Monique is a treasure!!! I've been a patient of hers for the past 7+ years - first for a shoulder injury, then plantar fasciitis in both feet. Both situations I ignored until the pain became unbearable, yet Monique guided me to a full recovery from conditions I thought too severe to heal. After moving to another state, I recently saw a different physical therapist for a wrist issue. That experience--impersonal, assembly-line treatment with no clear plan for healing--was in stark contrast to Monique's care. It was a reminder of what an exceptional doctor she is. With Monique, I always feel seen and heard. Her care is deeply personalized, and she has an incredible gift for identifying the root of the problem and treating it effectively. On top of her skill, she's approachable, easy to talk to, and has a wonderful sense of humor. I can't recommend her highly enough! read more

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to my new and amazing physical therapist Paul Ochoa. Pauls care and expertise were outstanding-from the very start, he made me feel at ease and listened to my concerns. His dedication to my well-being was evident in his thorough explanations and personalized treatment. He made a few adjustments and I am thankfully already seeing results. Oh and the space is amazing! read more

My experience with Paul at F Square has changed my life. I have worked in partnership with Paul on a number of injuries. When we met I felt physically limited even though I had worked with other PT's. F Square is different. I am now stronger than I have ever been. Paul helped me overcome chronic, life-long pain. He knew that I could do things even when I didn't believe that I could. He is an expert and I could not recommend the practice more highly. The space is also beautiful so you can look forward to being there. read more

John is one of the best PTs I've ever worked with. I came to him with 3 herniated discs in my back and he changed my life and ability to handle chronic pain. He's incredibly thorough and thoughtful in his personalized treatment and is a joy to work with because of his great bedside manner. As a lifelong athlete who's suffered many injuries, I only wish I'd found him sooner. To top it off, F Squared is a gorgeous space, conveniently located to almost anywhere in Manhattan, and is really a great space for injury recovery! Thanks, John for being THE BEST!!! read more

I came to Monique pretty down on my luck; I was a personal trainer who considered myself to be quite fit, but I'd recently suffered a bad knee injury in the gym that had lead me to surgery. I was told lots of negative things by my surgeon, like that I would never run or squat again. This was so devastating for me on many different levels; not only could I not walk, I also couldn't work out, or do my job. A classmate from grad school lead me to F Squared and, to be honest, I wasn't expecting much. As an athlete, I'd been to several physical therapists for other sports injuries in the past, and it was never much besides a couple of minutes on the stationary bike, some stretching, and some body weight movements. I couldn't have been more wrong. First and foremost, I think what sets F Squared apart is that they approach your recovery process from a functional perspective. Their goal is to be able to get you moving and keep you moving for the rest of your life. And if you tell them a goal of your own (whether it's to be able to carry your kids around without throwing your back out, or to be able to military press 100lbs), they will do their best to get you there. In this way, they bring a truly cross-functional approach to physical therapy that mixes basically everything you can think of, depending on what it is you might need; from cupping, to massage, to dynamic movements, to Pilates, to weight training. They are experts! Because of this, I would recommend F Squared to anyone, from someone who is recovering from a severe injury, to a serious athlete who is working towards a fitness-related goal. To shoutout my physical therapist in particular: Monique is truly a gem, and she helped me overcome so many physical hurdles while also appreciating how tough this injury was on me mentally. Throughout my time with her, I learned so much that even as a trainer I didn't know. For example, not only am I back in the gym, but I'm deadlifting all the time! Something that always used to bother my back, but that I now have the correct form for, and also that she taught me is extremely important to do for my injury in particular. :) She is so knowledgable and professional while still remaining warm and caring. I think of her often and I would not hesitate to return to F Squared, should I again have the need. 1000/5 stars for the whole team! read more

I am not one to usually write Yelp reviews, but had such a splendid time at F Squared Physical Therapy that I felt compelled to write one of (if not my actual) first review ever for them. I started going to F Squared at the beginning of 2018 and only stopped going when I had to move (because of my job) across the country. From day 1 the staff was incredibly attentive to my specific needs -- I am a cyclist with somewhat constant knee pain when I ride and I wanted ways to reduce my tendinopathy. F Squared was one of the few places (I've been to about 3 different physical therapy centers for the issue) that actually worked with and for cyclists. I was put on a regime to reduce my pain and increase my flexibility. Starting in March, Kelley Zupanek was hired by F Squared. She is a triathlete and immediately started to further refine my regime to make it so my cycling pain would go away. What I appreciated about Kelley was her constant encouragement and adjustment of my exercises. If something hurt me, she found a new way to do it. If I was feeling lazy with my exercises, she would encourage me. One of the great features of F Squared is the one-on-one time you spend with the therapist. Unlike other PT places I've been to, this individualized and constant attention made me much more cognizant and confident in my exercises. Given Kelley's instruction, I'm happy to say that my tendinopathy has been significantly reduced and I am still using the exercises she gave me weekly, if not daily. That all being said, if you are a cyclist and/or ride a bicycle and are looking for physical therapy involving this sport, I can't recommend F Squared Physical Therapy and Kelley enough! It's truly a great place to get therapy. read more

