FINISH LINE 101

If you’ve ever been to physical therapy before, you probably have a picture in your head.

A busy clinic. Multiple patients at once. A quick check-in with your therapist before being handed off to a bike, heat pack, or exercise sheet—while the clock runs out on your session.

Finish Line Physical Therapy is intentionally different. We believe physical therapy should be personal, active, and empowering.

You’re not just another appointment on a schedule—you’re an athlete, a runner, and a person with goals that matter, and our job is to help you reach them.

From the moment you walk through our doors, the experience is designed around you, your goals, and the life you want to get back to—stronger than before.

So what is the Finish Line experience like?

One-on-One Care That Treats the Whole Athlete

Every session at FLPT is one-on-one, start to finish, with a Doctor of Physical Therapy who is fully present for your entire visit. No assistants. No double booking. No rushing between patients.

We take a holistic approach, meaning we don’t just treat the site of pain—we look at how your entire body moves, loads, and adapts. Injuries rarely exist in isolation, and neither does our care.

Every physical therapist at FLPT has completed a fellowship in Applied Functional Science through the Gray Institute, and we continue to invest heavily in education within the running and performance communities. Our team also holds certifications in run coaching, strength and conditioning, and advanced movement analysis.

The result? Thoughtful, individualized care that connects the dots between how you move today and where you want to be tomorrow.

Rehab That Feels Like Performance Enhancement

Your treatment plan at FLPT is designed to seamlessly complement your training, lifestyle, and goals—not interrupt them.

We want your rehab experience to feel less like “taking a step back” and more like building forward.

Every session is purposeful. There’s no passive time spent on heating pads or bikes while you wait for your therapist to return. Instead, every minute is focused, targeted, and intentional, aimed at addressing the root cause of your issue and getting you back to full performance as efficiently and safely as possible.

Whether your goal is returning to running pain-free, setting a PR, or simply moving better in daily life, your plan is built with precision and accountability.

We’re In the Community — Right Alongside You

Our administration team and therapists don’t just treat runners—we are runners.

You’ll find our team lining up at NYRR 9+1 races, racing the Brooklyn Mile, traveling to collect their next World Marathon Major star, or running up Fifth Avenue on the first Sunday of November.

And if we’re not racing with you, we’re out there cheering you on.

We understand the emotional side of injury because we’ve lived it. We know what it means to miss a start line, adjust training plans, and fight your way back. That shared experience matters—and it shapes the way we care for you.

Recovery Tools That Support Your Training

In addition to hands-on treatment and targeted programming, we offer advanced recovery tools to support both rehab and performance, including:

    •    Normatec compression therapy

    •    Infrared sauna

    •    Cryotherapy

    •    AlterG / Boost treadmill for reduced-impact running

These services aren’t add-ons for the sake of convenience—they’re used strategically to help you recover better, train smarter, and progress with confidence.
