Perfect Stride Physical Therapy

Experiencia fantástica: I have had the most wonderful experience at Perfect Stride! Maddi Doherty has been incredibly helpful with finding the source of my pain and how to treat it long term. I would definitely recommend coming here for PT needs!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Perfect Stride Physical Therapy is an excellent practice with personalized care and great, knowledgeable people. Vikash is awesome. After a few years of recurrent injuries and on-and-off pain in my mid-30s, I am now running and moving as well as I ever have thanks to him. Each visit is 1:1 for a full hour. Vikash is patient and agile in his approach, helping me work past minor speed bumps along the way. In addition to hands-on treatment, he has provided me exercises to continue to strengthen my body and improve my range of motion. Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Perfect stride has been a great experience for my daughter who is an avid basketball player. She tore her PCL this year as a junior and has been working her way back to playing aau. She started with Vikash who was great and due to scheduling ended up primarily with John for a several weeks, who was incredibly knowledgable, easy going and clearly understood my daughters injury and how best to treat her - as he went on leave she has since been working solely with Jean- who has gone above and beyond to ensure my daughter gets the right care, easing her back and challenging her as her knee improves. Jean has taken the time to partner with my daughter’s trainer and dr by sending progress reports and film of her to make sure they are collaborating to get my daughter back to her sport in a timely and safe manner. This is a smart and caring team! Their receptionists have also been a pleasure to work with - thanks to Austin for always helping with scheduling! Highly Recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I have had and continue to have a wonderful experience at Perfect Stride, and huge shout out to my PT, Megan Waples. Megan, is the best - I have learned a TON on how to keep my ankles strong after severe ankle injuries and have gotten much stronger since PT. Can't recommend her enough. She's awesome, and truly changed my outlook for the positive on rehab, strength training, and fitness.

Experiencia fantástica: I really love Perfect Stride, it’s always a great experience being here. Staff is very nice and attentive as well. I’ve been going here for almost ten years and they always stood out from other places because how meticulous they are.

Experiencia fantástica: I love this PT practice and travel from BK every week to see them, which really says a lot. Everyone here is fantastic and delivers on the results. I started working with Brian last year on my knees and he was phenomenal & fixed my wear & tear from weights training. I came back this year after a few bike crashes and with an injured knee. I could barely do any squats / weights at the time and Angus fixed me after two months of PT! He’s knowledgeable, patient and so fun to work with. We’ve been making progress so quickly that honestly I look forward to each session. He also has an ongoing email thread with my trainer & they develop my recovery plan together every week based on my progress and goals - I love the patient centric approach!! I’m now fully back to my previous training level and have continued to work on my neck with Angus. This is the team you want to have in your corner. They get booked up very quickly so make sure you book two weeks ahead for the most desired slots!

Experiencia fantástica: I have a hip imbalance issue and worked with Maddi Doherty to improve this. She has been great. She listens to what I have seen happen between sessions and incorporates my feedback in her plan. I would definitely recommend Perfect Stride and Maddi to others.

Experiencia fantástica: I have loved working with Maddi! I came in a few months ago with knee pain that left me barely able to run more than a few miles, and with Maddi's support, I was able to run the marathon and reach my time goal. She helped me modify my training plan and was patient, supportive, understanding, reassuring and knowledgeable. Maddi is the best!

Experiencia fantástica: Perfect Stride has been an amazing place to continue my recovery process. After working with a different PT practice, I became frustrated with the lack of individual support and attention to how I was feeling, however, none of this is an issue at Perfect Stride. I have worked with Maddi for the past few months and couldn’t be happier with how attentive she is and dedicated to getting me back to full strength. The one on one appointments mean I always have time to explain how I am feeling and allow us to put together a full plan of attack. I came in with a few different issues and Maddi has really helped combat everything together and go after the root causes, not just surface level fixes. Maddi and Perfect Stride has given me confidence that I can return stronger and healthier than before and I really appreciate everything they have done for me!