I saw a very skilled PT for a long time at F-Squared. When he left, I was assigned a new PT. I found the new PT knowledgeable about the medical aspect of treatment. However, I felt she was patronizing in her approach. For example, at times she would scold me. I have found as the years go by that sometimes service providers think it's acceptable to treat me like a child because I'm older; so that might explain it. When I tried to talk to her about how I felt disempowered by the way she treated me, she was not receptive. Anyhow, because she was skilled, I continued to see her. I shared the contact information with her for my two doctors who were treating me for my condition. She wanted to talk to an additional doctor; but because that doctor was not treating me for the condition related to my PT, I asked her not to. Nevertheless, she did contact this doctor against my explicit wishes. Then she was argumentative with me about it when I learned of it. Thinking that the employee would be instructed that her action was improper, and so she would not do it again, I didn't post a Yelp review. However, when I recently reached out to the owner, he defended her actions. Therefore, I'm posting this review so that potential clients will know that this office doesn't respect patient's wishes or privacy. Also, there were a number of scheduling mix-ups, such as double-booking. read more

Paul is the best physical therapist in the area hands down. He is the most knowledgeable and trustworthy pt I have worked with in my entire life. One session with Paul can be more beneficial than months spent in other pt offices. Paul is a master of his craft and is a right choice regardless if you are an elite athlete with serious injuries or a regular person with chronic pain. I wish I have found him months before so I could have saved myself a lot of time and pain. If you are injured or are in pain, you have found the right person. Could not recommend him enough! read more

My time with F2PT was just about a year ago, and I'm sorry I didn't write this sooner, but I absolutely want to shed light on how wonderful these people are. I am a physical therapist myself, and a weightlifter/CrossFitter. I completely overdid it during one of the CF Open workouts, and after the soreness wore off, I had some residual back pain that wasn't all too concerning until it was a week later and I still couldn't bend to touch my toes or sit on the toilet without using my hands for support. I tried the self-treatment route and could get myself to a point where I could walk around, but anytime I would sneeze my back would go into a spasm to the point where it was impossible to stand without support. I knew the staff at F2PT because I train and treat people at Studio 26. During my first session with Paul, he was able to point out the most seemingly minuscule things about the way I moved, and was able to modify certain movements that I was having difficulty performing in such ways that I could do them without pain (such as squatting and performing hinging motions). This gave me incredible hope that my injury was not as serious as it felt. After 3 or 4 sessions I was pain-free and began gradually adding weightlifting back into my life. The first comment my coach made was that my squat looked way better than before I was injured. I definitely have Paul to thank for that! Since then, I was very hesitant to deadlift and go back to Olympic weightlifting, but with the improved awareness I had after seeing Paul, I've been able to gradually build back to where I was almost 4 years ago when I was training to compete (AND without any aids like a weightlifting belt). I thought that dream was way behind me, but now it is something I am working towards again! Thanks for everything! read more

I was connected to Monique at F squared about a year ago. She was my first Pt experience and I absolutely loved her. She pays attention to every single detail, she is caring and if you do what she says you will feel better. I recommended her to two other coworkers who started seeing her and loved her as well. I Covid she went remote and I was beyond impressed with ability to help me virtually. So thankful to have Monique in my life. read more

Paul, Andrew and Monique are amazing. They are intuitive healers who dynamically respond to what's going on with their patients in the moment. They take a very hands-on approach to PT and really get their patients involved with a home exercise program. They use a functional approach to P.T. and that makes all of the difference. Their office space is conducive to healing; great energy in this bright, airy, private yet lively office. Even when you're in the common/shared gym spaces, you never feel obsequious or that it's somehow not private. From the top of your head to the bottom of your toes, this is the place to go when something isn't working right. They are three gifted healers and everyone should be so lucky to have a PT like these three amazing people. read more

