Paspa Physical Therapy

I don’t get the great reviews. Just like any other PT place I’ve ever been to: throw you into a gym with 6 other patients at the same time, with inexperienced assistants (not the actual physical therapists) «supervising» your exercises. I put «supervising» in quotes because they are tending to so many patients at the same time you do most of your exercises without any guidance. They also ignored my preexisting knee injury that I disclosed to them and gave me exercises that made my knee hurt worse. Yes the staff is nice, but if I am going to do the exercises on my own, or ones that aggravate preexisting conditions, I might as well just go to my own gym and save the co-​pay.

A Great Place to Recover! The entire staff is extremely competent and they genuinely care about your well-​being. They willingly share their knowledge to help the patient understand their individualized treatment plan as well as clearly communicate the how’s and why’s of both your in-​office and at-​home recovery exercises. Every employee strives to help you recover from your injury, prevent future injuries and relieve any pain associated with the injury. The professional, yet friendly and personal atmosphere makes every PT session worthwhile.

Pam is amazing! I had 2 herniations in my lower back, also some tissue damage, and an SI joint that would apparently go out… and was in pain for years. Pam took the pain away in about 3 sessions, and then in a handful more sessions, created a program to stabilize the strength in my whole lower back region to prevent this happening again. I can not recommend her highly enough. And also, I teach physical/​movement work, so I am VERY particular about body work. She is wonderful!

Great care and attention, Couldn’t recommend it more. The staff are organized friendly, the atmosphere is one of well being. The Therapist’s are very knowledgeable, and have an array of state of the art, equipment. Their attention to detail and understanding of the problem is outstanding.
Thanks Graham

PASPA was referred to me by two co-​workers, and now I know why! The staff here are welcoming and friendly, and I actually looked forward to each physical therapy session (which is important when you’re coming in twice a week). They have shorts, t-​shirts, and socks you can change into, and the facilities are clean and spacious. The physical therapist I worked with was Dan and he knows his stuff. Dan is clear in explaining what he’s doing, listens to your concerns, and always makes you feel at ease. After the expected 4 – 6 weeks of sessions, I am happy to say I finally feel back to myself — and with only a $ 20 copay, I absolutely got my money’s worth!

I can’t say enough about my experience at Paspa. I broke my tib and fib a few years back and every once in a while I have a flare up and need to go back. The staff there are wonderful, professional and wise. I have been incredibly fortunate and have had Jason every time I’ve been there and can’t say enough about him. Not only is he just goddamn salt of the earth good people, he’s incredible compassionate, kind, a fabulous therapist and an excellent listener. If you need PT for anything, I really can’t recommend them highly enough.

The attentive care and support that i’ve received at Paspa Physical therapy is outstanding. Everyone from their admin support/​front desk staff to their excellent team of therapists are knowledgeable, kind, supportive, courteous, and professional.
I was fortunate to have Pam as my go to PT person 10 years ago and I’ve returned to her practice because I know that she and her team will help me return to my yoga practice with confidence after rebuilding my strength, musculature and flexibility.
Daniel is currently my main PT person and he has helped my recovery from Rotator Cuff Surgery to be a smooth and comfortable transition. Dan’s knowledge and ability to guide my recovery through this long rehab is wonderful. I also have scoliosis and Daniel’s sensitivity and awareness of how to integrate the healing of my shoulder while relieving tight muscle patterns in my scoliosis back is has relieved any pain levels I’ve experienced.

I’ve been going to Paspa PT for several months now, after orthopedic surgery. Everybody in this office is incredibly kind, friendly and respectful. They all work as a team to make sure that everybody is taken care of. I’ve never waited more than 5 minutes to be seen. The facility is super clean and spacious and my therapist Dan and all the PT aids are just wonderful and very knowledgeable people.
I was referred to them by my own surgeon from HSS and I highly recommend it to others.

