Emh Physical Therapy

My son, who is a High School baseball pitcher, was referred to EMH by his orthopedist due to lower back pain which was affecting his ability to pitch. I cannot praise Kirsten Hober of EMH enough for how she helped my son. By improving my son’s leg balance, flexibility and strength, Kirsten not only eliminated his discomfort but also has enhanced his pitching by increasing his stride and velocity. My son is now poised to have great success pitching in his senior year in High School and then in college.
Many thanks to Kirsten and EMH.

Due to years of daily bicycling, my body, without my realizing it, had eventually so contorted itself as to make the daily voiding process extremely uncomfortable and ridiculously worrisome. No matter how much fiber I binged on, nothing improved. I was referred by my gastroenterologist to Emh. At my initial diagnostic session, Kirsten Hober, a UCSF-​trained dr of physical therapy, in just a few minutes of testing, figured out the cause and provided a possible solution. Bulls-​eye! Life-​changing remedy! thank you, Kirsten. I could not have been happier with every aspect of how I was treated for that problem, as well as for several other painful dysfunctions caused by prolonged cycling. The other staff members I have met have been gracious and efficient.

EMH physical therapy changed my life. After the birth of my daughter, I had awful low back pain, abdominal cramping and urinary incontinence. It was so bad I was having trouble taking care of my child and just felt like such a wreck. A friend of mine told me to see the therapists at EMH, so I gave them a try. Right away the front desk staff was so welcoming and helpful. They contacted my insurance company to find out my benefits and they helped me get an in network exception to get the cost of treatment covered. Then, I met my therapist Kirsten. She was so sweet, professional and empathetic. She didn’t rush me even when I was getting emotional telling her about how upset all my symptoms had made me become. I’m still currently in treatment, but its been about 4 weeks and already my life has changed for the better. I’m able to care for my daughter and be the mom I want to be because Kirsten taught me how to get stronger and what exercises where the best to get rid of my pain. I highly recommend EMH PT to any new mother who needs some extra help!

Have been visiting EMH for treatment of a neck injury for the past few months. Sarah is wonderful – knowledgable, flexible in her approach, extremely capable, and the right mix of personable and professional. She explains what she is doing, and why it will be helpful, in order to allow you to create a regimen to use on your own. The other therapists there also demonstrate great, helpful personalities and treatment styles. Cindy is an extremely accommodating, wonderful person to have as their liaison with patients, insurance companies, and the like– she makes people feel welcome, helps to clarify planning, and creates a great environment. Scheduling is very easy and the overall vibe is very low-​key. My improvement since seeking treatment there has been dramatic.

I had severe pelvic pain spasms and a chronic history of UTIs of over 5 years. I had been to countless urologists, pelvic specialists, and been on medications without any relief. I was feeling hopeless until a Physical Therapist friend informed me of Pelvic Physical Therapy as an option. I went to EMH and was welcomed with open arms. Their Doctors of Physical Therapy educated me on ways they could help me and ultimately have the tools to manage my condition independently.
I stuck to my exercises, followed their advice, and noticed a world of difference after just 8 visits. Kirsten, my PT, was extremely knowledgeable and empathetic toward me from start to finish. Cindy and Christina at the front desk were very helpful in flexibility with the scheduling and getting my insurance to cover my treatment. Overall, fantastic PTs and service at EMH, and I would recommend to anyone with Pelvic Pain or Dysfunction.

This Physical Therapy facility is one of the best run I have ever seen or been to. As a physical therapist myself and an owner of my own private practice, I chose EMH physical therapy to rehabilitate me from a severe pelvic injury I sustained while pregnant. I am currently a patient there. Not only am I almost fully recovered but I will be forever grateful for their kindness, flexibility, and professionalism. I want to especially thank my PT Mary for always being so supportive, giving me extra help as needed, and being an overall excellent clinician. I highly recommend this facility.

Really lovely, kind people who helped me! They absolutely had my best interests at heard and I am so happy to have gone to them!

EMH is a great PT office. I’ve been to a couple over the years and EMH is one of the most professional. For every appointment you receive one on one care with a therapist and I must recommend Sumer very highly– she is very skilled, warm and compassionate, all great traits for a PT.
I would have to add that Cindy at the front desk is a total babe and aside for being a great person, was always very on top of scheduling and frequently was able to work out flexibility with my schedule. EMH all DAY!

EMH is a fantastic place for physical therapy. My PT in Boston highly recommended this place when I moved to New York, and I’m so glad I decided to listen to her advice and sign up. My PT, Summer, was extremely caring, friendly, and professional. She explained everything in great detail throughout the process (including through the use of muscle diagrams and plastic models), so I always felt in control of my own care and like a full participant in the healing process. From day one, she began teaching me stretches and exercises to do on my own at home, and the EMH facility even has a small but cheerful gym with mats, foam rollers, treadmills, etc so you can learn the exercises and practice them right there with your therapist. The PT rooms are clean and relaxing, and the receptionists were always very helpful in scheduling appointments on short notice, calling with appointment reminders, and helping prepare reciepts for my insurance company. I had a terrific experience with EMH.

Avoid. unprofessional and irrational front desk and billing staff, silly PT techniques, terrible location, and the owner doesn’t care about the people like us who go there for care. There are so many other great PT places in NY who take insurance, are centrally located, will come to the phone and talk to you and will work with you if they are out of network, EMH is non of these. This place is so bad one of the PT’s told me she would work with me privately on the weekends which is illegal, steeling business from the owner and she does poor PT so I wouldn’t want it anyway.

Evelyn, the head of the company met with me to review therapy options but after that first meeting we never spoke again, which would have been helpful considering my rehab was progressing poorly, and based on my diagnosis, I feel I should have had much more positive results. I’m sure the therapist assigned me had good intentions, but I felt a routine was never established, and would have appreciated if she didn’t look at her watch quite so much. I would weigh all options.
