Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Pain Relief Using StimPod in Chelsea, Manhattan

​ Are you struggling with debilitating heel pain that won’t go away? Does the first step out of bed in the morning feel like you’re stepping on shards of glass? If so, you may be suffering from Plantar Fasciitis, a common yet frustrating condition that affects thousands of New Yorkers. But here’s the good news: At Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy, we offer StimPod therapy, a breakthrough treatment that provides rapid and lasting pain relief. Call us 24/7 at 646-781-8884 to schedule your in-home consultation and experience pain relief like never before. Understanding Plantar Fasciitis: The Root Cause of Your Heel Pain Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that connects your heel bone to your toes. When this tissue is overused or stressed, microtears develop, leading to pain and stiffness, especially in the morning or after prolonged standing. Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis: Sharp, stabbing pain in the heel (especially in the morning) Increased pain after long periods of rest Tightness in the foot arch Discomfort that worsens with walking or running Pain relief after light movement, but worsening with overuse If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. The good news? StimPod therapy combined with hands-on physical therapy can help you find lasting relief. Why Conventional Treatments Fall Short Many people try rest, ice, painkillers, and orthotics, but these treatments only provide temporary relief. Cortisone shots can help, but they don’t address the root cause and may weaken tissues over time. If you've tried traditional methods without success, it's time for a better solution. The StimPod Solution: Advanced Nerve and Pain Relief Technology StimPod is an innovative, non-invasive neuromodulation device that uses radiofrequency (RF) stimulation to target the nerves and tissues responsible for your pain. Unlike traditional TENS units, StimPod reawakens damaged nerves and improves circulation, reducing inflammation and accelerating healing.

Let us help you take the first step toward pain-free living. Call 646-781-8884 today!

#1.) REST:

Complete rest with no rehab plan is the worst thing to do.

If your doctor of physical therapy or ortho or primary care physician says... then find a new doctor!

#2.) Pain Pills Only:

NSAIDs (ibuprofen, etc.) are not going to help your Achilles Calf Pain.

But, it might mask your symptoms, which delays the start of your rehabilitation program. If NSAIDs "take the edge off" of your pain, that's fine. But, once you stop taking them, then be aware of how your calf/achilles feels with running, jumping, cutting, pivoting, or any other dynamic movement or sports activity. If your symptoms return, then it's confirmed that the NSAIDs only masked your symptoms and that you still have not found nor addressed the root cause of your symptoms. 

#3.) Calf Stretching:

Okay, this might seem counterintuitive. Most folks think that stretching would be part of a physical therapy/rehab program for calf/achilles pain.

Unfortunately, there's been a lot of research published on the benefits of eccentric strengthening only as opposed to lengthening and stretching out the calf/achilles tendon. 

#4.) Poking or Prodding The Tendon:

Alright, you're going to be skeptical with this. Any massage, foam rolling, or muscle/tendon scraping may feel good temporarily. But, it will won't fix the underlying root cause of calf/achilles pain associated with achilles Tendinopathy & Tendonitis.

#5.) Night Splints:

Usually used for plantar fasciitis, some folks buy splints on Amazon for their calf/achilles pain. This is similar to the stretching aspect. Splints lengthen the achilles tendon while you're resting or sleeping. 

#6.) Ice, Icing, Ice Packs (or, even Heating Pads):
​
Similar to NSAIDs, icing your calf/achilles tendon pain might feel good temporarily. But, it is not actually making any actual effect to your calf pain/achilles issue.

Now...

Have you been dealing with annoying calf pain?...

Do you struggle with Achilles pain that doesn't seem to completely go away, even though you've tried everything?...

Call us 24/7 at (646)-781-8884 to speak with an Achilles Tendon Specialist.

This is a review/recap:

Paul Ingraham's The Complete Guide to Low Back Pain offers an extensive examination of the myths, controversies, and treatment options associated with low back pain. This guide aims to provide both patients and healthcare professionals with a comprehensive understanding of low back pain, challenging conventional wisdom and presenting evidence-based insights.

