Empowerment Physical Therapy

Experiencia fantástica: I started my recover journey back in November of 2019 after sustaining a shoulder injury which later over time affected my back. I went to three different physical therapy places and left all three times without feeling 100 until I stumbled upon empowerment physical therapy. With the help of doctor Lin i finally reached my recover goal and feel as good as I did before the injury occurred. The greatest thing about this place is how easy it is to work with doctor Lin and the fact that he listens and adjusts the physical therapy to work with you. Side note. The cupping sessions were a huge game changer. Definitely would recommend to anyone who is in need of physical therapy and is finally ready to take that step into becoming healthy and strong once again.

Experiencia fantástica: This place are the best . Good atention ,professional treatment .Empowerment physical therapy care for people get the right treatment

Experiencia fantástica: I sustained an injury at work that led to a pinched nerve in my upper back. I has been going to a physical therapist for a month and half and I felt no relief. Faith would have it that my therapist at the time had made a billing mistake which led to an interruption in my physical therapy. I went on goggle and looked for a new therapist. This is when I found Empowerment physical therapy. They returned my call immediately. I have been receiving treatment now for about a month and half and I have felt a lot better. I have had cupping treatments and I believe that’s what has been helping along with the physical therapist approach which is let’s treat the base of the problem. Physical therapy has definitely helped with my pinched nerve. I love their office and the vibe of the office as well their communication as I mentioned earlier is great and they definitely listen. If you have pain I would suggest you try Empowerment Physical therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: After conducting thorough research on potential physical therapy options for my mother's walking/balance issues, I came across Empowerment Physical Therapy and was impressed by the numerous positive online reviews. I decided to take my mother there and was pleasantly surprised by the high level of professionalism and courtesy displayed by the entire staff. In just six weeks of attending sessions, my mother's walking, balance and confidence has shown significant improvement. I highly recommend Empowerment Physical Therapy to anyone in need of outstanding physical therapy care.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Lin was thorough and knowledgeable. His cupping services helped alleviate aches and pains.

Experiencia fantástica: I had been dealing with sciatica and lower back pain, needing pills to sleep or to get my day started. Dr Lin helped me immensely! I trusted him and his methods and my back is thankful. He introduced me to cupping which I love and still go back for occasional sessioms as a tune up, so to speak. I also brought my daughter to him after she dislocated her knee. I love that Dr Lin engages with his patients and gives you things to do at home to keep up the work you do in office. There are also plans available if needed for after your paid insurance visits are up. Thank you Dr Lin!

Experiencia fantástica: I always enjoy my time at Empowerment Physical therapy and find that every session is helpful in reducing pain, regaining flexibility and strength, or both. Dr. Lin is warm, patient, and knowledgable, and the staff are equally friendly and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: It will be a year in July when I was injured. I was kayaking on the mighty Hudson. The wind was blowing double digits and we were battling the current and rising tide. We were tossed around and needed to get ashore. We had to paddle deeper and more frequently. I felt something give and tremendous pain ensued. I kayaked the whole season with relentless pain. Different remedies were tried. Nothing worked. My roommate worked with someone who received PT at Empowerment Physical Therapy. They said it wasn't the typical setting in PT. I decided to give it a try. They were right. My therapist listened, gave the necessary attention, yet nudged me to do more. The atmosphere is warm and friendly yet provides the challenges needed with guidance. Here you are not a number. You are treated as a unique individual. I would highly recommend Empowerment Physical Therapy to anyone needing PT with a holistic approach to healing. Anne S.

He has all the qualities that one needs to be a great therapist. My experience has been nothing but positive!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been dealing with moderate to severe knee pain for about three years. My first experience with physical therapy was not what I expected. I was about to give up but I decided to try Empowerment Physical Therapy and it exceeded expectations. My therapist’s holistic and knowledgeable approach was not only motivating but I was feeling better within two sessions. I have become more diligent by doing exercises at home to compliment my sessions because I appreciate the accountability. I highly recommend Empowerment Physical Therapy not only due to how I have been feeling but it is also filled with friendly staff and clean environment.

He is kind and understanding. I would recommend him to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Dr. Lin! My 84 year old dad recently had knee replacement surgery and he went to Dr. Lin shortly after returning from short-term rehab. Dr. Lin was patient and thoughtful in his assessment of my dad and explained his plan to both of us thoroughly. My dad went to Dr. Lin over the course of several weeks of therapy and grew stronger and more agile going from ambulating with a cane to being completely independent. My dad received personalized care and was very happy with the therapy he received. He was also very satisfied with the follow up and recommendations from Dr. Lin about exercises after his therapy ended. As a registered nurse I care very much about my patients’ experiences in their care. I was happy for the excellent care my dad received and would highly recommend Dr. Lin to my family and friends!

