"I received excellent treatment from Dave for left shoulder pain. With Dave's help, my pain is gone and I am able to gain full usage of my arm again! The PT I received gave me the confidence and ability to not only perform daily activities again but also play tennis. The office has a very friendly atmosphere and was very helpful in scheduling appointment times. I am grateful for the PT services I received and highly recommend Comprehensive PhysicalTherapy if you need help."

"My Sports Medicine Doctor recommended CPTA when I asked for a professional courtesy. As a Registered Nurse with over 45 years of professional and personal experience assisting patients, family members, friends, and neighbors with their health care needs. I knew that my doctor knew best. Prior to coming to CPTA my best experiences as a patient and as a professional were at world-renown Rusk Institute. Big is not always better when one wants personalized, effective care. At CPTA, David, a skilled, very experienced Therapist supervised every one of my sessions, answered all my questions and offered advice and suggestions that helped me heal. No short cuts were ever taken. I was never rushed. If I needed help, there was always someone who quickly responded whether they were assigned to me or not. Now that I have been discharged, if I or a family member or a friend need physical therapy, CPTA will be my first call. Rusk Institute will be second."

"I received treatment from David for a strained left shoulder which had a large knot in it that couldn’t be worked out with other therapies. I’ve had physical therapy sessions with other providers twice in the past and can honestly say my experience at CPTA was the best. David was knowledgeable, efficient, and patient ensuring no drastic adjustments making incremental progress each session. In 2 months the knot was almost completely eliminated and I have learned exercises to maintain flexibility in the area. If you’re looking for quality care with good-hearted practitioners that make time for their patients, I would highly recommend!"

"I chose CPTA due to their relationship with HSS and proximity to my office, primarily for post spinal lumbar fusion rehab as well as a balky knee. Can't say enough about Dave Ziska's careful and caring approach to PT. Went twice a week for about 3 months and really looked forward to the sessions which consited mainly of manipulation, stretching, core work and some strength training. I would not hesitate to recommend Dave to anyone in need of an effective professional. I'm comfortable knowing they are close by should any problems arise."

"I have received physical therapy at several facilities over the years, and I find that Comprehensive Physical Therapy Associates, which is conveniently located in midtown Manhattan, is the best by far. I first went to CPTA almost 10 years ago, and having returned there recently, I am pleased to see that their excellence has remained the same. I have been working with John Ferrari, an expert with over 33 years of direct patient-care experience, and I am delighted with the results. My program is a combination of massage, heat treatment, and a variety of exercises, which in combination are tailored to the script provided by my pain management physician. After only a few weeks, my neck pain and stiffness has been reduced drastically, and I hardly experience muscle spasms. In addition, my balance and mobility have improved considerably, I can walk without discomfort, and I can sleep in any position without feeling excruciating pain as I did before starting my program. Comprehensive Physical Therapy Associates is a private practice with a very friendly and dedicated staff. David Ziska, John's associate, is also an extremely experienced and effective therapist, and Mary, the billing and scheduling manager, is very accommodating to your needs. I highly recommend Comprehensive Physical Therapy Associates. "

My left knee and right foot are as good as new after Dave Ziska's treated them with a degree of care and knowledge that can only come from superior training, vast experience and a lot of humanity. He is taking care of another ailment of mine with the same degree of expertise and care. Their place of business is spotless clean, in a classy building and excellent location.

"The best physical therapy I've ever experienced. I just finished my 4 month treatment and could not be happier - I will legitimately miss seeing John twice per week. The amount of hands-on manipulation and one on one attention is unparalleled versus all the other PT places I've been. John and his colleagues truly care about their patients. I'm a 30 year old, athletic, active male and I was initially reticent because comprehensive is not as flashy or renovated as other places - but wow am I so glad I went with comprehensive. I have recovered from my torn labrum incredibly and it's all due to John and his team. Cannot recommend enough!!!"

"After six months of moderate but persistent back pain I was seen by a rehabilitation physician who recommended physical therapy. I picked Comprehensive Physical Therapy Associates from his list because it's in my neighborhood. Early in January 2022 I began seeing John for one hour sessions, twice a week for two months and then tapering off to once a week for a third month. For six weeks after the end of my treatment I've been pain free. I continue to do the recommended exercises three or four times a week, also practice yoga and jog moderately. I feel great. I highly recommend CPTA."

