“Reema is so knowledgable and informative! I have never broken a bone before, so she took the time to explain the situation, what will be needed and our plan for the upcoming weeks. I absolutely recommend her for any bone needs!”
Olivia M.February 23, 2024
“This therapist is extremely knowledgeable and explains everything in a way that is clear and concise. Her goal, she says, is for us to be able to continue the treatment at home, independent of her. The exercises she gave me to do at home were completely manageable and not overwhelming. She is very friendly and personable, exuding warmth. I highly recommend her.”

Professionlism and knowledge of my particular condition.
September 1, 2023Laurie P.Verified patient
Though Zocdoc confirmed the appointment, it was apparently not confirmed by clinic. I was told They didn’t see the appointment because receptionist was away. Eventuathey didn’t see me. I wasted my time, money and of course no care was provided.

I had a wonderful experience during my recent visit with PT Dr. Reema Kava. In just half an hour, she astutely identified the weak muscle groups that were contributing to my back pain and sciatica issues. Dr. Kava provided a detailed explanation, breaking down the anatomical aspects of the problematic muscle groups. Her dedication to helping me understand the root causes of my discomfort was truly appreciated. She also gave me effective home exercises to strengthen these areas. I never imagined I could gain such valuable insights about my health in such a short time. I am incredibly grateful to have found her.

Seema Kava impressed me with her general medical knowledge and the confidence with which she demonstrated in how her services as a physical therapist would help relieve the pain I was experiencing. I was very impressed with this initial visit.

Reema is amazing, truly incomparable. I had never seen a PT before and was skeptical it would help, but now I just wish I had gone earlier. She is always perceptive and professional, with clear explanations for everything and an infectiously upbeat confidence. Simply the best!

I’ve been receiving treatment from Reema Kava at RPT for three months, following a nasty bicycle collision. After thoughtfully assessing my damaged shoulder she began her work, explaining to me what was going on inside the damaged joint and how we should fix it. Her knowledgeable and direct manner transmits a positive and professional sense of healing. I can recommend Reema as a first-class therapist.

Reema has helped me recover from knee surgery on and off, and she has done a fantastic job. I had to see another PT because I was going back and forth from school, and it was clear that she knew much more than my other PT. She really knows what she is doing. I highly recommend her!
More than 1 year agoCB

Reema and the entire staff at Recovery Physical Therapy go above and beyond each time I visit.
Not only does the practice have skilled, knowledgeable therapists. They also provide services that other offices do not, such as allowing patients to use their equipment without an appointment.

Reema is THE BEST physical therapist you could've ever found!!! She is super professional with her techniques, and she is soooo caring and friendly that every single patient of hers gets taken care of fully. My back pain has gone completely after seeing her for 3 months and I know I cannot live without this amazing therapist. I have seen other therapists, but she is the BEST one out of all of them. Recommend Reema 100000%

The visit is always smooth and the vibe in the clinic is very supportive and positive. I’ve been there for around four month now because of a herniated disc. There’s once that it’s so hurt i barely walked myself into the clinic (also just cried out in the clinic ??) but after the session with Reema’s help I was able to walk myself home way way less painful. I am very very grateful for Reema’s help, I could feel myself healing faster and happier day by day! Reema is the best pt I’ve ever been to in NYC! She was able to greatly decrease my pain in the first visit and truly care for her patient!! No words could show my appreciation ????

Reema is a fantastic PT who takes the time to understand why I’m having pain, think about the most effective treatment, and explain to me the mechanics. She is incredibly compassionate and kind, and I feel like truly cares about getting her patients better. Since working with her, I’ve seen great progress in knee pain that I have been struggling with for two years and wasn’t able to resolve with another PT.
More than 1 year agoAH
My Physical Therapist, Reema, has a lot of knowledge, and show great enthusiasm to the patient. She’s explained very clearly why I have had the pain and how to do to reduce it.
She also knows how to handle the insurance company to get the most visits approval.
The location is very convenient if you work at midtown of NYC.

Rema is truly one of a kind. She is motivating, fun and if you are willing to put in the work will get you where you need to be. After my knee surgery, she helped me get back to better than before. I feel very fortunate to have found such an incredible PT
More than 1 year agoSN
I’ve been seeing Reema for months and she is by far the best physical therapist I have seen. She is incredibly kind and takes the time to explain not only what causes my pain but also how the exercises I’m doing will help to treat it. She is someone who truly cares about her patients and their progress. Would recommend her to anyone needing physical therapy treatment, particularly if it is you first time, if you want a practitioner who will be informative, caring, and friendly at every visit.

PT, Reema was extremely profesional and is exceedingly knowledgeable in her field. She was cautious when it came to my pain tolerance but was able to help me through the healing process, and supported me in regaining mobility in my foot after my surgery. I received PT services for about 6 months and everyone in the office is friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

More than 1 year agoRW
Professional, courteous, respectful, for what I endured this past year. 2 very tough surgeries, at 63, my therapist was knowledgeable, of the required treatment, not overbearing, just enough to keep me engaged in the office therapy and my expected home exercises.
I do require additional surgery, wouldn’t want to have my PT with anyone else.
