Physical Therapy in the Neighborhood

I don't know if it's a convenient neighborhood for you, but I love Sam and Nick at Rebound PT on Quentin Rd in Marine Park (with a second location on Avenue P near Kings Highway). I went there for months and found them and their staff to be attentive and thorough, and caring. They never overbooked so there was never a wait. Parking isn't bad around there either.

I went to Park Sports on Garfield for a couple of weeks and thought they were very good. The head people are affiliated with the Hospital for Special Surgery. The person I worked with was very attentive and seemed to know what she was doing. They helped my shoulder quite a bit.

@GoodProspect - agreed that sometimes one-on-one can feel like an assembly line, but that's the nature of learning your routine and doing it fairly independently 2-3 times a week. they watch you, tho, and interject / add elements where necessary.

when it comes to the stretching / massage / ultrasound / etc tho you can request that only the head therapist work on you - the assistants are there to learn, but everyone is given the opp to say they only want the head PT. i usually only have jesse (the head PT) work on my knee / leg and he's great.

just thought of one illustration:

at One on One they are fond of using ultrasound and TENS to reduce inflammation....it feels good, no doubt about it. Does it really work? I'm not so sure. I had major inflammation issues and at OIOC they never used the ultrasound or TENS, though I saw that they had both units. They focused on getting my weak areas stronger, occasionally adding ice at the end of a workout. I found this approach far more effective and labor intensive for the therapist (which may seem counterintuitive, but it's true). The ultrasound and TENS seem, in retrospect, like add-ons which may have some clinical effectiveness but definitely are effective when it comes to what the establishment can bill insurance for.
