Expert Physical Therapy in Ithaca, NY

"Eric at Urban Physical Therapy is by far the best physiotherapist I have ever encountered. Eric is a great diagnostician, knows when and how to make me push my limits, and has given me a ton of easy-to-implement recommendations for things I can do at home to speed my recovery and improve my strength and flexibility. Overall, Erik's disciplined, holistic, and practical approach to physio is just what I needed to get -- and keep -- my body right.”

"I highly recommend Urban PT. I started working with Eric after two injuries (ankle and shoulder) were preventing me from rock climbing, and I wanted to recover enough to do an outdoor climb 3 months later. I was able to meet that goal, and now, several months later, I am able to improve my climbing and get stronger again. This has been the best PT experience I've had because it's not been just about alleviating pain and getting back to what is "normal" but getting to be able to continue to do what I want to do, whether it's climbing or crawling around on the floor with my kid."

"I have now worked with Eric through a couple different injuries. As an athlete I appreciate working with someone who is focused not just on regaining functionality, but he works to get you back to 100% as strong as you were before, if not better. I was amazed at my first session with him when I came in with knee pain that I had for months. He evaluated me, had me do a couple of stretches that seemed completely unrelated, and the knee pain was immediately feeling better."

"Eric is the best physical therapist that I have been treated by. He spends an hour with me each time, finding out what’s hurting and then he treats me manually and through exercise according to what he thinks will help. He also goes over any questions about the exercises that he has prescribed that I at home. I’ve been coming to urban therapy for years, the only physical therapist where I see and feel continuous improvement. I’ve been to most others in Ithaca over the years and this is the one that I give my highest recommendation. Treatment really helps me.”

"I’ve really enjoyed working with Erik! The one-on-one sessions have been excellent — he takes the time to listen and tailor each treatment to my needs. Over the course of therapy, I’ve gotten much stronger and have seen major improvement in my chronic leg pain. Erik is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about his patients’ progress. Highly recommend him!”
