“Haoyu was very helpful and professional! I had a hip joint pain and he found the root cause very fast and explained to me clearly. I'm feeling much better now. He understands human body very well and can help with all kinds of discomfort. I'll recommend him to any friend.”

“Haoyu is a great physical therapist! He really takes the time to listen and understand what’s going on, and never rushes through anything. He explains everything clearly so you actually understand what’s happening with your body, and he shows each exercise in super clear detail. You can tell he genuinely cares and wants you to get better. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone who knows their stuff and takes the time to do things right!”

About Haoyu Li
I've always believed that movement is the primary way people interact with the world, and I'm dedicated to helping everyone move better. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Peking University and earned both a Master of Education in Applied Physiology and a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Columbia University. I have extensive clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation for complex orthopedic, neurological, and cardiopulmonary conditions. Besides being a Physical Therapist, I'm a strength and conditioning coach who has worked with various populations, from professional athletes to weekend warriors. I'm also a physique competitor who won the first gold medal for my college. As a clinical researcher, I've authored several peer-reviewed publications in heart rate variability, exoskeletons/robotics, virtual reality, ventricular assist devices, neurodegenerative diseases, biomechanical analysis, and smartphone app development. I'm actively involved in ongoing research at Columbia University and New York-Presbyterian Hospital, striving to bridge the gap between clinical practice and research for optimal movement health and performance.

Over the years I’ve had several surgeries which required postoperative physical therapy. After my recent hip replacement surgery I was fortunate to have Haoyu Li as my therapist. He was terrific. He is shortly assessed my needs and developed a rehabilitation plan. He was clear in his instructions, patient while encouraging me to do my best. When treatment was completed he gave me a printout of exercises to continue at home. I am very satisfied with the care I got at StarPro from Haoyu Li.

I have officially graduated today from my Shoulder therapy! I've been going for therapy since mid-December 2024. Haoyu has been Very Patient with me, and has helped me tremendously. I also have hand issues which make it hard for me to do some of the standard exercises for therapy. Haoyu has been great to modify the exercises to accommodate my weak hand. The past six weeks have been especially productive -- Haoyu tried some different techniques that gave me a real breakthrough with my frozen shoulder. I feel quite confident that I'll be able to manage my at-home strenghtening and stretches exercises after Haoyu's careful guidance and suggestions. I have already recommended this location to several people over the past few months. All the staff at this location are respectful and considerate and friendly... They take Good Care of everyone. Thank you so much, Haoyu, so for a great recovery expereince!

I had recent spinal surgery and needed to strengthen my back, core, thighs, etc. I had been to one facility and was not pleased with the inadequate attention the therapist gave me. It was the opposite at StarPro PT. I was assigned to Haoyu Li and he was terrific! He stayed with me and gave me clear instructions on my exercises. He was smart, kind and very patient. I felt that he knew exactly what I needed. The atmosphere in the studio is calm and friendly…I’m thrilled with my experience!

Within two months of working with Haoyu Li, I am back to almost normal and pain free walking after experiencing 10 months of very painful and very limited walking with Achilles tendinitis in both ankles. So excited about this improvement! Thank you, Haoyu! Great facility!

Haoyu is an excellent and informative provider. He’s been helping with runner’s knee for about a month, and I’m feeling much stronger and hitting the gravel again. I couldn’t recommend him more. I always leave feeling very listened to and educated by his expansive knowledge in physical therapy.

I was treated by Haoyu Li from November 2024 to February 2025 and it helped me immensely. I had gotten physical therapy before for right knee pain and left hip pain, but Haoyu was the first therapist to put them together and get to the root of the problem. He was very patient with me (I progressed quite slowly at first), and he explained everything as we went along. He gave me exercises of various levels of difficulty adapted to how I was feeling that day in terms of pain and tiredness. If I needed physical therapy again for the same or different problems, I would definitely go back to Haoyu. I had gotten PT at this location before from a different therapist, and Raheem and Sasha were old friends and both very helpful. The only problem I ever had was with the virtual checkin, when the remote person couldn't find my credit card on file. But Raheem or Sasha always straightened it out for me quickly. Everyone in the office was always super efficient and friendly.

I have physical therapy with Haoyu Li. I find his ways of solving my problems amazingly fitting and effective. I appreciate his expertise and the effort to understand my difficulties and think about what could be most effective way for a particular case in question. To me, his methods to (gradually) achieve goals by avoiding pain are wonderful.
