Why Do So Many Martial Artists Come To CityPT?

Many of our martial artist-patients tell us they have been disappointed with the Physical Therapy they have received at other practices in the past. The truth is, most physical therapists and physical therapy practices have little experience treating martial artists. They are not familiar with demands of martial arts training and competition. This prevents them from providing optimal care for martial artists. That is where City Physical Therapy stands out.

The City Physical Therapy Advantage:

  • Clinical Excellence
  • Martial Arts Experience
  • Superior Rehabilitation Facilities

In addition to his 20+ years of experience as a PT, Dan brings 30 years of martial arts experience to the table. He has treated tons of martial artists over the years ranging from recreational participants to instructors and elite international-level fighters. Dan’s understanding of martial arts training enables City Physical Therapy to provide the highest level of care possible for martial artists.

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

– J.W.

If you are a martial artist or serious athlete then Dan Tahany and his stellar team are the go-to professionals to see for your 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.

– T.U.

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 got my fingers and hand back into shape and back to punching in no time.

– W.C.

My work 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 work out the other two mornings each week.

– C.C.

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. Within a few weeks of seeing Dan, my range of motion started improving and I’m experiencing less pain.

– B.D.

I highly recommend Dan Tahany to any Martial Artist or Athlete. I’ve been practicing Shotokan Karate competitively for over 20 years and strongly believe Dan is the perfect Physical Therapist to help get you back into training.

– J.L.

I had been having shoulder pain as a result of an injury I acquired doing jiu-jitsu for about a year. I was no longer able to push myself in the gym to the high level that I was used to. Dan diagnosed me with impingement and a possible tear in my rotator cuff muscles. 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.

– J.H.

Last spring I developed tendonitis in my right ankle. After a month of treatment, 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.

– K.E.

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.

– P.J-M.

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 have been an integral part of my fight camps and preparation for some of my biggest events.
