Dr Burtman is the best! I'm a fitness instructor myself as well as an avid runner, and went to her with a little help on posterior tib tendiopathy. She listened to me, answered my questions, and explained what was happening in a way that not only made sense, but actually helped me help others in my career. She's super available to answer questions and gave me a comprehensive plan of attack to get back running ASAP. THANKS LEXI!!!! read more

Was unable to get my DPT to use firm pressure. Felt like we were having personal check-ins rather than pt sessions so I discontinued after 6 session. Over two years after services were delivered, Clutch has started harassing me for an outstanding repayment they missed to inform me about. My advice for new customers is to understand your insurance and how they intend to collect so you don't end up in the situation that I have. Cannot recommend. read more

Clutch Physical Therapy - Email communication - Physical Therapy Near Me - New York, New York

My kids, ages 12 and 14, have been going to Clutch for small class strength and conditioning workouts all year and it has been a really great way to get stronger. They are staffed by physical therapists and they focus on mobility/prehab, strength training, speed and agility work that athletes need for their individual sports. My kids are well conditioned and have not injured themselves since attending their weekly workouts with Coach Ken! read more

The only physical therapy that truly helped me get back to 100% (and I've been to 3 before this one). What makes Clutch different is: A) 1-1 care; you see the same PT each time for 45m without other patients B) Emphasis on sport specific treatments. Great place for athletes / people who love to workout, but also anyone looking to feel better C) Personal treatment plans that elvolve as you recovery - unlike other PTs that give you a packet of print outs with random exercises Recommend Dr. Dom - super knowledgeable, systemic, and efficient in his diagnoses and recovery plans. read more

Ray did a great job on my kids shoulder injury. The facility is clean, modern and the scheduling is so easy. Everything about Clutch is wonderful. read more

Ray was a great PT and helped me to make a lot of progress in resolving my costochondritis!

Dom helped me with a pinched nerve in my neck a few months ago. I had debilitating pain from the nerve which radiated down my right side but after a few sessions (and some trial and error) with Dom, I was able to function mostly normally. Currently pain free and have some useful exercises to hopefully remain that way. read more

Went to Ray with persistent, crippling pain in my left elbow (lateral epicondylitis). Ray ran through diagnostics to establish a baseline and worked with me over a several month period to strengthen my elbow. Highly skilled at his craft. In addition, he is quite personable and works to customize his approach to your needs. read more

Clutch is my go-to for PT. Most recent injury involved my knee, and I was treated by Ray Delacruz. He is knowledgeable, professional and personable. Treatment was thorough and follow-up was excellent. Thanks to Ray I'm back to running and pain-free. I highly recommend Ray and the team at Clutch. read more

Josh has been an integral part of my racing life for 5 years now. He has been central to me completing 3 Full Ironman races, multiple half-Ironmans and marathons. I have had multiple issues with my ankles and knees. Each time he has not only helped treat the pain, but also given me exercises to use that further help heal and strengthen. I've gone to other PTs, but Josh simple knows how to solve the problems, he is the best. Highly recommend ClutchPT for any aspiring athlete in need of great care and the tools to get it done. read more

I can't recommend Clutch PT enough. I worked with Ray for five months. I came in for lingering achilles issues that a PT from another practice wasn't able to rectify. Within a few sessions I saw marked improvement. Ray helped pinpoint the issue and addressed my achilles as well as some hip tightness that was exacerbating the issue. Ray was great about sending all the exercises we went over via email or recording them so I could refer to them when working on my own which was really helpful. I just completed my first half since my injury and I wouldn't have gotten to the start line without the help of Ray and Clutch PT. read more

Clutch is a wonderful practice. I've been seeing Ray, and the best part of the practice is that they see you one-on-one, and don't just treat the symptoms. The push is to alleviate pain, keep it from happening again, and that means checking out what has been impacted as your body adapted to protect itself. The time may be longer than other PT places, but I know that I'm less likely to re-injure myself in the same way. read more