Challenging Conventional Wisdom

Ingraham begins by addressing the pervasive myth that low back pain is primarily due to structural abnormalities. He emphasizes that many healthcare professionals mistakenly focus on structural issues, leading to unnecessary and often ineffective treatments. This misconception can result in patients undergoing invasive procedures without significant relief. Ingraham advocates for a paradigm shift towards understanding low back pain as a multifaceted condition influenced by various factors beyond mere structural anomalies.

The Complexity of Low Back Pain

The guide delves into the complexity of low back pain, highlighting that it is not solely a mechanical problem. Ingraham points out that chronic low back pain often lacks a clear pathological cause, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. He underscores the importance of considering factors such as muscle tension, psychological stress, and central sensitization in the assessment and management of low back pain.

Critique of Common Treatments

Ingraham provides a critical analysis of commonly prescribed treatments for low back pain. He notes that many interventions, including certain surgeries and passive modalities, have limited evidence supporting their efficacy. For instance, he references a comprehensive review by the American Pain Society, which evaluated 161 randomized controlled trials and concluded that several popular treatments offer minimal benefit. Ingraham emphasizes the need for patients and practitioners to be skeptical of quick fixes and to rely on treatments backed by robust scientific evidence.

The Role of Muscle and Myofascial Factors

A significant portion of the guide is dedicated to exploring the role of muscles and myofascial tissues in low back pain. Ingraham suggests that muscle dysfunction, including trigger points and myofascial pain syndrome, may be underrecognized contributors to low back discomfort. He discusses how muscle imbalances, overuse, and poor posture can lead to chronic pain and advocates for therapies that address these muscular components.

Psychological and Social Dimensions

Ingraham emphasizes that low back pain is not merely a physical ailment but is also influenced by psychological and social factors. He discusses how stress, anxiety, and depression can exacerbate pain perception and contribute to the chronicity of low back pain.

​Are you struggling with sharp, stabbing heel pain in the morning?

Does it feel like you're walking on needles every time you take your first few steps out of bed?

If you live in Upper West Side, Manhattan, and are dealing with the persistent discomfort of plantar fasciitis, know that you’re not alone.

But more importantly, know that relief is possible—and you don’t have to suffer any longer.

At Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy, our Doctors of Physical Therapy specialize in hands-on, conservative treatments for plantar fasciitis.

We bring expert care directly to your home, ensuring you receive high-quality, one-on-one attention in the comfort of your own space.

What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue (the plantar fascia) that runs along the bottom of your foot becomes inflamed or irritated. 


This often results from excessive stress on the fascia, improper footwear, or biomechanical imbalances in the foot and lower leg.

Some common contributing factors include:

- Overuse from prolonged standing or walking

- Flat feet or high arches

- Tight calf muscles

- Unsupportive shoes

- Sudden increases in physical activity

Conservative Care for Lasting Pain Relief

Our approach to treating plantar fasciitis is rooted in conservative, non-invasive methods designed to heal the fascia, relieve pain, and restore proper foot mechanics.

We utilize hands-on manual therapy techniques, including:

1. Soft Tissue Treatment

Our skilled Doctors of Physical Therapy apply deep tissue massage and other soft tissue mobilization techniques to reduce muscle tension and improve circulation, which speeds up healing in the plantar fascia.

2. Myofascial Release

By targeting trigger points and adhesions within the fascia, myofascial release can help break up tight, restricted areas that may be contributing to your foot pain.

3. Trigger Point Release

Tightness in the calf muscles and surrounding soft tissues can place extra strain on the plantar fascia.

Our therapists perform targeted trigger point release to alleviate these muscular knots and restore proper foot function.

Advanced Treatment Options for Enhanced Recovery

In addition to manual therapy, we incorporate innovative treatments that can accelerate healing and provide lasting relief.

