Empire Physical Therapy & Athletic Rehabilitation, PC — Local services in New York

Empire is a boutique PT company that is head and shoulders above the big PT chains in terms of the team's level of expertise and attention to care. There's a reason the two owners, Paul and Billy, have been in business as long as they have. Billy has rehabbed me through three total knee replacements - the latest being a total revision TKR - as well as back injuries, and all with great results. He is an absolute pleasure to work with! Both have backgrounds as high-level athletes and sports trainers, and it shows in the hands-on techniques, exercises, and modalities they use. I feel like an athlete in training and love that, despite being in my late 60s.

The facility is very comfortable and well-equipped. Can't recommend...

Paul was very attentive and had a hands-on approach. He put me on a strict regiment of stretching (sometimes intense) and strengthening, which quickly improved my situation. Within about 6 weeks, I had my full range of motion back and was able to get back to my gym activities and playing rec...

I've had lots of post-surgical PT, unfortunately, and this is the best! When I fractured my humerus in 2013 my surgeon recommended Paul La Rosa and Empire PT, cautioning me I would never regain full use of my arm. After six months of sometimes painful PT, I had full function in that arm. My surgeon said I was off the charts in terms of my rehab and recovery. Just eight weeks ago I fell again and badly fractured my right elbow. I'm working with Paul again to be sure I regain full use of my arm. Is it painful? Yes! But I trust Paul and know he's just as invested in my...
