You can move, live, heal and perform better with dedicated attention and hands-on treatment. As part of our philosophy we have expertise treating any body region and any condition you may have.
Our goal is to make you feel heard, informed, and supported throughout your care
If you’ve ever felt rushed through Physical Therapy or handed a sheet of exercises without real assessment, you’re not alone. Many New Yorkers come to KFMT Physical Therapy NYC looking for care that actually listens to them, does a thorough examination & individualizes care to their specific needs. . Every visit is 60 minutes, one-on-one, with a Certified Functional Manual Therapist (CFMT) who blends hands-on treatment with precise movement re-education.
Located on West 19th Street in Chelsea, we work with people from across New York City who want thoughtful, individualized care that fits busy city schedules.
When Pain Feels Complex, You Want Clear Answers
True 60-Minute Sessions
You won’t be rotated between patients or left alone mid-visit; you receive full attention every session with one clinician.
Hands-On + Movement Retraining
Manual therapy is integrated with specific exercise and motor control work, so you leave each session knowing what changed and how to build on it.

Questions you might have.
Q:
How is your approach different?
The KFMT approach involves:
- Listen thoroughly to our patients to understand the issue and the impact on their life
- Do a thorough examination to find the root causes of your issue
- Treat using hands on work to restore mobility & stability needed to resolve the core issues
- Give the patients the tools they need to do to prevent recurrence
Q:
I'm not sure if this approach is right for me, can I do a brief consult with KFMT to find out?
Yes. We do offer free 30 minute consults to assess if the KFMT approach is right for your condition. This is not meant to replace a full evaluation and you will not receive treatment, but we can listen to your issues and do a brief assessment so we can get an idea of whether PT is right for you at this time or if you need to see somebody else. ** Consults only available for some PTs and are based on therapist availability