1. StimPod Therapy for Heel & Foot Pain Relief

The StimPod device uses pulsed radiofrequency stimulation to reduce nerve pain, improve circulation, and promote tissue repair. Many of our patients report significant pain relief after just a few sessions.

2. Kinesiotape for Support & Pain Relief

Kinesiotape is an excellent adjunct treatment that helps offload stress from the plantar fascia while providing gentle support to the foot’s arch.

This reduces strain and enhances comfort during daily activities.

​What Causes Arthritis Pain?

Arthritis is an umbrella term for conditions that cause joint inflammation, stiffness, and pain.

The most common forms include:

Osteoarthritis (OA) – Wear and tear of the cartilage that cushions your joints, leading to pain and stiffness.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) – An autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks its own joints, causing chronic inflammation.

Psoriatic Arthritis – Inflammation linked to psoriasis, often affecting the hands, feet, and spine.

Gout – A form of arthritis caused by uric acid buildup in the joints, leading to intense pain and swelling. If you have arthritis, you don’t have to suffer in silence.

The right physical therapy approach can

-reduce inflammation,
-relieve pain, and
-improve your mobility.

How We Treat Arthritis Pain: Hands-On Manual Therapy

Our Doctors of Physical Therapy use a variety of hands-on techniques to ease arthritis pain and improve joint function. Unlike traditional physical therapy clinics, we provide one-on-one, personalized care in your home so that you receive the attention you deserve. Here’s how we help:

1. Joint Mobilizations Do your joints feel stiff and achy? Our therapists use gentle, controlled movements to increase joint mobility and reduce pain. These mobilizations improve circulation, helping your body heal naturally while enhancing your range of motion.

2. Soft Tissue Work & Myofascial Release Arthritis pain often causes muscle tightness and trigger points to develop around affected joints. Our hands-on soft tissue therapy and myofascial release techniques loosen tight muscles, restore normal movement, and reduce pressure on painful joints.

3. Trigger Point Release Do you feel knots and tight spots in your muscles? Trigger points can contribute to arthritis pain by limiting blood flow and increasing stiffness. Our therapists target these painful areas using hands-on pressure to relax the muscles and relieve discomfort.

4. Passive Range of Motion & Assisted Stretching If arthritis is making it difficult to move, our therapists gently guide your joints through their natural range of motion to reduce stiffness and maintain flexibility. Assisted stretching helps relax tight muscles and improve circulation, allowing you to move with greater ease. Advanced Treatment Options for Arthritis Pain Relief In addition to hands-on manual therapy, we incorporate cutting-edge, non-invasive techniques to further enhance pain relief and healing.

5. StimPod Device for Nerve Pain Relief Are you experiencing nerve pain, tingling, or burning sensations due to arthritis? We utilize the StimPod, a breakthrough therapy that delivers painless, pulsed electromagnetic stimulation to reduce nerve pain and inflammation. This innovative approach helps restore nerve function and provides lasting relief without the need for medications.

6. Kinesiotape for Joint Support and Pain Reduction If arthritis pain is limiting your mobility, Kinesiotaping can help. Our therapists apply strategic taping techniques to support your joints, reduce swelling, and relieve pressure on sensitive areas. This method improves circulation and enhances muscle function, allowing you to move more freely and with less pain.

Understanding Why You Feel Off-Balance:

Dizziness is an unsettling and often debilitating condition that can interfere with daily life, making it difficult to work, move, or even relax.

Have you ever experienced sudden lightheadedness, vertigo, or an unexplained loss of balance?

Have you struggled with dizzy spells that make you feel like the room is spinning, or like you're going to pass out? If so, you are not alone.

At Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy, we specialize in evaluating and treating the root causes of dizziness, helping busy New Yorkers regain stability and confidence—all from the comfort of their own home or hotel room.

