Spear Physical Therapy

I spent many months in physical therapy at this Spear location and had a really steady and strong recovery as well as an overall great experience with the physical therapist Vedika Botadra, as well as Rena and Disha. I can highly recommend working with these folks: they're patient, kind, and genuinely invested in your recovery and care. Keep up the great work!

My tennis elbow is now pain free due to the fantastic therapy I received from Disha Kapoor at Spear. I’m now back to playing tennis and have the tools to keep the tendinitis from returning. I couldn’t be happier.

This review is for the Spear office on Clark St. in Brooklyn near the Promenade. I've been treated here numerous times for a variety of conditions (I have problems with my joints). The physical therapists and assistants are very friendly and knowledgeable. My only complaint is that their business model is to overbook, which forces the therapists to tend to two or even three patients at the same time, jumping from one to the other and using the assistants to cover the slack. Nobody, not even the most experienced therapist, can manage this kind of excess without losing their train of thought or forgetting to address something. It's not possible to take care of two patients at exactly the same time, but the therapists give it their best shot.

A most experienced Physical Therapist at this location, Disha Kapoor, quickly and carefully corrected my BPPV vertigo and then proceeded to prescribe and teach me exercises to build back my balance. I thank her and believe she is extremely skilled, drawing upon neuroplasticity, in restoring functions necessary to move correctly and safely.

Zinel and team were awesome! I started at Spear Brooklyn Heights back in February for neck pain and discomfort. Zinel and her team had me feeling infinitely better after just 10 weeks and gave me the tools needed to continue improving and exercising after being discharged. I’d recommend Spear, and specifically Zinel, to anyone in need of physical therapy.

My therapist, Vedika, is excellent. She takes her time with me and make sure I do the exercises properly. I have a back injury and she takes about 15 to 20 minutes each time to massage the tightness of the muscles. Very conscientious.

Fantastic experience! I spent months at Spear recovering from knee surgery and am happy to say I'm better than ever. The team helped me progress through my entire recovery and I appreciated the level of attentiveness of each session. Aside from the great care, it's a fun place to go. Everyone has such a great attitude and I looked forward to my PT days. Big shout out to Scott & Aidan for pushing me through journey and all the techs who helped me along the way. Thank you so much!

I wholeheartedly recommend Philippe Corbanese to anyone in need of a knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated physical therapist. From the very first session, it's evident that Philippe is deeply committed to his patients' well-being. He takes the time to listen carefully and tailors his approach to meet each individual’s specific needs. His expertise, combined with a thoughtful and attentive care style, plays a significant role in the recovery process. The consistent support he offers throughout treatment results in noticeable and positive outcomes. Whether you're recovering from an injury or managing a chronic condition, Philippe’s knowledge, care and professionalism will undoubtedly help you achieve your goals.

I cannot recommend Spear Physical Therapy - and specifically Leah Brodfuehrer - enough. I worked with Leah for the better part of two years for multiple running injuries: hip labral tear, a foot stress fracture, and achilles tendinitis. In all instances, Leah helped craft a plan for strengthening muscle imbalances in order to not only heal the original injury, but prevent future ones. Through PT, I learned proper form and established lifelong strengthening routines that have turned me into a faster and more resilient runner. Leah is a best-in-class therapist: competent and pragmatic while remaining empathetic and attentive. The Spear facilities themselves are clean, spacious, and comfortable. Scheduling was easy and billing was uncomplicated. (I hope to not need PT again, but if I did, Spear would be my first stop!) I should mention that successful PT requires a commitment to doing your exercises outside of the sessions and communicating when the work is not challenging enough for you. If you're an athlete looking to nip injuries in the bud for good, I recommend Leah and her peers at Spear.

The PTs, assistants and manager (Scott) are all excellent at their work. I am a repeat customer, after 5 joint replacements in the past several years and I have always loved my physical therapists. I've been working with Aiden McFerran for the past year or so (after two different surgeries) and he may be the best PT I have ever worked with. Like everyone there, he is warm and friendly, and really knows his stuff. I highly recommend Spear at 41Clark St.