I went to Clutch PT to rehab a very severe grade 3 high ankle sprain from hiking, and I couldn't be happier! Ray was my PT, and he is fantastic, knowledgeable, and caring, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone. My ankle sprain was so severe that I couldn't even bear weight for the first month and had to be on crutches. At the 6 week mark, my orthopedic surgeon gave me the green light to start PT. Ray was highly recommended to me by a friend, and I am so glad that I chose Clutch for my recovery journey. When I first started, I was still limping and not walking properly (couldn't even manage stairs either). Ray had me do exercises to fix my gait and improve my range of motion. After 2 weeks, I was already seeing a huge improvement in the way I walked. By week 4, I was walking pretty normally and could even balance on my bad leg. I was so amazed at my progress! Fast forward to week 11, and at my final session I could run on the treadmill, do box jumps, and squat while balancing on a bosu. Ray was great at slowly progressing me to these more advanced moves, and each week felt better and better. I highly recommend Clutch, you get 45 minutes of 1-on-1 care (worth every penny) and I can't praise them enough for their expertise and care. read more

As an athlete, I felt I was in such great hands with Josh. I saw him prior to my first marathon and received excellent care. I'd highly recommend him to anyone! read more

I researched every PT in upper east side when I stumbled upon Clutch therapy. Raymond has been my PT since I was placed into a cam boot for a partial tear in my ankle. I knew my diagnosis going in and I came out understanding exactly what I needed to do to get better. As a young active person my injury was frustrating. Ray was extremely knowledgeable and explained my injury every step of the way. Not only does he evaluate the injury but the whole body's mechanics. After seeing plenty of doctors, Raymond was someone I could trust. He gave me hope and confidence as I became stronger. I highly recommend anyone recovering from an injury to see Raymond. He is an expert in the field and has a holistic approach to his care. I am so grateful to have found Clutch PT. Along with Raymond, the clutch family is welcoming and supportive. The space is private and also has a gym. This was my second PT through my recovery I can say I felt a world of a difference. You feel like a real person! read more

I've been seeing Ray for almost two months now, weekly. I had a nagging pain in my leg that prevented me from sleeping at night, which has been close to completely alleviated in the short time we've been working together. Ray is smart, thorough and a pleasure to be around. I'd recommend him and Clutch PT to anyone looking to rehabilitate from an injury. read more

The team at Clutch is excellent at what they do. Having worked with Josh for a few years on and off, I am grateful for them always being there to help me out when my body is not 100%. If you have aches and pains come get them checked out with Clutch! read more

These guys are very helpful and knowledgeable! I came in with a foot problem that they addressed in the first session giving me tools and and advice how to help myself and what to do! I appreciate that! Being in fitness industry myself i know from the start when people know what they are talking about in terms of body and recovery Highly recommend these guys read more

I used to love running, but over the past 2 years I have been struggling with injury and pain. First it was torn meniscus, then surgery to remove a bone spur on my foot had me limping around the city which gave me major hip problems. I started working with Ray and he took me all the way back to the basics. We are retraining my muscles to work together properly and get my alignment and core strength back. Today I had my first pain free day in YEARS. I still have a lot of work to do to get to running again, but without Ray and the CLUTCH team I would have given up. Everyone there really cares, and listens to your personal goals and you work together to get there. Ray is really fun and knows his sh*t. Go! read more

This is the second time I've had Joshua Grahlman help me with my injuries and he has been impeccable. I'm an athlete and thankfully he was fast and efficient. All I can ask for. Super friendly guy and very well informed. There wasn't a single question where I didn't receive an answer. The exercises he gave me were extremely helpful and I'm already back to being able to practice (in 1 week). There's nothing negative I can say about him as a Physio Therapist or any of the staff at the desk. I highly recommend! Also... given the current state of the world due to COVID, they couldn't have been better in terms of keeping everything sanitized and spread apart read more

Ray, Ray, he's my man, if he can't fix it...well, luckily he's been quite the fixer! This place is great.