I loved working with Andrew at F Squared. He was able to make a great assessment about my hip problem without even seeing xrays. He proceeded to really help me strengthen my hip and do great stretches. I eventually had to see a surgeon who confirmed I have osteoarthritis and that with proper strengthening and stretching I could get a couple more years out of it. For insurance reasons (and my rent almost doubling), I ended up going elsewhere temporarily at a significantly reduced cost. The other physical therapists were also good but there was something about Andrew that felt like he had a deeper understanding of the human body and my hip in particular. Now, I am likely going to book more sessions with Andrew in the near future because I feel as if I could have made more progress had I stuck with Andrew at F Squared in the first place. Clean facilities, shower, lockers, really close to the A,C,E train, very professional staff (some places people are a little too comfortable with their personalities, F Squared has good personality AND great professionalism). read more

I thank my lucky stars the day I started working with Chad Woodward. After years of soccer I found myself constantly injured. Countless sessions with other physical therapists left me frustrated and no nearer to getting off the treatment table. Enter Chad, who with his knowledge and friendly attitude had me properly diagnosed and treated within a matter of weeks. I went from thinking I would just have to deal with these injuries and get on with things to being able to play at a level I hadn't reached in years. I even competed in the NYC triathlon, something I never even imagined I could finish. I can't say enough good things about this practice, my only regret is I didn't find them earlier. read more

I came to Chad a few years ago after over a year of severe back pain. There wasn't much I hadn't tried (other PT's, massage, accupuncture, chiro, etc.)... Chad not only stopped my pain but taught me how to keep it from coming back. I have seen him since for a shoulder, foot and numerous other injuries-- I don't think I would have any sanity left without him. Do your mind and your body a favor and GO SEE CHAD. read more

Monique Dupree has the knowledge, care, and love for what she does, and it shows with every session. I love the one-on-one treatment that F Squared offers and the detailed at-home plan that Monique provides, which builds a foundation of exercises and stretches to add to your self-care tools. As life would have it, I had an injury during a time of unemployment. I was so grateful that F Squared provided a way to pay that worked with a limited budget. I highly recommend Monique Dupree, as she has been my go-to PT person for years, and F Squared to address any of your physical therapy needs. read more

As a pro triathlete and coach, I depend on Chad, Paul and their staff for their wealth of knowledge in understanding and diagnosing issues that limit or sideline performance. Their approach to understanding an issue and the sometimes very complex chain of kinetic interactions that lead to it is unprecedented. There are hundreds of physical therapists in NYC. It took me a long time to find one that I truly trust with my own active body and the dozens of athletes I work with. read more

Monique is truly amazing. I've had severe neck/shoulder pain for a few years and she finally helped me get it under control. She set me up with a strength training routine that I now feel confident to do on my own. We had started out working together in person, but when Covid started I was blown away by how she could still make me feel 100 times better during our virtual sessions. read more

Great experience. I was treated by Paul, and I'm very happy with the result. He explained exercises perfectly and even sent me detailed tips on how to perform them, so I could always go to the notes and refresh. A week later, after doing exercises daily, I feel much better and I do not have to take painkillers anymore. Thanks, F Squared! read more

Best PT in the whole world. I've been to many PTs that are seeing multiple patients at once and you never get personalized attention. F Squared is totally different and the best!! Would recommend to anyone & everyone. read more

F Squared PT has helped me get back on my feet three times for three different injuries. Their personal attention and in-depth knowledge -- in my case from Paul -- can't be surpassed. read more

After a few months of dealing with a foot injury, I was diagnosed with CRPS of a lower limb. I was, at this point, unable to move most of my foot and in constant pain. Enter F2PT. They helped me go from not being able to perform daily tasks such as climbing stairs and feeding the dog to being able to resume a comfortable lifestyle in a few short months. Monique makes sure to keep a channel of open communication, as she treats the whole body, not just the injury at face value. She has pushed and supported me in ways I didn't realize I needed, both with wisdom and tough love. She is an incredible physical therapist that I would recommend to anyone dealing with chronic pain. I am looking forward to continuing my progress with the wonderful team at F2PT. read more

If you are looking for the best physical therapy team in New York City, you just found them. Everyone at F Squared Physical Therapy (aka F2PT) is wonderful from the front desk staff to the physical therapists. I first saw Dr. Monique Dupree at the suggestion of my foot surgeon. Monique guided me through the healing and recovery process and helped me regain my balance and confidence. She has subsequently helped me with chronic neck/shoulder pain. Monique is world-class in her hands-on approach and her ability in assessing issues, diagnosing root cause, and ultimately developing personalized game plans to make you better. And on top of it all, she has a wonderful personality and a reassuring positive and inspiring attitude. I always look forward to our visits together and feeling better afterwards and can't recommend her enough. I will also say in the age of Covid, I feel very safe in the F2PT offices (lots of natural light and a cool plant wall) in Chelsea and the private spaces they have for appointments. I will continue seeing Monique and this wonderful team and can't recommend them enough. I have also had sessions with Dr. Paul Ochoa and he too is fantastic. read more