If you or a loved one is suffering from dizziness, call us 24/7 at 646-781-8884. Let's explore eight major causes of dizziness and how they impact your health.
​

Have you ever stood up quickly and felt like you were about to faint?

This could be due to orthostatic hypotension, a condition where your blood pressure drops suddenly when you change positions.

This happens because blood pools in the lower body, leading to a temporary decrease in oxygen-rich blood flow to the brain. Common causes include:

Dehydration Medications (such as blood pressure meds or diuretics) Prolonged bed rest Underlying neurological disorders If you frequently experience dizziness when standing, it may be time to seek professional evaluation.

Our expert physical therapists can assess your blood flow and develop targeted strategies to reduce dizzy spells.
​

Did you know that certain foods and environmental factors can lead to excess histamine in your system, causing dizziness?

Histamine is a natural chemical involved in immune responses, but when levels get too high, it can trigger symptoms like:

-Dizziness and vertigo,

-Flushing and rapid heartbeat,

- Headaches and nausea

Some individuals have histamine intolerance, meaning their body struggles to break it down efficiently.

If you notice dizziness after consuming fermented foods, alcohol, aged cheese, or cured meats, high histamine levels might be the culprit. We can help identify triggers and recommend dietary changes to minimize these symptoms.
​

Your brain depends on a steady supply of oxygen-rich blood to function properly.

Reduced blood flow to the brain—often due to vascular issues, neck tension, or poor posture—can cause dizziness, brain fog, and difficulty concentrating.

Possible causes include:

- Atherosclerosis (narrowed arteries),
- Vertebrobasilar insufficiency,
- Poor neck alignment (forward head posture).

Our hands-on manual therapy techniques can help improve circulation, relieve tension, and restore normal blood flow to your brain.
​

Have you ever felt dizzy or unsteady when reading, using screens, or walking through crowded places?

Your eyes work together to maintain balance, and if they are misaligned—even slightly—it can confuse your brain and lead to dizziness.

Symptoms of binocular vision dysfunction include:

- Difficulty tracking moving objects

-Eye strain and headaches

-Feeling off-balance, especially in busy environments

We can perform specialized assessments and provide exercises to improve eye coordination, reducing your dizziness and discomfort.
​

Are you drinking enough water?

Many people don’t realize that dehydration can cause dizziness by reducing blood volume, leading to low blood pressure and inadequate oxygen delivery to the brain.

Additionally, an imbalance of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium) can disrupt nerve function, causing symptoms such as:

- Muscle cramps,

-Weakness and dizziness,

-Brain fog.

If you experience frequent dizziness, increasing your water intake and ensuring adequate electrolyte balance can help.

Our in-home physical therapy services include hydration and nutrition guidance to optimize your recovery.
​

Do bright lights, crowded places, or loud noises make you feel dizzy?

​Sensory overload occurs when your brain struggles to process too much information at once, leading to feelings of imbalance, disorientation, and even anxiety.

Common triggers include:

-Busy streets or shopping centers,

-Bright fluorescent lighting,

-Loud environments.

Through vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT), we help retrain your brain to process sensory information more efficiently, reducing your dizziness and improving your quality of life.
​

Proprioception is your body's ability to sense its position and movement in space.

When this system is impaired—due to aging, nerve damage, or injury—you may experience unsteadiness, dizziness, and a higher risk of falls.

Signs of poor proprioception include:

-Feeling like you're swaying or tipping over,

-Trouble balancing with eyes closed,

-Difficulty walking in the dark.

At Concierge Pain Relief, we provide customized balance training to enhance proprioception, helping you feel steadier and more in control.
​

Have you ever felt lightheaded, shaky, or dizzy after missing a meal?

Blood sugar fluctuations—whether from low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) or high blood sugar (hyperglycemia)—can lead to dizziness and other symptoms like:

-Weakness and fatigue,

​-Sweating and rapid heartbeat,

-Confusion or brain fog.