I honestly am floored by the speed of my recovery with Clutch PT. I was injured for months and saw another PT because of convenience the whole time, which I knew in my gut wasn't really doing anything. I did a virtual session with Dr. Josh, who gave me a 10 min routine with the exercises I needed most, and 2 weeks later, I was running with no pain. In one month, I'm back to hard training efforts and running sub 6 pace off the bike. I knew he was GOOD, but what kind of voodoo witchcraft are you guys pulling over there?! The other PT was pushing toward MRI, PRP, etc. But Josh's approach was to inquire about my history and training habits, and surmised it was more likely a chronic issue that those other costly treatments would not necessarily fix. He honed in on the problem with a prescription of the proper movements, and it got blood flow going again. I could literally feel it getting stronger every day. Thank you for saving me from going down an expensive rabbit hole of a bunch of tests and alternate treatments I didn't need! read more

Everyone at Clutch is great, but my PT Ray is awesome! Ray has a way of translating his intricate knowledge into bite sized, accessible lessons. In this way, he helps you understand why you might be in pain, and what you can do to avoid it in the future. In addition to these little lessons, his hands on technique is absolutely amazing for melting away muscle tension. read more

Dr. Josh is an excellent care provider. He provided clear and concise instructions, explained what he was doing and why, and was always available if I had questions. He made the training and recovery regimen supportive and interesting, and after a few weeks of care my injury felt far better than it had in a long time. Now, I am running again, and couldn't be happier. Highly recommended. read more

I've thoroughly enjoyed and benefitted from my sessions with Ray over the past couple months for shoulder and hamstring problems. When I initially reached out in January I spoke to Julie via email and over the phone, and she was immensely helpful in figuring out whether my insurance would cover sessions. Unfortunately my insurance did not cover the cost, but Clutch offered a nice five-pack that helped to reduce the per session cost. Ray did a thorough evaluation during our first session and I felt he really understood my mechanics and the reasons why I was experiencing the pains I had. He does a great job of explaining how the exercises he prescribes target and improve my weak areas. I would absolutely recommend Ray and Clutch PT overall! read more

As a gym owner I've worked with many PT's. Josh and his team have helped not just me but many of clients, including some VIP clients of mine, They are super professional, their services are great and effective. read more

This past June I suffered a debilitating inversion sprain to my ankle playing basketball when I landed on someone's foot following a leap for a rebound. I had sprains before from basketball and usually bounced back quickly. I tried doing my own workouts and three months later I had made no progress and was still unable to jog/jump. I had never felt so limited athletically in all my years of running track, playing ball, and working out at the gym. I finally decided that I was in need of a professional. I did some research and got some great reviews from others who had been to Clutch PT and who had similar goals to me - getting back to my former athletic self. I started a rigorous regiment with Dr. Grahlman that took me from being barely able squat down and pick up things to being able to run and sprint and even jump! I am happy to say that I have also started to trust my ankle enough to play basketball. Dr Grahlman wealth of knowledge in sports related injuries and how to treat them brought me back my confidence. He was great at coaching a very impatient person like myself and helped me approach my physical therapy on my ankle iteratively and carefully. Thanks! read more

Everyone at Clutch PT played a huge part in my success at the NY Marathon a couple weeks ago. I came in from California dealing with some glute and hamstring issues and I was referred to Josh to help me after my long flight.. I saw him twice before the race and then saw Ray after the race and I cant thank them both of enough for helping me get to that starting line in great shape and helping the recovery process. Josh gave me special stretches to help pre- race and even some quick tips on activating glutes once I got in the corals. They are so wonderful!!! I wish I lived closer! read more

I am fortunate enough to have experienced top notch care at Clutch PT for MULTIPLE injuries over several years. Between a nasty and nagging hamstring injury one year, and a pretty brutal case of a work from home stiff shoulder/neck/entire upper body situation when COVID struck, my issues have always been attended to with precise attention and a gentle (or in some cases, NOT so gentle) touch when I needed it most!! Thanks Team Clutch PT! read more

Ray was very knowledgeable, attentive, communicative and gave a great physical therapy experience. He assessed my issues and put an organized rehab strategy together for me. As a fitness professional myself, I valued the time he spent with me and will continue to see Ray to address my future needs. read more

I used to be a triathlete but my body was not built to be a triathlete. The physical therapists at Clutch have nursed me back to health when I was at my fittest and now that I'm in a different kind of shape (potato shaped), they are still fixing my bod. Five years later and I still love Clutch. If you've acquired some aches and pains during COVID, please consider them. Their safety procedures are up to code and you will feel much better!!! Support this amazing small business. read more

