Testimonials

“As an athlete and a coach, I entrust my rehabilitation to Joe Red and the staff at Metro Sports Physical Therapy. Joe is professional, knowledgeable and compassionate and he understands the toll that an injury places upon an athlete. Joe develops programs that lead to successful outcomes from injury and prepares athletes for return to sport. I would recommend Metro Sports PT to anybody who wants professional care from attentive staff in a friendly environment.”

“After The 2007 NFL season I had knee surgery and did my rehab with Paul Kelly at Metro Sports PT on 48th St/2nd Ave in Manhattan. My recovery was great and I owe it all to Paul and the gang. I came back stronger and faster than ever and we went on to win the Superbowl in 2008/09. These guys are the best.”

“Metro Sports PT rocks man! It takes a real Champion of the World (visit my website http://judahfriedlander.com/) to know champions. Everyone at Metro Sports PT is a winner.”

“I tore my ACL just before the MLS playoffs and was concerned that I may never play professional soccer again. Joe Red played a pivotal role in my recovery and I’m back to playing the game I love at the professional level. Joe and his team at Metro Sports PT are professional and understanding and they made the rehab process an enjoyable experience.”

“Being a Major League baseball player, I’ve seen and been around many PTs, but Lisa Schneider and the therapists at Metro Sports Physical Therapy have been absolutely amazing in helping me get back to the major leagues.”

“My job takes me all over the country and I have access to the sports medicine staff from all the major college programs, but Metro Sports Physical Therapy in Manhattan is my go to place when I am in the NYC tri-state area. They are always professional, caring and knowledgeable. They have helped me get back on the court after numerous injuries over the past years. Thanks Metro Sports PT!”

“I won “Survivor” on the hit CBS television show and when I need winning PT in New York, I go to Metro Sports Physical Therapy. They provide the best physical therapy in a friendly and fun environment.”

“During my career in college football and professional bodybuilding, I have had my share of injuries. Paul C. Kelly and the staff at Metro Sports PT consistently get me back to competing. The entire staff is great and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody who wants superior physical therapy care.”

“I’m a NY Daily News Golden Gloves Silver Medalist and I’ve been coming to Metro Sports PT on 43rd Street for about 3 years, unfortunately, LOL! I am just constantly re-injuring myself but I’ve been coming to see Joe Redington for all these injuries and it seems that with Joe you get more than a physical therapy session. Joe does a great job rehabbing people like myself and making sure that I am able to jump back into the ring at 100%.”

“As a former professional athlete who continues to place strenuous demands on his body, it was important that my physical therapist understand my goals and appreciate my performance expectations. Through three orthopedic surgeries over a 5 year period, Paul C. Kelly has formulated and executed therapy programs that have returned me to peak performance and helped me navigate the healing process. As an athlete in a rehabilitative process, having someone to urge caution and patience is often as valuable as having someone to push you. Paul has always struck the proper balance in managing my enthusiasm to push too hard, too fast, with properly motivating me once I was able to safely proceed.”

“Metro Sports Physical Therapy has helped me recover from numerous injuries. Not only is she knowledgeable and capable, but she truly cares about her patients. She took the time to thoroughly meet all of my physical therapy needs and always did so with a smile. The personal attention and friendly conversation I received under Kery’s care is unparalleled in my experience. I would not hesitate to return to Kery should I be injured again, and I would highly recommend her to any of my friends or family.”

“Metro Sports Physical Therapy are on the cutting edge with their physical therapy treatment. They helped get my knee back into tip-top shape which allowed me to return to running. Now that my rehab has ended, I am even training for a Tough Mudder next spring. Without Domenic, and the entire crew at Metro Sports, I don’t think this would have been possible. Thank you all so much!”

“I can not say enough about the wonderful experience I’ve had with Sejal Vyas at Metro Sports. She has played a key role in my quick recovery post ankle surgery, and continues to do so each time I visit with her. Her positive energy, knowledge, skill and humor make my bi-weekly sessions something to look forward to.”

“I’ve received treatment at MetroSports for various injuries, on and off, for five or six years. I can attest, unequivocally, that they take very good care of their clients. Sejal Vyas, PT and all the MetroSports therapists and staff are very professional, and they attend to each client with maximum interest in their particular ailment. And the therapists really know their stuff – I’m always impressed by their knowledge of physiology and the various approaches and treatments to each and every type of injury.