Experiencia positiva: I am a new patient to Empowerment Physical Therapy. In saying that I feel comfortable with the place, and it's environment. Dr. Lin seems knowledgable in his field, warm, and friendly. Dr. Lin cares enough to listen to your concerns, symptoms your dealing with, which is very important for a patient to know, and feel their being heard. I had a Lapiplasty foot surgery. I've had 7 sessions so far. It's still too early for me to fully share my full outcome experience, and recovery. Dr. Lin helps me feel optimistic that my recovery, and mobility will be a possible one. I will definitely keep you updated on my final outcome. Staying positive ????Giving 4 stars, because I need to allow room for my final progress rating. I didn't want to forget mentioning Dr. Lin's receptionist Ms. Jezsica, I believe that's how she spells her name, very unique. She is very professional, warm, and friendly, very much appreciated.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been coming here for a few months now, Dr. Lin is a great physical therapist. He will challenge you slowly over time to help you build strength and relieve the pain.

Experiencia fantástica: Experience the personal touch of phone calls - shows your well being is being thought of even when not at the therapy location. Good suggestions give pause to be more aware of things to consider that can prevent flareups. Get more uninterrupted sleep and reduce or eliminate drugs. Learn things to do that can help you start your day with reduced or no pain. Address your situation by taking into account current limitations to avoid exacerbating the condition.

Experiencia fantástica: I had chronic shoulder pain for almost two years from an old cheer injury, I have been going to empowerment physical therapy for the last 2 months. The pain in my shoulders have gone down significantly. I would recommend empowerment for any of your physical therapy needs. It has helped me tremendously. Dr. Lin is truly amazing not only a great doctor, but also a kind person.

Experiencia fantástica: My favorite part of my visits to Empowerment Physical Therapy is that my therapist doesn’t just address the symptoms of my pain, instead targeting the causes and showing me exercises that I can do both in the office and at home. Would definitely recommend to anyone in need of physical therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: Therapy has been very helpful so far. Doing a lot of variation which I like because things don’t become redundant. Dr Lin takes a very personalized approach to therapy which is very important and he communicates well which is crucial to making sure the exercises and movements we are doing are effective.

Experiencia fantástica: A friend recommended that I try Physical Therapy for my chronic and worsening lower back pain/sciatica, that had previously only been helped by a chiropractor in NYC. I’ve been going to Empowerment PT now, once or twice a week, for about 7 weeks, 2 of which I wasn’t able to go. I’ve been pleasantly surprised that my back pain has gradually subsided and does seem to improve with each visit. I used to only be able to drive for less than 1 hour, and have now made a 2 ½ hour drive this past week with no pain or tingling. The staff of Empowerment PT is extremely friendly and helpful. The environment is open, clean, well equipped and super positive. I highly recommend Empowerment PT!

Experiencia fantástica: I was a Social Worker for 36 years, and while I loved the job , the long hours of sitting and using a computer caused me to have neck pain since 2020. I went to several physical therApists in the past two years with mixed results and eventually decided to try my own home treatment. Unfortunately, that did not work either and I found myself unable to sleep more then two hours a night due to debilitating neck pain . I would ice my neck, take hot showers at 2 a .m. And try other things, all with no success . Then a miracle happened . I was driving in Central Avenue in Yonkers when I noticed the sign for Empowerment Physical Therapy. I have now been seeing Dr. Lin for over one month and the results are amazing Dr. Lin works with you directly, and supervises the treatment . He uses techniques that I have never seen before , and while my neck is not perfect , I feel like I am finally on the right track . I would definitely recommend him and his office to try to get your pain to go away !

He listens to my concerns and quickly intervenes. My PT experience with Dr. Lin so far has been great!

I injured my groin at work; and I was scheduled to run the Philadelphia marathon. I thought about pulling out! My very first appointment; I discussed the injury in detail to Dr. Lin. He told me point blank that I will be ready come race day. He developed a combination of exercise, foam rolling and use a state of the art muscle Stimulator machine on the injured area for about 9 sessions. Today I ran the Philadelphia Marathon in 3:25:16 which is a 7+ minutes Personal Record. Thank you Dr. Lin I owe you one for today's Medal‍♂️

Experiencia fantástica: I just happened walk in to Empowerment PT when going to Yonkers Spine & Pain. Dr. Lin was very helpful and made himself available immediately. He’s very knowledgeable and got me back to my active lifestyle quickly. I’ve been to many PTs over the years and Dr. Lin and Empowerment have been tops. If you need a quality physical therapist quickly please give him a call.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Shi-Feng Lin Is by far the best physical therapist I have encountered in the past few years. He takes his time with each and every patient that walks through the doors. For the first time in years I have finally gotten some relief. If something is not working he takes the time to find what does work. I have been to several other locations and not once gotten the relief I have in the short time I have been here. I’m thankful I found this place. If you want to feel better give him a try.