Experiencia fantástica: My experience with the Perfect Stride physical therapy has been wonderful. First, I had Jean and she was great. Then, Megan for a short term and she was good. Now, I have Maddie. Maddie is very professional, attentive to what I say, gives great feedback, explains the exercises well, clear and direct when she talks, patient, understanding, compassionate, great treatment plans and fun. I’m very grateful for Maddie. She’s an amazing physical therapist.

Experiencia fantástica: Great treatment from knowledgeable staff! I would recommend Perfect Stride to anyone looking for help recovering or rehabilitating an injury, especially for sports. The therapists here do an amazing job working with patients to understand their goals! As much as I hope I don’t have a reason to in the future - I will definitely return if I have another injury in the future. After having pain in my left shin/ankle this summer after running, I visited Perfect Stride at the suggestion of another PT I know personally. Vikash helped rule out a stress fracture/reaction through a referral to an Orthopedist, and has helped me recover from there. Every session has been 1-1 with him for the full duration, handling mobilization, stretching, exercising, coaching, and more. I’m slated to run the NYC marathon in a month, and it’s due to the work done at Perfect Stride that I’m able to! The treatment and coaching/info that I’ve received is aimed at healing my current injury and preventing further ones, restoring me with the confidence to run and cross train effectively again.

Experiencia fantástica: Couldn’t recommend PerfectStride more. I’ve worked with two of their PTs while recovering from an injury and training for a marathon. Both were extremely knowledgeable and very attentive!

Experiencia fantástica: Perfect Stride worked wonders for me! I went in having neck and lower back pain, and hadn’t been active for about 9 months. I was used to living an active lifestyle, and played basketball fairly competitively but hadn’t been able to do so because of injuries. Not only did Megan and Vikash alleviate the discomfort in my neck and back, but they got me back onto the court and living an active lifestyle again. I’m not exaggerating when I say my hips and overall body feels better now than it did when I was 24/25 (I’m 31 now). With just a few simple stretches and exercises my hips loosened up, and I don’t have anymore hamstring issues. And there is still plenty of room for me to improve. I cannot recommend the Perfect Stride team enough!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had a great experience here. The staff is knowledgeable and helped me manage a tricky chronic injury. The PTs spend the entire session with you here unlike other operations where you see them for 10 minutes at the beginning and then they pass you off. I’d highly recommend Perfect Stride for anyone looking to make it back from a leg injury.

Experiencia fantástica: Easily the best physical therapy clinic I've gone to and I highly recommend it to anyone. I've been working with Vikash on a shoulder injury, and it's clear that his understanding/knowledge is of the top level. He's the first PT I've had that has stretched and massaged my shoulder to open up more and better do the exercises. It's great that the therapist works with you for the entire hour and you get focused 1:1 attention. My recovery has been going well, with a good balance of challenge and incremental progression.

Experiencia fantástica: I love Perfect Stride. I'm a 30+ year old man. I like to lift weights and I bicycle. Vikash has helped me with a number of issues with weight lifting, such as a long-term knee issue that as preventing me from squatting, to urgent issues such as pulling my back while deadlifting. At one point, I was having so much shoulder pain that I couldn't benchpress, but I'm close to benching 225lbs comfortably now thanks to Vikash. I've had many physical therapists in my life, and I can confidently say choosing Perfect Stride was a great choice and Vikash is the best PT I've had.

Experiencia fantástica: brian is the best physical therapist i've ever worked with ! i had a hip condition that left me with constant pain for many months. i'd seen a few different physical therapists, with only minimal relief and no one could really tell me exactly how to address my hip pain, and sometimes i was given exercises that made the pain worse. then i came to perfect stride and worked with brian, who listened attentively and had expert insights into the way my body was working. he asked the right questions and gave me exercises that got right to the problems i was having, and i have had zero hip pain since working with him. THANKS BRIAN !! :)

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a fan and promoter of Perfect Stride for various reasons for some time. Most recently I saw Vikash for a shoulder injury and in one session the relief I felt was immediate. Vikash is super encouraging about my overall exercise routine and my shoulder continues to improve following the exercises and videos he explained to me. I highly recommend Perfect Stride to anyone who needs some kind of extra care to fix their body. The therapists are amazing in their expertise and kindness. It's a nice space, too.