"wow it just hit me! Almost two years from my last PT session have passed, and my shoulders have been functioning like when I was born. I'm going to share my story in case anyone is going through something similar. I suffered from bilateral shoulder tendonitis (MRI showed partial tears), and my shoulders' joints were literally on fire, affecting my day to day life, work, sleep etc. I visited an ortho doctor and suggested start doing PT. Unfortunately, after six months of PT in another facility, my symptoms have gotten worse. More fuel was added to the fire to the point that my doctor suggested getting surgery given 6 months of PT was a total failure. Hopeless of PT and skeptical of getting surgery, I was lucky and grateful to find this gem of a place. I had the pleasure of working with John. John is a very nice, professional, experienced, and knowledgeable person. After examining and assessing the severity of my injury and range of motion, he strongly recommended doing another PT round for 4 to 6 months before considering surgery. John came up with a comprehensive plan to calm my shoulders down and relieve the pain for the first 3 months. After 3 months, my shoulder pain has significantly improved. I felt that I might not need to do surgery anymore, and PT does the magic. I continued PT with John for another 3 months focusing more on strengthening and improving my range of motion to the point that I got 90% of my shoulder functionality back. Ever since my shoulder has gotten better over time, and today I can say I have no more issues and have been back to all activities including sports. The moral of the story is that physical therapy does matter and does the magic in many cases (I was completely hopeless in the beginning). BUT more importantly, it really matters who your physical therapist is. I would suggest finding someone with experience and knowledge in the subject matter. For that, I highly recommend John and the team at Comprehensive Physical Therapy Associates. Thank you for fixing my shoulders and saving me from 2 shoulder surgery."

"I could not be happier going to Comprehensive. David, John, and Chris are so professional, talented and caring. I started there several years ago for a problem back and neck. Then I had a foot operation and David helped me recover from that too! Now I am facing hip replacement and when I mentioned my therapists to my doctors they have nothing but good things to say. I say go and feel a hell of a lot better!"

"I highly recommend Comprehensive Physical Therapy. I enlisted John to provide post-op therapy for a reconstructed elbow and I was extremely happy with his level of care, knowledge and experience. I have had physical therapy with a number of therapists over the years for a several different conditions and John stands out as the best. He is extremely hands on when necessary and demonstrates an intimate knowledge of his field. He also customizes his care for the circumstances of the individual. The office is extremely helpful and flexible with appointments, and very professional concerning insurance matters (and plays great music too)! I experienced an extremely successful recovery and I think that John’s care was a critical element leading to this outcome. Definitely a five-star operation! "

I don't regret my decision at all. Everyone from the front desk staff to each of the therapists are professional and friendly. David has and is helping me get back on track with my flexibility, pushing the disc back in essentially. I have seen and felt a drastic difference in the lower lumbar area, since working with David. I highly recommend this office, if you need caring, understanding and effective physical therapists."

" I had severe Achilles problems and pain for 4 months after a fall in a parking lot. My personal attempts with exercises yielded little help. On a recommendation from my Doctor I began PT at Comprehensive Physical Therapy Associates. This place has a nice, comfortable atmosphere and the staff are friendly and a pleasure to meet. Dave, John, Mary are awesome, their knowledge and experience, compassion and encouragement deserve the lion’s share of the credit in helping me me in my recovery. At CPTA, I was given simple but helpful exercises for home, and treatment in the office with Dave who I was to discover had magic in his hands! Each time I left a session the pain and discomfort lessened. My mobility got better and for the first time there was notable progress! After just weeks of PT with Dave I’m pain free and can walk again without limping. Thank you, again, all, especially Dave. I would definitely highly recommend Comprehensive Physical Therapy Associates to friends and family should the need occur. I highly recommend them to all who are facing the challenge of coping with an Achilles problem. Mary A. "

They suit the treatment plan to the problem, and they modify it as they see what is helping and what is not. They are very attentive to patient progress, they keep thorough files they can refer to when a patient develops a new problem years later.

"Comprehensive Physical Associates is a boutique PT practice. It caters to a small number of patients at any given time, personally treated in private areas by one of the resident PTs, instead of an assistant (a common situation in some of the larger practices--my previous experience). David Ziska helped me recover from a compressed sciatic nerve and a dropped foot, a consequence of nerve damage. He approached my situation in a systematic, deliberate, persistent manner. His approach helped me recover fully. I am grateful to him and would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone who needs PT care. "

The therapists are all extremely knowledgeable and experienced. I worked with John but would recommend Dave or Chris as well. I had ACL reconstruction surgery and used CPT before and after my surgery. Not only do they have lots of experience on the medical side, but the personal time and care they provide really goes a long way in elevating your mood and emotions which helps tremendously after a major surgery. They limit how many clients they see at a given time so the office is never too crowded and everyone there is always in a very positive and joyful mood! Highly highly recommended for anyone needing physical therapy services in NYC!!"

"My treatment at CPT was both successful and a pleasure. I came here after a year of shoulder pain (tendinosis) and steadily improved during my sessions at CPT. John and his colleagues are very experienced, knowledgeable and friendly. During each visit, the same PT treated me the entire session. The office is clean and centrally located in midtown. When seeking a physical therapist, I recommend finding someone with a lot of experience. I also recommend a practice where you will work with the same therapist during your entire visit (instead of being handed off to lower paid, less experienced assistants). And avoid basing your decision on things like a practice’s number of offices, fun high energy atmosphere, etc. I don't normally write reviews but the folks at Comprehensive Therapy earned the recognition.

