“Jenny is awesome! She takes proper measurements of range of motion and asks everything about your condition for why you're coming in. Not like other PT places that just talk to you for 30 seconds, then throw you on heat pads and the electric stim for 15 mins. Also, she's very friendly and easy to chat with! Definitely will be my go-to PT.”

I was constantly reassured throughout my visit and felt comfortable in the space. The doctor was so helpful and provided much-needed feedback.
I had to switch a pt because of the insurance. Jenny didn't pay attention to the complex issue and history of my back recovery. She asked me to do various flexion movements to increase flexibility. I explicitly told her I don't feel comfortable as it has been a source of pain, yet she continued. She had a student with her, discussing my issues out loud instead of paying attention or listening to me. After one session, I am in bed with the most severe pain in the last few months. It feels like her exercise tore my disc again.
Jenny is awesome! She takes proper measurements of range of motion and asks everything about your condition for why you're coming in. Not like other PT places that just talk to you for 30 seconds, then throw you on heat pads and the electric stim for 15 mins. Also, she's very friendly and easy to chat with! Definitely will be my go-to PT.
Very nice, care and warm to be around.

Jenny is an excellent PT who has helped me with short-term and long-term recovery & pain management. Great energy & spirit as well. Her guidance has helped me minimize & eliminate chronic pain and flare-ups. Highly recommend.
Jenny (and Paul!) have been beyond attentive to say the absolute least. Not only are the physical therapists friendly but caring, engaging, and interested. My treatment/experience was well worth the trip from Brooklyn.

Very professional & knowledgeable.
Jen is extremely knowledgable, she is also creative, adaptive, kind & encouraging she makes me feel confident & optimistic in my recovery.
Jenny did an amazing job. My foot pain drastically improved because of her treatment. I could not have asked for a better physical therapist.
Jenny gave me my life back. I could barely do regular everyday things due to the pain from tears in my knee and shoulders, like, walk down stairs, stand on the subway, do dishes. Now, I am running up and down stairs like a champ and standing all over the place! May be not so many dishes are getting done. All my thanks to Jenny for making me Feel like a whole person again.
I have been working with Jenny for a few months now and have had the best experience. She is super professional friendly, attentive, and overall the best P.T. I have had! I have made so much progress thanks to her program/care.
Very good PT & has extensive expertise.
Jenny is great ! When I first started coming I was in constant pain and having difficulty doing something as basic as going down the stairs. Thanks to Jenny, my knee feels great and I feel like myself again.
Dr.Lu was so helpful, kind, & clearly communicated the exercises. I imagine it is difficult to accomplish over zoom but she made it seem easy!

Jenny is an exceptional and gifted physical therapist. I recommend her unreservedly and have widely recommend to my friends and family. I injured my plevis during pregnancy and was in pain daily. I worked with Jenny twice a week for five months. She is warm, smart, well trained and compassionate. As a result of my work with Jenny I am now pain free. If I ever needed I would only want to work with Jenny going forward. She is the best.
I have benefited tremendously from my time with Jenny as my physical therapist. I first saw Jenny when I was struggling with lower back pain and now, not only do I not experience any such pain, I am also becoming stronger in my core via the program she created for me. From the initial diagnosis to the weekly sessions, Jenny was committed to my health and wellbeing and always provided helpful suggestions. She is very responsive to the needs of her patients. I do not hesitate to say that you will be in very good hands with Jenny.
Jenny is a professional, caring, and knowledgable PT. Working with Jenny has been great as she helps me meet my goals & teaches me how to maintain caring for my body. Highly recommend.
I've worked with other PTherapists and consider Jenny excellent in comparison- breadth of knowledge flexibility to customize exercises, focused, efficient and very pleasant- Highly recommend her.
I had a neck injury that I had been dealing with since August 2021. I started seeing Jenny in January 2022, and 4 weeks later my neck feels so so much better! I'm so glad I found Jenny! She listens and makes sure your session addresses how you are feeling that day. She's so personable, I Always look forward to our sessions! Highly recommend Jenny!
I had a recent surgery and I have been working with her through telehealth sessions so far and she has been amazing. Provided clear instructions and work outs and the app is easy to use.

Bravo! Dr. Lu is an exceptional P.T. While suffering from back pain Dr. Lu has been extremely educational on guiding me towards my goal. She has corrected my poor body mechanics where I can see the difference and feel the improvments. Dr. Lu is patient, attentive, highly skilled and keeps you motivated with her positivity.
Amazing. Even though I had a virtual appointment it’s still went amazing. I was able to explain my issues and the doctor was able to give me a lot of pointers, she took notes and explained to me everything that I needed to do. I would definitely recommend her.

Jenny told me that I was one of the laziest patients she's ever had. Despite my lack of effort, she more than made up for it with her patience, encouragement, ground-breaking methods and humour. Oh, she also allowed me to pick the music!
Love Jenny - Very caring. The whole team is welcoming. Love Jenny's patience and her cues. Have seen a big improvement in pain.
Love Jenny and the whole team. Attention to detail for my specific issues. Welcoming environment. My progress is very encouraging.
It was thorough & very helpful.
Working with Jenny has been so great! She has helped me so much during my last 15 weeks of pregnancy- I was having terrible pelvic floor pain & could hardly walk- now that I'm five days from my due date, I'm feeling better than I was at 25 weeks pregnant! She's also just so wonderful to work with- always so positive, happy & professional! Thank you Jenny.
Amazing!!!

Dr. Jenny was great! My first time trying to treat sports-induced lower back pain and she was a great listener to understand the issue then quickly was able to diagnose the problem. Hopefully the PT sessions alleviate the issue as smoothly as the diagnosis.
Verified patient
Jenny is amazing! I came in with acute neck pain and in a matter of weeks, I’m back to normal. She takes her time to evaluate the exact problem and teaches you proper exercises to not only alleviate the pain now but prevent it in the future. She set realistic goals for me after each session. She is also very kind and always puts me at ease. I cannot recommend Jenny enough!
Verified patient
Jenny's fantastic. I was treated for a pinched nerve resulting from a herniated disk. It was the scariest injury of my life and had me in bed for nearly 3 weeks. I was back walking after a couple of sessions and fully recovered a month or so thereafter. Throughout the process, Jenny was knowledgeble, kind, thoughtful-in terms of the routine, and she pushed me with every session. I will be back if if I'm ever in need of PT.
Very professional. Excellent.
