Our goal at Central Park Physical Therapy is not only to quickly facilitate your rehabilitation but also to teach you the things you can do on your own to promote long-lasting, permanent relief. We utilize a non-traditional multidisciplinary approach without protocols to reach your goals. Each session you can expect to feel lighter, taller, looser, more mobile, and have less pain than when you walked in!
If you're experiencing pain or discomfort that's making it difficult to concentrate or do daily tasks, make an appointment and we will evaluate you, localize your problem, and design a customized plan for you to relieve your pain and discomfort! Chronic pain or recurring injuries are often caused or aggravated by bad habits in our posture, gait, the way we work or play sports, and everyday routines.

Rik and the team here are amazing! Can't speak highly enough about them. Rik was brilliant at treating my back pain and helping me realize how stress in my life was translating into muscle tension and lower back issues. He and the staff really care about patients as individuals and want to help in a holistic manner.
Your neck is an essential part of everyday movement, and severe pain can prevent you from functioning normally. Neck pain can be debilitating and extremely uncomfortable, especially if it extends from your neck to your shoulders. These days neck pain commonly stems from using a smart phone or a computer all day, this adds a lot of extra strain to your neck.
I've been coming to Central Park Physical therapy for almost 3 months now and I can't recommend them enough! I had intense shoulder pain that no one could figure out and I had been to about 5 other physical therapists and no one could help me. One of them even made it worse. We use our shoulders for almost every movement we make, so it's a big deal if they bother us!
Foot and ankle pain can be caused by a variety of factors, but there is some good news! Central Park Physical Therapy can assist you in locating the source of your pain and getting you back on your feet as soon as possible. When you have pain in your feet or ankles, it can be nerve-racking to take the stairs, walk down the street, or even drive your car.

I have some serious rotator cuff damage in both shoulders which seriously affected my everyday life. Central Park Physical Therapy has work very hard and successfully with me so I can now do what I want to do comfortably.
I would recommend them to anyone who needs physical therapy from a highly knowledgeable, committed, and supportive team.

I had huge pain and not working left hand after the surgery of rotator calf tear. Thus I needed the best PT . I attended before PT facilities in Cornell Presbyterian hospital and HSS and I knew that they could not devote all the time and attention on my personal problem, as they have several people at the same time. But I needed personal attitude and very gentle and professional help. So I was looking for it, and my friend, who had the same problem , recommended me Central Park PT. I am extremely satisfied with their fantastic work , I am back to life . Thank you a lot. So since that time I use

Was in unbelievable pain . Saw several other physical therapists with no relief in sight. Was referred to Central Park Physical Therapy and much to my amazement found relief after the first visit . Obviously I continued with my therapy until the pain was gone , not reduced but gone .Rick , Dean and the entire staff are welcoming and professional. I highly recommend Central Park PhysicalTherapy!!!!

A year ago before the covid pandemic I was a patient with Central Park Physical Therapy. During the pandemic I stayed in Georgia. I had injury and my knees were not feeling well. I waited to be back to New York and have physical therapy done with them because I had an excellent treatment experience during the time I had it done here. Dean was really excellent in addressing my concerns. He was pleasant, caring and very professional in approaching my medical needs. I highly recommend this clinic when you have physical therapy issues.

Central Park Physical Therapy ranks among a handful of extraordinary physical therapy practices in NYC. I know of none that exceed the knowledge, ability and overall pleasantness in evidence here. I recommend them highly for post-surgical treatment and rehabilitation after orthopedic injuries. For those about to undertake seasonal sports in particular, a session or two on the finer points of stretching can prevent later injuries.

Going to a professional makes all the difference, the team knows how to listen to a person's ailments and solve the issue using eastern and western methods to cure nagging issues quickly. I really look forward to my sessions as I know they will help me with a long term perspective vs treating a symptom

The whole team at CP PT, especially Rik & Michael, are lifesavers. Rik has helped me so much with a variety of physical problems, and Michael is a patient teacher when it comes to showing the right and wrong way to do a particular exercise. They both display just the right balance of humor and support during what is often a difficult process (i.e., when one is in pain).

I’ve been coming to Central Park Physical therapy for almost 3 months now and I can’t recommend them enough! I had intense shoulder pain that no one could figure out and I had been to about 5 other physical therapists and no one could help me. One of them even made it worse. But after my first session with Dean, I already felt like a new person. We were able to take it from really really intense pain to almost no pain in an hour. And three months later, I can’t even remember which shoulder it was! He really takes the time in every session to see where you are and how he can best help you
