Pivotal began in 1989 (originally Eveline Erni Physical Therapy) as a single practitioner Orthopedic physical therapy practice. She literally treated her first patients either in her own apartment or the patient's apartment. Her initial patients primarily consisted of Swiss ex-patriots who lived in New York City.
When you visit our Manhattan Physical Therapy practice, our highly qualified therapists can guarantee we will focus on serving your specific health needs. Our goal is to get you back to a pain-free life. Ms. Erni received her physical therapy degree in 1984 from The University Hospital in Zurich, Switzerland.
At Pivotal Physical Therapy, we focus on healing the entire body - not just the area of pain. In most cases, where you experience pain isn't the only area that needs attention. If our focus is only on that area, we find that your pain-relief is short-lived. This is why we take a holistic, comprehensive approach to physical therapy.

It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Pivotal Physical Therapy.
I was literally at my wits end with jaw pain when I first walked into Pivotal. The pain was not limited to my jaw; it also radiated up into my ear and my head. It was excruciating.
The quality of care and expertise offered by my therapist Eveline Erni was exceptional. With time and treatment, I improved dramatically. I no longer suffer daily discomfort. Also, I have regained range of motion and can comfortably chew food once again.
I want to add that Eveline provides a very holistic approach. Physical injury takes its toll

Life savers!! I mean this in the literal sense. Pivotal Therapy is terrific. I'm so lucky I got a recommendation from my ENT to see Eveline and her staff for my severe TMJ condition -- being in extreme pain. She's been treating me personally since May and I've made tremendous progress. She's attentive, caring and an expert on this condition and the treatment. She's also helped connect me to better doctors and treatment outside of PT (and she's working with those doctors too). She's become a part of my life in this journey and I miss going to my appointments if I can't make it. I absolutely highly

This place is a joke. The therapy sessions might be decent, but when it comes to getting reimbursed for overpayment, you will never get your money back. I had to call the billing department a dozen times over the course of 8 months and I'm still waiting. I would definitely find a different provider. They're just after your money.

I can't say enough great things about Pivotal PT. In the beginning of my treatment, I was a frequent client, and everyone at the office was always welcoming and very professional. I was always seen on-time and they were very flexible with my pay schedule which I greatly appreciated. My PT, Nicole, came highly recommended to me from my doctor and I agree with her whole heartedly. I worked with Nicole for about 10 months and I'm a new person because of it. While remaining optimistic, Nicole taught me ways to help speed up my recovery with at-home exercises and frequent, honest updates on my prognosis

Excellent physical therapists with a lot of experience and sensitivity to individual needs. I have used Pivotal on three different occasions with various injuries, and, in each case, the therapy was key to my recovery. Other therapists I have tried did not provide the kind of private experienced care needed to recover from serious injury. Recommended without reservation.

Pivotal PT is great !!! I have been to many PT places before. None can compare to Pivotal. The care, attention and professionalism I found at Pivotal PT, is second to none. I have worked with Nicole off and on for almost a year. Her knowledge and the individual attention that she has given me is truly amazing. Each session is a unique experience, which is modified based on my condition for that day. I cannot say enough positive things about Nicole and Pivotal PT. If u have a PT need this is the place !
