Thank goodness for Parks Sports physical therapy and unfortunately I’ve had to use them quite a bit this year. I went in January after my bilateral knee replacement and Boris was great. I saw him initially at the Garfield location in the beginning stages of my recovery(when I was still using a walker) and he reactivated my quads which were traumatized and not activating. Later I worked with Katie on Fulton and she helped me correct some imbalances and get my gait back together. This month I had rotator cuff surgery so I’m back at PT… sigh… and Katie rehabbing me, passive ROM and doing soft tissue work which I think is speeding up my recovery.

Katie is amazing. I have been afraid that id never be able to straighten my arm again and the magic she’s been working on me as well as a little hard work has made me believe otherwise. The place is beautiful and they really work with you on scheduling. Every experience(while painful lol) has been better than the last.

PT service was fine if not a bit of a cattle call and overcrowded. Be forewarned you will be dealing with the most incompetent office staff in recent memory.

Katie Wallner is THENECKEXPERT I’ve always dreamed of. Her deep massage work on my chronically out of alignment neck is heaven sent. The warming packs they put on the areas of treatment are wonderful. There are lots of props in the space. this place is a social environment where there are several patients getting treated at a time by one person, so if you are looking for a quiet, undistracted, spa atmosphere, this is not for you. It’s way more fun than a doctor’s office though. The space is open, has a nice exposed brick wall, nicely decorated, and Linda the receptionist is cheerful. Katie even emails me a custom exercise program I can print out at home and follow along. They have an amazing rebounder pilates machine for my hamstrings. They also have cardio machines for warming up.

This place is great. Perfect balance of casual and professional. I worked with Beatrice on my post-surgery wrist recovery. She ramped me up over the course of 6 sessions from simple stretches and exercises up to more difficult(but necessary) stretches and exercises. All while giving me tips and techniques to work on my own while at home. Plus, the added benefit of having her work on my wrist were the wrist massages. They helped reduce scarring, so not a bad part of the session! After a ½ dozen sessions(and an OK from my doc) I’m good to go.

I discovered this new physical therapy office on Fulton street. I was going for therapy near my work in Manhattan, but this place is much closer to my home. I am currently recovering from a hamstring injury. This office just recently opened, so I got an appointment right away. Boris Gilzon, the therapist, turned out to be the owner of two other offices in Park Slope. I had an initial evaluation and a follow-up session with him, and already I can tell that he is an experienced and intelligent therapist. He spent a lot of time with me, and showed me some new exercises. The space is huge and has Pilates equipment, TRX, and weight machines. I am already noticing a difference in my recovery, highly recommend it.
