Care that is built around you
Good rehabilitation requires both clinical experience and enough time and attention to understand the person in front of me. Two people can have the same diagnosis but need very different care. The details matter: your history, goals, strengths, limitations, and response to treatment all help shape the plan.
Every session is one-on-one and unhurried, giving me time to reassess as you progress and focus on what is most relevant to restoring function.
How I Can Help
Orthopedic & Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
For orthopedic pain, injuries, movement restrictions, or recovery after surgery. The focus is on restoring mobility, strength, and movement so you can return to daily life, exercise, sport, and the activities that matter to you.
Persistent or Complex Problems
For pain, weakness, stiffness, or movement limitations that have not fully resolved with previous care. The goal is to identify what may still be getting in the way and what needs to change for you to move and function better.
Strength, Balance & Long-Term Physical Capacity
For those who want to stay strong, mobile, and physically capable. The focus is on building and maintaining the strength, balance, and movement capacity you need to train, travel, and stay active over time.
Patient Experiences
Every person comes in with a different history, a different body, and a different goal. Here are a few reflections from patients I’ve worked with.
I went to Sonia for my back pain after many attempts with other rehab specialists. None were able to help. After two sessions with her, the pain has never returned. I've been pain free for over a year.
~Vlad
What a great PT experience! Sonia was thoughtful, thorough and gentle. And she’s a great listener. Thank you, starting to feel better already!
~Ash
I had been seeing a chiropractor for years and I decided to try something different. My doctor recommended Sonia. She helped heal my chronic back pain. So pleasant and personable!! I highly recommend her.
~Thomas
She got me back to full range of motion after shoulder surgery in weeks. She has helped resolve lower back pain, injury recovery, pretty much any issue I've had with my body. Her extensive training shows.

FAQs
Sometimes the issue is not that physical therapy “didn’t work,” but that something important was missed, the treatment did not progress in the way you needed, or there simply wasn’t enough time to understand what was really limiting you. I start by looking closely at what is happening now, what you have already tried, and how your body is moving so we can decide what needs to be different this time.
I am an out-of-network provider. Payment is due at the time of service, and my office can submit claims to your insurance company on your behalf when applicable. Reimbursement depends on your individual out-of-network benefits.
Most sessions take place privately in my Manhattan studio at 736 Broadway, 9th Floor. Concierge home visits are also available
Concierge care gives us more flexibility in how and where we work together. Sessions can take place in my Manhattan studio or, when needed, in your home. I can also stay in communication with your physicians and help coordinate care when that is useful.
The idea is simple: you have direct access to me throughout your rehabilitation, and your care is shaped around what you actually need rather than a predetermined schedule or template.
Not necessarily. In New York, I can evaluate and begin treating you without a referral. State law allows an experienced physical therapist to provide treatment for up to 10 visits or 30 days, whichever comes first, before a referral is required.
Your insurance plan may have its own requirements for out-of-network reimbursement, so it is worth checking your benefits if you plan to submit claims.
I work with a wide range of orthopedic and movement-related problems, including injuries, recovery after surgery, joint and muscle pain, stiffness, weakness, mobility restrictions, gait and balance problems, and issues that have not fully resolved with previous treatment.
I also work with people who may not be injured but want to improve or maintain their strength, mobility, balance, and overall physical capacity.
If you are not sure whether your particular problem is something I treat, feel free to reach out and ask.
Yes, hands-on work can be an important part of treatment, particularly when pain, stiffness, or restricted movement is getting in the way.
Depending on what I find, I may work with joints, muscles, fascia, or other soft tissues. I usually combine hands-on treatment with movement, mobility, or strengthening so that the changes we make during the session translate into how you actually move and function.
Yes, craniosacral work is a gentle, hands-on approach that I use with selected adults and children.
Sometimes craniosacral work is incorporated into a broader physical therapy session, and in other situations it may be the primary focus of the visit. If you are specifically looking for craniosacral care for yourself or your child, please contact me so we can talk about whether it is a good fit.