If you experience these symptoms, it’s important to regulate your blood sugar through balanced meals, hydration, and lifestyle adjustments.

Our team can help guide you toward healthier habits to prevent blood sugar-related dizziness.
​

Dizziness can be unsettling and even dangerous, increasing your risk of falls and injuries.

But you don’t have to live with it.

Whether your dizziness stems from blood pressure issues, vision dysfunction, dehydration, or other causes, we offer in-home physical therapy to address the root problem and provide lasting relief.

If dizziness is affecting your daily life, don’t wait--call Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy at 646-781-8884 today.

Our specialists are available 24/7 to help you regain balance, confidence, and control over your health.

Feeling stiff, tight, or just plain uncomfortable after long days in the office or intense workouts?

If you’re tired of the aches and pains slowing you down, call us 24/7 at 646-781-8884. We’ll come to your home or office in the Upper West Side and give you the personalized care you deserve.

​Why Assisted Stretching?

You might be wondering, “Can stretching really make that much of a difference?” Absolutely.

But not just any kind of stretching--assisted stretching performed by a professional is what unlocks true relief and better movement.

Here’s how assisted stretching works:

Improves flexibility by moving your joints and muscles through a greater range of motion.

Reduces muscle tension that builds up from poor posture, repetitive movements, or intense workouts.

Enhances circulation to promote healing and reduce soreness.

Prevents injuries by restoring proper movement patterns. Unlike stretching on your own, assisted stretching allows our experts to target the right muscles and joints with precision, applying just the right amount of pressure and movement to release tightness and restore balance.

Are You Living with Muscle Tightness and Pain?

Do any of these sound familiar?

Your neck and shoulders are constantly stiff after sitting at your desk for hours.

Your hamstrings and calves feel tight and sore after a workout.

Your lower back aches every morning, making it hard to move freely.

You’ve been avoiding physical activity because your body feels heavy and uncooperative.

If you’ve nodded your head at even one of these, you’re not alone. These are common signs of muscle imbalances, tension, and restricted mobility—all of which can be treated with our Assisted Stretching Relief Pro program.

How Our Proprietary Program Works

At Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy, we’ve developed a unique approach to assisted stretching that goes beyond basic flexibility exercises.

We combine hands-on techniques, muscle activation, and dynamic movement patterns to provide fast and lasting relief.

Here’s how we do it:

1. Comprehensive Mobility Assessment We start by assessing your current range of motion, flexibility, and movement patterns. This helps us identify areas of tightness, imbalance, or weakness that may be contributing to your discomfort. We’ll ask questions like:

Where do you feel the most tension or tightness?

What activities have become harder because of your stiffness or pain?

What are your personal movement goals? (Is it to work out pain-free, move better at work, or just feel good again?)

2. Personalized Assisted Stretching Plan Once we’ve pinpointed the areas that need attention, we’ll create a customized stretching plan just for you. Whether it’s your hips, lower back, hamstrings, or shoulders that need the most work, we target the root causes of your tightness to provide maximum relief.

3. Hands-On Stretching Techniques Our expert therapists guide your body through slow, controlled stretches to lengthen muscles and improve joint mobility. We use proven techniques like: PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) for deeper stretches and faster gains in flexibility. Myofascial release to reduce tension in connective tissue. Dynamic joint mobilization to restore healthy movement patterns.

4. Ongoing Progress Tracking We monitor your progress session by session, adjusting your stretching plan as needed to ensure you keep improving. Our goal is to help you feel stronger, looser, and more mobile with every session.

Who Benefits from Assisted Stretching?

Assisted stretching isn’t just for athletes or fitness enthusiasts. It’s for anyone who wants to move better and feel their best—especially if you’re in the following groups:

Busy professionals who sit for long hours and experience tension in their back, neck, and hips.

Active adults who want to improve performance and prevent injuries during workouts.

Older adults who want to maintain independence, avoid stiffness, and keep moving with confidence.

