Started coming here earlier this year after I started developing some rather debilitating lower back pain from working from home without proper ergonomic office equipment. George was the physical therapist who had first assessed me, and he did such a great job, my back felt immediately better after my session with him. Due to my schedule, I only saw George that one time, and the other times, I saw either Dimple or Patrick. Both of them give great deep tissue massages while patiently guiding you through various exercises, meant to train your muscles and to alleviate the pain you've been feeling. After about a dozen and a half sessions, I felt good enough to stop going in regularly and I still utilize their exercises to prevent any backsliding, no pun intended. If you're in the area, I would highly recommend this clinic as they are all kind, friendly, and they patient. They accept most insurances, and they are very quick to respond to any and all questions you may have. read more

Energize Physical Therapy - Horrible Management. - Physical Therapy Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

I cannot recommend this place enough! Most of the staff is so kind, so caring and very empathetic. I must mention my therapist Victoria is an angel on earth. Shes very experienced and I always walk out without any pain after seeing her. read more

I am, to this day, being harassed/trolled by Patrick Lyo on text who claims to be the owner of the place. According to other accounts, he is not the owner. Dr. Lyo, ostensibly the owner, has also refused me service. He/his non-doctor staff has, on many occasions, caused me jaw degeneration and pain with phone harassment or other methods, giving his honest/well-mannered DPTs more work to do for any patient in my position. The DPTs who are NOT among the office staff or owners of this slimy business do a good job, but you could face notable harassment should you want to see them. read more

Energize Physical Therapy - It's been years... - Physical Therapy Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

An unexpected accident worsened the already frozen shoulder, leaving it incredibly painful to move or lift my right arm, shoulder, and neck, or even endure accidental bumps. Finding the right physical therapist (PT) was crucial. The PT team here is outstanding! Their care and hospitality made me feel truly valued. George, with his constant smile and cheerful "#welcome, welcome!" greetings, along with Dana, Hazel, Ken, and so many wonderful hardworking souls whose names I can't mention, all stood out. The appointments are easy and flexible, very accommodating. After two months of treatments, 2-3 times a week, my pain level went from a 9 to 0 now after 3 months from the accident--such a rewarding outcome! Trust and follow their guidance, and be sure to do the homework at home, don't skip the exercise even it's so heavy and painful, Do as few as possible, but do them often--you won't regret it. read more

Wow! Wow! They are amazing. Sam is from heaven, and Neha is amazing. They will go above and beyond to assist you. The customer service here is phonomenel. Their care quality is perfect. They really care about their patients. I have nothing negative to say. The front desk person is a sweetheart as well. read more

I've been going to Energize Physical Therapy In Queens Boulevard since 2020 great results great performance great Physical Therapy In Queens Boulevard the aids, well knowledgeable and everybody knows what they doing. I recommend this place highly. read more

I found Energize Physical Therapy on Zocdoc, and they're closer to me than the first place I went to in Manhattan. The first thing I noticed is that I was given focused attention instead of being just one stop on an unsupervised round-robin like at the other place. Dr. Lyo's assistant (Mr. Lee I think, that dude works out lol) gave me a thorough explanation of what was going on as my broken arm was healing, and what areas to stretch and work. The stretches and exercises I did felt much more relevant and effective to solving some weaknesses I felt in my arm and hand than my previous physio office. Also, and this is important, there's a bomb Asian bakery next door and I'm now eating a delicious red bean bun. Overall an excellent experience, looking forward to the next! read more

George , Yuri, Katrina, Monica, and Tcha are very hard working I feel like they don't go home they are always there to accommodate and help out. Amazing and experienced therapists. I live in Woodside but come here on queens Blvd because they are awesome! read more

Have been a patient here for the last 2 years on n off and can't recommend this place enough. Everyone is so nice and kind and treat you like family. They listen to your problem patiently and fix it accordingly. Appointments are easy to schedule and move. Love the flexibility of texting and making any changes. David and Walter are my fav. I have recommended this place to all my co workers. read more

