Rehabilitation, Performance & Wellness Services

Physical Therapy @ Physio Wellness Brooklyn specializes in treatment of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.

We employ comprehensive manual therapy (“hands on”) approach in conjunction with Functional Therapeutic Exercise that is directly supervised by a licensed physical therapist providing necessary verbal cues with manual cueing, resistance, and stabilization along effective biomechanical movement patterns to ensure optimal neuromusculoskeletal recovery, motor learning & conditioning.

We provide comprehensive patient education to empower clients/patients to understand the specifics of their own anatomy, physiology & biomechanics for informed compliance in lifestyle practices oriented toward disease & injury prevention, physical rehabilitation & overall wellness.

Therapeutic modalities, specifically, cryotherapy, thermal (heat) & electrotherapy are only used, when indicated, as a secondary complement to manual techniques and functional therapeutic exercises.

Wellness Conditioning(TM) is a clinically informed, evidence-based, functionally-directed, application of therapeutic exercise and bodywork interventions, provided by a licensed physical therapist, with a background in clinical and performance exercise physiology.

Wellness Conditioning(TM) is provided for individuals without a formal diagnosis for physical therapy, however they seek to improve their comprehensive state of physical conditioning.