Experiencia fantástica: I have had and continue to have a wonderful experience at Perfect Stride, and huge shout out to my PT, Megan Waples. Megan, is the best - I have learned a TON on how to keep my ankles strong after severe ankle injuries and have gotten much stronger since PT. Can't recommend her enough. She's awesome, and truly changed my outlook for the positive on rehab, strength training, and fitness.

Experiencia fantástica: If you’re looking for one on one sessions, a therapist who actually listens to you and your body, Perfect Stride is your place! I’ve been to a few different therapy places, even had a doctor threaten a steroid injection without even considering other options. With Jean and the Perfect Stride team things are beginning to look up. Literally! I’m so thankful to be able to turn my neck left and right without having to use my shoulders!

Experiencia fantástica: I’m so happy I discovered Perfect Stride. It is a great, clean, light space. The staff are very helpful and I was able to get my first appointment quickly. Vikash is an excellent therapist and he is with me for a whole hour. Along with the home exercises he gives me I have quickly seen improvement in my ankles. I would highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: I really loved my experience at Perfect Stride. I worked with Vikash on a persistent ankle issue. He explained the whys of everything we were doing and how I got to this point. Being a very why oriented person, this was extremely helpful to me. He gave me easy exercises that I could continue doing at home or work and even followed up writing them all out for me so I wouldn’t forget what he showed me. My ankle has been feeling great since. Highly recommend a visit here!

Experiencia fantástica: Life Changing. Perfect Stride is the best Physical Therapy center in NY. I say that because over the past eight years I've been injured in 4 work-place accidents, and one street accident. I've been treated at a total of six different physical therapy centers across New York City, including the well-known one that begins with a S and ends in a R. Not one of those places comes close to Perfect Stride. When I found Perfect Stride my initial communications were with Austin. His graciousness was the first indication I'd found an exceptional place. The reason why Perfect Stride is extraordinary is not only because of their incredibly skilled physical therapists, it's also because of their blueprint on how to treat patients. By design, they set you up for success. One therapist works with one patient at a time, for the entire session. You have the undivided attention of your therapist, who really gets to know your individual issues. You're treated as the unique person that you are, with your body's unique challenges to recovery. I had the amazing Brian as my physical therapist. He's a true healer. Brian treated me for three separate injuries, including a foot injury. After a bad foot surgery performed by an unscrupulous podiatrist, my prognosis was not good. Brian got me to a level of recovery neither I nor my new doctor thought possible. And he did it in an enjoyable way. I left every session stronger, improved and better informed. Brian happily answered all of my questions. He always tailored at-home exercises for me. Of course every injury, body and situation is different. But I know without Brian I would not be where I am now. I'm very grateful for that. To anyone in need physical therapy, I highly recommend Perfect Stride.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience at Perfect Stride. After injuring my elbow several months ago, I finally came in and worked with Brian to rehab it. I received exceptional quality of care and a comprehensive, personalized training program to help me get back on track. Thanks to Perfect Stride and Brian, I'm able to train without pain or discomfort again. Highly recommend it.

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot recommend Perfect Stride enough. I started PT ever since my foot surgery and have made such big improvement thanks to the excellent care from Jean. I’ve never had such an enjoyable, friendly PT quite like Jean. She has gone above and beyond — she is knowledgeable on my surgery, attentive of my needs and overall provides thorough training. Going to PT is something I look forward to and I have to thank Jean for that. The whole team is wonderful and this is a one stop shop for all PT needs. Thank you Jean and team for everything you do!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing place for physiotherapy!! I came for chronic pain/stiffness and after my time in Perfect Stride PT, I feel so much better and most importantly, I have the tools to continue with my PT journey by myself! The staff is super flexible and welcoming. The space is big and clean. 10/10 experience - I wish I came to Perfect Stride earlier!!! Big shoutout to Megan - she's so kind, supportive, professional, and knowledgeable! I always felt so good after my sessions and always looked forward to the next ones!

