Ariel is incredible! Was dealing with neck pain and stiffness that was really affecting me at work. He identified that I had pretty severe rotator cuff weakness and poor spine mobility. After two sessions and daily targeted exercises, I feel great. So grateful.
I’ve been working with Ariel for my back pain and I’m really glad I did! The routine he gave me helped reduce my pain significantly, and he also guided me in continuing strength training while being mindful of what to avoid to prevent the pain from coming back. His approach was practical and supportive, and I’ve definitely noticed real improvements. If you’re dealing with similar issues, I’d definitely recommend giving him a try!
I met Ariel almost 8 years ago and I can only say great things of him as a person and as a healthcare provider. He has helped me personally become injury-free and stay active. If you are in New York looking for someone who is truly caring about helping you make a comeback after injury, Ariel is the PT to go to!
Ariel is the best and most professional physical therapist I've ever met! Last year, my boyfriend ruptured his Achilles tendon, and with Ariel's help, he has made remarkable progress in his recovery. I'm incredibly grateful for Ariel's support. The gym environment is also excellent. Thank you, Ariel!
In May 2024, I broke my right fifth metatarsal running. It was a very demoralizing experience, with pain and limited mobility even after the boot came off. I had went to other physical therapists who provided cookie cutter care while seeing multiple patients at a time. From the very first session, Ariel provided expert, individualized care incorporating the most state of the art techniques. He spends the full hour personalizing your treatment plan, with special attention to your recovery goals. He is especially good if you have goals to return to sport.Fast forward a couple months, and I am back to running, better than before!Highly recommend Ariel for whatever your PT needs are!
Ariel is the best PT you ever seen. He helped me with the my shoulder issue, and now they are back to normal! Really like his philosophy of recovering. He also help me to correct my form during workout!
At On Point Physical Therapy, I had the pleasure of working with Ariel, my first experience with a physical therapist. From the initial evaluation to the end of each session, Ariel had a clear game plan. Each session featured a step-by-step routine that I could easily incorporate into my daily activities, all customized to help me achieve my recovery goals. Ariel followed up with me weekly to ensure I was staying on track and doing the exercises. His communication and dedication to his patients are exceptional, and I highly recommend working with him.
Ariel is the best. He has helped me make so much improvement in such a limited amount of time, coming back from an ACL Injury. He really takes the time to understand your body and customize workouts specifically to you. I wish I started working with him earlier!
I recently worked with Ariel rehabbing a shoulder labral tear caused me pain and instability, which affected my ability to lift and do Judo, both of which are big hobbies for me. Ariel took a holistic approach, first testing the initial level of the injury and then doing soft tissue work, improving mobility, and slowly strengthening across the range of motion both during our appointments and by giving me a set of exercises to do on my own time. I’m still gradually dialing the intensity back up, but I’m back to lifting and Judo without pain. Ariel and On Point are strongly recommended and given the successful shoulder rehab I will be going back soon to work on some knee pain I’ve had since childhood.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I recently had the pleasure of visiting Ariel's physical therapy clinic in Queens, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere. Ariel has a unique and tailored approach to therapy that truly sets him apart.I came in with a sports injury that had been bothering me for some time, and Ariel took the time to assess my situation thoroughly. Their team crafted a personalized rehabilitation plan that not only addressed my specific needs but also educated me about the healing process. It was evident that he genuinely cared about getting me back to full strength, and it made all the difference!If you’re in need of physical therapy, do yourself a favor and visit Ariel’s clinic—your body (and peace of mind) will thank you! 🌟🙌
I can't thank Ariel enough for helping me with my recurrent knee pain. After some disappointing experiences with physiotherapy in the past, I was pretty skeptical, but Ariel completely changed my perspective. He genuinely cares about his patients and stays up-to-date with the latest medical trends. By combining traditional questionnaire-based assessments with advanced, device-based measurements, Ariel really understood my issues and tailored an optimal training plan for me. Now I can do things I couldn’t before, all thanks to Ariel!If you’re looking for a physiotherapist who truly cares and knows what they’re doing, I highly recommend Ariel.
Highly recommend Ariel! He is so knowledgeable and compassionate. Both his personalized approach to sports injury treatment and his physical therapy facility in Long Island City Queens are top notch.
"Coach Ariel Osharenko and On Point Physical Therapy use a holistic approach when solving problems and issues. Sometimes these are complex matters requiring a high level of attention and detail. Within his high-performance model, Ariel is able to create a simplistic solution for the client that is also understandable."
I came to Ariel after dislocating my shoulder. He very quickly helped me regain my range of motion and strength. I really appreciate how he went in depth in teaching me what I'd need to do to recover, and in some ways my shoulders are better off than before my injury.
Highly recommend Ariel! He is so knowledgeable, attentive, compassionate and spent more time for the session than other therapists . I need foot physical therapy after my sports injury and haven’t found a satisfactory one until I met Ariel. “
Ariel and his team are so knowledgeable and compassionate about providing the best personalized care. They do not rush you like some other places, and I got the best sessions I ever had. Thank you!
I started physical therapy with Aerial on the recommendation of my acupuncturist. I’ve been experiencing hip pain on and off, and it had recently flared up. Aerial was responsive, attentive, and quickly created a recovery plan. He used a combination of techniques (massage/stretching) and strength-building exercises to address my issue. He put me on an exercise plan, which I follow regularly. Neither of us expected I would recover this quickly, but I am now pain-free. If you are looking for a dedicated and results-focused physical therapist, you know who to go to!
The best in the game! Ariel is an amazing PT, and is someone who knows all about getting you back to your optimal performance levels while coaching you through every point in your recovery. Grateful to get to work with him.
I was referred to Ariel by a friend after cycling through several different PT’s after breaking my patella. He was the first one who took the time to really customize our sessions for me specifically, so that I didn’t feel like just another number, like many of the other places I’d tried. He’s not only extremely knowledgeable and great at what he does but he’s also just a wonderful person. After I had to have a second surgery he continued to check in on me and it made such a huge difference in my recovery! My leg is still not 100 percent but it’s still improving every day and I attribute so much of what I’ve overcome physically and mentally to working with him.
Just want to express my most sincere gratitude to ArielFor 10 years, I had very tense back and very tight hamstrings following back herniationToday is the first day in years that I sit with straight legs, without any pain or discomfort. Ariel tried a variety of approaches for weeks until we found the right set of exercises & manual therapy, and I am getting better & more flexible day by dayIf you are in NYC, can’t find a better professional 🙏🏻
Highly recommended. The On point gym and facilities are top-notch for the area. I was especially impressed by Ariel’s knowledge of PT and Sports Medicine. You can tell he is genuinely passionate about treating his patients, and his positive energy adds a boost too!
Ariel is an amazing. He goes above and beyond to make sure the recovery progresses smoothly. I had worked with him for almost 5 months post-surgery. Best and most attentive PT I have ever worked with.
