Lion Physical Therapy — Local services in New York

I have been seeing Andrew, a skilled physical therapist at Lion PT in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, for over a year now, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible transformation he has brought into my life. Prior to my time at Lion PT, I had the privilege of being treated by David at their sister location in Long Island City for a year and a half. Both therapists, David and Andrew, have played a vital role in alleviating the debilitating back pain I experienced following a car accident in 2019.

From the moment I stepped into Lion PT in Greenpoint, I was impressed by the spacious and beautifully designed facility. The ambiance is warm and inviting, creating a positive environment for therapy sessions. The entire team, including Andrew, has always been friendly, professional, and attentive to my needs.

Andrew's expertise and dedication have truly made a significant impact on my recovery journey. He took the time to understand the specifics of my situation and tailored a comprehensive treatment plan to address my back pain. His knowledge of various physical therapy techniques, coupled with his empathetic and compassionate approach, instilled a sense of trust and confidence in me right from the start.

Under Andrew's guidance, I have experienced remarkable progress in managing and eventually eliminating my back pain. He employs a combination of exercises, manual therapy, and targeted interventions to address my specific needs. Andrew's attention to detail and ability to adapt the treatment plan as necessary ensured that I consistently made strides toward my goals.

Furthermore, Andrew's communication skills are exceptional. He explains each step of the process, educates me about my condition, and provides valuable advice on self-care and preventive measures. I genuinely appreciate his willingness to answer my questions, as it further empowers me to take an active role in my own recovery.

I also want to acknowledge the entire team at Lion PT for creating a positive and supportive atmosphere. The administrative staff is always accommodating, scheduling appointments with ease and handling insurance matters efficiently.

My experience with Andrew at Lion PT in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, has been nothing short of life-changing. His expertise, along with the welcoming environment and excellent support from the entire team, has made my journey to recovery not only effective but also enjoyable. I highly recommend Lion PT, and specifically Andrew, to anyone seeking exceptional physical therapy care.

Thank you, Andrew, for your unwavering commitment and dedication to my well-being. You have truly made a...

I HIGHLY recommend Dr Andrew at Lion Physical Therapy, he's the best!!! I came to Lion with pain in my right hip that I had neglected for years. I literally thought, "OK I guess my hip will just be in pain forever now" - but I'm happy to report that after working with Dr Andrew over the last year, I have zero hip pain!! I'm now working with Andrew on two of my other problems (foot pain and shoulder pain) and have been making steady improvement. Andrew is very systematic in figuring out what problems are, always listens to what I have to say, and is really dedicated to fixing problems ASAP.

Andrew does a great job of customizing your program to be exactly for who you are, too. I am NOT athletic, I am a nerdy programmer who sits at a computer all day, and my injuries were due to how weak my muscles were, not from like sports or something lolll 😂 With Andrew, we started with exercises I could do in my living room, then gradually moved up to a routine I could do with the weights at my small apartment gym so I didn't have to get a gym membership. I really appreciated how realistic this approach was; I didn't have to already be used to exercising to make progress with a home routine. I'm now lifting weights 5 days / week -- never thought that would happen, either!!

The space is beautiful and clean, insurance was easy and transparent from the beginning, managing appointments is very simple (can cancel & reschedule online!), and Andrew is a blast too - sooo friendly and fun!! You work out HARD at Lion, but it's in such a positive, encouraging, and fun environment and I never feel stressed out. Andrew's a big nerd too -- I mention because this is truly a selling point for me LOL --- so we geek out about things like video games the whole time, and the time passes really quickly despite how much I'm sweating!!

I could not imagine a better experience than what I've had at Lion PT with Andrew. Highly, highly...

I had an amazing experience at Lion PT and wholeheartedly recommend them.

Dr Andrew's deep experience and encyclopedic knowledge were right on target with correctly diagnosing and treating my two unrelated injuries – frozen shoulder and fluid buildup in my knee from half marathon training/running that left me with pain and very limited range of motion in both places. He judiciously laid out an evolving course of treatment and carefully monitored my progress, which literally got me back on my feet and reaching for new heights in what felt like no time. I shed more than a few happy tears in sessions when I started to move like my old self again.

I purchased a 12-session package, which included one-on-one work during our entire session as well as a reasonable course of at-home exercises that were tailored to equipment and facilities that I already had access to. I appreciated that over time we spaced the sessions out as I improved and was able to do more exercises on my own. When the time was right, I also received a cortisone injection for my shoulder from a world-class orthopedist, on Dr Andrew's recommendation. They both felt the injection would be curative for my particular case and they were absolutely correct. It fast-tracked my progress, to my astonishment. More happy tears. Hands down one of the best healthcare decisions I've ever made. I felt empowered to make informed decisions at every step thanks to Dr Andrew's patient and thorough communication.

Dr Andrew is a caring, thoughtful professional, in addition to being a joy to work with. His playlists in the office are always great too! I can't recommend him and Lion PT...