In addition, MetroSports is very flexible and accommodating in their scheduling. They work with you to make you therapy sessions convenient for your personal schedule, and they always do their best to accommodate last-minute changes when a sudden conflict arises.

I love MetroSports. I love MetroSports because they’ve taken very good care of me through my various injuries. And not to be underestimated, I love MetroSports because it’s a fun place to be. It’s always a cheery, fun-loving atmosphere. All MetroSports employees are super-pleasant, fun people, and they all seem to enjoy their work, as well as the clients. You’ll never spend a session at MetroSports without listening to some enjoyable banter that will put a smile on your face. You’ll want to come to your therapy session because it’s an enjoyable place to be. And ultimately, that will help you heal faster. MetroSports gets my full recommendation. You won’t be disappointed.”

“During the past ten years I have required various physical therapies and always return to Sejal Vyas, PT and MetroSports. The high caliber and professionalism of the therapists and the supportive, relaxed atmosphere have been a blessing to me in literally painful times. Someone is always available to listen and help you through your recovery. To this day, I follow the exercise plan that I used in physical therapy and continue to lead an active life.

MetroSports PT has been a life-save and knee-save for me. The staff surpasses all others in town.“

“Joe, Joe, Joe… thank you so much. Not just for your excellent training, but for the happy, healthy, healing atmosphereyou make happen at Metro Sports. I’ve kept up with the exercises (lost 15 pounds, too!). I mean, you know the atmosphere counts for a lot, don’t ya? I mean, I came to you in pain, dude, and your joyous personality was a crucial healing addition to the exercises.

So I just want you to know I’m doing well. I want you to know my knees don’t hurt, man! I think it’s important to let people know when they’ve done an excellent job; when they’ve had a positive effect on someone’s life. So you need to know there’s someone out there who thanks you. Use me as a testimonial at any time. Big woman in her late 50’s who’s walkin’ pain-free. It’s one thing to help skinny young’uns, but I’m like a whole ’nother level.

Please tell Lisa Schneider and Lauren I say hello. And please say a super special hello to Eric – the hardest working, most patient dude in the world! You guys are the best!”

“I had a wonderful weekend surfing and began to think about how miraculous this all is. So I wanted to just write a note of thanks to you and your staff for getting me “back on my board”. You not only helped me to recover from a torn quadriceps in my left leg but also from a surfing accident which required a total of 90 stitches and staples holding my right thigh together 2 years later!

Thanks for everything!”

“Unfortunately I’ve had to undergo physical therapy for separate injuries to my back and shoulder over the last few years.

Fortunately, though, I was referred to Metro Sports Physical Therapy for my rehabilitation. Metro Sports PT is a first class operation owned and run by the best Physical therapists in New York City.

I received dedicated and exhaustive treatment during every visit from the entire staff that ultimately led to a pain-free and full recovery from both injuries. I was on the verge of giving up the sports I’ve played my whole life, but thanks to the gang at Metro Sports I’m playing harder and more often than ever.”

Dan and his team are amazing! They repaired an ankle that 4 other physical therapy places had been unable to change. Always, one to one attention, in a calm upbeat atmosphere. You can tell that the staff like working there. They will hang in there with you until you see real improvement. Very convenient location and spotless too.

“Dan Tahany and City Physical Therapy helped get me back on the mats when everyone else screamed surgery. This is a great team of healers–and Dan is hilarious!”

“If you are a martial artist or serious athlete then Dan Tahany and his stellar team at City Physical Therapy are the go to professionals to see for your physical therapy needs. I have been training and fighting in Muay Thai for over three years and have been lucky to stay fairly injury free, but when I sprained my ankle 2 years ago and found Dan Tahany I knew I found the only person I would ever see for my physical therapy needs. He not only got my ankle mobile and pain free, but he progressed our PT sessions to the level of a hard workout to ensure I was strong enough to perform at a competitive level. Recently, I returned to Dan at City PT for a torn iliopsoas tendon — again, they took me from not being able to do more than walk to my competitive Muay Thai training workouts pain free in 2months. O-waaaay!!!!”