I was referred to Paspa by a colleague and could not be more pleased with the choice. I came in for a torn labrum and was looking to avoid surgery and alleviate the pain. Thanks to the staff here, both have been accomplished. Everybody here is awesome. They are knowledgeable and to the point. They are genuinely enjoyable to be around and make the rehab process fun. Great experience.

Just finished PT treatment for a tear in my shoulder. I can’t say enough about Pam and her staff. They are all highly skilled, friendly and respectful of limitations and moods. (Sometimes you just don’t want to use the arm bike). They really worked hard to help my shoulder improve. Appointments are easy to get and start on time… everytime. The facility is spotless, well-​equipped and in a great location. I would recommend them to anyone looking for excellent physical therapy in mid town and would definitely use them again if I needed PT again.

I have had so many injuries and I’ve tried quite a few different places in time. I eventually picked up Paspa PT because it was the closest to where I live. It ended up the best PT experience I’ve ever had. They are caring, attentive, friendly and they try their best to take you out from your unpleasant injury mood. They are very professional at what they do and they get you there in a short period of time. I really like their equipments as well. Its a great work out as while while I am trying to strengthen my body. Totally recommended.

Arthritis of my knee made walking a chore. Thanks to the courteous and diligent attention of the professionals at Paspa, I now look forward to walking.

Excellent Physical Therapists. Kristen was my PT for a partially torn ACL (and sometimes Catelyn as well). These guys know their stuff. Kristen is an athlete and was very knowledgeable about my injured area, the knee. I felt that she put me on the right track toward my recovery by giving me the right exercises at a good, safe pace. You get a lot of personal attention — this isn’t a big crowded gym where you see your PT once in the beginning of the session and then you are off to do your routine on your own. The facility is top notch, they all modern weight training equipment and cardio machines. I felt that they genuinely cared about getting back to my activities and would certainly go back if I needed to. The front desk is great and professional too, they are all very reasonable and willing to accommodate your schedule.

I ruptured my Achilles’ this past summer and was looking for a place that had an Alter-​G treadmill to aid in the recovery. This is one of the few places in the city with such equipment and without a doubt aided in a quick recovery. I went for treatment 2 – 3 times a week for nearly 5 months and enjoyed seeing their smiles each and every single time. Just the nicest folks ever — practically family now ;) I can say they’re definitely well versed in the latest techniques (after doing much research myself) and they really do make the experience a personal one. They have maybe 4 – 5 PT’s, but do a good job matching you with the same one for every appointment.

I had ACL and meniscus surgery at HSS and came to Paspa for PT. Pam and Dan were my therapists, both were attentive, supportive, challenged me and ensured I was at the right stages throughout my recovery. The staff is very friendly and the facilities are clean. The reception takes appointments via email which I always found very convenient. I had a smooth recovery and am back to myself again! Highly recommend this place, super convenient location too!

I’ve been to several PT practices, and this is absolutely the best treatment experience I have ever had. The staff is friendly, caring and very hands-​on. I really appreciate the attention they give me when I’m going through my exercises, and it doesn’t feel overbearing or obnoxious — just that they are attentive and there to assist. From the friendly front desk staff to my therapist and the pt assistants, I’m really impressed with the staff here. Their equipment is new, well cared for, neatly organized, and everything feels very clean and sanitary. It’s really more like a well maintained gym than a medical office. They have an anti-​gravity treadmill here, isn’t that cool?
The treatment rooms are also very modern, comfortable and PRIVATE. I have had the experience at other PT practices of being evaluated and treated in the middle of a large room with other clients around, and this feels much more comfortable. I feel more comfortable my medical conditions and treatment with my therapist in a confidential setting.
There are often several other clients there during my appointments, but it never feels crowded or stressful. I have always been seen within 5 minutes of arriving, and clients move about freely, doing their exercises with staff circulating to assist and offer suggestions.
My therapist is knowledgeable about my medical conditions and is very sensitive to my pain level, understanding that it can vary a lot on different days. I find their staff to be encouraging and motivating, but also very respectful and understanding of my limits and individual goals.
I’m living with a chronic illness that will most likely need PT on and off for the foreseeable future, and this is is where I’ll be getting treatment. I’ve recommended Paspa to friends and co-​workers, and am really happy that I found them. Thanks to Paspa for really going above and beyond to create a comfortable, professional and welcoming environment for your clients.

