Ali was lovely. She was gentle, witty, and thorough. She explained her processes and made me feel like I had her complete focus when she was with me, despite the fact that she had several other patients to attend to. I liked her a lot and I feel confident that her treatment will effectively heal my ankle.

I have been going to physical therapy with Ali at Therapeutic Inspirations for about two years now and it’s changed my life. I feel better and I can move better than ever before. Ali and the rest of the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable and their hours are pretty flexible. I highly recommend this facility to anyone in the midtown East area!

I recently saw Brian Lau, a physical therapist, for an acute lower back injury that was causing me a great deal of pain. Brian is very smart, competent, personable and respectful. His evaluation of my problem was right on the mark, and he did some treatments and showed me some very beneficial exercises for my back. I walked out of that office feeling much, much better than when I came in. The staff was also efficient and friendly. Overall, an excellent experience.

Do NOT use this group of providers. Not only did the office assistants send invoices to an address not even near me, they went and charged a huge amount without authorization, without speaking to me and then when I called copped a huge attitude because THEY messed up. The office manager even admitted on the phone that both invoices were returned to the practice, but did they call or email to get the correct mailing address or find out what the issue is?
I do not simply send money without an invoice, especially as I need to verify everything with my insurance company. There are a ton of physical

After having broken my arm high up inside my rotator cuff, I was referred to this place by my workers' comp insurance company. My therapist, Susan, is wonderful. She explains things thoroughly and has a great touch -- she even knows her baseball! I enjoy sharing the gym space with others having their sessions, too. Everyone -- from the receptionists to other patients -- has been very nice.
I have seen some people complain in their reviews that therapists at this location conduct more than one session at a time, that patients are left to do exercises on their own. Yes, dearie, it's called adulting

Whenever anyone says they need to see a PT, I automatically say, Brian Lau at Therapeutic Inspirations. He is the absolute best! Very knowledgeable, attentive and personable. He has so many interests and relates extremely well to everyone, whether it is cooking, sports, travel, family, everything. I cannot say enough about Brian!

READER- BEWARE: This office is THE perfect example of something run like a greedy, relentless business, and NOT a "patient-centric" system like its site claims.
First off, what I'm about to write is not a reflection of my actual practitioner in any way- Dr. Brian L. is an incredible professional, and he treated me very well. I only wish the same could be said of his administrative and management team. Their hyper-aggressive appointment scheduling tactics amount to borderline harassment.
As soon as you're done with your days' PT work, see what happens if you immediately

I simply called yesterday and spoke to a woman name Gladys. I explained that I was a back seat passenger involved in a car accident. She asked if someone contacted me I told her someone from State Farm by the name of Jennifer called me and left a claim number on voicemail. I was informed by lawyers not to speak to the insurance companies. I explained showily that I was the passenger and she only requested my information. The rep told me she will call me back. I called today since she never called me back and she told me that geico does not have my information. I told her to please let me explain

Billing department has given me the same bill on 4 separate occasions.
I payed the bill in May.
I am still getting bills in September.
This is a form of extortion.
Not to mention their physical therapy is pretty bare-bones. Not much attention is given to the individual patient, and their equipment was near none. On top of that, the physical therapist was frequently late, and sometimes did not show.
I do not know what I paid for. But I pray that someone else reads my review and assists me in shutting this business down.

A whole big mix up with scheduling my appointment. the office is very disorganized and apparently doesnt have the system updated with accurate appt information. they called me last minute to tell me dr malkin wouldnt be able to see but i could see another dr at another location at the same appt time and i agreed. i show up and they dont even have me in the system for the same appt me time. had me waiting for a long time to see the other dr because they had me in their system for a later time and no one told me. they need to get it together. dr malkin apologizes and tries to make amends for the

No no no no no no no! My first visit was okay (Liz?). My second visit, I was hurt so badly that I had to call out sick from work the next day. I felt like the guy (Andy?) really didn't care. He was so lackadaisical and was treating me and another patient in another room simultaneously so he would give me exercises to do without even watching! When he came back, he did something that severely hurt my back and I screamed. He didn't even attempt to do anything about it. Then I went in on a Saturday and met with Ali who I found to be quite abrasive and didn't really listen to all my

Wow, what a disaster this place is. I went to the office on 32nd st. Although Brian, my PT was knowledgable and super nice, the inhibitions of the practice does not allow him to practice at his full potential. first of all, it is like the korean nail salons of physical therapy, you are forced to see the PT at the same time as 2-3 other patients, so you don't get one on one care. For inexperienced people this can be tragic because most people may think their form in executing the exercises are correct meanwhile they are not. so basically you are wasting your time. You need someone to watch

A surgeon's eyes lit up with dollar signs when he saw my limited right arm/shoulder range of motion, but thanks to Ali's PT, no surgery needed and I'm almost back to full use of my dominant side! Phew! My husband is likewise avoiding foot tendon surgery thru PT here, and she had worked her magic with both my adult kids with knee and wrist injuries. I was skeptical but now am a 100% convert. Don't go anywhere else.

I came here for a couple of months after ignoring a bad ankle sprain that took way too long to heel. After finally being reasonable I spoke with my podiatrist who recommended that I do PT to help the recovery process. I worked with Erwin who is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and was patient with me. He helped my muscles "re-learn" how to move naturally. He was always ready and I never had to wait more than a a couple of minutes to start my session.
I was very pleased with Erwin and the rest of the staff at TI. They were all kind and welcoming and I'd recommend them to anyone

This place isn't for me. I went here for a month before moving on.
This was my third PT, all for different injuries. My first moved to California, my insurance dropped the office where my second one worked, and this one is geographically convenient.
In my consult, I made it clear that I had this injury before in the other foot, and I talked about the treatment that helped heal it the first time. I also made it clear that I do Crossfit, which is a very aggressive workout program, widely regarded as reckless and dangerous. I've been doing it for 2 years and I love it, but this injury

I'm undergoing treatment for a pesky sports injury that is RUINING MY MOOD!!!!! Luckily I was referred to TI for treatment and I am on the road to recovery because if I can't start running again soon, I am going to have a serious sense of humour failure

I am very pleased with the service and my injury is healing up nicely. I have had two therapists, Brian and Swarti, both of whom have been professional and friendly.
They took time to explain the purpose of the exercises and how the exercises and stretches help you to get better, even going the extra mile