I'm overjoyed with the physical therapy I've been receiving from PT Matthew. Not only does he visit me three times a week in my own place but provides me with excellent service. He comes well protected too with body covering (gown), a mask and protective face shield. He has a very kind and gentle demeanor too. I had no idea how many different exercises I could do to improve my knee flexibility (after total knee replacement surgery) Also he uses a massage gun and electrical stimulation. I've seen much improvement in that I can bend my knee with less pain and jog in place and get up from seated position to standing without holding on to the chair. Thank you to Energize PT for providing me with this fantastic service! read more

literally wall-to-wall people only separated by a bamboo, folding divider, a breeding ground for sickness and bacterial infection, which I got. I got no relief from either the knee massage nor the back massage table is a piece of wood, covered by a piece of plastic with a 4" x 4" hole for your nose to stick in it's pathetic all the money these people are making surrounded by all these clients and they do not have the proper equipment. In my opinion. there is another physical therapy directly across the street next time. I will check it out before I make appointments and try it out bc NO AC . Here goes to picture of the so-called massage table. Disgusting. I am disgusted with this place. This is my second review, they had the nerve to take down the first review which, all of which is true this time I will report them to every agency I could find. They are scared of the truth. Well, this time you will be reported to the higher-ups goodbye energize should be called D energize lol. read more

I was pretty hopeless when I first reached out to Energize Physical Therapy. I had tendonitis in both hands developing for A YEAR. A lot of people on the internet say "you can't get better from this if it's been there that long". With a lot of patience, rest - that was encouraged from my PT there, exercises they gave me, and most importantly getting rid of the panic and stress that came with my injury... I am now at a place where I can function again. Not going to lie, I had to put the work in myself - don't expect them to do all the heavy lifting! With the addition of doing my exercises at home that they taught me, stretching, and the great massage they do there - I can confidently say that they not only gave me the tools and encouragement I needed to get better, but also - they have such a positive family oriented vibe there that helps the healing go faster as well. I felt completely shame-free about the fact that I was there for over 5 months - which is a pretty long time for my issue. It took however long it needed to take and they were very patient with my injury. I'm an artist - I was reaching the point I couldn't draw anymore. After being with Energize for 5 months or so, I am drawing 6+ hours a day (with breaks!) and no pain. I have learned how to deal with my tightness when it comes once in a while, and exercises and stretch. This place is awesome. You may be doubtful at first, but hold on - it's really worth the wait. Shoutout to George, Dimple, Davis, and others who helped me along the way! There is no favorite, they all are great :) read more

At a glance, the place seems small, especially when it's busy and there's a lot of people there. But, there's a reason why there's so many people there: The therapists and aides at Energize know exactly what they're doing. I suffered a kneecap dislocation, which resulted in a MPFL surgery later. I heard a lot of horror stories about knee surgery recovery, but thanks to the people at Energize Physical Therapy, my story is a super optimistic one. They work with you, encourage you, and really care about your progress. I'm happy to say my knee is better than it was before the dislocation, and I'm forever grateful! Highly recommended! I already told family and friends about this place, and I'm pretty sure I'll always refer to them if anyone asks me about PT. read more

I love the Elmhurst Energize team - so much so that when my insurance refused any more sessions, I was legitimately sad I wouldn't see the team here weekly. Luckily I've started sessions again and I get my regular dose of happy! Whenever I talk about this place to friends, I tell them it's the perfect microcosm of Queens - the team and even the clients are so diverse and everyone is so kind & welcoming. George, Davis, Jin, the aide (Andre maybe?), Dr. Kang and many other team members whose names I unfortunately don't know off the top of my head are so amazingly warm and a joy to be around. I feel like a VIP every time I walk in - and as someone who works in the hospitality industry, I can tell you Energize truly has 5-star service. read more

This places has a super friendly staff. They try to understand the problem and provide so many different techniques to help you recover.

