“I only saw Kyle for a single appointment, but he went above and beyond for me, and demonstrated how he’s both an incredible physical therapist and a great person.
When he realized he didn’t have capacity to book me for a follow up, rather than have me wait, he waived the cost of the appointment, called me, and then directly put me into the hands of another extremely kind and competent physical therapist.
Not to mention that the advice he gave me in my first appointment has already been helping me out. I’d highly recommend Kyle to anyone and everyone. ”

“Dr Kyle O’Flaherty was excellent. A friend recommended him to me. From the time I first talked to him on the phone initially and up to and through the end of the session he educated me about the injury I described and what he saw. He is knowledgeable and showed me how I move as opposed to how I should be moving. He worked on me and after the session I felt better than when I walked in. He did make an improvement in my flexibility today alone and that was an encouragement. I highly recommend him.”

About Dr. Kyle O'Flaherty

Kyle is the best PT I ever found in NYC. His care, wisdom and knowledge made me feel safe and keep reminding to trust the process of healing. So grateful for his guidance and work.

Kyle is passionate, dedicated to his craft, clear and articulate in his communication, puts the patient at complete ease, explains they “why” behind everything he examines and recommends, and has an extremely deep fund of knowledge based on a wealth of experience and continuous learning. I have not had a physical and movement evaluation with targeted goals and a plan to get there like this before. In addition, from an injury risk and prevention standpoint, his advice and recommendations were invaluable.

Kyle, is one of the most down to earth doctors I have every seen. Very professional, very informed and uses every day experiences to explain what’s happening to your body and how to fix the problem. He expects you to work hard and gives you every tool necessary to accomplish your end goal. I will recommend him to anyone.

Every visit builds on prior.
He always reviews prior issues and has a coherent plan
Extremely individualized care
Outstanding clinician and experience.
February 16, 2023Edward G.Verified patient
Dr O’Flaherty was really great at describing what was happening with my injury in layman terms. He took ample time in assessing the injury and laying out w plan for recovery. It’s clear his incentives are aligned with mine in that the strategy is to give me tools so I can recover and prevent future injuries and won’t require limitless PT sessions.

Kyle is a very good doctor. I have had PT on numerous occasions for different issues (knee, both shoulders, back) and Kyle is the best I have had even though the others were good.
January 30, 2023David M.Verified patient
Highly recommend this provider. Kyle is excellent at communicating and super knowledgeable. I’ve been to a lot of PTs and only after visiting Kyle do I really understand the root causes of my injury.
January 10, 2023Ian W.Verified patient
My Experience with Dr. Kyle was welcoming friendly and informative. He took his time to explain what my body was doing to create my issue while he worked on me and at the end of or session gave my guidance on what to do when I workout moving forward to avoid some of my reoccurring symptoms of discomfort and pain.
December 21, 2022Nate B.Verified patient
My first time seeing a physical therapist and the experience was awesome. Kyle was professional and very knowledgeable. He was respectful and made me feel comfortable, I left there feeling hopeful and excited and this journey. Recommend them 100 percent.

I went to see Kyle for post ACL surgery PT but was also suffering from arthritis in my other knee. After an evaluation he began a ground up program that started with new sneakers to help support the base. From there it was exercises that started to retrain and strengthen the muscles that support and operate the knee. When I first saw Kyle I was having constant pain and clicking in my arthritic knee and was told replacement surgery was in my near future (2-3 years) I have seen Kyle 5 times over a month now and have been doing the exercises he has videoed for me both knees are feeling much better now. The arthritic knee has increased range of motion minimal clicking and has gone from constant pain to limited sporadic pain ONE MONTH!

Kyle is one of the best representations of the saying ‘you don’t know what you don’t know’.
Having been a high level sportsman (Rugby) in my teens and early 20’s and being in relatively good shape (visually at least) I thought I’d easily be able to correct my injuries/imbalances with my knowledge of training and a bit of YouTube. Boy was I wrong.
I’ve been struggling with a few injuries over the last few years and have definitely been a bit too proud to try and find a PT that works for me. Having seen a good few and not getting any results from the ones I had seen I felt extremely disheartened - until a friend introduced me to Kyle and he took the time to go through every aspect of what was causing my problems with the utmost professionalism and real depth of knowledge.
Zero ego, really nice, genuine guy who will go out of his way to make sure you are getting the most out of his sessions both inside his practice and out. Cannot recommend him enough — Thanks Dr O’Flaherty!

Kyle has gotten me through quite a few injuries and a major shoulder surgery. He is the one of the most knowledgeable, caring, insightful, and communicative physical therapists in all of NYC (and I have seen a lot over the years). He’s my “goto”. And don’t worry, he’s literally solved all my previous issues and taught me how to strengthen the weak areas and adjust my form during exercises; and taught me new ones. He even showed how incorrectly I used to walk! There is a reason why he has so many pro athlete and celebrity clients too - he’s awesome.
June 22, 2022Alok T.Verified patient
Kyle’s knowledge of both the personal training and physical therapy world gives him a significant edge. I have a complex case, and I have seen many PTs, but Kyle was able to figure out the right plan of action when others couldn’t. Now, I am at a fitness level I never thought I could attain. Kyle is awesome!
June 8, 2022Initials hidden
Kyle is a diamond in the rough. Working with Kyle has allowed me to surpass my fitness goals tenfold. Kyle’s kindness and dedication to his patients makes him one of a kind. I would recommend him for anyone looking for the highest quality individualized care. By far, best PT I’ve ever worked with!

