My first time doing PT (for my knee), I found Shraddhali to be incredibly helpful, a great mix of empathy, kindness and... encouragement. But she's no pushover! She insisted I could do the exercises with increased repetition and/or weight, and I did. Would highly recommend her.read more

I came to ProFitness to treat a condition that caused a lot of pain and restricted my shoulder and arm movement. After... a few weeks of treatment the pain was gone, and by week 6 my range of motion was nearly back to normal. Helen Li was very professional, knowledgeable, and direct. She was great at assessing my condition and creating a plan to get me where I needed to go. If I ever need PT in the future, ProFitness will be at the top of my list.read more

I spent the better part of 5 months going to ProFitness in Brooklyn, both Telehealth and in-person appointments, to... cure adhesive capsulitis, ligament and muscle tears in my right shoulder. Booking appointments and billing were expertly handled by Cynthia at the front desk. My therapist, Helen Li, has a wealth of knowledge that she readily shared, helping me understand how each exercise would contribute to my progress. Helen adapted treatments for maximum effect and to speed up recovery. The online portal provides a helpful reference for continuing exercises at home. Highly recommend.read more

ProFitness was recommended by HSS after my total ACL repair. The experience has been nothing but excellent. The... regiment has been helpful with my recovery & I feel 80% close to normal after just 3 1/2 months of therapy. The staff is wonderful & I really appreciate working with Shraddha. The facility is great & they have enough space for social distancing and I like the individual booths for therapists to work one on one with patients. I would highly recommend this location for anyone post-op. Thanks again ProFitness!read more

Have been going to ProFitness - Brooklyn Heights for just over 3 months rehabilitating a shattered wrist. My PT Helen... Li has been amazing during this time. Straight forward in her approach and knowledgable in methods. I have gone from having virtually no mobility and strength in my wrist, hand and arm to being closer to normal functionality. I didn't think I would be this far along in such a timeframe. Helen has been instrumental in guiding me forward. The rest of the staff are welcoming and friendly and easy to work with.read more

If not for her, I would still have extreme pain that was being attributed to my back when it was hips that were the problem. She gets you to do the work by subtle nudging. I am grateful to know her.read more

My physical therapist was AWFUL. She was totally uninvested in my recovery, gave me bad advice that set my post-surgery... rehab back by months. I had knee surgery a year ago and I'm still dealing with the fallout from having had sub-par care for months after surgery. The physical therapist I ultimately switched to told me she had me doing exercises that were totally inappropriate and I could have really hurt myself. Maybe some of the therapists are ok, but this woman was HORRIFICread more

I’ve been going to PT here for about 3/4 weeks now. Jennifer is my physical therapist trainer, she is AMAZING! Very... personable, gentle, listens to what I’m explaining I feel, where the pain is, gives excellent advice for how to work through pain management at home. I’m being treated for a complex meniscus tear and I’ve always been skeptical about PT facilities in the past from past experiences, however this place gas been great. I will recommend to anyone thinking of coming here, they’re really good. Appointments also run on time, love a facility who can respect your time.read more

I'm so happy to have found ProFitness! I visited several physical therapy offices in my area, to see where I felt most... comfortable with Covid-19 looming. Plus, It was extremely important for me to get a feel for the therapist that would be potentially treating me. I called ProFitness prior to visiting their office and asked if it was ok for me to visit the facility, the receptionist I spoke to was professional and kind. While waiting in the reception area, Jennifer Schlinger greeted warmly and showed me around the facility. What was important to me was the treatment area was privet and sanitary, I was satisfied with both. I was thrilled to find out Jennifer was the physical therapist who would be handling my case. I've worked with Jennifer twice so far, aside from her being kind and caring, I know I'm receiving the best care to rehab my knee. I've already seen a noticeable improvement . I would highly reccomend Jennifer Schlinger at ProFitness!read more

I needed physical therapy for a frozen shoulder, and secondarily for balance and posture issues related to aging and... MS. I was skeptical about the effectiveness of treating these issues remotely but didn't have any choice because of the pandemic. My experience has been very, very positive. While resolving the frozen shoulder does take longer without in person sessions, I can see my range of motion and the functionality of the shoulder coming back. But what has been even more of a revelation is how much improvement I can see in my balance, posture and general vitality. Scott has developed an escalating program that has helped me identify my weaknesses and given me a great deal of confidence that I do not have to accept limitations that I had become resigned to. His explanations of why these limitations creep up on you are particularly helpful and motivating. I can't recommend this service highly enough. The administration is professional and smooth, and the physical therapy is expert!read more

Asked for a PT knowledgeable in runners issues, and James Foo connected with me by phone. So I made an appointment. I... had ACL reconstruction years ago and recurring injuries while running. The strengthening exercises were immensely helpful and he gave useful advice on staying injury-free as well as building up (mileage, speed) that I wouldn't get by googling. He's a runner himself so working with him is productive.read more

I had knee replacement surgery six weeks ago. Outside my home PT started on week 3 with Scott at ProFitness. It’s been... a 100% positive experience. Scott is very knowledgeable, experienced and supportive. From Session One, he shared what to expect regarding the PT process and my progress, was a straight shooter in terms of what I should be able to do now and in the future and how I’d feel both during each therapy session and afterwards. It’s actually been a really fun and rewarding experience and not at all painful or uncomfortable. I actually look forward to going twice a week and have made enormous progress in terms of mobility, knee strength and range of motion. I highly recommend Scott and the practice.read more

My Neurologist sent me to Profitness with the admonition that if they could not help me no one could. They did and I... have been recommending them ever since. When I had bilateral knee replacements Ken worked with me as soon as I came home from rehab. With his assistance I regained full range of motion as quickly as possible. He is very supportive, understanding, and extremely knowledgable. At Profitness each therapist works with you individually for the full session. They make sure you are doing each exercise correctly and never leave your side to check on anyone else. I really appreciate their high level of care.read more

Despite some ‘less than encouraging’ posts concerning Profitness Physical Therapy online, I called around to those... offices recommended by the Hospital For Special Surgery in Manhattan. That search led me to their upper east side office and Dr. James Foo. It was the only office in proximity that would accept my Medicare without supplement payments. Glad I did. Dr. James Foo was highly knowledgeable, very professional, and most personable. My physiatrist, Dr. Cooke, diagnosed my issue as arthritis in the lower back which affected my left hip. It was debilitating and preventing me from walking quickly or any significantly measurable distance. In addition to a routine including aerobic exercises, I’ve worked out at the gym at least three days a week with weights regularly since 1983. No slouch in that regard, but I did consider this physical fitness routine prescribed more rigorous. I kept the faith, followed the routine religiously and after three and a half months have made considerable progress. I now foresee the day I’ll once again be able to run. It is still a ‘work in progress’, but I enthusiastically give my highest recommendation and thanks to Dr. James Foo and Profitness Physical Therapy.read more