Experiencia fantástica: I suffered a spinal injury because of a side airbag deployment in January of this year, and was recommended to Dr Lin‘s practice by my neurologist treating my nerve damage. First off, let’s just begin by saying this is not your “standard physical therapy” practice. Dr Lin has an amazing balance of traditional physical therapy with a light blend of his “eastern philosophy” techniques and styles. Having a background in anatomy and physiology, Dr Lin knew I wasn’t looking to lay on the table and be massaged. He found the right balance of “teaching me how to fish” and recommending some amazing equipment to help me recover. The entire office becomes less like a “business environment” and more like a “bunch of friends” as your sessions continue. With an extremely relaxed atmosphere and amazingly professional staff from the minute you walk in, I cannot write enough nor give an adequate amount of stars to this practice.

Experiencia fantástica: I met Dr. Lin back in march of this year. I presented with mid back pan on the right. He evaluated me and devised a plan to get me better. During the end of my treatment I happened to develop a pinched nerve(unrelated to therapy) that radiated from my right side of the neck down my arm to my fingertips. He immediately ascertained the issue a developed a plan to get me better and he did. I am now happily pain free and I would definitely recommend Dr. Lin and Empowerment Physical therapy to anyone who has pain due to any injury and wants to get top rated professional care.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Lin and Empowerment Physical Therapy got me back on my feet and back to work after dealing with multiple frustrating back injuries; 2 herniated discs and 2 bulging discs. Dr. Lin has superior knowledge in how the body work and the root cause of pain. He cares about the well being of his patients and worked with me to achieve my goals and get back to being pain free, full mobility, full strength and feeling physically fit. Highly recommend Empowerment PT.

Experiencia fantástica: I sustained a lower back injury at work and was recommended empowerment physical therapy by multiple people I work with. I am only on my second week of physical therapy but I was quickly amazed by how much better I feel with each session. Dr. Lin is very friendly and demonstrates a deep understanding of the body and what is contributing to my specific ailments. I will definitely recommend his office to anyone who needs PT.

Experiencia fantástica: I have two months in therapy and my progress is incredible. In a short time I've been able to advance in my healing and got progressively better week over week. thanks to the staff and doctors in empowerment therapy; they are knowledgeable and courteous, they make you feel like family.

Experiencia fantástica: Trying to lift my 65lb boxer into the car, I tore my bicep and have a SLAP tear. I never had a physical injury and relied on google reviews to help me choose a physical therapist. I decided to give Empowerment PT and Dr. Lin a try. I can honestly say Dr. Lin was patient with me, challenged me with different work outs and if things didn’t feel like they were making a difference in progress he challenged me with something else. Dr. Lin is more than just a therapist; he takes interest in your personal well being as well. When I fell ill with Covid, he followed up with me and when I regained some strength, he gave me tips on what I can do at home to keep working on my injuries. I strongly recommend Empowerment PT and Dr. Lin. If you want quality therapy and to be treated with compassion this is the place for you.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Lin and his staff will go above and beyond to assure you are getting the best quality care. After being in a MVA and suffering multiple fractures, it was Dr. Lin who has helped me tremendously during this recovery process and getting back to the things I love to do. Highly recommend Empowerment PT!

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Dr. Lin at Empowerment Physical Therapy for your physical therapy needs. My daughter suffered a knee injury. Prior to attending Empowerment Physical Therapy my daughter was visiting another physical therapy center. The former therapy center gave my daughter "cookie cutter" excercises with no attention to what she needed as an individual. The excercises they gave my daughter at the former therapy center rushed her through a series of excercises which ultimately made her knee worse. This set her recovery back by several weeks. Under the advice of the Orthopedic Sport Therapy Physician we had to find a replacement, fast! Upon my research for a new center, I chanced upon Empowerment Physical Therapy and Dr. Lin. Thank goodness I did! Dr. Lin is wonderful! He takes his time and really listens to my daughter. His in depth questions allowed him to create a therapy plan which is specific to her individual needs and it has made a huge difference in her recovery. Dr. Lin is passionate about his craft and it shows. He always reaches out to follow up and his staff and office are equally wonderful.