“As a martial artist, having aches and pains is nothing new, but after I sprained my fingers while training, I couldn’t even make a simple fist without feeling stiffness or pain in my hand. Dan and the friendly, knowledgeable staff at CityPT got my fingers and hand back into shape and back to punching in no time. I’ve seen other therapists before, but CityPT is my top choice for physical therapy!”

“My work at CityPT with Dan not only helped me with my knee injury but it significantly made a positive impact on my physical fitness as a whole. Dan helped me recover from my injury as well as got me into the habit of strengthening my legs on a regular basis which inspired me to attend not only my physical therapy three times a week, but to workout the other two mornings each week. When my PT was lessened to two times per week I was already in the habit of going each weekday, so I started working out three times a week. Now that my work with Dan is over and my knee is recovered I have continued to workout five days a week and I don’t intend to stop. Dan helped me set a foundation in which we started slowly but surely and continuously gained momentum. Dan and his staff are all professional, courteous, attentive, and fun to be around. I would definitely recommend CityPT to all people, whether athletes or not.”

“As a lifelong martial artist there’s no escaping wear and tear! As I reached my late 40s many of my ‘issues’ started getting in the way of my training. I’ve been suffering from ‘kali elbow’ as a result of 20 years of stick fighting and as a result started loosing range of motion in my arm. Within a few weeks of seeing Dan, my range of motion started improving and I’m experiencing less pain. Although many years of banging have taken its toll, with Dan’s insightful therapy, I’ll be able to keep banging for another 20 years. I can’t recommend him enough!!”

“When I first went to City Physical Therapy, I had been having shoulder pain as a result of an injury I acquired doing jiu-jitsu for about a year. The pain was quite substantial and, most importantly, I was no longer able to push myself in the gym to the high level that I was used to. I instantly felt comfortable at CityPT. Dan and his staff are extremely professional and friendly, and promote a great healing environment. Dan diagnosed me with impingement and a possible tear in my rotator cuff muscles. We made a plan to improve my impingement with stretching and strength training. I stuck to the regimen that Dan had laid out for me over the next few months and by the end my flexibility had significantly improved and the pain in my shoulder was gone. I avoided surgery and am now able to train as hard as I like without having to worry about my shoulder. Since working with Dan, I have had two Muay Thai fights. I won the first by TKO and lost the second by split decision. I know my training would not have been nearly as effective without Dan’s help.”

“Last spring I developed tendonitis in my right ankle. After a month of treatment from City Physical Therapy, I was back to my training in Muay Thai. Daniel and his staff helped me strengthen my ankle and also provided me with the tools and knowledge to help prevent any further complications. I am fighting strong now!”

“Dan helped me after I dislocated my shoulder during a Muay Thai Fight. He really understood my injury and through intense therapy, I was able to get back in the ring 3 months later. My shoulder is definitely stronger now than it was before my injury. I recommend City Physical Therapy for any athlete who needs Physical Therapy.”

“I compete in Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu, injuries are unfortunately a part of the sport. While fight sports are an individual endeavor, no one steps foot into a ring or mat without a strong team working with and supporting them. Dan and his team at City PT have been an integral part of my fight camps and preparation for some of my biggest events. I just wanted to share some of my experiences working with Dan and his amazing team at City PT to express my gratitude for the work that they do.

Leading up to IFMA World Championships in 2017, Dan treated me for a knee and ankle injury. Through intensive PT work with Dan and his team I fully recovered, just in time to fight in NYC and then twice in Belarus.

During the Worlds I sustained a shoulder injury and could barely extend my left arm. Panicking because the Pan American Championships were in 5 months, I immediately went to City PT after the Worlds to work with Dan. Through Dan’s help I was able to recover enough strength and mobility to win a gold medal at the Pan American Championships.

I am so grateful to everyone at City PT for everything they have done to help me get better and stronger so I could achieve my goals.

Currently I am back in physical therapy at City Pt with Helen after sustaining a shoulder injury during Jiu Jitsu. After working with them for so many years I have no doubt that I will soon be back on the mats, stronger, more mobile, and more flexible.

I recommend City PT to all of my students and anyone I come across dealing with a nagging or recent injury. They have helped and taught me so much and they can help you too. Don’t hesitate to book your appointment!”