Jason Maggard at Paspa PT is excellent. I have seen him for a number of injuries including elbow, hip, low back and neck. He has an incredible ability to explain, in plain English, the nature of an injury and how the exercises he prescribes will work to alleviate it. His explanations were crucial to my recovery, as was his tenacity in trying multiple approaches to stubborn low back pain. His cheerful disposition and optimistic attitude make PT a pleasure.
The Front Desk staff at Paspa are great. All my insurance matters were handled smoothly. However, make your appointments well in advance; appointments go fast here.
The facility itself is spotlessly clean. The exercise equipment is in excellent condition, and includes an anti-​gravity treadmill (an AlterG).

I’m currently in therapy here for labral tears in my hips and something that’s either tendinitis or a labral tear in my right shoulder. I’ve been going here for a little over a month now and my shoulder has definitely improved. Still get pain in it if I overuse it but it’s nowhere near what it was when I first started. My hips are more difficult to treat since labral tears don’t heal so I’m still working on that. However, that’s been an interesting journey at this place…
When I first went there, it was mostly for my shoulder as that was a more recent injury and was more painful at the time than my hips. They had become almost asymptomatic so I figured while treating my shoulder, it would be good to strengthen them, as well, so that I wouldn’t get pain in the future. I initially met with Gabe and saw him for a couple weeks. He recommended stretching and exercises. After the 2^nd time I went, all my symptoms I hadn’t had in ages suddenly returned. I finally couldn’t take it anymore and was very upset so I told that I didn’t want to continue with exercises on my hips. He understood and modified the plan so I could start out a bit slower. I still have pain a month later but at least it’s no worse. He then went on vacation for a couple weeks and I ended up seeing another therapist there, Jason.
To put it simply, Jason is a God-​send. After just one session with him I felt 10 times better than I had in those first few weeks. He said I should not have started doing exercises immediately because there were a lot of knots and tightness in my calves and thighs which only made the exercises hurt rather than help me. Why would the other therapist not have known this? Instead of just treating the symptoms I was having, he really looked for the cause and which areas I needed to loosen up and strengthen so it would not put so much stress on my hips. He takes the time to explain what’s happening, and makes sure you understand your injury so you can help yourself. It’s really surprising to me that he’s a PT Assistant and the other therapist is the Assistant Director! Should really be the other way around…
Anyway, I’ve only given this place 4 stars instead of 5 because of the initial bad experience I had. But since then it’s been great! If you’re considering going here, I HIGHLY recommend that you request to see Jason. He really knows what he’s doing, and definitely has helped me more than any other physical therapist I’ve seen over the past couple years (I’ve been to 4 places). Everyone else there is super nice and helpful, as well! The facility is very nice and they have a locker room, too. Highly recommended :)

My physiatrist recommended Paspa to me and I couldn’t be happier. A fantastic group of highly-​trained therapists and support staff that are truly dedicated to my well being and rehabilitation. A spacious facility with private treatment rooms, locker room, gym clothes and top of the line equipment. Convenient hours. It’s my second time doing PT with them and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend Paspa.

In May 2012 I was T-​boned by an SUV that was moving at around 60 mph while on my motorcycle. After a month and a half in the hospital I ended up at Paspa and started working with Christine. I wouldn’t be walking today if it wasn’t for Christine and everyone else at Paspa. They gave me the extra treatment time that my body needed to get moving again. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without them. Seriously. I had in patient PT at a renowned hospital in NYC and compared to Paspa it was terrible.
I know a few other people that have gone to Paspa for their PT and we all feel the same way. This place is as good as it gets. Thanks Paspa!