F2 is a gem of a PT studio. The level of care provided is unmatched by any PT, Doctor or Surgeon I have worked with in Manhattan. Monique is not only incredibly knowledgeable but she genuinely cares about her patients physical and mental health. A long physical recovery can be a taxing process physically and even more so mentally/emotionally. Monique was there to help me every step of the way. I can not thank F2 and Monique enough. read more

I have been following PT Chad Woodard around since 2010. I am a dancer, and first met him after dealing with 10+ years of rotator cuff wear and tear and finally needing a cortisone shot. Chad helped me not only regain tons of strength, range of motion and ability, but he also imparted so much of his wealth of knowledge to me so that I could really take care of myself and continue to improve. I'm glad to say that I have been able to continue dancing, and my should doesn't hold me back. I've been able to continue dancing and doing all sorts of other related activities- gymnastics, pole dancing, puppetry and light weight training. Most recently I saw Chad at F2PT for a neck issue this fall. We set a goal of working through the issue in 8 weeks or so. Chad worked his magic and I was good to go after only 4 weeks. Chad is always personable, positive, and highly educational, all while working with the client's economic needs in mind. Chad really understood how to set limits so I could get better, and also balance these limitations with my need to keep moving for my sanity! The office is tranquil, pristine, and a wonderful place for healing to take place. I would recommed this practice to anyone in need of PT, and especially any athlete or other fitness/physical professional. I couldn't recommend it more highly. read more

F2PT was absolutely fantastic!! My ankle has never felt better!! Paul and Chad are real pro's and very helpful. Always willing to work with my hectic schedule and find a way to fit me in at the last minute! Oh yeh, and I'm uninsured. They didn't bat an eye. Just asked how soon I could come in. My ankle has been bad for as long as I can remember after a terrible sprain. It's been over 2 years. As a very fit and active person who cycles regularly, I knew this was something I needed treated asap. I original saw a physio therapist who worked on my ankle for 15mins a week - the remaining 45mins of the session was spent with physio assistants, most didn't have a good idea of what they were doing and what my needs were - without ever prescribing any home exercise. My ankle started to feel better but never felt better than 80% even after 10 sessions After dealing with the problem for years, I went and saw Paul at F2PT and within 6 sessions, Paul managed to strengthen my ankle to a level where I was cycling confidently once again. My ankle has never felt stronger and my cycling has improved drastically as a result. my top speed and cadence as well as the distances I can go have all come up as a result of Paul's work. Paul actually delved into the root of the problem (my lower back and sciatic nerve) rather than simply masking the symptoms to make me feel as though I was improving. he also encouraged me to work on exercises that he prescribed for me to do at home. Instead of keeping me in physio for more sessions, Paul insisted that I needed to continue the therapy at home so I could speed up my recovery. I mean, I could write a whole lot more but it's pretty simple. Paul and Chad are the best. I think the other testimonials I read here are evidence enough of their prowess!! read more

I came into F Squared Physical Therapy with low back pain. I'm a physical therapist and aggravated it when I was managing multiple patients by myself. I think most physical therapy places are pretty bad because patients don't spend enough time with their therapists. I didn't want to go through this experience so I booked an appointment at F Squared Physical Therapy. My therapist was Monique and she was fantastic. She conducted a very thorough evaluation and took her time with me each treatment session. Within 3-4 sessions, I was completely pain free and have her to thank for it. I would recommend this place to anyone. Keep up the good work guys. read more

I whole-heartedly recommend Monique. I worked with her to get over a hamstring problem that nagged at me for ages, failed to improve under the care of a different physical therapist, and kept me from doing things I love like running. She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, patient, and encouraging. She cares deeply about getting you healthy, and skillful enough to do so. I had despaired of ever getting back to running, but Monique got me there. Today, even though Monique graduated me from needing to see her regularly, she introduced me to a terrific trainer to keep me on a path of healing and strengthening, and I still check in with Monique regularly for advice and updates. read more

Paul and Andrew were great. The cost was very reasonable for the service. Having done a lot of PT over the years - these guys really know what they are doing and the small/little details that really help to see improvement. Definitely worth the one on ones in order to get your self up and running again. read more

