Great place to go if you have been suffering from dizziness for a long time and tried other physical therapists and they didn't help. Nathan was the man , great guy. read more

Dr. Ellery Russian and her associates and staff are first rate. Capable, caring and patient centric. We are grateful to have found them. Kudos!! read more

I got charged $600 in excess fees when i started, I wouldnt have caught it unless i was reviewing my credit card bills. My therapist refused to massage my calf when it was in pain (although he is supposed to) and was not compassionate at all. read more

My therapist here is excellent and I have received great care from him. I started seeing him at a different practice and when he changed jobs, I followed him here. 5 stars for him, but this review is for the practice itself. The administrative side is a nightmare and their policies and procedures make no sense; they don't seem to understand insurance requirements at all. There were issues from the start, small stuff at first, like they cancelled an appointment and didn't tell me until I arrived at the office. I won't list everything, but I was willing to overlook it because I was receiving good care. Then I got a call from Equilibrium asking for an updated referral from my doctor. I have never experienced this with other practices, which use the existing referral for as long as necessary, but I was fine with getting a new one if necessary. I had some questions, specifically what information I should get updated since the expiration date on my existing referral was not for several months, so I was transferred to the office manager. She was immediately hostile and threatening. She threatened to cancel all my appointments unless I sent them a new referral literally the same day they made the request. She wouldn't budge despite the fact that my insurance had never denied coverage, and despite the fact that I was more than happy to pay out of pocket if necessary and told her this repeatedly. She claimed they previously left a message, which they didn't, but outright refused to tell me the time is was allegedly left. Questions were met with her complaining about having to be on the phone with me and threatening to terminate the conversation. I see a LOT of healthcare providers and while administrative hiccups are common, I have never been treated with the level of rudeness and lack of basic courtesy I encountered here. After posting a similar review on another platform, I received a call from Equilibrium within minutes. Rather than addressing any of my concerns, they told me that unless I deleted the review they would refuse to see me again. OK bye! I guess that explains their high rating -- they squash any criticism by refusing service. read more

Coordinating appointments and follow-ups has been way more difficult than it should be. Staff can be rude and care more about getting paid than patients' well-being. read more

This is an exceptional place for physical therapy. Everyone is very caring and very effective. My orthopedist can't believe how well I am doing in such a short period of time. I like the fact that it is individualized attention and the therapists don't flit from person to person. They are with you the whole time. The front desk is accommodating and helpful. The space is pleasant and you do not feel like you are on an assembly line. The therapists spend a full 45 min with you. This is my favorite place for PT and I have been to many over the years. read more

... I have been a patient of Equilibrium Physical Therapy on and off for the last year; the aching back is hereditary and a recurring weakness. My visit to this office has been an incredible experience. I have had physical therapy most of my adult life but none can compare to what I experienced at EPT. I was given a broader perspective of how to heal the body and to feel in control of measures to remedy problems on my own. Learning to look at the therapy from this point of view facilitated my recovery. The staff is a group of remarkable professionals who bring depth and comprehension to appropriate programs they create for each individual patient. It is not the usual therapy for sure. I commend Matt and his staff for their remarkable achievements. read more

I had a very difficult problem to resolve, as it was an illness that was hard to diagnose. The physical therapists that worked with me were all very knowledgeable , impressively so, and my equilibrium problem was resolved within the time period that they said it would be. I was very much relieved and thankful that I had found this place. The whole staff that I dealt with was very professional, and that includes the receptionists also, who were very accommodating to my schedule. read more

Been there 9 times with 2 different problems. Everyone is excellent, you get the best care. For both problems, I had excellent results and had no more pain or dizziness. I would definitely recommend them & will go back in the future if I have anymore problems. read more

Matt Rome is superior. Thorough, knowledgable, patient, professional, friendly- AMAZING!!! The staff is also incredibly helpful and welcoming!!! A GEM! read more

I have been working with Mikayla at Equilibrium for about 3 months now. After sustaining a traumatic ankle fracture it was hard for me to believe I would ever walk again, much less get back to my regular activities. In the early parts of my recovery Mikayla was a huge source of positivity and encouragement for me. She filled me with hope that I would be functional again. We have had a lot of fun getting me back on two feet! Equilibrium is a top notch facility for your PT needs. Appointments are 45mins long to give you very personalized care. I love that they have specialty equipment, like the AlterG treadmill, and the staff is always warm and professional. The owner, Matt, is extremely kind and is often in the office seeing clients. I would highly recommend you visit! read more

