She is very attentive to form and, with that, safety--for example, making sure I pick up even a light weight the correct way to prevent injury. Every workout is a little different, so I never get bored. Maria exudes positive energy and passion, and she really takes care of her trainees -- whether it's making a cup of coffee at the end of an early training session, or doing a little extra stretching, or sending us links to just the right work-out for what we want to improve. I highly recommend Wellness Studio M, whether you're looking to "up your game," try something new, or just work with a very skilled, flexible professional on a specific issue.

I recently completed a 4 month period of physical therapy at the Sloane Stecker location in…read moreLincoln Square after suffering a serious back injury at home. My physical therapist was Roxanne. I want to praise and recognize her very personalized focus and concentration on my specific physical needs and spinal condition. From the very first session until the last, Roxanne assigned me a vast variety of exercises to assist me in my gradual, but steadily progressive recovery from a painful and limiting back injury. I give Roxanne all the credit for the improvements I made in my recuperation. I was especially grateful for her upbeat attitude and very motivating encouragement as I progressed through the therapy sessions. I so enjoyed seeing Roxanne give me a smile and thumbs up sign when I finished a challenging exercise on equipment she chose and assigned to me. I was aware that she was gradually increasing the physical exertion and demands of a specific exercise as my back began responding to the therapy sessions. In addition to her very professional oversight of my therapy sessions, I truly appreciated Roxanne's very friendly and personable interaction with me. It was obvious to me how much she also enjoyed watching her clients make progress and improve. Anyone who needs physical therapy at Sloane Stecker in Lincoln Square will be fortunate and successful if Roxanne is their physical therapist. Kudos to Roxanne for her professionalism, dedication and vast knowledge of physical therapy. She made all the differenc e for me. Ben K.

Sloane Stecker Lincoln Square I am presently 72 years old…read more I began going to Sloane Stecker for physical therapy 2012 when I was 59 and suffering with a painful bursitis in my shoulder. As I have arthritis, since that time I've found occasion to go to other physical therapy studios from time to time for other debilitating conditions. The other studios have been adequate, but Sloane Stecker is the best physical therapy site of I've been to. The clinicians are highly qualified and insightful. They played close attention to the source of pain, the source of weakness, the reason why I am attending physical therapy. In 2019 I returned to Sloane Stecker after 2018 spine surgery and a relapse, hospitalization and stay at rehab. I received physical therapy and during the pandemic I received virtual physical therapy, which was excellent. I've been in physical therapy since then until now in 2025. I found in 2024 my pain was not resolved. I had major spine surgery in September 2024. The expert clinicians at Sloane Stecker Lincoln Square prepared me for my surgery prior. I went in for surgery and then returned to Sloane Stecker Lincoln Square for rehabilitation and I have been there since. My pain from spinal stenosis is resolved and my clinicians, Dr. Grace Kim, DPT, Dr. Devon Merino, DPT and Dr. Kevin Wong, DPT have greatly helped me working on my strength, balance, and endurance. I began with Dr. Grace Kim, DPT 2 months after major spine surgery. She was very thorough but careful. I was hopeful to go overseas to visit my three young grandsons and asked if she might prepare me for the trip. She cautiously watched my progress in therapy and made no promises. I could only respect that, and do the work! I got stronger. We began in November 2024. On January 17, 2025 I boarded a jet for Spain. I returned to the U. S. March 21st and to Sloane Stecker Lincoln Square April 8th. Dr. Devin Marino, DPT evaluated my conditions. There were eval questions and diagnostic tests. The studio has state of the art equipment in-house and they even have some fun and challenging games which build motor skills. Working there is a thrill, and I always feel I am getting stronger and more able when I've been there for my sessions.  Devin assigned me to Dr. Kevin Wong, DPT. I began working with Dr. Kevin Wong, DPT right away after returning from my vacation.  He's always been very attentive to my particular needs.  He's aware that I am working to reacquire balance and strength when walking since major spine surgery.  Kevin gives me specialized strengthening exercises to make my legs stronger and make me more stable on my feet and more confident when I am walking.  He encourages me to work hard in our sessions to improve my health and wellbeing.  He's my cheerleader.  I highly recommend Sloane Stecker Lincoln Square, Dr. Grace Kim DPT, Dr. Devon Merino, DPT, and Dr. Kevin Wong DPT to work with as physical therapists.  You will be in safe hands and in a safe place to get better and stronger while you are healing.  There is no place better.

As…read morea newbie, I immediately experienced a sense of tranquility when I went to the Sunday Love offerings; a wholesome goodness from the very welcoming and friendly members; and I was so impressed that not only did Latin vegan food exist, but it was, as J.J. Evans would have said: dy-no-mite! So, if you're not ready to become a member, you'll feel a warm welcome when you attend the jaw droppingly low-cost hatha yoga classes; the Love Offerings, which include meditations and talks; the fun dances, artistic events, and workshops; and the delicious Sunday lunches (entree, juice, and dessert). If you're looking for a more immersive and spiritual experience, I can attest that becoming a member (receiving my mantra) has made a significant and transformational difference in all aspects of my life. For those of you with practical concerns: my elderly relative (83) recently joined and told me that it has helped with her insomnia, too. (This place is for young and old; children meditate and there are hatha yoga classes for kids on Sundays, too.) So whether you're looking for a positive environment where you can exercise, have some good food, and/or join a discussion about spirituality (sessions are usually in Spanish with English translation in person or via headset) or you're looking for something deeper and more sustainable, I believe this might just be the place for you. Pass it on! ; )

They are continuing their Shukokai journey at the Pearl River dojo, currently getting ready for a World Tournament in South Africa. Each of my boys has benefitted from their training with Sensei Mac in ways that every parent would want to have their child learn. Sensei Mac has given them the confidence and strength of character that they would not have had, if they were not exposed to his tutelage and the experiences the Kimura Shukokai Karate has exposed them to. While there may be other places in and near Pearl River, NY that teach martial arts, none can come close to providing the opportunity that is afforded by this internationally affiliated community that feels like family. Sensei Mac has developed many World Champions, of which my older son became one in 2012. Yet, I treasure that achievement less than the extended family attachment that my children have found in the Pearl River, NY dojo. As a parent, I could not recommend more the Shukokai Karate Center in Pearl River, NY to everyone - young and old.

The physical therapists care about their patients and their progress in getting better. I have been extremely fortunate. I have had consistency in the care provided to me. Gino was my primary PT for my back with Erlin taking care of me when Gino was on vacation. They cared about my well being and my progress. When my back improved and my neck needed attention, I was seen by Alex and then Valentina, who has helped me immensely. I have finally reached the point of being "discharged". That's a good thing. I no longer need formal PT; rather, I will continue my home exercises. The staff at Sloane has cared about my clinical problems and addressed them expertly. Thank you very much.