Ariel helped me through some significant neck pain and was a fantastic resource throughout the process. He was patient and understanding but not afraid to encourage me to be my very best in recovery. Though I hope I do not have need of his services again in the near future, there is no better person to have as your PT.
I started working with Ariel after a back injury at the gym but the truth is that I’ve had experienced lower back pain for over two years. I appreciate the dedicated 1:1 time during our session and professionalism. He is very knowledgeable and explains everything very thoroughly. I’ve seen a lot of good progress so far and highly recommend him. Best PT in the area ✌🏼
ariel is one of the best in this field, very reassuring and responsible. he takes his time with every athlete/patient and makes sure the athlete/patient themselves understand how their injury works too. was very stressed out about my injury but after he told me the recovery time won’t be long I felt great! even threw my crutches away afterwards :). He is my go to guy if I ever do get injured!
Ariel is a truly exceptional physical therapist. After having lower back and glute injuries for a number of years, Ariel has significantly improved my condition, and I have regained strength that I haven’t had in years!I highly recommend Ari and the On Point way of training.
I recently worked with Ariel for several weeks on my wrist and shoulder after dealing with some pain and numbness potentially related to carpal tunnel. I was feeling discouraged when I first showed up, but Ariel quickly helped to improve my symptoms as well as my attitude, making me more hopeful each week. My wrist/arm now feels so much better! Ariel gave me tons of stretches to do on my own, but also made great use of the time I was in our sessions. Most importantly, I always felt listened to and like my experience was heard and understood. Ariel is so friendly and encouraging, and I can’t thank him enough for helping me get back some normalcy!
Ariel is, hands down, the best PT I've ever had the pleasure of working with! He is extremely knowledgable, and diligent in his effort of pinpointing down the root cause of the issue, and fixing it. What I also really appreciated is that Ariel took into consideration my athletic pursuits in Jiu Jitsu and snow sports, even though I am not remotely close to being a professional athlete, and helped me optimize my performance in those areas, while I was working on my problem areas.For context, I've been dealing with a chronic back pain for the good part of the last 10 years, and I've gone to numerous doctors, physio therapists, and chiropractors across few countries to no avail. I am happy to say that only after few sessions with Ariel, I started to see improvements, and at the end of my treatment plan I was fully pain free. I would highly recommend Ariel to absolutely anyone!
Ariel helped me tremendously after a very complicated surgery on my knee (two implants of osteochondreal bone and cartilage and an anteriorizing tibial tubercle osteotomy - basically a bone realignment and two plugs of someone else’s knee parts in my patellar region of the knee). Ariel literally came to my apartment and brought his PT table to help me. He structured exercises specifically for me and sent me homework complete with visual instructions and sometimes videos to remind me how to do the exercises correctly. He cares - he would follow up with texts to make sure I was on track! I actually sought out Ariel specifically for this recuperation because he had been my PT way back after my 4th knee surgery, which was also complicated (de novo implant). He was phenomenal. I had seen other PTs in btwn 4th and 5th surgeries but none compared to Ariel, and I knew for a surgery of this magnitude I needed the absolute best. Yes, it is a bit pricey, but you will go much farther and faster with Ariel helping you. Consider yourself in excellent hands if you are lucky enough to work with him!
On Point PT is where physical therapists go to have their injuries healed. As a PT with over 39 years in practice, I felt comfortable bringing my ortho sports injuries to Ariel. I trust his whole person approach, based on the latest scientific research and common sense approach, rather than cookie-cutter fluff that is out there. He doesn’t just helps you to resolve the issue, but adjusts your approach to a specific activity to make you do it better and safer, with pre- and post routines. Thank you for helping our community
Ariel is one of the most knowledgable and caring physical therapists I have ever worked with. He not only has a great deal of experience but he clearly researches his patient's conditions to learn as much as possible about how best to treat them. I would recommend him to anyone.
Ariel helped me with a sports injury. I liked that the entire session (and each appointment) was with him, and I didn't get passed around to assistants or other therapists. See Ariel, do your exercises, and you'll be well on your way to playing your sport again!
10/10 experience- Ariel's expertise in assessing and addressing specific needs was evident from the first session. Attentively listens to concerns and provides detailed instructions for exercises to do at home as well. As an athlete, I greatly appreciate Ariel's approach to long term solutions so that I could get back to doing the activities I enjoy. The clinic is clean and well-equipped. Highly recommend!
I've worked with Ariel for a couple of months in relation to a hip injury and the process has been amazing. Ariel is one of the first PTs that I've worked with that really tried to get to the root cause of the problem. Through a combination of soft-tissue work and mobility/strengthening exercises, I am not only pain-free, but have better mobility and movement than I've had in years. Ariel was always focused on the long-term solution and not a quick fix. He is extremely competent and super friendly! Be prepared to put in some work yourself but if you are willing to invest in yourself, with Ariel's help, the end result is totally worth it. I fully recommend Ariel!
I recently had a fantastic experience at On Point Physical Therapy, where Ariel played a crucial role in my recovery from a sustained back injury incurred during CrossFit. The welcoming atmosphere, coupled with Ariel's expertise and kindness, made my therapy sessions truly exceptional. From the thorough assessment to the personalized treatment plan, Ariel's dedication to my well-being was evident. Between sessions, he maintained thorough communication, consistently checking in on my well-being throughout the week and suggesting exercises for me to do at home. The facility is well-equipped, clean, and efficiently managed, creating a positive rehabilitation environment. I highly recommend On Point Physical Therapy for the care and compassionate approach. Thank you, Ariel for helping me on my road to recovery!
Ariel is the best!! I tore my ACL and doing rehab with him was very efficient. I was able to get back on the court and playing in a good amount of time.
Went to Ariel to rehab from a patellar tendon rupture- he is very knowledgable not only from a PT standpoint but also strength and conditioning, if you are looking to get back to playing sports after a major ligmaent injury, he will definitely get you back to doing what you love.
I came to Ariel recently while training for the NYC marathon. I had an injury about a month away from the marathon and was feeling very disappointed and anxious. I found Ariel to consult with and he quickly was available for our first appointment. He immediately made me feel like I was in good hands and explained what I had going on with in depth knowledge and reassurance. He helped me immensely throughout the month leading up to the marathon with once a week visits with individualized support and strength exercises to complete in between, as well as a running progression. I was even able to complete the marathon! Ariel is knowledgeable, kind, supportive, and motivating! I wish I had gone to him sooner in my running journey, but he has given me tips that I will continue to apply in my running and use to continue to get stronger. I couldn’t have done the marathon without him and I highly recommend him for any of your physical therapy needs!! Thank you SO much Ariel!
Ariel is the best PT I've ever had, I came in due to outer hip pain which stopped me from being able to barbell squat, he identified my weaknesses and helped fix them, now I cannot remember the last time I felt this strong and athletic.He improved my core strength, hip strength in all directions, and my power in single-leg movements. I am able to move much better in Muay Thai training and in the gym, I feel more stable and powerful.I recommend everyone to hire Ariel.
