Evolve Physical Therapy & Sports Rehabilitation - Upper East Side

Greg and the Evolve team are great - they identify the issues (with or without a prescription) and give you targeted exercises to do that address the issue. I have had lower back issues and rotator cuff issues and both get resolved after a handful of sessions. Other members of my family, over the years, have been to Evolve with equally good outcomes. My 90 year old mother used to like to go to evolve to use their hand cycle - and Greg would welcome her. Great team, great facilities and you get results.

Evolve is the best! Worked with Greg - very knowledgeable and caring - diagnosed the issues causing my plantar fasciitis and created a plan to keep me doing what I love - dancing and lifting. Feel better just after two sessions - Definitely recommend! It was also very easy to schedule an appointment .. 5 stars

Evolve physical therapy completely changed the recovery of my injured knee. My knee pain improved immensely once I started coming here. I always had 1:1 time, and every session was tailored to me based on real testing and ongoing evaluation of my knee. They helped me realize I’d been overstretching that was recommended to by another physical therapy location. They helped me set realistic expectations around how much discomfort is normal when exercising, which helped me trust the process instead of fearing pain. I would refer evolve over and over again to all!

I have been working with Evolve over the last 15 years to heal 4 separate injuries. Each therapist is equally talented and the therapies are medically tailored. The space is very pleasant and well maintained. I highly recommend PT at Evolve! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Easy scheduling and rescheduling. The therapists are truly interested in your personal injury and history. I tried other UES PTs including hospital PT, Evolve is the best. Most importantly, their training plan works! Strongly recommend.

I had such a great experience at Evolve! I broke my ankle and went to Evolve after 8 weeks in a boot. Greg and the rest of the team were so thorough figuring out what exercises were best to fix the issues I was having and were such a great support system during my recovery! The front desk staff are also so kind and helpful! Hopefully I won’t need PT again but if I do I’ll go back to Evolve!!

Head to Evolve Physical Therapy...Now! The staff is knowledgeable and will troubleshoot depending on your condition and the specific pain you're experiencing that day. They tailor your routine for YOU! No doing the same program twice! The therapists at Evolve Physical theory are professional, have a sense of humor but respectful. The facilities are beautiful complete with a treadmill, elliptical machines, bikes, rowers, bars for heavier lifting (they do sports recoveries as well). I'm feeling better now (thanks to them) but should I need PT again, this is the place I'm heading to!

I was heartbroken when my doctor told me I had torn hamstring tendons and that they were tough to treat. Thankfully, she suggested I go to Evolve Physical Therapy to repair the damage. As a dedicated runner, I’ve been to more physical therapy offices than I can remember, and what really stands out about Evolve is the level of personalized care and concern. Everyone, from the therapists to the receptionists to the assistants, is friendly and helpful. Even the music is good. Of course, the therapists are technically excellent, creating a program for me to repair my hamstring tendons while also targeting other muscles to make me a stronger runner. The combo of the vibe and the technical skill is a winning formula, and I can’t recommend Evolve more strongly.

Evolve was fantastic. I spent several months rehabbing Achilles tendinopathy with Olayi Oyekanmi. Olayi was a great physical therapist and the entire staff was friendly and helpful. What I appreciated most was their attention to detail and their commitment to their patients. I saw significant improvement in my achilles over the time that I spent there. I would highly recommend Evolve to anyone in need of physical therapy.

Kings Hwy 2 loud women and no gym soundproof, unable to hear instructions A tiny area, staff changing clothes. On phone abandoning patient, zNO 1-on-1 constantly changing therapist Dismissive attitudinal WOKE mentality, smell of food, team constantly chomping on protein bars, undermining patient needs. Overall exacerbating my pain by the level of discomfort. Lacking professionalism DOGE worthy, you're CLOSED!!!

Great place to recover. Been here twice. Thorough, professional AND friendly, on time, good management. Beautiful bathroom!

Efficient admin staff . Excellent P/T s. Got better on schedule. Clean environment and equipment.

After a bad fall, I was referred to Greg Babiec at Evolve to help me recover mobility. The first sessions I had with him needed to be remote, since we were in the height of the Covid lockdown. He worked with me twice a week, starting with things as simple as sitting down and getting up from a chair. I did all the exercises that Greg prescribed, several times a day, and soon was walking a little in my building hallway with a cane. Fast forward 10 weeks, I still have lots of discomfort from the actual injury, but I have regained an enormous amount of mobility. Before I fell, I regularly walked 10 miles or more on "urban hikes." Greg developed a walking program for me to get back my endurance; now I can walk 3 miles again, and we are building on that, working on as full a recovery as possible. I'm aiming for 10 miles by October! This has been the most effective and personalized medical care I can imagine. The offices are sparkling clean and spacious. Everyone who works there is friendly and helpful.