I have severe nerve pain which has been chronic. Kyle went above and beyond in effort to get me to better daily functioning. Kyle has mastered active release technique, and his exercise plans are modified to exactly your needs. He is providing a very individualized and upscale approach to physical therapy that is anything but cookie cutter. Phenomenal person and PT!
May 11, 2022Initials hidden
Kyle is a wonderful Physical Therapist. I have been seeing him for a few months for shoulder pain. I have seen many PTs in the past and they have never known enough about my particular sport (rock climbing) to tailor my recovery accordingly. With Kyle, he builds a custom PT plan that both addresses the problem, but also covers that in-between space of PT and training. The exercises he has given me have not only greatly helped my shoulder, but have made me a strong climber as well as made me far more knowledgeable about my body. Kyle is easy to get in contact with and somehow it isn't hard to get an appointment with him (I hope this doesn't change!). Will definitely continue to see Kyle for any future PT needs.
April 28, 2022Kate R.Verified patient
Kyle is very passionate about physical therapy and helping his clients. His kindness and authenticity distinguish with him from other PTs.
April 27, 2022Initials hidden
Kyle is a great physical therapist because he embodies the mission of his work: helping others, educating people on fitness and health, and doing everything in his power to help manage a client’s health needs.
A perfect example to sum up who Kyle is as a PT and a person:
- Kyle goes over and beyond for people with mobility issues and other disabilities
-Kyle will make individualized treatment plans that engage clients
-Kyle is always on time and professional

If I could have rated Kyle 10 stars I would have. He does not take insurance, but he is worth every single cent. Kyle is dedicated to his work and his patients which shows in the INCREDIBLE results that he fosters. In only a couple sessions, Kyle was able to use A.R.T. and an individualized exercise plan to help me recover the use of my left wrist.
He is extremely generous and truly the best of the best in the industry.
When someone searches for the highest quality physical therapy in Manhattan, they are looking for Kyle.
Whenever someone needs a physical therapist, I immediately send them Kyle’s information because he is so versatile and willing to learn.
****An important note: Kyle has background in personal training as well. He is the PERFECT springboard for going from an injury back into training. A HUGE benefit from his experience is that he fills in that gray area (something very difficult to find).

Kyle provides extremely individualized care. He is extremely patient and polite. Kyle creates a very positive environment with the focus on health and fitness. A clear communicator and very skilled at identifying/addressing the root cause of pain.

A great place, with nice, friendly, and very professional people. State of the art equipment. I highly recommend this doctor as one of the best I have been. He is competent, a good communicator, and he follows up with you by text or calls after the visit. Always very responsive to texts or calls. I have got improvements almost immediately. He complements therapy with physical exercises, which I think helps a lot more.
The practice address is pointing to a residential building and the doorman is borderline rude and does know (and I was told by the doctor that I am not the first one experiencing that) and does not care that the gym next door is where people should be redirected. I would advise adding that in the location description to avoid people having the unpleasant experience I had with the doorman the first time.
March 30, 2022Cesare D.Verified patient
My therapist Kyle gave me very clear and precise feedback about my knee injury. As well as teaching me exercises to recover the muscles I lost. It was essential that I knew this before I went on with my normal life. I am very happy and satisfied with this treatment. Definitely coming back! Thanks Kyle !!!

Kyle is brilliant and had given me great hope that my pain will go away (it is) and that I can run the marathon this year (i will)
March 2, 2022Beth N.Verified patient
Kyle was great - took the time to listen to all of my concerns about my shoulder as they pertained to my specific sport. He clearly has a deep understanding of movement and the body and was able to explain everything in a way that was very clear. When we got to exercises he provided great modifications where I needed them, took videos so I could review correct form, and helped me with posture adjustments that I had never considered. Great overall and I look forward to continuing to work with him.

This review is long overdue. I have worked with Kyle for over a decade on various injury rehabilitation and sports performance matters and have observed him working with many other clients over this time. Over the years, I have also been fortunate enough to work with many of the most well-regarded PTs in the country giving me some perspective. Like many other PTs, Kyle is highly knowledgeable and engaged during treatment. He also has a thirst to keep learning and improving. But I believe that there are two things that really set Kyle apart.
First, Kyle cares about his clients to an unusual extent. Importantly, his clients span all walks of life from professional athletes to children with disabilities; rich and poor. In all cases, Kyle approaches each client with the same care and professionalism. He is just as engaged with the pitcher trying to make it back to the big leagues after a shoulder injury as he is with the 80-year-old lady struggling to walk to the grocery store due to hip pain. He is driven by the opportunity to learn and challenge of helping humans reach their goals more so than recognition or money.
Second, Kyle is uniquely honest. It is difficult to stress this enough. Kyle’s approach is fluid and evolving. Often during sessions, Kyle will pivot exercises when he doesn’t think I’m up for the challenge. I’ve observed him offer a free recovery treatment to clients he pushed too hard. His goal is not to sound right, but to help the client even if it means admitting a mistake. His lack of ego is rare especially in the world of PT.
I’m very fortunate to have Kyle in my corner. Thanks, KO.
December 20, 2021Dan M.Verified patient
Kyle is a very talented therapist. I have had a bad two years and have been treated by him for a torn Achilles, fracture rib and fractured elbow. In each case Kyle was personable and professional. He is also very thorough with treatments. His back ground as a trainer makes sure that as your injury heals and you get full mobility back into every day life. I would highly recommend him. I have used other pt’s in the last 5 years and Kyle is clearly the best.
More than 1 year agoStuart D.Verified patient
I saw Kyle for nerve pain I was having down my leg. In one session he made a massive difference and helped me return to work with considerably less pain and more freedom of movement.
