Dr. Shalom is the BEST Physical Therapist in all of NYC!! Even though I live and work in Manhattan, taking a very short trip to LIC is totally worth it! Highly recommended

Melissa was extremely attentive and gave a first-class examination of my ankle injury. During the session, she performed a number of exercises, observed how I walked and later gave a thorough explanation on what was going on. I feel relieved and determined to get back to 100%. Thank you.

My visit was very informative, I learned different ways to exercise and which ones will help my back issues. The tape applications have been very helpful.

Extremely professional. Melissa is always waiting in the treatment room for me. She is always prepared and I can tell she has reviewed our previous session and has formulated a plan for the day. Melissa is extremely knowledgable and instructs me in a way I can understand and easily assimilate. Her approach is studied but progressive.