Why You Shouldn’t Wait

The longer you wait to address tightness and pain, the worse it can get. Muscle imbalances can lead to joint problems, limited mobility, and even chronic pain conditions that require more extensive treatment.

But the good news is that taking action now can prevent all of that. With our Assisted Stretching Relief Pro program, you’ll:

Feel immediate relief from tightness and discomfort.

Move more freely with improved flexibility and balance.

Reduce your risk of injury and long-term issues.

Are You Tired of Living with Pain?

Does your back ache after a long day at work?

Do you feel stiffness in your neck or shoulders that just won’t go away?

Are you avoiding activities you love because of chronic knee, hip, or foot pain?

For busy New Yorkers, pain isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a roadblock.

It slows you down, limits your productivity, and takes the joy out of life’s simplest pleasures. But pain doesn’t have to define your day. Our expert physical therapists can help you get back to doing what you love, faster than you thought possible.

Why Choose In-Home Physical Therapy?

Traditional physical therapy clinics are crowded, inconvenient, and often require multiple trips each week. For busy professionals or older adults with mobility challenges, this can be a major barrier to recovery. In-home physical therapy offers a far better experience: Convenience: No commuting, waiting rooms, or lost hours. We come to you. Personalized Care: One-on-one attention from expert therapists focused entirely on your goals. Real-World Solutions: We treat you in the exact environment where you live and move every day. Faster Results: Our hands-on treatments and proprietary recovery programs deliver fast, lasting relief. With in-home care, you get the best of both worlds—clinical expertise and the ultimate convenience.

Our Proven Approach: Fast, Lasting Pain Relief At Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy, we use a combination of hands-on manual therapy and targeted exercises to treat pain at its source. Our evidence-based approach is designed to provide immediate relief while addressing the underlying causes of your pain for long-term recovery. Here’s what makes our programs so effective:

1. Comprehensive Assessment and Personalized Plan We start with a thorough evaluation to understand your pain, movement patterns, and personal goals. From there, we create a customized plan that’s tailored to your needs. We’ll ask you questions like: Where do you feel the most pain, and what makes it worse? What activities have you stopped doing because of your discomfort? What would it mean for you to move pain-free again? Your answers guide our treatment plan, ensuring that we’re addressing the issues that matter most to you.

2. Hands-On Manual Therapy Unlike many clinics that rely on machines and passive treatments, we focus on hands-on care. Our therapists use advanced manual therapy techniques to release tight muscles, mobilize stiff joints, and improve circulation. Immediate Benefits of Manual Therapy: Reduced pain and inflammation Improved range of motion Faster recovery from injury

3. Targeted Exercise and Movement Retraining Once your pain is under control, we’ll guide you through specific exercises to strengthen weak muscles, improve flexibility, and restore healthy movement patterns. This prevents future flare-ups and helps you build resilience. Our movement retraining programs are designed to fit your lifestyle and goals, whether you want to get back to running in Central Park or simply move without pain during your daily routine.

4. Posture Correction and Ergonomic Advice Poor posture and work habits can contribute to chronic pain, especially for those who spend long hours at a desk. We’ll assess your posture and workstation setup, offering simple adjustments that can make a big difference in how you feel.

Conditions We Treat

Our in-home physical therapy programs are highly effective for a wide range of conditions, including:

Back and Neck Pain: Herniated discs, sciatica, cervical stenosis

Joint Pain: Hip, knee, and shoulder pain caused by arthritis or injury

Sports Injuries: Sprains, strains, and overuse injuries

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Recovery after joint replacement, spinal surgery, or other procedures

Chronic Pain Conditions: Fibromyalgia, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis If you’ve been told that surgery or pain medication is your only option, think again. Our holistic, hands-on approach can often help you avoid more invasive treatments.

Why Waiting Makes Pain Worse Ignoring pain or putting off treatment can have serious consequences. Without proper care, pain can become chronic, affecting your mobility, balance, and overall health. For busy professionals, it can also lead to lost productivity and increased stress.

