Recovery Physical Therapy Services
Recovery Physical Therapy (RPT) offers a full range of rehabilitation services and programs for patients experiencing disability due to a wide variety of physical conditions. Our centers are equipped to facilitate the highest level of reconditioning while shortening the recovery process.
We treat patients of all ages and backgrounds; from professional athletes with sports-related injuries to elders who’ve been injured in a fall. In all cases, our mission is to provide expert, cost effective care that results in full recovery and fulfillment of all treatment goals.
The Recovery Physical Therapy Treatment Process
Our physical therapists use a wide variety of treatment techniques and therapeutic modalities to thoroughly rehabilitate orthopedic and sports-related injuries. Therapeutic exercise consists of a broad range of activities that are designed to improve strength, range of motion (ROM), flexibility and cardiovascular fitness; collectively increasing a patient’s functional capacity for activities of daily living (ADL), work and athletic participation.
Advanced Biodex Systems
RPT is one of the first and only physical therapy companies in the NYC area to offer it's patients the advanced capabilities of the Biodex System 4 Pro and Biodex Balance System SD. Both systems are now in use at our Grand Central location.
Biodex systems test and measure balance, stability, strength, flexibility, range of motion, and other key metrics. The precise data and advanced reporting offered by these systems gives us a new level of insight into the course of a patient's treatment. While broadly applicable to almost all treatment scenarios, the Biodex systems are particularly helpful in the following cases:
- Injury prevention
- Testing and training to prevent slips, falls, and injuries
- Pre-season screenings for athletes
- Athletic performance enhancement
- Concussion management.

Therapeutic Modalities
Therapeutic modalities may involve a simple technique like applying ice (cryotherapy) for an acute injury or more complex modalities like cold lasers to reduce pain and swelling. Therapeutic modalities, when appropriately applied to the patient, are a useful adjunct to therapeutic exercise in the rehabilitation of orthopedic injuries. The orthopedic/sports therapist makes decisions regarding what type of modality, as well as when and how to best apply the modality based on theoretical knowledge and clinical experience.
Manual Therapeutic Techniques
Recovery Physical Therapy’s licensed clinicians use a variety of manual techniques to relieve pain, increase range of motion (ROM), build strength, improve circulation and increase a patient’s overall mobility.
Strength Training Techniques
Developing muscle strength (the ability to generate force against some resistance), endurance (the ability to perform muscle contractions for an extended period of time), and power (a large amount of force generated quickly) is critical to the success of any good training and conditioning program for athletes and is also essential to restoring the functional capacity of patients, both athletes and non-athletes, in a rehabilitation program following an injury.