The therapist who took care of me was nice, maintaining a positive attitude at all times. However, some staff was very rude and I felt offended. Because of that, I'll never come back again. read more

I initially came so I can get another opinion to see if I was ready to back into the gym. When I first came here, I was coming off a left bicep tear and right tennis elbow, and I would say that both have been significantly reduced over the course of a month or two. The location is pretty good-- it's close enough for walking for the residential area around elmhurst and close enough for those who need to get here by subway station. By car, there is plenty of metered parking and this place has a parking card prepared for you. Dr.Mak and Dr.Lyo know what they are doing and are welcoming. After only coming and knowing them for a month or two, id like to consider them good friends of mine. I'd recommend anyone with a nagging injury to stop by for a quick chat and pick at their minds to see what the best solution is. read more

Just finished my last session at Energize Physical Therapy. Superb experience. My first visit was on a Sunday because my back started acting up Friday night and I had a trip on Monday. It was a last second call in and they let me come in, thank goodness for that. Since it was a Sunday, they couldn't confirm my insurance so I paid cash and they later reimbursed me for the difference; no issues there. There was hardly any wait time; walked in and within 15minutes was on a table and this was consistent over 4-5 sessions. I told my issues to Dr. Lyo and he explained why I had them and what he was going to do in order to help me get better. I'm no doctor, but it all made sense and I knew what to do to prevent the same thing from happening again. After my back pains went away, he started to teach me exercises that would strengthen my back/core. And it wasn't just handing me a paper, telling me the rules and send me home. No, he actually did the exercises to show me, then made me do it to make sure I was doing them correctly. I highly value that, and it also reminds me of a famous proverb: "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life." Overall, it was the best experience possible for a very terrible issue. Highly recommend. By the way, Dr. Lyo has the best jokes ever. Please ask. read more

This review is looooong overdue! Dr. Mak and the team were absolutely amazing! I had a decades old shoulder injury that kept coming back to haunt me every few years and usually it takes 6 months to fully heal. I've tried all sorts of remedies throughout the years but nothing sped up my recovery. 6 months out of the game every few years disrupts ones life to no end. With their help I was not only back in fighting shape in 2.5 months but my shoulder feels stronger than ever. I don't feel like I have to be careful with my movements anymore. Whether I'm working out or carrying my three year old daughter I feel strong. I highly recommend Dr. Mak and her team at Energize. Great atmosphere, great care, and great people. What more can you ask for? read more

I am so blessed and happy that I found this place!!! When I came in they reassured me everything is going to be okay. They saw what was wrong with me on paper but they also took the time to genuinely hear about my concerns. That's very important to me especially since my injury made a huge impact on my life. It's been really hard on me but they've always made it easier and I've been making progress! Dr. Lyo, Dr. Mak, and especially my girl Dimple are the best!! Staff is great too and they are very accommodating with the scheduling! A HUGE THANK YOU! Definitely recommend this place! read more

Came in here for physical therapy for my elbows and low back pain due to intense training sessions. Was plagued with golfers elbow in both elbows which made gripping and curling weights painful. Lower back was very tight due to heavy squatting and made certain daily positions such as bending down extremely uncomfortable. Ever since getting therapy here, my elbows and back have been feeling amazing and I'm able to lift heavy weights again, as well as going even heavier. The doctors explained why my condition occurred and went in depth with what they were doing each time I was getting therapy. The methods they use are time tested and truly work wonders. Staff are very friendly and they always play the best music! Highly highly recommend this place if you are dealing with chronic or even acute pain. read more

Are you in pain & looking for a trustworthy Physical Therapist? Well look no more. Energize Physical Therapy consists of dedicated Therapists, ambitious aides, and heart warming receptionists. I ran into their location because I was in need of PT sessions immediately after my appointment with a sports medicine specialist. I called up a few places around Elmhurst that would both - accept my insurance & take me immediately. Energize PT said yes & yes come in today - we open until 8! I was so pleased & do not regret their service at all. My IT Band on both my R&L femur up to my glutes were really bothering me when I walk - in addition to my hips clicking. I didn't know what to do. I came in for 20 sessions within approx 5 months. After the first month- my hips stopped clicking! After all 20 sessions, there was a huge improvement since I was able to strengthen and condition other muscles that were weak - which is the reason why I was straining my IT Band. Energize PT provides their patient with 1on1 care and support in recovering to their fullest potential. Dr. Mak is well educated and treats each of her patients with respect and compassion. She gives useful advice & recommendations. She provides appropriate home stretches that are effective and that I still do today - even after the sessions. The best part is (besides looking forward to my appointment and seeing the wonderful staff) is that after 10 sessions, I got a free PT equipment to use at home!!! Thanks EPT! read more