Ariel was great and helped me recover faster than I expected. I had a complete tear of my pec and with Ariel I’m almost back I benching the same weight in three months. Super encouraging and easy to talk. Highly recommend him for PT
Exceptional expertise by Ariel! This has been a game-changer for me. He treated my foot pain from plantar fasciitis and the pain has remarkably decreased, allowing me to wake up and walk in the morning without foot pain and enjoy my morning walks. I'm thrilled to say that I'm also back to running 3 miles in the park with ease. Highly recommend Ariel for anyone seeking effective relief from plantar fasciitis or any injury.
Absolutely stellar experience with Ariel! Thanks to his expertise, my knee pain has significantly diminished, allowing me to confidently return to running 3-4 times a week!
I can’t say enough good things about Ariel and On Point Physical Therapy! Ariel’s breadth of knowledge, commitment to a hyper focused and customized treatment and recovery plan, and intense one on one focus are above and beyond. Add to that his curiosity and eagerness to think outside the box, picking up on things others had missed, and you could not ask for a better PT. I am not a high profile professional athlete but Ariel treated my dedication to my athletic pursuits and desire for recovery just the same and it was very clear how invested he was in my getting back on the track!
Ariel is a phenomenal PT! I came to him for shoulder rehab after an injury that lead to rotator cuff and labrum tear. Shoulder health is ultra important to me as I am a surfer, so I need to not only recover but get back to an athletic level. Keeping my goal in mind, Ariel designed a plan customized for me that includes both in person sessions and at home exercises, for which he would check in with me to make sure they were understood and executed. Three months later, I am back in the water surfing better and stronger than ever with no shoulder pain. On top of that he’s just an amazing friend to spend time with. I highly recommend Ariel to anyone looking for an effective PT, especially if you’re an active person who cares about the post rehab performance.
I can’t imagine a better physical therapist than Ariel. He has so much experience and knowledge that helped create a customized plan for healing and recovery and what my own unique body and potential complications might have needed. On top of that a great human being and a pleasure to spend time with each session
This guy change my life,,, I was one of those guys who want it to have a good looking 54 helthy guy with a strong body and sharp mind he start to make me understand every step to make a the change that I was looking for, he rent went to my house and check my fridge ! Now few years later I am so thankful not only because he teach me the right steps to tak to become who I want to be but I game a friend on the way too ! 💪 THANK YOU !
I am extremely satisfied with the results. From the moment I stepped into Ariel's clinic, I experienced prompt service and a welcoming atmosphere.Ariel's exceptional bedside manner and professionalism were apparent from the start. Not only did Ariel listen attentively to my concerns, but they also conducted a thorough assessment to identify the root cause of my problems. Their expertise and knowledge were evident as they quickly pinpointed the underlying issues.What truly sets Ariel apart is their ability to provide tailored exercises that precisely targeted my specific needs. The exercises recommended by Ariel were highly effective, and I could feel the progress as I diligently followed their instructions. Thanks to Ariel's guidance, I was able to regain strength and mobility, allowing me to resume weightlifting and running, which I thought I might never be able to do again.I wholeheartedly recommend Ariel as a physical therapist.
Dr. Osharenko of On Point Physical Therapy has helped me return to competitive athletic competition time and time again. He's very knowledgeable and hands on. He performs treatment, personally guides each recommend exercise and provide the steps needed to speed recovery. As an athlete, I've suffered many injuries that required physio therapy. Hence, I've seen multiple physios in the past. I can say without a shadow of doubt that Dr. Osharenko stands alone as the most effective therapist I've seen. I highly recommend his service and skip all physios to go directly to Dr. Osharenko when I suffer an injury.
Ariel helped me to recover from a lingering calf and hamstring tear. It was such a positive experience, I started sports performance training with him as well.Ariel is a scholar in the field, keeping up with the latest research to provide clients with the best methodologies. I highly recommend
Ariel is an amazing PT. He takes the time to understand the cause of your injury and treat it so you can return to life and sports better than before. It’s easy to see why so many professional athletes go to him.
Best PT Trainer In New York! Knows What He Is Doing & Very Educated In His Profession As Well. Very Patient, Motivational & Understanding. Will Push You Pass Your Limits Not Any Ordinary PT Trainer So Good Luck 💯
Ariel is a great PT and I highly recommend seeing him if you have an injury or are experiencing any pain. 6 months ago I could barely walk due to severe back pain. Ariel not helped me fully recover from this pain, but also shared tips on how I can work on getting better over time. Prior to seeing him, I saw a few other PTs who I had bad experiences with so my expectations were pretty low. I now no longer have any back pain which is honestly the best feeling since the pain was unbearable. Other than helping overcome this injury, Ariel supported me and kept motivating to push through this difficult time. He is not only a great PT but an awesome person, he truly cares about his patients. This was a very difficult time for me, so to have someone to help me get better and support me a long the way is something I am very thankful for!
Excellent! Ariel is skilled, knowledgeable and thoughtful in his approach. As an athlete himself, he’ll not only aid in rehab, he’ll have you back on your feet moving again. I always found PTs and sports MDs to be out of touch but working with him has been a delight. Can’t recommend him enough.
This guy has brought me back to life more than once and the only mistake I made was not going to see him enough. Ariel is a class act, super knowledgeable and I wouldn’t trust my body with anyone else. You will not regret working with this guy.
Ariel is professional, honest, and knowledgeable. I was 5 months post op acl revision surgery when I came to see him. He was methodical with our approach, we hit all important pieces of rehab every session (joint manipulation, stretching, agility, and strength). I was able to improve my strength, mobility, and most importantly, knowledge of my body and how to continue to improve after our sessions. After 2 months of consistent work he’s helped me get back to playing again.
Ariel is by far the best physical therapist I have been to. His knowledge on different techniques and exercises helped me tremendously with my knee and hamstring pain as a basketball player. He also has great attention to detail and is a great person I would highly recommend him if you are struggling with an injury as an athlete or for any everyday person.
It's been an incredible experience working with Ariel. 10/10 would highly recommend him. I began seeing him after a spinal/neck surgery (ACDF). Right from the beginning I could immediately tell how professional he was. He gives 100% attention to each of his clients. Whether a pro athlete or regular civilian he approaches every person with the same amount of detail and care. On top of the hands-on Physical Therapy, he created a tailored workout plan for me, and updates it accordingly to my progress. Would not be where I am today without him!Above all he's a genuinely great guy, even drove me home during a thunderstorm so I wouldn't get soaked.
I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Ariel a few year ago. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. Perhaps most importantly he brought a passion to the training which encouraged me to push myself towards reaching my goals. Ariel was consistently re-evaluating methods to achieve best results and clearly explaining his reasoning. I had complete confidence that I was getting expert advice and could focus my sole attention to the physical effort. I highly recommend Ariel and On Point Physical Therapy.
