You recognize when someone is truly paying attention and not just going through the motions. They go a little bit beyond in being accommodating and communicative.

Condition // Chronic Muscular Condition
What led you to seek care at Pain Management NYC?
I live in Brooklyn and have a muscular condition from childhood that causes progressive weakness as you get older. Following a recent operation, I felt significantly weaker than usual. I started seeing the team here—specifically working with Tara—to see if we could regain some of that strength.
What has your progress been like?
We have actually made real progress, which I think is quite rare for someone with my particular condition. We focused heavily on strengthening my core, which has a direct and positive effect on my walking and mobility. It’s been a couple of years of seeing them on and off, and the results have been tangible.
Why did you choose this team over other physical therapy options?
Having lived with this condition since I was a child, I’ve been in and out of therapy for years. I’ve seen people who just go through the motions; they don’t really push you. At Pain Management NYC, it was clear they were doing more than that.
They know how to push you—which you need—but they also have the expertise to recognize when you’ve reached your limit. You can tell when someone is truly paying attention and doing their job with intention. They go beyond just the physical treatment; they are accommodating, kind, and excellent communicators.
Would you recommend this practice to others?
I would absolutely have no problems recommending them to relatives or friends. It doesn’t matter if they have the same condition I do or other pain-related needs; I know they will be in good hands. The level of care here is simply on another level.
