Sports injury holding you back from competing at your best? We provide sports physical therapy in New York, NY for athletes who want one-on-one DPT care, a clear plan, and a path back to full competition.

Sports Injuries Keep Athletes Sidelined and Stuck

Pain cuts you off from your sport

You're missing games, training blocks, and competitions. Every week on the sidelines sets you further back from your goals.

Generic PT doesn't understand athletes

Cookie-cutter exercises don't account for your sport, position, or training demands. You need a plan built around athletic performance.

You're unsure when it's safe to return

You're caught between pushing through pain and resting too long. Without clear return-to-sport criteria, you're guessing.

Jason is a brilliantly talented physical therapist whose skill and dedication allowed me to return to playing the piano after a five-year hiatus due to chronic wrist tendinitis. I’ll never be able to thank him enough for that gift. He is present, communicative, and a joy to work with.

I can't say enough good things about ReCOOPERate PT! I started seeing Sama after suffering from an Achilles injury this summer. Within a month of seeing her, she got me back to running pain free! Jason and his entire staff have helped me so much over the past few years. They are all kind, attentive, and so knowledgeable about what they do. Can't recommend enough--thank you Sama, Jason, and team!

Frequently Asked Questions

We know sports injuries are frustrating. Here's what athletes in New York ask us most.

Will I have to stop competing completely?

Not necessarily. We build your plan around what you can do safely while addressing the root injury. For many athletes, modified training is part of the recovery process. We adjust load and intensity, not shut everything down.

How long until I can return to full competition?

It depends on the injury type, severity, and how long it's been going on. After your evaluation, we'll give you a realistic return-to-sport timeline with clear milestones. We use objective testing to guide those decisions.

Can you help with in-season injuries?

Yes. We work with athletes mid-season regularly. We help you manage the injury around your competition schedule, modify training to reduce risk, and build a plan that supports performance while you recover.

What does a sports PT evaluation include?

Your first visit includes a full one-on-one evaluation with a DPT, movement screening, and a review of your sport, training schedule, and goals. We'll identify what's driving the issue and build a clear plan for your return to competition.

Do you take insurance?

We're cash-based, which means we don't bill insurance directly. We provide superbills you can submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Many athletes use HSA or FSA cards.