Ariel is a great guy and a fantastic therapist. I’m a former college athlete and started working with Ariel years later to help me correct overcompensations and rehab unaddressed injuries I had developed as an athlete, exacerbated by COVID-related exercise/equipment limitations. He helped me recover to a level beyond what I thought prior injuries would permit, and most importantly, gave me a unique and highly customized exercise program to prevent future injuries and address other biomechanical deficiencies I was previously unaware of. He is incredibly knowledgeable and truly committed to each client’s recovery and development
10/10! It’s called on point therapy for a reason. I’ve worked with Ariel for a few months now, and can’t thank him enough for overcoming pains in the back, leg, and arm 💯💯. Very understanding and amazing work!
Ariel is a great guy, amazing trainer, also gives great insight on how to become a better athlete based on the training we do. I feel that he pushes me and always works at my speed and it makes it a very engaging experience.
I have worked with Ariel repeatedly over the years since 2012. His knowledge of mobility and functional strength is excellent, and he is able to provide a comprehensive solution to any nagging injury or imbalance by providing a holistic plan that targets not only the problem area but the supporting muscles and movements as well. Highly recommended.
Ariel was able to identify the root cause of my issue in the first session. He was very professional throughout my treatment and very timely in sharing my PT plan after our sessions. Highly recommend!
As a Track & Field athlete, it is IMPERATIVE that I surround myself with positive, committed, and wise counsel. Ariel was that and MORE! Not only was he an amazing Strength & Conditioning Coach but a phenomenal mentor. He has helped to gain strength physically, mentally and emotionally that recommending him is inevitable. A genuine gift of the Creator. I am honored to have worked with him. Don’t hesitate to book him.
Ariel is very knowledgeable, cares about his patients and is always building his expertise. He is serious about proving outstanding care but at the same time is fun to work with.
Ariel is a wonderful PT and trainer. I’ve known him for a few years and he has always been willing to discuss any issues I am having. My bf and I have trained with him and recently I had a scary injury before a long vacation where I knew I was going to walk a lot and he helped me get better in just two sessions! Bummer that he doesn’t take insurance because that makes the sessions expensive but at the end of the day you get what you pay for! No nonsense and one-on-one attention. He is not going to tell you that you need surgery and he’s not going to pressure into coming back. He understands the body and can give you great tips on how to get your mobility and strength back. He has extensive training and is the best PT I have worked with! Leaps and bounds ahead of the bozos at HSS.
Ariel is a great therapist, he knows exactly how to approach each physical problem, and I always turn to his assistants when I need a professional advice for me or my family.
Ariel has been of amazing help. Hhe has been able to reassure me about the gravity of my injury and then walk me through the whole rehab with frequent follow ups and and excellent flexibility of his schedule. very profesional but also friendly.
I had been having significant pain in my knee, and reached out to Ariel. In just one session, he was able to diagnose what was going on, tell me what repetitive movements were causing my pain, and give me exercises to fix it. His professionalism and expertise, as well as his great attitude, were always on display and immediately helpful. I recommend Ariel to anyone who needs a physical therapist - I have never worked with anyone who is as effective. Thanks Ariel!
I trained with Ariel for a few months after suffering from hip pain. He worked to help me increase my mobility and strength. I am now back in action and pain free! Ariel is incredibly knowledgeable and great to work with.
Ariel is an amazing and highly educated professional. He approaches the problem with different techniques which helps to heal faster. My neck and I are eternally grateful 🙂 Definitely recommend!
I’ve been a runner for most of my adult life, but after breaking my foot, I was plagued with injury after injury. I threw in the towel and thought I would never run again. You know, my life was over ☺. I was seeing Ariel for PT (non-running related), and he offered to help me run again. Who could refuse? As a trainer and a PT, Ariel possesses the right blend of kindness and deep knowledge of how bodies move. If a movement hurts or strains, he adjusts it or replaces it. He listens carefully and is encouraging. He builds an individual program for you, matching your current needs, and progresses you towards your goal. With Ariel’s expert guidance, you too could be getting stronger and doing the sport you love!
Ariel helped my recovery from crippling sciatic pain issues in a very short amount of time. He taught me a proper routine of stretches and exercises to target my nerve pain directly. Highly recommended!
Ariel is a physical therapist in a class of his own. His extensive knowledge and abilities provide for a professional experience that stand alone. I had a chronic injury that did not respond to prior PT treatment until I met Ariel. He quickly diagnosed my problem, and had me feeling great in no time. I highly recommend him!!!
Ariel is an incredible physical therapist, and I cannot recommend him more highly! I was experiencing severe and debilitating mid-back pain, mostly from sitting at my desk to much working on a computer, making it difficult to go to work. Regular physical therapy over six months only reduced my pain about 20%, while massage and acupuncture only provided temporary relief. I did only six sessions with Ariel, and he cured my pain COMPLETELY AND PERMANENTLY. His functional model, understanding how your whole body works to cause pain, and using specific, targeted exercises to strengthen your body and solve your pain, was a revelation. Any time someone is in pain or needing a physical therapist, I immediately recommend Ariel. If you need physical therapy, see him - he's the best!
I am a professional boxer 17-2 15ko I tore my bicep and had surgery in March. After surgery I went with the doctors recommended physical therapist, the therapy was for a 90 yr old. I did research and found Ariel, from our first session not only did my bicep start feeling better but my confidence in my arm and myself rekindled. For a professional athlete or anything you do confidence is crucial, he introduced me to new methods of rehab and training like BFR blood flow restriction. If you are a person who wants to get back and better from were you where before the injury Ariel is the man. I always tell him he is God sent, many people told me dont try to fight again but I hear Ariel telling me not only are you going to fight again but you will become world champion!! Thank you Ariel for all you have done.
Ariel is highly professional and skilled physical therapist. I've been suffering from an ankle injury for more than a year and Ariel helped me to return to playing soccer again.I cannot recommend him highly enough!
When Ariel and I both lived in Washington, DC, he was my trainer. Ariel approached our work together not only from what was good exercise, but he also brought the knowledge of medicine and physical therapy to our work both enhancing the workout, and preventing injury. And he is an incredibly nice and interesting man -- I highly recommend Ariel!
Ariel is a fantastic trainer and just all around great person! He really cares about making sure everything you’re doing is not only the best for your body, but also challenges you to push yourself to learn new things. He introduced me to weightlifting and when I relocated outside of NY, my new trainer in California is always thrilled to do weight lifting because my “technique is so sound” — that’s all Ariel!
Through three years of training, Ariel was fundamental to my health and fitness. The lessons learned from him continue to serve me well. I am so thankful for the guidance and care I received from Ariel. If he was still in my city I would still be working with him.
Ariel was recommended by my personal trainer for help with a sore shoulder. He was extremely knowledgable, diagnosed the problem and worked with me on therapeutic exercises. Wonderfully nice guy and very professional.
Extremely knowledgeable, really knows what he is doing and explains everything clearly, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Best PT I have ever had. Thank you!
