What West Village Patients Are Saying

Real results from runners and active adults who got back to training with confidence.

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.

I started PT with Jason for my shin splints that I tend to get within 0.5 of a mile and he’s been very helpful overall. My appointments with Jason are comfortable and social, he’s also very knowledgeable and great at explaining things to me.

Cristina helped me overcome a knee injury that forced me to miss my goal race last year. In just a couple of months I feel like I’m back in ultra-distance fighting shape! I can’t recommend their practice enough. Cristina actually listens and cares about getting her patients back to doing what they love! Both her and Jason are very informative and check in on your progress often! Sessions can include movement assessments, body work— stretching, mobility, ART, cupping, along with strength/stability movements AND you get sent home with exercises to do in between sessions. 10/10 go see them!

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about starting physical therapy in West Village.

Can I start PT without a doctor's referral in New York?

Yes. New York allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can schedule a phone consult or book your first appointment without seeing a doctor first. If your insurance requires a referral for out-of-network reimbursement, we can help coordinate that after your evaluation.

How long are sessions, and how often will I need to come in?

Sessions are typically 45 to 60 minutes and we have a 2, 3, or 5 month plan depending on your needs. Most people start with one to two visits per week, then adjust based on progress and goals. We build your schedule around your training and life, not rigid protocols.

Will I have to stop running or training while I'm in PT?

Not usually. We build your plan around what you can do safely while we work on the root issue. For most people, smart training is part of the recovery process. If you're mid-marathon plan or training for an event, we'll help you modify your program.

Why is this more expensive than other PT clinics in NYC?

We're cash-based by choice so we can give you one-on-one time with a DPT for the full session, use advanced testing tools, and build a plan around your sport and goals—not insurance codes. You're paying for expertise, attention, and data-informed care that gets results.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Wear athletic clothes you can move in shorts or leggings and a t-shirt work great. If you're a runner, bring your current training shoes. If you're working on a lifting or strength issue, be ready to demonstrate movements so we can assess your mechanics.
