Bryant Park Physical Therapy

"I was introduced to Alexandra at Bryant Park Physical Therapy through a neighbor after suffering from a severe rotator cuff tear in my left shoulder due to years of repetitive overuse at work. My job requires carrying heavy lasers and equipment, and after years of bending over patients and maneuvering devices, my shoulder had simply worn down. When I visited my orthopedic doctor, surgery was immediately recommended. I was honestly terrified both of the surgery itself and the long recovery time, with no guarantee of improvement. Meeting Alexandra changed everything. At the time, my pain was unbearable. I could barely put on or take off my clothes. My shoulder and arm were in constant agony. After my very first treatment, I already knew she was something special empathetic, caring, and truly invested in helping her patients heal. I had been to other physical therapy offices before, but they felt very transactional all business and very little care. With Alexandra, it was different. After just the first session, my pain dropped from an 8 to about a 5 or 6. She immediately recognized that years of leaning over patients had compromised my posture and began correcting that as well.i continued going back a few times until I felt better. Now, over a year later, the shoulder that was once supposed to go through surgery is about 80% - 90 % better, and many days I feel no discomfort at all. Recently, my right shoulder began showing the same symptoms because I had been overusing it while protecting my left. I went back to Alexandra last week, and my pain level dropped from an 8-9 to almost zero after treatment and supportive taping. She truly is a miracle worker. I felt compelled to write this review because genuine healers deserve recognition. No one should have to live with constant pain when there are dedicated therapists like Alexandra who truly care about helping people heal. I'm incredibly grateful and will absolutely continue therapy with her even as I feel better. Thank you, Alexandra."

"Aleksandra is the best physical therapist you'll ever encounter. I have been seeing Aleksandra for 10 months, after undergoing spine surgery due to a herniated disc that was pinching my sciatic nerve and causing me extreme pain, as well as strength and flexibility loss. I asked my surgeon for the best PT he knew and he immediately recommended Aleksandra. From the early days of rehabilitation, when things are very sensitive, to today, when I am able to exercise on my own, she has demonstrated incredible diligence, effectiveness, and compassion. Not only did she plan a tailored and comprehensive care plan, with weekly progressions, but she also answered every one of my questions about the process and reassured me when I was worried about not healing properly. She has always been very flexible and personable, fully dedicating her attention to the patient as she moves from Pilates exercises to manual work. The space itself is filled with light and easily accessible. In terms of scheduling, Aleksandra has always worked around my schedule to accommodate me. In most PT offices, you are handled by three different people and left under the care of a machine for 20 minutes: Aleksandra works with you throughout the process, remembers everything from the previous session, and is just a wonderful person to be around. I cannot recommend her enough - I owe her my recovery. Thank you Aleksandra!"

"I had a massive tear in my rotator cuff that required surgery and extensive PT. Alex was amazing in our sessions and gave me a strong home program as well. I have had a full recovery in large part due to her help. I cannot recommend her more highly for her sensitivity, professionalism, and commitment."