Ariel is incredible! Was dealing with neck pain and stiffness that was really affecting me at work. He identified that I had pretty severe rotator cuff weakness and poor spine mobility. After two sessions and daily targeted exercises, I feel great. So grateful.
I’ve been working with Ariel for my back pain and I’m really glad I did! The routine he gave me helped reduce my pain significantly, and he also guided me in continuing strength training while being mindful of what to avoid to prevent the pain from coming back. His approach was practical and supportive, and I’ve definitely noticed real improvements. If you’re dealing with similar issues, I’d definitely recommend giving him a try!
I met Ariel almost 8 years ago and I can only say great things of him as a person and as a healthcare provider. He has helped me personally become injury-free and stay active. If you are in New York looking for someone who is truly caring about helping you make a comeback after injury, Ariel is the PT to go to!
Ariel is the best and most professional physical therapist I've ever met! Last year, my boyfriend ruptured his Achilles tendon, and with Ariel's help, he has made remarkable progress in his recovery. I'm incredibly grateful for Ariel's support. The gym environment is also excellent. Thank you, Ariel!
In May 2024, I broke my right fifth metatarsal running. It was a very demoralizing experience, with pain and limited mobility even after the boot came off. I had went to other physical therapists who provided cookie cutter care while seeing multiple patients at a time. From the very first session, Ariel provided expert, individualized care incorporating the most state of the art techniques. He spends the full hour personalizing your treatment plan, with special attention to your recovery goals. He is especially good if you have goals to return to sport.Fast forward a couple months, and I am back to running, better than before!Highly recommend Ariel for whatever your PT needs are!
Ariel is the best PT you ever seen. He helped me with the my shoulder issue, and now they are back to normal! Really like his philosophy of recovering. He also help me to correct my form during workout!
At On Point Physical Therapy, I had the pleasure of working with Ariel, my first experience with a physical therapist. From the initial evaluation to the end of each session, Ariel had a clear game plan. Each session featured a step-by-step routine that I could easily incorporate into my daily activities, all customized to help me achieve my recovery goals. Ariel followed up with me weekly to ensure I was staying on track and doing the exercises. His communication and dedication to his patients are exceptional, and I highly recommend working with him.
Ariel is the best. He has helped me make so much improvement in such a limited amount of time, coming back from an ACL Injury. He really takes the time to understand your body and customize workouts specifically to you. I wish I started working with him earlier!
I recently worked with Ariel rehabbing a shoulder labral tear caused me pain and instability, which affected my ability to lift and do Judo, both of which are big hobbies for me. Ariel took a holistic approach, first testing the initial level of the injury and then doing soft tissue work, improving mobility, and slowly strengthening across the range of motion both during our appointments and by giving me a set of exercises to do on my own time. I’m still gradually dialing the intensity back up, but I’m back to lifting and Judo without pain. Ariel and On Point are strongly recommended and given the successful shoulder rehab I will be going back soon to work on some knee pain I’ve had since childhood.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I recently had the pleasure of visiting Ariel's physical therapy clinic in Queens, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere. Ariel has a unique and tailored approach to therapy that truly sets him apart.I came in with a sports injury that had been bothering me for some time, and Ariel took the time to assess my situation thoroughly. Their team crafted a personalized rehabilitation plan that not only addressed my specific needs but also educated me about the healing process. It was evident that he genuinely cared about getting me back to full strength, and it made all the difference!If you’re in need of physical therapy, do yourself a favor and visit Ariel’s clinic—your body (and peace of mind) will thank you! 🌟🙌
I can't thank Ariel enough for helping me with my recurrent knee pain. After some disappointing experiences with physiotherapy in the past, I was pretty skeptical, but Ariel completely changed my perspective. He genuinely cares about his patients and stays up-to-date with the latest medical trends. By combining traditional questionnaire-based assessments with advanced, device-based measurements, Ariel really understood my issues and tailored an optimal training plan for me. Now I can do things I couldn’t before, all thanks to Ariel!If you’re looking for a physiotherapist who truly cares and knows what they’re doing, I highly recommend Ariel.
Highly recommend Ariel! He is so knowledgeable and compassionate. Both his personalized approach to sports injury treatment and his physical therapy facility in Long Island City Queens are top notch.
"Coach Ariel Osharenko and On Point Physical Therapy use a holistic approach when solving problems and issues. Sometimes these are complex matters requiring a high level of attention and detail. Within his high-performance model, Ariel is able to create a simplistic solution for the client that is also understandable."
I came to Ariel after dislocating my shoulder. He very quickly helped me regain my range of motion and strength. I really appreciate how he went in depth in teaching me what I'd need to do to recover, and in some ways my shoulders are better off than before my injury.
Highly recommend Ariel! He is so knowledgeable, attentive, compassionate and spent more time for the session than other therapists . I need foot physical therapy after my sports injury and haven’t found a satisfactory one until I met Ariel. “
Ariel and his team are so knowledgeable and compassionate about providing the best personalized care. They do not rush you like some other places, and I got the best sessions I ever had. Thank you!
I started physical therapy with Aerial on the recommendation of my acupuncturist. I’ve been experiencing hip pain on and off, and it had recently flared up. Aerial was responsive, attentive, and quickly created a recovery plan. He used a combination of techniques (massage/stretching) and strength-building exercises to address my issue. He put me on an exercise plan, which I follow regularly. Neither of us expected I would recover this quickly, but I am now pain-free. If you are looking for a dedicated and results-focused physical therapist, you know who to go to!
The best in the game! Ariel is an amazing PT, and is someone who knows all about getting you back to your optimal performance levels while coaching you through every point in your recovery. Grateful to get to work with him.
I was referred to Ariel by a friend after cycling through several different PT’s after breaking my patella. He was the first one who took the time to really customize our sessions for me specifically, so that I didn’t feel like just another number, like many of the other places I’d tried. He’s not only extremely knowledgeable and great at what he does but he’s also just a wonderful person. After I had to have a second surgery he continued to check in on me and it made such a huge difference in my recovery! My leg is still not 100 percent but it’s still improving every day and I attribute so much of what I’ve overcome physically and mentally to working with him.
Just want to express my most sincere gratitude to ArielFor 10 years, I had very tense back and very tight hamstrings following back herniationToday is the first day in years that I sit with straight legs, without any pain or discomfort. Ariel tried a variety of approaches for weeks until we found the right set of exercises & manual therapy, and I am getting better & more flexible day by dayIf you are in NYC, can’t find a better professional 🙏🏻
Highly recommended. The On point gym and facilities are top-notch for the area. I was especially impressed by Ariel’s knowledge of PT and Sports Medicine. You can tell he is genuinely passionate about treating his patients, and his positive energy adds a boost too!
Ariel is an amazing. He goes above and beyond to make sure the recovery progresses smoothly. I had worked with him for almost 5 months post-surgery. Best and most attentive PT I have ever worked with.