I would second the thoughts of the other reviewers. I had ACL and Meniscus surgery and this team got me up on my feet and feeling normal again (physically and mentally) in a very short period of time. They are all very talented and dedicated to excellence in Physical Therapy treatment.

i continue to be impressed with Dror. i was fortunate enough to have him as my therapist in 2015 when i recovered from my shoulder surgery and now dealing with my other shoulder issues Dror has really come through once again. he is so creative in the different therapies to help me with healing and always warm and concerned with my care. i appreciateEvolve but more importantly, I appreciate Dror and the other staff members as well. i really special group! many many thanks!

Came to Evolve PT with a sore shoulder and was connected with Jillian who is a rockstar! As a Crossfitter it's important for me to have a PT that understands the movements and exercises I do so they can prescribe the right scaled program as I rehab. Jillian is super knowledgeable and is as passionate about helping people as she is about Crossfit. I would absolutely recommend her no matter what your age or lifestyle. if you are looking for a great PT Evolve is the way to go!

I have been Training Martial arts for 20 years and suffered a tear in my shoulder. This scared the hell out of me. I had the pleasure of meeting Jay. I have been working with Jay for 2 short months and feel 100% better. His attention to detail, constant attention to my needs and the overall energy he puts into our sessions are amazing. I actually look forward to therapy. "Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much they care." Jay and his entire staff truly care about the clients that attend evolve. Thank you Jay!!

I have been going to Evolve since last October to treat issues related to a spine injury I sustained in a car accident in November 2017. I have been to other physical therapists since the accident but none are so personal and caring. I see Jim every Saturday and he truly eases my pain. I can't say enough good things about him. All of the staff are very professional and listen to your problems in order to find an appropriate solution. Plus, they play great music. I highly recommend Jim (& Evolve in general!) to anyone nearby looking for a PT.

Unbelievable. Greg is a magician. I left another (very well known) place unhappy and saw different results after just one time at Evolve. There's no substitute for thoughtful personalized attention and this is the place.

I can't say enough good things about Evolve. I primarily worked with Jillian and Jason, and saw Katie a couple of times for a hip flexor injury and shoulder issues. These guys really know their stuff -- everyone has great general knowledge, and then their own specialties. Jason has his Titleist certification for golf-specific PT and a particular interest in baseball mechanics; Katie creates running-specific programs for patients. There's a lot of import placed on continuing education here, both in terms of keeping up with current research and attending clinics, conferences, and seminars. It shows. Whenever you're introduced to a new exercise or a manual mobilization, they make sure to explain what's going on and why. I've never had an instance where I've asked a follow-up question and not had it satisfactorily answered in depth. When I first came to the clinic, I had difficulty moving around without pain. I had a pronounced limp and could not easily get up and down stairs. Jillian sorted me out -- after a few months, we've closed my case file and I'm back to running and boxing. Jason helped me identify and fix instabilities in both my shoulders after a preventative screening, and restored full mobility to my right shoulder (for years, I didn't have full range of motion and could not reach my arm up behind my back without pain). If ever I have another injury, Evolve is the first place I'd go.

Evolve PT is by far the best place to go to in Manhattan. They've helped me with a knee, back and toe issue and the staff is extremely knowledgable and nice. I would recommend this place to anybody who wants to resolve pain issues quickly and thoroughly. They are amazing.

For six months, I was in pain from a muscle spasm in my neck. I had headaches, neckaches, shoulder aches. I couldn't sleep much and would wake up feeling lousy. I had trigger point shots for three months from my regular doctor (they just hurt a lot, and didn't help). I had many expensive massages. I did steams, saunas, tried YouTube stretches, everything. I stopped doing yoga and my regular exercise. Then I happened to meet Greg by chance. He suggested I make an appointment. I was skeptical, even cynical, that he could help me, but I thought, "What choice do I have? May as well." My insurance happened to cover a limited number of sessions anyway (and Evolve would submit for me). From the first time I called, I felt I was in professional hands and the staff was so nice. I started working with Greg twice a week and five weeks later I am almost completely pain free and feeling terrific again. Greg is truly invested in his patients' success, skilled, knowledgeable, and committed. He did not treat the symptoms; he treated the actual origins of the problem. That's what worked. I had a fantastic experience with Evolve, and am so grateful I put myself in their capable hands.
