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

I started seeing Jason immediately after I had my first child. I was suffering incredible back pain (si joint) as a result of pregnancy, combined with a challenging and painful labor and delivery; I couldn't even walk! I was convinced that I wouldn't heal. After seeing Jason for 4 weeks I was completely back to normal, I truly couldn't believe how good I felt. I have continued to see Jason for maintenance with my back and to treat a variety of other problem areas, and he always gets by body back to baseline and feeling better again. He's incredible!

I have been to reCOOPERate for Achilles pain and pelvic floor therapy, working with the whole team. Drs. Jason, Sama, and Shreyal provided so much 1-1 attention for my Achilles and really helped me come back to running without pain. The pelvic floor therapy sessions with Sama were positive and helpful and I learned so much that I can use moving forward.

Highly recommend Dr. Cooper! I've had a few nagging issues that have impacted my running for years, that didn't quite qualify as "injuries" but felt worth getting checked out. Dr. Cooper was so helpful in pinpointing where I had weaknesses that I needed to work on, and has a great approach of treating and strengthening before things become full-on injuries. Plus he's just very kind and great to work with :)

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.