Ariel helped me through some significant neck pain and was a fantastic resource throughout the process. He was patient and understanding but not afraid to encourage me to be my very best in recovery. Though I hope I do not have need of his services again in the near future, there is no better person to have as your PT.
I started working with Ariel after a back injury at the gym but the truth is that I’ve had experienced lower back pain for over two years. I appreciate the dedicated 1:1 time during our session and professionalism. He is very knowledgeable and explains everything very thoroughly. I’ve seen a lot of good progress so far and highly recommend him. Best PT in the area ✌🏼
ariel is one of the best in this field, very reassuring and responsible. he takes his time with every athlete/patient and makes sure the athlete/patient themselves understand how their injury works too. was very stressed out about my injury but after he told me the recovery time won’t be long I felt great! even threw my crutches away afterwards :). He is my go to guy if I ever do get injured!
Ariel is a truly exceptional physical therapist. After having lower back and glute injuries for a number of years, Ariel has significantly improved my condition, and I have regained strength that I haven’t had in years!I highly recommend Ari and the On Point way of training.
I recently worked with Ariel for several weeks on my wrist and shoulder after dealing with some pain and numbness potentially related to carpal tunnel. I was feeling discouraged when I first showed up, but Ariel quickly helped to improve my symptoms as well as my attitude, making me more hopeful each week. My wrist/arm now feels so much better! Ariel gave me tons of stretches to do on my own, but also made great use of the time I was in our sessions. Most importantly, I always felt listened to and like my experience was heard and understood. Ariel is so friendly and encouraging, and I can’t thank him enough for helping me get back some normalcy!
Ariel is, hands down, the best PT I've ever had the pleasure of working with! He is extremely knowledgable, and diligent in his effort of pinpointing down the root cause of the issue, and fixing it. What I also really appreciated is that Ariel took into consideration my athletic pursuits in Jiu Jitsu and snow sports, even though I am not remotely close to being a professional athlete, and helped me optimize my performance in those areas, while I was working on my problem areas.For context, I've been dealing with a chronic back pain for the good part of the last 10 years, and I've gone to numerous doctors, physio therapists, and chiropractors across few countries to no avail. I am happy to say that only after few sessions with Ariel, I started to see improvements, and at the end of my treatment plan I was fully pain free. I would highly recommend Ariel to absolutely anyone!
Ariel helped me tremendously after a very complicated surgery on my knee (two implants of osteochondreal bone and cartilage and an anteriorizing tibial tubercle osteotomy - basically a bone realignment and two plugs of someone else’s knee parts in my patellar region of the knee). Ariel literally came to my apartment and brought his PT table to help me. He structured exercises specifically for me and sent me homework complete with visual instructions and sometimes videos to remind me how to do the exercises correctly. He cares - he would follow up with texts to make sure I was on track! I actually sought out Ariel specifically for this recuperation because he had been my PT way back after my 4th knee surgery, which was also complicated (de novo implant). He was phenomenal. I had seen other PTs in btwn 4th and 5th surgeries but none compared to Ariel, and I knew for a surgery of this magnitude I needed the absolute best. Yes, it is a bit pricey, but you will go much farther and faster with Ariel helping you. Consider yourself in excellent hands if you are lucky enough to work with him!
On Point PT is where physical therapists go to have their injuries healed. As a PT with over 39 years in practice, I felt comfortable bringing my ortho sports injuries to Ariel. I trust his whole person approach, based on the latest scientific research and common sense approach, rather than cookie-cutter fluff that is out there. He doesn’t just helps you to resolve the issue, but adjusts your approach to a specific activity to make you do it better and safer, with pre- and post routines. Thank you for helping our community
Ariel is one of the most knowledgable and caring physical therapists I have ever worked with. He not only has a great deal of experience but he clearly researches his patient's conditions to learn as much as possible about how best to treat them. I would recommend him to anyone.
Ariel helped me with a sports injury. I liked that the entire session (and each appointment) was with him, and I didn't get passed around to assistants or other therapists. See Ariel, do your exercises, and you'll be well on your way to playing your sport again!
10/10 experience- Ariel's expertise in assessing and addressing specific needs was evident from the first session. Attentively listens to concerns and provides detailed instructions for exercises to do at home as well. As an athlete, I greatly appreciate Ariel's approach to long term solutions so that I could get back to doing the activities I enjoy. The clinic is clean and well-equipped. Highly recommend!
I've worked with Ariel for a couple of months in relation to a hip injury and the process has been amazing. Ariel is one of the first PTs that I've worked with that really tried to get to the root cause of the problem. Through a combination of soft-tissue work and mobility/strengthening exercises, I am not only pain-free, but have better mobility and movement than I've had in years. Ariel was always focused on the long-term solution and not a quick fix. He is extremely competent and super friendly! Be prepared to put in some work yourself but if you are willing to invest in yourself, with Ariel's help, the end result is totally worth it. I fully recommend Ariel!
I recently had a fantastic experience at On Point Physical Therapy, where Ariel played a crucial role in my recovery from a sustained back injury incurred during CrossFit. The welcoming atmosphere, coupled with Ariel's expertise and kindness, made my therapy sessions truly exceptional. From the thorough assessment to the personalized treatment plan, Ariel's dedication to my well-being was evident. Between sessions, he maintained thorough communication, consistently checking in on my well-being throughout the week and suggesting exercises for me to do at home. The facility is well-equipped, clean, and efficiently managed, creating a positive rehabilitation environment. I highly recommend On Point Physical Therapy for the care and compassionate approach. Thank you, Ariel for helping me on my road to recovery!
Ariel is the best!! I tore my ACL and doing rehab with him was very efficient. I was able to get back on the court and playing in a good amount of time.
Went to Ariel to rehab from a patellar tendon rupture- he is very knowledgable not only from a PT standpoint but also strength and conditioning, if you are looking to get back to playing sports after a major ligmaent injury, he will definitely get you back to doing what you love.
I came to Ariel recently while training for the NYC marathon. I had an injury about a month away from the marathon and was feeling very disappointed and anxious. I found Ariel to consult with and he quickly was available for our first appointment. He immediately made me feel like I was in good hands and explained what I had going on with in depth knowledge and reassurance. He helped me immensely throughout the month leading up to the marathon with once a week visits with individualized support and strength exercises to complete in between, as well as a running progression. I was even able to complete the marathon! Ariel is knowledgeable, kind, supportive, and motivating! I wish I had gone to him sooner in my running journey, but he has given me tips that I will continue to apply in my running and use to continue to get stronger. I couldn’t have done the marathon without him and I highly recommend him for any of your physical therapy needs!! Thank you SO much Ariel!
Ariel is the best PT I've ever had, I came in due to outer hip pain which stopped me from being able to barbell squat, he identified my weaknesses and helped fix them, now I cannot remember the last time I felt this strong and athletic.He improved my core strength, hip strength in all directions, and my power in single-leg movements. I am able to move much better in Muay Thai training and in the gym, I feel more stable and powerful.I recommend everyone to hire Ariel.
