Pain Relief
Pain can come in many forms. Our goal every session is to make sure you leave our session with less pain than when it began. However, we don’t believe in patch-up jobs. We believe that the best physical therapists are the ones who identify what causes the problem and teach you how to fix it. Our goal is to EDUCATE our patients about their bodies so they can be independent of us as soon as possible. Below are some of the conditions we treat: - Herniated discs - Knee pain - Hip joint pain - Neck pain - Headaches - Shoulder injuries - Arthritis pain - Muscle tears - Broken bones - Childhood Injuries (Osgood Schlatters Disease, Severs Disease, little league elbow) - Elbow and forearm pain (golfers elbow, tennis elbow) - Foot pain and ankle pain (shin splints, ankle sprain, Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis) Please contact our licensed therapists if you would like to hear more about these conditions and learn how to help heal yourself.

Senior Strengthening & Pain Relief
Navigating a bustling city with millions of people haphazardly walking (many while texting) creates problems for all of us. However, as we get older, our bodies start to progressively weaken, tighten, and lose balance, walking can become dangerous, especially in the icy winter months. Although getting older is part of life, the deleterious effects of age can be mitigated with targeted exercise. Studies have shown that one of the highest correlations to a long life is how much you walk. However, age related arthritis and osteoporosis can make walking painful. While there is no “cure” for arthritis, studies have shown that a gentle but consistent resistance training and balance program can help decrease pain levels and help keep you doing the things you love doing. Our NYSeniors Strength program has helped our patients avoid surgery, go on the trips they’ve dreamt of, play with their grand (or great-grand) kids, or just to get around the city a bit easier. Our gentle ManEx Method exercises are even safe for most patients with cardiac, diabetic, or nervous issues. Your Physical Therapist, working closely with your Primary Doctors will decide on a safe and effective program to help keep you healthy and active.

New Mother Pain Relief & Fitness
Having been raised by a mother who worked, studied, and still found the strength to take care of her son, I have a fond appreciation for the difficulty of being a mother in Manhattan. Even in the child friendly areas like the Upper West Side, mommies and future mommies cannot avoid the carrying, rocking, bending, and lifting (especially to pick up toy after toy after toy…). Unfortunately, pregnancy creates weaknesses and instabilities in core strength and posture that can eventually lead to severe pain. To make matters worse, childbirth causes large tears in either pelvic floor (natural delivery) or abdominal core (C-Section) that can cause weakness. Our CityMom Strength program takes our experienced pre and post natal healthcare professionals and helps our Mommy patients get back to their pre-pregnancy strength and functional levels as quickly as possible. We will start lightly with simple body weight and ManEx Method exercises and slowly progress you until you are easily able to achieve all the physical tasks that you desire, whether running marathons or just having strength and energy to chase after your beloved little ones. Contact us today to see how our CityMom Strength program can help you get back to full strength after childbirth!
Music Rehab Program
In 1838 Robert Schumann wrote: "All the music is complete and alive within me, so that I wish to effortlessly breathe it out, but now I can hardly bring it forth; I trip over one finger with the other. This is truly frightening and has already caused me much pain." I am NOT a musician. Musicians do not object playing for me once they realize that I have no preconceived notions about how they “should” play. I will simply be watching the biomechanics of playing and what they do to the human body. I will not try to change their technique. The musician will be assessed thoroughly in a functional environment. The musicians bring in their instruments and I will perform an analysis to see what it is that they’re doing and what might be changed to alleviate pain without affecting sound quality. Inevitably, over years and years of playing, posture, strength, and range of motion degrade, causing decreased performance and pain. Some musicians only need that one visit. For those who need a course of injury specific physical therapy treatment, this can be provided by our PT’s. Injury prevention is an inherent component of physiotherapy. All musicians will receive free screenings and consultations, and will only receive treatments if they require them.
Kids Sports & Fitness
Good exercise habits must be formed at a young age. Unfortunately, kids growing up where I work in Manhattan do not have the kinds of open spaces available to them to run around and play for most of the year, nor are their quick “gym classes” sufficient. Also, many times their after school sports coaches are teachers of other subjects with little formal advanced movement training. I have been helping boys and girls in Manhattan and the Hamptons to achieve their potential for over 10 years. Here are some ways your son or daughter can benefit from the DmitryPt program. - Improve sports specific (baseball, basketball, football, track and field, lacrosse, etc) performance to be the best player on their team and gain the confidence that comes from winning. - Win a scholarship. With rising tuition costs, this is even more important in today’s economy. The CityKid Movement program has helped its kids win hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships over the years by preparing them for tryouts and combines. - Just get in shape! Help your son or daughter learn the joys of exercise through the FunkTional Training program that will keep the kids engaged while helping them get and stay in great shape. - Prevent and treat injuries. I have seen too many children get unnecessary splints, braces, and even surgery because they did not consult with a skilled physical therapist immediately after the injury. Our patients know they can call us immediately after any small injury and have a free phone consultation (that’s the NYConcierge PT experience!) so the injury does not worsen. Contact us today to see how your son or daughter (ages 7-18) can benefit from our CityKid Movement program!