Experiencia fantástica: If you are looking to get better Empowerment P/T is the place to go. Dr. Lin and his staff are fantastic and the offices are clean and comfortable. This is real hands on P/T with a focus on healing and restoring strength and balance. I knew I was in the right place when I got a follow up phone call after my first session to see how I was feeling and asking if I had any questions. Scheduling could not be easier and Dr Lin and Jamie were always available via phone, text, or email to answer any of my questions or concerns. Overall a great experience.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been through many physical therapists and never had results like am appreciating now under the care of Shi feng Lin. His knowledge and expertise has in such a short time increased my function and decreased my pain related to back and neck issues. He is knowledgeable, professional and in each session i walk out better than i walked in. I feel so thankful for his service.

Experiencia fantástica: My Mother-in-law constantly have neck and shoulder pain when it's humid outside, and/or about to rain. Due to the pandemic, we are unable and afraid to go to any on-site PT. I recommended her over to Dr. Lin from Empowerment Physical Therapy to have a virtual consultation to see if Dr. Lin have advice on what's wrong and advice on how to make it feel better. Dr. Lin was very kind and patience explaining to her, asking her questions on how long it's been, when does it pain her, and how did she normally take care of it. After consulting, he recommended that she can buy Cuppings, and ask a family member to learn to use it and can manage her pain. Explain to her the steps of cuppings, and make sure she does not overdo it. We just got our cuppings, and start using it. She is happy that Dr. Lin was able to provide advice to help her reduce her pain, and confirm why it was so painful. My husband and I also go to Dr. Lin whenever we have pain in our body that we're not sure what to do with it. We appreciate and accept Dr. Lin's advice. Like previously, my husband's leg was tense and in pain, reached out to Dr. Lin virtually, he instructed him on where to massage, what he needs to do, what he should not do, and within a few days of doing what was advice, he was not complaining about the tense/pain anymore. When he first massage the area, he even said "that feels good, it is that area, it's already helping". I sit on the computer all day, every day, and have some neck/shoulder pain as well, I also reached out to Dr. Lin, he advice me to make sure my laptop/computer screen is eye-level, constantly get off my seat, and provided me with some simple exercise and movements to help me make my neck/shoulder feel better. He also recommended me a message item from Amazon, and I've been using it since. Our family really recommend Empowerment Physical Therapy. They are honest, experienced, and professional. It's definitely a go-to. Whenever someone tells me they have pain or needed a PT recommendation, Empowerment PT is a place I always recommend, and would reached out to Dr. Lin, and he would always welcome them and reached out to work with them.

Experiencia fantástica: I sprained my ankle at work and tore 2 ligaments. After a month of allowing the swelling and bruising to subside I started physical therapy sessions with Dr. Lin. His office is very clean with all new equipment and has a wonderful staff. Dr. Lin is extremely knowledgeable and layed out a great plan for me to overcome my injury. I am extremely pleased with his services and I highly recommend him for your road to recovery.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Lin’s practice is one of the best that I’ve been too. Always in time with appointments, no waiting periods. Always takes time to deal with whatever your problems are and focuses routines on improving problem areas. Makes doing your daily routines fun and energetic. He has an amusing personality and very knowledgeable about improvements of exercises and kinds of exercise equipments. If I could go daily to his practice, I would. Excellent Doctor, excellent practice. Caters to all needs and schedules.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Dr. Lin for physical therapy. In early August, I developed a severe aching pain in my hip, likely from overuse, as I am an avid runner. I was completely distraught that I couldn’t run my typical 5-6 mile route without sharp pain in my hip 10 minutes in. I began working with Dr. Lin when I could no longer run through the hip pain. From the first session, Dr. Lin was able to diagnose the issue and explained the recovery process, putting my mind at ease. I worked with Dr. Lin once a week for about 3 months. Dr Lin helped me understand how building core and glute strength could help put less strain on my hips. Our sessions combined techniques for loosening up tight muscles as well as strength training and stretches. I am so relieved to have found Dr. Lin at Empowerment Physical Therapy. Today I’m able to enjoy the beautiful fall running weather with no pain on the trails. Dr Lin is the best! Trust the process.

Experiencia fantástica: Shi Feng is a true professional! He was my physical therapist for 2 different injuries and I was very pleased with his services. If needed in the future, I won’t go anywhere else. He takes great care of his patients. I highly recommend him to anyone needing pt.

Experiencia fantástica: My first experience with this therapist, was with my mother. He worked with her and got her doing things she wasn't doing before. She grew stronger and confident. The second time was my own recovery, he got me back to running. He encouraged me to add water therapy to my program which I still do today. He is patience, kind, and professional. If your looking and excellent physical therapist, Shi Feng Lin is your man.