I had suffered from BPPV (a form of vertigo) for 2 months before making my way over to Dr. Matthew Rome at Equilibrium. I found him on Google and that was a godsend. Up until then I had managed by avoiding as best I could activities that triggered my vertigo (a room-spinning sensation). I was able to stop the spinning fairly quickly (within a minute or 2) by changing my head position. And if I ever couldn't stop the spinning, I had medicine (Meclizine) at the ready. Yet, I felt far from well or normal, for the spinning was triggered several times daily anyway: when lying down, bending over, tilting my head back to look up, turning my head too quickly, etc. And there were bad days too, when my head felt very heavy/woozy, and I moved about in slow-motion, or in which my balance was off enough that I'd need to walk with my legs spread wide (drunken-like) for stability and safety. At Matt's clean, bright office, he gave me the BPPV lowdown, went about his work to find the inner ear canals involved and then performed the vestibular therapy of head-positioning treatments. He confirmed more fully my BPPV diagnosis, which it turned out involved inner canals in BOTH ears. Matt communicated & listened very well. He was just the right mix of sensitive to my condition on any given day, yet, like a good trainer, still encouraged me to try to take the extra step up for my own benefit. It was rough at the beginning when I was in my worst shape, moving my head this way and that, but I steadily improved in the course of my treatment (5 visits across several weeks). Today, a month since our last session, I don't have the spnning, I move normally, and I don't avoid activities. After our first session, me (and my crystals ;) were quite shaken up, and it gave me pause to sit in the waiting room with a new unease. But Matt had said I should recover in 30-45 minutes, and very possibly feel better as the day progresses. He was spot on. Each day I did feel better, and the recovery time I needed at our last session was nill. Matt's a delightful individual, as well, with very good bedside manner. I felt very safe in his care, trust him, and will return to him if I have a recurrence in the future. read more

I saw Matt recently about an ongoing foot issue, and he was extremely knowledgable, professional and also friendly. I've spoke to other doctors about the problem, but with Matt it felt like we were finally getting to the issue at hand. I can't wait to get the orthotics that he custom fit for me. The whole staff is helpful and nice. It's a great atmosphere and I highly recommend it. read more

I went to Matt (owner) with a knee problem about 10 years ago and he was great! When I now discovered my current neck issue I tracked him down to his new business and he put me together with Michaela, who is wonderful. She is knowledgeable, thorough, and delightful. I am progressing along and very thankful. I can highly recommend Matt, Michaela, and Equilibrium! read more

a week ago I was seen by therapist Matthew Rome, for vestibular issues. after comprehensive questioning , he put the video googled on my eyes and stated that he would like to check my eyes. then without any warning he started shaking my head for 30 seconds, and despite me protesting it - continued. Two hours later I developed severe positional dizziness and now scheduled for an appointment with the neck surgeon. needless to say, my severe positional dizziness persists. read more

I had my first physical therapy visit with Garry Cowell PT, DPT, OCS. Garry was very professional and warm. He gave me a thorough exam even though I was a bit late. I highly recommend this office. Unfortunately this is my last visit as they are out of network for my insurance provider but they were very acommodating with setting me up with an appointment quickly along with pricing for my initial visit. read more

Equilibrium Physical Therapy has treated my vertigo several times. Vertigo never goes away permanently and I am lucky to know that Equilibrium PT is been able to help me each time it comes back. Equilibrium PT have always recognized the urgency when I call them with an acute dizziness -- They adjust their schedule and seem to get me in for treatment whenever needed. They also do all the work with my insurance company to find out about my coverage. The office is lovely and the people are friendly and professional. Plus, they are good at what they do! read more

I got a very positive referral to Matt Rome by two people who went with him to Duke Med School, where he graduated summa cum laude. I figured he must be pretty capable if his fellow students admired and recommended him. I was not disappointed. I went to Matt to strengthen my ankle after I had torn a ligament there, and I've been seeing him for the past 2 months. I always felt that I was getting advice from someone who cared deeply about his patients and his work. Matt is very patient and takes the time to explain your condition and how the exercises he recommends will help. At every visit, Matt modified the session based on how my ankle was doing. Whether I was working with Matt or with his trainer (also Matt), I always received their exclusive attention -- I was never crowded into a room with several other clients, as happens at other PT offices. Matt is someone who is truly excited about his profession. He started Physical Therapy Nation to provide training on advanced PT concepts to his colleagues. In addition, his enthusiasm for helping his patients just shines through in his personality. read more

I've been going to Equilibrium since it opened several years ago, had been going to another Physical Therapist before then. The physical therapists there give more focused and individualized therapy to patients, more than any other PT facility I've been to before. They are extremely accommodating to fit patients schedules and have state of the art training equipment. My favorite piece of equipment is the Anti Gravity treadmill. It helped get back to running at a gradual pace by using state of the art technology to reduce body weight while learning how to run again. Recommend for anyone needing PT on Shoulders, Knees or Ankles! Dr Matt Rome is the best of the best! read more

