What Is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy is a natural, evidence-based approach to reducing pain, restoring movement, and preventing future injuries—without medication or surgery. Whether you're recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic pain, or simply looking to move and feel better in everyday life, the licensed physical therapists at Metro Wellness NYC are here to help.
At Metro Wellness, every session is one-on-one, hands-on, and personalized. We combine clinical expertise with functional movement training to help you recover faster, improve strength, and return to the activities you love—pain-free and stronger than before. Our experienced orthopedic physical therapist has over 10 years of hands-on experience treating conditions like back pain, neck pain, joint pain, sciatica, arthritis, sports injuries, and post-surgical recovery.
We specialize in a variety of advanced techniques, including manual therapy, joint mobilization, IASTM (muscle scraping), PNF stretching, and therapeutic exercises tailored for strength, mobility, balance, and posture correction. Each treatment plan is customized to your needs and goals, ensuring effective results while preventing re-injury.
What sets us apart is our whole-body approach. We don't just treat symptoms—we address the root cause of your pain or dysfunction. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or healing after an injury, our mission is to help you move better, feel better, and live better.
