This National Physical Therapy Month, we’re highlighting something that sets physical therapy apart: hands-on care. It’s how a lot of the real work gets done. While exercises and movement are important parts of recovery, skilled manual therapy can help your therapist better understand how your body is moving and where you may be experiencing restrictions.

A therapist’s hands can gently guide a joint through a range of motion you may not be able to reach on your own, while also feeling for areas of stiffness, resistance, or subtle changes in movement. That hands-on feedback can help your therapist make informed adjustments and tailor each session to what your body needs that day.

That’s why you get one-on-one time with your own therapist at every visit. Your care isn’t rushed or one-size-fits-all. It’s built around you, your goals, and how you’re progressing along the way.

Ready to get started? Schedule an appointment today and take the next step toward moving and feeling your best.

Look at what this custom splint does—and what it allows you to keep doing. ✋

A custom splint provides targeted support while preserving as much movement and function as possible. Unlike a one-size-fits-all splint, it’s molded specifically to your hand and tailored to your needs.

Benefits of a custom splint include:

* Supports and protects the injured or healing area
* Helps reduce pain by limiting unwanted or painful movement
* Promotes proper positioning of the hand and wrist
* Allows healthy movement in the areas that don’t need to be restricted
* Helps maintain function during everyday activities
* Can be adjusted as you heal and your needs change

The goal isn’t to restrict your entire hand—it’s to provide support where you need it while preserving movement where you don’t.

If you’re dealing with pain, an injury, or recovering from surgery, a custom splint may help support your recovery while keeping you as functional as possible.

It’s National Physical Therapy Month, so let’s talk about one of the most common goals we help patients reach: getting their range back. Reaching overhead shouldn’t be the hardest part of your day. A simple wall-ball exercise can help improve shoulder mobility by guiding your arm through a smooth, controlled range of motion. As your hand slides the ball up the wall, the surface provides support and feedback to help you maintain proper alignment and move more naturally.

The hand placed on your back plays an important role, too. It helps you recognize common compensations, such as shrugging your shoulder, arching your lower back, or leaning away from the painful side. While these adjustments may help you reach higher, they don’t necessarily improve the mobility of the shoulder itself. Focusing on controlled movement and proper technique can help you target the area that actually needs to move.

If reaching, lifting, or moving overhead has become difficult or uncomfortable, the team at H&D Physical Therapy can help identify what may be limiting your movement and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Ready to move with less pain and more confidence? Contact H&D Physical Therapy today to schedule an evaluation!

October is National Physical Therapy Month, and we’re kicking it off with a reminder that hip stability doesn’t always start where you’d think. 🦵 Your adductors, the muscles along your inner thigh, do much more than pull your legs together. They help control the position and movement of your pelvis and thigh bone whenever you shift your weight onto one leg, which happens constantly during walking, climbing stairs, changing direction, or even reaching for something on a high shelf. When the adductors aren’t contributing effectively, other muscles may have to compensate, potentially changing how forces are distributed through the hip and knee. That’s why targeted adductor work can be an important part of a well-rounded hip-strengthening program. A side-lying exercise like this challenges the inner thigh directly while also requiring you to maintain control through your pelvis and trunk, so you’re training strength and stability at the same time. Small muscle group, big role. Worth training with intention.

You don't need a referral to start physical therapy in New York.

Under New York State’s direct access regulations, you can receive up to 10 physical therapy visits within 30 days without a physician’s referral. Depending on your insurance plan, your visits may be covered without requiring a referral.

That means if something has been bothering you for weeks, you may not have to wait for a doctor’s appointment before getting started.

Before your initial evaluation, we contact your insurance carrier to confirm your benefits and any requirements, so you know what to expect.

If you need care beyond the direct access period, we can provide progress notes to your P*P or a specialist of your choice and collaborate on your continued treatment plan. We can also connect you with trusted specialists we regularly work with when additional care is needed.

Kinda chic to get one-on-one time with your physical therapist for the entire session. 🙌

At H&D Physical Therapy, one-on-one care isn't an upgrade — it's just how we treat. No assembly line. No splitting your therapist between three other patients on the floor. Undivided attention, start to finish.

Kinda chic to be PT-owned and operated, too. Every decision about how care gets delivered here is made by people who still treat patients.

And kinda chic to have physical therapy, occupational therapy, hand therapy, and Pilates-based rehab all in one practice — so when your needs shift, you're not starting over with a stranger somewhere new.

Better begins here. 💪

Springs, straps, and a sliding carriage — the reformer looks intimidating, but it's one of the most versatile rehab tools we have. 🌀

Here's why our PTs love it: the springs can assist a movement when you're too weak or too painful to do it on your own, then resist that same movement as you get stronger. One machine, infinite progressions.

That means we can:
✅ Load a joint safely after surgery, without your full body weight on it
✅ Train core stability while you're fully supported
✅ Build strength through a full range of motion in a low-impact way
✅ Retrain movement patterns with real-time feedback from the carriage

Supported positions, controlled resistance, low impact on the joints, and a physical therapist’s eye on your form the whole time. We work with a wide range of injuries, conditions, and life stages, at all skill levels. Every session starts with an assessment of your body and your goals.

Your neck isn't the problem. Your desk setup is. 🖥️

Forward head posture, unsupported arms, and eight straight hours in one position leave your neck and upper back under constant strain. Ergonomic tweaks are step one — but if the pain is already there, your body needs more than a new monitor stand.

Our physical therapists find the real source, restore mobility in a locked-up thoracic spine, strengthen the postural muscles doing the work, and coach you on setup so it doesn't come back. Relief that lasts, not just a temporary fix. 💪