Everyone at Equilibrium PT has done a great job in helping me overcome my sprained ankle quickly and effectively. Matt Rome did a wonderful job doing hands on work on my ankle and giving me exercises to work on a home. His PT tech, Matt Cornell, would lead me through exercises after my time with Matt Rome and he was great to work with as well. This is a great studio, with a courteous and professional staff, that works to get you active again quickly. I cant recommend it highly enough. read more

I came to Equilibrium Physical Therapy as a patient suffering from undiagnosed vertigo. After spending 24 hours in the hospital with no confirmed diagnosis upon discharge, I was told to follow up with a vestibular physical therapist. I found Equilibrium PT from a google search and was very pleased with my entire experience. The receptionist was able to help me schedule an appointment with Matthew Rome, the owner and vestibular therapist on site within one week's time. Matthew was an exceptional therapist, from his ability to listen to my story and decipher what was potentially wrong to his ability to explain things in a manner that was easy to understand. Having vertigo makes one very anxious, and he is skilled and knowledgeable in a way that makes you feel at ease and comfortable in his hands. Might I add there was no wait time, he saw me for the full hour despite my being the last patient of the day, and the room I was in was clean and private. I truly felt I had his undivided attention which is rare in the PT world. After a battery of tests including using vestibular goggles to diagnose my issue, Matthew was able to determine exactly what was wrong with me and give me a treatment plan I felt confident in. He assured me that I would eventually return to normal and made me so confident in his diagnosis that I did not follow up with an MD. Matthew is very caring, compassionate and knowledgeable and I would and have recommended his practice to everyone I know in need of vestibular PT. read more

I just completed a 2 month post-op rehab for my hip surgery (removal of bone spurs and hip resurfacing) at Equilibrium. This is the easiest 5 star review I could ever write. What a fantastic experience. I worked with Steven Lavender and he was AMAZING. He has more working knowledge of human physiology than anyone I've ever known. He's also the nicest and funniest dude you'll ever meet. I went in for rehab, and left with SOOO much more. He took the time to literally rebuild my posture and my walk from scratch. I'll be able to take what he taught me and be able to use it for the rest of my life. I've been told by doctors for the past five years that eventually I would need a hip replacement, and I just accepted that as fact. Steven showed me that that was totally untrue, and that by correcting my posture, there's a good chance I'll never need to have that surgery. The facilities are very well kept, clean etc, and the overall vibe in the place is warm, friendly, and family like. The entire staff at Equilibrium is top notch. I cannot say enough good things about Steven and everyone at Equilibrium. Thank you so much!!!!! read more

I had knee surgery and have been seeing Matt for about six weeks now. I originally went in for a meniscus tear but ended up having work done to address right knee plica syndrome, chondromalacia of the patella and patella femoral maltracking syndrome. Matt helped me catch an early onset case of cellulitis. It was my first time having surgery so I wouldn't have known how to recognize an oncoming infection. The surgery addressed a few issues and Matt has done a great job at addressing all the areas that need work. From stretching to improving mobility to plyometrics work, Matt always knows how far to push. Amir is also great and has been very knowledgeable with the Alter-G machine to help me get back to running. Equilibrium's therapists are all incredibly intelligent and are always sharing the reasoning of what they are doing and why they are doing it. They know the right questions to ask which is great for newer patients who might not know what information to volunteer. The facilities themselves are clean, very modern and I genuinely enjoy my time there. An hour literally flies by in the blink of an eye. I have recommended Matt's practice to a few people and would be happy to continue doing so. read more

Equilibrium Physical Therapy has given me my life back!I was so fortunate to find this exceptional physical therapy center and Steven Lavender.Steven is so knowledgeable about the human body and I look forward to my sessions with Steven and just being in such a warm friendly and happy environment ! Steven has rehabbed my badly broken wrist with its plates and pins as well as a tendinitis issue in my shoulder and they and I feel like new! Anyone who,needs any physical therapy would be so thankful to find this truly extraordinary and professional place! Nothing like equilibrium Physical Therapy anywhere,I know,I have had experiences in other physical therapy situations as well as major hospitals! Equilibrium is the very best! read more

I have had the great opportunity to meet the most caring physical therapist I have encountered after many years of surgeries and aftercare..Dr. Madison Oak at Equilibrium PT.. takes care of the whole person..She is both smart and very concerned that I get back my strength and confidence that was sorely missing..for the first time ever a PT has emailed me on her own time to see how I was doing.. I'm so grateful to have come to Equilibrium and worked with Dr.Oak..she is a very special person and I will always look to her for my PT needs.. read more