Experiencia fantástica: Because of a knee problem, I went to Perfect Stride on the recommendation of my son, who has been a patient there for a few years. Perfect Stride and Vikash, my therapist, exceeded my attention. He listened well, was thorough in his assessment, clear in explaining exercises I needed to do, and always available by email if I had questions or concerns after my visit. I will probably have to continue PT with Perfect Stride for a number of weeks, until my knee is restored, and I will go with confidence that I will receive expert, individualized, empathetic care.

Experiencia fantástica: About five years ago, a friend recommended Perfect Stride for rehab of a running injury--"They're geniuses," she said, & Perfect Stride has not disappointed. In an atmosphere of care, humor, respect, & deep knowledge of how a body works & heals, Perfect Stride has seen me through several injuries since, & opened possibilities for free movement I wouldn't have imagined. I've looked forward to every session & learned so much. Hope they're spreading wisdom & healing from Union Square for many years to come.

Experiencia fantástica: I started going to Perfect Stride after tearing my meniscus and getting surgery. Thanks to wonderful team I was able to fully recover and run the NYC marathon less than 5 months after getting surgery. They not only coached me through all the regular PT stuff, but paid special attention to making sure I could find new ways to stay active and healthy throughout my recovery. I not only feel way better than when I started PT, but have a way better understanding of how to train better, stay strong, and make sure I reduce injury risk moving forward. I can't thank them enough and have already recommended them many friends and family in NYC!

Experiencia fantástica: I love this place! I had been to other PT offices in the past, and they never really seemed to help. Perfect Stride has been nothing but helpful! Brian and Jenny are AMAZING, not only in stretching and training with me in-session, but also in teaching me exercises that I can easily do at home. They're also fun to talk to, and they really make the hour-long sessions fly by! In addition, everyone is so friendly and welcoming, I always feel incredibly comfortable here and in any conversations via email or phone! And whenever I have an issue and need help rescheduling an appointment, either Austin or Samantha at the front desk help me with such grace and kindness. Seriously, you will not find an organization that does a better top-to-bottom job than Perfect Stride!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I've learned many new exercises, stretches, and ideas for how to deal with my running injuries since I started PT at Perfect Stride in October 2021. I've been running throughout the experience and have been improving since I began. I recommend their PT for its high quality specialist approach, relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, and frequent communication about everything from the finer points of exercise positions (via email at times) to billing and scheduling.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience with Perfect Stride has been amazing and transforming. When I came to Perfect stride, I was incapable of walking more than two blocks due to arthritis in my knees. After a few weeks of treatment, I was walking 20 blocks. The staff possesses a solid knowledge of all aspects of physical therapy. They are up to date on the science, friendly, and holistic. You will not be treated as if you are on a conveyor belt.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been working with Megan at Perfect Stride for a few months now and highly recommend her and this PT practice. Not only have I felt real relief from my sciatica symptoms, but Megan has shown me great care and personal attention throughout the process. I appreciate that Perfect Stride provides one-on-one treatment for the length of the session, with therapists who are responsive to your needs both at and outside of therapy. Again, I highly recommend Perfect Stride.

Experiencia fantástica: The team at Perfect Stride is truly unmatched! I have been working with Megan since November following a bad car accident and she is incredibly knowledgeable and kind. She listens to concerns carefully and tailors the treatment accordingly. She keeps daily and long-term goals in mind at every session. She incorporates a perfect balance of manual work and exercises that target specific areas. She’s also just a super cool and sweet person! Without fail, I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. Huge shoutout to the other staff as well! The energy in the space is always positive and a joy to be in. Office manager, Austin, is quick to respond and so helpful with any paperwork, referrals, etc necessary for treatment. Thank you so much to the whole team at Perfect Stride!

