Your goals and our goals are naturally aligned!
Our goal is to help you develop a stronger, healthier, injury-free, pain-free, and balanced you! Your goals are more specific and individualized but align with the physical therapists at Hand + Physical Therapy NYC. Perhaps your desire is to return to sport, running, cycling, or maybe to engage with the exercise equipment at the gym — awesome! Or maybe your goal is to simply take a walk around the block or go grocery shopping without any restrictions — we’re your rehabilitation partner. Whatever your personal goals, our experienced clinical team will work with you to achieve them while always demonstrating ways to properly prevent any future injuries.
As physical therapists, we understand optimal movement patterns. We utilize one-on-one functional analysis to help identify the root cause of abnormal joint loads, inadequate muscle strength, and overused tendons resulting in faulty movement, mobility, or injury. These impediments often add undue stress to the body, causing pain and poor joint alignment.
Trust the team of physical therapists at Hand + Physical Therapy NYC to help restore and realign your body. We will teach you how to support your body with healthy movement patterns, and bring use and functionality back to your injured joint, limb, or body part. We’ll show you how to live life pain-free and get back to the activities you enjoy.