Mark is terrific. I'd recommend him to anyone without hesitation. His open, personable style immediately put me at ease. And he's someone who truly listens, realizing everyone is different and needs a customized, not a cookie-cutter, solution. I really appreciated the extra value Mark added by explaining how my issue had affected my body, showing his knowledge and giving me the tools to better manage my pain in the future. read more

This is a wonderful practice, fully focused on the needs of their patients. From a welcoming space, to a great front office, to extremely knowledgeable and compassionate therapists - you'll be glad you came... read more

My orthopedist recommended Jonas at Equlibrium Physical Therapy for treatment of tendonitis in my right shoulder. My experience thus far is extremely positive. The offices are comfortable, the front desk staff is friendly and helpful, and my appointments have always started on time. Jonas is a careful listener, explains the treatment in terms I can understand, and responds to all questions. I highly recommend Equilbrium! read more

This is a really wonderful place. You come there and everyone is shining with smiles, friendly, nice, ready to help, and excellent at what they do. I had a serious neck surgery recently and was worried about starting physical therapy, knowing how fragile my body and my neck were. I was so lucky to find this place, where everyone is so knowledgeable and really wants to help and take care of you. Matt Rome is brilliant. He is a superb physical therapist and a person of the highest caliber. Polina is also amazing. She is a highly knowledgeable, experienced massage therapist. One of the best massages of my life was with her. The office staff is very warm and makes it easy to make an appointment. This place is a gem for healing. It is truly as good as it gets. read more

I've never felt compelled to write a negative review for a healthcare-related business, but I've never had as awful of an experience as I did at Equilibrium Physical Therapy. For a business that ostensibly exists to help heal people who are in pain, I have to say that I did not feel well cared for either with the administration of my account or with the physical therapist. As far as my account, they overcharged my credit card on file and did not get my insurance pre-approved in time for my appointment, although they said that they would handle it. For whatever it's worth, I rarely saw any other patients at Equilibrium, even though I was there at what should have been peak times. They have a long list of therapists listed on their website, two large studios and multiple treatment rooms, but the place was almost always empty. It never seemed like the thriving business that the handful of positive reviews here would have you believe it is, and that should have been a red flag to me from the beginning. Lesson learned. When my treatment ended here, I was still in physical pain. I wish I had not wasted my money and time here. In the future, I'll ask friends for personal recommendations for any healthcare-related providers. read more

I started going to Equilibrium after being referred by my doctor to Steve Lavender . I have Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Steve is one of the few PT's that have an expertise in addressing the challenges specific to my condition. I'm very happy with the level of care that I've been receiving. Initially, Steve was in constant contact with my doctor so he can coordinate my treatment and needs. Before we even started treatment he spent a great deal of time inquiring about my needs and expectations. To my surprise, he then told me what his expectations were and they far exceeded mine! I have been seeing him for a couple of months now and I am thus far quite satisfied. No miracles here (MS is an incurable disease) but my level of care is superb. I've already been pushed and received benefits I haven't experienced in years. Steve is a caring professional with outstanding "bedside manner". I strongly recommend him. read more

I broke my ankle in November 2016 and, after many weeks of immobilization, I needed physical therapy. Just by luck I found Equilibrium, and I am so glad I did! My regular weekly appointments with Samantha Savit were extremely helpful and rewarding; when I arrived in January I could barely walk, but by the time of my last visit in May I was literally "back on my feet." The facility is clean, bright, and state-of-the-art equipped. Visits are luxuriously long at 45 minutes, compared to some places that hustle you out in a half-hour. Everyone who works there is friendly and helpful. They all worked very hard at getting me the maximum number of visits from my insurance company to make sure that I would recover and regain my mobility. Samantha is a true professional; she is thoughtful, diligent, charming, kind, and just really good at what she does. She is the real deal! I am convinced that I would still be hobbling through the streets of Manhattan without her attentive and expert care. In summary, I send my sincere gratitude to the management and the entire staff of Equilibrium for their competence and excellent service. read more

I have seen Matt Rome for a couple different knee injuries over the years. He has been incredibly adept at both guiding me through a full ACL rehabilitation and also utilizing various treatment methods depending on my condition at a particular time. He is very knowledgeable about identifying the causes of certain types of pain, discomfort, stiffness, etc. and treating it appropriately. Matt is very focused and caring in his approach and considers the whole picture when treating a condition. Highly recommend. read more