I had appointment on Saturday at 3pm. I was there 5 minutes earlier but I still need to wait another 20 minutes after I completed the form for the first time patient because the PT was with another patient. When I complaint to the PT that this is a long waiting for someone who already have an appointment. This should not happen again. The PT said I should complaint to the front desk and if I'm not satisfied I should leave. read more

Place is too small. If you want privacy this is not the place to have your therapy. Patients are 2-3 feet away from each other's face, the exercise area is way too small. Place has 5 beds and 4 dividers. Friendly staff. Over crowded 11 patients all at the same time doing exercises when I care in at 10am. Dr. Choi was very good I just didn't like that a lot of staff go around me during each therapy. It's pretty confusing. I had 4 sessions of therapy but will not come back. They have a cancellation policy of 24 hours so they'll slap you with $25.00 fee if you can't make it on your schedule. The receptionist would always ask you when do you come back as soon as you check in. I think that question is asked after the therapy not before. It's my first time to have physical therapy but this place was just too disappointing. It's very chaotic with all the people moving around. A patient hurting won't be focused on their pain but watch all the people walking around them instead! It's not even funny. I also think maybe this is the allotted service I get from the government insurance too! Solution: I get a private insurance or better yet go to another physical therapy place not this chaotic. read more

My mom is suffering from tendonitis. We went to the doctor and they recommended a cortisol injection. After further research, we realize it will only make her condition worse after the shot wears off. Thus we started to search for a nearby physical therapist place. Fortunately, we found one which is this place: only a 5 min walk from where we live! Since I was interested in physical therapy, the human body/ anatomy and I want to see the kind of people that are treating my mom, I decided to go with her and observe. Although the place is very small, it is clean, inviting and has everything you need. We came on a Sunday, so only Dr.Mak and Dr. Lyon were there (the owners). They are an awesome couple and really know their stuff! As I observe, they explain to me how they were treating my mom. They started off with a massage, then used a Electric muscle stimuli, then some rehab exercises and then some KT tape and some lotion at the end. Throughout the whole procedure, they explain to me what they are doing and the importance of it. Also did I mention that Dr. Lyon has some serious humor!?!? Him and his wife are both VERY friendly people. They will make your rehab go by fast and enjoyable. Please give this place a try if you need to see a physical therapist. You won't regret it! read more

I want to thank Patrick and his staff for getting me back to my long daily walks. They are very important to my emotional and physical well-being. I had major foot surgery some 6 months previous, and had been off my left foot completely for approximately 3 months before I could put any weight on it. I thought I could rehab on my own by simply walking every day, but I was wrong. I came in with acute tendonitis in my left foot. It had been my own poor judgment that led to the condition. I thought I could rehab on my own by simply walking every day, but I was wrong. At every session with Patrick, he worked my left foot and leg, having me use muscles that I would not ordinary use in walking. It wasn't easy. I worked hard, and Patrick was completely supportive. I highly recommend Patrick, his wife and his staff. Thanks so much, Ted. read more

This place it great! The staff is always accommodating and helpful and funny. It does get busy and can be crowded but if you are able to work through that then it should not be an issue. My husband and I have been coming here together for a couple of years now and we are loyal fans of Patrick and Celia. read more

Have been seeing Dr. Lyo for a little over a week because of pain in right shoulder. Dr. Lyo is very friendly, caring, and knowledgable. Answers questions, takes interest in his patients.