Ariel was great and helped me recover faster than I expected. I had a complete tear of my pec and with Ariel I’m almost back I benching the same weight in three months. Super encouraging and easy to talk. Highly recommend him for PT
Exceptional expertise by Ariel! This has been a game-changer for me. He treated my foot pain from plantar fasciitis and the pain has remarkably decreased, allowing me to wake up and walk in the morning without foot pain and enjoy my morning walks. I'm thrilled to say that I'm also back to running 3 miles in the park with ease. Highly recommend Ariel for anyone seeking effective relief from plantar fasciitis or any injury.
Absolutely stellar experience with Ariel! Thanks to his expertise, my knee pain has significantly diminished, allowing me to confidently return to running 3-4 times a week!
I can’t say enough good things about Ariel and On Point Physical Therapy! Ariel’s breadth of knowledge, commitment to a hyper focused and customized treatment and recovery plan, and intense one on one focus are above and beyond. Add to that his curiosity and eagerness to think outside the box, picking up on things others had missed, and you could not ask for a better PT. I am not a high profile professional athlete but Ariel treated my dedication to my athletic pursuits and desire for recovery just the same and it was very clear how invested he was in my getting back on the track!
Ariel is a phenomenal PT! I came to him for shoulder rehab after an injury that lead to rotator cuff and labrum tear. Shoulder health is ultra important to me as I am a surfer, so I need to not only recover but get back to an athletic level. Keeping my goal in mind, Ariel designed a plan customized for me that includes both in person sessions and at home exercises, for which he would check in with me to make sure they were understood and executed. Three months later, I am back in the water surfing better and stronger than ever with no shoulder pain. On top of that he’s just an amazing friend to spend time with. I highly recommend Ariel to anyone looking for an effective PT, especially if you’re an active person who cares about the post rehab performance.
I can’t imagine a better physical therapist than Ariel. He has so much experience and knowledge that helped create a customized plan for healing and recovery and what my own unique body and potential complications might have needed. On top of that a great human being and a pleasure to spend time with each session
This guy change my life,,, I was one of those guys who want it to have a good looking 54 helthy guy with a strong body and sharp mind he start to make me understand every step to make a the change that I was looking for, he rent went to my house and check my fridge ! Now few years later I am so thankful not only because he teach me the right steps to tak to become who I want to be but I game a friend on the way too ! 💪 THANK YOU !
I am extremely satisfied with the results. From the moment I stepped into Ariel's clinic, I experienced prompt service and a welcoming atmosphere.Ariel's exceptional bedside manner and professionalism were apparent from the start. Not only did Ariel listen attentively to my concerns, but they also conducted a thorough assessment to identify the root cause of my problems. Their expertise and knowledge were evident as they quickly pinpointed the underlying issues.What truly sets Ariel apart is their ability to provide tailored exercises that precisely targeted my specific needs. The exercises recommended by Ariel were highly effective, and I could feel the progress as I diligently followed their instructions. Thanks to Ariel's guidance, I was able to regain strength and mobility, allowing me to resume weightlifting and running, which I thought I might never be able to do again.I wholeheartedly recommend Ariel as a physical therapist.
Dr. Osharenko of On Point Physical Therapy has helped me return to competitive athletic competition time and time again. He's very knowledgeable and hands on. He performs treatment, personally guides each recommend exercise and provide the steps needed to speed recovery. As an athlete, I've suffered many injuries that required physio therapy. Hence, I've seen multiple physios in the past. I can say without a shadow of doubt that Dr. Osharenko stands alone as the most effective therapist I've seen. I highly recommend his service and skip all physios to go directly to Dr. Osharenko when I suffer an injury.
Ariel helped me to recover from a lingering calf and hamstring tear. It was such a positive experience, I started sports performance training with him as well.Ariel is a scholar in the field, keeping up with the latest research to provide clients with the best methodologies. I highly recommend
Ariel is an amazing PT. He takes the time to understand the cause of your injury and treat it so you can return to life and sports better than before. It’s easy to see why so many professional athletes go to him.
Best PT Trainer In New York! Knows What He Is Doing & Very Educated In His Profession As Well. Very Patient, Motivational & Understanding. Will Push You Pass Your Limits Not Any Ordinary PT Trainer So Good Luck 💯
Ariel is a great PT and I highly recommend seeing him if you have an injury or are experiencing any pain. 6 months ago I could barely walk due to severe back pain. Ariel not helped me fully recover from this pain, but also shared tips on how I can work on getting better over time. Prior to seeing him, I saw a few other PTs who I had bad experiences with so my expectations were pretty low. I now no longer have any back pain which is honestly the best feeling since the pain was unbearable. Other than helping overcome this injury, Ariel supported me and kept motivating to push through this difficult time. He is not only a great PT but an awesome person, he truly cares about his patients. This was a very difficult time for me, so to have someone to help me get better and support me a long the way is something I am very thankful for!
Excellent! Ariel is skilled, knowledgeable and thoughtful in his approach. As an athlete himself, he’ll not only aid in rehab, he’ll have you back on your feet moving again. I always found PTs and sports MDs to be out of touch but working with him has been a delight. Can’t recommend him enough.
This guy has brought me back to life more than once and the only mistake I made was not going to see him enough. Ariel is a class act, super knowledgeable and I wouldn’t trust my body with anyone else. You will not regret working with this guy.
Ariel is professional, honest, and knowledgeable. I was 5 months post op acl revision surgery when I came to see him. He was methodical with our approach, we hit all important pieces of rehab every session (joint manipulation, stretching, agility, and strength). I was able to improve my strength, mobility, and most importantly, knowledge of my body and how to continue to improve after our sessions. After 2 months of consistent work he’s helped me get back to playing again.
Ariel is by far the best physical therapist I have been to. His knowledge on different techniques and exercises helped me tremendously with my knee and hamstring pain as a basketball player. He also has great attention to detail and is a great person I would highly recommend him if you are struggling with an injury as an athlete or for any everyday person.
It's been an incredible experience working with Ariel. 10/10 would highly recommend him. I began seeing him after a spinal/neck surgery (ACDF). Right from the beginning I could immediately tell how professional he was. He gives 100% attention to each of his clients. Whether a pro athlete or regular civilian he approaches every person with the same amount of detail and care. On top of the hands-on Physical Therapy, he created a tailored workout plan for me, and updates it accordingly to my progress. Would not be where I am today without him!Above all he's a genuinely great guy, even drove me home during a thunderstorm so I wouldn't get soaked.
I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Ariel a few year ago. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. Perhaps most importantly he brought a passion to the training which encouraged me to push myself towards reaching my goals. Ariel was consistently re-evaluating methods to achieve best results and clearly explaining his reasoning. I had complete confidence that I was getting expert advice and could focus my sole attention to the physical effort. I highly recommend Ariel and On Point Physical Therapy.
