Why One-On-One Physical Therapy Matters

Unlike high-volume clinics or fitness-style rehab chains, Gramercy Physical Therapy maintains a true one-on-one treatment model—meaning patients receive undivided attention from licensed physical therapists for the entirety of each session.

“Our patients aren’t passed between assistants or crowded into group therapy rooms,” said Dr. Gene Shenker, DPT, founder and clinical director. “We focus on individualized care that is precise, purposeful, and results-driven.”

This model allows for:
Tailored treatment plans
Manual therapy techniques such as joint mobilization, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy
Close monitoring of progress and personalized progression of exercises
Stronger patient–therapist rapport, which encourages compliance and confidence
Research consistently supports that hands-on manual therapy, when combined with therapeutic exercise, improves outcomes in conditions such as back pain, joint dysfunction, post-surgical stiffness, and soft tissue injuries.

Custom Orthotics in NYC: Designed for Function, Not Just Fit

Gramercy Physical Therapy has enhanced its custom orthotics program, now offering biomechanical evaluations, gait assessment, casting, and 3D mold scanning to produce orthotics and medical-grade braces designed to relieve pain, improve posture, and prevent injury.

Ideal for:

Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
Flat feet and overpronation
Knee, hip, and lower back alignment issues
Athletic performance and recovery
The doctor prescribed specialty braces
Each orthotic is fabricated using prescription-level materials and personalized based on a detailed functional evaluation—not just a static foot mold.

“Custom orthotics are only as good as the clinician evaluating the mechanics behind them,” said Dr. Shenker. “We integrate strength, mobility, and gait assessments into every orthotic prescription.”

Unlike over-the-counter inserts or retail store scanners, Gramercy’s process involves:

Thorough patient history
Joint mobility screening
Footwear review and wear analysis
Functional testing to assess dynamic alignment
Turnaround time for custom orthotics is typically 10–14 days, with full fitting and usage education provided in person.

Now Offering AFO Brace Fittings for Foot Drop

In response to growing needs in neurological and orthopedic rehabilitation, Gramercy Physical Therapy now offers custom AFO brace fittings for patients with foot drop due to stroke, MS, ALS, nerve injury, or trauma.

The clinic is one of the few in NYC integrating the RehabStride™ AFO—a patented, tension-adjustable ankle-foot orthosis designed to promote safer, more natural walking. The brace is especially effective in restoring dorsiflexion during gait and reducing fall risk.

Benefits of the RehabStride™ AFO include:
Customizable tension support
Lightweight open-frame design
Left/right interchangeability
Compatibility with everyday footwear
Patients receive:

Personalized AFO fitting—virtually or in-person
Gait training with the brace—virtually or in-person
Progress evaluations and return-to-function planning
These services help bridge the gap between orthotic prescriptions and functional recovery—something many patients never receive after injury or surgery.

What Sets Gramercy PT Apart

Located conveniently in the Gramercy Park area near Union Square and Kips Bay, the clinic serves patients across Manhattan, including Midtown East, Flatiron, and the East Village.

Gramercy PT emphasizes:
Longer appointment times (typically 45 minutes)
Low caseload per therapist
Continuity of care with the same provider
Private treatment rooms for focused, distraction-free sessions
Common conditions treated include:

Neck and back pain
Shoulder and rotator cuff injuries
Hip and knee replacements
Sports injuries and running-related pain
Neurological conditions (post-stroke, MS, Parkinson’s)
The clinic accepts most major insurance plans and provides support for out-of-network reimbursement.

Expanding for a Smarter, More Personal Approach to Rehab

As NYC continues to grow and evolve, so does the need for quality, patient-first physical therapy. Gramercy PT’s expanded services reflect a dedication to providing high-level care in a low-volume setting, where outcomes—not just visits—drive the plan of care.

“Physical therapy should feel like it’s about you—not a routine,” added Dr. Shenker. “At Gramercy PT, we build that experience one person at a time.”
