Central Park Physical Therapy

"I've visited numerous popular physical therapy clinics in NYC --for everything from back and knee injuries to arthritis. But working with Central Park Physical Therapy (30 E 60th) has been, by far, the most healing and empowering experience I've had. They have all the advanced equipment you'd expect, but the real differentiator is the one-on-one, personalized sessions. You're not passed off to assistants or put on autopilot machines. You get real care, real time, every time. My therapist is Rik Misiura , a former competitive triathlete who once led one of New York's largest physical therapy organizations, treating athletes, dancers, and movie stars alike. These days, he works more exclusively, bringing his mastery to clients who are serious about getting better. Rik brings an incredible range of approaches to each session, from Pilates-based movement, resistance training, and soft tissue release to breathwork and sound therapy. Every session is different because he actually listens to what your body needs that day. Somehow, he always gets it exactly right. He also has a few secret techniques - a fusion of Eastern and Western methods - that will quite literally knock your socks off. You'll walk in stiff or hurting, and leave grounded, realigned, painless and feeling great. There's something amazing about the breathwork he incorporates too, subtle but powerful, often unlocking deeper patterns in the nervous system. And at the end of each session, he offers optional sound healing: a moment of quiet integration that feels like a full reset. His presence is calm, focused, and deeply attuned and he also has a great sense of humor, which makes the sessions not just healing but genuinely enjoyable. It's rare to find a group with such deep expertise and genuine compassion, and I highly recommend Rik and Central Park PT. They even make house calls if you need them. If you're looking for someone who can help you feel better, move better, and reconnect with your body on every level, I can't recommend Central Park PT highly enough."

"I cannot recommend this physical therapy practice enough! The care they provide is truly exceptional. Rik, the founder and owner, is absolutely amazing. He goes above and beyond to not only address the immediate issues but also teaches simple, practical techniques that promote long-lasting, permanent relief. What sets them apart is their focus on educating clients, ensuring that you understand your body and how to maintain your progress. Rick's expertise, patience, and dedication are unmatched--I've been so impressed with his approach and the results I've seen. If you're looking for a physical therapist who genuinely cares and delivers exceptional results, look no further!"

"I highly recommend this physical therapy clinic for anyone dealing with back pain or neck pain. The entire staff is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. Rik, my therapist, was exceptional. His expertise and personalized approach made a significant difference in my recovery. He took the time to explain exercises and techniques thoroughly, which helped me understand the process and feel confident in my progress. Dean, another therapist at the clinic, was also fantastic. His encouragement and commitment to my well-being were evident from day one. The clinic itself is clean and well-equipped, creating a comfortable environment for therapy sessions. Overall, a top-notch experience with results that exceeded my expectations."