Paul has made a huge difference to me for my back pain. When I first started, I could not carry bags due to debilitating back pain. He has helped me strengthen my core and has provided exercises that I can do at home so that I stay strong. I highly recommend Paul and F2. read more

I've gone to a few PT's over the last years but have never had a better experience than with F2PT. I came to see Andrew for my IT band issue, and within a few weeks I was ready to train and race triathlons again. He properly diagnosed what was wrong, made it better with every session we had and was very good at explaining the issue and cause so I would understand and know what to do to keep it from coming back. Andrew also did two bike fits for me (different bikes) and both times I thought the results were amazing. They changed my riding tremendously and got me in a comfortable yet efficient position for my races. The facilities are also beautiful, which is a bonus. I highly recommend them! read more

Monique is amazing. Through her hard work, amazing energy, upbeat approach and constant support, I was able to work my way back from knee replacement surgery to reach my goal of playing softball the next season. Then, after the season was over, I tore my calf muscle and, through Monique's patient guidance, I am back at full strength and ready for a new season! I just cannot say enough good things about Monique, Paul and F Squared. The facility is great and the therapists are even better!! read more

Paul is exceptional PT -- I came to see him a year ago after a month of seeing a PT in a box like treatments....following a torn labrum shoulder surgery. He works out of a terrific loft space in a very casual, professional atmosphere. Until I met Paul, I didn't realize a true pro, (not me left alone in a corner with a rope), does most of the work during the session. I recovered nicely from the surgery and I credit him for healing me well. Highly recommend. read more

Not only are Chad and Paul great guys, they're also terrific physical therapists. I've been in and out of PT for years for various issues, and working with Chad was the first time someone actually put all the pieces together and treated me from A to Z. When I injured my knee 3 weeks before a big bike ride from Boston to NY, I thought I'd have to pull out. But Chad probed and prodded and fixed me up like new in time to still ride. I couldn't have asked for better! read more

I loved working with Monique. She is obviously highly trained and knowledgeable, and she uses this in a very attuned way: adjusting and tweaking the work as she learned more about how my system responded, really understanding and meeting my needs for a slow, digestible pace. I experienced her as steady, warm, very responsive, and with a good sense of humor . The work has really made a difference in an increase of strength, a reduction of pain, and a sense of empowerment in my body. I am glad that I had the opportunity to take advantage of her wisdom and experience. read more

After cycling for over 200 miles for a fundraiser, I had serious knee issues that needed attention immediately. I went to F squared PT for about a month after the ride and before I knew it, my knees had improved dramatically. My PT was Paul Ochoa, very nice guy! Not only did the in session sports massages make a difference, but the exercises provided by my PT were simple, useful, and easy to complete during a workout session at the gym. I would definitely recommend F squared PT. The office space is extremely clean and everyone is very friendly. read more

Chad and Paul were wonderful! I had to go out of town for work a week after I was prescribed to go to PT for 6 weeks! F2PT somehow managed to see me right away and fit me in for a few sessions that week to get as much therapy in as possible before I had to leave town. Paul worked with me personally the entire session and never left me alone with exercises. I loved that he then gave me exercises to continue while I was out of town that progressed. F2PT is incredibly professional, friendly, welcoming, and comfortable. I never felt like I was being squeezed in out to see as many people as possible, like most PTs in NY. I'd see them again in a heartbeat and I'll recommend them to anyone I know in need of PT. I was sent to them by referral and I look forward to passing on the favor! read more

Gurbans Kaur is one of those gifted professionals who not only aid you in the healing process but also arm you with the knowledge and tools to keep yourself healthy. She is methodical, thorough, empathetic and realistic in tailoring regimens that fit your needs and schedules. And oh yeah, she sparkles, too. I was actually sad when my foot issues were solved and I couldn't go anymore. I would highly recommend her and her practice. read more

F2PT is amazing. I have been going here for a very nasty shoulder injury (bike accident with multiple clavicle breaks, scar tissue, nerve damage, rotator cuff damage) and they've worked wonders. With their help I did a marathon 6 months after the accident and am on target to do a half Ironman 9 moths after and an Ironman again 1 year later. Given how bad an injury I had this is amazing work! You couldn't find nicer and more thoroughly effective/knowledge people as Chad, Paul, and Gurbans. They're great! Very trustworthy. I can't recommend them more highly. You should go see them. read more

I can't recommend Monique highly enough. She's thorough and detailed in her work with you, knows exactly what she's doing. And she's also just a total delight to be around, nice, funny and easy to talk to. read more
