Why we do what we do

Physical therapy is just one of the many important aspects of overall health, and ranges from treating long-term nagging pains to short-term acute pains. Our therapists pride themselves on their willingness to help and on their love of watching people grow by getting physically stronger. Each member of our team is dedicated to making therapy pain-free, enjoyable, and productive. We pride ourselves on our commitment and attention to detail, and we find that our patients and clients also do best when they prioritize their treatment.

Our team

Our goal first and foremost is to deliver the best plan of care to you, the patient. We value positivity, and are proud of the connections we’ve made with patients. Evolve is not a cookie-cutter approach to physical therapy, we work hard and encourage patients to do better. We do our best to motivate, educate, and help you grow. We believe in everyone’s inherent power to fix themselves, and we’re here to show you the way and how to do that. Each member of our staff has their own reason for being a part of the team and their own method and style of doing things, and we work hard to ultimately make you better and healthier than you were yesterday. Our team is well-versed and experienced with young athletes as well as older generations, with both inpatient and outpatient treatment centers, and with many different modalities and treatment styles, so you can be sure that we’ll be able to work with you to help you succeed.

What we expect of you

Physical therapy is unique because it does not reward laziness; there is no quick fix, and usually no magic pill. Physical therapy rewards showing up, doing the work, and giving it your all. We encourage patients to prioritize treatments, to come to sessions consistently, and to do prescribed home exercise programs. In physical therapy and physical fitness in general, there is a direct relationship with work done and gains achieved. We will help you and push you to reach your limits and will build a relationship to work together to get you better.

Who is a Physical Therapist?

A physical therapist is most commonly a classically trained Master or Doctor, either with an Master’s of Physical Therapy (MPT/MSPT) degree or Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree, who can establish a diagnosis and develop and enact a plan of care for a long term recovery. Physical therapists use researched and proven methods based in science and medicine, and work along with medical doctors, primary care physicians, and surgeons to help bring the patient to his or her full potential.

The Goal of a Physical Therapist

The goal of a physical therapist is to properly assess and diagnose an abnormality in movement and to help the patient perform maintenance and to properly move in the future in order to strengthen the area of the body that needs healing. Another goal of a physical therapist and his/her staff is to develop a long-term relationship with the patient and to create an environment that fosters growth and understanding, which will encourage health and wellness and a speedy recovery.

On and Off the Field

Physical therapy doesn’t just happen in the office. It is important to see a professional at least once a week (and in some severe cases up to twice a day 6 times a week), but in most cases, the physical therapist will give the patient some exercises to do at home, and it is important for the patient to keep up with their healing or training regimen to achieve a full recovery as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Welcome to the Evolution

Based in Brooklyn, Evolve Physical Therapy has been treating patients for over six years and has seen people from all walks of life come through our doors. The ailments that we have addressed are just as diverse as the customers we have seen, but the one underlying commonality among all of them is a desire to change their habits to promote better health and speed recovery. This has led us to develop our Fit For Life program.

Fit For Life is more than physical therapy. It’s about creating a healthy lifestyle for all people, client or not. With the proper motivation and guidance, we all can be the best version of us that there is. We don’t need to run a marathon or become body builders overnight, but take those important key steps to modify our lifestyles toward a fitness goal. This blog will be dedicated to that pursuit as well as managing pain and the underlying injuries therein. We hope you come by often and check our posts out or even sign up for our newsletter and get monthly updates to your inbox. See you soon!