I have suffered with a lot of neck and shoulder pain for over two years (pinched nerve, rotator cuff injury) and have consulted several other therapists with no success - UNTIL - until Steve Lavender at Equilibrium PT got his golden hands on me!! He has such expert knowledge of the body and does a lot of hands on work rather than just prescribing exercises to do at home - he is a healer in the real sense of the word, and I am very grateful to have fallen into his very talented clutches. He is a true professional - the real deal. read more

Great practice...I've been through PT a number of times for a variety of injuries and I like Equalibrium's operating philosophy better than the others. In the past, I was used to seeing my therapist for stim or heat and only ten minutes of stretching or manipulating the effected area; then I was sent into a gym with trainers who were working with multiple patients at one time. At Equlibrium your 45 minute session is exclusively with your therapist who provides active, focused hands-on treatment that really addresses your particular issue and is supplemented by a program of well outlined "homework" to reinforce what was accomplished during the session. I highly recommend them. read more

Garry is by far the best physical therapist I have been to. He was kind, easy going, professional, knowledgeable and overall, a true pleasure to work with. When I came in I was just recovering from bunion surgery and was in constant pain. Garry did a thorough assessment of me and focused on how I already moved to see where I needed to go. Through stretching and strengthening the muscles needed to reduce compensation and the resulting pain and strains resulting from this, Garry was able to get me back to doing all the things I love most like weight lifting, yoga, and wearing high heels. All sessions were one on one and he explained everything we were doing in a thorough and easily comprehensible manner. He also gave me the skills and tools to continue working on things at home to push myself even further. Additionally, all of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. By the time I left Equilibrium Fitness I felt as good as new and am now back at the gym full time feeling stronger than ever! read more

Matt and Sam were amazing, They really know their stuff. Vestibular issues can be confusing but they made sense of it al. I highly recommend them. Steven G. read more

I have found the fountain of youth! I have been seeing Physical Therapist, Gabriel Ettenson, for over a year for lower back pain and rheumatoid arthritis. I found him to be a knowledgable therapist with up to date information and innovative techniques. This September, he opened Amplitude Vibration Studio in conjuction with Equilibrium Physical Therapy. Whole body vibration is an amazing way to get a core work out, no matter what your level of conditioning, and it provides other positive health effects such as increased bone density. He also offers services such as the Alter G anti gravity tread mill, that allows those of us with bad knees or feet or backs to run like gazelles. Getting all the benefits of running with out the pounding, jarring impact. Check out the web site for all of the innovative, alternative forms of exercise and body work. Suspension apparatus, active stretching, massage, accupunture, yoga, pilates, they have it all. Meditation classes are offered in the evenings. Some of the work I do here is covered by my insurance because of the my medical needs, but if you just want a fabulous work out and have no medical problems, you can purchase packages, sign up for classes or go a la carte. This is for all ages, all levels of fitness and every state of health. It will make you feel amazing. read more

There is no way that I can find enough good things to say about Matt Rome and the Equilibrium practice as a whole. I had an injury about 5 months ago that has caused me to need to go to therapy about 3 times a week, which I am still attending. I was confused on how to find a good therapist in the area, but then I came across Matt Rome's info. From the very first moment I called, they were extremely receptive and flexible in finding the times for me to come in. Matt has made me feel totally comfortable and confident in my healing process. He is always completely focused on me the entire time we have set aside, and goes way beyond the normal treatments with the help of the therapist assistant, Corey ( who is awesome as well!). They seem to forward thinking and have equipment such as the Anti gravity treadmill, which allowed me to start to walk earlier than I would have been able to on a normal treadmill. I also love that they use the help of technology by emailing me videos of all of my weekly exercises that I need to do! He is always available via email, and responds quickly to any questions that I have when I am not able to see him! They are always flexible in times if I need to shift things around due to work and I have been able to see the other physical therapist in the office when Matt is away ( who are also absolutely wonderful!) All in all.... I don't think I could have found a better physical therapist or practice than Matt Rome and Equilibrium. They have truly been there every step of my recovery and I feel that they really are passionate in what they do for a living. You can tell that every single person there truly cares about their patients and their recovery! I would 100% recommend them to any one I know for their therapy needs! read more

I was recommended to Equilibrium and Matt Rome for vestibular therapy. Going in to the appointment, I had very little understanding of my condition and how the therapy would help. Matt went above and beyond to explain the therapy, its benefits, and how I could best apply it to my situation. As the sessions progressed, Matt continued to work with me to tailor the exercises to my particular needs. He has gone out of his way to work with my other doctors and help me understand my condition. He is quite simply a gifted healer and an extraordinarily compassionate human being. All of the staff at Equilibrium are friendly and treat me like family. I can't imagine going anywhere else. read more