Experiencia fantástica: Perfect Stride is such a great place for physical therapy care! Not only is the facility equipped with a super friendly and knowledgeable staff but the environment is welcoming and up to date. The care I received from Megan was so helpful and enlightening. I went for preventative care for work and she did just that! She showed me wonderful ways to avoid injury that I can use for years to come. I also learned a ton about my body. Megan is amazing! Our sessions were always so fun and productive. I highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: After months of attending Perfect Stride, my knee mobility improved tenfold, and Vikash was such a fantastic PT. My orthopedic doctor who treated me with a PRP shot recommended me to Perfect Stride after seeing a PT who did nothing to properly treat my knee pain from a ruptured tendon. I was frustrated, and my fitness was declining after years of being a runner. Not to mention, my legs became disproportionate, one lacking way more muscle than the other. After a few months at PS, I no longer felt the pain or discomfort I had initially arrived with. My PT steadily but progressively gave me the right workouts that challenged me just enough to go to the next level. By the end of my treatment, I was finally able to run again after over 6 months of being stagnant. I’m now proud to train for my second half-marathon! The staff is also very friendly and I felt really good being there. I highly recommend Perfect Stride.

Experiencia fantástica: I have had an excellent experience at Perfect Stride following foot surgery. It’s a well organized practice and a friendly and comfortable environment. Megan is an outstanding therapist. She is thorough, great at identifying key issues and explaining things thoroughly, and follows up continuously. I highly recommend her and Perfect Stride.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been to many PT in the past for various issues. Perfect Stride is definitely one of the best PT out there. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Megan and Brian are both great. They were patient when performing evaluation for my neck issue and correctly diagnosed that it was due to the tightness in my thoracic spine. Whenever I had challenges with a particular exercise, they would break it down into simpler movements for me to make progress gradually. Their manual therapy alleviated my soreness and tightness immediately. I always felt good after a PT session with them. Overall, I would highly recommend Perfect Stride.

Experiencia fantástica: Perfect Stride has been such a huge help in my recovery process! I came in with hip pain after several unsuccessful procedures and through diligent care I’m now able to work out with minimal pain and have learned healthier ways to work out to remain pain free. Beyond physical recovery, the therapists at Perfect Stride are amazing and so kind. I can’t recommend it enough!

Experiencia fantástica: If I could give Perfect Stride 6 stars I would, I can't recommend them highly enough! First of all, the atmosphere at Perfect Stride is always positive and friendly which I appreciate so much as someone who goes to PT multiple times a week. I have been working with Megan for over a year now and she has helped me heal and get stronger physically but also mentally in the face of multiple injuries. She is knowledgable and up-to-date on the literature and takes the time to explain things to ensure you always feel informed and empowered in your recovery journey. She does an incredible job tailoring care to you and your goals and coming up with a comprehensive game plan for care, all while being personable and encouraging every step of the way. Thanks to her I have been able to go from being afraid to walk due to knee pain to running several times a week comfortably and confidently again. I truly feel I am in the best of hands at Perfect Stride!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been to other PT practices and none are as knowledgable, effective, and caring as Perfect Stride! I have been working with Megan for a few months and highly recommend her and this PT practice. She has not only retaught me how to walk/ run after my ankle surgery, but improved it from before! Perfect Stride provides one on one treatment and their care makes the hour long sessions fly by! Megan's personal attention to care as well as her ability to balance getting down to business with easy conversation has been unmatched in my recovery journey. I'm now hiking mountains I would have never expected to be able to do again! I highly recommend Perfect Stride Physical Therapy!

Experiencia fantástica: Had debilitating knee and feet issues, and the sessions helped greatly. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill PT sessions with the usual “rote” or stock exercises, these are highly personalized 1-on-1 sessions, with a very different philosophy and very different exercises. Brian M. was my physical therapist, and he was very attentive and professional and took my medical history into account to customize my treatment, and he provided excellent care. I learned about this place from my siblings, who also had great results. In short, I highly recommend this place!

Experiencia fantástica: Perfect Stride is by far the best physical therapy experience I've ever had. It's rare to find a place that gives you 1-on-1 attention for the entire session. Brian is compassionate, positive, knowledgeable, friendly, and has excellent attention to detail. He customized the sessions and rehabilitation based on my body type and workout goals. Most importantly, he supplied me with a routine and the knowledge I need to stay injury-free post-PT.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been to Perfect Stride on three different occasions and each time I have had quick recoveries. It's all thanks to Vikash. He is magical - whatever pain I had, he fixed me and educated me along the way so that I understand how to maximize my exercises. His approach is thoughtful and customized and I would recommend him to anyone who needs physical therapy!

