Carlos Arroyo Physical Therapy

I developed IT Band Tendonitis which I had heard from many sources to be incurable; only able to be tolerated with pain meds. I went to Mr. Arroyo and after the first 30 minute therapy session I felt substantial relief. It took only 2 more office visits for me to be completely free of any pain whatsoever. This tendonitis had gravely impacted my life and affected me at work, too. I am still pain free almost one year later!
He also tremendously helped my friend, a prominent medical doctor, to relieve her severe back pain almost immediately. I also sent a work colleague to him to treat «untreatable» sciatica — pain completely gone!
He is warm, caring and truly gifted at what he does. His office and treatment area are beautiful and immaculate. He was able to take insurance in all 3 cases.
NO MORE PAIN — PRICELESS!

In Feb 2011 I was in a ski accident and injured my left knee. My knee swelled up and I couldn’t straighten the leg, nor bend it, walk on it, etc. After visiting a bunch of doctors and Physical Therapists, plus looking online, I found myself with conflicting information about my injury and how to treat it. Some medical professionals insisted on surgery, and immediately. Other suggested surgery sometime within a few months to a year. One doctor told me I’d be crippled without surgery and unable to walk again or have a normal life. It was tough to ascertain which was the best treatment. An acquaintance recommended that I meet with Carlos Arroyo PT and get his opinion. Upon my arrival, I found that he was extremely knowledgeable and put me at ease right away. He strongly recommended that I avoid surgery. Although there was a lack of clarity about the best course of action, I ultimately opted for physical therapy and a few months later I am roughly 90% recovered. Carlos Arroyo definitely was very supportive and helped me find the best way to treat my damaged knee and ligaments, and I’m fairly certain if I had gone under the knife I’d still be in recovery and maybe not doing as well as I am right now. I’m truly grateful for the treatment I received here and would enthusiastically recommend that anyone with a knee, ligament, or joint injury go straight away to Carlos Arroyo PT! To be honest, I found Carlos to be much more knowledgeable than the doctors I spoke with, and he has an amazing «bedside manner» compared to the physicians I met with. Don’t go anywhere else if you live in NYC and have a similar injury!
