CLIENT REVIEWS:

  • "I’ve been in and out of physical therapy offices for many years and the team here is truly exceptional. They worked diligently before my first appointment to make sure my insurance was squared away. I worked mostly with Frank who is a very knowledgeable and skilled practitioner."

    — Julia E.

  • "This was hands down the best physical therapy place I have ever been to. I came in almost unable to walk from a bulging disc in my back after having seen a different physical therapy place for 2 weeks with no results. After my first appointment at Integrative PT, I saw an immediate difference in my pain. Integrative PT is truly the best."

    — Mia M.

  • "Frank is the best physical therapist out there. The atmosphere of the office is impeccable and the staff is so kind and helpful. I could barely walk with my back injury and I can say they changed my life. I am so grateful for all their help. Highly recommend !!!!!"

    — Sabrina R.

  • "Frank and Jim are super knowledgeable and address all my concerns in a way l can easily understand. I am finally seeing great results after a long year of recovery and lost hope from other places. "

    — Joe P.

  • "Best PT experience I’ve ever had. Place is clean, staff is very friendly and cares about you. I tore my rotator cuff and couldn’t sleep on my left side. Frank and Mackenzie helped me regain shoulder stabilization without needing surgery and are now helping me with other back problems I’ve had for years."

    — Rachel O.

  • " I have regained complete use of my thumb and wrist and the pain is entirely gone in that left hand. I have recommended Integrative PT to coworkers and have returned for subsequent issues, as well. The team there is welcoming, kind, down-to-earth, and proficient in their practice."

    — Yolanda D.

  • "They are simply the best from physical therapy to chiropractic to acupuncture. I highly recommend this office."

    — Zineb L.

  • "Cannot recommend Jim and the entire team for their guidance and deep bench of expertise. Solved multiple disc-related back and leg issues, and provided both care and the necessary knowlege to incorporate as my own routine."

    — Mitchell

  • "What a great place and great staff. Helped me heal in just a little over a month from a slipped disc that had previously made my life very difficult. I've made a complete 180 in my recovery thanks to the folks (Frank, Jim, Mackenzie) at IPT. Would recommend for anyone, especially in the Murray Hill area."

    — Jake H.

  • "Jim Higgins at Integrative was the first person ever to actually identify the issues and explain them to me. These guys are so good I’ve run out of things to complain about!""

    — Willard K.

  • "After running with knee pain for months, I was desperate for physical therapy to help heal me so I could continue training for endurance runs. It's so silly to say - but I can't believe it actually worked!!""

    — Estee G.

  • "Before I came here I was being treated at a couple of other larger PT practices for months which ended up putting me on the crutches after my ACL injury. Frank, Mackenzie and the team helped me get off the crutches to walk again after a month of therapy and I cannot thank them enough. I would recommend them to anyone who is struggling with their mobility!"

    — Rachel L.

  • "Integrative Physical Therapy is a small practice with highly trained, patient centered staff. James Higgins spends my entire appointment teaching and working with me unlike other PTs I have used. I saw results from his program within a week and have continued to improve since. Highest recommendation."

    — Jane R.

  • "Integrative PT is a great organization. My PT therapist Mackenzie takes her time to clearly explain what she is doing throughout the process. I could barely walk due to a torn quadricep in my right leg when I first started at Integrative. Now 3 weeks in, Im doing leg squats. They have clean, modern private rooms for your therapy and the entire staff is very friendly."

    — Seth L.

  • "I worked with Frank, Jim and McKenzie. All were extremely knowledgeable, attentive, welcoming, and generally cool. In about five weeks, a partial rotator-cuff tear was fully rehabbed. I've recommended Integrative to close friends and also to a random person I met in line at REI. I give them 10/10."
