What West Village Patients Are Saying

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

Working with Cristina has been an amazing experience. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, but she always listens to what I have to say and takes it into account, which isn’t always the case with other PTs. Working with someone one on one for an entire hour also makes a huge difference, and I’ve already seen major improvement within just a few months.

Jason Cooper is a care specialist unlike any I've ever had the privilege of knowing. I've been through two surgeries with Jason, and each time he ensured I was back on my feet in healthy and working order.

Jason is the best in the business, plain and simple. You wont find someone more knowledgeable, kind, professional, and truly talented at what he does. I initially went to him for help treating my torn hip labrum, as I spent 3 months at Spear PT with no signs of improvement. As a marathoner, my goal was to get back to running as soon as possible and be able to start training for the 2023 NYCM. Within a month, Jason helped get me back on my feet and start running again. Aside from my labrum, I dealt with various injuries this training cycle, a strained soleus, a tight IT band causing outer knee pain, all of which Jason helped me treat. Thanks to Jason I was able to run the NYC Marathon this year and PR, running a 3:07 marathon, cutting 8 minutes off my time from the previous year. I truly trust Jason with my life. Not only will he help you with your injuries, but his methods will help bring you back to what you love doing better than ever! THANK YOU JASON!!!

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.