The last time I went was pretty busy with all the tables filled, but they did their best to accommodate me! Multiple aides, assistants, and therapists working from this site. read more

If you're looking for incredible quality service i highly recommend Energize Physical Therapy and ask for Dimple. Dimple puts all her effort in making you feel comfortable and most importantly helps you heal. I came in barely able to walk a block due to my lower back issues and I'm practically back to my normal self ... read more

I've tried different physical therapy places to treat my back pain since giving birth and carrying an off-chart baby for one year, then I came across Energize and loved everything about it, Dr Lyo and Dr Mak are very professional and they have the best bedside manner! This place is super busy every time I came here but they are so patient and sweet and detail-oriented, they made sure every patient receives proper treatment, each time I walk out of the door feeling like a whole new person after receiving the deep massage, bumping gun, electronic pads and the cooling gel. Already recommended this place to my friends:) read more

Decided to come here based on all the great reviews and they did not disappoint. I highly, highly recommend this place! I injured my ankle playing soccer and months passed without it getting any better. Decided to come and get PT. Best decision I made. After 5 weeks I was able to start playing sports again and my ankle is the strongest it's ever been! I cannot recommend this place enough. If you need physical therapy or think it might help out with a nagging injury, this is the place that will help you get better! read more

Special thanks to dr George, his firm hands make him treat the pain quickly and proficiently..he doesn't go cheap at all when it comes to hands on treatments. His methods are changing and innovative according to the pain ..You can expect different techniques each time so it's far from dull or repetitive. Way to Go George! read more

Hi, I highly recommend anyone who is seeking quality, care, and knowledge from a Physical therapist; "who actually cares". My experience at Dr. Patrick office has been marvelous. They focus extensively on treating my neck, and back spasms. They were very knowledgeable explaining my injury in a detailed and patient enough to educated me on different preventive measures for future injuries. Finally, the warm family environment in this establishment made me feel supported, comfortable, and confident in my recovery. Now, I am free of pain, and able to perform my daily activities cheerfully. Thank you, Energize Physical Therapy team. Keep up the great work guys!! read more

When I first met with Dr. Lyo for my first appointment, he told me that I would probably need therapy for about 2 months. I'm so happy to say that it's been about one month and I'm feeling so much better. I had a muscle spasm that was literally impeding my every day routines and lifestyle. Dr. Lyo's advice along with his therapy helped me vastly. I would recommend him and his staff to any one that has physical therapy needs. Everyone was super nice and helpful, I always looked forward to my therapy sessions. The setting is very comfortable, friendly and laid back. read more

I first started going to Energize Physical Therapy for my lower back. That was almost two years ago, and now I barely experience any back pain at all. Between the therapy that they did and what they taught me, my back is not the same as it was before I started going here. It is so much stronger. When my boyfriend needed a physical therapist I sent him here. When I needed two surgeries on my knee, and was told I would be doing an aggressive physical therapy approach, I knew just where I was going back to. I had surgery on my knee for the first time in November and the first week I came to Energize was definitely the worse week for my recovery. I was in pain and barely able to do a straight leg raise. Completely discouraged, I actually started crying while I was in the office. They closed off my section and the assistants were so patient and kind and understanding. They encouraged me to keep trying, and they reassured me that I would in fact get better, even though I didn't believe it. After 6 weeks of crutches and another 6 weeks of crutches/cane combo, I slowly regained my strength. Straight leg raises are barely a warm up for me now, because each week of full sessions just makes me stronger. The swelling in my knee has significantly reduced. The muscle strength i lost is slowly being regained back. And I can contribute a massive amount of my success to Energize. Every single therapist, and assistant, as well as the assistants that make appointments, are so important and so kind and you can tell they love what they do. They give all the healing energy, the tools and the knowledge you need to succeed, you just have to bring determination and yourself! read more

This is my first time writing a review but I think the customer service and professionalism in this establishment is exceptional. I started with Dr. Leo and now I'm with Dimple. Dimple is amazing at her job she is very professional and cares about her patients and their health. I went from not being able to stand by myself to walking. I really recommend Energize Physical Therapy for pain management. read more