Ariel is a great guy and a fantastic therapist. I’m a former college athlete and started working with Ariel years later to help me correct overcompensations and rehab unaddressed injuries I had developed as an athlete, exacerbated by COVID-related exercise/equipment limitations. He helped me recover to a level beyond what I thought prior injuries would permit, and most importantly, gave me a unique and highly customized exercise program to prevent future injuries and address other biomechanical deficiencies I was previously unaware of. He is incredibly knowledgeable and truly committed to each client’s recovery and development
10/10! It’s called on point therapy for a reason. I’ve worked with Ariel for a few months now, and can’t thank him enough for overcoming pains in the back, leg, and arm 💯💯. Very understanding and amazing work!
Ariel is a great guy, amazing trainer, also gives great insight on how to become a better athlete based on the training we do. I feel that he pushes me and always works at my speed and it makes it a very engaging experience.
I have worked with Ariel repeatedly over the years since 2012. His knowledge of mobility and functional strength is excellent, and he is able to provide a comprehensive solution to any nagging injury or imbalance by providing a holistic plan that targets not only the problem area but the supporting muscles and movements as well. Highly recommended.
Ariel was able to identify the root cause of my issue in the first session. He was very professional throughout my treatment and very timely in sharing my PT plan after our sessions. Highly recommend!
As a Track & Field athlete, it is IMPERATIVE that I surround myself with positive, committed, and wise counsel. Ariel was that and MORE! Not only was he an amazing Strength & Conditioning Coach but a phenomenal mentor. He has helped to gain strength physically, mentally and emotionally that recommending him is inevitable. A genuine gift of the Creator. I am honored to have worked with him. Don’t hesitate to book him.
Ariel is very knowledgeable, cares about his patients and is always building his expertise. He is serious about proving outstanding care but at the same time is fun to work with.
Ariel is a wonderful PT and trainer. I’ve known him for a few years and he has always been willing to discuss any issues I am having. My bf and I have trained with him and recently I had a scary injury before a long vacation where I knew I was going to walk a lot and he helped me get better in just two sessions! Bummer that he doesn’t take insurance because that makes the sessions expensive but at the end of the day you get what you pay for! No nonsense and one-on-one attention. He is not going to tell you that you need surgery and he’s not going to pressure into coming back. He understands the body and can give you great tips on how to get your mobility and strength back. He has extensive training and is the best PT I have worked with! Leaps and bounds ahead of the bozos at HSS.
Ariel is a great therapist, he knows exactly how to approach each physical problem, and I always turn to his assistants when I need a professional advice for me or my family.
Ariel has been of amazing help. Hhe has been able to reassure me about the gravity of my injury and then walk me through the whole rehab with frequent follow ups and and excellent flexibility of his schedule. very profesional but also friendly.
I had been having significant pain in my knee, and reached out to Ariel. In just one session, he was able to diagnose what was going on, tell me what repetitive movements were causing my pain, and give me exercises to fix it. His professionalism and expertise, as well as his great attitude, were always on display and immediately helpful. I recommend Ariel to anyone who needs a physical therapist - I have never worked with anyone who is as effective. Thanks Ariel!
I trained with Ariel for a few months after suffering from hip pain. He worked to help me increase my mobility and strength. I am now back in action and pain free! Ariel is incredibly knowledgeable and great to work with.
Ariel is an amazing and highly educated professional. He approaches the problem with different techniques which helps to heal faster. My neck and I are eternally grateful 🙂 Definitely recommend!
I’ve been a runner for most of my adult life, but after breaking my foot, I was plagued with injury after injury. I threw in the towel and thought I would never run again. You know, my life was over ☺. I was seeing Ariel for PT (non-running related), and he offered to help me run again. Who could refuse? As a trainer and a PT, Ariel possesses the right blend of kindness and deep knowledge of how bodies move. If a movement hurts or strains, he adjusts it or replaces it. He listens carefully and is encouraging. He builds an individual program for you, matching your current needs, and progresses you towards your goal. With Ariel’s expert guidance, you too could be getting stronger and doing the sport you love!
Ariel helped my recovery from crippling sciatic pain issues in a very short amount of time. He taught me a proper routine of stretches and exercises to target my nerve pain directly. Highly recommended!
Ariel is a physical therapist in a class of his own. His extensive knowledge and abilities provide for a professional experience that stand alone. I had a chronic injury that did not respond to prior PT treatment until I met Ariel. He quickly diagnosed my problem, and had me feeling great in no time. I highly recommend him!!!
Ariel is an incredible physical therapist, and I cannot recommend him more highly! I was experiencing severe and debilitating mid-back pain, mostly from sitting at my desk to much working on a computer, making it difficult to go to work. Regular physical therapy over six months only reduced my pain about 20%, while massage and acupuncture only provided temporary relief. I did only six sessions with Ariel, and he cured my pain COMPLETELY AND PERMANENTLY. His functional model, understanding how your whole body works to cause pain, and using specific, targeted exercises to strengthen your body and solve your pain, was a revelation. Any time someone is in pain or needing a physical therapist, I immediately recommend Ariel. If you need physical therapy, see him - he's the best!
I am a professional boxer 17-2 15ko I tore my bicep and had surgery in March. After surgery I went with the doctors recommended physical therapist, the therapy was for a 90 yr old. I did research and found Ariel, from our first session not only did my bicep start feeling better but my confidence in my arm and myself rekindled. For a professional athlete or anything you do confidence is crucial, he introduced me to new methods of rehab and training like BFR blood flow restriction. If you are a person who wants to get back and better from were you where before the injury Ariel is the man. I always tell him he is God sent, many people told me dont try to fight again but I hear Ariel telling me not only are you going to fight again but you will become world champion!! Thank you Ariel for all you have done.
Ariel is highly professional and skilled physical therapist. I've been suffering from an ankle injury for more than a year and Ariel helped me to return to playing soccer again.I cannot recommend him highly enough!
When Ariel and I both lived in Washington, DC, he was my trainer. Ariel approached our work together not only from what was good exercise, but he also brought the knowledge of medicine and physical therapy to our work both enhancing the workout, and preventing injury. And he is an incredibly nice and interesting man -- I highly recommend Ariel!
Ariel is a fantastic trainer and just all around great person! He really cares about making sure everything you’re doing is not only the best for your body, but also challenges you to push yourself to learn new things. He introduced me to weightlifting and when I relocated outside of NY, my new trainer in California is always thrilled to do weight lifting because my “technique is so sound” — that’s all Ariel!
Through three years of training, Ariel was fundamental to my health and fitness. The lessons learned from him continue to serve me well. I am so thankful for the guidance and care I received from Ariel. If he was still in my city I would still be working with him.
Ariel was recommended by my personal trainer for help with a sore shoulder. He was extremely knowledgable, diagnosed the problem and worked with me on therapeutic exercises. Wonderfully nice guy and very professional.
Extremely knowledgeable, really knows what he is doing and explains everything clearly, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Best PT I have ever had. Thank you!
