Manual physical therapy is a hands-on approach that focuses on deeply working your joints and tissues, without machinery.
We use methods like Functional Range Release, joint manipulation, taping, and more to increase mobility and stability in the way that best suits you.
We use manual physical therapy in our holistic approach to physical therapy, which includes:
“Best Physical Therapists in NYC. You get full attention from the Physical Therapist for the entire hour session. They [also] teach you to take care of yourself - they give you the knowledge and tools to monitor your injury at home so you can keep improving and get better faster, so you can avoid having the same injury in the future.”
"The minute you walk into MOTIVNY you know you have arrived at the right place, professional yet inviting. This not your cookie cutter PT experience, this is a highly individualized program that will work miracles. Luke not only treats what ails the body but also helps you through the emotional ups and downs of rehabbing. I came into their space crippled after multiple back surgeries and Luke worked his magic and my life has changed. Thank you Luke and MOTIVNY."
"I did not believe in strength training/PT until I joined MOTIVNY. They’re the best of the best! The staff here is attentive, caring, anddownright awesome. Truly, you won’t receive better care in NYC. I came here originally for knee and hip flexor pain after my fall marathon, and the care I received in their facility and the take home exercises were unmatched. Look no further, NYC. If you’re looking to recover, enhance your running, or build strength, this place has got you covered."
If you’re wondering whether physical therapy is right for you, check out some of the most common areas we treat:
Are you accepting new patients?
Of course! To get started with one of our therapists, click the Book Now button in the upper right-hand corner. You’ll be taken to our booking portal where you can select a time that works best for you with any of our therapists.
Do you accept my insurance?
In order to use your insurance to work with a Therapist at MOTIVNY, your plan needs to have Out-of-Network benefits. Good news! We’re happy to check that for you, and clearly state all of your out-of-pocket expenses before your appointment.
No Out-of-Network Coverage? No worries! You can still meet with one of our therapists. We offer a cash rate per appointment.
Do I need a referral?
Since we are an out of network provider, you do not need a referral to meet with our therapists. However, if you are looking to use your insurance to pay for services, your insurance provider may require you to get one.
Do you accept FSA/HSA payments?
Yes. We’ll happily work with you to use your HSA, FSA, or other means of self-paying for your visits. Keep in mind that some HSA/FSA will require you to submit your receipts.

What sort of patients do you work with?
We have the expertise to see patients of all backgrounds and with any musculoskeletal or neurological injuries, as well as post-op surgical procedures.
We most commonly see athletes, both recreational and professional, adolescent and adult. We pride ourselves in our ability to bridge the gap between rehab and performance, and get our patients back to their preferred fitness activities better than before they got injured.
Does your team have any specialties or certifications?
We believe that staying at the cutting edge of research in the orthopedic field is of the utmost importance in providing the best possible care for our clients. Our team includes US Board Certified Orthopedic Certified Specialists, EXOS Performance Specialists, and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists.
In addition to these, we are constantly learning and building on our knowledge with certification courses including the Russian Kettlebell Certification, Running Gait Analysis specialist courses, manual therapy and spinal manipulation courses, and other evidence- based research courses.
How much does a session cost?
We offer all patients a max out-of-pocket cost per appointment of $225 ($275 for our founders). We call this our self-pay rate and patients will never be asked to pay for costs beyond this out of their pocket.
If your insurance is helping to cover physical therapy, your out-of-pocket costs may vary from $30 to possibly $100 per session, and your insurance should pay for the rest. If your insurance isn’t helping to pay, your out-of-pocket expense will be the cost of the entire visit.
This varies from provider to provider, and by location, but you can expect the cost to be anywhere from $150-$300 for an hour-long appointment. This will vary based on the experience level and availability of the therapist you select to work with.
As an out-of-network provider, we don't require that patients have insurance and they don't need a prescription to see one of our therapists. We are also able to offer hour- long appointments at MOTIVNY because of this as opposed to the industry standard 30 minutes.
Do you have a phone number I can call?
Yes! You can reach us at (212) 226-0400.