Here’s the truth:

The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to recover. But the good news is that it’s never too late to take action. With the right treatment plan, you can reduce your pain, improve your movement, and get back to living life on your terms.

Your Health, Your Choice At Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy, we believe that you should be in control of your healthcare decisions. Our goal is to empower you with the tools, knowledge, and support you need to take charge of your recovery and stay pain-free for the long term. Don’t let pain slow you down.

Are you constantly dealing with tight muscles, aches, or nagging pains? Do your shoulders, back, or hips feel locked up after sitting at a desk all day or pushing through intense workouts? If you’re 45 or older and living a busy, active life in Hell’s Kitchen, you’ve likely experienced the stiffness and discomfort that come with daily stress, poor posture, or overuse.

​You might be thinking, “I can stretch on my own. What’s the difference?” The difference is huge. When done correctly, assisted stretching can relieve tension, reduce pain, and improve mobility far more effectively than stretching on your own. Our experts target the right muscles and joints with precision, using advanced techniques to release tension and restore proper movement patterns.

​Increased Flexibility – Move with ease and reduce the risk of injury.

Pain Relief – Address tight muscles and joint restrictions that cause discomfort.

Improved Circulation – Promote healing and recovery by increasing blood flow.

Better Posture – Combat the effects of sitting, standing, or repetitive movements.

Stress Reduction – Release tension stored in your muscles and feel more relaxed.

​Ask yourself:

Do you wake up feeling stiff and sore most mornings?

Does it take longer to recover after workouts?

Is lower back pain or hip tightness slowing you down?

Have you been avoiding physical activity because it feels harder than it used to?

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Muscle tightness and imbalances are common among busy New Yorkers, especially those over 45. These issues don’t just affect how you move—they impact how you live. Fortunately, there’s a simple solution:

​Our Proprietary Program for Lasting Pain Relief 

At Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy, we’ve created a unique assisted stretching program that goes beyond traditional techniques. Our approach is designed to provide fast and lasting relief by addressing the root causes of your tightness and pain. Here’s how we do it:

We start with a comprehensive assessment to understand your body’s unique needs. We’ll ask questions like: What areas feel the most tight or uncomfortable? What activities have become harder because of your stiffness or pain? What are your movement goals? (Is it pain-free workouts, better posture, or more energy throughout the day?) This assessment allows us to develop a customized plan that targets your specific problem areas and goals.

Once we’ve identified the areas that need attention, we use a combination of hands-on techniques to lengthen muscles, release tension, and improve joint mobility. Some of the techniques we use include: Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) for deeper, more effective stretches. Myofascial Release to reduce tension in connective tissue. Dynamic Joint Mobilization to restore healthy movement patterns.

Many clients feel immediate relief after just one session. Our goal is to help you move better and feel stronger with every session, while also teaching you strategies to maintain your progress long-term.

Assisted stretching isn’t just for athletes. It’s for anyone who wants to move better, feel younger, and live pain-free.

You’ll benefit from our program if you: 

- Sit for long hours at work and experience tight hips, shoulders, or neck pain. 

- Work out regularly and want to improve performance and reduce injury risk. 

- Experience frequent tension or soreness in your back, legs, or upper body. 

​- Want to maintain your mobility and independence as you get older.

Why wait for the pain to get worse?
​
The longer you ignore stiffness and discomfort, the more likely it is to turn into a chronic problem. Taking action now can prevent future issues, helping you stay active and independent for years to come. Imagine waking up feeling refreshed, loose, and ready to take on the day—without that nagging tightness slowing you down.

We know you’re busy, and making time for self-care can be a challenge. That’s why we bring our One-on-One Assisted Stretching Program directly to your home or office in Hell’s Kitchen. No commute. No crowded waiting rooms. Just expert care in the comfort of your own space.