Clutch PT and Ray are absolutely amazing! Ray is so knowledgeable about what athletes (and wanna-be athletes like myself) need to do to strengthen the muscles that are necessary to work out pain-free. I saw Ray once a week for about 4 months and he was able to show me which exercises I needed to do at home, help create more mobility in my shoulder and ultimately aide my recovery from injury. I've been to other PTs in the past for a variety of injuries, and Clutch is the best of the bunch. Clutch also takes its COVID protocols seriously - temperature checks, hand sanitizer, masking and limiting the number of people in the facility. I highly recommend Ray and Clutch PT. read more

I love the staff, the energy, and the place! I highly recommend Clutch PT. They are very easy to communicate with both in person and over the phone. I had no issues making an appointment and getting my insurance approved. Lauren at the front desk was extremely helpful and kind. Thank you , Clutch PT:) read more

Josh is an awesome physical therapist. I was referred to him through my chiropractor after I strained a muscle. Josh was so informative and educated. He knew the exact exercises that I needed to heal and also gave me a plan of attack for preventative measures going forward. After only a few sessions with Josh I was back to new. I will absolutely go back to Josh if I ever encounter problems in the future and I highly recommend him to friends, family, my clients and for anyone looking for a great physical therapist in NYC.

I decided to go to Clutch and right away I knew I was in good hands. Jane is a great PT, she really helped me through therapy. After the first week or so I already saw a difference in my shoulder and was in a significantly less amount of pain. She showed me difference exercises I could do at home and after 6 weeks with Jane I can say I have little to no shoulder pain. Thank you! read more

Knowledgable, talented and fairly priced physical therapist. I have all sorts of joint and muscle issues, and I've been to lots of physical therapist over the years. None has helped me as much as Josh with stretching and strengthening my shoulders, hips, legs and back. He knows his stuff. He even helped a triathlete get back in the game, despite the man's having almost given up because no prior PT had ever been able to address his issues. Even if Josh is not on your insurance plan, it's worth the money for him to assess you and give you a game plan you can follow at home. read more

After I injured my back two years ago I wasn't able to walk for almost two months. But after seeing Josh and doing my homework exercises I am back to working out again and have no pain at all. I credit him with my full recovery. read more

Dr. Joshua Grahlman has built a boutique physical therapy clinic that prioritizes patients and athletes above everything else. I primarily work with Dr. Jane Ignatova. I'm a running addict! Jane has worked extensively on my left hip, allowing me to comfortably train and complete marathons in my mid-forties. I love the Clutch approach to an office visit which always includes a quick status check, a thorough and uninterrupted period of manual manipulation, followed by stretching and exercises. Jane is working with me now to recover from a multi-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). If you are an active person and understand that your body will always need maintenance, go see doctors Jane and Josh - I cannot recommend them enough! read more

I was introduced to Josh by my dr at the Hospital for Special Surgery and he was one of only two Physical Therapists that were given to me so I knew he was going to be special from beginning. Although I've only been seeing him for a few months, I've already noticed a difference in my day to day pain. I've had hip/back/neck pain for more than 10 years and have been dozens of physical therapists/chiropractors in that time but what separates Josh from the other is his technique and ability to pin point where your pain/issues originate from. He's given me exercises and self-release techniques that have significantly helped me reduce acute pain. The other day, he did an gnarly Psoas release and relieved me of some acute lower back pain in a way that I haven't ever felt before. Long story short, really happy with Josh! read more

I spent the most part of 2019 unable to run due to severe Plantar Fasciitis and the second half of 2019 unable to swim or bike due to a shoulder separation from a bike accident. Despite also spending 2019 at a variety of very reputable PT establishments and making progress, I was unable to get back to training confidently and without pain. I vowed to make positive changes in 2020, so I tried Clutch-PT, although I began with a fair amount of skepticism. Julie Lamb, who first introduced me to Clutch, told me that Clutch would not just get me back to my previous baseline but actually help me surpass it! I was assigned to Ray Delacruz and was immediately impressed with his quick attunement, easygoing style, and understated but superior understanding of the body and PT interventions. Within 2 months, I was already back to racing (2 NYRR races already under my belt) and soon to be running again in the NYC Half. I am now pain-free and quickly reclaiming my confidence, strength, & speed. Thank you so much, Ray & Clutch, for your expertise and giving me the results I had been hoping for! I look forward to continue working with Clutch to not only keep me healthy, but also surpass previous limitations! read more