I'm a physician and have done PT at other facilities around NYC; Chris never farmed me out to PT assistants, as often happens in the big box facilities. Her plans were very tailored to my individual needs after a pretty bizarre accident and equally bizarre surgery at HSS. They know HSS surgeons well and work with them regularly. The front staff are also amazing--always helpful if I needed to reschedule, and willing to call my insurance carrier to have more visits approved.

"For over two years I have had a lower left leg injury, which became painful after a run and the knee occasionally locking up. Having had physio therapy without success prior to coming to New York City I almost resigned to the fact I may not be able to run again without pain and the injury flaring up. During my first visit to Comprehensive Physical Therapy Associates I mentioned to David Ziska that I have two goals. Firstly I would like to be able to run again, free from pain, and secondly to run and complete the New York City marathon. After several months of twice weekly physio sessions I no longer feel the knee locking up or any pain after a run. This is in no small part due to David’s professional approach, encouragement, counsel and perseverance and sense of humour. David has a relaxed but firm approach. I really appreciated his enthusiasm, honesty and positive attitude. These are qualities also demonstrated by the other therapists. The front desk staff members are always pleasant, friendly, competent, and helpful and always made me feel welcomed. Through strengthening exercises to my hip abductor, quad and core and flexibility and stretching exercises, I am pleased to say that I can now run freely (and enjoying the experience again) without pain. Now I have achieved my first goal and the second goal could be a reality if I get accepted for the 2016 New York City marathon. Thank you for your friendship"

I tore my ACL in March 2017 and had a hamstring graft at HSS a month later. Worked with Dave for the last 6 months to rehab my knee. As a very active person, Dave was great in ensuring an aggressive program for me but also making sure I didn’t push myself beyond my limits.

Could not be happier – excellent service, great people, flexible with scheduling and super responsive (all around including reception and accounting). Unlike some of the larger physical therapists in New York, they have such incredible attention to detail and really develop a great personal relationship with you.

John and Dave are the best. Was referred by my wife who they helped with a painful hamstring tear and have now been here twice myself for two different injuries, a hamstring and an ankle. The whole staff are welcoming, genuine, knowledgeable, and helpful.

I was a patient at Comprehensive Physical Therapy Associates for 6 months while recovering from an ACL injury and surgery. While PT can be daunting and overwhelming for any injury, CPTA did everything to make me feel encouraged and positive every single time I visited. Not only are John and Dave nice, fun and interesting guys, they are also great at providing personal attention and showing progress throughout the entire process.

There are a ton of PT places in NYC, but I don’t think you will find much better than CPTA. I feel so lucky that I chose them to help me with my recovery. Thank you!

I have been coming here for about a month for my hip injury. The best PT I have been in the city. Highly recommend!

I was referred to CPTA by a friend from work after I tore my ACL and had reconstructive surgery almost 3 months ago. I’ve never had a surgery before and the thought of recovery was quite scary. I am so grateful for CPTA. John and Dave have made recovery such a positive and fun task that I truly look forward to therapy each and every time. From tracking my progress to stretching and exercises, I feel great and continue to feel better each day. They are both beyond knowledgeable and care about their patients. There are a ton of places in the city, no other place would give the one on one attention that I’ve received here. Thank you, CPTA for making this process enjoyable and for helping me through such a difficult time!

I was referred to John Ferrari after a minor accident and saw him for a couple of months. He has a great disposition and most importantly got me back to health!

Patient Recommendations

“My therapist was David Ziska. He was very personable and attentive to my specific needs. He progressed my therapy at a rate where I was able to recover quickly, but did not experience any undue stress or pain. At every visit he knew where we had left off and what areas I needed to focus on. My steady improvement benefited me not only physically, but lifted my spirits after the injury and surgery.”

– Andrew

“After my knee replacement surgery I needed extensive physical therapy. My therapist made it an extremely positive experience. She pushed me just enough to do more each time, never pushing be past what I could possibly do. She was extremely patient and attentive. I was very impressed with both her and how this business was run. I have been to physical therapy before, after the first time they left me on my own and it was just the machines. Here there was massage and the therapist stayed with me most of the time giving encouragement and correcting when I was doing something wrong.“

“I have been a patient at CPTA for over a decade for a variety of running-related injuries and can recommend them highly. The care, treatment and training advice I have received at CPTA has directly contributed to my continued success in running marathons.”

MD Recommendations

“I have worked with Chris on any number of occasions – with some particularly demanding patients. She has provided superb quality service and therapy. Recommend her highly without reservation.”

“I find CPTA to be highly professional and extremely ethical. It has been a pleasure being associated with them. I have no hesitation in recommending them.”

“I refer a great deal of my patients to John Ferrari and Comprehensive Physical Therapy for pre- and post-operative after orthopaedic injuries. This is an outstanding facility that gives personalized care to each and everyone of their clients. I highly recommend them and will continue to support them in the future.”
