Chelsea Athletes Trust Us

Proven results from people who train as hard as you do.

Both my wife and I have received physical therapy for sports-related injuries, and I was more of a frequent flyer having right shoulder issues and left hip issues. As a physician, I was impressed by his knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics. As a healer, he was amazing. Great demeanor, empathy, kindness and caring. Although I am currently living in Toronto, if I need physical therarpy, I will continue to see him and fly down to NYC. He is that good.

Jason is a singularly exceptional physical therapist. He is an active listener, taking in 100% of the individual's injury and recovery experience while also learning his client's essential character. He pairs all that textured information with what the aggregate, peer-reviewed science guides -- and, voila, the healing truly begins. Jason is dedicated, curious, compassionate, patient and real. I am stronger after my two years in Jason's care than I have ever been -- on multiple fronts. I am beyond grateful for the outcomes I achieved.

Jason Cooper is simply the best physical therapist I’ve ever worked with. He’s helped me through three different injuries over the last seven years. In all of them, he was incredibly thoughtful, knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. Jason also made himself available for communicating between appointments to ensure I was carrying through with our exercise plan safely and effectively. He’s made it possible for me to get back to the exercises I love and for that, I’m forever grateful.

Frequently Asked Questions

What you need to know before scheduling your first visit near Chelsea.

Do I need a referral to start PT in New York?

No. New York state allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can schedule a phone consult and book your first appointment without a physician referral. If your insurance plan requires a referral for out-of-network reimbursement, we'll help you handle that after your evaluation.

What does a typical session look like, and how often do I need to come?

You'll spend 45 to 60 minutes working one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy every visit. Most people begin with one or two sessions per week, then reduce frequency as they improve. We design your schedule around your training and life, not arbitrary guidelines.

Can I keep training while I'm working with you?

Usually, yes. We believe smart training is part of recovery for most injuries. We'll adjust volume, intensity, or exercises as needed, but our goal is to keep you active and progressing toward your goals while you heal.

Why does this cost more than other PT clinics near Chelsea?

We're cash-based by choice so we can spend a full session with you, use advanced testing tools like VALD Dynamo and force plates, and build plans around your life and sport, not insurance limitations. You're investing in expertise, time, and outcomes that stick.

What should I wear to my first appointment?

Dress like you're going to the gym. Athletic shorts or leggings and a t-shirt are best. Runners should bring their current training shoes, and lifters should be ready to demonstrate key movements so we can assess your form and mechanics.
