Spear Physical Therapy's Online Review Report Card

A Life-Changing Experience. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Sydney and the Team at Spear. After living with chronic hip and lower back pain for over a decade, stemming from a track and field injury; I finally found lasting relief, thanks to Dr. Sydney and the outstanding team at Spear on 5th in BK. From my very first visit, Dr. Sydney demonstrated an exceptional level of care, professionalism, and clinical expertise that immediately set this experience apart from any physical therapy I had received before. She conducted a thorough assessment and took the time to explain the underlying causes of my pain, ensuring I understood not only what we were doing, but why. That clarity gave me confidence and helped me stay committed to the process. Dr. Sydney developed a personalized rehabilitation plan tailored to my needs and goals. The program was delivered through an easy-to-use app with detailed videos, which made it simple to stay consistent and build effective movement habits. As I progressed, she thoughtfully adjusted the exercises to reflect my improvements, always checking in to address any concerns or discomfort with precise modifications. The transformation has been remarkable. As of July 16, 2025, I’ve completed my rehab and feel better than I have in years. My posture, balance, strength, and hip mobility have improved dramatically—results I had not achieved despite trying multiple physical therapy clinics across NYC. What truly sets this practice apart, beyond Dr. Sydney’s expertise, is all the people that work at that location. Every staff member, from the front desk, the PT assistants and other Physical therapist are warm, professional, and genuinely dedicated to patient care. The facility itself is spotless, calming, and well-organized, making each visit something to look forward to rather than dread. If you're struggling with pain or mobility issues, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Sydney and the team at Spear. Their holistic, patient-centered approach changed my life and I’m confident it can change yours too. Thanks again everyone, Sincerely Cherby.

Kathleen was my therapist and have nothing but the best experience with spear. The staff all was very helpful and Kathleen was so understanding and patient with me my neck pain is so much better. Thank you for helping me.

I worked with Soja Moore for a few months to figure out some pretty terrible back pain. I went from "I can't walk for more than half an hour without my back seizing up" to noticing it once every other week or so, and knowing how to fix it when it came up. And Soja's energy was great, coming in was always a high point in my day. Can't recommend highly enough!

Not Liza’s patient but she saw me limping and I told her my troubles and she helped me I now see the wonders of physical therapy 🙂#foreverchanges

It was a great & rewarding experience for me, especially not being able to walk into the office but was greeted by the receptionist which was very supportive. I was assigned to work with Khushali Shah, Physical Therapist; it was indeed a rewarding experience where she went immediately to work on my spine. This of course helped me to a road to recovery with her knowledge & expertise of Therapy; I am truly thankful & grateful for her compassion & her skills. An asset to Spear of such greatness.

My experience at the park slope location was outstanding! Aashika, my assigned physical therapist was very attentive and concerned about my designated treatment. a family atmosphere was created and maintained throughout my stay there. I thank everyone there for their professionalism. definitely would recommend their services.

Great experience rehabbing from my ACL surgery at Spear in Park Slope under the guidance of Shreya Shah. T-minus 4.5 months until the Philly Half!

Aakanksha was excellent and helped me recover fully! Highly recommend this place

I worked with PT Shrusti and team (usually the wonderful Jerrell, Emma, and Imani) on a successful treatment of frozen shoulder. Shrusti is a gifted and compassionate therapist, great at explaining injury and recovery; anatomical concepts; and the role of neural retraining alongside strengthening and physical healing. I had delayed starting PT, but made immediate and steady progress after starting therapy with her. I also appreciated the good vibes in the clinic--the friendship among the staff, and their openness to having a little fun with clients, made the therapy sessions enjoyable. As is typical for Spear, in a session, Shrusti would be seeing more than 1 patient in overlapping sessions; the assistants on the team set up and demonstrate exercises according to her instruction. These folks were uniformly patient and encouraging, and I always felt I was in good hands, with expert supervision.

My experience at Spear was nothing short of amazing. The entire staff was warm and encouraging each session. Thanks to them my knee is in a better condition! Special shout out to my main PT, Sydney, who pushed me to my limit every session but always checked in to ensure I was comfortable with each exercise. Honorary mention to Khushali, Shawn, Soja, and a few others that I can’t recall.
