We treat a wide range of general physical therapy needs, with highly specialized care for oncology and edema recovery. Whether you are recovering from a surgery, managing a chronic condition, or looking to improve your daily mobility, our personalized treatments are designed to help you regain your strength and independence.

Examples of impairments include but are not limited to lymphedema, post-surgical edema, radiation fibrosis, post surgical range of motion and strength deficits, axillary web syndrome, chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy, trismus, gait and balance deficits, generalized weakness/debility.

We do not bill insurance directly at this time. We operate on a private-pay basis, which allows us to spend more time with each client, avoid the limitations insurance companies often place on treatment (such as visit caps or approved exercises), and design a plan based entirely on your needs and goals rather than what's covered.

No, you generally do not need a referral to start physical therapy with us. Because we are a cash-pay clinic and do not accept insurance, you can schedule an appointment and begin treatment immediately.

However, under New York State law and federal guidelines, there are a few case-by-case exceptions where a doctor's referral or signature is required: 

• The 10-Visit / 30-Day Limit: New York's Direct Access Law allows you to receive physical therapy without a referral for up to 10 visits or 30 days, whichever comes first. If your plan of care requires treatment beyond that timeline, state law requires a signed prescription or referral from a physician, nurse practitioner, podiatrist, or dentist to continue.

• Medicare Beneficiaries: If you are a Medicare patient, federal law requires a physician-certified plan of care to receive physical therapy, even at an out-of-network or cash-pay clinic. 

• Complex Medical History: If you have a highly complex condition or recent surgical history, we may request a referral or consult with your doctor to ensure the safest and most effective care.
