When I arrived at Park Sports a year ago, I was in excruciating pain, could barely walk and was facing two total hip replacements. All the physical therapists here, especially Sveltlana Lazarev and Boris Gilzon, helped me both prepare and recover from the surgeries. Not just physicallly, but emotionally. The second surgery was even harder to go through than the first and I really don't think I could have done it without encouragement from the people who work here.
They have been very focused on my unique situation, constantly assessing which part of my body needs to be strengthened, which set of muscles need to be stretched, always coming up with creative ideas to fix my myriad aches and pains.
Although I've been taught exercises to do at home, I benefit from the personal attention and discipline. (Also, the office is in a peaceful part of Park Slope and a pleasure to visit.)
At times the exercises can be grueling but I know if they did not push me I would not be where I am today: almost pain free, stronger and much more fit than I was a year ago.
I still have a ways to go but I feel confident knowing I have la creme de la creme when it comes to physical therapists.
Pros: Smart, skilled and friendly staff
