providers or recovery plan. By the time I found Vikash, I was frustrated, burned out, and extremely fearful that I'd never get back to running. From day one, Vikash was different. He was the only PT who actually listened to what I'd been experiencing. He took the time to understand the full picture and built a thoughtful, personalized plan instead of a one-size-fits-all routine. What made the biggest difference, though, was how he guided me through the recovery process with positivity. I was extremely pessimistic when I started but overtime with his thoughtful and supportive approach, I began to feel more hopeful. He helped me understand that pain isn't always a setback, taught me how to work through it safely, and reframed how I think about my body and training. Those skills have been genuinely life-changing, and I know I'll carry them with me as an athlete forever. Recovery wasn't always easy, and there some bumps throughout the process, but I really would not be where I am today without Vikash. I'm now not only out of chronic pain but actively training again. Even though I have occasional flare ups, I have so much more understanding about how to work through them and not fear injury/pain as an athlete. I'm continuing to work with Vikash on a structured running plan, building a strong running base for next year's races, and I feel stronger, more confident, and more mentally prepared than I have in a very long time. If you're a runner--or honestly any athlete--who feels stuck, discouraged, or unheard dealing with lingering pain, I highly recommend Perfect Stride!

Brian is a miracle worker. I had a major TMJ surgery a few years ago and had recently been…read moreexperiencing relapsing. I met Brian, through a colleague, and can honestly say that his methods have been much more effective than anything my surgeon and orthodontist have tried to plan.

He makes sure to give the most thorough explanation of exercises and treatments you have to do at home and is happy to explain the detailed anatomy and physiology behind each thing you are working on. And it's not just him! The entire staff is extremely knowledgeable and kind. I also had an FMS test done by another staff member and he was very reassuring and made sure that I felt comfortable in performing the various parts of the test. The owner is also extremely friendly as are other staff members. The entire team is great. The place has a welcoming atmosphere thar encourages health and healing. They make it fun.

I was a counter strain patient of Stan Kupchenko's for a little over 6 months. He was great at that…read moremodality, and was professional and appeared empathetic during sessions. The staff were always polite and friendly, and the facilities well-maintained. I also needed to have my insurance cover my medically necessary treatment, which would require prior authorization paperwork. Stan and administrative (and supervisory; Dina Badami) staff verbally agreed to file that paperwork. The first email I sent them about it was in February 2024, to which they did not write back. By June, no paperwork had been started. As I was due to begin another health treatment (at about the same price per session: $235) in July and it was no longer financially feasible to continue even borrowing money from family, it became more urgent to address; I spoke with them about this insurance matter again, specifying the timeline necessary in order to ensure uninterrupted treatment. They all agreed again. June came and went with my following up with Stan at every appointment, and receiving verbal assurances with no paperwork. Repeated follow ups via email produced a draft of the letter of medical necessity written by Stan by 07/10/2024. Unfortunately it omitted a lot of information required by insurance for prior authorization approval, such as the number and frequency of sessions being requested and the criteria for evaluating my recovery. As my treatment had already been interrupted due to these paperwork delays, I created a document revising the letter of medical necessity so it included all the mandatory information and evidence to support the need for this treatment, and shared it with Physiofitness. I explained the changes, and requested that they update it with the numbers (so all they'd need to do it read it, and if there were no problems, just change the X sessions over Y weeks) so we can get this submitted. They wrote back, confirmed successful receipt, and agreed to read and update it. I followed up again the next week to find out the status of this request. Stan replied on 07/18/2024 "No edits have been made. Will let you know as edits are made. Thanks." which was the last time I heard from anyone at Physiofitness. I followed up twice after; once on 07/26/2024 (in addition to this letter I asked about the impact of insurance changes), and then again on 08/02/2024, this time asking if I am to understand I am no longer a patient of theirs. Given that it is now halfway through September 2024, and Physiofitness has declined to engage in any communication for 8 consecutive weeks, following poor communication/follow through for about 6 months, I am extremely disappointed that I am unable to access appropriate treatment from this physical therapy facility due to utilizing health insurance. TL;DR: Stan was skilled at physical therapy modalities such as fascial counter strain, but ultimately his expertise was irrelevant; as a patient who needed to use health insurance, Physiofitness was not interested facilitating insurance approvals to allow me to access appropriate care, and instead chose to misrepresent what services (such as administrative insurance-related tasks) they provide before eventually ghosting me.

Easily one of the kindest, most knowledgeable, professional, patient, caring, and dialed-in physical therapists I have ever encountered. My recovery with, and because of Rich, has been seamless. Rich always was prepared for our sessions together with a variety of exercises to aide in my recovery. He always took the time to fully explain everything- be it the exercise, the way it impacts my recovery, my healing, how to best replicate the work at home, etc. Rich always kept me fully informed and I truly cannot say enough good things about him! He's as top notch as they come and I'm so grateful for his care. He also was my biggest cheerleader and that really just says so much about who he is as a person. He truly cares. And the same goes for every single person I encountered at Spear FiDi. Everyone was always, always, always incredible. That's just the vibe there. Good people who are there to help you on your road to recovery. While I hope I never need them again, I am so comforted to know that such great people are available in times of need. Big thanks to Rich, Eric, and everyone there at Spear FiDi. This crew, and location (which was always pristinely clean and safe) has my HIGHEST recommendation.

As a full time dentist, my body takes a real beating, especially my lower back, so finding the right physical therapist was extremely important to me. I came in dealing with ongoing back pain and was starting to think more seriously about whether surgery might eventually be necessary. Since working with Conner, that trajectory has shifted in a very meaningful way. I'm not claiming magic, but so far I've been able to avoid surgery, and that is a huge win. What I really appreciate is that this is not the typical fluffy PT experience with endless generic stretches and exercises that don't feel connected to real strength or function. Conner takes a much more thoughtful approach. We do careful progressive overload with real attention to form, limitations, and precautions for my back. So I'm not just getting physical therapy. I'm also able to keep up with my training and strength work at the same time. That combination has been incredibly valuable for me. Conner is also just a pleasure to work with. He is easy to talk to, a great conversationalist, and he makes the sessions feel fun, challenging, and encouraging without ever losing sight of safety. He knows how to push appropriately while still being careful. The new facility is another big plus. It feels modern, professional, and well set up for both rehab and training, which fits this style of treatment perfectly. It does not feel like a stale or overly clinical PT office. The early morning hours work really well for my schedule, and the location is very convenient and easy to access by the L train. Being so central in Manhattan makes it easy to get to. Overall, it feels like a win win. I'm addressing my back pain seriously while also continuing to build strength instead of putting my whole physical life on pause. Highly recommend Conner and PhysioRX.