Experiencia fantástica: My experience at Perfect Stride is extremely positive, professional, and dynamic. I have problems with my knees and my back. Joseph is always patient and understanding. He helps me so much to understand how I can improve my mobility with simple exercises and explanations. Even in a virtual environment, his exercises are easy to follow and I feel better after. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Brian and the entire Perfect Stride team are truly miracle workers. I hyperextended my knee 10 days before my wedding. After a few visits, and following their daily exercise routine, they got me walking down the aisle, and even on the dance floor. I continued working with Brian and looked forward to each visit. It's a strange feeling...of course you never want to have to go to PT, but I now find myself missing it. I cannot recommend Perfect Stride enough and hoping that I do (or don't) see them again soon!

Experiencia fantástica: I could not have better things to say about Perfect Stride. I have gone to many other PTs in years past, and Perfect Stride was far & away the best experience I’ve had. I worked with Vikash, who created a very personalized plan for me and we worked directly 1:1 for a little over 6 months on my knee pain. Vikash is kind, smart, he pays attention to detail & he was always very responsive on off weeks or if I had questions on my at-home routine. At other Physical Therapy places I’ve gone to in previous years, they would have someone speak to me in the first 10 minutes of the session, and then have other people at the facility work with me on exercises. At Perfect Stride, I received 1:1 support from Vikash the full hour I was there. I cannot recommend Perfect Stride enough!

Experiencia fantástica: I've seen a lot of physical therapists for some nerve pain I've been dealing with for years - it wasn't until coming here and seeing Brian that I made any progress. He was knowledgeable, patient, and a spectacular troubleshooter for my persistent problems. I'm back to running consistently thanks to him, which I was starting to think might not be possible. Perfect Stride was easily the best physical therapy experience I've had, and I can't recommend them enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Perfect Stride is by far the best PT clinic I’ve ever worked with. They truly take the time to listen and understand your situation. What really makes them special is their ability to adapt your treatment based on how you feel between sessions, showing they are truly a patient-focused operation. I can’t recommend PS highly enough—The Very Best!

Experiencia fantástica: I would rate the Perfect Stride PT team higher than 5 stars if I could. As a professional runner that struggled with injuries for about 3 years, I can honestly say meeting Vikash and the Perfect Stride team has been a game-changer in my career. After years of stress fractures, pulls, and the issues caused by compensated running due to injuries/imbalances, I accepted that I couldn’t get healthy alone: I needed a hands on team that I could work with 1-on-1. I worked with many different groups in the city, but noticed how many places work with multiple clients at once or give the same basic movements, with little hands-on-PT work. I met Vikash and the Perfect Stride PT group and it clicked instantly. Their knowledge is impressive and I feel I learn something new every time I have an appointment, since they think outside of the box and are constantly working to learn more about their craft. The full hour of treatment is devoted to you, alone: first 30 minutes is hands-on work and next 30 minutes is active work to rehabilitate areas. They recognize that the body is a system and they take a multifaceted approach to get down to the root of underlying mechanical issues, rather than treat merely the area with an issue: it’s about addressing the cause, not just the pain. Now that I am running healthy with their help, I still have weekly check ups to make sure I’m doing the proper prehab, and not just rehab. I could go on and on about this group, but I recommend you check them out yourself.

Experiencia fantástica: The team at Perfect Stride has been invaluable to my recovery from two hip arthroscopies that I had in a span of 4 months. I have been working with Vikash for the past year and a half and with his help I went from barely being able to walk to running again and preparing for a 10 mile race. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and attentive. He personalizes every treatment plan and is always happy to communicate with me in between appointments if there are questions or concerns. The office manager, Austin, and the entire team is very responsive and fun to talk to, which I found to lift my spirits and motivation throughout my recovery process. I am so grateful for their help and would highly recommend Perfect Stride to anyone looking for quality PT, you will absolutely be in the best hands.
